Chapter 264: Chapter 264: First World Extra Story: Love Her So Much_l
Su Hongxing did not sleep well that night, as she was preoccupied with the thought of making breakfast for Ye Ojlan. She forced herself out of bed early, fighting against her drowsiness.
Ye Qilan woke up late that day. Seeing a bustling Su Hongxing through the kitchen door, he said, “Hongxing, I don’t have time for breakfast, I’m rushing to work…”
In a rush, Su Hongxing replied, “It won’t take long, it’ll be ready soon. Please eat before you leave.”
“I have an important meeting this morning, I need to go right away.”
Hearing this, Su Hongxing left the kitchen, only to see Ye Ojlan’s hasty retreating figure.
She stood there in disappointment, feeling an emptiness in her heart…
Ye Qilan made a quick return, at a glance, he noticed her disappointed expression.
With a soft sigh, he gently pinched her puffy cheek: “You have stopped smiling lately. You look the best when you smile.”
While he spoke, he entered the kitchen, grabbing a freshly prepared egg to eat, he commented with his mouth full: “Delicious.”
Seeing him like this, Su Hongxing couldn’t help but laugh.
Ye Qilan turned to see her joyous, blossoming smile and his eyes dimmed.
Su Hongxing, flustered by his gaze, said, “Aren’t you in rush? Hurry up.”
Ye Qilan returned to reality, quickly stuffing a few dumplings into his mouth. Before leaving, he pulled Su Hongxing close for a couple of kisses: “I will try to come home early tonight.”
“Alright, I will be waiting.” Su Hongxing sent Ye Qilan off to the elevator before she turned back home.
After tidying up the kitchen, she made her way to the living room. Seeing the faded apricot flowers in the vase, she paused.
When they were dating, Ye Qilan loved gifting her apricot flowers, he never gifted roses.
Even after their marriage, he maintained this habit. Every few days, he would bring her apricot flowers. Even if it weren’t their season, he would always manage to find flowers.
Once, she had mentioned being bored of apricot flowers and asked if he could gift her a different kind. He had readily agreed. However, when she received flowers the next time, they were still apricot flowers.
At that time, he had said, he believed that apricot flowers were the most beautiful, the king amongst flowers, and most fitting to her temperament.
She was speechless. Only Ye Qilan would consider apricot flowers as the king of flowers…
Thinking of those past memories with Ye Qilan, her heart felt as sweet as if smothered in honey.
How could Ye Qilan, who loved her so much, cheat on her? She must have been delirious to doubt him.
At ten in the morning, she received a call from Xiao Ji, asking her to come to his company.
Without giving it too much thought, she complied.
“Xiao Ji…” Su Hongxing became silent on seeing others in the office.
Xiao Ji dismissed his staff, invited Su Hongxing to sit and handed her a gift box: “This is for you, I hope you like it.”
Su Hongxing accepted the jewellery box, but on seeing the diamond necklace inside, she instantly withdrew her hand: “This gift is so precious, I cannot accept it.”
“I think it suits your complexion perfectly. XingXing, let me put it on for you.” Xiao Ji unilaterally decided and started to assist Su Hongxing in wearing the necklace.
Su Hongxing quickly stopped him: “You should gift this to your girlfriend.”
How could she accept such a precious gift?
What’s more, if Ye Qilan found out, he would surely be jealous. More than once, Ye Qilan had said that Xiao Ji was not sincere and had asked her to stay away from him.
At first, she had thought Ye Qilan was overreacting, but she still tried to maintain a distance from Xiao Ji and communicated with him less and less.
“Wiry do you seem so distant? After all, we’ve known each other since childhood…”
