Chapter 119 (1/2)

The car starts to move.

The atmosphere in the car turns serious.

Jing Bo Yuan’s phone vibrates. He takes out his bluetooth earphone and puts it inside his ear to answer the call.

Jing Bo Yuan just says: “I have something to do. You can just accompany Wang Heng. Before the business dinner ends, mention about the project to him, but don’t make it too tense…..”

He hangs up. Then the other call comes.

Just like that he keeps on having a call. After four to five calls, finally his phone turns quiet.

Ye Qing Xin sits down quietly on her seat. After a while, the car stops in front of Nan Shan mansion number 8.

The moon is high above in the sky.

The car gets inside the garage and Jing Bo Yuan parks the car. He look stern and terrifying.

He doesn’t say anything and just opens the door.

Ye Qing Xin purses her lips and follows him to get off the car. She follows behind him quietly.

She cannot imagine what has happened between them that makes…. Jing Bo Yuan can respond like this.

Jing Bo Yuan walks steadily. From Ye Qing Xin’s angle, he looks like his usual self.

Jing Bo Yuan opens the door by his fingerprint and turns off the light.

Jing Bo Yuan then goes to the sofa to smoke. Ye Qing Xin comes over after changing her shoes.

Ye Qing Xin remembers in the past time, Jing Bo Yuan’s mother came over once. The time she came here, he also sat down on the sofa and smoked.

She comes over and sits down beside him. She could smell the strong scent of cigarette.

Ye Qing Xin watches Jing Bo Yuan. She smiles: “Bo Yuan, have you eaten your dinner? Let me cook you a bowl of noddle okay?”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything and doesn’t look anything. She clutches his big hand so he clutches back.

Ye Qing Xin keeps on smiling. She raises up her two fingers and swears: “This time I will definitely will not break your bowl again!”

She is charming and mischievous.

Jing Bo Yuan seems to find her funny too. His gaze turns gentle. He strokes her head and says: “Go.”

Ye Qing Xin takes her hand and stands up. She thinks about something, she then bends over to clutch Jing Bo Yuan’s face. She kisses her lips and runs to the kitchen.

Jing Bo Yuan smiles unconsciously. He starts to remember the past.

Fourteen years ago. It”s like a thorn. It’s impossible for him to get rid off it.

That woman stabs him with a knife without expression. That woman screams madly: “Jing Bo Yuan! You should die! Why are you not dead! Why it’s not you! I shouldn’t give birth to you!!”

“Jing Bo Yuan! One day I’ll let you try the taste of losing someone that you love!”

Jing Bo Yuan takes off his coat and undoes his tie. He also unbuttons two top button of his shirt. He keeps on smoking and looks serious.

After a while.

There’s a crashing sound from the kitchen.

Jing Bo Yuan comes over.

He notices the white porcelain bowl is smashed into pieces. The noddle and soup are also scattered everywhere. That woman is panic as she looks at the mess. She looks at him with her innocent expression and feels embarrassed.

That man comes over quickly to her and doesn’t mind the mess. He directly takes her hand and examines it. He tries to find if she is okay or not.

He then let her hand go and strokes her head. He doesn’t say anything and just takes a rag to wipe the mess.

Ye Qing Xin looks at him and she feels embarrassed because of it. She kneels down and wants to snatch the rag. “Let me do it.”

“The kitchen is small. It cannot stand to be tormented by you like this.”

Ye Qing Xin is blushing and speaks haltingly: “This bowl is too slippery….”

Jing Bo Yuan chimes in with serious tone: “Em, it’s all the bowl’s mistake. It’s not our Xin Xin’s mistake.”

Ye Qing Xin: “……”

This man is really great at making people angry.

Ye Qing Xin pouts and then smiles. He is more amiable and easy to approach.

She comes closer and kisses his cheek: “Then sorry to trouble our Mr Jing. I’ll help you to cook another bowl.”

After ten minutes.

Ye Qing Xin successfully presents her vegetable and eggs noddle dishes. The time Jing Bo Yuan eats, Ye Qing Xin just watches him.

Ye Qing Xin’s gaze falls on Jing Bo Yuan’s lips. Suddenly she blushes.

Don’t know why she is imagining his lips on her body.

“What are you thinking?”

Jing Bo Yuan finishes his food.

Ye Qing Xin is surprised: “No, Nothing.”

After a silence.

Ye Qing Xin raises her head and looks at his sharp gaze.

“Are, are you done? Let me wash the dishes…”

Ye Qing Xin wants to take his bowl but her wrist is clutched.

Next moment, her whole body is pulled to his embrace.

“What are you thinking about? Your face is so red.”

Ye Qing Xin avoids his gaze: “I want to wash the dishes. Let me go…..”

Jing Bo Yuan sits down on his chair and carries her up.

Looking at her blushed face, he smiles and kisses her forehead. He lets her go and takes the bowl and chopsticks from her.

“Go take a shower and sleep earlier. Let me do this.”

“Let me do it. You should be tired all day…..” Ye Qing Xin hasn’t finished and Jing Bo Yuan’s phone just rings.

She smiles: “Answer your phone. When you are done, I’ll finish too.”

Jing Bo Yuan strokes her head and goes to answer his call.

The time she is finished, Jing Bo Yuan is still on call.

She then goes upstairs.

She notices another suitcase on the sofa inside the room. They are just back from Hong Kong. They haven’t gone home before so they haven’t tidied up their things.

Ye Qing Xin tidies up their things and puts all back to the wardrobe. She also places the box of emerald jewelry inside the bedside cupboard. She also puts the suitcase back. Then Ye Qing Xin sits down on the sofa and looks at the man’s watch box on her hand.

She forgets that she bought him a watch.

This time.

She hears a noise outside.

Ye Qing Xin put the box inside the drawer and walks to the door.

Jing Bo Yuan opens the door and she just hugs his arm.

He looks at her smiling face: “Why haven’t you take a shower?”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t say anything and just pulls her to the sofa.

“I just tidied up our suitcase, I haven’t showered.”

“Close your eyes.” Ye Qing Xin let him sit down on the sofa.

Most people will ask “why” but Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything and just closes his eyes.

Next moment.

He could feel that this woman takes off his watch. He could guess what will she do. Soon, he feels slight chill in the air on his wrist.

Ye Qing Xin clasps the watch then kisses Jing Bo Yuan’s cheek: “Okay.”

Jing Bo Yuan opens his eyes and looks at the brand-new watch. He raises his head and looks at Ye Qing Xin. He smiles. “What is this?”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “For you. I suddenly turn from poor to young woman. It’s your effort. It’s my token of appreciation for you, do you like it?”

Jing Bo Yuan looks at it and asks: “Just this?”

Ye Qing Xin is startled and she is confused. She just answers: “Yes.”
