My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

Chapter 267: First World Extra Story: Cultivating into a Parasite_1

Yes, Su Hongxing is nothing more than a hindrance to Ye Qilan.

But what can she do? She has never thought of giving Ye Qilan to another woman, including Cao Shiyu.

Su Hongxing pushed away these thoughts, refusing to let Cao Shiyu’s insinuations get under her skin.

Heeding Ye Qilan’s request for an early dinner, she bought groceries in advance and prepared a feast, waiting for his return home.

At nearly eight o’clock, Ye Qilan’s call came telling her he had to entertain and couldn’t return early, advising her to eat first.

She couldn’t deny unfeigned disappointment.

It had been a while since she last shared a dinner with Ye Qilan.

She looked at the wilted apricot blossom, her mood desolate.

He used to gift her flowers every two or three days, but now, he could only remember to do it once every two weeks.

Su Hongxing told herself not to become resentful, yet realized she was becoming just that…

She forced herself to eat a little, lacking an appetite, and put the leftovers in the refrigerator.

She had the habit of awaiting Ye Qilan’s return and this anticipation lasted for a few hours. Then her phone rang. Cao Shiyu had sent several photos featuring Ye Qilan with her, which made her eyes sting…

Ye Qilan did not return home until half past one in the morning, expecting to find Su Hongxing waiting for him in the living room. But to his surprise, the living room was shrouded in darkness, without light or people.

He softly pushed the bedroom door open and found her asleep on the bed. He slowed down, gazing at her sleeping face with depth in his eyes.

Su Hongxing woke up suddenly, feeling something was amiss.

Upon opening her eyes, she came face to face with Ye Qilan’s intense gaze. Startled, she quickly turned on the bedside lamp to find that it was already three in the morning.

“Why didn’t you shower after coming back?” Su Hongxing asked, puzzled.

His silence upon his return, the lack of a shower, his glaring gaze – had something happened?

“Did you go meet Xiao Ji today?” Ye Qilan asked, his voice icy and gaze chilling.

Su Hongxing was taken aback, a sinking feeling in her heart. “Are you having me followed?”

She knew about Ye Qilan’s possessiveness. While they were dating, he would not allow her to look at another man. After their marriage, he did everything he could to prevent her from working.

He wanted to confine her at home, make her a dependent without any capability, to ensure she could never leave him.

She had seen through his intentions.

At the time, she had believed he cared about her, so she willingly became a housewife according to his preference.

However, she never expected Ye Qilan could be so twisted to have her shadowed, which was positively pathological.

“Answer me first!”

“I met a friend and haven’t done anything wrong. You come home late every day and reek of another woman’s perfume, but I haven’t questioned you and yet you have the audacity to question me——”

Su Hongxing’s words were abruptly cut off by Ye Qilan’s lips.

He bit her lip brutally, and she tasted blood in her mouth.

No matter how she struggled, she couldn’t escape his control. In the end, her hands were bound to the bedpost…

This struggle continued until dawn when Ye Qilan finally eased off Su Hongxing.

He was somewhat regretful, hating himself for hurting her in his rage. He ran his fingers over the mark on her wrist. “Hongxing, I didn’t mean to…”

Su Hongxing slapped his hand away, her body heavy as she hurried to the next room, quickly bolting the door behind her.

Ye Qilan, who had pursued her, was a step late, finding himself blocked outside the door.
