Chapter 499: Chapter 499: I will ruthlessly eliminate anyone who prevents me from getting close to you_1

Su Hongxing shifted her gaze, taking the lead to walk in front of the blooming Apricot Forest.

Flowers were thriving on the branches, their white and pink petals entwined, gracefully unveiling themselves to the world. A slight breeze swept past, scattering tiny petals from the trees, which fluttered down and landed near her eyes and eyebrows.

She stood on the flower-strewn path in the forest, enveloped within a sea of romance, yet her heart was calm.

Ye Qilan was ultimately a man she had loved deeply in a former life. At times, he could easily touch her vulnerabilities.

During the beginning years of their marriage in that past life, he gave her apricot blossoms every day. But happiness was fleeting and time was ruthless, in the end, she found herself tragically separated from him in life and death.

“Ye Qilan, we can never have a future together. You should let go,” Su Hongxing broke the silence after a long while.

The enjoyment of the blossoms was over, just like a play had reached its end.

Ye Qilan lightly flicked her nose. She disliked his intimate actions. “Stop being touchy-feely…”

Swiftly, Ye Qilan planted a kiss on her lips.

She furrowed her brow, “Ye Qilan, aren’t you annoying…”

Ye Qilan kissed her again.

Su Hongxing thought it was impossible to have a normal conversation with this man.

“Every time you say something that pisses me off, I’ll kiss you once. If you really annoy me, I’ll sleep you to death!” Ye Qilan said, pulling Su Hongxing into his embrace.

He rubbed against her neck, “In this beautiful scenery, can we do without the disagreements?”

Su Hongxing pushed off the man that was on her neck, “The flowers are done, let’s go.”

What’s there to look at? They’re just flowers. You can buy them at the market too.

“There’s no rush.” Ye Qilan felt that Su Hongxing was truly unromantic.

Su Hongxing was forcefully held in Ye Qilan’s arms before her phone rang at the right moment.

She aggressively shoved away Ye Qilan. The caller was Cao Zhen.

“Did Ye Qilan do anything to you?” Cao Zhen sounded somewhat anxious.

He just finished a work meeting and found out that Ye Qilan had suddenly appeared and whisked Su Hongxing away.

Su Hongxing glanced at Ye Qilan who was standing silently, and softly responded, “No, dad, don’t worry.”

“Girl, I’m thinking of holding a matchmaking banquet for you to officially introduce you to everyone. This way, Ye Qilan will have to restrain himself and his arrogance can be curbed. What do you think?” Cao Zhen asked.

Both his beloved daughters fell into Ye Qilan’s hands, especially Su Hongxing, who was deeply hurt by him. He couldn’t accept a man like Ye Qilan being Su Hongxing’s husband.

“I can accept the matchmaking banquet, but there’s no need to go out of your way.” Su Hongxing was worried about interacting with the women from the Cao family again.

These peaceful years were what she dreamed of.

But with Ye Qilan persisting, she had to counteract. She couldn’t let him continue to push her around without the power to fight back.

“Your father knows where to draw the line, and you just be at ease”, Cao Zhen conversed a bit more before ending the call with an amused tone.

Su Hongxing turned around and saw Ye Qilan’s back, his figure seeming somewhat cold and lonley.

What is this act he’s playing? A sympathy card?

“Amou, if you want to play, I’ll be there till the end with you. But you should know, if you play with fire, I don’t know what I might do. I don’t even know my own limits; you’re welcome to try,” she said.

Ye Qilan’s voice was light, “The current Ye Qilan fears no one. I’ll ruthlessly get rid of anyone who tries to keep me from you, including Cao Zhen.”
