Chapter 1537: Chapter 1537: Tit for Tat (1)
Seeing Su Hongxing’s worried expression, Ye Qilan felt secretly pleased, while also calculating quickly in his mind.
"Honey, if you’re really worried about me, why not become my personal secretary? You’re so smart. With you by my side, even if Du Qingyu wants to make a move against me, you can protect me." Ye Qilan looked at Su Hongxing earnestly.
If Su Hongxing became his secretary, the couple could be inseparable, and Su Hongxing could protect him anytime and anywhere. It was a win-win situation, which seemed wonderful upon reflection.
"Well..." Su Hongxing hesitated a bit.
She truly worried about Ye Qilan, but she didn’t want to be with him all the time; otherwise, there’d be no freshness in their marriage.
Besides, with Ye Qilan’s malicious nature, if he didn’t want Du Qingyu to take advantage of him, he would have his own means, wouldn’t he?
"I have my own job; I can’t be your secretary." Su Hongxing dismissed the impulse.
She must have her own personal space and not be swayed by Ye Qilan’s quick words.
"Won’t you reconsider? Besides, isn’t my personal safety more important than your work?" Ye Qilan, unwilling to give up, continued to persuade her.
"Come on, do you think I don’t know what you’re up to? Ye Qilan, even between couples, there must be personal space. Don’t you find being together all the time stifling?" Su Hongxing thought no man likes his wife being overly watchful; he was rather peculiar in this regard.
"How could it be stifling? Or do you often feel stifled when you see me?" Ye Qilan couldn’t understand where Su Hongxing’s so-called stifling came from.
For three lifetimes, he hadn’t managed to be together properly with her. Even after marrying her, she prioritized their two children over him.
All this time, he only resented that she gave him too little time.
"Let’s drop this topic. You go to work; I’ll return to look after Xiaoqiao..."
"Since you finally came, accompany me until I finish work; only then can you leave. That’s an order!" Ye Qilan interrupted Su Hongxing.
Under Ye Qilan’s unreasonable and domineering demand, Su Hongxing ended up staying with Ye Qilan until four-thirty in the afternoon, only to head home together with him.
Seeing Su Hongxing return, Ye Shiqing came over quickly: "Xiaoqiao hasn’t eaten since this morning; help me persuade her."
"She lost her appetite upon seeing you, or rather, she’s at odds with you. Don’t tell me you’re unaware that you’re her emotional knot." Su Hongxing replied softly.
Before Ye Shiqing appeared, Qiao Qiao could eat, sleep, and laugh well; everything was fine. But when Ye Shiqing arrived, everything changed.
"She’s saying she wants to abort our child; do you think I can ignore that? Or do you believe she should abort the child?" Ye Shiqing’s eyes grew colder.
"Every life is precious, I don’t deny that. But we aren’t Xiaoqiao, and we don’t know the painful struggles in her heart. If she wants to abort the child, it must be because she’s at her wit’s end and feels this is the best way..."
"Su Hongxing, you and her are alike, both cruel. That’s my child; how can I let her kill it?" Ye Shiqing couldn’t agree.
It’s said that women are gentle, but in his view, women are the most fearsome and cruel beings.
"Have you thought about the fact that if the child isn’t aborted, Xiaoqiao would be ruined? Between the child and Xiaoqiao, who would you choose? Don’t tell me such a choice doesn’t exist. If you have to choose one, who would it be?" Su Hongxing coldly threw out this question.
