Chapter 472: Chapter 472: Ye Qilan has a girlfriend now…_1
“Su Hongxing kept looking over her shoulder as she walked, afraid that Ye Qilan would suddenly appear again.
She had no idea what kind of game Ye Qilan was playing, but she was feeling uneasy all the same.
As she returned home from shopping, she even contemplated whether Ye Qilan would suddenly become her neighbour.
So, she peeked left and right before unlocking her door, appearing rather suspicious.
Of course, in the end, she was just overthinking things. Ye Qilan did not jump out to scare her.
That night, Su Hongxing didn’t sleep well.
She felt like she was being targeted by Ye Qilan on one hand, and on the other hand, she thought she was being overly sensitive.
Ye Qilan was now successful in his career, why would he continue thinking about a woman as wicked as her?
The next morning, before she even decided whether to withdraw from the bidding, she saw that Ye Qilan was in the gossip headlines.
His face wasn’t clearly captured, but the woman with him was so famous, it was the hottest superstar of the moment, Wen Lan. Rumour has it, Wen Lan comes from a distinguished family, plus she’s beautiful and talented, praised throughout the industry and has never been associated with any man in the five years since her debut.
This was the first time she was involved in gossip, and the subject was no other than the Chairman of Lugang Industry.
All along, everyone thought the Chairman of Lugang was an old geezer, but when a side-profile photo of Ye Qilan surfaced, it caused a collective uproar.
Wen Lan was surrounded by entertainment reporters this morning, who conducted a brief interview where she claimed to have known Ye Qilan for many years, and they are good friends…
Then, people dug up information about Ye Qilan’s identity, and netizens extensively excavated his romantic history, including the scandal three years ago where he was accused of drug use by Su Hongxing at a wedding.
In short, as soon as rumors about Ye Qilan and Wen Lan emerged, they made waves. Even the long-forgotten Su Hongxing was being talked about, and an old picture of her when she was chubby was also leaked.
For the first time, Su Hongxing felt confident in her decision to lose weight, so she wouldn’t fear being egged when walking on the streets.
She reasoned, since Ye Qilan had a girlfriend now, it meant he had moved on from the past, and she no longer needed to worry about Ye Qilan pestering her.
After all, Ye Qilan was a proud man. It was just her overthinking that made her believe Ye Qilan was deliberately trying to bump into her.
Su Hongxing decided to prioritize the bigger picture and showed up at the Lugang’s office building in heavy makeup.
“Miss Mu, good morning!” Su Hongxing heard Li Yan greeting her as soon as she entered the company’s front door.
She turned around, not surprised in the slightest to see Ye Qilan standing next to Li Yan.
This time, she had prepared herself mentally and greeted back politely, “Morning!”
“I am relieved to see you, Miss Mu. The boss was saying yesterday that it would be a pity if Ace Design withdrew from the bidding.” Li Yan said.
Su Hongxing didn’t want to walk with Ye Qilan, but Li Yan kept talking incessantly. Out of politeness, she went along with the conversation and unknowingly followed them into the elevator.
By the time she noticed something was not right and tried to get out of the elevator, Li Yan had already hit the close button.
Inside the elevator, only Su Hongxing and Ye Qilan remained. She began to feel nervous again. Why did she feel like she’s walking into a trap?
But in reality, she was overthinking again. Ye Qilan did not even glance at her nor said a word. He acted as if she was not there at all until they exited the elevator.
The elevator doors opened, a stylishly dressed Wen Lan, stood elegantly, holding a breakfast box by the elevator door, smiling brightly at Ye Qilan: “Brother Si, surprise! I came to deliver you breakfast. I made this early in the morning. It’s filled with love.”
