Chapter 463: 463: Trapped in the Bathroom by Ye Si..._1

“Are you really with Beichuan?” The man asked, his tone bitter with jealousy.

When did Beichuan become so lucky, end up with a beauty like her, so innocent yet enticingly seductive? This woman had an aura of purity and allure, truly an irresistible temptation.

“Of course, he’s now with Fu Yan at Hongxing Pavilion. I’m on my way to find him!” Su Hongxing replied with a determined face and a firm voice.

The mention of Fu Yan’s name subdued the two overzealous men.

After all, they had heard rumours earlier that day about Beichuan bringing a stunning girl to The Red House for enjoyment. Now that Beichuan was reportedly in the Hongxing Pavilion, this woman’s story checked out.

Finally, Su Hongxing got rid of the two men, breathing a sigh of relief.

The Red House was filled with men hungry for excitement and allure. It would be wise to leave as soon as possible.

She was about to head for the exit when she saw Ye Qilan coming towards her. They were separated by nearly ten meters, yet their eyes met in mid-air.

The moment their eyes met, Su Hongxing’s mind went blank, and only one thought echoed through her mind – run!

And that was precisely what she did; she turned on her heels and sprinted back the way she came.

But the sound of footsteps echoing her own seemed to engrave itself onto her soul with every step.

Her pace was erratic, her heart filled with fear as she blindly charged forward.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

She had made up her mind. She wanted to avoid crossing paths with Ye Qilan in this lifetime. The peaceful life that she had acquired with great difficulty mustn’t be disrupted by Ye Qilan.

Soon, she reached a dead-end — a restroom to hide in.

Without any second thoughts, Su Hongxing dashed into the women’s restroom.

Her mind was in chaos at this point. She couldn’t help but wonder, did Ye Qilan recognize her?

If he did, why was his expression so indifferent?

If he didn’t, why was he following her?

He was following her, right? She could tell by the familiar sound of footsteps that it was Ye Qilan.

If he recognized her, running away would be futile, wouldn’t it?

She might as well confront him and see what he wanted, instead of torturing herself with these wild thoughts.

At that moment, the sound of a man’s footsteps reached the restroom entrance.

Su Hongxing inhaled deeply, fixating her gaze on the door. The first thing that caught her sight was a pair of glossy black leather shoes, followed by Ye Qilan’s long legs, and then his face.

The straight nose, deep-set eyes, and thin lips, it was that same strikingly handsome face.

Compared to three years ago, Ye Qilan didn’t seem to have changed much.

But upon a closer look, his aura had changed.

Ye Qilan was more mature and steady, more domineering. He was standing at the entrance, but it felt like he owned the whole restroom.

While Su Hongxing was sizing up Ye Qilan, Ye Qilan had already taken in her appearance from head to toe.

Su Hongxing felt as if her clothes were being peeled off one by one under Ye Qilan’s gaze. Although there was nothing vulgar about his gaze, she couldn’t shake off a feeling of being seen through.

“Are you new to The Red House for PR?” Ye Qilan enquired softly, taking steps towards her while Su Hongxing was in turmoil.

Su Hongxing was taken aback as she glanced at her own ridiculous school uniform.

Did his question imply that he didn’t recognize her?

While Su Hongxing was considering how to respond, Ye Qilan suddenly lifted her chin to examine her from all angles.

Her eyes flitted around, her heart pounding with guilt. She blurted out, “Yes.”
