Chapter 190 (1/2)
Jing Bo Yuan looks at Ye Qing Xin’s smiling face. Then he pecks on her lip: “Happy birthday.”
Then he passes her the bouquet of roses.
Ye Qing Xin is startled for a while, she lowers her head to smell it. She bites her lips and looks at him. “How do you know?”
She is blushing.
Jing Bo Yuan then kisses her lips again.
After a while, he lets go of her swollen lips and hugs her to get inside the living room.
Ye Qing Xin becomes muddle-headed because of it, she doesn’t pay attention to his action. She is thinking how can this big of bouquet of roses can be so light on her hold. She places it on the table.
She turns her body and hugs him. She pecks lightly on his lips: “Thank you for the flower, I like it so much.”
“It’s good that you like it.” Jing Bo Yuan smiles. He takes off his coat and places it on the sofa. He also takes off the scarf that Ye Qing Xin bought for him. He always wears the scarf that she bought for him. She then just takes off his tie for him.
Jing Bo Yuan watches her do it. His eyes are calm, he looks like he enjoys that moment.
Auntie Zhang comes over and says that the dinner is ready.
Jing Bo Yuan hugs Ye Qing Xin and gets into the dining room. Tonight there a lot of dishes. There’s also a cheese cake in the center of the table.
“Xian Sheng, Tai Tai, my granddaughter is sick, can I go home earlier? Just leave the bowls, I’ll wash it tomorrow morning, okay?”
Auntie Zhang is somewhat worried.
Her granddaughter is not even a month old. Her illness makes everyone in her family feels worried.
“Of course. Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” Ye Qing Xin looks at Jing Bo Yuan: “If not give Auntie Zhang several more days off, let her to take care her granddaughter until she is well, then she can return here to take care of me. She will be relieved by then.”
Auntie Zhang immediately opposes that idea: “No need, no need. In the morning my daughter-in-law’s Mama can take care of her. At night it’ll be my turn. I don’t need days off. Really. I’m already really thankful if you can let me go home early.”
Jing Bo Yuan says calmly: “You can leave.”
Auntie Zhang is thankful: “Thank you Xian Sheng, Tai Tai.”
After Auntie Zhang leaves, Ye Qing Xin strokes her own belly: “Raising a kid is not easy, I hope that our three kids can live happily and healthily.”
“They will.” Jing Bo Yuan pulls the chair and lets her sit. Then he sits down on the opposite of her.
Ye Qing Xin looks at the cheesecake, and without her realizing it, she swallows her saliva.
Jing Bo Yuan takes a bowl of red date mushroom thick soup for her, “drink this before the dessert.”
“Why?” Ye Qing Xin is not happy: “When other people have their birthday, they usually eat cake first.”
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her: “You are not other people.”
Ye Qing Xin: “………”
Perhaps because of three of the babies, her appetite is getting even better. She doesn’t know how fat she will be during this pregnancy.
“Bo Yuan, later on what if later on I become a fatty, will you dislike me?”
Jing Bo Yuan takes a slice of chicken liver with his chopsticks and places it on her bowl. He doesn’t mind her presumption.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t ask about it again.
After two bowls of rice, Ye Qing Xin wants to eat another bowl. Jing Bo Yuan stops her: “be careful if you eat too much at night, you will suffer from indigestion.”
Then he cuts a small slice of cheesecake and passes it to her.
Ye Qing Xin looks at the really small cake for several seconds and raises her head to see Jing Bo Yuan: “Isn’t it a bit small?”
“It will be hard to digest if you eat too much.”
“…..” he is even stricter than her own father.
Ye Qing Xin smiles, she doesn’t even know who is her biological father, how can she know whether he is strict or not.
“What are you thinking?”
“What time is it?” Ye Qing Xin eats the cake.
“6:40” Jing Bo Yuan sits down there. From time, his fingers knocks on the table.
He seems bored but also a bit worried.
“Oh right, when is your birthday?”
She doesn’t know when is his birthday.
Jing Bo Yuan says: “You don’t have a good understanding about your future husband.”
“You never tell me about me, how can I know…..”
Actually she can know it from lots of way. But she never pays attention to it. She lowers her head like a student that makes a mistake.
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her expression and finds it really amusing. He looks at the time again. There is only ten minutes before seven o’clock.
He suddenly stands up and asks: “Are you done?”
Ye Qing Xin looks at him and puts the last bite of the cake into her mouth. Then she stands up: “em, I’m done.”
Jing Bo Yuan gives out his hand toward her and says softly: “Come here.”
Ye Qing Xin puts her hand on his palm. She thinks that he will take her to the bedroom to sleep. She doesn’t think too much about it. She just follows him out of the dining room. They stop in front of the flight of stairs. Jing Bo Yuan then just carries her up and walks upstair.
At the beginning she is surprised but she then just hugs his neck and let him take her upstair. She is happy.
When they arrive at the second floor, he doesn’t stop. He continues to go upstair.
Ye Qing Xin is startled: “Bo Yuan, where will we go?”
There are three floors in the mansion. There’re a lots of rooms, empty rooms. Especially for the third floor, all the rooms are empty. He puts her down when they reach the third floor.
Then he asks her: “Stand here don’t move around.” Then he goes down to the second floor master bedroom.
The time he returns, he brings Ye Qing Xin’s down-jacket. He passes it to her and says: “Take this.”
He also wears a coat.
Ye Qing Xin takes it. She is a bit confused. But very quickly, she understands why did he take it for her.
There’s a spacious balcony on the third floor. Jing Bo Yuan let her to put on her jacket. He pulls up the zipper, he really wants to cover her up
Then they go out the balcony.
“What are we going to do?” Ye Qing Xin doesn’t feel cold. Jing Bo Yuan puts her hands on his pocket so she is hugging him.
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t answer her question and she doesn’t ask again.
Then suddenly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ye Qing Xin is surprised. She turns her head and notices there’re fireworks.
She sees colorful fireworks.
“Is this my other birthday present?” Ye Qing Xin leans on his body and watches that amazing scenery.
From the balcony she could see a building, that is called Zhong Guo Zun, it’s the tallest building. The building is dark but it suddenly the light turns on. This time in purple color. It shows a writing. She watches that one closely.
A pink color of “Xin”.
Ye Qing Xin looks at him: “Is this my birthday present?”
A rich man might gives an unordinary present.
She guesses that it will show a sentence “Xin Xin, happy birthday.”
Jing Bo Yuan pursues his lips and says nothing.
Ye Qing Xin pouts the time she doesn’t get his answer, but she is happy. She turns her head and looks at the building again.
Then a word ‘Jia (Marry)’, appears.
Ye Qing Xin is shocked and retreats.
The time she sees the complete sentence. “Xin Xin, marry me.” She is unresponsive.
The fireworks are still continuing. Ye Qing Xin can hear her quick heartbeat.
After a while, she turns her body to look at tat man. Their eyes meet each other. Jing Bo Yuan is standing there with a blue box on his hand. He moves closer to her and opens the box. She could see the large diamond ring. He removes it the box. His eyes still fix on her. Then in the next moment, he kneels down on one knee and says seriously. “Marry me.”
Ye Qing Xin looks at him and feels touched. She even doesn’t have time to reply and that man just takes her hand and let her ware it.
It’s a completely suitable for her.
He holds her hand and kisses it.
Jing Bo Yuan stands up and hugs her. He kisses her lips. Then they stand there for a while to enjoy the fireworks.
The weather is cold but she feels nothing but being loved.
The ring fits her well. It looks magnificent on her ring finer.
When it’s done, Jing Bo Yuan carries her inside. The fireworks just stops after a long time.
After she takes shower and goes outside the bathroom, Jing Bo Yuan just comes inside the room. He is wearing his pajamas. He brings a tray. On the tray, there is a glass of milk, a glass of water, a plate of slice of cheesecake, and one boiled egg. He doesn’t forget to bring her vitamins too.
The time she looks at food, Ye Qing Xin’s belly rings loudly.
Ye Qing Xin: “….”
Jing Bo Yuan smiles and puts down the tray on the table. He says to her: “Come here and take the vitamin first.”
Ye Qing Xin blushes. She dries her hair with the towel and walks there.
Jing Bo Yuan takes the towel from her hold and helps to dry it. He sways her head lightly.
Ye Qing Xin takes the vitamin and then breaks the boiled egg. She eats it, then her gaze falls on the ring, that Jing Bo Yuan gave her before. It’s shining so splendidly under the light. She asks him: “When did you buy the ring? I never tried it before, how can you know that it will fit me? Aren’t you worried that it’ll be too big? Or too small?”
Jing Bo Yuan says: “No way.”
“You measured my ring size secretly?”
“No.”
“Then how can you know that it’ll fit me? It’s really exactly right. Not too big or too small.”
Jing Bo Yuan smiles lightly and says: “I know all of your size.”
“……” Ye Qing Xin is startled and blushes. She drinks her milk and starts to shift the topic: “Actually you can buy a simpler ring. This one has a big diamond. I will feel pressured when I wear it.”
She continues: “What if I lose it, I’ll be heartbroken.”
“Then we can just order another one.” He says indifferently.
“Doesn’t it more money?” Ye Qing Xin then thinks about the fireworks, it should be cheap. It’s too wasteful.
“In the future, don’t spend too much money.”
He replies: “There’s only once for a lifetime.”
Ye Qing Xin understands his implicit meaning, she lowers her head and smiles. She is so happy and grateful. She suddenly thinks off the time when they were in Hong Kong and how he somehow forced her to willing to marry him. She remembers the time she submitted to her despotic power. Ye Qing Xin blushes and glares at him.
Jing Bo Yuan notices something wrong with her glare.
He lifts her long hair and notices her ears are all red: “What are you thinking? Your ears are all red.”
Ye Qing Xin tries to avoid his touch: “No, nothing.”
Jing Bo Yuan looks at the necklace on her neck. It was given from him for her. He smiles and looks happy.
“Since you agree to my proposal, then tomorrow let’s go to the administration.”
Ye Qing Xin says: “I thought that you forget about it.” She raises her glass of milk: “I cannot finish this, do you want some?”
Jing Bo Yuan takes it and drinks it. He doesn’t look that he minds about it.
Ye Qing Xin smiles.
Jing Bo Yuan finishes the glass of milk then he brings the tray and the dirty dishes downstair.
When he comes back to the room, Ye Qing Xin is holding two of her necklace. She raises it high and looks at it.
He notices that the design of the necklace is very unique and special. The pedant is shaped like a woman’s eye with a curly eyelash. The pupil is from a blue diamond and there is hanging teardrop from a blue diamond too on the corner of the eye.
Jing Bo Yuan had noticed this necklace long time before they are together. When they are together, she never wears it again.
