Chapter 386: It’s Him Who Set the Trap_1

Neither Beichuan nor Ye Qilan could match up to Su Hongxing.

Su Hongxing smiled but didn’t say a word.

Beichuan smirked bitterly. “From the moment I awakened by that woman’s side, I knew I was done. I couldn’t keep my promises to you.”

Such a Beichuan would inevitably be repulsive to Su Hongxing, a fact that could never be changed.

“Just be yourself! I think it suits you to be a charming and irresponsible playboy, enjoying the flowers without being attached.”

In an attempt to lighten the mood, Su Hongxing showed Beichuan the half-knitted baby clothes she held in her hands. “Are they nice?”

“Nice,” Beichuan said, his heart heavy and unable to force a smile.

He felt as though he had completely lost his qualification to stay close to her.

Though he was not sure if his feelings for Su Hongxing were true love, he was certain that she was the first woman he had liked, and the first woman who had made him want to settle down, but he had not seized the opportunity.

His willpower was too weak, and the slightest temptation could lead him astray.

A woman like Su Hongxing surely wouldn’t want a husband who could potentially be unfaithful at any given moment.

Before leaving, Beichuan said, “Su Su, if you want to sabotage Qilan’s engagement banquet this time, I can help you. I’m quite experienced in meddling with bad marriages.”

But Su Hongxing only smiled, shaking her head. She saw him off to his car, and even escorted him to the front door.

Even when his sports car was a fair distance away, he could still see Su Hongxing standing there, waving at him. He felt as if she was bidding him farewell.

Not until he could no longer see Su Hongxing’s figure did he pump the brakes, repeatedly banging his fists against the steering wheel…

Beichuan found Ye Qilan at The Red House, kicked the door open with all his might, walked straight up to him and slapped him. “Ye Qilan, you are despicable!”

The morning he woke up, the woman revealed that she was instructed by Ye Qilan to seduce him.

The scandalous photos circulating were also arranged by Ye Qilan, purely to show Su Hongxing that he was messing around outside.

Furious, Beichuan had immediately called Ye Qilan and angrily cursed him over the phone.

After Beichuan finished venting, Ye Qilan only responded that he could never be the man Su Hongxing wanted.

That single sentence was enough to crush his resolve, and so he fled abroad in haste.

Ye Qilan did not counter-attack, allowing Beichuan to vent his frustration.

Only when Beichuan stopped, out of breath, did Ye Qilan finally say, “I was only exposing your true nature. You didn’t even need to be drugged; any woman with a decent figure and pretty face could easily seduce you.”

Beichuan clenched his fists and opened them again, realizing that Ye Qilan knew him all too well.

He had always been the type of man who could easily be distracted, and it was probably beyond saving.

“If Su Hongxing married you, you would still fool around outside. Beichuan, stop causing her trouble.” Ye Qilan patted Beichuan’s shoulder lightly and turned to walk inside.

Watching his retreating figure, Beichuan sneered, “You’re right, I won’t cause her trouble anymore. There aren’t many good women in this world, and ones like Su Su are even rarer. Ye Qilan, you had a chance, but you pushed her away yourself. I can assure you, you’ll regret it. There won’t be a second Su Hongxing in this world.”

Indeed, there will never be another.

He missed Su Hongxing because he lacked self-control, a weakness pointed out by Ye Qilan.

Ye Qilan missed Su Hongxing due to his presumption, due to his own doing.
