Ye Qing Xin feels like she is being stood up by someone.
She thinks about it and dials Jing Bo Yuan’s phone. It’s answered quickly.
“Where are you? Go up here.” Ye Qing Xin says it and just hangs up.
Today is their first day to be a newlywed, she hasn’t gotten up. She gets no sticky notes, so he hasn’t gone out yet.
She puts down her phone and gets off the bed to go to the bathroom. She rolls up her hair and takes a shower.
The sound of the running shower covers the sound outside. After the shower, she turns off the spray. It’s so quiet outside. The time she is about to call after him to know whether he is back or not. She suddenly hears his rigid voice. He is talking with someone.
He is talking with English.
Last night for their wedding, a lot of Jing Bo Yuan’s foreign friends came to attend.
Ye Qing Xin dries her body and wears her clothes. She listens to their conversation for a while. His voice is pleasant. His English is very fluent. Ye Qing Xin can understand it. His friends will come back to their country tomorrow. This afternoon they are asking to hang out.
The call ends quickly. When Ye Qing Xin wears her clothes, she considers about something. She takes off her nightgown again and just wears her little yellow underwear.
One of her hand hugs her chest to cover her breast and she opens the door.
She could hear his voice from the balcony. Luckily the bathroom is next to the balcony.
The door is opened. As expected she sees his figure, he is putting his phone inside his pocket. He turns his head to see her.
He sees her white skin. He could see her surgery mark on the left of her stomach. She is so s.e.xy.
Ye Qing Xin looks at his eyes and leans on the door. One of her arm hugs her chest while she bends her waist slightly and waves at him: “Mr Jing, a night of s.e.xual bliss……”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t seem to be tempted, but he frowns then turns his head toward the sofa inside the bedroom.
Ye Qing Xin notices something is wrong. She truns her head rigidly and notices that Old Madame Yan and Old Madame Sheng are sitting down there. They are holding their tea cups and looks at her. They are dumbstruck, they are stunned.
The room is windless and war, Ye Qing Xin feels a cold wind blows behind her back. It gives her gooseb.u.mps.
Ye Qing Xin regains herself and runs inside the bathroom. She slams the door close.
Where is a hole? She really wants to get inside and hide.
Ye Qing Xin feels shame. Her heart beats so fast and her brain is blank.
How can that two elders come over this early morning?
Ye Qing Xin feels that she cannot meet at those two elders again in the future.
She leans on the door and covers her face. She kneels down.
After a while, the door is knocked.
“Xin Xin, come out. The two elders are waiting for you outside.” She could hear that Jing Bo Yuan feels something is funny.
Ye Qing Xin is silent for a while and rubs her hands powerfully on her face. She opens the door. Indeed, she faces Jing Bo Yuan’s smiling face.
“You are making fun of me?” Ye Qing Xin glares at him, she accuses him: “How can you not tell me that Yan Nai Nai and Sheng Nai Nai come here? You make me….” Make me be embarra.s.sed in front of them.
Jing Bo Yuan pa.s.ses the clothes on his hand to her, he says gently: “Wear your clothes. The elders are waiting downstairs to have breakfast with you.”
Ye Qing Xin looks at the clothes and takes it. She is somewhat frustrated: “Do I still have face to meet them? I really want to shut off from the outside world for several day like I don’t want to go out of the bedroom…”
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her blushing face and laughs lightly: “They are adults with experience. They understand, they will not mind about it.”
Ye Qing Xin: “…….”
Jing Bo Yuan says again: “Hurry up wear your clothes, don’t get cold.”
Jing Bo Yuan kisses her lips and helps her to wear her clothes.
Ye Qing Xin is dressed and follows Jing Bo Yuan to go downstairs.
In the dining room, Old Madame Sheng and Old Madame Yan are chatting about something. They are laughing so happily.
When they hear footsteps, both of them turn their head and look over.
Looking that Ye Qing Xin is downstairs and behind Jing Bo Yuan, both of them are happy. They immediately stand up and run over her.
“Xin Xin, did you have a goodnight sleep last night?”
“Good good, are you hungry? Let’s go, Nai Nai will accompany you to have breakfast.”
Old Madame Sheng and Old Madame Yan hold each one of her hand and takes her to the dining room. The elders are acting like that they don’t see what happened upstairs.
Ye Qing Xin’s face is a bit red. She smiles politely and greets them: “Yan Nai Nai, Sheng Nai Nai….”
“Why are you acting that we are not close?” Old Madame Yan is somewhat unhappy, she corrects her: “Call me Wai Po (Grandmother = Mother’s mother).”
“Right, right, you should call me Nai Nai (Grandmother = Father’s mother).”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “It’s not evaluated yet, what if…….”
“No what if, you are my Xin Xin.” Old Madame Yan cuts her off. Her eyes trun teary and she sobs: “No what if, Xin Xin, you are my Wai Sun Nu (Granddaughter), you are my real Wai Sun Nu.”
Ye Qing Xin sits down on the middle of Old Madame Yan and Old Madame Sheng. Jing Bo Yuan sits on the opposite of her.
Auntie Chi is helping Chef Lu to place the breakfast on the table.
Old Madame Yan and Old Madame Sheng brings their own maid to come over to.
Song Yu Ning opens the white thermos on the table and pours out a bowl of shark’s fin soup for Old Madame Yan.
Old Madame Yan takes it and places it in front of Ye Qing Xin. She says: “Good kid, eat more. Now you need more nutritions.”
Old Madame Yan also brings a thermos of bird nest soup. She takes it and places it in front of Ye Qing Xin. “Xin Xin, drink a bit of bird nest soup. I prepare for you this early morning…..”
“It’s better to drink shark’s fin soup first.” Old Madame Yan says.
“Drink bird’s nest first.”
“Ay! Let me tell you old lady. You know that first come, first serve right? It’s clear that I serve mine first for Xin Xin.”
“Heng!” Old Madame Sheng doesn’t want to be outdone. “I came here earlier than you. If it’s first come first serve, then I should be first!”
“I am first!”
“I am first!”
Ye Qing Xin: “…… That……. I want to eat soft-boiled egg first…”
Two elders look at her. Their eyes are shinning. Ye Qing Xin swallows and asks: “Can I?”
“Of course, of course!” Both old madams nod and each one of them takes one egg. They peel it for her.
“Nah, Xin Xin. Eat this, Wai Po peels it for you.”
“Eat it, Nai Nai peels it for you.”
Ye Qing Xin looks at both of them and feels happy.
Old Madame Sheng doesn’t take any offense of what happened between her and Yu Qing You. After knowing that her true ident.i.ty, she and Old Madame Yan treat her as their own granddaughter.
After the breakfast.
Jing Bo Yuan accompanies Ye Qing Xin to the hospital research inst.i.tute to do DNA test with Yan and Sheng families.
Old Mister Yan and Old Mister Sheng are both rational men, they both feel that they should be cautious.
When they are done, Old Madame Yan and Old Madame Sheng want to take Ye Qing Xin to their home to have lunch. They keep on sticking on their own version of arguments. No one backs down.
At last they all go back to Jing family old residence.
On the table.
Old Madame Sheng speaks up about the event to admit Ye Qing Xin to be part of the family. She says: “Xin Xin has kids. She shouldn’t be too tired. I want to arrange an event with several tables. Let’s invite several important people of Jing family to witness it. Xin Xin that time can go to our memorial temple of Sheng family to bow down. We can write her name on that family history. Let’s make it a bit simple………”
Ye Qing Xin feels happy and touched. Her eyes are teary. She lowers her head down. She doesn’t want anyone to see her tears.
She feels very thankful and blessed that she can get four more siblings.
Old Mister Sheng speaks gently to Ye Qing Xin: “Wait till the result is out, then we can choose a good day.”
Unconsciously he recognizes Ye Qing Xin as his granddaughter.
“Oh right.” Old Madame Yan seems to think of something. She says: “A Yuan’s house is big right, you have lots of empty rooms?”
Jing Bo Yuan frowns lightly.
Indeed Old Madame Yan continues: “I already asked someone to move my suitcase to Nan Shan mansion. I decide that I’ll move to to stay there for few days. A Yuan and Xin Xin will not oppose it right.”
Jing Bo Yuan: “….”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “of course not.”
Old Madame Yan slaps her head: “Oh right, how can I not think of that. If I stay in Nan Shan mansion, I can meet Xin Xin every time. I also want to move in.”
Jing Bo Yuan: “……..”
Old Madame Sheng: “It’s just, you are newlyweds, will it be inconvenient for you?”
Old Madame Yan: “Nothing will be inconvenient. They will stay upstair, we will stay downstair. We will not go up.”
Old Madame Sheng nods.
Old Madame Yan sits down beside Ye Qing Xin and serves her bowl of pork liver soup for Ye Qing Xin. She says: “Xin Xin, drink this for enrich the blood.”
Old Madame Sheng also helps to take a slice of lean meat for Ye Qing Xin. “Eat more.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and thanks her. She eats it.
Sheng family house.
On the table.
Sheng Wen Qiong is so furious.
“Ye Qing Xin is really great. At first she s.n.a.t.c.hed away Qing You’s man, she made Qing You got into the jail. Now she is Wen Jun’s daughter. In the future she will appear in front of me, I……..” She slams down a gla.s.s of juice. “…. I’m so angry
