When Ye Qilan heard this, he could not help but laugh in a low voice. He realized that Su Hongxing was really to his liking.

Su Hongxing, on the other hand, felt that Ye Qilan was inexplicable. She could not figure out what he was laughing at and did not want to know what Ye Qilan was laughing at.

What she said just now was just the truth. Humans were creatures that sought benefits and avoided harm. Why should she save a woman who coveted her husband?

Du Qingyu looked at Ye Qilan’s smile in a daze.

She had known Ye Qilan for many years. In her memory, she had never seen Ye Qilan smile so innocently.

When Ye Qilan smiled at her or at other women, it was as if he was wearing a mask. The smiling mask was harmless and gentle, but there was no warmth.

At this moment, she saw the smile on Ye Qilan’s face that she had been yearning for a long time. How could she not feel sad?

Standing under the scorching sun, Du Qingyu’s palm was still as cold as iron.

When Ye Qilan stood beside her, she turned to look at him. “You promised me last night that you would stay at home for two more days. You can’t go back on your word.”

“I’ll do what I promised, but don’t make my wife unhappy. If you don’t provoke her, she won’t embarrass you.” Ye Qilan paused. “You’re a smart person. You should know what I’m talking about.”

Du Qingyu’s expression changed slightly. “What are you trying to say?!”

Ye Qilan held the back of Du Qingyu’s head and forced her to look at him. “Du Qingyu, you won’t look like it anymore if you continue to pretend!”

“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Du Qingyu pushed Ye Qilan’s hand away forcefully. Her face was red as she turned around and was about to return to the main room.

Ye Qilan’s voice rang out behind her. “There’s no such thing as a wall that doesn’t let the wind get through. You thought you did it secretly, but you still leaked the news. Don’t tell me you weren’t the one who found Yanzi. Didn’t I teach you how to borrow someone else’s hand to do your dirty work?!”

Du Qingyu clenched her fists, her lips turning pale.

Yes, nothing she did could escape Ye Qilan’s eyes.

She was jealous of Su Hongxing. She was jealous of the woman Ye Qilan was willing to marry despite being useless.

Back then, she had wanted to marry Ye Qilan, but he had found a new lover so quickly.

The moment she saw Su Hongxing, she could not be jealous openly due to her status. However, there were so many women who admired Ye Qilan. Any one of them could embarrass Su Hongxing.

She had calculated everything, but she had forgotten that Su Hongxing was not so easy to deal with.

Yanzi was such a fierce woman and came to provoke her, but she actually returned empty-handed.

“Qilan, you’re so smart. Do you know why I married your father back then?” Du Qingyu returned to Ye Qilan. Her slender fingers slid across his Adam’s apple suggestively and went to the collar of his white shirt.

Ye Qilan’s expression did not change.

It had been like this for so many years. No matter how she teased him, even if she took off her clothes and danced in front of him, she still could not seduce him.

She hadn’t even been able to kiss him. That was what she was most indignant about.

“Why you married Ye Yanhong is your own business. I don’t care. Ye Yanhong has always been a playboy. Some of the women he has outside are even younger than you. So, don’t think that your status as Mrs. Ye is stable…”

“What about Su Hongxing? Is her position as the Fourth Young Mistress stable?!” Du Qingyu smiled charmingly as she breathed on Ye Qilan’s thin lips.
