Ye Qilan was oblivious to Sheng Yalun’s feelings for Su Hongxing. He revealed the backstory of Cao Shiyu and shared his own heart’s troubles with Sheng Yalun.

After listening, Sheng Yalun fell silent for a moment before saying, “Perhaps it’s because you’re not familiar with Miss Cao, that’s why you’re uncomfortable. Since you like Miss Cao and have a new love, what do you plan to do with Su Hongxing?”

He didn’t hold any expectations for Ye Qilan’s answer, for he knew Ye Qilan all too well.

Ye Qilan’s rich past experiences have cultivated in him a reprehensible habit of wanting to have it all.

The sole difference being, all his past lovers, despite knowing that Ye Qilan had many women, were still willing to stay by his side, contented with a nameless, undefined relationship with Ye Qilan.

However, Su Hongxing was a woman of principles. What she loathed most were fickle-minded men, and Ye Qilan was the most philandering and loose lover in history. Even though his philandering ways were part and parcel of him,

but a philanderer is still a philanderer. Consequently, Ye Qilan was destined never to be the type of man Su Hongxing wanted to entrust her life to.

“Hongxing is still my wife, Shiyu could be my mistress,” Ye Qilan replied nonchalantly.

Sheng Yalun sighed in resignation; it was as he had expected.

“What if Miss Cao only wishes to be your wife? Where would Su Hongxing stand then?” Sheng Yalun pursued.

Ye Qilan had never considered this: “Such a thing wouldn’t happen.”

“Who can predict the future? We live in a lawful society where monogamy is the rule. Unless you plan on keeping a mistress on the side, and Miss Cao is willing to be your secret mistress. Qilan, I advise you to start thinking about this now. Now that 1 think about it, Cao Shiyu is the apple of the Cao family’s eye, and she has a great reputation in the circle. Given her status, it’s impossible for her to play the role of your secret mistress. If you want to win Miss Cao, you must inevitably make Su Hongxing give up her position as your wife.”

Sheng Yalun was merely stating the facts.

For the first time, Ye Qilan didn’t want to continue listening to Sheng Yalun. After hanging up the phone, he leaned back in his chair, deep in thought.

Could the Cao family that Sheng Yalun mentioned be the same well-known Caos of Taicheng?

The Cao family and the Ye family shared similar family traits, both were established in politics and business. Some of the Caos were politicians, and others businessmen, excelling in both areas.

Even Beichuan mentioned more than once that Cao Shiyu came from a distinguished family, which could be beneficial for his career.

But he already had a legitimate wife.

Su Hongxing was different, she was not like any other woman. He was very fond of her, and enjoyed her being his wife.

Similarly, he also craved for unrivaled power. If he married Cao Shiyu, it would greatly benefit his career. Plus, Cao Shiyu was also much to his liking…

Ye Qilan contemplated and weighed his options in his study for half a day, yet he remained undecided.

To him, women were more or less optional, yet it was this one Su Hongxing, that posed a dilemma.

As Su Hongxing came out of the bathroom, she saw Ye Qilan seated on the edge of the bed, his eyes faintly sullen, lost in thought.

It seemed that the conversation between Ye Qilan and Sheng Yalun wasn’t pleasant, otherwise Ye Qilan wouldn’t have stayed in his study for such a long time.

“Come here!” Ye Qilan beckoned Su Hongxing.

Su Hongxing walked to the bedside, where with a tug, Ye Qilan pulled her down to sit on the edge of the bed. He picked up the hairdryer and helped blow dry her hair..
