"At least you know your place." Ye Qilan agreed with her reasoning. He found it laughable that Su Hongxing, a powerless and penniless woman, would even attempt to compete with him.
At that moment, Ye Qilan felt that he had been overly suspicious.
Even if Su Hongxing did indeed harbor intentions to outmaneuver him, she simply wouldn't be able to achieve her goal.
After dispelling Ye Qilan's doubts, Su Hongxing's attention was drawn to Xiao Ji, who stood outside the villa.
If she doesn't go out and meet him, given Xiao Ji's stubbornness, he might ring the doorbell all night. It would be better to step outside and dismiss him once and for all.
Besides, she would be able to gauge Ye Qilan's reaction. Why not?
Having made up her mind, she was about to leave when Ye Qilan grabbed her arm and eyed her coldly, "What are you up to?"
"I'm just going to chat with Xiao Ji for a bit and then I will be back." Su Hongxing brushed off Ye Qilan's hand.
