Chapter 78
Zhou Qiao Qiao continues: “Xin Xin....”
Ye Qing Xin cuts her off: “Ma, don’t talk anymore okay, have a good rest okay? I’ll take you a glass of hot water.”
The time she wants to go, Zhou Qiao Qiao holds her wrist: “Xin Xin, I’m sorry. Ma is really wronged you. Xiao Guo was in trouble and I could only watch without able to do anything. I am too powerless. I can only depend on you. I have no way out. Xin Xin, don’t you think I am a fail mom?”
Her tears start to fall down.
Ye Qing Xin helps to wipe her tears and says: “Ma, you love Xiao Guo, I also love him. I can understand your feeling. I don’t blame you. You have raised us up. We are one family. In this world, you guys are my only family. No need to care too much.”
Zhou Qiao Qiao says: “Xin Xin, Ma is too selfish. In the future, when I’m gone, Xiao Guo... please take care of Xiao Guo.....”
“Ma, don’t talk that way. I’ll be very angry!”
“Okay, okay, I’ll not talk about it anymore. Sleep, you should be tired too.”
This night, Ye Qing Xin tosses and turns restlessly until the early morning.
The next day she wakes up around eleven o’clcok. The time she hasn’t opened her eyes. She hears Ye Qing Guo’s voice with low volume.
“Sssttt! You guys walk lightly! My sis is sleeping, don’t wake her up!”
“Sssstt! Can’t you go out when you are eating apple? My sister is sleeping, don’t disturb her!”
“Ssstt! Can’t you take things in quietly manner! Don’t disturb my sister, she is sleeping!”
Ye Qing Xin cannot control her smile. This little guy is really likable.
So what if he is Tai Zheng Ting’s son, he will be still her Xiao Guo.
She opens her eyes and sits up. She notices something falls down when she moves. She looks it, it is Xiao Guo’s sport suit.
When she wants to pick it up, Ye Qing Guo runs fast toward her and picks it up. He covers Ye Qing Xin’s body with it. “Sis, Mama said that today is cold. You need to wear more clothes. Don’t freeze yourselves.”
Ye Qing Xin laughs helplessly. She feels happy and strokes his head: “Our Xiao Guo has understood how to care about others?”
“Em Em Em!” Ye Qing Guo nods: “Xiao Guo is great right?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Very great.”
Ye Qing Guo’s eyes turn bright: “Is there any reward?”
Ye Qing Xin finally understands and asks him: “What Xiao Guo wants for reward?”
Ye Qing Guo finally turns coy. He pouts: “Few days ago, sister said that the time you pick me up, you will buy me a lot of milk chocolate......”
“It’s okay to buy you. But you should promise that you can only eat two bar a day.”
Ye Qing Guo agrees: “Okay, okay, okay. Let’s buy it now!”
Zhou Qiao Qiao intervenes: “Xin Xin, don’t buy too much for him. He will have a toothache later on.”
“Em, I get it. Ma.”
Ye Qing Xin goes to the bathroom to clean up herself and takes out her backpack that has one million.
One million that she retrieved from Auntie Wen’s card.
At first she wants to give it to Li family for them to give chance so she can treat her mother. Since it’s no use, she should return it back.
Ye Qing Xin let Ye Qing Guo carries it, she pats it and asks: “Is it heavy?”
That naive boy just carries it and doesn’t know what’s inside the bag.
Ye Qing Guo just laughs and shakes his head: “Not heavy.”
As long he will get chocolate, nothing will be too heavy.
They both leaves.
The nurse that helps Zhou Qiao Qiao to eat apple says to her: “Ay, you are really lucky! You have a good daughter!”
Zhou Qiao Qiao smiles.
That nurse says again: “You daughter is close to the mayor. It’s usually so hard to meet mayor, but last two night in the middle of night, the mayor came by to visit you. All the hospital directors also came over. The mayor instructed them to take a good care of you. Your family is raising high!”
Even though she could hear her praise but Zhou Qiao Qiao feels it’s not pleasant to hear?
It seems she is saying that her daughter has unimaginable relationship with the mayor.
Her face turns cold but she smiles: “What is raising high? The mayor’s son-in-law is my daughter’s friend. He should take pity on me so ask the mayor for help.”
The nurse is surprised: “Ay! So your daughter is friend with mayor’s son-in-law!”
“If you don’t know it’s better to not say anything!”
“Ay, I just say it why are you become so hostile! I’m not really saying something wrong.....”
The other nurse stops her by shaking her head.
On the other side.
Ye Qing Xin takes Ye Qing Guo to go out to the bank first by taxi to put the money back to the account. They go to the bank inside the big department store.
Ye Qing Guo wants to buy everything. At last Ye Qing Xin becomes strict and just let him buy chocolate and jelly. Ye Qing Xin also buys towel, shampoo, shower gel.
The time they are done, they come out from the department store with a large plastic bag.
Ye Qing Guo is filled with joy.
Whenever he looks there is a little kid, he will avoid it.
Ye Qing Xin always teaches him to be gentle and generous. His incident with Li family’s son, should be a trauma for him.
Ye Qing Xin guides Ye Qing Guo and wants to take taxi back to hospital.
There’s only little taxis in this little area. So it’s quite hard to get one.
After ten minutes, there’s an empty taxi. Ye Qing Xin stops the taxi and opens the car. When she wants to get in, her phone rings.
It’s a call from Jing Bo Yuan.
Ye Qing Xin’s heart is beating so fast. Her face couldn’t help but to smile.
She answers it and at the same time let Ye Qing Guo gets inside the car.
“Xin Xin, I’m at your back.”
Ye Qing Xin turns her head and notices a familiar white land rover.
She pulls Ye Qing Guo who is inside to come out. She apologizes to the driver: “I”m sorry, we still have something to do. We will not take this taxi.”
The driver is well-mannered and just waves his hand.
“Sis, why are we not going with that taxi?” Ye Qing Guo pouts.
“We have another car to get in.” Ye Qing Xin strokes her head: “Later on don’t say anything, okay?”
Ye Qing Guo doesn’t understand: “Why?”
Ye Qing Xin looks at the white land lover is approaching. She has no time to explain. So she just glares at Ye Qing Guo and pretends to be fierce: “Don’t ask for now! Why do you have a lot of why question? Be careful I’ll take your chocolate!”
Ye Qing Guo says: “O.”
The car stops. The car window lowers and she could Jing Bo Yuan’s face. He is wearing his usual formal outfit. He looks so handsome.
This man, starting from yesterday, has became her boyfriend.
It’s not only other man, he is hers.
“Get on.”
Ye Qing Xin opens the door and let Ye Qing Guo to get in. Then she also gets in.
The time she wants to get in, Jing Bo Yuan suddenly says: “Xin Xin.”
Ye Qing Xin looks at him: “Em?”
Jing Bo Yuan pats the seat beside him. “Come, sit down beside me.”
Ye Qing Xin is startled.
The front passenger seat.
Jing Bo Yuan is reminding her about her change of status.
Ye Qing Xin is happy. She doesn’t refuse and just closes the backseat door and opens the front passenger door to get in.
The car starts to move.
Ye Qing Xin suddenly remembers that she hasn’t introduced Ye Qing Guo to Jing Bo Yuan. She speaks up: “Chief Jing, this my little brother, Ye Qing Guo.”
Jing Bo Yuan looks at the road condition then turns his head a bit. He greets him gently: “Xiao Guo, nice to meet you.”
Ye Qing Guo looks at him: “.......”
Ye Qing Xin frowns: “Xiao Guo, Chief Jing is greeting you.”
Ye Qing Guo shows his innocent look: “......”
Ye Qing Xin glares at him and laughs dryly to Jing Bo Yuan: “He is more introvert, he will not talk with stranger. hehe..... Chief Jing, don’t mind it!”
Jing Bo Yuan just smiles and says: “There’s no harm.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and says to Ye Qing Guo: “Xiao Guo, this is Chief Jing. Greet him.”
Ye Qing Guo: “.....”
Ye Qing Xin is really angry. She immediately reprimands him: “What did sister teach you before? Little kid needs to be polite. The time you look at someone that is senior than you, you should greet them right, do you forget?”
Ye Qing Guo shakes his head.
Ye Qing Xin: “Don’t why don’t you greet him? This is impolite, do you know?”
Ye Qing Guo’s face is full of grief.
Ye Qing Xin: “Are you mute? Later on I’ll not let you eat chocolate!”
Ye Qing Guo pouts and cries out. “Sister, you bully me. It’s you that said to me to not talk. You said that if I talk, you will take my chocolate. Now you want me to talk, if I don’t talk, you will take my chocolate. Sister you bully me!”
Ye Qing Xin: “.....”
She is embarrassed. She forgot about it.
“Okay, don’t howl again. Sister is wrong. Sister will not take your chocolate okay? Hurry up greet Uncle Jing.”
Ye Qing Guo just closes his mouth and laughs toward Jing Bo Yuan. He greets him: “Hi, Uncle Jing.”
Jing Bo Yuan just replies “em.”
The car arrives at the hospital and stops in the parking area.
Ye Qing Xin thanks him as usual: “Thank you Chief Jing.” Then she opens the door and comes to the back seat to take out Ye Qing Guo and plastic bags out.
She then goes to the driver’s window, she waves her head. “Goodbye, Chief Jing.”
She is a bit unwilling to part with him.
Jing Bo Yuan opens the car: “Get on. I have something to talk with you.”
Ye Qing Xin: “What is it?”
Jing Bo Yuan just looks serious: “Get on and we will talk.”
Ye Qing Xin then asks Ye Qing Guo: “Sis and Uncle Jing will chat. You just stand here and don’t go anywhere. Understand? Obey me okay. Today sister will give you one more chocolate.”
Ye Qing Guo is happy and nods.
Ye Qing Xin rubs his hair and she gets in.
She closes the door.
Then she suddenly bumps into a sturdy chest.
Her nose is fulled of his scent. Her face is blushing.
Ye Qing Xin wants to struggle free: “Chief Jing...... you......”
Jing Bo Yuan says hoarsely: “You are my girlfriend, but your brother calls me uncle. Xin Xin, what is it mean?
Ye Qing Xin purses her lips: “Chief Jing, I........”
Jing Bo Yuan cuts her off and corrects her: “Call me Bo Yuan.”
Ye Qing Xin blushes and bits her lips.
Jing Bo Yuan hugs her tightly: “Call!”
Ye Qing Xin’s heart is beating. Her ear is closed to his chest, she also can hear his strong heartbeat too. “Bump bump”.
She says in small voice: “Bo Yuan.......”
Jing Bo Yuan’s eyes turn dark. He raises her chin up. He watches her blushing face, bright eyes, pink lips.
Jing Bo Yuan lowers his head and kisses her lips.
Ye Qing Xin turns stiff. Her hands clutch his suit.
She closes her eyes.
Ye Qing Guo finishes eating his three chocolates. He licks his lip. He wants to continue to eat it, he wants to take another one. Suddenly he remembers that sister said that one day he only can eat two. So he doesn’t do it.
He looks at the car and feels worried. Are they done?
He comes over and knocks the window: “pok pok pok”. “Sis are you done? I’m hungry. Let’s go eat lunch okay?”
“........” No one mind him.
He knocks again.
Everyone looks at him.
After a while, the door is opened.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t say anything and just holds Ye Qing Guo’s hand to wlak away. She walks so fast like a ghost is chasing after her.
“Sis, walk slowly.” Ye Qing Guo protests.
Ye Qing Xin: “......”
Ye Qing Guo notices her sister is weird. He asks: “Sis, are you hot? Your face is really red!”
Ye Qing Xin: “......”
They go back to the hospital room. Auntie Song and Song Jiu are there.
Ye Qing Xin pats her face before she gets inside. She takes a deep breath and orders Ye Qing Guo to not talk recklessly. Then she opens the door.
She greets Auntie Song and Song Jiu: “Auntie Song, Jiu Jiu, you are here!”
Auntie Song then calls them: “Xin Xin, Xiao Guo, hurry up and eat.”
This period of time Auntie Song always takes care of their food. Auntie Song always says that it’s unhealthy to eat food outside so she always cooks for them.
“Wa! Food!” Ye Qing Guo is happy and just put the plastic bag on the sofa and runs to the table.
Auntie Song and Song Jiu has had their lunch before so they sit down on the sofa.
Zhou Qiao Qiao is on the bed and eating her lunch.
Ye Qing Guo and Ye Qing Xin sits down and eat. Ye Qing Guo notices something is wrong. He pokes Ye Qing Xin’s face and says: “Sis, why are you lip is so swollen? Did uncle bully you?”
Everyone looks over.
Ye Qing Xin’s face turns red.
