Every day Ye Qing Xin comes to visit Old Madame Jing.
Today is Sat.u.r.day.
Jing Bo Yuan has something to do. Ye Qing Xin accompanies Old Madame Jing for a whole day. At night 05:10 p.m. Driver Lu picks her up and takes her to Tang Ge.
Originally she has appointment to treat Si Ming Jing to eat at Tang Ge on Friday but Si Ming Jing has something else. So their appointment changes to Sat.u.r.day 06:00 p.m.
Ye Qing Xin also wants to treat Connie but Connie has to go to join other photography compet.i.tion.
Ye Qing Xin arrives at Tang Ge. Si Ming Jing and Zhang Han Han have arrived too. They wait twenty minutes for Han Huo Huo.
“I’m sorry. Before I met someone that I know. So I’m late.” Han Huo Huo apologizes.
“You cannot just apologizes, you need to drink this.” Si Ming Jing calls the waiter, “Let’s open the wine bottle first. No need to give us the most expensive, just the common one.” She says it and looks at Ye Qing Xin. She asks:”Can we?”
Ye Qing Xin jokes: “Today I’ll listen to you.”
Si Ming Jing slaps the table: “I’m happy!”
Very quickly the waiter opens a wine bottle for them and pours it to each of their gla.s.s. When it’s Ye Qing Xin’s gla.s.s, Ye Qing Xin raises her hand to stop the waiter: “I will not drink.”
“How can you do this? How can you are treating a guest and not drink. We should not go home till we are drunk!” Si Ming Jing shows her disagreement.
Ye Qing Xin smiles happily: “It’s not that I don’t want to drink. But I cannot drink. I am pregnant, Jing Jie.”
Si Ming Jing, Han Huo Huo, Zhang Han Han: “……”
In the next moment.
“You are pregnant?” Si Ming Jing is surprised. Her voice turns high: “You aren’t graduated yet right?”
Ye Qing Xin blushes, she feels that she is not a good student.
“Who is the man? Will he marry you?” Si Ming Jing is old enough to be Ye Qing Xin’s mother. She is worried for her.
Ye Qing Xin could hear her worry, she smiles: “We have registered our marriage. We have decided our wedding date too.”
“What? You even have decided it? How can you not tell us? You are unfriendly!” Zhang Han Han pouts: “Is it that man who we met at Shang Hai?”
“……” Ye Qing Xin: “I am thinking to wait till I get the invitation to tell you…..”
“You have met Xin Xin’s husband?” Si Ming Jing asks Zhang Han han. She starts to want to gossip: “How is he?”
“I don’t really remember. I didn’t dare to have a careful look.” Zhang Han Han tries to remember the moment she met Jing Bo Yuan in Shang Hai. She just remembers that he is a great man.
“Why didn’t you dare to look at him? Is he too ugly?” Si Ming Jing laughs.
Zhang Han Han thinks about it and says: “Do you remember the boss, w.a.n.g Cong, of Hao Tai company? I remember the time he got inside the room, no one will dare to speakup…”
“I remember that strict boss. My friend has been his a.s.sistant for ten years. Till now she still hasn’t dared to look at him.” Si Ming Jing smiles.
“Xin Xin’s husband is even scarier than Chief w.a.n.g.”
“What is your husband’s job?” Si Ming Jing asks Ye Qing Xin.
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “He is … he is doing business. He needs to handle a lot of workers so he is a bit serious and strict. But actually he is friendly….. let’s order food.”
Si Ming Jing takes the menu and says: “Then he is a big boss.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and doesn’t deny.
The silent Han Huo Huo suddenly says: “Talking about strict boss, I remember someone.”
Zhang Han Han asks: “Who?”
“Bo Wei’s founder, Jing Bo Yuan.” Han Huo Huo says: “Last year in May, our company had collaboration with Bo Wei. Chief Chen went to have negotiation with Jing Bo Yuan. He brought me and another a.s.sistant. We waited for half an hour in the guest room and he just came. The time he got inside the room, I felt the atmosphere turns so serious. I even didn’t dare to breath hard. I even didn’t dare to look at him.
Chief Chen is Connie, Connie’s Chinese name is Chen Yu.
“But his voice is pleasant to hear, I heard from his voice that he should be a handsome one.” Han Huo Huo smiles: “Then I just raised my head to peek…”
“Very ugly right? You were so surprised right?” Si Ming Jing jokes.
Han Huo Huo says seriously: “No, he is really handsome.” She sighs: “I used to have a crush on him.”
“Really? You are so embarra.s.sing.”
Han Huo Huo turns quiet, she is disappointed.
They order food.
The waiter goes out with the menu.
Ye Qing Xin lowers her head and drinks her tea.
She doesn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. Her husband is really very popular.
After a long time.
Han Huo Huo sighs: “He is the most charming man that I have ever seen. He is so attracted and masculine. But somehow it’s hard to get close to him. That kind of high-end man, I cannot imagine what kind of woman can marry him. I really want to attend his wedding to see what kind of seductress can enter his heart.”
“Phh…. kh. Kh…” Ye Qing Xin is choking.
“Are you okay?” Si Ming Jing pats her back: “You are big enough, how can you get choke?”
Ye Qing Xin coughs and waves her hand to show that she is okay.
She raises her head and looks at Han Huo Huo.
She doesn’t know what will Han Huo Huo think if she finds out that seductress is her.
Ye Qing Xin wants to laugh.
It should be interesting.
The waiter starts to serve out the food.
When they ordered before, everyone was so considerate for Ye Qing Xin’s pregnancy so they order more light-flavored food.
Ye Qing Xin is touched because based on her experience, she never be easy to approach but at Pear studio she feels that they are part of her family.
Previously she didn’t plan to invite them, she just said that she waited for the invitation just for avoiding awkwardness. But now she changes her mind.
In the past she was alone, perhaps she should her way of living and have few friends.
She doesn’t why now she could have a change of heart, it’s possible because of her relations.h.i.+p with Jing Bo Yuan. Love changes her, or perhaps because of Si Ming Jing and two others inadvertently cares towards her. It touches her heart.
After three of them know about her pregnancy, they don’t drink. They just eat. Si Ming Jing has a baby, she knows what is good for the baby. So she orders food that is good for pregnant woman.
“Oh right.” Han Huo Huo remembers something, she says to Ye Qing Xin: “You win the compet.i.tion right, there will be a fas.h.i.+on show abroad, how can you go if you are pregnant?”
Ye Qing Xin has been thinking about this.
“Can the designer no come? Or perhaps find a subst.i.tute.” If she cannot find a solution, she might asks Jing Bo Yuan’s help.
Though it’s important for her to depend on herself to progress but for her currently the kids inside her are far more important. But she feels she shouldn’t give up chance to success because of the kids. She thinks that Jing Bo Yuan will not refuse to help her.
“I’m not sure whether they will allow it or not. You should ask them and explain your condition. I think they will allow it.” Han Huo Huo says. “If they don’t allow it, you can ask Chief Chen’s help. Chief Chen is close with the hosting company.”
“Thank you Huo Huo Jie.” Ye Qing Xin thanks her sincerely.
Suddenly her phone rings.
She takes her phone out. It’s a call from Jing Bo Yuan.
“Let me take this call first.” Ye Qing Xin excuses herself and goes out from the private room then closes the door.
She answers the call.
“I am waiting outside Tang Ge.”
Ye Qing Xin replies: “Em, we will finish soon. Have you eaten your dinner?”
“Em.”
“Then…. see you.” Ye Qing Xin smiles. She looks like a very happy girl.
“Okay.”
Ye Qing Xin hangs up. She turns her head and notices a silent Yu Qing You, who is standing three meters away from her.
This is the first time she meets Yu Qing You again after her miscarriage.
Yu Qing You is wearing a light yellow fur coat and white pants. She is wearing her ankle boot. Her hair is curled and her face is covered with a light make up. She looks refined and elegant. Ye Qing Xin can see the deep hatred from her eyes. It somehow breaks away her beauty.
Ye Qing Xin tighten her hold of her phone.
Their eyes meet each other.
After a while, she smiles: “I heard that Yu Xiao Jie has married to a great husband. Congrats. Your husband should love you so much right? He makes Yu Xiao Jie even prettier than before. Yu Xiao Jie should enjoy the married life right.”
Yu Qing You’s face changes. She comes closer. “What did you say?”
Ye Qing Xin looks at her calmly: “What did I say? Didn’t you listen to me clearly?”
Yu Qing You looks at Ye Qing Xin’s beautiful face. She raises her hand and wants to slap her.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t avoid it but when the hand is about to slap her face.
Yet this time a man with blue jacket pa.s.ses by. It’s a narrow hall and he is careless that he b.u.mps Yu Qing You. Yu Qing You staggers and hits the wall.
Ye Qing Xin looks at her: “How can you be so careless Yu Xiao Jie? You want to hit someone but turns out you are the one feels the slap. You should slap like this……”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t give any chance for Yu Qing You to respond. She clutches Yu Qing You’s left hand and slaps her face.
She doesn’t stop.
Plak! Plak! Plak! Plak!
Four times.
Then Ye Qing Xin pushes her away. Yu Qing You falls to the ground. Ye Qing Xin is so quick.
Ye Qing Xin looks down at her and says coldly: “Last time you pushed me without I knew about it. You killed my two kids. These four slaps are too convenient for you.”
She says it then she notices the man that b.u.mped Yu Qing You before.
She doesn’t know hwy but she feels that he is somewhat familiar. But she couldn’t make out where did she see him.
Yu Qing You’s corner of lips are bleeding. She is in pain.
“Yu Qing You, congrats that you married to a great husband.”
Yu Qing You regains herself and hears Ye Qing Xin’s mocking laughter.
“How do you know? What do you know?” Yu Qing You covers herself and asks her.
Everyone thinks that she is so happy. No one believes that Lou Liang Chen mistreated her. Even when she told Old Madame Sheng about it, she was scolded ruthlessly by her. Old Madame Sheng asks her to be well-behaved.
Ye Qing Xin knows about it. Yu Qing You is suspicious “Is it related to you?”
