At nine o'clock in the evening, Ye Qilan left the dinner with Su Hongxing. The two had planned to head home early, but unexpectedly ran into Beichuan on the way out.
Ye Qilan's face darkened the moment he saw Beichuan. He held Su Hongxing's hand, intending to leave.
Beichuan noticed this and called out to Su Hongxing instead: "Su Su, it's rare to run into you. Have a couple of drinks with me before you go."
Su Hongxing felt a sharp pain in her hand—this was Ye Qilan showing signs of anger. She turned her gaze toward Ye Qilan, attempting to calm him with her eyes.
Beichuan, however, was utterly tactless. The more unsatisfied Ye Qilan was to see him, the more he wanted to provoke him.
"Su Su, does that man Ding know you were once my fiancée? Given his character, do you really think—"
"Beichuan, don't even try to provoke me unless you've got a death wish!" Ye Qilan stared at Beichuan, his gaze as sharp as a dagger.
