At last they part on bad terms, Old Madame Yan’s older sister leaves with Old Madame Yan’s older brother’s sons with anger.
After several of them are gone, Old Madame Yan is sitting down on the sofa and turns silence for a long time. She is holding a cup of tea, her hand keeps on trembling just like her heart.
Ye Qing Xin sits down beside her and holds her hand.
Gu Qiao’s betrayal is more hurtful than Song Yu Ning’s betrayal.
After a moment, Old Madame Jing and Old Madame Sheng are getting up from their afternoon nap. They notice an constrain atmosphere around the living room. They look at each other. Auntie Zhang explains: “A while ago, Gu Qiao’s father and her grandmother came over.”
They know that those people are coming to plead for mercy for Gu Qiao.
This time Ye Qing Guo also wakes up from his afternoon nap. For a period of time, he stays at Nan Shan mansion. He is recovering very well. It’s just he always feels itchy. He keeps on scratching and runs toward Ye Qing Xin. He keeps on yelling. “Jie Jie, it’s too itchy!”
His appearance breaks the silence in the living room.
Ye Qing Xin takes out his hand from inside. “Xiao Guo, listen to me, don’t scratch it anymore. In several days, you’ll get better. Endure it.”
“But, it’s too itchy.” Ye Qing Guo cannot control it.
Ye Qing Xin knows about this. She turns on the television and plays Ultraman movie.
Very quickly Ye Qing Guo’s attention is shifted.
Old Madame Yan, Old Madame Jing, and Old Madame Sheng go upstair to the babies room to see the three babies. Ye Qing Xin persuades Ye Qing Guo, she goes upstair to see the babies too. The three old Madams are cleaning up the babies’ bottom.
“Oh right Xin Xin, you haven’t chose the formal name for the babies, have you have a thought about it?” Old Madame Sheng remembers about it.
In the past she discussed with Old Madame Yan and Old Madame Jing about giving each of the family name to each children so Yan family will have one heir and Sheng family will have one heir. But Old Madame Jing doesn’t accept it.
“No, Jing family great grandsons should bear Jing family name.” Old Madame Jing responded that time.
“I haven’t thought about it.” Ye Qing Xin says honestly. “I’ve chosen the nickname, let Bo Yuan chooses the formal name.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles.
Old Madame Sheng and Old Madame Yan are a bit regretful but they don’t blame her.
It is almost five o’clock.
Ye Qing Xin answers a call from Jing Bo Yuan that tonight he will have a business meeting dinner so he will come home a bit later.
Ye Qing Xin is breastfeeding one of the baby, she doesn’t anything much. The call ends and there’s another call.
It’s a call from the host of the compet.i.tion that she joined, he asks her to come over to see the ready-made clothes that has been manufactured completely for September fashion show.
Ye Qing Xin thanks him and gives the time to meet up. Then she hangs up.
She still has several days to go for complete her month of confinement, that day the three little guys will turn a months old. She decides to go there on September 3rd.
Her individual fashion show is schedule on September 25th, in Paris School of fine arts area 6.
Her individual fashion show is very close to B university hundred years anniversary, which is on September 28 th. That time Ye Qing Xin should be still there.
It’s too far away, she cannot bring her own kids. She lowers her head and looks Mu Mu, who is in her embrace. Mu Mu is looking at her with his big black eyes, while swallowing his saliva too.
She thinks she should start to save some milk for her little guys.
At night ten o’clock.
Jing Bo Yuan comes out from Shu Guang Qing Cheng, Luo Feng helps to open the door for him.
On the way home in the car, Luo Feng drives the car and says: “Gu Qiao’s lawyer today hands over the registration for her release from custody while the investigation is still going on. He wants to help her to be out for a while.
He says it then raises his head to look at the rear-viewed mirror. He tries to see Jing Bo Yuan’s expression.
“But we have given a warning to them so they give an excuse to stop it.”
Jing Bo Yuan closes his eyes and says nothing.
“Today Gu Xing De and Old Madame Gu come over to the mansion. They left with bad face. They should not be able to persuade Old Madame Yan.
It’s not that Luo Feng is paying attention to Gu family, Luo Feng is not Jing City people. Last year, his younger cousin came to Jing City, he asked for his help to find job. Luo Feng just places him as the security guards of Nan Shan Mansion.
That cousin of him is clever and quick-witted, several times he notices Lou Feng drives the car. He quickly knows that Luo Feng’s boss is living at Nan Shan mansion number 8.
“Old Madame was confused before, she shouldn’t be confused anymore.”
A deep man voices says it. Luo Feng nods and replies: “Gu Xing De will not stop now. In the future I’m afraid he will keep coming over to look for Old Madame Yan. In the future if he comes again, we will not give him a chance to call, it’s better to stop him so he will not disturb Tai Tai.”
Jing Bo Yuan says nothing.
He doesn’t refuse and just agrees silently.
Luo Feng has been by his side for so many years, so he knows his boss quite well.
After twenty minutes, the car stops in front of the Nan Shan mansion number 8. Luo Feng watches till Jing Bo Yuan gets inside and just leaves.
He pa.s.ses the security guard area and a young male with a bright smile comes over to greet him.
“Biao Ge.”
“Why aren’t you going home yet?” Luo Feng follows him inside the security guard room.
“One of my colleague is sick so I help him out.” He takes a chair and let Luo Feng sits down. “It’s late too, you just send your boss home? Your boss is shoudl be busy.”
“If he is not busy, how can he live in this luxurious mansion? How can the company be listed on stock market?”
The cousin serves him a cup of tea. Lou Feng drinks it.
“Biao Ge is right. I heard that this year Bo Wei group has earned a lot of money again. Your boss takes five percent of the profits to share with all the employees. A person can earn several ten thousand right?”
Luo Feng smiles. “You have a great source of news.”
Luo Feng thinks that the time for exchanging conventional greetings is enough, he says. “Our Chief Jing’s Tai Tai just gave birth to the kids. She needs to time to recover but recently a lot of things have happened. It makes our Tai Tai feels unhappy.”
“Biao Ge means those who came this afternoon to Nan Shan Mansion had disturbed Jing Tai Tai?” Luo Feng’s younger cousin is indeed very smart and immediately responds. “In the future, if they come, I’ll just stop them in front.”
Luo Feng smiles and looks at his own cousin. He stands up and pats his shoulder. He says: “It’s late, I’ll go home first. Work well.”
Beginning of the Autumn, though in the morning and afternoon it’s not really hot, but in the early evening it’s very cold.
Jing Bo Yuan comes inside the house and notices that Ye Qing Xin is sitting down on the sofa. Her top two b.u.t.tons are undone. She is using a breast pump now. On the coffee table there are two baby’s bottle. One is full and one is empty.
“What are you doing?”
Ye Qing Xin is concentrating, his voice surprises her. She turns her head to look at him. She blushes and says: “I’m saving the milk.”
Jing Bo Yuan sits down beside her and strokes her head. “Don’t force yourself too much.”
Ye Qing Xin raises up her head to look at his gentle gaze: “No, next month I’ll go to Paris. Maybe I’ll stay there for few days. I should leave enough milk for them.”
She smiles: “It’s a bit painful in the beginning but now it’s not.”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything, he goes to the babies’ room to look at the kids then goes to the bathroom to get ready for bed.
When he comes out, Ye Qing Xin has successfully filled in the three bottles. She seals it and writes on the date. Then she wants to go downstair to put it inside the refrigerator.
Jing Bo Yuan takes it from her. “Go sleep first, I’ll put it downstair.”
“Auntie Zhang makes a s.p.a.ce in the top freezer.”
Jing Bo Yuan nods.
The breast milk can only be stored for 3-5 days, putting in the freezer can make it last longer around three months.
Jing Bo Yuan puts the three bottles inside the freezer. When he turns his body, he notices Old Madame Yan is standing in front of the kitchen.
“Wai Po.” He speaks up.
“Is Xin Xin asleep?” Old Madame Yan asks.
“When I went downstair, she hasn’t. Is there anything Wai Po want to talk to me?”
“I and Xiao Ge (Old Mister Yan) are old.” Old Madame Yan speaks up, the time she was young she used to call Old Mister Yan as Xiao Ge. When she is old, she calls him as Old Mister Yan. It’s been a long time.
“I just had a dream before. I dreamt that I and Xiao Ge will meet Tong Tong soon. We did what we used to do. We sat down on our house lawn, drank tea, and chatted. There’s even Tong Tong’s dog, that she used to pet……”
Jing Bo Yuan pours a warm water for Old Madame Yan.
Old Madame Yan says: “Actually recently I keep on dreaming about this. In the past after Tong Tong’s accident, no matter how much I miss her, I never dreamt about her. But after I am sick, I keep on dreaming about it. It’s getting frequent. It’s like a signal.”
“You are overthinking this.” Jing Bo Yuan pours a gla.s.s of warm water for himself and he drinks it.
“Whether it’s true or not, it’s okay. For some things, it’s better to make a plan beforehand.” Old Madame Yan holds the gla.s.s. “I and Xiao Ge has discussed that now Xin Xin is still young. To just shove her to that high position, it’ll be hard for her to face that old foxy men. So we just think to let Bo Wei to take control of Jing Yan group. When Xin Xin is capable, you can hand over Jing Yan to her.”
Old Madame Yan looks at Jing Bo Yuan’s eyes. “You are the one that I also watched to grow up. Wai Po understands your behavior. You’ll not forget what is right at the sight of profit. These period of time I can see that you are sincere toward xin Xin.”
Jing Bo Yuan’s capability and means in the business world. Old Mister Yan and Old Madame Yan see it all. It’s rational to hand over Jing Yan to him.
Ye Qing Xin is just twenty one years old woman, no matter it’s about age or capability. She is not compatible yet to control a large- scale company. She still needs experience for several years.
“Before Xin Xin has capability, I’ll help her to handle Jing Yan.” Jing Bo Yuan gives an answer.
Old Madame Yan returns to her room. The door is just closed and suddenly her body bends. She covers her chest and her face turns pale.
“Old Madame Yan!” w.a.n.g Li Ta is shocked and responds quickly by taking out Old Madame Yan’s medicine. She takes out several tablets and takes a gla.s.s of water. Old Madame Yan takes the medicine.
“Are you okay now?” w.a.n.g Li Ta holds Old Madame Yan and takes her to the bed.
Old Madame Yan’s hands keep on trembling, she cannot control it.
The time she feels a bit better, her whole body is full of sweat.
“Let’s sleep.” Old Madame Yan’s sound is weak.
“Old Madame Yan, it’s better for you to go to the hospital to check…” Old Madame Yan cuts her off: “I’m okay.”
“But……” w.a.n.g Li Ta wants to persuade her again.
“Don’t tell Xin Xin about this, I don’t want her to be sad.” Old Madame Yan closes her eyes, “At the last time, I want to see her be happy.”
Recently Old Madame Yan’s illness has turned worse, the dose of the medicine has been doubled. She has taken too much, her kidney has a slight problem. For hiding this from her granddaughter, she doesn’t want to go to the hospital.
Perhaps she understands about her own health, it’s useless even though she is going to the hospital.
w.a.n.g Li Ta heaves a sigh and turns off the light. It’s sooner or later.
w.a.n.g Li Ta thinks though she doesn’t want to tell her own granddaughter, shouldn’t she just tell grandson-in-law?
Jing Bo Yuan returns to the room, he opens the door and sees that Ye Qing Xin is leaning on the head of the bed. The lower hem of her nightie is lifted up, she is caressing her own belly.
Though her weight has lowered down, she even looks even skinnier before she was pregnant. But she feels her belly is a bit sluggish, it’s not looking.
She feels somewhat sad.
Hearing the door is opened, she hurriedly tidies up her clothes and smiles at him. “What is taking you so long?”
“I chatted with Wai Po for a while.” Jing Bo Yuan closes the door and pa.s.ses her a gla.s.s of water with honey to Ye Qing Xin. “Drink a bit and sleep.”
These two days she has problem with her digestive system, the doctor advised her to drink that.
“I forgot about that.” Ye Qing Xin smiles and takes it. She drinks it and puts it down. “Today Gu Xing De and Gu family’s Nai Nai came over, you know about it right?”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t deny, he turns off the light and pulls her to his embrace.
In the dark, Ye Qing Xin can smell his scent. “I somehow feel that Gu Xing De is different from Gu Qiao and Huang Wei Juan.”
“Also Gu family’s Nai Nai was crying so heartbrokenly.”
Jing Bo Yuan kisses Ye Qing Xin’s hair. “Are you turning soft-hearted?”
“No, I just feel that before doing anything, we should think about those beside us. Gu Qiao did a lot of things and harms herself to get in the prison, but at the same time she also harms her own father to beg in petty and low manner. She harms Nai Nai to be so sad…”
Ye Qing Xin wants to say something else but her words seems to stop, “Bo Yuan….:
She is gasping for breath.
That man kisses her hairline, ear, and her neck. His hot breath sprays on her skin.
“I checked online that we need at least six week before we can….”
Ye Qing Xin holds Jing Bo Yuan’s face. Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and kisses her lips again.
She just realizes that the last time they did it, it’s on 1st of June, his birthday. It’s three months ago.
