“Morning!” Ye Qilan’s voice was hoarse as he moved his arm.

Only then did Su Hongxing realize that she was lying on Ye Qilan’s arm. She quickly moved away. “I’m sorry, I…”

“There’s no need to apologize. It’s comfortable to hug you.” Ye Qilan shook his arms and got off the bed first.

Su Hongxing sat on the bed in a daze. It was hard to imagine that she had slept with Ye Qilan all night.

When she was young, she often slept with Xiao Ji. When they grew up and had the sensibilities between men and women, they did it less.

She never thought that one day, the man lying beside her would not be Xiao Ji.

During breakfast, Ye Qilan took good care of her. It was obvious that he was good at taking care of people in the past. There were even some details that made people think that he doted on her.

In the afternoon, she even received a call from Ye Qilan. It was just an ordinary call to show concern, telling her to rest well. If she felt bored, she could look for him at his company.

Of course, Su Hongxing would not go to Ye Qilan’s company to make her presence known.

When she woke up in the afternoon, she found Ye Qilan sitting on the sofa having a video conference.

Seeing that she was awake, he immediately turned off the video.

This inevitably gave people the illusion that she was much more important than his work.

Just as she was in a daze, Ye Qilan slowly walked up to her and carried her to the edge of the bed. His movements were as gentle as if she was fragile porcelain.

“The old residence is in another city. It’s a three-hour drive. This is a dress I bought for you at the last minute. Wear this and see if it fits.” Ye Qilan gave her a black dress.

Seeing that he was about to take off her pajamas, Su Hongxing immediately reached out to stop him. “I can do it myself!”

She took the dress and entered the laundry room. She realized that the size of the dress was just right!

Just as she was staring at her reflection in the mirror, Ye Qilan pushed the door open and entered.

He went forward and pulled her hair to the side. He personally put on a necklace with an exquisite pink heart-shaped diamond for her.

Su Hongxing’s skin was very fair, and the black dress accentuated her snow-white skin.

She looked at herself in the mirror and the tall man beside her. It felt unreal.

The cold necklace clung to her skin, making her shiver and wake up.

“You look good.” Ye Qilan held Su Hongxing’s hand and said gently, “Let’s go. I’ll take you home.”

Su Hongxing’s eyes stung when she heard the word “home”.

Ever since she could remember, she did not have a home. Ye Qilan’s so-called home was probably just a relay station she passed by.

Three hours later, Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan went to the Ye family’s old residence in the capital.

The room was filled with people, all of them dressed in bright clothes. At a glance, there were men and women of all ages. The stern old man in the middle was already in his seventies and was sizing her up from head to toe.

“Fourth Brother, is this the woman you married?! Ye Ling looked at Su Hongxing disdainfully, “Isn’t she too ugly? Won’t you throw up when you hug her to sleep?”

“Ye Ling, how can you speak like that?” Ye Ling’s father, Ye Peng, scolded coldly.

“Aren’t you going to let me tell you the truth? All the girlfriends Fourth Brother had in the past were all beautiful. She’s really too ugly. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to eat her…”

Ye Qilan shot her a cold glance, and Ye Ling immediately shut up.

After that, Ye Qilan was called into the study by Old Master Ye. Only Su Hongxing was left sitting in the living room, facing the entire Ye family.

Su Hongxing knew that she was not welcome because the Ye family looked at her as if she was an intruder.
