Chapter 1474: Chapter 1474: You’re So Cruel! (4)
Ye Qilan gently pinched Little Pudding’s rosy cheek: "Yes, your mom is most beautiful when she smiles."
Little Pudding’s sincerity warmed his heart.
With Little Pudding, the little troublemaker present, the meeting went on intermittently.
When Su Hongxing arrived at the company, Ye Qilan and Little Pudding had just come out of the conference room.
As soon as Little Pudding saw Su Hongxing, she ran over, hugging Su Hongxing’s leg and pouting: "Mommy, it’s so boring to have meetings with Daddy."
"You brought her to the meeting?" Su Hongxing picked up Little Pudding and found that this little kid had gotten heavier.
Once Little Pudding grows a bit more, she might soon find it hard to carry her.
"Our daughter is so adorable, I couldn’t bear to leave her alone in the office." Ye Qilan’s words were genuinely sincere.
Especially because Little Pudding very much resembled Su Hongxing, every time he saw Little Pudding, it was like witnessing Su Hongxing’s childhood, a feeling that was indescribable.
Of course, there was another very important reason - he wasn’t comfortable leaving his daughter with someone else; it felt safer to have her by his side.
"How about she comes to work with me in the future?" Su Hongxing worried Little Pudding might affect Ye Qilan’s work.
"It’s completely unnecessary; I enjoy bringing my daughter to work." Seeing Su Hongxing struggling to hold Little Pudding, Ye Qilan took her from Su Hongxing’s arms: "Let’s go, let’s eat."
The three of them went to the reserved restaurant, and as soon as they entered, they felt the strange gazes from the other guests.
Su Hongxing didn’t take it to heart, but Ye Qilan sensed the attention wasn’t well-intentioned; had something happened?
He had been in meetings earlier, and once Su Hongxing arrived, they went straight to the restaurant, with no time to check other things.
He took out his phone, opened the webpage, and found himself on the entertainment headlines. The photo obviously depicted Du Qingyu trying to forcibly kiss him last night.
Interestingly, there were so many people present at the time, including Su Hongxing right next to him, yet only he and Du Qingyu were captured, becoming the focus of the camera.
Su Hongxing noticed Ye Qilan’s unusual expression, took his phone for a look, and her eyes froze: "Quite a coincidence!"
The coincidence was so astonishing; such tricky photography skills weren’t something just anyone could manage.
The comments under the entertainment headline were unbearable, with many people questioning her marriage with Ye Qilan hitting rocks again, leading to Ye Qilan brazenly cheating. Some even predicted she would soon become a discarded wife.
"I will have someone deal with these news stories; you eat with our daughter first." Ye Qilan said, getting up and exiting the private room, asking Xiaohe to find a PR team to handle this scandal.
Before the rumors were dealt with, Du Qingyu unexpectedly accepted an interview with a mainstream media outlet, tearfully expressing her emotions for Ye Qilan.
Du Qingyu’s statements even suggested rekindled old feelings with Ye Qilan, claiming that if not for Su Hongxing’s interference, she would already be Madam Ye.
As Du Qingyu’s interview news was broadcast, it naturally stirred up waves. Many netizens maliciously speculated that Ye Qilan had been involved with Du Qingyu even before marrying Su Hongxing.
It implied Ye Qilan was two-timing back then, dating both Du Qingyu and Su Hongxing at the same time.
Moreover, Ye Qilan once had a very flirty past, known for his romantic escapades; dating several women simultaneously was common.
Even if he fell back into his old playboy ways, it wouldn’t be unexpected and was entirely understandable.
Ye Qilan browsed the news again, then called Xiaohe for detailed instructions.
