For the next week, Ye Shiqing stayed overnight at Qingmu Garden every day, all in an effort to break down Qiao Qiao's emotional defenses.
Qiao Qiao finally couldn't stand Ye Shiqing's obsessive clinging and simply decided not to return to Qingmu Garden to live.
As for Ye Qilan, he met with Du Qingyu daily. Initially, he had thought Du Qingyu would throw herself into his arms quickly, but on the contrary, Du Qingyu maintained her distance with measured restraint, never taking any excessive actions. This frustrated Ye Qilan and tested his patience.
Both Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing felt that there was something off about Du Qingyu. If Du Qingyu could keep herself this composed, it meant she was a woman of deep strategy.
"Honey, I don't want to keep sparring with Du Qingyu anymore. I'm planning to end the operation," Ye Qilan said, pulling Su Hongxing to stroll in the Apricot Forest on a Sunday night, revealing his decision.
