Chapter 1362: Chapter 1362: Human or Ghost (6)
Qiao Qiao felt quite relieved after hearing Su Hongxing’s words: “It’s good that you think this way. After your dissection of it, I also feel like maybe we misunderstood.”
These two emails were ambiguous, and combined with their over-interpretation, they naturally assumed the person emailing Su Hongxing was another Ye Qilan.
But what if the truth was the complete opposite?
In the following hours, Ye Qilan called Su Hongxing every few minutes, mostly to ask her how to cook certain dishes.
In the end, Su Hongxing got impatient and complained to him: “Can you not interrupt my work? You’ve called me eight times in two hours, each time for ten minutes. Do you think I still have time to get anything done?”
“Alright, I won’t bother you at work anymore. Honey, I’ll pick you up from work today,” Ye Qilan said before hanging up.
As he turned around, he saw Little Pudding glaring at him. Feeling cheerful, he picked her up. “Sweetheart, later we’ll go pick Mommy up from work. Excited?”
Little Pudding replied grumpily, “I don’t want to eat Daddy’s cooking. It’s not yummy!”
“Fine, I’ll save it for your mommy,” Ye Qilan said, feeling that Little Pudding lacked appreciation for his efforts. After a whole morning of practice, he was convinced his cooking skills had improved significantly.
At 3 p.m., Su Hongxing was busy when someone walked right up to her, blocking her light. She looked up and saw Ye Qilan’s face. “What are you doing here?”
“Didn’t I tell you? I came to pick you up from work.” Ye Qilan began helping Su Hongxing pack her things.
“Stop that,” Su Hongxing said, blocking him. “It’s only three o’clock. Who leaves work this early?”
This was absurd!
“You’re the boss’s wife. You can leave whenever you want!”
Ye Qilan’s comment left Su Hongxing stunned. “What do you mean? What boss’s wife?”
“The owner of Ace is Ye Qilan. Didn’t you know?” Ye Qilan chuckled. “So, you can leave whenever you like. No one would dare say a word.”
Su Hongxing’s brows furrowed deeply. “Why is everywhere your territory?”
She had thought she was a shareholder here, that she had a small privilege or two, and that Boss Qiao treated her kindly because of that. Turns out, the company was theirs to begin with.
“So you see, in this lifetime, don’t ever think about escaping my grasp, let alone betraying me,” Ye Qilan said, then turned to Little Pudding, who was standing to the side. “Little Pudding, come here and help Mommy with her handbag!”
Little Pudding immediately scurried over and grinned fawningly at Su Hongxing. “Mommy works so hard. Let me help Mommy!”
If she had a tail, it would definitely be wagging furiously at this moment.
Su Hongxing looked at Ye Qilan, then at her smiling baby girl, and couldn’t help but smile. “I have to admit, you’re pretty skilled. Little Pudding listens to you so well.”
“That’s why, when it comes to raising kids, I’m better at it than you. From now on, I’ll handle both kids. All you need to do is enjoy life,” Ye Qilan declared smugly. With two kids under his watch, any other Ye Qilan—alive or not—couldn’t possibly be his rival.
Of course, he would never share such a devious thought with Su Hongxing.
Hearing this, Su Hongxing quickly shook her head. “Absolutely not. Raising kids takes too much time. You still have a company to manage. Where will you find the time to teach them?”
Ye Qilan had big things to take care of. He shouldn’t waste his valuable time on the kids. She certainly didn’t want their children to hold Ye Qilan back.
