Chapter 1058: Chapter 1058: Last Words (8)

If Su Hongxing hadn’t been kidnapped by Liu Yuan, she might still have someone to talk to tonight.

Feeling downhearted, Qiao Qiao simply chose to go upstairs, determined to avoid all the Ye Family members.

Little did she know as soon as she reached the foot of the stairs, she saw Du Qingyu being pushed over by a servant.

She knew of Du Qingyu’s past admiration for Ye Qilan and had never had much regard for her, tonight would be no exception.

“Xiaoqiao, don’t worry, Hongxing will be okay. Qilan is so capable, he’s sure to rescue Su Hongxing,” Du Qingyu was amiable toward Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao didn’t want to deal with it and lowered her head as she walked past Du Qingyu.

Seeing this, the servant coldly said, “Our Madam is talking to you, how can you ignore her?”

Qiao Qiao turned to glance at the servant, who, under her glare, promptly shut his mouth.

After watching Qiao Qiao enter her room, the servant said to Du Qingyu, “Madam, I heard that the wife of the third young master has a flirtation with the second young master, is that true?”

“Whether true or false, if the old master hears you asking this question, you’ll certainly be kicked out on the spot. In the Ye Family, you should know what can be said and what cannot,” Du Qingyu gave the servant a lecture before going downstairs.

Qiao Qiao bathed early and had no interest in watching the evening show. She got into bed and checked Su Hongxing’s past blog posts. There were photos of Hongxing with her from their student days, such beautiful times, with none of the current worries.

Since meeting Ye Qilan, Su Hongxing’s life had become fraught with hardships. Now she believed, everyone had their fated tribulations. If Hongxing’s tribulation was Ye Qilan, what about hers…

As she was lost in thought, someone suddenly pushed the door and entered.

She looked up, saw Ye Shiqing’s face, and her expression drastically changed.

The thought that came to her mind at this moment was–this man was Xiaoqiao’s tribulation!

She hurried out of bed, wrapped herself in a coat, and asked in a low voice, “Shiqing, why are you in my room? If grandfather sees this, wouldn’t that be terrible? You better leave at once!”

Ye Shiqing quickly stepped up to Qiao Qiao and without a word, embraced her.

Qiao Qiao was frightened into silence.

This was the Ye Family, downstairs were all Ye Family members. There was Ye Xiandong, the Old Master, and the parents of Ye Xiandong and Ye Shiqing’s parents.

If any of them saw her and Ye Shiqing embracing, she’d be unable to explain.

She struggled fiercely in Ye Shiqing’s arms, but he held her tightly, softly whispering, “Don’t move, let me hold you, just for a little while!”

Where would Qiao Qiao dare to listen to him? She finally broke free from his embrace and sharply ordered, “Ye Shiqing, you better leave now!”

Ye Shiqing didn’t budge, his eyes soft as water, “The very reason I rushed back was to see you.”

To see her again in this year that was entangled with him.

This year was special, he never expected that after so many years of emotional vacancy, he’d fall for a married woman. It was this year that his life underwent many changes.

He knew her routine well, and he knew she couldn’t fit into the life circle of the Ye Family members, so he made a special trip here.

Yet, she failed to recognize his painstaking efforts; in her eyes, he, Ye Shiqing, would always be the one who shouldn’t be seen.

“Now that you’ve seen, you can leave,” Qiao Qiao let her guard down for a moment, only to quickly wall herself off again.

She and Ye Shiqing were impossible from the start; she definitely shouldn’t cause trouble for him, nor for herself.
