The air was stagnant, and silence prevailed in the room.

Just as Ye Qilan thought that Su Hongxing would not give him an answer, Su Hongxing suddenly flashed a toothy smile at him.

Ye Qilan was stunned. He stared intensively at Su Hongxing’s blooming smile, uncomfortably clutching his chest, finding his heart beating rapidly as if it were about to escape his body at any moment.

This unfamiliar sensation made him feel uneasy. The inability to control this feeling left him flustered. He admonished in a deep voice, “Don’t smile!”

Su Hongxing suppressed her laughter: “Are you sure you want me to be your mistress?”

She wouldn’t make for a committed mistress as she had never learned how to be one growing up. If Ye Qilan insisted on this, she didn’t know what unexpected things she might do.

Ye Qilan’s original plan was to divorce Su Hongxing, but since he still loved her, he wanted to keep her by his side.

Nevertheless, at the moment Su Hongxing laughed just now, he was uncertain whether this was the right thing to do.

Su Hongxing was not blindly devoted to him like other women. Keeping her by his side might be like harboring a ticking time bomb, prone to explode at any time.

Nothing in his life had ever made him feel out of control, but just now, he had lost control of both his body and heart.

This strange feeling was too eerie, eerily enough to make his heart tremble.

Su Hongxing also noticed Ye Qilan’s hesitation, which she found amusing. “Ye Qilan, the authority to decide whether or not I become your mistress is in your hands. I’ll follow your lead. Let’s sort out the important matter of divorce first. There is a divorce agreement signed by me at Cao Shiyu’s place. If that is too much hassle for you, you can prepare one for me now. It will be easier for us both to sign here.”

She used to think that it would be hard for any decent person to accept the downgrade from wife to mistress.

Now, she felt that instead of fleeing, it would be more satisfying to stay and stir up Ye Qilan’s world.

She planned to show Ye Qilan that not every woman was suitable to be a mistress, and not every woman could be manipulated at his will.

Ye Qilan thought he could control everyone. She believed that overly ambitious people should pay the price!

Ye Qilan stared blankly at Su Hongxing. His discomfort just now had slowed his reaction. He gazed at Su Hongxing’s face for a long time before regaining his composure: “Are you sure you want to divorce without discussing the terms?”

This woman didn’t seem so easily convinced. Why did he feel that something was off?

“Okay, then can you give me ten million?” Su Hongxing asked following Ye Qilan’s direction.

Without any hesitation, Ye Qilan shook his head: “No!”

“Isn’t that settled then? Divorce is the priority. I have to make way for you and Cao Shiyu. Mr. Ye Qilan, isn’t it rare to find a woman as thoughtful as me?” After speaking, Su Hongxing went to the sofa to wait for Ye Qilan to bring the divorce agreement.

Ye Qilan watched Su Hongxing’s back for a long time, feeling that something was not right.

She shouldn’t be this calm, she shouldn’t agree so readily to be his mistress, and she certainly shouldn’t be throwing around the word “divorce” so casually.

There was a moment when he even hesitated to divorce her. Of course, it was just a brief moment.

Bai Chen soon returned with two lawyers.

Su Hongxing skimmed through the divorce agreement, confirmed that there was nothing improper, and readily signed her name..
