Chapter 267
She smiles when she notices it’s a call from Jing Bo Yuan.
Dou Weir notices Ye Qing Xin’s happy expression and rolls her eyes.
Ye Qing Xin answers her call.
Jing Bo Yuan says softly: “I have business dinner tonight. You should eat and rest early.” He adds: “I will be home before 09:30 p.m.”
“Em.”
Ye Qing Xin looks very happy.
Dou Weir rolls her eyes again. The time the call ends. Dou Weir pretends to shiver and rubs her arms. She imitates Ye Qing Xin’s way to say “em.” Then she asks: “What are you doing? What did he say? Look at your face, everyone will think that you are eating honey. I even can see the sweetness on your face.”
Ye Qing Xin just tidies up her book. She keeps on smiling.
Jing Suo Suo also notices the happy and joyful expression on Ye Qing Xin’s face, she is quite envy of her.
This time the sky has turned dark.
Three of them don’t take a bus and just walks toward the dining hall. Dou Weir looks around and looks at Ye Qing Xin’s belly. She says: “If not let me send you off to the main gate? I’m worried about you.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and notices that Ming Tian is standing not far from her. Ye Qing Xin says: “She is here, why should you worry?”
After knowing about Ming Tian’s presence, Ye Qing Xin can notice Ming Tian easily even when she is in a big crowd.
Dou Weir looks at Ming Tian and says: “It should be hard for her that she cannot stay far from you. I really wonder does she need to eat or go to the restroom.”
Ye Qing Xin laughs and says: “it’s late, let’s go.”
Today Driver Lu picks her up.
The time she arrives at the mansion, the mansion is empty. There are only Auntie Zhang and Chef Lu. There are no four elders. It’s quiet.
“Did Wai Gong and Wai Po go home before?”
On the dining table, Ye Qing Xin asks Auntie Zhang.
Auntie Zhang answers: “Old Madame Yan and Old Mister Yan went home for a while. They brought something for you then left again. I heard from Old Madame Yan, Gu Xiao Jie is unwell. She doesn’t drink or eat. Everyday she just relies on nutrient fluid. She should have a hard time to accept this reality.”
“She is a good girl, she has a good temper and quite beautiful. She is miserable that she loses one of her leg.”
“I hope that she can meet a good man.” Auntie Zhang says.
Auntie Zhang continues: “Oh right, Old Madame Yan left something for you. Let me take it for you. She asked me to ask you whether you like it or not. Later on you should call her.”
After the dinner, Ye Qing Xin looks at the several plastics on the coffee table.
There’re several little knitted sweaters inside. They are soft and cute. They are suitable for little babies. Ye Qing Xin is predicted to give birth on August. The babies can wear it when they are five months old.
Even though Old Madame Yan is busy for caring Gu Qiao, but she doesn’t forget about Ye Qing Xin. She knits several sweaters for Ye Qing Xin’s unborn kids. Her care makes Ye Qing Xin feels happy.
Ye Qing Xin calls Old Madame Yan.
Old Madame Yan answers it. Her voice is not really good. “Xin Xin, did you see the little sweater? Is the style okay? If it’s okay, Wai Po will knit several more? I want them to wear it.”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t answer her, she asks her back: “What happened to you? Is it because Gu Qiao?”
Old Madame Yan tries hard to control herself: “I’m okay. You haven’t answered Wai Po’s question.”
Ye Qing Xin knows that Old Madame Yan doesn’t want her to worry so she laughs: “I like it so much, Wai Po is really great.”
Old Madame Yan: “It’s great to hear it. Okay, it’s not early, you should rest early.”
The call ends.
Ye Qing Xin just realizes that everyone has long to possess.
Ye Qing Xin and Old Madame Yan just find each other. Of course, she hopes that she can care more about her.
These days Old Madame Yan and Old Mister Yan are busy to take care of Gu Qiao, Ye Qing Xin somehow feels lonely but she has an open mind. She doesn’t want to act selfish.
At night 09:00 p.m.
Ye Qing Xin leans back on headboard and reads a magazine. Then she hears the sound of the car.
After around 10 minutes, Jing Bo Yuan opens the door of the bedroom.
Ye Qing Xin sits up and asks him: “Is the porridge taste good?”
Tonight Chef Lu cooked a chicken soup porridge, it’s cooked for a whole day. It smells good and tastes good. Ye Qing Xin asks Auntie Zhang to heat it on the pot and leaves it for Jing Bo Yuan to eat.
Jing Bo Yuan takes off his watch and puts it down. He looks at him and asks: “Why aren’t you sleeping.”
Ye Qing Xin says: “I want to say something to you. Go and take a shower, I’ll wait for you.”
“Let’s talk tomorrow.” Jing Bo Yuan says.
Ye Qing Xin says: “Let’s talk now.”
Jing Bo Yuan takes a shower in less than ten minutes. He comes out and says to her: “What is it.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and puts down her magazine. She hugs his arm.
“Today I heard an unexpected news. Last year on March, Chen Shu An confessed to me. The time I wanted to reject it. Professor Wu called me to go back to the university. I thought it was pure coincidence, today I just knew it’s man-planned. Tell me, who would be that mean?”
Jing Bo Yuan says calmly: “What do you want to say to me.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles happily and says: “Tell me, is it because he has a crush on me?”
Jing Bo Yuan expresses calmly: “Perhaps he is worried that you will be deceived.”
“Really?” She jokes “How do you know that he was worried about me? I feel that he likes in secret, if not how could he chase after me to T city, what do you think? Jing Xian Sheng?”
Jing Bo Yuan laughs lightly, he sounds happy.
Ye Qing Xin also has a good mood.
“Jing Xian Sheng, it turns out you like me since early time. You really make me feel extremely flattered.”
Her jeering doesn’t make him feel shy, he just looks at her eyes and kisses her lips.
His tongue probes her mouth.
She is not inexperienced woman like she was, she starts to probe inside his clothes and caress it.
Jing Bo Yuan’s breath turns rapid but he is calmer.
Ye Qing Xin kisses his ear and her hands touches his belly. “I really want it, how about you?”
Jing Bo Yuan’s eyes turn dark.
He starts to kiss her sensitive neck.
Jing Bo Yuan restrains himself.
During the passionate moment, Ye Qing Xin suddenly remembers about what Professor Wu asked her to do. She stammers: “B university has their hundred anniversary this September, they want to invite you as guest to give speech to juniors about your success, will Jing Xian Sheng be willing to honor them with your presence?”
She continues: “Em, Professor Wu asked me to ask you. He said that the university sent you the invitation but there’s no reply...”
Jing Bo Yuan suddenly turns furious: “You still have heart to think about another thing?”
Ye Qing Xin bites her lips.
After they are done, Ye Qing Xin doesn’t want to move, she lets Jing Bo Yuan carries her up to the bathroom.
After the shower, she lays down on top of his body. They both don’t wear their clothes. Their skins touch each other, she sighs.
“Bo Yuan.” The light is off.
“Em.”
“What do you think about attending the B university anniversary?”
Jing Bo Yuan hugs her: “I haven’t seen the invitation, I will ask my subordinate tomorrow.”
He agrees.
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “If you don’t want to do it, no one will force you to do it. Don’t do it because of me, of course, I will not stop you if you want to do it.”
Jing Bo Yuan: “you are really considerate of me.”
Ye Qing Xin says: “not only because of you. If it’s me, I also don’t want anyone force me to do anything I don’t like to do.”
Jing Bo Yuan smiles.
For the next days, the weather in Jing City starts to turn warm.
On 5 of April, it’s Tomb Sweeping day. It’s on Sunday.
Sheng family and Yan family elders take Ye Qing Xin to Jing Bo Yuan to visit their family tombs.
It’s the first time Ye Qing Xin sees her own parents. Their photo is placed on the tomb stone. Ye Qing Xin feels complicated.
She burns paper for them and bows down to them three times.
Her tears fall down without her knowing.
“Pa, Ma, thank you.” She sobs. “For giving me two lives.”
Once twenty one years ago, gave birth to her.
Once, eighteen later, gives her hope to live.
Jing Bo Yuan also bows down to Ye Qing Xin’s parents.
Old Madame Yan and Old Madame Sheng also cannot control themselves, their tears also start to fall down.
Old Madame Yan says: “Tong Tong ah, thank you that you protect Xin Xin for eighteen years so she can return home. You also need to protect her so she can give birth to her kids safely. Protect her to live a happy and healthy life.”
Ye QIng Xin says to both elders: “I want to engrave my name on the right side of the tombstone.”
Her name should be there as their daughter.
Both elders are smiling. They agree to this.
When they are done, they get on the car to go home.
Old Madame Yan, Old Madame Sheng, and Song Yu Ning get on Jing Bo Yuan’s car. Three of them sit on the backseat.
Suddenly Old Madame Yan’s phone rings, it’s loud and clear.
She takes out her phone and answers it. “Yan Nai Nai, come hre quickly. Feng family mistreats Biao Jie (older female cousin), they want to cancel the wedding, they also say offensive words....”
Old Madame Yan’s face changes: “You go and take a look of Qiao Qiao, she is unwell now. Don’t let anything happen to here. I’ll be there soon.”
Old Madame Yan says to Jby: “A Yuan, hurry up! Go to the hospital, someone bullies our Qiao Qiao!”
