Chapter 563: Chapter 0563: Time to Confront?
Ye Xunhuan did not spend the night at Qin Muge’s place, or rather, he was in no mood to stay there at all!
At this moment, his heart was completely filled by Su Guyan; he needed some peace.
By the time Ye Xunhuan returned to the villa, it was already past twelve o’clock at night.
As soon as he walked into the living room of the villa, Ye Xunhuan saw Qiu Ruoxi asleep on the sofa.
Her long black hair was spread out, and the usual frostiness on her face had vanished, replaced by a calm and regal quietude. Her eyes were tightly closed, her breathing even, and she seemed to be sleeping sweetly!
Ye Xunhuan had wanted to wake Qiu Ruoxi and tell her to go back to her bedroom to rest, but after seeing how soundly she was sleeping, he did not dare to wake her. Instead, he tiptoed back to his bedroom, fetched a thin blanket, and gently covered her with it.
Just as Ye Xunhuan had draped the blanket over her, the sleeping Qiu Ruoxi’s eyelashes fluttered slightly.
Soon after, she slowly opened her eyes and immediately saw Ye Xunhuan standing in front of her.
"You’re awake, go back to your room to sleep," Ye Xunhuan said softly, "Why were you sleeping here?"
Qiu Ruoxi’s expression turned complicated as she glanced at Ye Xunhuan, "I was watching TV; I don’t know how I fell asleep!"
"Watching TV?" Ye Xunhuan smiled, "Wife, you’re amazing, you can watch TV without it being on!"
Upon hearing Ye Xunhuan’s words, a flush of red appeared on Qiu Ruoxi’s delicate cheeks, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. She avoided looking at Ye Xunhuan and muttered, "Mind your own business!"
"If I come back late in the future, don’t wait for me. Go rest earlier," Ye Xunhuan said softly.
Ye Xunhuan was not a fool; he could tell Qiu Ruoxi was waiting for him, especially when she opened her eyes and saw him. The complex emotions in her gaze revealed a spark of light.
"Who... who is waiting for you, don’t flatter yourself," Qiu Ruoxi said with decreasing confidence, "It was Mrs. Wang who was waiting for you. I saw she wasn’t feeling well, so I let her rest!"
"So you were waiting on behalf of Mrs. Wang!"
"Otherwise, do you think I would wait for you? Dream on!"
With that, Qiu Ruoxi hastily got up and headed upstairs.
Watching Qiu Ruoxi’s retreating figure, Ye Xunhuan shook his head helplessly. This woman was clearly waiting for him, yet was unyieldingly stubborn, claiming she was watching TV and waiting on behalf of Mrs. Wang.
Isn’t this what they say about women being creatures of contradiction?
Ye Xunhuan had imagined countless times what ’home’ was!
He finally came to a conclusion.
Home is a house where inside, a woman sits under a lamp, waiting for her husband to return, no matter how late it is.
Initially, he felt this was a luxury for himself. He had fantasized about such scenes countless times, but today, seeing Qiu Ruoxi sitting here waiting for him, he felt as if he saw hope.
Qiu Ruoxi was undergoing a transformation towards becoming a wife.
This was a good thing.
If it had been before, seeing such a significant change in Qiu Ruoxi would have thrilled Ye Xunhuan immensely, but now he simply could not feel happy.
Issues with Su Guyan weighed on him like a stone, especially the word that Su Guyan might be in trouble, which left Ye Xunhuan unable to feel at ease.
He wanted to make a trip to Tianmen, and now seeing Qiu Ruoxi sitting on the sofa waiting for his return, he was even more uncertain about how to talk to Qiu Ruoxi about it.
At the same time, recalling the passionate moments he had shared with Qin Muge and seeing Qiu Ruoxi waiting for him like this, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt.

After getting up the next morning and having breakfast in the villa, the two of them left the villa one after the other.
Arriving at the company, Ye Xunhuan swept away the gloominess of the previous day and once again resumed his previous demeanor, exuding a carefree vibe.
Ye Xunhuan sat in his office, legs crossed, smoking a cigarette, and playing a video game with gleeful abandon.
Just at that moment, the phone on Ye Xunhuan’s desk rang. Without thinking, he picked it up and was about to speak.
A cold, familiar voice then entered Ye Xunhuan’s ears.
"Come to my office!"
As the voice fell, without giving Ye Xunhuan a chance to reply, the call was disconnected.
Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Ye Xunhuan gave a bitter smile. His wife always treated him like a taxi driver, beckoning him over and sending him away with a wave of her hand!
Although he didn’t know what Qiu Ruoxi wanted, Ye Xunhuan still put down his video game and went to Qiu Ruoxi’s office.
Upon reaching the door of Qiu Ruoxi’s office, Ye Xunhuan, out of habit, didn’t knock and just pushed the door open and walked in.
In the office, Qiu Ruoxi, dressed in a beige business suit, was sitting at her desk perusing documents!
Her long hair, resembling spilled ink, was neatly tied up, accentuating her swan-like, elegant, and luminously white neckline. Under the desk, her long, beautiful legs were elegantly crossed.
She appeared as a gorgeously blooming peony, stunningly beautiful!
Upon hearing the door open, Qiu Ruoxi gently lifted her head to glance at Ye Xunhuan, then lowered it again.
"Wife, what did you need to see me for?"
"You’ll know in a moment," Qiu Ruoxi said, her head down as she busied herself with the documents.
Just as Ye Xunhuan was about to speak again, someone knocked on the office door from outside.
"Come in!"
The door creaked open,
and two women, both outstanding in figure and looks, walked in.
Upon seeing the two women, Ye Xunhuan was immediately dumbfounded, staring at them in astonishment.
Why did Qiu Ruoxi call Mei Hanqing and Qin Muge over?
Could it be that she had discovered his relationships with these two women and had summoned them all today to confront him?
For a moment, Ye Xunhuan’s heart was filled with trepidation and unease.
Upon seeing Ye Xunhuan, Qin Muge and Mei Hanqing were also taken aback, but Mei Hanqing soon regained her composure.
However, Qin Muge was filled with nervousness; she was well aware of the relationship between Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi, that they were husband and wife.
Now that she had been specifically called over, and Ye Xunhuan was also here, what was Qiu Ruoxi planning to do?
Could it be a confrontation?
But if it was a confrontation, there was no need to call Mei Hanqing, was there?
Could it be that Qiu Ruoxi wanted to have a witness? Someone to testify?
In panic, Qin Muge’s heart was filled with turmoil.
Qiu Ruoxi lifted her head and looked at Qin Muge and Mei Hanqing, and said softly, "Now that everyone is here, please take a seat and we’ll talk."
Hearing this from Qiu Ruoxi, Ye Xunhuan and Qin Muge became even more uneasy. If Mei Hanqing also came to know about the relationship between Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi, it probably wouldn’t remain as calm as it was now.
"President Qiu, what did you want to talk to us about?" Mei Hanqing was the first to ask.
