Chapter 292 (1/2)
The feeling is strange. Yet it gives her a happy feeling.
Ye Qing Xin understands what is that. She lowers her head and strokes her bulging belly.
She takes her phone and wants to call Jing Bo Yuan.
“I’m sorry, the number that your calling is off. Please try again later….”
Ye Qing Xin is startled. She is a bit dispirited. The kids are moving for the first time, it’s the first time she experiences it so she wants to share her happiness with him. She doesn’t expect that his phone is off.
He should be so busy. Though she doesn’t ask why he goes to Tian Jin but these period of times he rarely goes on business trip. He uses to pass the matters to his subordinate and provides time to accompany her. Today suddenly he said that he will go to Tian Jin. She knows that it is a sudden decision. There should be something important.
Ye Qing Xin controls her feeling. She takes the book from the drawer about antenatal instruction. She reads it softly for the kids.
At night 09:00 p.m.
A group of men in suit comes out from the hotel. In the front are Jing Bo Yuan and a fat middle-aged man.
“For this matter, I’m sorry to trouble Secretary Wu. Please take care of it.” Jing Bo Yuan shakes hand with that middle-aged fat man.
The middle-aged fat man bows his body a bit and says: “Chief Jing, please don’t be so modest. Being able to help you is my honor. Chief Jing, you can go home first. Please greet Lao Tai Tai (Old Madame Jing) for I and these Misters.”
Jing Bo Yuan smiles: “Of course.”
Jing Bo Yuan watches the car leaves. Qu Qi, who is standing beside of Jing Bo Yuan, says: “Old sly and treacherous person didn’t want to agree before. He wanted to force you to come to meet him. He wants to use you to climb up. If his plan is going well, he also will not be afraid that you’ll be hostile. We should just let him fall.”
Jing Bo Yuan looks at Qu Qi and says: “Letting someone to fall down, you also need to wait till he does something wrong. This Secretary Wu is quite good. He has been a public servant for so many years but he never does anything wrong. You shouldn’t look down at him.”
“Then Chief Jing, you will provide the way for him? With our Bo Wei’s power, we don’t need to compromise with him?” The one that is asking is the newbie. This is the first time for him to follow him in business trip.
“Don’t look down on anyone. Today you guide him, maybe in the future, you also will rely on him to pass the hardship.”
Jing Bo Yuan says it and gets inside the hotel again. This hotel is part of Bo Wei’s group. This time all of them are staying there.
The newbie looks at Jing Bo Yuan, who is leaving. “Chief Qu, I….. did I say something wrong? Chief Jing seems to be unhappy…..”
Qu Qi pats the newbie’s shoulder and says: “This is your first time to have this close conversation with him right? He usually acts like this. You will get use to it. Before he just taught you something. You should think carefully about it.”
Jing Bo Yuan goes to the top floor.
Bo Wei’s business in Tian Jin has a bit of problem. It needs help from the top people to solve it. Secretary Wu keeps on pressuring them. Today in the morning, he exposed his request to meet Jing Bo Yuan so Jing Bo Yuan leaves for a business trip here.
For making sure to show his sincerity, his phone is switched off.
In the elevator.
He switches on the phone, it’s already 09:15 p.m.
Ye Qing Xin should fall asleep now.
Jing Bo Yuan just looks at her number.
Luo Feng is reading a contract, he notices his boss is looking at the phone. He couldn’t help but to peek at the screen.
He notices the word “Xin Xin.” Luo Feng immediately understands what is his boss thinking. He speaks up: “Tai Tai is five month pregnant right? My wife is six month pregnant. Her belly is so round like a ball. Everyone says that she should be pregnant with twins. Haha….. I don’t have that kind of luck. I am not as lucky as Chief Jing that can get triplet at once.”
“Five-month old babies can move, Tai Tai should be able to feel the fetal movement right. Her belly should be full, that she can feel it right? The first time I stroked my wife’s belly casually. I was so surprised, the baby moved. Now the time I recall about it I felt that I was quite stupid that time. Haha……”
“The first time being father, I have no experience. My wife’s belly is big. When she sleeps, she feels her belly to be constricted. She always says that her waist is aching. She cannot sleep well, she keeps on moving, I also cannot sleep well. Afterwards my experienced friend tell me about a pillow for a pregnant woman. I looked at it online and bought it for her. With that pillow, she can sleep well, I also can sleep better.”
Luo Feng sounds so happy.
Jing Bo Yuan puts away his phone and looks at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng notices Jing Bo Yuan’s strict and cold eyes. He shuts his mouth and feels so awkward.
The elevator stops, the door is opened. Jing Bo Yuan goes out of the elevator first. Luo Feng follows him till the front of Jing Bo Yuan’s room. He opens the door for Jing Bo Yuan to get in.
Jing Bo Yuan gets inside. Luo Feng wants to help him to close the door. Before the door closed, Jing Bo Yuan says: “That pillow for pregnant woman, help me to order one and sends it directly to Nan Shan mansion.”
Luo Feng is startled: “Em?”
Jing Bo Yuan glances at him and doesn’t repeat his words again. He goes ot the living room.
Luo Feng responds quickly, he nods and closes the door.
At night.
Ye Qing Xin cannot sleep really well.
She uses to sleep on her side and her waist will lean on Jing Bo Yuan’s body. Tonight there’s no Jing Bo Yuan. She feels that her waist is aching.
The next day morning, Auntie Chi wakes her up at 07:00 a.m.
The time she freshens up and looks at the mirror, she notices the dark circles under her eyes.
“Xin Xin, last night you were not sleeping well?” On the dining table, Old Madame Yan asks her.
Ye Qing Xin smiles and says: “Quite good.”
“A Yuan is indeed, why didn’t he let his subordinates to do it. Why should he go on business trip. It’s good that it’s for a day. Tonight he will be back.”
“Our Xin Xin nah, cannot live a day with him.”
Ye Qing Xin: “…….”
On the way to the school, Ye Qing Xin answers Jing Bo Yuan’s call.
She answers. “Today I need to handle a bit of matter. I will be done before 08:00 p.m. I will arrive at home around 11:00 p.m.
“No need to worry. You can also go back tomorrow….”
“I want to meet you earlier.”
Ye Qing Xin: “……..”
The call ends. She touches her burning face and looks at the window. She is smiling.
When she gets inside the classroom, there are many people have arrived. Jing Suo Suo and Dou Weir are not arrived yet. The time Ye Qing Xin appears, everyone looks at her.
Ye Qing Xin just acts casual and looks for an empty seat.
“Her belly is that big, yet she doesn’t even feel embarrassed about it. I cannot imagine what she is thinking. If it’s me, I’ll definitely hide and not come out.”
“If it’s me, my Ma will beat me to death. Her family should care more about her.
Ye Qing Xin acts like she doesn’t hear their gossips.
Till the class starts, Jing Suo Suo and Dou Weir are not arrived yet.
After the first period, Ye Qing Xin gives both of them a call. Jing Suo Suo is sick because of the rain yesterday night. She is in the hospital now for get put on an IV. Dou Weir doesn’t answer the call.
The time she calls her for the fifth time, it is finally answered.
“Hi? Who is this?” Dou Weir says hoarsely. She seems to be sleeping.
“Weir, where are you?”
“I am on the bed. I have a headache. Please help me to ask for a sick leave today…..”
Then Dou Weir just hangs up. She continues to sleep. She could smell a faint hint of the perfume. The perfume is a man perfume that she really likes.
It’s a five-minute silence.
Then Dou Weir opens her eyes. She looks around. It’s all in gray color. Gray blanket, gray pillow.
She feels headache. She is startled for two seconds then she sits up.
The unfamiliar surrounding makes her stupefied.
This kind of thing is not a first time for her.
She cannot remember anything because she drank too much before.
She tries to recall what happened last night.
She met He Ji Fan by accident at the bar. She noticed that he had a young woman beside him. She is angry but she didn’t ask him. She just kept on drinking. At last she finished a bottle.
Drinking makes a botch of things.
She is too drunk that she cannot even walk. She cannot recognize anyone. She remembers that someone carried her up and took her to leave the bar.
She lowers her head down to check on her body. Her coat is gone, but her clothes are still need. She does several stretching movement. She doesn’t feel anything uncomfortable.
Fortunately, that ‘someone’ did nothing to her.
She looks around the room. The room is decorated in simple yet exquisite. The color is deep. It is man’s room.
Her coat is placed on the sofa near the window, there is a man’s slippers on the bed side.
Dou Weir gets off the bed and walks on tiptoe to get her coat.
She listens carefully to other noise, but except her own breathing and heartbeats, she cannot hear anything else.
She thinks that no one is around. She opens the door and wants to see what outside by stretching forward her head.
She comes outside to the living room and walks toward the door to go outside. She walks and notices there is an indoor lotus pond in the house. She also notices a snowy white cat is laying lazily on one of the lotus leaf. The cat is watching her like she is an intruder.
They are looking at each other. Then suddenly a door is opened. Dou Weir wants to hide, but it’s too late.
The time she sees the person, she is startled.
