After ten minutes.

Ye Qing Xin sighs and looks at her sketch. It goes as she wishes it shouldbe.

“Okay, I’m done. Is it good?” Ye Qing Xin pa.s.ses Jing Bo Yuan her sketch.

Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and doesn’t comment. He puts down his own book and tidies up her things too. She puts everything on the coffee table.

“Is it not good?” Ye Qing Xin holds Jing Bo Yuan’s arm. “Honestly, what is not good, let me change it then.”

Jing Bo Yuan helps her to lay down and lay out the pregnant woman pillow. “I am not an expert in this, why should you ask me.”

“Really? I think you know about lots of things. You even can read the ultrasound result.”

Jing Bo Yuan takes the remote to switch off the light and hugs her.

“Don’t think that I’m very great.” He says in the dark.

Ye QIng Xin says to him: “You are really great, I don’t imagine it.”

She adds: “In my heart, you are the best.”

Jing Bo Yuan laughs lightly and holds her even tighter: “Let’s sleep.”

Because of her big belly now, every night she will get up twice to go the restroom.

Every time no matter how careful she is when she gets up, Jing Bo Yuan will wake up and helps her to stand up. He will accompany her to go to the bathroom and helps to arrange the pillow again for her.

Ye Qing Xin is happy and thankful for him.

On Sat.u.r.day morning, Ye Qing Xin is interviewed by Jun Le at one of the coffee shop. For attracting readers, Jun Le also prepares some private questions, but Ye Qing Xin is smart, she makes a vague remark.

The interview goes smoothly.

Ten days later, the Dong Fang fas.h.i.+on magazine is published and shows a special section for fas.h.i.+on interview. It carries a story about Ye Qing Xin and her photo, when she was in the coffee shop. She looks so pretty. It only shows her top part of the body.

For that interview, Le Jun especially goes to B university to understand more about Ye Qing Xin to attract more public eyes too. She describes Ye Qing xin as ‘B university innocent campus belle’, ‘top-student’, ‘talented designer’.

As for the gossip that she has an affair, or mistress, she doesn’t show it off.

Ye Qing Xin is happy to see the interview about herself but she doesn’t feel arrogant about it.

The day after the magazine is published, she gets a call from Le Jun. Le Jun tells her because of her willingness to be interviewed, the magazine is old out. It’s a first time in so many years.

Ye Qing Xin is a bit surprised.

“Xin Xin, I feel it’s really wasteful to not enter entertainment industry when you have that kind of face.” Dou Weir says to her while swaying the magazine on her hold. They are on the way back to the dorm after the lunch. “Though this photo doesn’t show the same beauty as me, but every man should like it. There are too many patterns in beauty. There’s one like me, who is pretty and flirtatious, Xin Xin is the opposite me, she is innocent type….”

“Then what about me? What is my type?” Jing Suo Suo intervene.

Dou Weir looks at Jing Suo Suo and says seriously: “You belong to the one that has self-confidence.”

“What do you mean?”

Dou Weir: “I mean that you have a great self-confidence. It’s really great.”

She is startled for a while, Jing Suo Suo lays down and prepares to sleep. Then she realizes what Dou Weir means, she is a bit unhappy to hear it. She sits up and says: “What is so ugly about me?”

“When did I say that you are ugly?”

“Then you said that I have self-confidence…..”

“Don’t you have self-confidence?”

“…..”

At night when the cla.s.s ends.

Ye Qing Xin tidies up her books and asks Dou Weir: “Later on what will you do?”

“No, nothing. What are you planning?”

“I want to go to the department store to buy something, can you accompany me?”

Dou Weir looks at Ye Qing Xin’s big belly. “You carry three kids, why should you go to the department store, you can just your maid to buy it for you?”

“It’s nothing, will you go with me or not? If you don’t, I’ll go by myself.”

“I’ll go, I’ll go. With you like this, how can I let you go by yourself.”

“Where will you guys go? I also want to join.” Jing Suo Suo says.

Dou Weir: “We will go to the department store to buy something, will you go?”

Jing Suo Suo: “I also want to buy present, I will go with you guys.”

Ye Qing Xin: “What present do you want to buy?”

Jing Suo Suo pursues her lips and says: “In two days, it’ll be Cheng Da Ge’s birthday.”

“Cheng Da Ge?” Dou Weir looks at Jing Suo Suo then Ye Qing Xin, “Is that the handsome Ge that you sketched?”

Ye Qing Xin says nothing, JIng Suo Suo is embarra.s.sed, she blurts out: “Don’t talk too much. Let’s go, let’s go. The sky will turn dark soon.”

Before the cla.s.s ends, Jing Bo Yuan has called and said that he will come home late later. Ye Qing Xin calls Old Madame Yan and says that she will not be home for dinner. Old Madame Yan urges her two sentences and hangs up.

After several forty minutes, Driver Lu stops the car in the lobby of the department store.

Ye Qing Xin gets off the car and says to Driver Lu: “We possibly will stroll for a long time. You can go home first and have dinner.”

Driver Lu smiles and replies: “Tai Tai, no need to mind me. I can eat randomly nearby.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles and says nothing else.

Three of them go inside the department store and go the top floor to have dinner first. Then they go to the fifth floor for man’s speciality goods.

Jing Suo Suo looks around.

“Have you thought what do you want to buy?” Dou Weir looks that Jing Suo Suo is confused. She knows that Jing Suo Suo still doesn’t know what she wants to buy.

Dou Weir: “You are strolling without direction, how long will it take? Xin Xin will be tired. Right, Xin Xin?”

The time she says it, she turns her head to get Ye Qing Xin’s approval. But she notices that Ye Qing Xin is looking at a man’s belt very intensely. She looks like she wants to buy it.

“Xin Xin, you also want to buy present?”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t deny, she examines each of the belts. “Tomorrow is Bo Yuan’s birthday.”

Dou Weir is startled. “Tomorrow? Are you joking? Tomorrow is June 1st, it’s Children’s Day. Your Big Boss Jing seems to be born as he wishes.”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t mind her and just asks her: “What about this? This one looks good, it is suitable for formal event.”

“If you think it’s great, then it’ll be great. As long as you are the one that gie sit, even though it’s ugly, I think he will not say anything.”

“You are too over.”

“I am not. If you don’t trust me, what about if you try?”

Ye Qing Xin says: “Stop.”

Ye Qing Xin then calls the sales a.s.sistant: “Just this one, help me pack it.”

Jing Suo Suo watches Ye Qing Xin buys a belt. Her eyes turn bright and wants to buy belt too. Dou Weir notices it and says: “Why should you follow Xin Xin? You can buy necktie or tie clip. That cuff links are good too.”

“But……. I think buying belt will be even better.” Jing Suo Suo looks at the belts.

“You can buy whatever you want, we also don’t give it to the same person. It’s okay.” Ye Qing Xin notices that Jing Suo Suo is confused so she comforts her.

Jing Suo Suo’s eyes turn bright once more. “Really? Then I want this one. Help me to pack this one.”

Ye Qing Xin looks at the belt that Jing Suo Suo chose, it’s a bit gaudy and really suitable for Cheng Ru Yu’s style.

“Will you guys pay together or……”

“We will pay separately.” Jing Suo Suo takes out her back card.

“Yours will be 18990 Yuan.” Then sales a.s.sistant says to Ye Qing Xin: “Yours will be 7478 Yuan.”

Jing Suo Suo trembles.

“Mine is that expensive?”

The sales a.s.sistant smiles and explains very articulately. “The one that choose is the newest design. Moreover, the buckle has a bit of diamond that use the most exquisite craft effort. It’s more luxurious then others.”

Jing Suo Suo wants to say something, for a while she cannot respond.

Before she noticed that the buckle is really suitable for Cheng Ru Yu. She thought that it will be several thousand Yuan. She didn’t expect that it’ll be so expensive.

Though she is rich but…. Ji Yi has controlled her strictly. Every month, her allowance is limited. Moreover her father is in bureaucracy department. He doesn’t allow her to live an extravagant life. She has a simple life.

Ye Qing Xin notices Jing Suo Suo’s face and thinks that she might not have the money. “If not let’s pay together again.”

“No need.” Jing Suo Suo opposes: “I will pay for it. How can I give it as a present if you pay for it.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles and doesn’t say anything.

They both pay. Jing Suo Suo’s face is sad when she puts her wallet inside her bag again.

“What is it? You want to pursue a handsome man and you worry about your money?” Dou Weir jokes.

Jing Suo Suo sighs and says: “It’s my money that I saved from my allowance for two months. In just a glance, I just spent it. Isn’t it difficult.”

“You have Lamborghini, you can just sell it.” Dou Weir says.

“I rather not have a man, I also will not sell my car!” JIng Suo Suo says: “I don’t know when a man will have a change of heart, a car will not have a change of heart.”

Her words somehow pokes on Dou Weir’s mental state. Dou Weir’s smile disappears, Jing Suo Suo notices this.

Jing Suo Suo asks Ye Qing Xin: “What happened to her? She seems to be unhappy.”

Ye Qing Xin looks at Dou Weir and doesn’t answer Jing Suo Suo’s question. She just says: “Maybe she thinks of something that makes her unhappy.”

Three of them are walking, suddenly Dou Weir stops.

“Weir, what happened to you?” Jing Suo Suo asks confusedly.

Ye Qing Xin looks over and looks that nearby there’s a couple. She finally understands what makes Dou Weir stops.

He Ji Fan is there with a woman.

“You are looking at He Da Ge? What is so good-looking about him?” Jing Suo Suo looks at them. “He Da Ge changes his girlfriend once more?”

“Previously for a long time, He Da Ge didn’t have a woman beside her. I heard from Yi Yi, that time he had a pretty and flirtatious woman, he was so enchanted by her. I never met that woman but that woman should be so pretty. If not He Da Ge will not stay with no woman for several months.”

“Recently I don’t know why, he starts again to change girlfriends like he is changing clothes. Ay, tell me, is he dumped by that woman?”

Ye Qing Xin just tries to s.h.i.+ft the conversation: “It’s late, let’s go.”

Dou Weir just regains herself and says nothing, she just follows them.

When they take the elevator down, there’re only three of them. But Jing Suo Suo feels something is wrong, her face shows her urge to gossip. “Do you know? That He Da Ge hasn’t married too but he has a son. Do you know who gave birth to his son? The one that just gets its popularity. On TV she always looks s.e.xy and cute, but in private she has an illegitimate son.”

“Suo Suo.” Ye Qing Xin cuts her off. “When is Cheng Yi Sheng birthday? Are you planning to plan a birthday party for him?”

“Ah? Cheng Da Ge? I will not. I heard that recently he is so busy. Do you know about the accident that happened two days ago at Zhong Shan bridge. All the victims were sent to Jing He hospital. Every day he is so busy that he has no time. I will just buy a small cake during his birthday. Then I will take it and the present to his office. I’ll give him a surprise.

Jing Suo Suo’s eyes are bright when she explains her plan.

The elevator stops at the first floor.

Dou Weir holds Ye Qing Xin’s arm.

Ye Qing Xin’s phone suddenly rings. She takes out a phone and looks the ID caller. It’s a call from Jing Bo Yuan.

She answers: “Hi, Bo Yuan.”

“You are not home yet?”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “I’ll be soon. Are you home yet?”

“Em.”

“The wait for me. I’ll be back soon.”

“No need to be rush it. Let Driver Lu drive carefully.”

“Okay, I know. I’ll hang up first.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles when she puts away her phone.

“My Ge really cares about you.” Jing Suo Suo says with envy.

Ye Qing Xin smiles.

Three of them go out of the department store. At first, Ye Qing Xin wants Driver Lu to send Dou Weir and Jing Suo Suo home first. Then she will go back home. But Dou Weir and Jing Suo s...o...b..th insist to take taxi back home on their own. Ye Qing Xin doesn’t force them and just reminds: “Be more careful.”

Driver Lu waits for her in front of the lobby.

“How do you know that we will be here?”

Driver Lu smiles: “Xian Sheng just called me before.”

Ye Qing Xin nods and says nothing. She feels happy.

She arrives at Nan Shan mansion twenty minutes later.

When she is still on the car, she notices a tall figure waiting for her near the door. He is still wearing his white s.h.i.+rt, that he wore this morning. Ye Qing Xin thinks that he hasn’t came inside the house.

Ye Qing Xin gets off the car and just runs toward him. She hugs him.

“You are waiting for me?”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t respond to her question, he asks her: “Why weren’t you coming home after the cla.s.s?”

Ye Qing Xin says: “I went to stroll with Dou Weir and Suo Suo in a department store. Didn’t you say that you’ll be home late today?”

“I finish early so I just go home.” Jing Bo Yuan takes her inside. He notices that she doesn’t bring anything home. “Why didn’t you buy something?”

Ye Qing Xin jut holds her backpack and smiles: “I didn’t find the one that I like.”

“You are very economized.” Jing Bo Yuan says.

“Isn’t it good? In the future, you don’t need to be worry that I’ll dissipate a family fortune.”

“Be careful of the steps.” Jing Bo Yuan reminds him. Ye Qing Xin doesn’t even look at the stairs. She doesn’t have worries when she is with him.

“It’s okay to dissipate a family fortune.” Jing Bo Yuan says: “I can support you.”

Ye Qing Xin is startled and just wants to say something but Jing Bo Yuan is quicker in responding. “If you like anything just buy it. No need to care about the money.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Okay.”

The next day, Children’s Day. Ye Qing Xin receives a lot of blessing messages. These two years, everyone seems to think that she is still a child.

In the afternoon, there’s a PE lesson, she asks for a day leave with the teacher.

Every teacher knows about Ye Qing Xin’s condition, they also knows about her great Uncle so they don’t make things hard for her.

Ye Qing Xin calls Driver Lu to pick her up. Before she hangs up, she order: “Don’t tell Xian Sheng that I go home early.”

Driver Lu agrees.

She also orders Ming Tian about it. Ming Tian nods.

She arrives home at 04:00 p.m. Yesterday Ye Qing Xin had secretly told Chef Lu about the menu today. Chef Lu nows is preparing for the dinner. Ye Qing Xin comes inside the kitchen and walks around. Then she takes pruning scissors and goes to the garden to pick roses.

“Tai Tai you want to pick the roses? Let me do it.” Auntie Chi wants to help.

Ye Qing Xin smiles and refuses: “no need, I can do it. The things that I asked you to buy, have you bought it? Help me to take it to the dining room.”

Old Madame Yan has stayed at Nan Shan mansion for long time. This morning she told Ye Qing Xin that she will be going home for two days. At first, Ye Qing Xin was worried about how can she ask her Wai Po to give them s.p.a.ce. This makes her relieved.

She cuts off thirty five roses. Ye Qing Xin let Auntie Chi helps her to move a chair for her. She just sits down there and cuts off the leaves and thorns cleanly.

“Tai Tai, you want to have a candlelight dinner with Xian Sheng?” Auntie Chi asks.

Ye Qing Xin blushes but she doesn’t answer. She just shows her bashful expression. It’s clear.

After she finishes, Auntie Chi takes a flower vase for the roses. Ye Qing Xin covers the table with a brand-new cover and puts the vase on the middle of it.

Two days ago, Ye Qing Xin asked Auntie Chi to buy a table cover, candlestick and candles. She didn’t forget to ask for beautiful plates.

04:50 p.m. Ye Qing Xin receives a call from Jing Bo Yuan. He tells her that he will be a bit late. He asks to eat dinner first.

Ye Qing Xin asks: “What time will you finish?”

Jing Bo Yuan is silent: “Around seven.”

Ye Qing Xin: “Then I’ll wait for you.”

Then she just hangs up.

Jing Bo Yuan is startled and returns to the meeting room.

Jing Bo Yuan says to everyone in the meeting room, “The meeting needs to end thirty minutes earlier.”

Because of his request, everyone starts to be so precise in their explanation.

06:30 p.m.

The meeting ends on time.

The one that reports last is financial affair manager because she didn’t get much time, she feels so tired after giving the report.

“Didn’t it say that the meeting will end around 07:00 p.m. why did it finish earlier?” Someone ask.

“He should want to go home early?”

“How do you know about it/”

“Is it hard to guess. Our boss just got married. Because of this, have you seen that he works overtime? Every time he will go home on time, why? It’s because he wants to go home and accompany his wife. Today he just rushes it more, that should be the reason.”

“I really didn’t expect that our serious boss can love his wife so much. In the past, every month for at least twenty days, he will stay at his office room. After business dinner, he would return to the office again to finish his work. I thought that his wife will be stayed at home while he is away. I really wonder who is his wife.”

“Do you guys remember that several months ago, there’s a hickey on Chief Jing’s neck? Our lady boss should be great.”

“Great” means that she is great at something that every adult should know.

Everyone starts laughing. Everyone is full with an urge to gossip. Someone suddenly speaks: “The company strictly prohibits comments about boss’ private matter. You guys as leader of department, don’t know about this?”

Their laughters are gone.

All of them looks over and notices that the one that talked is Bo Wei’s vice chief, Qu Qi.

“Chief Qu, you are still here? I thought you left already. I was joking, please forgive me…..”

Qu Qi smiles insincerely and says: “I left and you guys can chat about your boss as you wish?”

“I don’t mean that way.”

Qu Qi smiles and says: “I’m just joking. Why are you guys so serious. It’s late, leave.”

He says and and leaves.

Everyone else starts to tidy up everything and says nothing else. Though Qu Qi says that he is joking but no one thinks that he is.
