Chapter 249: You Still Look Better When You Don’t Smilei

“I told you grandma would be fine, but you didn’t believe me. Now you can sleep easy tonight,” Ye Qilan’s large hand wrapped around Su Hongxing’s waist. “It’s getting late. Let’s go home and rest. You don’t have to worry about grandma. I’ve arranged for several special nurses to take turns watching her. We’ll be notified immediately if anything comes up…”

Su Hongxing grabbed his hand and moved it away from her waist, making an excuse: “It’s too hot, don’t stay so close!”

Ye Qilan pulled back his hand, looking at her with a faint smile but didn’t say much.

They left the hospital one after the other, got into the car, with Bai Chen still the driver.

The two returned to the villa in silence.

Ye Ling and Cao Shiyu were still awake. When they knew that Ye Qilan was coming back tonight, they had been waiting in the living room for several hours.

Hearing familiar footsteps, Ye Ling and Cao Shiyu got up at the same time, greeted him cheerily.

“Brother Ye!” Ye Ling and Cao Shiyu said simultaneously.

Ye Qilan’s harmless gaze swept over their faces. At this moment, both Ye Ling and Cao Shiyu felt as if they were being watched by a venomous snake.

“You’re tired, go to bed early tonight,” Ye Qilan said indifferently to Ye Ling and Cao Shiyu, then said softly to Su Hongxing as if no one else existed.

Ignorant of the resentful looks from Ye Ling and Cao Shiyu, Su Hongxing went upstairs with Ye Qilan.

Ye Qilan led her into the master bedroom, prepared her a bath, even added essential oils to the water to help relieve fatigue, and took out her pajamas.

Su Hongxing was just standing at the bathroom door, staring at Ye Qilan’s series of actions in a daze.

After Ye Qilan finished preparing the bath, he pushed Su Hongxing into the bathroom and asked, “Do you want me to help you take a bath?”

Coming back to her senses, Su Hongxing hurriedly pushed Ye Qilan out of the bathroom.

Seeing her lock the door, Ye Qilan looked at the bathroom door for a moment, then left the master bedroom and went downstairs…

In the living room, Ye Ling was asking Cao Shiyu, “Did you find Brother Ye’s look scary just now? His gaze made me dare not to breathe.”

Cao Shiyu had the same feeling. Ye Qilan had never been a pleasant person, and after this business trip, he seemed even more unapproachable.

She wasn’t sure if it was just her imagination, but whenever Ye Qilan looked at her, his gaze felt abyssal.

“Don’t worry, Shiyu. I’ll help you deal with Su Hongxing. Ye won’t be with her all the time. As long as he’s not around, I’ll make Su Hongxing pay…”

Cao Shiyu was about to respond when she suddenly felt a pressure behind her.

She turned around quickly only to find Ye Qilan had somehow silently come up behind them. Did he hear what they were talking about?

“Why haven’t you gone to bed yet? It’s late,” Ye Qilan said indifferently.

Cao Shiyu responded with a sweet smile, and sure enough, Ye Qilan’s gaze became fixed on her smile.

Just as she was gloating inside thinking Ye Qilan seemed unable to resist her smile,

Ye Qilan said in a flat tone: “You’re better off when you’re not smiling.”

Cao Shiyu’s smile froze on her face. Ye Ling also found it strange, “Isn’t Brother Ye the one who loves to see people smile the most?”

Ye Qilan didn’t confirm or deny, “It depends on who the person is. Some people have beautiful smiles, and others are simply nauseating.”

Both Cao Shiyu and Ye Ling were silent, unsure of how to respond.

All of a sudden, Ye Qilan said, “Remember to lockyour room when you go to sleep. The world is dangerous these days, burglars might appear anytime.”
