Ye Qian chuckled and said, “This fella likes to talk nonsense, ignore him.”
However, in regards to Ye Qian, Qin Yue was very curious. She really did not believe that he was simply just Zhao Ya’s bodyguard. But since Ye Qian wouldn’t say more about it, it would be no use to ask. She nodded and returned her attention to the exhibit.
Ye Qian glared at Jack firmly and said in a low voice, “Don’t you guys mess around. This is China. If things go out of hand then all our plans will be ruined.”
“Boss, when did you become afraid of the head and terrified of the tail (idiom: afraid and nervous over slightest thing)? This is a good opportunity. We’ve already had it all planned out. I guarantee that we can stay in China without having to lie low and those blockheads from the NSB will never find out.” Jack said with a laugh.
Ye Qian shook his head helplessly and said, “Don’t underestimate the NSB, they aren’t vegetarians, any sign of trouble pops up they’ll know. But since you have it all arranged, I won’t say anything more. Just don’t make too much a scene and we’re good.”
[TN: Vegeterian is an idiom for weakling in mandarin...]
Jack chuckled mischievously and nodded, “Understood.” After saying this folded his laptop closed and rose to leave, then suddenly he looked as if he remembered something, he turned his head and said to Ye Qian, “Boss, there’s more to sister-in-law than meets the eye, seize this chance well.”
Ye Qian smiled helplessly. It turned out that this fella did not remain idle, most likely he had dug into Qin Yue’s background and now knew it all well. A computer genius like Jack wouldn’t have a hard time finding out information about a person. But Ye Qian did not ask for details, it wasn’t urgent, he could find it all out after the night was over.
The jewelry exhibit was already coming to an end, the voice of the host sounded from the stage, the last of piece of jewelry, a necklace named “Star’s Love”, was about to be put on stage. As the hosts voice sounded the curtain fell, a Chinese model wearing the necklace went up on stage. This necklace was created by the famous designer Mary for the eastern woman. Not only could it bring out the woman’s subtle gentle grace, it could also incarnate her charms.
Even Ye Qian, who didn’t know very much about jewelry, couldn’t help but admire the piece when he saw it. One couldn’t help admitting that Mary understood very well the differences between the eastern women and the western women. When this necklace was put on it could completely reveal the exclusive charms of an eastern woman.
Qin Yue’s cool and elegant expression changed along with the appearance of the “Star’s Love”, slightly revealing a little excitement, her body couldn’t help trembling a bit. Ye Qian could feel the change in her, it seems that Qin Yue was deeply interested in this necklace.
The exhibit was now over and the curtains dropped to conclude it. After a half hour break, the auction would begin.
“Big sister Yue, you also came? Eeh! Why are you here too?” After Ye Qian and Qin Yue went to the lounge in the next room to rest, a female voice like the sound of an oriole came into their ears.
Ye Qian turned his head to look and saw Zhao Ya, he chuckled mischievously and said, “Wife, you’re also here.”
“Ah, you gangster, who are you calling your wife.” Zhao Ya replied angrily. Qin Yue smiled lightly on the side, not revealing that Ye Qian was a bodyguard her father had hired for Zhao Ya. After Zhao Ya spoke, her eyes turned to Qin Yue and she asked in astonishment, “Big Sister Yue, why are you with this gangster?”
“Are you jealous?” Qin Yue asked. Since she didn’t know how to explain she decided to change the subject. She understood Zhao Ya’s temperament very well so she had plenty of ways to deal with her.
As expected, when Zhao Ya heard the teasing question, she forgot all about wondering why Qin Yue was with Ye Qian at this jewelry exhibit. “Big sister Yue, you’re also making fun of me. This gangster has wronged me so much, and you also won’t help me, how can we be considered sisters.” Zhao Ya replied in a childish manner.
“How did he wrong you?” Qin Yue asked Zhao Ya with a teasing look.
“He… he… he’s an old cow that wants to eat young gra.s.s ” It seemed as if Ye Qian hadn’t done anything untoward to her at all, and Zhao Ya could only muster up this lame excuse.
[TN: Old cow young gra.s.s = idiom we’ve seen before: older man having relationship with younger woman.]
Ye Qian did not know whether to laugh or to cry, after a moment of silence, he said, “How am I an old cow that wants to eat young gra.s.s, I’m only at least four years older than you. Besides, this is what Uncle Zhao wanted. If it weren’t because of this, do you think I’d be willing to marry you? You don’t have the body or the face. Look at Big Sister Yue, she’s more womanly by a long shot.”
“You… you… ah….” Zhao Ya grabbed Ye Qian’s arm violently and chomped down, “Sss…..” Ye Qian couldn’t helped hissing. How could he forget that Zhao Ya was a dog that liked to bite people.
“Big Sister Yue, do you see now? This rogue is always bullying me. Help me find justice.” Zhao Ya said after letting go of Ye Qian’s arm. She took Qin Yue’s arm and swung it endearingly like a spoiled child.
These two people were actually close friends and already had many experiences together so they were familiar with each other. No one in school knew about Zhao Ya’s and Qin Yue’s relationship, but in private Qin Yue considered Zhao Ya as her little sister. So, usually Qin Yue would do her best satisfy this little sister’s wishes. Qin Yue had known Zhao Ya for a very long time now so she could clearly see that this girl did not actually feel a lot of disgust and enmity towards Ye Qian. At the most it was only because Ye Qian called himself her fiance that incited her resistance, so that whenever she saw him her expression would turn sour.
Qin Yue smiled lightly and said, “This matter is between you two so an outsider like me can’t interfere. You two are like a couple fighting, if I help you chide this fellow next time, you might blame me. Anyway, there’s nothing I can do about this wicked man.”
“Big Sister Yue, why are you bullying me too. Forget it.” Zhao Ya said, then she turned her away in feigned anger.
Of course Qin Yue could tell that this girl was only pretending but she still played along and went over to smooth things over. Qin Yue really had a soft spot for Zhao Ya.
“Boss, your luck with women is not shallow.” Li Wei, who had suddenly stealthily appeared beside him, said teasingly and chuckled mischievously.
Since Zhao Ya had come, naturally Li Wei, who was acting her bodyguard, would also be here, so Ye Qian was not surprised. Ye Qian glanced at him and said, “Do you know what that fellow is planning?”
“It’s not all that clear to me, it seems as though he prepared a big jewelry heist.” Li Wei replied.
