The time Ye Qing Xin is done getting ready for bed, Jing Bo Yuan is standing outside and answering in the call. The day in the door is cold. He only wears his s.h.i.+rt and trousers. It’s too thin.

The time he hans up and opens the door to get inside the room. Ye Qing Xin hugs him: “This is the last time.”

Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and seems to be confused.

Ye Qing Xin raises her little face and looks at him: “In the future I don’t want to see you to wear this thin cloth outside, what will happen if you be frozen? If you are sick, I’ll be heartbroken.”

If this man is not hers, perhaps she will admire him. But this man is hers, she hopes that he will keep on being healthy.

Jing Bo Yuan lowers her eyes and strokes her cheek. “Okay.” He kisses her lips.

His kiss skill has elevated. Ye Qing Xin starts to blush and hugs his waist tightly. Her heart is racing. Jing Bo Yuan keeps on kissing her. This intimate moment doesn’t last for long and he lets her go. He looks at her red face and says with his hoa.r.s.e voice: “Go down and eat.”

Ye Qing Xin opens her eyes.

Auntie Chi notices that both of them are coming down. “Xian Sheng Tai Tai, good morning.” Then she serves out the dishes that Chief Lu has prepared for them.

Recently Ye Qing Xin really loves to eat toast and milk. She loves to dip her toast into the milk.

Jing Bo Yuan looks at her weird way of eating toast, he frowns. Ye Qing Xin notices it and raises her head. She smiles at him.

After the breakfast, Jing Bo Yuan drives the car and takes Ye Qing Xin to the hospital.

Cheng Ru Yu has waited for them.

“Cheng Yi Sheng (Doctor Cheng).” Ye Qing Xin gets off the car and Jing Bo Yuan just helps her to wear the scarf tightly.

Cheng Ru Yu looks at both of them. Jing Bo Yuan’s one hand is hugging Ye Qing Xin’s waist. He looks protective of her.

“Xin Xin, why are you so formal. You can call me Cheng Da Ge (Big Bro Cheng)” Cheng Ru Yu peeks at Jing Bo Yuan, then smiles brightly toward Ye Qing Xin, “Or perhaps Cheng Ge Ge (Brother Cheng), I don’t mind it”

Ye Qing Xin smiles awkwardly. That kind of intimate calling, she cannot do it.

“Tonight….” Jing Bo Yuan speaks up calmly: “There is an annual event by Vinci group. I heard that Cheng Nai Nai (Grandma Cheng) will also come. If she knows about Xin Xin’s pregnancy, she will definitely be so emotional.”

Then, she will start to put pressure on Cheng Ru Yu to go to blind-date until the day he marries.”

“……….” Cheng Ru Yu is extremely enraged. He glares at Jing Bo Yuan. He requites kindness with enmity!

“Also.” Jing Bo Yuan ignores his complaining gazes and says directly: “Call her Sao Zi (Sister-in-law.”

Cheng Ru Yu: “……”

“San Shen (Third auntie) recently is so anxious about Fen Fen’s marriage matter. Fen Fen is twenty eight years old. She is beautiful, Cheng Nai Nai liks him, if not I….”

“Sao Zi.” Cheng Ru Yu finally complies. He smiles at Ye Qing Xin.

“Let’s go. Sao Zi. This time I arrange two famous gynecologists for you. They both are great.” He says it and makes a gesture of “Please after you.” Ye Qing Xin laughs because of it.

The time they go upstair, Ye Qing Xin asks Jby: “He is really afraid of Fen Fen Jie?”

Jing Bo Yuan laughs lightly: “He avoids her like someone avoids snake.

“Fen Fen Jie likes Cheng Yi Sheng?”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t deny it.

Perhaps because Jing Fen Fen is in a good relations.h.i.+p with Yu Qing You, Ye Qing Xin doesn’t have any good feeling for Jing Fen Fen, but she doesn’t hate her too. She just feels like she is a stranger.

This time the doctors that are responsible for Ye Qing Xin are Bai Yi Sheng and Ning Yi Sheng.

Bai Yi Sheng, a forty years old woman. Ning Yi Sheng is older than her, she should be around fifty.

Ye Qing Xin does the blood test first and then does the ultrasonography.

Outside behind the curtain, Jing Bo Yuan and Cheng Ru Yu are standing outside waiting.

Bai Yi Sheng is probing her belly with the stick, Ning Yi Sheng watches on the side.

After a while, both of them frowns, they turn serious.

Though it’s not the first time she has a check up, but she is so nervous. She looks at both of the doctors’ face and feels so nervous. She doesn’t say anything and waits for them to speak up.

After a while, Bai Yi Sheng says: “Three fetus, two of them have developed well, but the last one we cannot see the heart.”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t understand but she knows it’s not a good thing. “What do you mean?”

Ning Yi Sheng says frankly: “It’s possible that last one develops late….. also there’s possibility… that there is flaw in its development…..”

Ye Qing Xin’s heart feels worried: “Ning Yi Sheng, can you say it in more understandable way?”

“If it’s late development, then we can see the heart really soon. Maybe he just develop a bit late, but there’s a flaw that she cannot develop….. we probably needs to consider to reduce it.”

Ye Qing Xin’s face turns pale.

Ning Yi Sheng comforts her: “Jing Tai Tai, don’t be too sad. This one should be belonged to natural selection. It cannot be avoided. It’ll be better for the other two.”

Bai Yi Sheng: “but there’s also possibility that it’s just late. Let’s wait till seven more days, you can come over and have a check up. Maybe that time we can see the heart. Jing Tai Tai, don’t be too anxious. You need to maintain your mood.”

Jing Bo Yuan also hears the doctor’s words.

When Ye Qing Xin wipes her belly, he comes over and takes the towel from her. He helps her to wipe it cleanly.

“Jing Tai Tai you should pay attention to your nutrient in-take. You also need to maintain your mood. As for the what we explained before, you don’t need to be emotional or guilty. You need to help the other two babies to develop healthily.” Bai Yi Sheng continues and looks at Jing Bo Yuan: “Jing Xian Sheng, you as a papa, you need to pay attention to soon-to-be Mama ‘s mood. You need to help her to be happy.”

Jing Bo Yuan nods calmly.

“Thank you Ning Yi Sheng, Bai Yi Sheng.” Ye Qing Xin smiles.

This time Cheng Ru Yu is helping Ye Qing Xin takes the check-up result. Bai Yi Sheng and Ning Yi Sheng look at it and find it’s all good.

Before she comes out of the room, Ye Qing Xin suddenly remembers that she was given a medicine to eat. She turns her head and asks the doctor: “Ten days ago, I felt my stomach to be in pain. That time I was in Shang Hai, the doctor prescribed me with a medicine to prevent miscarriage. Now I am not feel any pain or bleed, can I stop?”

Bai Yi Sheng smiles and replies: “if it’s not necessary, it’s better to not take any medicine during pregnancy.”

Ye Qing Xin nods: “Thank you.”

The time they come out of the ultrasonography room, Jing Bo Yuan is helping Ye Qing Xin to wear her scarf. He says to her with his low voice: “Don’t be scared. I’m here.”

Ye Qing Xin raises her head and shows her bright smile to him. Then she lowers her head and strokes her belly. “I’m not scared. I believe that Bao Bao (baby) will be okay. Bao Bao Men (Babies) is very great and strong.”

Jing Bo Yuan hugs her and strokes her hair.

“I want to visit Nai Nai.” Ye Qing Xin says depressingly.

“Em.” They both walks toward the elevator.

A pregnant woman with huge belly walks pa.s.s them. Ye Qing Xin is so surprised and suddenly thinks of how big her belly be when she is pregnant with triplet. Will it three times bigger than this?

She imagines it.

Jing Bo Yuan notices her mood and asks her: “What is it?”

Ye Qing Xin shakes her head: “Nothing.”

Inside the VIP sickroom.

Old Mister Jing recently lives in the sickroom of Old Madame Jing. Now Old Madame Jing is getting better, she doesn’t need to use the oxygen support. Old Mister Jing looks at them smiles.

When they come the American doctor is doing a check up.

“Ye Ye.” Jing Bo Yuan holds Ye Qing Xin’s hand and comes over.

Ye Qing Xin also calls after him sweetly: “Ye Ye.”

Old Mister Jing replies: “Em.” He asks: “Why are you guys here? Xin Xin doesn’t go to cla.s.s? You don’t go to office?”

“Today Xin Xin had a check up.” Jing Bo Yuan let her sit down and undoes her scarf.

“Em.” Old Mister Jing looks at Ye Qing Xin and wants to ask something.

Ye Qing Xin is sensible and speaks up: “The doctor said that Bao Bao Men are very healthy.”

Old Mister Jing nods and doesn’t say anything.

The American doctor is done with the checkup. Jing Bo Yuan sends him out.

Ye Qing Xin says to Old Mister Jing: “I want to say something to Nai Nai.”

Old Mister Jing nods.

She stands up and sits down on the bed side. Old Madame Jing’s eyes are close.

“Nai Nai.” Ye Qing Xin holds Old Madame Jing’s old hand. “The doctor said that Kids should show the heart. But one Bao Bao is lazy. It hasn’t showed its heart. Nai Nai, the time you are awake you should teach that lazy guy. It makes me worried.”

“Nai Nai, the doctor said that Bao Bao will come out in August. That time if you aren’t awake. You will not see my belly with Bao Bao Men. Tell me, in the future will my belly three times bigger than other?”

“Nai Nai, Bao Bao Men really miss you. Last night I dreamt and Bao Bao Men told me that if Nai Nai isn’t awake, in the future they will not want to talk with you, also will not let you hold them…..”

Jing Bo Yuan comes inside and hears Ye Qing Xin’s ‘threat’. He laughs.

“What did the American say?” Old Mister Jing asks when Jing Bo Yuan sits down.

“Nai Nai is stable. She recovers well, there’s no significance for him to be here.”

The American doctor means that he wants to go back.

“You agree?” Old Mister Jing is unhappy to let him go. The patient is still unconscious, how can the doctor just leave half the way.

Jing Bo Yuan shakes his head: “I invited him here, not for him to just leave it unfinished.”

Old Mister Jing remembers Qu Zheng’s words. The American doctor is very popular and arrogant. It’s hard to invite hm over. You should ask him a month prior.

“A Yuan, what did you give him to invite him over?”

“Nothing.” Jing Bo Yuan says calmly.

“Qu Zheng had told me he is hard to invite. You can invite him so easily and fast. How can you not give him anything?”

Jing Bo Yuan takes out his cigarette and puts it on his mouth.

Because he is biting his cigarette, his words are unclear. “He wants my Hawaii’s winery. He had looked for me twice. He wants to buy it but I wasn’t willing.”

“So you just give it to him?”

Jing Bo Yuan says: “em. The winery is not expensive but it has a great view.”

At first.. Jing Bo Yuan wants to take Ye Qing Xin to go there to have honeymoon.

Old Mister Jing doesn’t say anything else. He knows his grandson very well. He is a natural businessman. His mind is full of business. He is great, he has a lot of companies. He will not care for a winery.

He looks that his grandson is holding an unlit-cigarette: “If you want to smoke go out. Your Nai Nai and Xin Xin cannot smell this.”

Jing Bo Yuan replies: “I will not smoke. I just pretend.”

Old Mister Jing: “……..”

Ye Qing Xin talks a lot of things with Old Madame Jing. Ninety percent of it revolves around three unborn kids.

11:15 a.m.

Jing Bo Yuan stands up and calls after Ye Qing Xin to go home.

They both take the elevator downstairs. Ye Qing Xin keeps on smiling and talks with Jing Bo Yuan. After the B ultrasonography, her face doesn’t show any sign of worry. She is more optimistic than before. But Jing Bo Yuan knows that her heart is not really happy.

“Bo Yuan, what do you think? We should break up wall between the master bedroom and the room beside it. We should change the room beside it to a baby room. So at night if something happens to the baby, we can investigate it on time…… three Bao Bao, that time if it’s only Auntie Zhang and Auntie Chi. They should be very tired and busy. We should find several others.

“I remember that there’re a lot of old A Yi, what about if we borrow two experienced A Yi to take care fo the baby? If we look for it again, we will not know for sure about them. I’m worry.”

Jing Bo Yuan hugs Ye Qing Xin’s shoulder and holds her hand: “Okay, I’ll follow you.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles and remembers the last time, Jing Bo Yuan had ordered a pink little bed.

“I saw the custom-made little bed that you ordered before. It’s very cute. I’ll ask Auntie Zhang to move it out. It’s should be for the laziest baby to sleep.” She continues: “Now we cannot see one of its heartbeat, maybe it’s a girl so she is slower.”

She lowers her head and strokes her belly. “Lao Da (Biggest), Lao Er (Second biggest), you guys are not allowed to bully Mei Mei (little sister), do you guys listen to me? You guys need to let Mei Mei eat the good one. If you guys bully Mei Mei, then the time you guys are out, Mama will hit your bottom.”

Jing Bo Yuan: “…. they are still small, they cannot hear you…..”

Ye Qing Xin looks at Jing Bo Yuan: “I hope that kids will look like you.”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles lightly and lowers his head to ask her: “Why?”

Ye Qing Xin leans on his body: “I want to see you when you were young, and also your image when you were young…”

Suddenly she feels a bit regretful that she never sees the young Jing Bo Yuan.

It’s a bit cold and gloomy outside.

Ye Qing Xin says: “Will it snow?”

Jing Bo Yuan helps Ye Qing Xin to wear her jacket and hat. He also wraps the scarf three times on her and just leaves her eyes out.

“It’s a bit tight……”

“Undo it when we are on the car.” Jing Bo Yuan stops Ye Qing Xin, ‘it’s windy.”

“Okay. You always take care of me, why don’t you take care of yourself too? Bend down.”

Jing Bo Yuan bends his body. Ye Qing Xin wraps his scarf on him three times too and b.u.t.tons his coat.

Jing Bo Yuan looks at her action and feels happy.

“Let’s go.”

Both of them go out.

Lu Jie is standing near the door, she notices both of them. She looks at Wen Ze Yan beside her.

She says mockingly at him: “Ye Qing Xin doesn’t choose to turn back, perhaps it’s a right choice. He is far better than you. It’s too different.”

Wen Ze Yan is silent and calm.

On the car.

Ye Qing Xin answers a call from Si Ming Jing. Si Ming Jing says that she has successfully finished her five clothes. Ye Qing Xin can take it any time.

“Thank you, Jing Jie. When are you free, I’ll treat you a meal.”

“Really?” Si Ming Jing says.

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “of course, you are a great help for me.”

Si Ming Jing smiles and doesn’t refuse. She speaks bluntly: “What about this Friday? The restaurant that I want to eat is Tang Ge, it has lost a star of Michelin.”

“Last time didn’t you say that you really want to eat that one?”

“I’m joking. It’s too expensive. I even cannot afford it. You are not yet graduated from university. How can you have a lot of expensive? I will feel guilty. If not let’s eat hotpot, one hundred Yuan per person, we can neat till full. I am not a picky person.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Then let’s just eat at Tang Ge. I also like their food. That time let’s ask Han Huo Huo and Zhang Han Han together too. Jing Jie, you don’t mind right?”

“As long as you have the money, I’m okay to eat it.”

The call ends and Ye Qing Xin smiles with her eyes narrow at Jing Bo Yuan. Jing Bo Yuan knows about her request.

He holds her hand: “You want me to help you to contact Qi Ya La?”

Ye Qing Xin is surprised: “How do you know?”

Jing Bo Yuan laughs and doesn’t answer her.

Ye Qing Xin looks at his serious face and pouts: “After lunch, please send me back to Pear to get clothes. This afternoon I want to send it to her. I want to seize the chance before she loses interest to my design to send it to her.”

“Bo Yuan…” Ye Qing Xin looks at Jing Bo Yuan: “I don’t understand Italian, you need to help me. I want to chat with her, I need your help.”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t agree or disagree, Ye Qing Xin just regards that he approves.

“Thank you, Lao Gong (Husband.” She remembers that he likes to hear her calling him that way.

Jing Bo Yuan holds her hand and intertwines their hands.

They arrive at the restaurant. After the ordering the food, Ye Qing Xin takes out her wallet to take out Qi Ya La’s business card.

Ye Qing Xin wants to call that number but she doesn’t feel confident that she can chat with her. So she looks at Jing Bo Yuan, who is drinking his tea. “If not you help me to call her, just tell her you are my a.s.sistant.”

Jing Bo Yuan looks at Ye Qing Xin and puts down his cup of tea. He looks serious. “An overcautious and indecisive person will never grow. You haven’t started but you are doubting yourself, how can other people believe in you? For everything you need to communicate and socialize. You want to go international then you need to communicate with everyone. You will encounter different people who speaks in different language, are you sure you want others to help you? Even for a leader of the company, before he handles something to his subordinate, he needs to be capable to solve everything and not just handle anything to someone else. What if some day you cannot depend on anyone, what will you do?”

Ye Qing Xin’s face changes. He is right. Qi Ya La speaks Chinese a bit, perhaps they can talk in Chinese. If not maybe she can learn Italian. Anyway she shouldn’t just depend on him to solve this.

She bits her lips and smiles at her: “Thank you Jing Lao s.h.i.+ (Teacher JIng) for your lecture, I get it. I will call Qi Ya La by myself. If we really cannot talk with each other. Then please help me.”

Jing Bo Yuan nods.

Ye Qing Xin dials her number. Jing Bo Yuan says to her: “For calling Italian number you should add 0039.”

“…….”

After a while, the call is answered.

Qi Ya La says something in Italian. Ye Qing Xin purses her lips and says with CHinese. “HI, Qi Ya La. I am Ye Qing Xin. We met before at Shang Hai, do you remember it?”

Qi Ya La is startled for a while and she speaks with her happy voice in Chinese: “I remember, that day…. we met at Shang Hai…. met…… You will hold a fas.h.i.+on show?”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles and says: “I saw your Instagram. I know that you want to have my newly designed clothes. I’m very happy that you like my design. I especially made five for you. Can you give me your address? I will send it for you? As my token of gratefulness .”

“I’m sorry, you are talking too fast…. I don’t understand.”

Ye Qing Xin turns silent and says in English this time.

“Thank you for your kindness, my address…..”

Qi Ya La is very direct and fast.

Ye Qing Xin takes out her notebook and pen. She starts to note the address down.

The call end.

Ye Qing Xin puts back her notebook. She is thankful that her English is quite good.

“I don’t use your help and solve it myself.”

Jing Bo Yuan looks at her smiling face.

‘” Bo Yuan thank you that you don’t spoil too much.”

For Ye Qing Xin, Jing Bo Yuan is not only her husband but also her life tutor.

After the lunch, Jing Bo Yuan drives her to Pear.

This time it’s lunch so the office is empty. Ye Qing Xin goes to Si Ming Jing’s room to take the clothes. Si Ming Jing just returns back from buying her lunch. “Xin Xin, you are here.”

“Jing Jie. Thank you for helping me.”

“Why are you so courteous. It’s okay.”

“Then I’ll leave first. I will not disturb you again. If you need any help please contact me. I will try hard to help you, Jing Jie.”

“Then don’t forget this Friday.”

Ye Qing Xin leaves the office with a case with her. She notices that Jing Bo Yuan is waiting for her near the elevator: ‘why are you here?”

Ye Qing Xin knows that he is worried about her and wants to help her to bring her things.

She smiles and hugs his arm.

“How can I walk if you are like this?”

Ye Qing Xin smiles and let him go. They wait for the elevator, she stands in tip-toe and kisses his cheek.

Jing Bo Yuan just turns his head and kisses her lips.

Then both of them hear a step of high heels so they part. They notice that someone is coming. It’s Xiao Lian.

Xiao Lian is surprised to meet them there.

“Bo Yuan.” She smiles and calls Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin.”

She looks at Jing Bo Yuan and asks: “Why are you here?”

“I come to accompany my wife to take things from her office.”

Xiao Lian’s face changes.

He says, my wife.
