Xin Qing was always in low spirits and became cautious about everything every day. Ying Qingcang decided to have a talk with her. Considering Young Master Shen"s advice, Ying Qingcang took Xin Qing to the fairground on the weekend. Zhang Mi planned to go with her, but hearing that Ying Qingcang answered on the phone, "OK, Young Master Shen can go with her", Zhang Mi did not say anything more.
"Can I only play this one?" Xin Qing stood under the Ferris Wheel with an unhappy face. Ying Qingcang defied all the games she had proposed, because he thought they were too fast or dangerous. So Xin Qing decided that she would never come to fairground with Ying Qingcang anymore.
"This is good. It is secure." Ying Qingcang held Xin Qing and sat on it. The Ferris Wheel in S City was well-known because it was the largest one in Asia. It took 20 minutes to make a round trip. As the Ferris Wheel began to turn slowly, Ying Qingcang began to get to the point.
"Tell me what happened to you recently."
Looking at him, Xin Qing played the fool and asked in reply, "Ah? What are you talking about?"
"Your mind is on your face. Don"t you think no one can tell it?" Ying Qingcang frowned and said, "If you don"t say it today, I have to take you to the company every day and put you under my nose. Only in this way can I rest rea.s.sured."
Xin Qing rolled her eyes and said, "Be... because there is more woman in the family. Besides, it is the woman who has designs on you. I"m jealous!"
"Oh, has anyone told you before that your right eyebrow will arch every time you tell a lie?"
"What? Do I?" Xin Qing lifted her hand to touch her eyebrow, and then paused when seeing Ying Qingcang"s half smile. She said in low spirits, "What the old man predicted have come true, for example, you were injured and ill; the affair between Zhang Mi and Young Master Shen. These all happened."
Ying Qingcang gave a heavy snap on her forehead and said, "I"ve told you not to believe the nonsense. Why don"t you still think about it?"
"But he is right!" Xin Qing covered her forehead. "What if you have another accident next time?"
Ying Qingcang let out a sigh and pulled her into his arms. "It"s all the coincidence. We can"t be separated. Don"t you forget the Ancestral Behest? Don"t make any blind and foolish fancy. I feel bad when seeing you like that every day. I even can"t concentrate myself on work."
"I have affected your work!" Xin Qing felt that she had troubled him again and pouted. "Well, I try not to."
Ying Qingcang lowered his head and kissed her mouth. At first, he tried to be gentle. And then, he pressed her into his arms tightly and kissed her hard as if he had wanted to swallow her down. He did not release her until she became ablush and breathless. Ying Qingcang fondled her back to help her breathe and said with helpless exasperation, "Not try, but can"t think. Hear me?"
"Oh... well." Xin Qing had not returned to herself and just moved her head in his arms.
Ying Qingcang was quite satisfied with the effect of the Ferris Wheel. After coming down, he proposed forwardly to buy ice cream for Xin Qing. Xin Qing stood there and looked at Ying Qingcang from behind, delighted inwardly. "Such a good man is mine!"
Then she saw the pirate ship on the roadside slowly fell in the direction of Ying Qingcang. It seemed that only within a few seconds, she wanted to call him but could not make a sound. But when she could speak out, the sound turned into a scream.
At the door of the operating room, Xin Qing stared at the red light with a pale face. Young Master Shen kept muttering to the man who came to investigate the case. Ying Hao sat there with a blackened face, and no one could tell what he was thinking about. Jasmine glared at Xin Qing and could not help but say to Xin Qing sarcastically, "It is said that Ah Cang has been unlucky recently. You are a jinx."
"Shut up!" Young Master Shen suddenly turned and grabbed Jasmine"s neck. With widened eyes, Jasmine struggled for a long time and gaped at Young Master Shen with fright and hatred.
Young Master Shen threw her onto the ground and reproached, "Don"t let me hear you say this to Xiao Qingqing, or I will let you stay in S City forever."
"Jasmine." Ying Hao took a warning look at her. With tears in the eyes, Jasmine did not dare to say anything more but just stood aside silently.
The light in the operating room was off. Ying Qingcang was pushed out, his upper body covered with bandages. Xin Qing stumbled forward but did not dare to touch him, and just called his name softly.
"Three ribs were broken. Fortunately, his internal organs were not hurt. Now it"s all right. He can wake up when the anesthetic is over." With emotions, the doctor left words about some dos and don"ts, thinking that the two people came to the hospital so frequently that all the people thought that this pair of lovers did have bad luck...
In the evening, the moment Ying Qingcang came to himself, he met with Xin Qing"s tearful face head-on. He recalled what had happened at that time and was thankful that he had ducked in time. Then, he took a gloomy look at Xin Qing again, because he had made efforts to ease out her anxiety, but now she would begin making blind and foolish fancy again.
"Are you okay? Does it hurt?" Xin Qing took a small spoon to feed him to drink water. "Don"t move. Your upper body can"t move."
Ying Qingcang pinched her hand and said, "Don"t cry. It"s ugly."
"Sobs..." Xin Qing cried even worse upon hearing his words and said, "I have said that something bad will happen. See, almost, you"re almost..."
At that time, the pirate ship threw its side to Ying Qingcang. Fortunately, the people around screamed out to remind him, so he could step back in time, and it could not hit his head.
"Hey! Woke up?" Young Master Shen pushed the door in.
Ying Qingcang took a glance at him without a word, and wiped Xin Qing"s tears with his hand. Then he said, "I want to drink fish soup. You go to see if Aunt Tian has come."
"Okay!" Xin Qing nodded her head and ran out without washing her face.
Young Master Shen closed the door, went to the bed and looked at him. "What have you noticed?"
"To check. What have happened recently are definitely not coincidental." Ying Qingcang said with coldness in his eyes, "I suspect that it is related to the people who kidnapped Xin Qing last time."
Young Master Shen said in a deep voice, "I don"t think it is an accident as well." How could it be so many frequent accidents? There must be someone manipulating secretly.
"But the opponent has not left a trace. It is not easy to check!"
Ying Qingcang snorted. "As long as someone has come to the world, he is sure to leave a trace." He took a look at Young Master Shen and said, "Go to the White Dragon Mountain and start to check the old man who solves the token."
"What?" Young Master Shen asked with surprise, "Shall I have to go so far?"
"The person was able to make such a huge layout. Perhaps it"s not only that far..." Ying Qingcang thought to himself.
Ying Qingcang stayed in the hospital for two months. The day when he was discharged from the hospital was the eve of Christmas. Xin Qing was distressed because she thought that her horoscope went against Ying Qingcang"s. And she did not get close to him on the full moon night.
To her surprise, Ying Hao did not mention it, either, as if the rule that Xin Qing and Ying Qingcang had to sleep together on the full moon night had been abolished.
Xin Qing"s birthday fell on Christmas Eve. Undoubtedly, Ying Qingcang celebrated it with her outside. While they were still having the meal, Ying Qingcang began taking liberties with her. Xin Qing knew that she could not escape this night. On the way back, Ying Qingcang kept pawing her. Xin Qing had no ways but to shift the topic and ask him.
"You said to celebrate my birthday, but there is not even a gift!"
Ying Qingcang took his hand off her leg, pinched her face and said, "Who said there is not a gift?"
Then no matter how Xin Qing asked Ying Qingcang, he did not tell her a word. Later when he was cornered, he kissed her and said, "Wait upon me well tonight and you will see the gift tomorrow morning!"
Xin Qing did not dare to say to Ying Qingcang about her thought that they should not be too intimate these days. Now what Ying Qingcang could think about was to make l**e with her.
Back to Ying family, Jasmine was talking to Ying Hao in the living room. Xin Qing felt strange why this woman came here. When Ying Qingcang was in hospital, Jasmine came to see him several times, but each time Ying Qingcang gave her unhappy look. Later, she did not come to the hospital for rebuff, but instead asked Ah Nan to drive her everywhere for fun.
"Ah Cang, come to my study room and I have a word with you." Ying Hao asked Ying Qingcang to follow him when seeing they were back.
Ying Qingcang did not move and said lazily, "Leave it tomorrow."
"No. We have to talk now!" Ying Hao threw a glare at him. Xin Qing prodded his waist immediately, and then Ying Qingcang gave her a kiss and whispered to her, "Wash yourself and wait for me on the bed!" Xin Qing"s face flushed, and gave him a snort.
Obviously, Jasmine heard what Ying Qingcang had said to Xin Qing. After Ying Qingcang and Ying Hao came to the study, she painted her nails as she looked at Xin Qing with contempt. She said, "Men are changeable. Today, he likes to sleep with you. But no one knows whom he will find to sleep next time. I advise you not to take it seriously."
"Well, I want to ask why you are still hanging on our house. Whose bed do you want to sleep in?" Xin Qing looked at her with a half-smile.
"Do not think that I am easy to bully. I am only like a kitten before Ying Qingcang. If other dares to bully me, I will show my paws!" Xin Qing thought.
Jasmine glared at her, about to say something but hold back. During the time that she had spent with Xin Qing, Jasmine was aware that Xin Qing was not a push-over. Once Xin Qing was p.r.i.c.ked, she would pay back by making her opponent badly battered. Xin Qing smiled at her and went upstairs.
Ying Qingcang had endured for such a long time. It was unavailable to get laid tonight. Xin Qing soaked herself in the bathtub and drifted into a sleep. After a while, she was awakened by the cold. She hastened to put on clothes and ran out, only to find Ying Qingcang had not returned yet.
Xin Qing went downstairs and took a bottle of water. She walked to the study and found no one in it. She was wondering where they were when a woman"s vague moan rang. Following the sound, Xin Qing stopped at the Jasmine"s door.
She could hear more clearly this time, the sound mixed with a woman"s groan and a man"s gasp. Xin Qing touched the door subconsciously and found the door unlocked. She quietly probed her head into the room.
In the big bed in the room, Jasmine was rolling with a man and her clothes had been taken off. Her hands were loosening the man"s belt. Xin Qing silently closed the door, leaned against the wall, and blankly said a word.
"I must have blurred eyesight. How could that man be Ying Qingcang..."
With a deep breath, she pushed the door open, only to find Ying Qingcang was kicking his trousers out of his ankles.
"Bang!" The gla.s.s fell on the ground and shattered into pieces, and it awakened the people on the bed.
Ying Qingcang looked at Xin Qing standing at the door in disbelief, and then looked at the woman beneath him. He got out of bed immediately. Seeing him come to grab her, Xin Qing turned around and rushed out hurriedly without wearing her shoes.
She ran to the top of the mountain along the twisting road, and her mind was blank. Suddenly there were two lights in front of her, and Xin Qing saw a person coming down from the car.
"Xin Qing!" The man called her name.
