Chapter 1542: Chapter 1542: Tit for Tat (6)
“Sometimes, I think you’re really overconfident,” Su Hongxing muttered softly.
She knew that Ye Qilan was a rare business genius, but wasn’t there always a chance he could slip up? Xiao Ji was an old fox; wasn’t he afraid Xiao Ji would pull a trick on him?
“This is confidence! Honey, don’t worry, I’ve planned everything out. You don’t need to stress about me,” Ye Qilan said, his eyes filled with laughter. “Honey, I’ve noticed you love me a lot!”
Su Hongxing just wanted to roll her eyes. She wisely kept quiet; otherwise, he would go on endlessly.
“Honey, tell me, just how much do you love me?” Ye Qilan was dissatisfied with Su Hongxing’s indifferent response. Would it kill her to say she loved him?
“Ye Qilan, you’re so boring.” Su Hongxing pried Ye Qilan’s hand away.
Ye Qilan immediately clung to her again. “Honey, you haven’t told the truth. Do you love me as much as I love you?”
Su Hongxing was great in every aspect, except her mouth wasn’t sweet at all; she never bothered with sweet talk.
On the way home, Ye Qilan tried his best to pry open Su Hongxing’s mouth, while she managed to maintain her cool demeanor, letting him act on his own. Eventually, Ye Qilan was left frustrated, while Little Pudding was delighted: “Daddy is really silly; Mommy loves me the most, the most.”
Ye Qilan looked at Little Pudding, “Daughter, you’re becoming less and less adorable.”
Little Pudding beamed, leaping into Su Hongxing’s arms, not forgetting to show off to Ye Qilan.
Ye Qilan felt disheartened and followed behind the mother-daughter duo forlornly.
Seeing Ye Qilan quiet, Su Hongxing turned back to look at him: “Ye Qilan, how can you even be jealous of your own daughter?”
Ye Qilan, in a bad mood, turned his gaze away.
Little Pudding added fuel to the fire: “Mommy, Daddy is even more childish than me.”
“Exactly, your daddy is just three years old; he’s mentally younger than you.” Su Hongxing shook her head and laughed, quickly stepping into the living room.
Ye Qilan watched Su Hongxing’s silhouette and decided not to move.
After Su Hongxing went upstairs, she chatted with Qiao Qiao for a while, then brought up her encounter with Ye Xiandong.
“Although Ye Xiandong didn’t directly admit to liking you, I could tell he’s indeed fallen for you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t keep quiet about you being pregnant with Ye Shiqing’s child. So, you can relax for now; he won’t go public with it.”
“How is that possible?” Qiao Qiao found it unbelievable.
An idle playboy like Ye Xiandong couldn’t possibly have feelings for a woman, especially since he never seemed to take her seriously.
“I even discussed this with Ye Qilan. When someone falls in love, they’re usually on the losing side. If Ye Xiandong loves you, he’s even less likely to divorce you. Think about all the years you’ve tangled with him; isn’t it funny? When you loved him wholeheartedly, he was out living wildly. Now that you want a divorce, he’s fallen for you and can even tolerate you being pregnant with another man’s child. It’s like a cycle of karma, retribution at its finest.” Su Hongxing recalled Ye Xiandong’s expression today and shook her head.
“In your opinion, what’s the chance of me getting a divorce?” Qiao Qiao paused for a moment, then asked.
Even knowing Ye Xiandong had some feelings for her, she felt nothing. Her love for Ye Xiandong had long since vanished, never to return.
“It’s tough! He said there’s no way you’ll remarry!” Su Hongxing looked at Qiao Qiao sympathetically.

I think the biggest flaw in this story is the lack of ambiguous scenes. Ever since the website got stricter, I’ve been afraid to write them, so Ye Si basically has no spicy moments—what a pitiful and lamentable male lead.
