Chapter 1481: Chapter 1481: Competing to See Who Is More Ruthless (5)
When Ye Shiqing is mentioned, Xiaomei acts like she has a crush.
Just seeing Ye Shiqing’s handsome face would make anyone’s day better.
"If he’s here to see me, he’d have come in already. He probably knows someone working nearby. Don’t meddle," Su Hongxing quickly replied.
If Ye Shiqing really came inside, Qiao Qiao would probably quit her job and leave!
"Don’t you think Ye Shiqing is really handsome? We have so few men at our company, and they all look quite plain. If Ye Shiqing were our colleague, wouldn’t that be great?"
Su Hongxing was startled by this comment: "Keep your voice down, don’t let Ye Shiqing hear you."
Otherwise, Ye Shiqing might apply at Ace Design. Boss Jiao would worship Ye Shiqing like a deity. She could predict the ensuing drama even with her eyes closed; Qiao Qiao wouldn’t work, she’d come begging her, she’d go plead with Ye Qilan, then have to dismiss Ye Shiqing...
"Why can’t Ye Shiqing hear it?" Xiaomei’s voice interrupted Su Hongxing’s thoughts.
"You’re so gossipy, hurry up and work." Su Hongxing felt exasperated and chased Xiaomei away.
When she turned around, she saw Qiao Qiao’s pale face, staring blankly at her.
Seeing Qiao Qiao like this made her feel bitter. Such a good girl, yet Ye Shiqing scared her to the core.
"Xiaoqiao, don’t be afraid. He won’t work here. Ace Design is Ye Qilan’s territory; he can’t come here to bother you."
"But he can come and go freely at Qingmu Garden..." Qiao Qiao slumped in defeat: "I feel like I’ll never shake him off in my life. That man’s a lunatic."
Su Hongxing agreed with Qiao Qiao’s assessment; Ye Shiqing’s actions were indeed crazy, much like Ye Qilan from a past life. Didn’t Ye Qilan divorce her but still forcibly confine her in Qingmu Garden? She couldn’t take it anymore and chose self-imposed exile.
Thinking of this, she suddenly became very worried for Qiao Qiao, hoping Ye Shiqing won’t drive her insane.
"I’ll talk to Ye Shiqing again. You focus on work and stop overthinking." Su Hongxing comforted Qiao Qiao and left the company, only to find Ye Shiqing lingering at their company entrance as expected.
She called Ye Shiqing into an empty fire escape, speaking bluntly: "Second brother, do you know how scared Xiaoqiao is of you right now? Even hearing your name frightens her. If you keep pressuring her, you might drive her crazy. If something happens to her, how do you plan to be with her? Loving someone isn’t like what you’re doing."
"You don’t need to scare me. When she was with me in the mountains, she was perfectly fine. If it weren’t for you showing up, she and I would be doing great." Ye Shiqing was impervious to Su Hongxing’s words.
"When we took her to the mountains, her face was as white as a ghost, do you think that’s normal? Are you fooling me or yourself? Haven’t you noticed, far from loving you, she visibly trembles at the sight of you! If you keep pushing her, I can guarantee you’ll regret it someday. I’ve said what I needed to say, think it over yourself." After saying that, Su Hongxing left.
Ye Shiqing stood stunned, feeling lost for the first time.
Was he wrong to be so fond of Xiaoqiao? He just wanted to be with her, so why was she afraid of him?
His plan was to wait for the child, find Ye Xiandong to get divorce proceedings started with Xiaoqiao, then fulfill his wish to marry her, ...
