Chapter 1462: Chapter 1462: Pursue Him (4)
Xiaohe rang the doorbell of Du Qingyu’s house, and soon after, Ye Qilan came to open the door.
She handed the phone to Ye Qilan, "Madam just called, asking you to call her back."
She peeked inside and noticed Du Qingyu half-leaning on the sofa, looking unwell. She simply walked in and said to Ye Qilan, "I see Du Miss looks very unwell, how about I stay tonight to look after her?"
"How could I impose?" Du Qingyu looked up at Xiaohe.
Xiaohe smiled and replied, "Miss Du is a very important client of Sir’s, taking care of Miss Du is my duty."
She thought Ye Qilan would follow the lead, but unexpectedly, Ye Qilan said, "Du Qingyu looks frail, it’s fine if I leave a bit later. Xiaohe, go to the pharmacy and buy some medicine for Du Qingyu."
"Are you not going to call Madam back?" Xiaohe was a bit anxious.
"Just go buy the medicine as I told you, why are you nagging?" Ye Qilan reprimanded impatiently.
Xiaohe snorted inwardly. If Su Hongxing gets angry later, don’t blame her for not passing the message. Du Qingyu being sick is no big deal; the most important person is Su Hongxing, okay?
Despite having strong opinions, Xiaohe dared not show it on her face. After she left Du Qingyu’s house, she suddenly remembered that Ye Qilan only told her to buy medicine, but didn’t say which kind. Should she go back and ask for clarification?
After considering for a while, Xiaohe still obediently went to the pharmacy and randomly bought some cold medicine...
As soon as Xiaohe left, Du Qingyu kept staring at Ye Qilan’s face. After a while, she said hoarsely, "Qilan, is it really you?"
Ye Qilan sat down on the sofa, "Miraculously survived."
"It’s really good to see you," Du Qingyu said, letting out a laugh, her eyes quickly welling up with tears, "Since you’ve held a press conference, it must be true. I never thought I’d have the chance to talk face to face with you in my lifetime."
The last time she had sat together peacefully with Ye Qilan was a long, long time ago. Ever since Su Hongxing appeared in Ye Qilan’s life, no other woman, including herself, could capture his attention.
"Destiny is unpredictable," Ye Qilan paused, then said, "You live alone, you still need to take good care of yourself. When Xiaohe comes back with the medicine, I’ll ask her to keep you company. If you really feel unwell, don’t endure it, go see a doctor, health is important."
"Okay, I will," Du Qingyu said, smiling with a hint of sadness, "I thought you would stay with me tonight."
"I am a family man, besides my wife, I don’t flirt with other women. You’re my ex-girlfriend, I especially need to avoid suspicion," Ye Qilan replied in a calm voice, without revealing any emotion.
Du Qingyu lightly pressed her lips together and said, looking directly into Ye Qilan’s eyes, "I used to think you were Ding Ye, so naturally I had no ideas. But now that I know you are Ye Qilan, the only man I’ve loved in my life, how can you expect me to..."
"Du Qingyu, as I said, I have a wife and child, and I love her very much. It’s impossible for me to have a relationship with you beyond the safety line behind her back, this is the bottom line I must uphold as her husband. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear what you just said," Ye Qilan interrupted Du Qingyu’s words.
"You used to be able to date multiple girlfriends at the same time, why can’t you now? I can be your secret lover, just give me a chance, will you?"
