Chapter 147 (1/2)

Connie doesn’t talk in roundabout way. She just directly tells her situation, she express her liking to her and talks about her purpose to call her.

If she is a real one and her invitation is sincere, Ye Qing Xin feels that she is very frank and honest person.

But she is not someone that believes anyone easily, especially stranger. Moreover, she also learns from Dou Weir’ past mistake. She thinks about it, she refuses it in polite way. “I am not graduate yet, I want to focus on more study.”

The caller laughs: “You don’t believe me right. I can understand it. Tomorrow I have an art exhibition tomorrow at one of art gallery. You can come over and look around, perhaps we can chat.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “If I have time, I’ll go.”

She means that she might not go.

But the caller doesn’t force her, she just says: “Sometimes success not only needs effort and talent, it also needs courage and grasping your chance. I see that you don’t have any wild ambition, if not you would not join the competition too. Do you agree?”

The call ends. Ye Qing Xin looks at the window.

The internet explains Connie is not only a famous fashion designer but also a photographer. She holds a lots of art exhibitions domestic and international.

She also checks that indeed Connie has held an art exhibition at Jing City art gallery through PGC. PGC is the domestic photographer website. It shows a lot of domestic majority photographers’ news.

This makes Ye Qing Xin hesitates. She tries to look for Connie’s photos, but there’s no photo of her even her real full name. How can she be sure that she is Connie?

“Xin Xin, what are you doing? You have lift this slice of meat with your chopsticks for half day, will you eat?” On the dining table, Dou Weir knocks at Ye Qing Xin’s chopstick with her own chopsticks.

Ye Qing Xin puts down her chopsticks. “I have no appetite.”

“But you still need to eat. Now you are pregnant with royal offspring. You are not alone. You don’t want to eat, but you should eat a bit for the royal offspring inside your belly right?”

Then Dou Weir serves her a bowl of clear soup: “I already sacrificed myself to eat this kind of plain and bland food. I even eat this simple meat dishes. I followed it all, hurry up eat it.”

“Then do you think I need to go or not?” Ye Qing Xin asks: “Now I quite understand your feeling before. Indeed it is too fascinating. Connie ah. The most famous top class fashion designer. She unexpectedly called me. Only one fifth of designers can work at Pear. Tell me a rookie like me, how can she notice me?”

“If not you want me to accompany you?” Dou Weir pats her chest. “If you are afraid that someone with bad intention lie to you, I’m with you. I will protect you.”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t answer, she just thinks.

Dou Weir says: “No need to be so confused. She can take fancy of you. She should be noticing your talent. You should have something special. Tomorrow let’s go and see. There’ll be a lot of people in art gallery, why should you be so afraid?”

After the dinner, Dou Weir doesn’t go home. She just lays down on the sofa and calls her Nai Nai.

Ye Qing Xin also lays down on the sofa and calls Zhou Qiao Qiao. She chats for her for a while. Ye Qing Xin then talks about the main point that she wants to talk. “Ma, I suddenly want to get married, do… you have any comment?”

Her mother should know that she wants to marry, unexpectedly she didn’t call her to ask her about it. Ye Qing Xin is somewhat felt neglected.

Zhou Qiao Qiao coughs.

“Ma, are you okay?” Ye Qing Xin could notice her pain. She feels worried abouut her.

After a while, Zhou Qiao Qiao becomes calmer. “Xin Xin wants to get married. Mama of course is happy for you. In the future there will be a man that will protect you both. Mama is at ease….” Then she starts to cough again.

“Ma, this time you come here with Xiao Guo, you shouldn’t go back again.” Ye Qing Xin says: “Jing City has a lot of special education school. Let Xiao Guo goes to school here, you stay here. So I can take care of you.”

She doesn’t know how long her mother will live. Ye Qing Xin suddenly feels that she is not up to standard daughter. After her mother diagnosed for the terminal illness, she seems to never take care for her too much.

Zhou Qiao Qiao laughs: “Let’s see.”

“Ma….”

“It’s okay, I’m okay. I always be afraid to not call you because I am afraid that you will hear me coughing and let you be worried. Mama is okay. As long you and Xiao Guo can live well, Xin Xin, I’ll hand over Xiao Guo to you…..”

Zhou Qiao Qiao has repeated that last sentence for several times.

The calls ends.

“What are you daydreaming about?” Dou Weir has ends her call and looks at her: “Your Big boss Jing is not here, can I stay here tonight? I can sleep on the sofa, or even on the makeshift bed.”

Ye Qing Xin: “……….”

“My Nai Nai’s health is getting better, now she can get off the bed, she also can eat by herself……”

“I’ll go back and have a shower. Then I’ll come over again to accompany you to sleep.”

Dou Weir wears her slippers and goes out. Before she goes out, she blows her a kiss: “Beauty, wait for me to come back.”

Ye Qing Xin: “……”

“Mrs, you also need to take shower and rest early. A pregnant woman needs a good rest.”

Ye Qing Xin nods and goes back to her room to take her dress and has a quick shower.

The time she has shower, Auntie Zhang knocks the bathroom’s door: “Mrs, it’s Mister’s call.”

Ye Qing Xin wipes the water from her face and goes to the door to take the phone.

“You are not asleep yet?”

“Em. It’s still early.”

“Tomorrow afternoon we will arrived at T City.” Jing Bo Yuan says: “After two days, we will return, I’ll be back soon.”

His tone is very calm.

She smiles.

She thinks about her mother’s condition, she says: “My Ma’s coughing seems to be more serious. I’m a bit worried about her.”

Jing Bo Yuan says: “Don’t worry. I’ll help you to take care of her.”

Ye Qing Xin: “Em.”

Then it’s silent.

They could listen to each other’s breathing sound. Ye Qing Xin stands in front of the mirror and looks at her flat belly. It seems to not different. If it’s not because of her urge to vomit, maybe she will forget that she is pregnant.

After a few moment, she suddenly remembers something. She says: “Bo Yuan, today I receive a call. The caller said that she is Connie, that famous designer. She invited me to join ear. Can you help me to check on Connie? It’s best if you can find her photo.”

Jing Bo Yuan says: “Wait for me.”

After around five minutes, Ye Qing Xin finishes her shower and she dries her body with towel. Jing Bo Yuan calls again.

“I just called her, tomorrow you can go directly to the art gallery.”

“……” Ye Qing Xin is a bit stunned: “You… know her?”
