My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

Su Hongxing did not give any response to Ye Qilan.

Regardless of whether Ye Qilan remembered anything from his past life, she had never thought of rekindling their past relationship.

In her view, things that have slipped away are gone, regardless of the reasons behind it.

It seemed that Ye Qilan had anticipated her reaction. He didn’t say much, just accompanied her to the hospital.

When Grandma Jiang and Jiang Su saw Ye Qilan, they felt a little intimidated.

Both grandmother and granddaughter had an instinctive aversion to risks. The first time they laid their eyes on Ye Qilan, they knew this man was not to be trifled with—he was dangerous.

While Ye Qilan was there, Grandma Jiang didn’t say a word.

As soon as Ye Qilan stepped out of the ward, Grandma Jiang grabbed Su Hongxing’s hand tightly and said earnestly, “You don’t have something going on with Mr. Ye, do you? Listen to your grandmother this time; no matter how good Mr. Ye may be, you can’t afford to provoke him. A man of his background, how could he take a fancy to you? At most it’ll just be a casual fling.”

Even though Hongxing from their family was certainly outstanding and not out of Ye Qilan’s league, when did rich men ever truly mean well?

“Things between him and me are not as you think…”

Su Hongxing heard some noise at the door and turned around to see Ye Qilan bringing back some hot water. He held her hand in front of Grandma Jiang and Jiang Su, not trying to hide it at all.

Grandma Jiang and Jiang Su looked at each other. Both of them were the type to bully the weak and fear the strong, so they didn’t dare to say anything in front of Ye Qilan.

Su Hongxing spent the morning at the hospital, and Ye Qilan spent the entire morning with her there.

Su Hongxing wanted to make a scene and drive Ye Qilan away.

However, Ye Qilan was always able to diffuse the awkwardness in a few words, which left her feeling frustrated.

At this moment, she found herself missing the old Ye Qilan. He was easier to handle compared to the Ye Qilan she was faced with now.

Upon leaving the hospital, she fell asleep as soon as she got into the car.

When she woke up to find they were on the highway, she turned to Ye Qilan and asked, “Where are we going?”

Ye Qilan looked at his wristwatch: “We’ll reach our destination in an hour. Do you want to sleep a bit longer on my lap?”

Su Hongxing glanced at his leg and chose to lean on the back of the seat and feign sleep instead.

And sure enough, she fell asleep again.

When she awoke, she found that the car had stopped.

The apricot trees in the distance were swaying in the breeze, showing off their graceful figures. Ye Qilan was standing under an apricot tree, leaves spiraling in the wind and settling on his shoulders.

The sun was setting, elongating his silhouette, which looked slightly desolate.

This was Apricot Garden.

The Apricot Garden that Ye Xiandong had once brought her to.

She sat in the car, staring at the endless apricot trees and then at the man standing amongst the trees. Unconsciously, she also felt a pang of melancholy.

She eventually got out of the car and walked slowly up to Ye Qilan. “Why did you suddenly bring me here?”

“I planted these apricot trees myself, and they’ve grown well over the years,” Ye Qilan said, warmth in his eyes as he looked out at the lush Apricot Forest.

Su Hongxing didn’t know how to respond.

When Ye Xiandong had brought her to the Apricot Garden, she had suspected that this apricot forest had something to do with her. Ye Qilan’s words confirmed her suspicion.

What she didn’t understand was, did Ye Qilan know about her existence fifteen years earlier? After all, this Apricot Garden had been Ye Qilan’s property for the past fifteen years.

And Ye Qilan had just said that he had planted these apricot trees himself.

When he said he had been waiting for her for a long time, did he mean he had been waiting for her to grow up since fifteen years ago?
