Chapter 666: Chapter 0666: Ma Yingjun’s Phone Call
Speaking of which, Ye Xunhuan suddenly kissed Qiu Ruoxi’s pale face ever so lightly, like a dragonfly skimming water!
Instantly, her pale cheeks flushed a deep red, and she looked extremely shy, just like the girl next door!
Sitting on the side, Wang Zilin revealed a smile.
A very pure smile!
The next moment, Qiu Ruoxi got up from the sofa as if she was a startled bunny, and hurriedly ran upstairs.
At this moment, her heart was filled with turmoil, never before had she been kissed in front of others!
Today was the first time.
Although she could helm the imperial business group and was decisive in the business world, she was still very shy in matters of love.
Now, in front of Wang Zilin, Ye Xunhuan merely pecked her on the face ever so lightly and then stood up and left the place.
Watching Qiu Ruoxi’s retreating figure, a slight smile slowly appeared on Ye Xunhuan’s lips as he said to Wang Zilin, "You laughed and scared my wife away!"
In response, Wang Zilin didn’t say anything but pursed her lips in protest.
Although Wang Zilin had just recently joined the imperial business group as an intern, she learned quite a bit about Qiu Ruoxi today, knowing she was a strong woman.
But she hadn’t anticipated that a strong woman would also have such a shy side, completely unlike what she imagined.
Just then, Mama Wang, carrying freshly prepared food, came out of the kitchen and immediately called Ye Xunhuan to eat!
Suddenly, as if she had discovered something, Mama Wang asked Ye Xunhuan, "Eh, where’s the missus? Did she go upstairs?"
Ye Xunhuan nodded, "Yes, probably something came up!"
"You kissed Sister Ruoxi and that’s why she went upstairs!" Wang Zilin directly blew Ye Xunhuan’s cover!
Ye Xunhuan’s lips twitched involuntarily; this impertinent young lady had just given him away.
Upon hearing Wang Zilin’s words, Mama Wang’s face quickly filled with a broad smile.
The relationship between Ye Xunhuan and Qiu Ruoxi had always been lukewarm, but since returning from Milan, it had improved and began evolving towards that of a normal married couple.
Mama Wang saw everything and felt happy, but she didn’t say much.
After dinner, Ye Xunhuan headed straight upstairs.
But this time, he didn’t go to his own room but to Qiu Ruoxi’s bedroom.
Pushing open the door of the bedroom, Ye Xunhuan scanned the room but didn’t see Qiu Ruoxi. Could she have gone to the study?
Then, Ye Xunhuan left Qiu Ruoxi’s bedroom and headed towards the study.
Just as he had expected, Qiu Ruoxi was indeed in the study.
As if she had already guessed that Ye Xunhuan would come looking for her in the study, Qiu Ruoxi showed no surprise at all.
"Wife, what are you up to?" Ye Xunhuan walked straight towards Qiu Ruoxi.
When he reached her side, Ye Xunhuan saw that the computer screen before Qiu Ruoxi was filled with a dense spreadsheet, which was headache-inducing just with one glance!
Qiu Ruoxi just glanced at Ye Xunhuan, then suddenly spoke, "Luo Weilian is dead, did you know that?"
Stunned by Qiu Ruoxi’s words, Ye Xunhuan was momentarily taken aback, then asked, "Is that so?"
Initially, when Ye Xunhuan had killed William Luo, he hadn’t disposed of Luo’s body, so it was normal that it was found!
Moreover, just now, Qu Qiangwei had stopped her on the road, and if Ye Xunhuan wasn’t mistaken, it must have been Qu Qiangwei who discovered William Luo had died first and then notified the police, who in turn told Qiu Ruoxi.
Thus, Ye Xunhuan wasn’t too surprised!
Qiu Ruoxi didn’t speak right away, but after staring at Ye Xunhuan for a long while, she slowly nodded and said, "Today, Wu Mei came to tell me that William Luo had died, died miserably, and it seemed like he had been tortured before his death!"
"It can’t be that bad, can it?" Ye Xunhuan feigned ignorance and asked, "Did he offend someone? How did he just die?"
Initially, Ye Xunhuan had indeed been tempted to tell Qiu Ruoxi that he had killed William Luo, but now he didn’t want to tell her.
He saw no need for it, since the man was already dead, what was the point of saying it now?
To make Qiu Ruoxi admire him?
Possible?
Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s puzzled look, Qiu Ruoxi couldn’t help but feel a surge of doubt. Could it really not be him?
Had she misunderstood?
But if not Ye Xunhuan, who would have killed William Luo?
Could it really be that some desperadoes had a conflict with William Luo, or that William had offended someone abroad in the past?
Had someone found him and killed him?
"Honey, since he’s already dead, don’t be too sad, let’s bury him and let him rest in peace," Ye Xunhuan said softly.
Qiu Ruoxi couldn’t get anything out of Ye Xunhuan and didn’t probe further, she nodded and said, "In a couple of days, the police are not allowing us to bury William Luo yet!"
"They might want to follow their own procedures, let’s just wait!" Ye Xunhuan said softly. "Honey, then what will you tell Xiahou Yuzhu?"
"I won’t tell her!" Qiu Ruoxi said without a second thought. "She’s already miserable enough, she married the wrong man, and now with her husband dead, it’s a big blow for her. If she finds out her son is also dead, I’m afraid she won’t be able to cope. It’s better to leave her some hope!"
Saying this, Qiu Ruoxi sighed deeply, "After all, she is my aunt!"
"Honey, this kind of thing can be concealed for a while, but definitely not forever!"
"As long as possible," Qiu Ruoxi said, a hint of helplessness on her face. "For now, it’s enough that she doesn’t know, as for the future, we’ll deal with it then!"
With Qiu Ruoxi putting it that way, Ye Xunhuan said no more.
But he knew, Qiu Ruoxi didn’t have any cousinly affection for William Luo; his death had not greatly impacted her.
But thinking about it, it made sense, as Qiu Ruoxi had always known William Luo’s intentions, how could she possibly have felt a deep cousinly bond?
She and William Luo were cousins, but more like adversaries, enemies!
It’s just that now William Luo was dead, and she was still alive.
Suddenly, just as Ye Xunhuan was about to say something, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang!
Upon hearing the ringtone, Ye Xunhuan gave Qiu Ruoxi a sheepish smile, then took out his phone, instinctively glancing at the caller ID.
When he saw that the call was from Ma Yingjun, Ye Xunhuan’s pupils suddenly constricted, a bad premonition rising sharply in his heart!
The next moment, unhesitatingly and in front of Qiu Ruoxi, Ye Xunhuan answered the call!
