My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Being with him, you will only drag him down_l

As a special assistant, Bai Chen was helpless.

In Ye Qilan’s eyes and heart, it was all Su Hongxing now. A single smile from Su Hongxing might prompt Ye Qilan to willingly die for her.

The dinner tonight was crucial. The other party had finally agreed to meet, but Ye Qilan only wanted to accompany Su Hongxing home and handed over the task of attending the dinner to the vice president.

Upon seeing Bai Chen making several gestures at her, Su Hongxing advised: “Ye Si, work is also crucial. I will wait for you at home and won’t go anywhere. As soon as you finish your work, come back home. At worst, when the dinner is almost over, I’ll come to pick you up. Okay?”

Ye Qilan initially dismissed it, but hearing that Su Hongxing would come to pick him up intrigued him as it was a novel experience. He became interested: “Are you sure you’ll stay home and not go anywhere?”

“Aren’t you having someone watch over me? I can’t fly, where can I go?” Su Hongxing replied in a soft voice.

Ye Qilan agreed, and he and Bai Chen left the company first. But before leaving, he didn’t forget to urge Su Hongxing to come and pick him up.

Su Hongxing agreed readily, finally freeing herself from Ye Qilan.

Her driver dropped her off at the villa. As soon as she walked into the living room, Xiaole came up to her making gestures and whispered: “Master Ye is here, you’re on your own.”

Xiaole didn’t dare to say more, dropping this one line before hiding in the kitchen.

Su Hongxing walked slowly into the living room. Elder Ye, who was pacing the room, turned to find himself locked in gaze with Su Hongxing.

Having observed countless people, Elder Ye claimed he could determine a person’s character merely from their eyes.

The living room fell into a deathly silence.

Su Hongxing met Elder Ye’s gaze calmly. Their previous encounter at Ye Mansion had been brief without much interaction.

The old man in front of her had white hair, a face full of wrinkles, but looked spirited. His eyes, particularly, were sharp when fixed on someone, reflecting his authoritative past.

“Si’s taste has always been odd, but I didn’t expect it to be this odd.” Elder Ye tapped his cane: “Su Hongxing, come sit down.”

Su Hongxing sat down next to Elder Ye and respectfully poured him a cup of tea.

Elder Ye examined her tea-pouring posture, his gaze steady. This girl was decent, certainly better than the women Ye Si was involved with before, a little overweight but not repugnant.

However, the one destined to be Ye Si’s worthy spouse was definitely not this penniless orphan.

“I actually think his taste is excellent.” Su Hongxing replied in a soft voice, handing the tea cup to Elder Ye.

Elder Ye took the tea and took a sip, “Do you know why I’m here today?”

“You want me to leave Ye Si voluntarily?”

Elder Ye put down his tea cup, his cane echoing on the floor: “It seems you’re a smart girl, no wonder he likes you. Your flaw is your inferior birth, which doesn’t match Si’s. A man like Si is extraordinary, meant to stand out in life. You, being with him, will only hold him back.”

“I have to disagree. Apart from her family background, Cao Shiyu is not necessarily superior to me. As a pampered girl like Cao Shiyu, who only cares about love and affection, if one day the Cao Family falls, she will become a burden to Ye Si. I am different, even without a good family background, I can tough it out and weather the storm with Ye Si. At critical times, I will not hold Ye Si back. You probably don’t know yet, Ye Si’s emotional detachment syndrome was cured by me…”
