Chapter 1179: My Lover
She kept calling him Third Master Hou and kept asking him to stop implicating ‘her family’. When she looked at him, her gaze was colder than when she was looking at a stranger. There were no emotions in it. In her eyes, he could only see coldness, rejection, and hatred…
Third Master Hou felt as though there was a block of ice engulfing his heart. His chest, which was supposed to be warm, felt so cold that he thought his blood was going to freeze too. “Yiwei, do we have to make such a clear distinction between us?”
“Third Master Hou, in the past, we didn’t have to. However, now, you have your life and I have mine. We need to make a clear distinction.” If she wasn’t bold and daring, how could she be the secretary of the governor of the Southern Province?
She took over the conversation without any fluctuations in her emotions. Hou Zi, who was prettier than a lady, suppressed his anger until veins started popping out from his forehead. Xia Yiwei’s sharp gaze turned a little colder as she looked at him. He was angry, very angry!
In the past, she never made him angry. She was always a virtuous and magnanimous girlfriend. She didn’t expect to anger the famous Third Master Hou after she broke up with him. This was really… sarcastic!
Hou Zi noticed that her gaze had turned cold and her anger had a hint of sorrow in it. He knew that he had to bear great responsibility for the state of their relationship now. Hence, he said patiently, “I need to ask Old Sixth’s girlfriend if she has any grudges with Ye Zhifan. At the same time, I need to ask her if she offended those people recently.”
“Since you want me to solve this matter that’s affecting your family, you need to let me investigate it, right?”
His reason was so ample that Xia Yiwei couldn’t reject him.
When Ye Jian saw the two of them sitting on the same stone bench by the Swan Lake, she was a little shocked. Captain Xia said that Sister Xia had made a firm decision to leave Hou Zi. Her relationship with the architect was quite stable too. Why did they come to look for her together?
“Jian, here.” Xia Yiwei had already seen Ye Jian. She got up elegantly and waved her hand. As compared to her, Hou Zi’s reaction was a little slow. His attention was all on the woman he loved. He didn’t notice his surroundings.
Summer was coming so in the afternoon, the heat from the sun was enough to curl the edges of the leaves. Yet, Xia Yiwei, who was wearing her professional outfit, didn’t perspire at all. Her makeup was clean and bright. She didn’t seem to feel warm.
She had a stern expression as she said calmly, “… If you haven’t heard of it, it means that the school doesn’t know or the school knows but they don’t believe it.”
Hou Zi… was her sugar daddy? Ye Jian looked calm but she felt a little awkward in her heart… Why did they have to spread the rumor that she was sugar dating Hou Zi? Why couldn’t they come up with other rumors?
“Old Sixth reminded me that this might have something to do with Ye Zhifan. I came today because I want to ask if you suspect anyone?”
Hou Zi said, “I thought that someone is targeting me but from the looks of it now, that isn’t the case. If someone is targeting me, Ye Jian, I can tell you seriously that they won’t just spread a rumor.”
He had many enemies and they were all ruthless people who had blood on their hands. If they were targeting him, it wouldn’t be just rumors.
Ye Jian smiled. “They shouldn’t be targeting you. I’m afraid that I’m the target. As for suspects…” She paused for a moment and looked at Hou Zi with her black and bright eyes. “Brother Zi, do you know someone called Sun Yaozu?”
