Ye Xiandong wanted to continue watching the show, but Ye Qilan glanced at him. He could only leave unwillingly.

In the end, only Du Qingyu, Su Hongxing, and Ye Qilan remained in the living room.

The three of them didn’t say anything. The living room was strangely quiet.

After a moment of silence, Du Qingyu said softly, “It’s my fault that I fell into the swimming pool…”

“You were indeed in the wrong. Since you were the one who fell into the swimming pool, why didn’t you make it clear earlier? Why did you make such a big fuss over such a small matter and make my wife suffer? If this isn’t your fault, is it someone else’s fault?” Ye Qilan interrupted Du Qingyu. His words were unpleasant.

No matter how well-mannered Du Qingyu was, she could not help but flare up at this moment. “Ye Qilan, can you be fair? You don’t know the exact situation, but you’re always protecting her. I didn’t know you were such an unreasonable person in the past.”

Ye Qilan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Su Hongxing, who had been silent the whole time.

Su Hongxing stole a glance at him and met his focused eyes.

Ye Qilan held her soft hand and interlocked their fingers. He pulled her to sit beside him.

“Although I haven’t known Hongxing for long, I still have a good eye for people. She doesn’t like to be competitive, and she won’t frame others for no reason. Qingyu, I’m certain that she didn’t push you. Do you know why?”

Ye Qilan looked at Du Qingyu calmly.

A mocking smile flashed across Du Qingyu’s eyes, but she did not answer.

“Because my wife is a lazy person. She won’t have any thoughts about people she doesn’t know.”

Ye Qilan’s words stirred Su Hongxing’s heart.

Ye Qilan actually understood some of her personality in such a short period of time. Was this person meticulous, or did he understand human nature?

Perhaps even Xiao Ji, who grew up with her, wouldn’t protect her without asking about the truth.

Ye Qilan, who had only known her for a few days, had done it.

Perhaps this was the reason why Ye Qilan could make all sorts of women fall in love with her. When he valued her, it would make her feel like she was the person at the center of his heart. It would make her feel smug and ignorant.

When she was deeply immersed in it, he would have found a new and better pet to continue petting.

This man was really dangerous. She hated playboys so much, but she actually had a good impression of him.

“That’s right. She didn’t push me, but she could have helped me back then. Yet she didn’t save me. It’s because of this that I didn’t stand up and tell the truth immediately. Ye Qilan, it’s your principle to seek revenge for the smallest grievance. I learned this from you. Is it wrong?”

After Du Qingyu finished speaking, she looked at Su Hongxing.

She wanted to see how Su Hongxing would explain this time.

When Ye Qilan heard Du Qingyu’s words, he looked at Su Hongxing and smiled. “Why didn’t you help Du Qingyu?”

“Madam did want to catch me, but I avoided it. I thought about the situation at that time. If she had caught me, the two of us would have fallen into the swimming pool together. Since I couldn’t pull her back, why should I lose myself? It’s better for her to fall into the water alone than for the two of us to fall into the water together,” Su Hongxing replied indifferently.

Moreover, it was midsummer and July. Even the weakest woman would not catch a cold if she fell into the swimming pool. Wasn’t it crazy to make a big deal out of such a small matter?
