Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: Making an Entrance with Style, The Good Do Not Arrive (8) Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: Making an Entrance with Style, The Good Do Not Arrive (8) Qiao Qiao didn’t want to cause trouble and readily agreed, intending to take Ye Xiandong away from the banquet hall.
Ye Shiqing suddenly spoke up, “Today is the Ye Family’s family dinner, and all mbers of the Ye Family must not be absent or leave early; this is Grandfather’s order.”
His gaze swept over Qiao Qiao as if unintentionally, and Qiao Qiao averted her eyes, looking towards Su Hongxing.
Su Hongxing shook her head at Qiao Qiao, signaling her not to provoke Ye Shiqing at this mont.
From what she saw, Ye Shiqing was also a man who acted without considering the consequences. Judging by how Ye Shiqing had just tried to get close to Qiao Qiao in front of everyone, it was better not to infuriate him.
Qiao Qiao didn’t make a sound and simply pushed Ye Xiandong toward a secluded corner.
Ye Shiqing, seeing this, also wanted to follow, but was blocked by Su Hongxing.
Her face was smiling, yet she warned in a low voice, “Don’t forget your own status; many people here are watching your every move. For Xiaoqiao’s sake, you can’t push her to the forefront at this ti.”
Ye Shiqing looked in the direction where Qiao Qiao had left, wordless, and turned to walk towards Ye Qilan.
He approached Ye Qilan and said, “Su Hongxing is becoming more and more annoying!”
Yet, what Su Hongxing said was true. Even if he didn’t care about his own reputation, Qiao Qiao was a woman; she couldn’t withstand being the subject of gossip and slander—he couldn’t be that selfish.
“Our Amou is getting cuter and cuter,” Ye Qilan ntioned Su Hongxing, with an undeniable affection that he couldn’t hide.
Ye Shiqing felt a tightness in his chest upon seeing Ye Qilan like this and glanced at the array of won at the banquet.
Qiao Qiao wasn’t even that special; there were plenty of won more beautiful than her, and she wasn’t particularly charming or romantic. So why, out of all these won, could he only have eyes for her?
anwhile, Qiao Qiao had pushed Ye Xiandong to a remote spot, and the always silent Ye Xiandong suddenly said in a deep voice, “Xiaoqiao, I will stand up!”
He could not be outdone by Ye Shiqing, nor could he let Ye Shiqing take Qiao Qiao away. Just a mont ago, he had actually feared Qiao Qiao would leave with Ye Shiqing.
He, who had never understood what fear was, had felt it firsthand in that mont.
“If you could stand up, that would be good,” Qiao Qiao replied indifferently.
Whether Ye Xiandong could stand up or not actually had nothing to do with her. Her staying by Ye Xiandong’s side was just a temporary asure. Whether he was good or bad, it couldn’t affect her in the slightest.
Seeing Qiao Qiao’s indifferent expression, Ye Xiandong’s heart kept sinking. When she loved him, her various expressions, whether sad or distressed, were all because of him.
Now, there was no place for him in her heart. To her, perhaps he was just an insignificant person?
Over this period of ti, he discovered that he had no friends he could truly trust. The won who had been in his bed also distanced themselves from him.
No one had lent him a hand in his ti of need, and the one who ended up staying was the wife he had neglected. Only now, although she stayed by his side, her heart had drifted far away.
Elder Ye had also noticed Ye Shiqing’s slip of composure, and fortunately, Su Hongxing had intervened in ti; otherwise, the Ye Family might have faced another scandal.
Years ago, the scandal between Ye Zheng and Lin Zhi had once plunged the Ye Family into difficulty; he could not allow such a scandal to happen again.
While Elder Ye was feeling conflicted, a commotion suddenly arose at the entrance.
When he saw the man and woman standing under the spotlight, Elder Ye’s face turned white, and he looked in disbelief at the elegant man.
