My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again-Chapter 242 - : The Arrogant and Presumptuous Love Rival 1
Chapter 242: Chapter 242: The Arrogant and Presumptuous Love Rival 1
Ye Qilan was in the middle of a conversation with a group executive when he heard something happening over at Su Hongxing’s side. He immediately left the executive, went over to her and said, “The conference is about to start, be a good girl and stay by my side.”
Su Hongxing softly affirmed and ceased to look at Xiao Ji.
Xiao Ji was trying to approach Su Hongxing, but at that moment, the host stepped onto the stage, gave an opening speech, and announced the official start of the conference.
Sitting snugly next to Ye Qilan in the first row, Su Hongxing was feeling extremely sleepy. Coupled with the lack of a good night’s rest, she couldn’t hold on after a little while and regardless of her surroundings, she simply leaned on Ye Qilan’s shoulder and dozed off.
Normally, this would be nothing, but it was then Ye Qilan’s turn to give a speech.
Ye Qilan didn’t have the heart to wake Su Hongxing, pretend not to hear the host calling his name.
The host noticed the situation, and other nearby attendees also spotted the anomaly.
The crowd was whispering amongst themselves, but Ye Qilan didn’t budge, not showing any intention to go on stage and deliver his speech.
The situation persisted for almost three minutes, the anxious host gestured repeatedly at the leader sitting on the other side of Su Hongxing, asking for his help in waking her up.
The leader dared not to look at Ye Qilan and nervously squeezed Su Hongxing’s hand with force.
Su Hongxing woke up in pain, at that moment thinking she was back in Taicheng’s villa. frёewebnoѵēl.com

Upon realizing that everyone’s gaze was focused on her, she immediately straightened up.
“Now let’s invite Mr. Ye Qilan for the speech!” The host sighed in relief and announced loudly with great enthusiasm.
A roaring applause deservedly erupted. It was then that Su Hongxing vaguely realized what had happened.
Before he got up to leave, Ye Qilan whispered in Su Hongxing’s ear: “My speech is quite short. You sit here, don’t move, don’t go to the restroom!”
Su Hongxing was reluctant to deal with Ye Qilan, this extremely controlling man. When they were dating in their past lives, no matter where she went, he was always tracking her.
She used to receive countless calls a day, and it was only after her plea that he reduced it to five a day, stating that five was the limit and could not be reduced further.
Hence, she knew that at this moment, she could only obediently agree to let him take the stage with peace of mind.
“Go ahead, I’ll sit right here and won’t go anywhere,” she said, smiling at him.
Ye Qilan’s heart warmed up. Were it not for the situation, he would definitely be tempted to give her a passionate kiss.
He rose gracefully and walked towards the stage under everyone’s gaze.
His speech was impactful and precise, hitting right on the mark. He remarkably cut down a half hour presentation to just ten minutes without losing any substance, benefiting everyone immensely.
When his speech concluded, the auditorium erupted into thunderous applause.
Xiao Ji was amidst the attendees. Although unwilling to admit it, he had to respect Ye Qilan’s extraordinary insights on urban development and business perspective.
However, being a rival in love, he did not like Ye Qilan’s arrogance and overconfidence.
Especially when Ye Qilan hesitated to take the stage, all in an attempt to not disturb Su Hongxing’s sleep. He saw it as nothing more than Ye Qilan’s method to win Su Hongxing’s heart.
Didn’t Ye Qilan realize that he was about to get married, yet he had the audacity to bring Su Hongxing to such an important conference? What would this do to her reputation?
At 5 p.m., the conference ended and it was time for press interviews.
