Chapter 975: Chapter 975: Carrying Another Man’s Bastard (5) Chapter 975: Chapter 975: Carrying Another Man’s Bastard (5) Fu Yan saw that Ye Qilan’s reaction was indifferent and felt a bit surprised. Did Ye Qilan no longer like Su Hongxing?

Despite his doubts, Fu Yan dared not say too much.

If Ye Qilan could treat Su Hongxing coldly for a while and dampen her arrogance, that might actually be a good thing.

Su Hongxing was too haughty, having Ye Qilan wrapped around her finger, and that was not a good sign.

That day, it wasn’t even five o’clock yet when Ye Qilan left the office and headed home to Qingmu Garden.

As soon as Age entered the living room, he began searching for Su Hongxing’s whereabouts. “How odd, why isn’t Miss Su in sight?”

Hadn’t she come home early?

He knew that although Ye Qilan didn’t say it, his leaving work early today was because Su Hongxing had returned to Qingmu Garden in the morning.

After Age questioned the servants carefully, he learned that Su Hongxing had not returned to Qingmu Garden, which made him look quite upset.

Ye Qilan was even more so, speaking in a deep voice, “Are you sure she hasn’t come home?”

All the servants shook their heads in unison, indicating that they hadn’t seen Su Hongxing.

The frown on Ye Qilan’s brow tightened as he made a call to Fu Yan.

Fu Yan was also anxious, as he had not made himself clear to Ye Qilan, not knowing whether Ye Qilan had failed to understand his intentions or wanted to deliberately ignore Su Hongxing.

Just then, Ye Qilan’s call came in, and sensing something was wrong, Fu Yan cautiously replied, “Fourth Brother, what’s up?”

“Didn’t you say Amou left work early?!” Ye Qilan demanded sternly. “Why isn’t Amou’s figure to be found at home? Are you sure she went home?”

“Fourth Brother, it’s like this, the fourth sister-in-law might have gone to her own house,” Fu Yan said, barely daring to breathe.

“What do you mean?!” Ye Qilan gripped his phone tightly.

Was Fu Yan suggesting that Su Hongxing had run away from home?

“The fourth sister-in-law seemed to be in a bad mood and said she wanted to stay at her home. Fourth Brother, don’t worry, Xiaohe and her people are protecting the fourth sister-in-law, there won’t be any problems…” Fu Yan hadn’t finished his sentence when Ye Qilan hung up the phone.

Holding his phone, Ye Qilan’s expression turned grim. Age, seeing this, became worried.

Ye Qilan’s mood had been erratic lately, each joy and each anger tied inextricably to Su Hongxing.

Today Su Hongxing had actually played the card of running away from home; wasn’t this adding fuel to the fire?

“Sir, should we bring Miss Su back home?” Age didn’t dare to decide on his own and cautiously watched Ye Qilan’s expression.

Ye Qilan shook his head. “As long as she’s happy. Assign our best bodyguard to ensure her safety, and if anything unusual happens, report to me immediately.”

Age got the hint and personally picked some people to send to Su Hongxing’s side.

Little Pudding, seeing Ye Qilan’s brow twisted into knots, innocently asked, “Daddy, did Mommy run away from home?”

Ye Qilan didn’t know how to respond and simply set Little Pudding down, letting her play by herself.

Little Pudding, sitting amidst her toys, sly beyond her years, said to the old lady Jiang, “Tai Laolao, Mommy doesn’t want Daddy anymore. Daddy is so pitiful.”

“Children shouldn’t butt into adults’ matters,” old lady Jiang scolded.

Little Pudding pouted, “But I’m more pitiful, without Mommy’s love, and without Daddy’s love either.”

The baby, accustomed to being surrounded by love, suddenly felt unease at being abandoned by her own mother and father.

Old lady Jiang didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, tugging at the little tyke’s braid, “Only you know how to act so spoiled.”

This child, how was she so endearing? Even she, a worldly old woman, was utterly charmed by the little one.

When Su Hongxing returned to her own home, she took a nap, only to be awakened by her ringing phone.

“Ye Shiqing?” She saw the incoming call alert and felt somewhat surprised.
