Chapter 129
Old Madame Jing: "Ay." She really likes Ye Qing Xin.
She only has one grandson, Jing Bo Yuan. She wants to pass all the responsibilities within the families to him. She kept on waiting for him to find the one but all along he didn’t have intention to get married. She was worried about him. She used to doubt her grandson whether he likes woman or not. She had asked him to go to the hospital to check his health but he acted like he didn’t understand her.
The time Ye Qing Xin appeared, she feels that she is her savior. She even dreams at night that Ye Qing Xin gives birth to chubby grand grandson for her. She is so happy.
Moreover, Ye Qing Xin is beautiful, she studies well. Her temper is gentle but not fragile. She knows about manner. She knows her place well. Except her poor background, there’s nothing bad about her. She is lovable and charming woman.
Old Madame Jing watches Ye Qing Xin’s face and smiles.
Jing Bo Yuan takes a look at his watch and says to his grandma: "Nai Nai, you and Ye Ye should feel tired now. Go home and have a rest."
He takes out his phone and calls their driver to bring the car to the lobby.
Then he stands up: "Let’s go, Nai Nai. I’ll send you down."
Ye Qing Xin takes the egg from Old Madame Jing: "Let me do it. I’m okay. You and Ye Ye can go home and have a rest."
Old Madame Jing indeed feels tired. She says: "Okay, treat your face well. Nai Nai and Ye Ye will go home first."
Ye Qing Xin stands up and wants to send them off.
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and tells her: "Just stay."
Ye Qing Xin: "......"
Old Madame Jing suddenly thinks about something and looks back. She says in serious tone: "You both don’t take any measure on the bed okay? If you both already have one, then hurry up and marry. Give birth to him and I’ll help you to raise him. I guarantee that he will not influence your married life."
Ye Qing Xin, Jing Bo Yuan: "....."
Old Mister Jing coughs awkwardly: "Okay, stop try to control them."
Old Mister Jing is unhappy: "Is it possible that you don’t want to carry a grandson? Wait till my grandson is born, I’ll not allow you to carry him!"
Old Mister Jing: ".........."
Old Madame Jing remembers something and says: "If not you guys can register your marriage first. Anyway Xin Xin has reached a legal marriage age, as for wedding... Xin Xin, are your family members know about your relationship with A Yuan? Choose a day for A Yuan and his Pa to go to your house...."
Jing Bo Yuan cuts her off in a right moment: "Nai Nai, it’s not early anymore. Go home. I’ll arrange this."
Old Madame Jing nods: "then you need to be hurry. Marry Xin Xin, then I’ll also be relived."
Jing Bo Yuan sends both elders down. Before they are about to go out the lobby door, Jing Si comes over. Ye Jun Dong is having a chat with other group of pepole.
"Pa, Ma, you will go home now? Just in time it’s been a long time since I came home too. Can you let me stay home for few days? Jun Dong tonight will go on business trip to Shanghai, Xiao Lin will go to summer camping with his classmates. It’s too boring for me to be all alone at home."
Old Madame Jing smiles: "Mind your words, you are my daughter, how can I not let you go home to stay?"
Jing Si notices Jing Bo Yuan behind the elders. She asks him: "Where is Xin Xin?"
Jing Bo Yuan replies calmly: "She’s upstairs."
Jing Si then says according to her status as Jing Bo Yuan’s senior: "A Yuan, I can understand that young woman sometimes is insensible but today is Ma’s good day. No matter what happened, she shouldn’t fight with the guests. This is a joke. You shouldn’t make thing easy to her, you should lecture her about that when you go home."
Jing Bo Yuan is calm. He looks at Jing Si: "Then Gu Gu thinks what should Xin Xin do? She should endure being scolded, she should endure the slap without reacting and let anyone to step on Jing family’s member?"
Jing Bo Yuan just shows that Ye Qing Xin’s incident is not only involving personal conflict but also about their family’s reputation. Of course they should take action and not let anyone step on their family’s name.
Jing Si smiles: "Of course not."
It’s two o’clock in the afternoon and the sun shines so brightly.
After sending both elders off, Jing Bo Yuan turns his body, he wants to go upstairs. Ye Jun Dong comes out and calls after him: "A Yuan."
"Gu Fu." Jing Bo Yuan greets him.
Ye Jun Dong nods and passes a cigarette to him.
Jing Bo Yuan takes it and takes out his lighter. They both stand outside and smokes.
After a while.
Jing Bo Yuan speaks up: "Gu Fu if you have something to say, just say it."
Ye Jun Dong asks: "you are serious toward Xin Xin?"
Jing Bo Yuan looks at him, he is confused. "Gu Fu, you are worried about her?"
Ye Jun Dong laughs lightly: "Not really. I just want to say a sentence. Xin Xin is a kid with cruel fate, but she is a good kid. You need to treat her well."
After all that little girl has called her Papa for seven to eight years. He remembers the first tie she came to the house. She was just three years old. She was sick for a long time. He had taken care for her for days and nights.
He likes her. She always a smart and beautiful girl. She always obeys and sensible.
But that time he didn’t know how to express his feeling. Because his first love also mistreated by another man, and also a son of Zhou Qiao Qiao and another man, he wasn’t in a good mood. He couldn’t treat well, now he feels indeed he was a cold father.
After he left T city, he was a walking corpse. Everyday he didn’t know what he wanted to do until one day he encountered a woman that resembles his first love. He is reborn.
Previously he also met Zhou Qiao Qiao, after that he keeps on dreaming about a lot of messy things. He also dreams about Ye Qing Xin’s young smiling face, the time she still called him Papa.
Jing Bo Yuan says to him: "No need to trouble Gu Fu to worry. My person, of course I will treat her well."
Ye Jun Dong nods.
Jing Bo Yuan says: "I have things to do, I will go first."
Ye Jun Dong nods and keeps on thinking.
Jing Bo Yuan goes to inside the elevator. The elevator stops at the fifth floor, the door opens. A fashionable woman is standing outside the elevator. At first she didn’t plan to get in but the time she notices the man inside, she gets inside.
The elevator door closes.
That woman moves closer to Jing Bo Yuan’s side and smiles at her. She extends her white hand: "Chief Jing, Hi. I am Li Shu Shu. I am Liu Jia’s daughter. We met at last week business dinner, do you remember me?"
Jing Bo Yuan remembers Liu Jia, he is in building material business. They had cooperation before.
He looks at her face and nods. He doesn’t shake her hand.
Liu Shu Shu feels awkward but very quickly she gathers her mood and smiles. She wants to say more things but this time the elevator stops and the door opens.
Jing Bo Yuan just directly wants to go out.
Liu Shu Shu is startled and follows him.
In the resting area.
Ye Qing Xin is chatting with Gu Qiao. Jing Bo Yuan opens the dor.
Gu Qiao looks at him and immediately stands up to excuse herself: "Someone is here to accompany you, then I’ll leave first. You should compress your face with cold water. It’ll be better soon."
Ye Qing Xin nods: "Thank you, Qiao Qiao Jie."
Gu Qiao smiles: "I’ll leave first." Then she nods at Jing Bo Yuan. She leaves the room.
When she comes out, she comes face to face with Liu Shu Shu. "Shu Shu, why are you here?"
Liu Shu Shu: "I, I am looking for someone....."
Gu Qiao asks her: "you are looking for Jing Bo Yuan?"
Liu Shu Shu’s eyes turn bright," Have you seen him?"
Gu Qiao understands her intention. Gu Qiao smiles: "I’ve seen him. I just accompanied his fiancee to chat. Why, why are you looking for him?"
Liu Shu Shu is startled: "Fiancee?"
Gu Qiao’s smile turns even brighter: "Yes, she is a beautiful woman. We are nothing compared to her. Jing Bo Yuan loves her so much... O, if you want to find him, then get in. They are inside."
Liu Shu Shu lowers her head for a moment and smiles at her: "It’s too inconvenient for me to rush inside. It’s nothing. I suddenly remember that I’ve things to do. I’ll leave first."
Gu Qiao smiles too: "By the chance, I want to go down too, let’s go."
She cuts off one of Jing Bo Yuan’s admire. It is too confusing whether she did it for Ye Qing Xin, or for herself.
Inside the resting room.
Jing Bo Yuan is sitting on the sofa, his gaze fixes on Ye Qing Xin’s swollen face for a moment. He then raises his hand to touch it.
"Is it still hurt?"
Ye Qing Xin smiles and shakes her head.
He wants to say something, but suddenly his phone rings. He just dismisses it and puts it on the other side.
"Why aren’t you answering your phone?" Ye Qing Xin asks.
"It’s unimportant call." Jing Bo Yuan extends his hand and pulls her to his embrace. "Why were you so ruthless to yourself?"
He knows that Ye Qing Xin is not hurt by others.
Just like what he remembers. The time she was seduced by a young man. She could twist that man’s wrist easily. How can those women be her opponents.
Ye Qing Xin smiles: "It’s too urgent. I didn’t care about anything else. Next time I’ll pinch it more lightly." She then asks him: "You know from the beginning that I made my face like this? Also Nai Nai, she seems to notice it from the start."
Jing Bo Yuan says: "I don’t really know how can Nai Nia know. But I know that my Xin Xin will not be bullied easily. Even though there was bullying, you should be the one that bully others."
Ye Qin Xin is confused: "But, don’t you think that I am shrewd, I am full of trick, I am too uncivilized?"
Jing Bo Yuan touches her neck. "I am more relieved because you an act like this. I don’t worry that you will be bullied."
He turns silent for a moment and says: "Even you are uncivilized, but for me you are obedient one that I can enjoy."
Ye Qing Xin’s face turns red and she glares at him.
Jing Bo Yuan smiles. He examines her face. He says with serious tone: "In the future don’t let yourself hurt."
Ye Qing Xin pouts: "I also don’t want this to happen. But that time I hit four people. If they made sensation with it, even though they started it. But their family will attack me because I was the one that hit them. I wouldn’t be a ble to refute, that time I would also make things hard on you guys...."
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her eyes. He says: "Xin Xin, you need to trust me."
Her heart beats quickly and she feels safe because of his assurance.
"You need to trust me". It’s like his promise to her. His promise to protect her.
Ye Qing Xin hugs his neck and pecks his lips. She smiles: "Okay, in the future, I will let our Mr Jing to protect me."
Jing Bo Yuan laughs because of her clever words. He raises and pinches her face lightly.
"The guests should be gone now. When will we go home?"
Jby hugs her and kisses her lips lightly: "Now, let’s go."
They both walk out and the car is waiting outside the lobby door.
On the way home, Ye Qing Xin suddenly remembers about something. She prepares to move to a rental house with Dou Weir. Now it’s a summer holiday. Temporarily she doesn’t need to worry about money. She can make the clothes for the competition in next month.
"Bo Yuan, I’ve something to talk to you."
Jing Bo Yuan: "Em."
"Tomorrow I want to move to Tai Lin area to stay there. I and Dou Weir rent a place there..."
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and cuts her words: "You are telling me or discussing with me?"
These two verbs are really different.
Ye Qing Xin understands his question. If she says "discuss" then supposedly he will see "No." She thinks about it and says: "I’ve made my decision. I am just informing you."
Jing Bo Yuan turns silent.
The atmosphere turns strange.
Ye Qing Xin could notice it. She explains: "I and Dou Weir join a competition that is held by Qing Yan’s corporation. We need to design the clothes within one month. If we both live together, then we can help each other."
"Moreover Tai Lin area is close to textile market. It’s convenient for us."
Jing Bo Yuan is still quiet.
Ye Qing Xin pulls his sleeve and says with pitiable tone; "Bo Yuan...."
After a while.
Jing Bo Yuan speaks up: "Can’t you do it in Nan Shan mansion? For what everything you need, I can ask Auntie Zhang to arrange it. If you want to go to textile market, I can let Driver Lu to drive you there."
Ye Qing Xin let his sleeve go. "But what about Dou Weir? If we stay and live together, we can help each other. The time is too short, we need to do it in shor time. Moreover, how can we live together when we aren’t married?"
All along she considers about this matter.
A woman should be reserved.
Jing Bo Yuan clutches her hand: "Then let’s get married." His tone is calm. It’s like a normal thing to say.
Ye Qing Xin watches his face. She smiles at him: "i haven’t graduated."
It’s a long silence.
They both are silent. Ye Qing Xin doesn’t mention about moving out. Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t mention about marriage.
The car arrives home at three o’clock in the afternoon. A young lady around twenty four to twenty fives with apron come to greet them: "Mister, you are home."
Ye Qing Xin asks Jing Bo Yuan: "She is......"
Jing Bo Yuan answers: "A maid, she just finished her maternity leave."
Ye Qing Xin remembers that Auntie Zhang had mentioned this maid, she is Xiao Jing.
Looking at Ye Qing Xin, Xiao Qing smiles and greets hr too: "Ms Ye."
Ye Qing Xin nods at her and smiles: "Hi."
They get inside. Ye Qing Xin asks her: "Where is Auntie Zhang?"
Xiao Jing says: "Auntie Zhang has some problems, she needs to leave first. Tonight I’ll be the one that cooks. Mister knows about this."
Ye Qing Xin looks at Jing Bo Yuan. He takes off his coat and nods. He hugs Ye Qing Xin’s waist and guides her to the sofa. He orders Xiao Jing: "Give me two packs of ice and two towels."
Xiao Jing is fast to get those things.
Jing Bo Yuan wraps the ice pack on the towel. Then he let Ye Qing Xin to lay down on his thigh. He cautiously compresses her face: "Is it hurt?"
Ye Qing Xin grins from ear to ear: "No."
Jing Bo Yuan frowns and pokes her swollen face lightly. Ye Qing Xin feels the pain at once.
She glares at him.
"If it’s hurt then just say it’s hurt."
Ye Qing Xin is startled.
He always can see through her easily.
Since she was ten years old, she learns to be strong, to hide her feelings. She learns to not express her pain and tiredness. Now it’s a habit for her.
Jing Bo Yuan says to her: "Xin Xin, a crying kid has a milk to drink. In front of me, you don’t need to be strong."
Ye Qing Xin understands him but she jokes: "Then if I cry now, Mr Jing, do you have milk for me to drink?"
Her words provoke him. Ye Qing Xin notices the change on his eyes. He strokes her hair and gets to her neckband: "If you want, I have it."
