Chapter 119
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 w.a.n.g 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 unb.u.t.tons two top b.u.t.ton 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 embarra.s.sed.
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 embarra.s.sed because of it. She kneels down and wants to s.n.a.t.c.h 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.”
Looking at Jing Bo Yuan’s indifferent, she asks: “You don’t like it?”
She watches Jing Bo Yuan takes off the watch. Okay, maybe she doesn’t have a good taste. Maybe this is not suitable for his taste.
“I’ll take a shower.”
Ye Qing Xin says and goes to the restroom with depressed feeling. The time she is done with the shower, Jing Bo Yuan is outside in the balcony. He is on the phone. The watch is taken off and he placed it on his other watches.
Indeed, he doesn’t like it.
Ye Qing Xin pouts. She gets on her bed.
Jing Bo Yuan ends his call.
He goes to take a shower. Then he closes the curtain and switches off the light. He then gets on the bed and pulls that woman into his embrace.
In a short while.
Ye Qing Xin says in low spirit: “Bo Yuan, you don’t like the watch that I gave you?”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t expect her to be still awake. He answers: “It’s not that I don’t like. It’s just I helped you a great help. Just a watch will not be enough.”
Ye Qing Xin is startled. She looks at him. “What do you mean?”
He kisses her.
That man’s tongue explores her mouth.
The time Jing Bo Yuan wants to pull her nightgown, she stops him. She has hard time to be rational. She just says: “Mr Jing, please you’ve tore two of my clothes. I don’t have a lot of clothes. Please show mercy.”
Jing Bo Yuan is startled and laughs. He then lifts up the hem of her nightgown: “Like this?’
Ye Qing Xin: “…….”
Jing Bo Yuan lifts up her wet hair and kisses her lips. He says softly: “Everything that Xin Xin gave, I love it. It’s just I want more….”
This time Ye Qing Xin cannot think about the hidden meaning behind his words.
She just lays down on his body.
Her ear sticks close to his chest. She could hear his heartbeat. Jing Bo Yuan hugs her.
Ye Qing Xin suddenly wants to ask him about Jing Bo Yuan’s confrontation to his mother. But she considers again and she doesn’t want to ruin their moment so she lets it go.
In the future, she will have a chance to understand it.
After a while.
“Xin Xin.” Jing Bo Yuan speaks up.
Ye Qing Xin: “Em.”
Jing Bo Yuan says: “Later on don’t interact with her.”
Ye Qing Xin asks: “Who?”
The time she just asks, she suddenly understands.
She should be his mother.
She raises her head and looks at Jing Bo Yuan.
“Why?”
That woman is not anyone, she is his mother. How can she not interact with her?
Except if she and Jing Bo Yuan…… will not be together…….
Thinking about this makes she has a headache.
“Why?” She asks again.
Jing Bo Yuan notices her feeling and kisses her lips again: “Xin Xin, listen to me. In the future don’t interact with her. I don’t want something bad happen to you.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles so he is worried about her.
But.
“She is your mother, in the future…. perhaps she will be my……” She is embarra.s.sed but continues: “How can I not interact with her? Moreover today I feel that she is very friendly. Really, today she asked whether she can call me “Xin Xin”, she seems to be friendly….”
Jing Bo Yuan is calm and somewhat cold: “Really.”
Ye Qing Xin tries hard to say something good about He Su E: “Yes, also during ordering. The menu is all in French words. I cannot understand it. But Bo Mu helped. She is really good.”
She says again: “Bo Yuan, I don’t know the misunderstanding between you. But from my point of view, she is good. Really great. She is elegant and refined. She is also approachable. You and she…. after all is mother and son. You both are related, it cannot be cut?”
Jing Bo Yuan suddenly remembers the time He Su E takes a knife to stab him, he could replay her cursing remark at him.
His gaze turns cold. He hugs her tightly.
“Xin Xin, promise me, stay far away from her. Don’t give her a way to get close to you.”
Ye Qing Xin: “Bo Yuan…..”
“Promise me.” Jing Bo Yuan says sternly.
Ye Qing Xin says: “Okay.”
“Xin Xin, there’re things that I cannot tell you but you need to trust me. I do it for you.”
Ye Qing Xin purses her lips. “Em.”
After a while.
Jing Bo Yuan switches off the light and pats her back: “Let’s sleep. It’s late.”
It’s just. In the darkness, both of them are wandering with their own mind.
Jing Bo Yuan remembers his call with Luo Feng: “Chief Jing, I investigated Ms Ye’s car accident. The car in front of Madame suddenly stopped so she hit the brake quickly. It lets the car Ms Ye in stops too. It’s pure accident, it’s not man-made.”
At night he answers a call from Driver Lu. He said that he said that his car hit Madame’s car. Ye Qing Xin is going to have dinner with He Su E. That time he is worried and afraid.
So his first reaction was picking Ye Qing Xin home.
It’s best that tonight accident is not a man-made one.
Ye Qing Xin thinks for a while, but then she falls sleep. She sleeps quite soundly because she is hugged by Jing Bo Yuan.
In the hospital.
Dou Weir is laying down on her bed, she feels pain in her belly that keeps her to be awake.
Everything that happened yesterday remains clear and distinct in her mind.
Even if Shi Ying acts as a go-between, the camera test is a failure. That director just took a look at her and judged that she cannot act.
The time she came out, she encountered her old friend, Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong asked her out to have a dinner. She said that she will introduce her to the supporting role. Dou Weir thought that she should start from supporting role. Anyway it will be summer holiday, except getting ready for the compet.i.tion, she has nothing to do. Maybe supporting role will increase her knowledge about acting, she could also earn money.
Because she knows Zhou Tong for so many years so she didn’t think too much about it. She just follows her.
They both chatted happily and toasted.
But suddenly she felt her body turns weak and powerless. She also felt sick. Zhou Tong said that she was drunk and sent her to the hotel to take a rest.
That time she couldn’t resist and started to have a black-out. She was clear that she was not drunk.
Then she felt that she was thrown by Zhou Tong to the bed. She bit her lips ruthlessly so she can stay awake because of the pain.
After a while, someone comes closer. She looks that is a stranger man with his naked chest.
This time she knows clearly that she is tricked.
She wanted to run but she was powerless. She wanted to call for help but her bag was gone.
She heard him said: “Baby, wait for me I’ll take a bath. Wait for me.”
She was scared and terrified. When he was gone, she took a phone from her jeans pocket.
She was lucky because she had two phones. One for calling and one for browsing. She was lucky too because today she just wore jeans and loose t-shirt. No one looked around the pocket that covered by her t-shirt.
She was so terrified and forgot to call the police. She just called the person that she believes the most.
That man noticed that she was calling someone. He took her phone. Then he dragged her by her hair. Then he kicked her belly.
Her memory leads her to feel the pain and tears start to fall down.
Ectopic pregnancy…………. the oviduct is excised….. it’ll be hard for her to be pregnant…….
Dou Weir feels heartbroken.
Shi Ying …… Zhou Tong…….
Wait for me…………
