My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

Chapter 467: Chapter 467: Strike First to Gain the Upper Hand _1

Ye Qilan watched Su Hongxing’s sweet sleeping face for some time before he exited the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

The next day when Su Hongxing woke up again, she found herself alone in the presidential suite. As Ye Qilan had said, he left before her.

There was a note on the bedside table, with Ye Qilan’s bold and vigorous handwriting: Don’t leave until you’ve finished breakfast, don’t forget to leave your phone number.

His gilded business card was also left on the table.

After she freshened up, she saw breakfast on the dining table, still steaming. There was porridge, side dishes, buns and youtiao, as well as some Western-style breakfast options.

She ate a little, then finally left the presidential suite.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When she turned on her phone, she felt a bit guilty upon seeing the dozens of texts that Mo Li had sent to her.

As soon as she answered, Mo Li began to scold her: “Su Hongxing, do you know how worried I was? Your phone was off, and you weren’t in The Red House. I asked Fu Yan, but he said he didn’t know your whereabouts…”

“I know I was wrong. I’m safe, don’t worry, I’m fine.” Su Hongxing interrupted Mo Li.

Mo Li sighed lightly; it seemed like he’d never be able to be mad at Su Hongxing in this lifetime.

“Where did you go last night? You didn’t come home all night, and didn’t even bother to call me.” Mo Li asked.

He hadn’t slept all night, waiting in front of Su Hongxing’s house the entire time.

“I wasn’t feeling well, so I stayed at an Internet café all night.” Su Hongxing dared not mention Ye Qilan.

Mo Li didn’t know about her complicated relationship with Ye Qilan. If she brought him up, she’d have to spend a lot of time explaining.

It’s easier to not say anything at all.

Mo Li didn’t believe what Su Hongxing said. He was worried that Ye Qilan had taken her away last night.

But if Su Hongxing didn’t want to tell him, he couldn’t ask. He had no choice but to play dumb.

By the time Su Hongxing arrived at the office, Mo Li was standing at her desk with a stern face. She knew she wouldn’t be able to stroke him off easily.

The moment Mo Li saw Su Hongxing, the first thing he noticed was the dress on her.

It was the latest trend this year, a high-end hand-made piece. Su Hongxing herself didn’t know, but he understood the market trends.

Just as he suspected, she was with Ye Qilan last night.

“What’s wrong?” Su Hongxing looked at herself in her dress.

The dress looked a bit familiar; it couldn’t be a designer piece, could it? She hadn’t looked closely at it when she put it on, and now she felt a bit uncomfortable.

“Nothing. Just remember that this is a one-time thing. Free up your evening for me after work.” Mo Li reverted to his usually calm and gentlemanly demeanor.

It was the first time Su Hongxing had ever heard Mo Li speak to her in such a commanding way. She teased: “Just what is your plan for tonight? You’re quite the big shot.”

“Date!” With that, Mo Li headed back to his office.

Standing at her own desk, Su Hongxing wondered if she was hearing things.

She was going on a date with Mo Li?

Su Hongxing didn’t think too much about the date, since she was always busy at work. By the time she finished her day’s work and was still dealing with the paperwork, Mo Li came over to her and said, “You’ll never be done with work. It’s our date time now, let’s go.”

Su Hongxing laughed dryly, “What’s got into you?”

She wasn’t quite used to Mo Li’s dominant CEO attitude yet, it was quite sudden.

Not wanting to waste any more words with Su Hongxing, Mo Li directly led her out of the company.

The employees watched the two of them, whispering amongst each other. They’d always found the two of them a bit too close for comfort, yet there’d never been more intimate interactions between them.
