Chapter 346: Chapter 346: Troubles Linked by Blood and Bone_1

Ye Qilan looked at Su Hongxing’s embarrassment, chuckling in a deep voice: “Won’t speak up, huh? If it’s good news, feel free to let it out — it’s more fun to share joy, don’t you think?”

He knew there was something wrong with this woman, and this trial had indeed revealed the truth.

Su Hongxing nestled in Ye Qilan’s arms, mumbling: “Give me a little more time, let me think. When I figure it out, I’ll naturally tell you.”

Ye Qilan hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided to back off: “Okay, I’ll give you one more hour to think. Remember, just one hour. I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer afterward! You should know, I’m not a patient man.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Hongxing quickly slipped out of his embrace, swiftly distancing herself.

He slowly followed, only to see Su Hongxing rushing to the second floor at such a speed that it left him feeling a tad worried.

Liu Qingyin came out of the kitchen, also witnessing this scene, she stood beside Ye Qilan and asked: “Have you done something to my sister?”

Ye Qilan did not respond.

Liu Qingyin raised her voice: “Haven’t you bullied my sister enough? A man like you, you’re totally unworthy of my sister!”

Ye Qilan fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: “Did Su Hongxing hide something important from me?”

He turned his gaze to Liu Qingyin, noticing the sudden change in her complexion.

This confirmed his suspicions even further.

Su Hongxing was probably pregnant with his child. If it had been before, he would probably be very happy. After all, he had promised to give her a child, to make up for his owes to her.

But now, he was a bit hesitant.

If Su Hongxing really gave birth to his child, that woman might use the child for her own ends.

Especially since he had already planned to keep his distance from Su Hongxing, having a child together would complicate things. How would he draw a clear line with her then?

But this is his first child, he had been so looking forward to its arrival…

“What a joke, what important matter could my sister hide from you?!” Liu Qingyin’s face flashed with panic, she dared not face Ye Qilan directly.

Ye Qilan looked at Liu Qingyin for a while before finally speaking lightly: “Why are you panicking? I was just asking casually.”

After all, she was still a child. Even if she was smart and cunning, she would still panic when something big happened.

“I…I didn’t panic. Ex-brother-in-law, It’s true, my sister is totally transparent to you, she absolutely hasn’t hidden anything from you.” Liu Qingyin added hurriedly, seeming to protest too much.

Ye Qilan gave her a noncommittal smile, just looking at her without saying a word.

Liu Qingyin couldn’t help but lower her head, then as if she had just remembered something, she quickly said: “I…I’ll go check on my sister. Ex-brother-in-law, I’ll keep an eye on my sister for you. Give her some time and let me have a chat with her first.”

She ran upstairs as soon as she finished speaking.

Ye Qilan watched Liu Qingyin scramble up to the second floor, looking pensive.

Ye Ling had just finished freshening up. When she came downstairs, she was almost knocked over by Liu Qingyin.

To tell the truth, she didn’t like Su Hongxing and Liu Qingyin, they rubbed her the wrong way.

“Fourth brother, I just saw Liu Qingyin looking flustered. She must have done something wrong. Do you want me to go and scope out for you?” Ye Ling said obsequiously to Ye Qilan.

As Ye Qilan walked past Ye Ling, he slowed his pace: “Be more courteous to Su Hongxing in the future, I don’t want to see you throwing tantrums at her again.”

Ye Ling followed him, annoyed, and was about to speak when Ye Qilan turned back and looked at her, “Get lost!”
