Su Hongxing didn’t take Cao Shiyu and Beichuan too seriously. Perhaps that was because she had a vague premonition about what was about to happen. If there were traces of their past lives to be found, the storyline that would unfold was likely to mirror the past.

Due to her mental preparedness, she remained relatively composed.

Her plan was to tread carefully and do everything possible to avoid repeating past tragedies, such as getting involved with Beichuan. It was best to avoid this if possible.

Of course, she understood that no one could change her destiny but her. What she needed to do was save herself, and not make the same mistakes again.

Throughout the entire afternoon, Su Hongxing kept busy with work while also contemplating how to get rid of the trouble that Beichuan posed.

As for Ye Qilan, after finishing his work, he finally had some time to develop a relationship with his new “toy”. However, their peaceful moment was short­lived. Beichuan appeared and wanted to take Cao Shiyu away with him.

Ye Qilan, unwilling to let Cao Shiyu go, held onto her hand tightly. Seeing this, Beichuan burst into laughter, “Sisi, this is my girlfriend, it’s none of your business. I’ve already let you play with her for an entire day, you aren’t thinking of taking her home with you, are you?”

That was exactly Ye Qilan’s intention.

He had been too busy with work and hadn’t had much time to get to know Cao Shiyu. Now that he had the chance, how could he let go?

“You can have anything you want, but Shiyu must be mine,” Ye Qilan set the terms.

Everything has its price. In his opinion, there was nothing in this world that he couldn’t buy, including women.

Beichuan smirked, his gaze flitting over where Su Hongxing was.

Ye Qilan noticed this and said pensively, “You cannot have Hongxing.”

Su Hongxing was unlike any other woman, although exactly how eluded him.

Beichuan wasn’t surprised at Ye Qilan’s reply.

Cao Shiyu, however, was displeased. She was the only child in her family, pampered and cherished. There was nothing she wanted but couldn’t have, including men.

Men were attracted to her beauty and her family background. With just a flick of her finger, they would fall for her without hesitation.

At this moment, however, she was being juxtaposed with a woman like Su Hongxing, who was of no significance, and being negotiated as if she were a commodity. This left her feeling uncomfortable.

What was more, Ye Qilan wanted both her and Su Hongxing. How was this fair?

She felt utterly humiliated to be compared to Su Hongxing.

“Shiyu is my girlfriend after all, so I can’t just let her go home with you. If you really can’t bear to part with her, how about this? We can go to The Red House and you will have more time to spend with Shiyu. I’m a good friend, right?”

As he said this, Beichuan went over to Su Hongxing, “Su-su, you should come too. Shiyu is accompanying Sisi, since he took away my girlfriend, you should keep me company and help kill the boredom.”

Su Hongxing spoke without lifting her head, “I haven’t finished my work. You guys go have fun.”

She had no intention of getting herself entangled in this messy situation. Besides, as a free individual, she had no obligation to partake in any dubious games with men.

“Work never ends. Plus, having Sisi as your supporter, what are you afraid of?” Beichuan looked at Ye Qilan, raising his voice, “Boss Ye, can you say something?”

Ye Qilan cast a glance at Cao Shiyu, then Su Hongxing. He couldn’t bear to lose either of them.

In the end, he conceded that Beichuan had a point, “It’s off work hours now, Hongxing, you should come along too.”
