Chapter 392: Chapter 392: Deliberately Creating the Illusion of Escape_1

Just as everyone was busy searching for Su Hongxing, Ye Qilan’s phone rang.

He was slightly stunned at the incoming call display, then answered the phone, “You are…Su Hongxing?”

“Who else could it be? I just saw your call. I was asleep and had turned on silent mode, so I only called you back now.”

By this time, Su Hongxing had already been missing for three hours.

Ye Qilan took a deep breath and asked in a pretense of calmness, “Where are you now, and why did you leave without telling anyone?”

“Of course I’m at home when I sleep. I felt a bit uncomfortable after going to the bathroom, so I went out for a while. I thought you were on a date with Miss Mo and didn’t want to disturb you. Coincidentally, a taxi passed by then, so I went back to the villa. I’m a bit hungry now and going to find something to eat, bye.”

Without waiting for Ye Qilan to speak, Su Hongxing hung up the call.

Ye Qilan rushed back to the villa as fast as he could. Seeing Su Hongxing sitting comfortably in the living room and having soup, he finally relaxed.

Knowing that he had returned, Su Hongxing did not look at him and continued to enjoy her meal.

“Is our date over just like that?” Ye Qilan asked.

Their date started in a seemingly casual way, but ended with his panic, not at all pleasant.

He also wanted to ask her if she had deliberately created an illusion of escape today to provoke him?

In the end, he didn’t ask anything.

“Otherwise? Dates are tiring. Why don’t you go out with Miss Mo? I’d rather sleep a little more at home.” After eating and drinking enough, Su Hongxing threw down her chopsticks and bowl, deciding to take a walk to help digestion.

Ye Qilan followed behind Su Hongxing, staring at her back in a daze.

Given this woman’s nature, she would never sit idly by. Just like the last time when he was going to marry Cao Shiyu, didn’t she force him into a corner with her own ways?

Could it be that she has a plan this time too, intending to ruin his engagement ceremony with Mo Qiu once again?

But she also said that she would not attend his engagement ceremony and just asked him to keep his cell phone turned on.

He even suspects maliciously, could it be another wicked trick for her to ask him to keep his phone on, hoping to prevent his engagement from happening?

“The scenery here isn’t bad. After leaving, I might miss it, or maybe not.” Su Hongxing found a bamboo chair to sit down and stretched.

“No leaving!” Ye Qilan’s eyebrows twitched, and he said sternly.

Su Hongxing was startled and looked at him, “What do you mean?”

Only then did Ye Qilan realize that his tone was not right. He gave a small smile, “I mean, let’s wait until you give birth to the baby.”

As for what to do after the baby is born, we’ll decide later. He is now a mess and completely at a loss.

“Yes, once the ‘cargo’ in my belly is ‘unloaded’, it will be a lot easier. I’d be quite relieved to give you the baby to raise.” Su Hongxing tried to find a comfortable position to sleep but couldn’t seem to find one.

Seeing Su Hongxing uncomfortable, Ye Qilan lifted her onto his lap, let her lean her head on his shoulder, “Do you feel a little better now?”

Su Hongxing shook her head, “Still not comfortable, I should sleep in bed.”

“Don’t move. You’ve just eaten and you’re not fully digested yet, so just sleep in my arms.” Qilan gently patted her head.

Su Hongxing nestled in his arms, her smile cryptic, “You did promise me. Once I give birth to the baby, you will let me be free. You won’t go back on your word, will you?”
