Ye Qing Guo’s loud and clear voice alarms several fiends. Ye Qing Xin pulls Ye Qing Guo to let his head inside the car.

The time her eyes meet Tai Zheng Ting’s, she is startled.

She remembers about what Tai s.h.i.+ Yun said to her.

Ye Qing Xin says to Driver Lu: “Stop the car on the side.”

Driver Lu stops the car and turns his head to say to her: “What is it, Tai Tai?”

Ye Qing Xin says nothing, she takes out her bank cheque and pen. She fills it in.

Luckily she has no interest to bags. She only brings this bag so she still brings her bank cheque.

Jing Bo Yuan has bought her bag but it’s too expensive.

She fills it in and tears it from the book. She gets off the car and goes to the black car that stops behind their car.

Chen Ting is on the same way as Ye Qing Xin so he drives behind her car.

When he notices that Ye Qing Xin is walking to his car, he immediately gets off the car.

“Jing Tai Tai, what is the problem?”

Ye Qing Xin pa.s.ses the bank cheque to him and points to Tai Zhen Ting. She says “I know that sanitation worker. He owes someone money. Help me to handle it for a while. You should handle it till everything is clear. I don’t hoep that will make troubles for him.”

Chen Ting understands her meaning. He nods: “I get it. Just let me handle it.”

Ye Qing Xin stands beside the car and watches Chen Ting comes over and communicates with those people.

The leader of the gang is talking with Chen Ting. His eyes look surprised but happy. He takes out his phone and call someone. After around twenty minutes, someone comes over with a folder.

Chen Ting reads it and pa.s.ses it to Tai Zhen Ting. When he looks Tai Zheng Ting nods, he gives the cheque to the leader.

When the gang goes away, Ye Qing Xin calls Ye Qing Guo to get off the car. She takes her to Tai Zheng Ting’s front.

Chen Ting helps Tai Zheng Ting to stand up. Tai Zheng Ting looks at Ye Qing Xin.

“Thank you.” He says with hoa.r.s.e voice.

Ye Qing Xin says nothing, she says to Ye Qing Guo: “Go and help Shu Shu to get on the car.” Then she says to Chen Ting: “Thank you, Lawyer Chen.”

Chen Ting: “Jing Tai Tai, you are the modest. This is my duty.”

“Lawyer Chen, you can leave first. I will not delay you anymore.”

Chen Ting says: “Jing Tai Tai, goodbye.”

“I can go home by myself.” Tai Zheng Ting thinks that Ye Qing Xin wants to send him home, he refuses being helped by Ye Qing Guo. He stands up on his one leg. He says: “I also still have work to do.”

Ye Qing Xin looks at Tai Zheng Ting’s appearance. His hair has turned all white, it’s dirty and messy. He has a lot of wrinkles on his face. One of his leg is lame. He is a miserable old man.

The hards.h.i.+p of life has turned him like this.

“Let Xiao Guo treats you a meal.”

“I am not hungry.” Tai Zheng Ting looks at Ye Qing Guo and walks toward the close by sanitation worker car. He starts to tidy up all the messy things.

Ye Qing Xin notices a nearby mini market. She takes Ye Qing Guo to buy several foodstuff. The time they are coming out, Tai Zheng Ting already wants to go.

“Xiao Guo, give these to Tai Shu Shu.”

Ye Qing Guo is confused: “Why?”

Ye Qing Xin strokes his head and says: “You should do this. Hurry up go. Jie Jie will wait here and go home with you lter.”

Ye Qing Guo still doesn’t understand why should he gives something to eat for an uncle that he doesn’t know. But he just follows Ye Qing Xin’s order.

Ye Qing Guo pa.s.ses the plastic bag to the old uncle and runs back to Ye Qing Xin’s side.

Tai Zheng Ting holds it. His eyes turn teary.

Who knows in his most desperate moment, the one that helps him is not his friends, not his spouse, also not his beloved daughters, but the stupid son, who he doesn’t want to recognize, and a woman, that he wanted to trick.

At night.

When Tai Zheng Ting returns to his shabby room, he opens up the plastic bag. He noticed an open biscuit plastic that is filled with something. He opens it and sees a pile of thick red paper money……

His eyes show a remorse mood.

This night, Old Madame Jing arranges a family feast at home.

All Jing family members come over, including Jing Si and her family also the honored guest, Wen Ren Xi.

Jing Suo Suo is holding a bag of potato chips and sitting down on the sofa. She is listening to something and watching a movie.

Ye Qing Xin sits down beside her and leans back on the sofa. She is listening to the conversation between Wen Ren Xi, Jing Xian Xian and Jing Fen Fen’s conversation. From time to time, she peeks at Jing Suo Suo’s handphone to see the movie.

Ye Qing Guo and Ye Lin are in the living room, they are playing around.

Old Madame Jing looks at that moment, she feels so happy. She laughs: “Without kids, family was not lively. Now with Xiao Guo and Ye Lin, it’s really lively. After few months, Xin Xin’s kids will be here, it will be even livelier.

“Fen Fen, Xian Xian, you should go marry quickly and give birth to kids. Then you take them back here to play around. It’ll be great.

Old Madame Jing keeps on saying those words. Jing Fen Fen and Jing Xian Xian are tired of this.

“I know. Can you not urge me every time we meet?” Jing Fen Fen is having a headache.

Jing Xian Xian agrees with her: “Yes Nai Nai. If you keep on doing this, I’ll move out the.”

Old Madame Jing: “Only when you are married, you can move out, if not, you can see what will I do then!”

Jing Fen Fen, Jing Xian Xian: “………”

Old Madame Jing looks at Ye Qing Xin with great affection, then she looks at her granddaughters with full of criticism. She says: “you guys are really useless. You should learn more from Xin Xin. Xin Xin is just twenty one years old but she already is pregnant with three kids. Take a look at yourself. You even don’t have a partner!”

Jing Fen Fen, Jing Xian Xian: “…..”

It’s a moment of silence.

Jing Fen Fen stands up: “I want to go up to watch them play chess.”

Jing Xian Xian also follows her to stand up: “I also want to go.” Then she asks Wen Ren Xi: “Xi Jie, let’s go to together. Er Shu is also playing chess upstair.”

Old Madame Jing wants to match Wen Ren Xi and Jing Yi. Of course she approves this. She says: “I forget about it. Xiao Xi, go follow Xian Xian upstair then. Lao Er is not very well these days. Bring him a cup of Qing Huo tea upstair.”

Wen Ren Xi’s face turns red a bit. She seems to be embarra.s.sed. She just answers: “Em.”

Three of them go upstair and just in time b.u.mps into Jing Bo Yuan then goes downstair.

He nods at three of them. He goes to go to the kitchen and comes out with a gla.s.s of milk.

Tonight there are a lot of foods so it takes some time to get it ready.

“Are you hungry? Drink a bit of milk to fill in your stomach a bit.” Jing Bo Yuan pa.s.ses the gla.s.s of warm milk to Ye Qing Xin.

Old Madame Jing pats her own head when she sees this: “I even forgot about this. It’s great that A Yuan remembers. Xin Xin, should be hungry right? It’s Nai Nai’s bad.”

Ye Qing Xin takes the gla.s.s.

“I’m just a bit hungry. It’s okay, Nai Nai.”

Suddenly those who are playing chess upstair, go downstair.

Old Madame Jing is curious: “What happened? The dinner is not ready yet. Why are you going down?”

Jing Zong says: “Lao Er and Xiao Xi are playing chess upstair.”

Old Madame Jing understands it now and laughs happily.

“Right right, what you did is right. You let them play, let them play for long time.”

Jing Bo Yuan sits down beside Ye Qing Xin and hugs her shoulder.

“Drink it slowly.” Actually Ye Qing Xin doesn’t really like milk, she feels that it’s a bit fishy. But she never says it. She always drinks it quickly and with a big gulp so she can finish it quickly.

Jing Bo Yuan notices this so he reminds her to take it slow.

Ye Qing Xin finishes the milk and wipes her mouth. Jing Bo Yuan takes the gla.s.s from her.

After quite some time.

A maid comes over and tells that the dinner is ready. Old Madame Jing asks: “Go upstair and call Lao Er and Xiao Xi to go down.”

The maid goes upstair and in a little while, Jing Yi and Wen Ren Xi go down. Wen Ren Xi’s cheeks are red and her mouth is a bit swollen and ret.

Looking at this, Old Madame Jing turns to be even happier.

An experienced one can guess what happened with them before.

On the dining table, of course, Jing Yi and Wen Ren Xi are placed to sit together.

During the meal, unprecedented Jing Yi keeps on picking food for Wen Ren Xi with his chopsticks.

Ye Qing Xin watches Wen Ren Xi’s happy and shy expression. She is happy for her. Wen Ren Xi’s twenty years long expectation finally results something.

“Eat. Why are you daydreaming?” Jing Bo Yuan says while he stuffs a crispy skin duck to Ye Qing Xin’s bowl.

Ye Qing Xin regains herself and her leg quietly approach Jing Bo Yuan’s leg. She rubs his leg with hers.

Jing Bo Yuan turns around to look at her.

Ye Qing Xin takes off her slipper and steps on his leg. Her leg from time to time rubs his.

Doing this secretly when they are in public, somehow it makes her feel excited.

Jing Bo Yuan is calm, he doesn’t stop her provocation. He chats with Jing Zong, but from time to time his voice turns deeper.

After the dinner.

The last person puts down their chopsticks, Old Madame Jing just laughs and says to Jing Yi: “Lao Er ah, hurry up go upstair and take Xiao Xi to continue play chess. No need to mind the time. You guys are free. If it’s too late at night. Xiao Xi doesn’t night to go back home. We have a lot of guest rooms. Now I will ask someone to tidy it up.”

This signal makes Wen Ren XI’s cheek turns red, she bites her lips and says nothing

Her silence shows that she silently approves it. It makes Old Madame JIng smiles even happier.

But Jing Yi speaks up: “It’s not good for a woman to stay outside and not go home. I’ll send her home later.”

Old Madame Jing’s face changes. “You also know about this? Then do you know that you are waiting for her for twenty years, do you think it’s good? You still have face to say this to me.”

Wen Ren Xi waits for twenty years for Jing Yi, it’s not a secret. Wen Ren Xi doesn’t feel anything when Old Madame Jing says it out loud. Yet she is somewhat disappointed to hear Jing Yi’s response.

“Let’s decide that way. Tonight Xiao Xi will stay here.” Old Madame Jing says firmly.

“No need Jing Shen Shen.” Wen Ren Xi says it calmly: “I still have to do the account book for my store. In a while, I’ll go home. I’ll come by next time to meet you.”

At last, Wen Ren Xi goes home.

Jing Yi drives the car to send her home.

The car stops in front of Xi Fan (Wen Ren Xi’s store). Wen Ren Xi doesn’t get off the car immediately. She turns around and looks at Jing Yi. This fifty years old man, he is tall and strong. He has no wrinkle yet on his face, he looks like a forty years old man.

“You….” After a long time, Wen Ren Xi s.h.i.+fts her gaze and lowers her head down. “What do you want.”

Jing Yi lowers down the window and lights up his cigarette.

He smokes it and says: “I still have her in my heart.”

Wen Ren Xi hugs Xi Fan (Wen Ren Xi’s cat) tighter. Xi Fan yells lightly in pain. It announces that it hurts but it doesn’t be angry.

“I know.” Wen Ren Xi says lowly.

Then she continues: “So?”

“If you don’t mind it, we can try.” Jing Yi says.

Wen Ren Xi looks at him and smiles. Though her words are hurt by his words but she still smiles: “I don’t mind, we can try.”

Jing Yi turns his head and looks at her.

“I’m afraid that you will regret it.”

Wen Ren Xi smiles brightly and says: “I will not.”

She takes Jing Yi and holds it. She looks at his eyes and says: “I wait for you for twenty one years. Since I was twenty two years old till thirty four years. Tonight can I be your woman?”

She says and slowly moves closer to Jing Yi. She could smell and see this man in near distance.

At last, her lips pecks Jing Yi’s lips.

Jing Yi throws his cigarette away and holds both of her shoulder.

The moon is bright that night. Without both of them knowing, Xi Fan just hops out of the car and sits down on top of the car. It watches the moon on the top of the car.

In Jing family residence.

Behind Jing family residence, there’s an area of peach blossom trees. This time the flowers are blooming.

Jing Bo Yuan’s room is close to that area so from the window that can see the beautiful and stunning peach blossom. The time they open the window, the smell of the peach can be smelt.

Jing Bo Yuan finishes his shower and comes out of the bathroom. He notices that Ye Qing Xin is holding her belly and standing there. She is daydreaming. He comes over and hugs her from behind.

‘What are you thinking?”

She leans back on his body. “The time I returned from the office, I met Tai Zheng Ting, do you know about it?”

That time Driver Lu was there too, Chen Ting was present, also those who silently guarded her. They are Jing Bo Yuan’s eyes. Every action that she takes can easily be known by him with just a call. Perhaps he doesn’t need to even call, those people will report to him.

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t hate the feeling of being watched.

He just wants to know her whereabout, he never wants to intervene her.

Jing Bo Yuan just “em.”

Ye Qing Xin smells the hint of peppermint on his body, she says: “He and our family’s relations.h.i.+p, you should know about it right. Our family could pa.s.s those difficult moments, most of it because of him.

“The first time I met you, I was deceived by him to accompany Chief Huang. You should know that too. But there’s another thing that you don’t know, he used to want to use me.”

Ye Qing Xin can feel that Jing Bo Yuan’s breath changes and his hug turns tighter.

Ye Qing Xin strokes and pats Jing Bo Yuan’s arm and continues: “This is the most important reason why I hate him. For that matter, no one knows except I and him. Even my ma doesn’t know about it until her death. She always thinks that Tai Zheng Ting is really good to our family.

“Tai Zheng Ting used to say obscene words toward me. He did those things that want to force me to be with him. If there’s no you, Bo Yuan. If I didn’t meet you. Perhaps now I will be his.”

“Every time I think about those moment, I am very scared but I also feel very gratified that you appeared the time I needed you.”

During their wedding day, Jing Bo Yuan said that he was sorry that he didn’t appear the time she needed him. Actually, it’s not true. His appearance in her life is the most important and life-turning point for her.

If there’s no him. Ye Qing Xin perhaps for her family, she will be Tai Zheng Ting’s lover. Or perhaps she would go on a life that has no turning back.

“I hate him, I loath him. But last year on December, I noticed that he is living a low and petty life. I realized that I only think of those bad things that he brought to me. And not those moments where he helped me. If there’s no him, I maybe have no chance to enter B university, I also wouldn’t come to Jing City. The most important, I would never know you.”

“Today once again I watched how he was treated and pursued by a group of mean people. I didn’t want to care. But I thought that he is Xiao Guo’s biological father. Xiao Guo was o the car. He watched his own father being beaten yet he didn’t want to help. It’s unfilial. I don’t want Xiao Guo to be an unfilial son, though he don’t know about his father.”

“So I helped him to pay his debt, let Xiao Guo bought several snacks for him and gave it to him.”

Ye Qing Xin turns her body and raises her head to look at Jing Bo Yuan: “Tell me, am I stupid to do that?”

Jing Bo Yuan is calm. He puts his hands on her shoulder. He lowers down his head till he could see her eyes. He touches her nose, he smiles and says: “Yes you are.”
