My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

Chapter 691: Chapter 691: Plotting Against Her_1

Ye Qilan behind her didn’t respond. When Su Hongxing looked back at him, she saw his hair was a mess, his usually neat shirt was wrinkled, and his pants and shoes had numerous stains.

It seemed like in his hurry to get her to the hospital, he had knocked over a trash can, thus his disheveled appearance.

For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. After all, he went through all this because he was worried about her and wanted to get her to the hospital as quickly as possible.

Actually, she was fine, she didn’t know why he was panicking so much.

Even so, she decided it was better to keep her thoughts to herself.

Once in the car, Su Hongxing quickly realized they were not taking the route back to their company.

“Where are you going? I need to get back to work.” Su Hongxing looked at Ye Qilan.

“You have probably been overtired these past few days due to Mr. Xiao’s passing and it’s weakened your immune system, causing you to become ill. Today, you should rest at home, I’ll accompany you.” Ye Qilan replied gently, his attention remaining on driving.

With a weary sigh, Su Hongxing said: “The doctor said I’m fine, just need to take some medicine. Your time is precious, there’s no need to waste it on me.”

“Amou, be good. Even a minor illness can turn into a serious one.” Ye Qilan replied sternly.

Su Hongxing obediently closed her mouth. After all, arguing was useless. When Ye Qilan made up his mind, there was no room for her to refute.

When they arrived at Qingmu Garden, Ye Qilan was insistent on carrying Su Hongxing into the house.

“I’m just a little ill, not disabled.” Su Hongxing protested weakly.

Was there a need to fuss so much over this?

Ye Qilan’s eyes flickered but he didn’t explain. He was determined to make use of every opportunity to be closer to her, hoping that if she became used to his presence, she might stop resisting his affection.

Once Ye Qilan had placed Su Hongxing on the sofa, he quickly disappeared.

Su Hongxing didn’t think much of it, she took out the medicine and swallowed it. She had been working peacefully at the office when Ye Qilan insisted she take the day off to rest at home, it was quite boring.

As she was staring blankly at the TV screen, Ye Qilan returned, squatting in front of her with a bunch of freshly picked apricot blossoms in his hands.

The apricot flowers were captivating, with dewdrops on their petals they looked fresh and radiant.

“They are beautiful, thank you.” Su Hongxing accepted the flowers and while gazing at the beautiful blossoms, a slight smile tugged at her lips.

Ye Qilan caressed her soft cheek, his voice was as mellow as aged wine: “However beautiful the flowers, they can’t compare to a fraction of you.”

Su Hongxing avoided Ye Qilan’s piercing gaze, his breath now uncomfortably close. The closer he got, the more nervous she became.

She finally understood what Ye Qilan was up to, he was plotting something.

At this point, was there any way to extricate herself from the situation?

To be honest, she didn’t want to be intimate with him and strongly resisted such advances. It wasn’t just her body that resisted him, even her heart was crying out to push him away.

Ye Qilan seemed to notice her nervousness and stepped back a few paces, giving her a warm smile.

She wasn’t sure what game he was playing, her palms were damp with sweat and she was becoming more anxious.

Only when Ye Qilan’s breath moved away did she take a sigh of relief.

Since he was so close, Su Hongxing could hear Ye Qilan’s heart pounding.

He grabbed her hand and set it against his chest, his voice tender and soothing: “Can you hear it? My heart beats only for you…”

Every time he was near her, his heartbeat would lose control.

With Ye Qilan being like this, Su Hongxing found it hard to resist him.
