“But you can only marry one woman, and I thought it would be me,” Yan Zi choked out.

After Ye Qilan finished rinsing his mouth, he glanced lightly at Yan Zi who was in a low mood: “You can find another man.”

With that, he left the bathroom.

However, Yan Zi tightly hugged him from behind: “I don’t want to. I only like Brother Qilan. Can’t we just ditch that ugly woman Su Hongxing? She’s not adorable at all, she never smiles, and she’s ugly. Why does Brother Qilan want to marry her?”

Ye Qilan liked women who were smiling and had pleasant appearances, Su Hongxing didn’t have these traits at all, and this baffled Yan Zi.

Ye Qilan pried Yan Zi’s hand off him and elegantly moved away.

The reason why Su Hongxing stood out among the five candidates was because her name caught his eye.

He didn’t even need to check if the other women looked good based on his standards, he had already decided his wife would be Su Hongxing.

Yan Zi knew she couldn’t cling to Ye Qilan anymore, so she set her sights on Su Hongxing.

She was a spoiled girl who got whatever she wanted. Yet there was one thing she could never have, and that was Ye Qilan.

If Su Hongxing had the guts to marry Ye Qilan, she would make her know that getting Ye Qilan came with a price.

After leaving the Ye Family’s house, Yan Zi called Su Hongxing and asked her to go out, claiming she had something to say to her.

Su Hongxing directly hung up in response.

Yan Zi was so upset that she felt a heat in her eyes, she dialed again: “Su Hongxing, come out! Are you scared of me, is that why you don’t dare meet me?!”

“Do you want to have someone beat me up, or are you looking for a man to try to harm me?” Su Hongxing retorted.

Yan Zi was taken aback as she had prepared both plans.

As long as Su Hongxing came out, she would show this woman what she was capable of.

Who knew that before she could make her move, the ugly witch Su Hongxing saw through her intentions.

Once again, Su Hongxing was the one who hung up first.

“I heard you wanted to harm Su Hongxing?!” Ye Qilan’s voice suddenly echoed behind her.

Yan Zi was greatly startled, she turned around to face Ye Qilan and chuckled nervously, “No, no such thing.”

“Ten minutes ago 1 received a call from Heizi, those guys you hired, they work under him,” Ye Qilan slowly approached Yan Zi.

His expression was still mild, his eyes harmless, but Yan Zi felt a chill seep from the palms of her hands all the way into her heart.

“Brother Qilan, I was just kidding, I didn’t really mean to harm Su Hongxing…”

Before Yan Zi could finish speaking, Ye Qilan’s men took her into a car.

Forty minutes later, she was taken to the top of an unfinished building.

Half her body hanging over the edge, all it would take was for the two men holding her to let go, and she would fall from this height.

Yan Zi had never faced such a situation before, she began to cry hysterically, her tears ruining her carefully-applied makeup: “Brother Qilan, I was wrong, I won’t do it again. I’m, I’m scared…” n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She was afraid of dying, more so of falling and becoming disabled.

How could Ye Qilan be so cruel? Didn’t they have a bond, having grown up together since childhood?

Why was he trying to make her hate him this way?!

Ye Qilan slowly walked up to Yan Zi, tall and poised, radiating harmless elegance.

He glanced at Yan Zi, who was trembling in fear, as his cold lips softly parted: “Did you know, only the dead cannot lie, and they certainly can’t do any harm..”
