Chapter 542
She hadn’t expected to get home before Ye Junqing. This left Ye Xingguang feeling sullen. She placed the durian on the table, salivating at the sight of it.
Resisting the urge, she took a bath, washed her hair, put a face mask on, but still, Ye Junqing was yet to return. As she lay in bed tossing and turning, her thoughts kept returning to the durian in the living room. Eventually, her resistance crumbled under the allure of good food.
She got up, walked to the living room, and within seconds, she had sliced open the durian. She took a few chunks and carried them to her room to enjoy.
Han Chengbei sent a message: [Well, has the durian served its purpose?]
Ye Xingguang replied: [Everything has its uses.] It’s incredibly tasty.
Han Chengbei couldn’t believe it: [Did Ye Junqing actually surrender?]
Out of pride, Ye Xingguang said: [Of course, he had to when I demanded!]
Han Chengbei thought to himself: Bloody hell, is this true love? Suddenly, he found himself having a mouthful of lovelorn sentiment, one he didn’t want at all!
Feeling frustrated, Han Chengbei stopped replying, pushed open the car door and got out.
At the airport, he had driven a fancy car onto the tarmac. Just as he stepped out of the car, he saw Ye Junqing waving at a woman who had just disembarked from a plane, then started walking towards her.
What the hell! Was he deceived?
Han Chengbei quickly started a video call with WeChat. As soon as she picked up, Han Chengbei rolled his eyes at Ye Xingguang, saying: “Did you try to trick me? Ye Junqing didn’t kneel at all!”
Before answering the call, Ye Xingguang had already tucked the remains of her durian out of sight. She wiped her mouth, erasing all evidence of her indulgence, and firmly declared, “He did kneel, is kneeling right now.”
Han Chengbei quickly switched the camera, focusing it on Ye Junqing in the distance, who was sharing a warm embrace with a woman. “Is this your definition of Ye Junqing kneeling? That contemptuous man is at the airport, embracing another woman!”
The unexpected image directly came into Ye Xingguang’s view. Without Han Junze having to say anything, she recognized the man and woman in each other’s arms from the screen.
Even with just a glimpse of his back, she could recognize him – her resident malignant tumor!
“Who’s that woman?” Ye Xingguang’s voice was tinged with bitterness.
Han Chengbei said, “I don’t know. I couldn’t see her face. Wait, I will go over and see.”noveldrama
In the distance, Ye Junqing was separating from the woman after their hug. He then opened the nearby car door for her.
Han Chengbei only managed to catch a glimpse of the woman’s side profile before she ducked into the car. Ye Junqing quickly shut the door and walked around to the other side, to get in himself.
The luxurious and imposing Rolls Royce convoy quickly started up and sped away.
Recalling the woman’s side profile, Han Chengbei mused after a long while: “I think it might have been Iron Lady Yan Xi. She and Ye Junqing have been classmates and desk-mates from elementary school to high school. Other than Yan Xi, I can’t think of any other woman Ye Junqing would pick up personally and greet with such a warm hug.”
“Yan Xi, who is that? Iron Lady, you mean the president’s sister?”
Ye Xingguang knew this woman, she wasn’t ordinary. Just today, there had been news that Country A was about to welcome its first female defense minister, ushering in an era of women-led military forces.
It is said that Ye Junqing’s elder brother was inviting Yan Xi to be the new Minister of Defense.
Yan Xi came from a political family, she had served as the Minister of the Armed Forces and Minister of International Development. Known for her firm approach, she has always been hailed as the ‘Iron Lady’ of Country A…
