Chapter 28: Chapter 28: Kill with a Borrowed Knife_1

Upon hearing that, Ye Qilan couldn't help but laugh out loud. He found Su Hongxing, this woman, truly appealed to him.

Yet, Su Hongxing found Ye Qilan's behavior quite baffling, completely unable to figure out why he was laughing, let alone understand what he found funny.

After all, all she had spoken was the harsh truth. Humans are creatures who seek benefits while avoiding harm, so why should she rescue a woman who covets her own husband?

Du Qingyu, on the other hand, was caught staring at Ye Qilan's joyous expression.

She had known Ye Qilan for many years and in her memory, she had never seen him laugh so freely and uninhibitedly before.

Whenever Ye Qilan laughed at her, or at other women, it felt as if he were wearing a mask. That smiling mask was harmless and gentle, but it lacked warmth.

Yet, at that very moment, she saw the smile she had been longing for on Ye Qilan's face. How could this not sadden her?
