Chapter 1425: Chapter 1425: Acting Goes Live (3)

Su Hongxing responded particularly quickly, her tone indifferent: “Du Qingyu, at least you aren’t completely shameless. You know how to keep some distance. I hope you follow through with your words and stop making excuses to get close to my husband!”

Ye Qilan looked at Su Hongxing helplessly: “Wife, Du Qingyu and I are just business partners…”

“Of course I know that. But I’m afraid some women might covet you. You’re so outstanding, isn’t it natural for me to worry?” Su Hongxing hooked her arm around Ye Qilan’s: “I’m not the kind of woman who’s petty and jealous without reason. It’s just that those media reporters write such terrible things, and I feel distressed about your reputation.”

Ye Qilan chuckled and lightly tapped her on the head: “Alright, alright, it’s all my fault, okay? Just now, Du Qingyu also said she’d delegate this matter to her subordinates. Moving forward, I’ll try my best not to interact with her. Everything will revolve around you.”

Su Hongxing nodded vigorously, her smile so wide it was impossible to contain. She stood on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on Ye Qilan’s face: “Husband, you’re the best!”

Since Du Qingyu wanted to retreat to advance, Su Hongxing decided to press her step by step. She didn’t believe that Du Qingyu, upon seeing the loving scene between her and Ye Qilan, could refrain from going mad with jealousy.

Once a woman succumbs to jealousy, she easily loses rationality. With Ye Qilan’s cooperation, Su Hongxing felt everything was bound to fall into place smoothly.

Ye Qilan froze, staring blankly at Su Hongxing after her sudden kiss.

Su Hongxing pursed her lips and laughed secretly. Shifting her gaze, she noticed Du Qingyu was still present and said, “Du Qingyu, I don’t mean to target you intentionally. It’s just, well, he’s my husband after all, and seeing him constantly tied to rumors with you, I couldn’t help but doubt your motives. Now that we, as a couple, have resolved things, I won’t harbor any further hostility toward you. You’re a partner of the company and also a valued guest. I’ll have Assistant Luo see you out.”

Adopting the posture of the lady of the house, she pressed the intercom and instructed Assistant Luo: “Assistant Luo, please escort President Du out and make sure not to neglect her.”

Assistant Luo was startled when he heard Su Hongxing give orders. Earlier, he and the other colleagues had been waiting to watch the drama unfold. He had even deliberately mentioned to Su Hongxing about Ye Qilan having lunch with Du Qingyu, just to see how she would react.

He hadn’t expected Su Hongxing to establish her dominance so quickly.

He respectfully agreed. Shortly after, Du Qingyu emerged, her expression composed, giving away neither joy nor anger.

Assistant Luo couldn’t hold back his curiosity and asked with concern: “President Du, you didn’t suffer any grievances just now, did you?”

Du Qingyu seemed momentarily distracted but replied with a faint smile: “Who could possibly make me suffer grievances? Thank you for your concern, Assistant Luo.”

“It’s only right. After all, you’re a major client of our company and someone important to President Ding. It’s proper for us subordinates to show you respect,” Assistant Luo replied eagerly with a flattering smile.

Du Qingyu turned her gaze toward Assistant Luo and suddenly asked, “Have President Ding and Su Hongxing always had a good relationship?”

“Well…” Assistant Luo thought for a moment and shook his head: “I haven’t seen Madam very often. However, in the beginning, Madam was the one who pursued President Ding relentlessly. President Ding couldn’t withstand Madam’s aggressive advances and ultimately surrendered. In that sense, they had something of a flash marriage.”

In other words, Su Hongxing’s abilities were exceptional. For a woman to win over a man like the big boss in such a short time—it could only be described as miraculous.

Recently, he had thought Du Qingyu was on the verge of rising to the top, but as soon as Su Hongxing arrived, Du Qingyu was rendered powerless. It seemed both he and the others had underestimated Su Hongxing’s capabilities.
