Chapter 187 (1/2)
Gu Qiao’s voice is full of sadness.
She has been longing for that man for ten years. But that man is unwilling to even look at her, at last, she suddenly realizes that she can’t even be his friend.
“Qiao Qiao…..” Zhao You Jia looks at her face. He wants to comfort her, but she already starts to cry.
“But my heart is really broken. Ge, I’m really sad. Why he doesn’t like me.” Gu Qiao looks at his face. She is clutching his sleeve tightly. Her tears keeps on falling. “Ye Qing Xin turns to be in this situation, everyone opposes them to be together, but he insists to not give her up, what is so good about her? Is it because of her beauty?”
“Qiao Qiao!” Zhao You Jia is somewhat wishes that Gu Qiao can be more reasonable: “What is so good also about him?”
Gu Qiao startles for a while. She cries and laughs: “I also don’t know what is so good about him. I just love him. I also have no way out. Ge, go with me to drink okay?”
Zhao You Jia looks at her.
After an hour, in a bar.
Gu Qiao sits down on the bar. She keeps on drinking until her face is red. She is unaware. Her tears keep on falling.
Zhao You Jia sits down beside her.
There’re lots of bottles on the table, Gu Qiao finally cannot hold it anymore, she goes to the restroom to throw up.
When she comes out, her face is pale and but red.
Looking at Zhao You Jia, she couldn’t help but to run to his embrace. She says: “Why doesn’t he like me? Am I ugly? Ge, tell me am I not good?”
Zhao You Jia says: “You are very good, Qiao Qiao.”
“What is so good about me? Am I….. better than Ye Qing Xin?”
“In my heart, Qiao Qiao is the best.” Zhao You Jia says.
Gu Qiao suddenly pushes him away.
“What is the point of you thinking that I am the best, you are not him!” Gu Qiao laughs. She laughs and cries. She is in a mess.
“Why doesn’t he like me? Why does he like Ye Qing Xin? I also don’t want to like a man that doesn’t like me, but I cannot control my feeling. Ge, I’m so sad. I am really sad…”
“Qiao Qiao..” Zhao You Jia comes forward to hug Gu Qiao. “Don’t be sad. You will be engaged with him in New Year Day. It will be as your wish.”
“How can it be, it’s impossible. If there is Ye Qing Xin, he will not come….”
Zhao You Jia hugs her tighter and says: “Qiao Qiao, don’t worry, I’ll think of a way…”
The next day in the morning, 07:00 a.m. Ye Qing Xin is waken by Jing Bo Yuan. They both go to have breakfast and get ready to go back to Jing City.
They go back by car because Jing Bo Yuan worries about Ye Qing Xin’s health to go on a plane.
The car is spacious so if Ye Qing Xin is tired, she can lay down to rest. She could lay on Jing Bo Yuan’s thigh and sleeps.
At night 09:00 p.m. the car enters Jing city border. It’ll take another thirty minutes to arrive at Nan Shan mansion.
Auntie Zhang immediately passes a glass of warm fresh milk to Ye Qing Xin when they arrive. Her gaze falls on her belly. Auntie Zhang is happy: “Congratulation, Tai Tai. Tai Tai, are you hungry? I’ll cook few dishes for you, what do you want to eat?”
Ye Qing Xin blushes, she glances at Jing Bo Yuan. She then thanks Auntie Zhang: “Thank you Auntie Zhang, I want to eat noodle, please cook two bowls of noodle.”
Auntie Zhang then goes to the kitchen to cook.
Ye Qing Xin kept on sleeping on the way. She slept for a long time so she feels so lively now. She moves closer to Jing Bo Yuan and hugs his arm: “You told Auntie Zhang?”
Jing Bo Yuan says to her: “In the future, she needs to take a good care of you.”
He means that if Auntie Zhang doesn’t know about her condition, how can she take a good care of her.
Ye Qing Xin smiles. His meticulousness makes her feel happy and safe.
The room temperature is high. Ye Qing Xin takes off her coat and scarf. She places both of it on the bed.
“Your action will spoil me. Later on don’t regret if I act like a tyrant.”
Jing Bo Yuan takes off his coat too and says: “Take a shower then let’s go down and eat.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and goes to the dressing room to take her nightgown first.
When she comes out after the shower, Jing Bo Yuan is standing outside and answering a call. He is wearing a blue shirt and dark grey suit pants. He looks mature and sexy. He is holding a cigarette, but he doesn’t lit it.
He notices she is coming out and he ends the call.
“Why are you wearing this outside, aren’t you cold?” Ye Qing Xin notices that his shirt is too thin. It’s cold outside. She feels sorry for him.
Jing Bo Yuan smiles and pinches her cheek lightly.
Ye Qing Xin looks at the unlit cigarette. It’s been several times that she notices he is controlling himself to not smoke.
“If you cannot bear it, then just smoke a cigarette. Don’t smoke it in front of me, then it’ be okay. I feel sorry for you that every time you should endure it.”
Jing Bo Yuan pulls her and raises her chin. He kisses her deeply and she responds to her kiss.
His kissing is skilled than before. Ye Qing Xin blushes and her sight turns blurred.
He kisses her shoulder and suddenly he remembers about something.
“What is it?”
He goes to the restroom to take a towel and then holds her hand. They go to sit down on the sofa. He helps her to dry her hair.
Ye Qing Xin looks at the man in front of her. She could feel his caring toward her.
She hugs his neck and couldn’t help to ask the same unanswered question: “Be honest with me, when do you start to like me?”
Jing Bo Yuan asks her: “Is it really important?”
“Okay, if you don’t want to tell me.” She lowers her head and doesn’t say anything else. His warm hands that massage her head makes her unhappiness goes away. “Bo Yuan, I want to visit Nai Nai tomorrow.”
“Em, I’ll go with you tomorrow.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Aren’t you working tomorrow?”
“Even if I need to work, I still have time to accompany you.”
The door is knocked.
Auntie Zhang says: “Xian Sheng, Tai Tai, the food is ready now.”
This time Ye Qing Xin has experienced different thing. For the last pregnancy she had a serious and worst morning sickness, she didn’t have any appetite and loved to sleep but this time she seems to enjoy to eat everything. She has big appetite.
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t let her to eat too much as he is worried that it will affect her sleep.
The next day, New Year’s Day.
Ye Qing Xin wakes up in the morning and realizes that Jing Bo Yuan isn’t beside her anymore. She is used to it. She takes her phone and notices there are twelve unread messages. She opens it. Ten of them are New Year’s day greetings. Jing Suo Suo and Dou Weir, Song Jiu also send her their greeting and wish for her. She replies it one by one.
There’s also one from Wen Ze Yan.
— Xin Xin, happy birthday.
Yes, today it’s her birthday.
Ye Qing Xin wants to thank him, but a message comes.
— Xin Xin, I wish you will be happy.
Ye Qing Xin is startled and smiles. She is really happy.
She erases her words and makes a new message.
— I also wish that you will be happy.
Then she sends it.
Wen Ze Yan let her go, actually he also let himself go.
The bathroom door is opened. Jing Bo Yuan comes out with a towel wraps on his waist. He has a really great body.
He is holding a towel and drying his hair. He looks at Ye Qing Xin, who is sitting on the bed and smiling at her phone. He smiles and says: “You look so happy.”
Ye Qing Xin tells him about Wen Ze Yan’s message, Jing Bo Yuan’s expression is not changing. It seems that he already expects this to happen. He doesn’t feel surprised.
“I need to go to the office first. In the afternoon, I’ll go back and have lunch with you. Then we will go to visit Nai Nai at the hospital.”
Ye Qing Xin nods and puts down her phone.
Jing Bo Yuan then goes to the dressing room.
Ye Qing Xin goes to the bathroom to freshen up.
The door is open, she notices that he is already in his full suit. She asks him: “Why do you look so formal today? Is there any important event?”
Jing Bo Yuan comes closer to her and hugs her waist: “I have an important negotiation this morning.”
Ye Qing Xin lowers her head and brushes her teeth, Jing Bo Yuan is styling his hair.
When they are done, both of them go down together. Jing Bo Yuan leaves after the breakfast. Ye Qing Xin takes her laptop and continues her design.
At ten o’clock. There’s a call, Auntie Zhang answers it. After a moment, the bell is ringing. Auntie Zhang goes out and comes back with a box. She takes it upstairs.
“Tai Tai, Xian Sheng let you to wear this if you are using your computer.”
Ye Qing Xin raises her head and looks that Auntie Zhang is taking out a large wide shoulder suspender that looks like a cloth.
“What is that…….”
“Anti-radiation maternity dress.” Auntie Zhang explains and helps her to wear it, “Xian Sheng’s secretary comes over to send this over.”
Ye Qing Xin looks at it and wears it.
11:10 p.m. Jing Bo Yuan comes home and comes inside the living room. He looks that Ye Qing Xin is laying down on the sofa with a book on her hands.
Jing Bo Yuan takes off his coat and his scarf. He comes closer to her and touches her legs. He notices that it’s cold. He frowns: “Why aren’t you wearing socks?”
Ye Qing Xin says: “I don’t feel cold.”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything, he toes upstair and goes down again. He takes a very thick socks and sits down on the sofa. He helps her tow ear it.
Ye Qing Xin looks at his serious face and smiles: “The temperature is warm, I don’t feel cold.”
Jing Bo Yuan helps her to wear it and says: “Even you don’t feel cold, you need to maintain your temperature.”
Ye Qing Xin puts down her book and hugs her: “Why are you turning into this kind of fussy old woman? Is it because I am pregnant with your three kids? So you are act like all matters, big and small are important?”
Jing Bo Yuan hugs her. “Didn’t I also that way before?”
Ye Qing Xin thinks about two months of their break up, she pouts: “Of course not, there’re two months that you ignored me, you even didn’t call me.”
Jing Bo Yuan pinches her cheek lightly: “You have no conscience, who did ignore who?”
“I ignored you, so you can also ignore me?” Ye Qing Xin accuses him: “If I ignore you for a lifetime, then you also plan to ignore me forever?”
Jing Bo Yuan notices her grievance and laughs. “I’ll not.”
“Really, what if that day I didn’t take initiative to hug you, what will you do?”
Auntie Zhang calls after them to eat.
“Let’s go.”
Ye Qing Xin hugs him and doesn’t want to stand up. She asks her: “You haven’t answered me, if I didn’t hug you that day, what will you do?”
Jing Bo Yuan says: “dealing with a young girl with you, I have a lot of ways.” Then he pats at her bottom, “Let’s stand up and eat.”
Ye Qing Xin stands up and pouts: “I am not that easy to deal with.”
Jing Bo Yuan smiles and takes her to the dining room.
