This woman’s pa.s.sionate action is very sudden, he remains calm Ye Qing Xin’s body. He doesn’t let her stomach to b.u.mp into his body.

Her lips probes his lips. Her little tongue has her own sweet smell, it mixes with his light peppermint toothpaste.

Jing Bo Yuan enjoys her initiatives. Both of his hands stroke her back.

In the next moment.

Ye Qing Xin suddenly raises her head and blames him: “You drank alcohol”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t deny: “I couldn’t decline it before. I just drank one.”

“Didn’t I tell you that you cannot drink? Your stomach is not well yet.” Ye Qing Xin moves closer and rubs his stomach: “Is it in pain?”

Jing Bo Yuan watches her caring action, he strokes her face: “I’m okay.”

“No, I’ll take a medicine for you.” She stands up.

Jing Bo Yuan stops her and let her sit back: “Sit down, I’ll take it by myself.”

Ye Qing Xin watches him take out the box of medicine from the drawer. He takes the stomachache medicine.

She stands up and comes over: “Are you hungry?”

She doesn’t wait for his answer and just walks to the kitchen. “I’ll cook a noodle for you okay? I cannot cook anything else well. Luckily, noodle is very good.”

Jing Bo Yuan drinks his water and swallows the tablet. That woman is inside the kitchen room.

He walks toward the kitchen. He sees Ye Qing Xin is filling the pot with water. He moves closer to her and takes the pot from her hold. “Go outside and sit down.”

Ye Qing Xin stands there and doesn’t go out: “Do you think that I cannot do it well?”

She looks a bit disappointed, she remembers that two times before she cooked noodle for him, she broke his precious bowls.

Compared to him, indeed she is a careless and clumsy one.

“You know that you cannot do it well but still want to show off your skill.” Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and turns his back. He goes to the refrigerator to take ingredients.

“….” Ye Qing Xin watches him taking out the ingredients out of the refrigerator, cutting the vegetables. She comes closer to him and hugs him from behind. She sticks her face close to his back.

“Though I cannot cook a delicious food, but I can do something very good…..”

Jing Bo Yuan notices her seriousness and laughs lightly: “for example?”

Ye Qing Xin is silent for a while, she strokes his stomach lightly. Then the next moment, she shifts her hand to his chest, she could easily unb.u.t.ton his shirt. Her hand lingers on his st.u.r.dy chest. She kisses his back.

Ye Qing Xin is not that insensible and innocent young woman.

Jing Bo Yuan slows down his action.

Ye Qing Xin notices that man’s action turns slow. She smiles and just retreats from his body: “You will cook right? Then I’ll not disturb you.” She doesn’t hesitate and goes out from the kitchen

It’s clear that she did it in purpose.

She ignites the fire but neglects her responsibility.

Jing Bo Yuan watches her leaving, he lowers his head and notices his undone shirt. It shows his naked chest. He smiles for a while and b.u.t.tons up his shirt. He continues to cook.

After around ten minutes, two bowls of noodle are ready on the table.

Ye Qing Xin hears Jing Bo Yuan is calling her so she puts down her laptop and runs over. The noodle looks appetizing. There is minced meat on top of it, few green vegetables and one poached egg.

“Thank you, Jing Xian Sheng.”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles.

His phone suddenly rings. He takes it out and answers it while he helps to pull the chair to let Ye Qing Xin sits down.

Ye Qing Xin sits down and listens to his call. “You should call Xiao Yan.”

Xiao Yan? Ye Qing Xin remembers that he is Jing Bo Yuan’s best friend.

She is thinking about it, and hears Jing Bo Yuan says again: “Don’t forget you are thirty four years old adult, you are not three years old kid. You should know how to deal with things.”

His tone is strict and serious.

It should be Xiao Lian.

Ye Qing Xin can guess who is the caller. She lowers her head and starts to eat.

Jing Bo Yuan ends the call and calls another number. Jing Bo Yuan says: “Your sis is in trouble. Go over there and take a look.” Then he just hangs up again.

Ye Qing Xin waits for him to sit down and she just chews the egg. She asks indifferently “Xiao Lian?”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t deny. He just says “em”.

“It’s late night, what happened to her?” Ye Qing Xin looks at Jing Bo Yuan, her tone is a bit jealous, “Your ex-girlfriend is in difficult situation, you as ex-boyfriend will not go to be a hero?” Maybe there will be a situation where old romantic relationship starts to grow again.

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t say her last word. She just chews her egg.

Jing Bo Yuan glances at her and looks how violent she is chewing her egg. He picks his poached egg on his bowl with his chopsticks and puts it inside her bowl. He says: “Are you jealous?”

Ye Qing Xin looks at her bowl and says lowly: “No.”

Ye Qing Xin is indeed somewhat jealous of this. Now it’s already 09:00 p.m. Even his man friends shouldn’t call him at this time to disturb, moreover a friend with a household.

Based on what she heard before, Xiao Lian chose to call him……

She also admitted before that she still likes Jing Bo Yuan.

Ye Qing Xin feels somewhat agitated, why there’re lots of women keep on longing for this man?

After the dinner, Jing Bo Yuan stands up to tidy up.

Ye Qing Xin follows behind him to go to the kitchen, she doesn’t wash dishes, she just lean on a wall and watches him do it. She likes the fact that even though he is a businessman and successful, at home he doesn’t mind to do the house ch.o.r.es. Just like an ordinary man, he is willing to cook and wash dishes for her. Ye Qing Xin feels that any woman will also like this.

“What are you looking at?” Jing Bo Yuan is done. He comes closer to her.

The room is warm, he is wearing a thin shirt and pants. She can see his st.u.r.dy muscle. He looks serious when he is not smiling, but his eyes are gentle and watching her. It makes her heart beats so quick. She cannot control it.

She lowers her eyes and carelessly she touches his pants on his zipper part. She suddenly thinks of something indescribable, her face turns red.

“You need to go upstair and sleep, it’s late.”

Ye Qing Xin suddenly raises her head. She hugs his neck and pulls him closer to her face. She kisses his lips. Their lips touch each other, she says gently: “I take back my words before. Your ex-girlfriend is in difficult situation, you as her ex-boyfriends are not allowed to act as a hero for her. You are mine now.”

Jing Bo Yuan hugs her and turns her to lean on the wall.

Jing Bo Yuan starts to kiss her again.

He undoes her two top b.u.t.ton of her nightgown. His breath turns rushed and disorder. Before the thing turns out of control, he speaks up: “Xin Xin, you are my first wife and also my first girlfriend.”

Ye Qing Xin is startled. Jing Bo Yuan carries her up back to the master bedroom. Jing Bo Yuan goes to take a bath after he puts her down on the bed. The time he is showering, she is thinking about his words.

She is his first girlfriend, then what about Xiao Lian? Was she….. lying to her?

She remembers that she also heard that Cheng Ru Yu had said about Jing Bo Yuan was dumped by his ex-girlfriend. She is confused. She doesn’t know what is the truth.

She looks at the coffee table and notices there’s Jing Bo Yuan’s watch on it. It was given by her. She suddenly just feels relieved that she should trust Jing Bo Yuan rather than other people.

Ye Qing Xin hears that he is still showering, she just gets inside the restroom. Jing Bo Yuan is inside the shower room, the gla.s.s around the shower room is covered by the vapor of the hot water. Jing Bo Yuan looks at her.

Ye Qing Xin smiles at him and says: “I get in to brush my teeth. In the past you said that doing together will save more time….” She directly goes to the front of washstand and takes her own toothbrush and toothpaste. The time she just starts to brush her teeth, the sound of water stops.

“Crack” the door of shower room is opened.

Ye Qing Xin is shocked when she looks at the mirror. From the mirror, she can see all the view of the shower room.

“Xin Xin.” Jing Bo Yuan suddenly speaks up: “you can look over, I don’t mind.”

“….” Ye Qing Xin blushes and lowers her head. She continues to brush her teeth.

Jing Bo Yuan wraps himself with towel and goes out.

Ye Qing Xin finishes brushing her teeth. The time she comes out from the bathroom, just in time she looks Jing Bo Yuan is stuffing the cigarette inside his mouth.

She knows that before she is pregnant, though he purposely controls his urge to smoke that he doesn’t smoke in front of her. But he used to smoke around two or three cigarettes everyday. The time he knows that she is pregnant, he just stops smoking even without her presence. She notices that these days there’s no tobacco scent on his body.

Stop smoking is very hard thing.

Jing Bo Yuan notices her and just puts the cigarette back on the table. Ye Qing Xin doesn’t ask whether it’s hard for him to stop. She just walks toward her and hugs him again. She kisses her lips again while her little hands starts to get into his pajamas.

Jing Bo Yuan stops her hands and says: “It’s late. Let’s sleep.”

Ye Qing Xin just sits stubbornly on his thigh. She kisses her neck and attempts to provoke him.

Jing Bo Yuan turns helpless and holds her shoulder. He tries to remover her from his body: “Xin Xin, now you need to have a good rest.”

Ye Qing Xin looks at him: “you don’t want to do it?”

Jing Bo Yuan carries her up and pulls the blanket. Then he just covers her up with the blanket. Then he switches off the lamp. It’s clear that he wants her to sleep.

Ye Qing Xin; “…….”

She suddenly notices that this man has a good self-control. He could control his smoking addiction and also his pa.s.sion.

In the darkness, Ye Qing Xin feels his warm embrace.

“Bo Yuan…”

“Em.”

“I can.” Her right hand starts to stroke his waist of trousers.

Jing Bo Yuan holds her little hand and lowers his head to kiss her forehead: “let’s sleep.”

“Forget it if you don’t want.” Ye Qing Xin just turns her body and let her back faces him.

She likes being hugged from behind from him. It gives her feeling of safety and warmth.

The next day she starts school again. During the afternoon break, Jing Bo Yuan called her and said that he will pick her up. But Driver Lu, is the one that picks her up because something happens in the office.

When she arrives at home, she notices two new face appears in the mansion. Auntie Zhang introduces a chubby chef called Lu Kang. Jing Bo Yuan invited him to work at the mansion to be responsible for Ye Qing Xin’s meals; another one is a middle-aged woman that has same age as Auntie Zhang, called Chi Ming Xia. She was Jing family residence’s maid. Jing Bo Yuan asked her to come over the Nan Shan Mansion to take care of Ye Qing Xin. She will take turn with Auntie Zhang so there will be a maid to take care of her 24 hours.

Jing Bo Yuan just asked the maid from Jing family residence because he considers the safety and he also knows the maid’s background.

Ye Qing Xin smiles and greets them.

The dinner is cooked by Lu Kang. Ye Qing Xin eats it and notices that the dishes are similar to ones that she ate in Tang Ge. She asks Lu Kang: “Lu Shu (Uncle Lu), where did you work?”

Lu Kang smiles: “I was Tang Ge’s head chef. This morning I came to work as usual, but someone came over and invited me to be a personal chef. It’s so sudden, I still haven’t used to it. Tonight the foods might not really good, I’m sorry, Jing Tai Tai….”

“……”

“You are working here, would it be inconvenient for you?”

Ye Qing Xin remembers that it’s hard to go home after she tutored.

“Jing Xian Sheng gave me a buggy to go down so it’s okay. Hehe…”

Ye Qing Xin: “…….”

She forgot about it, Jing Bo Yuan also prepared a car for Auntie Zhang.

After the dinner, she goes upstairs and tidies up her things. Then she takes a shower.

When she is done, she goes downstairs again and sits down on the hanging chair. She takes her laptop with her too. She manages her email. She keeps on doing it until nine o’clock. Jing Bo Yuan hasn’t arrived home that time.

Ye Qing Xin puts down her laptop and calls Jing Bo Yuan.

“What is it?”

Ye Qing Xin directly knows that he is busy.

“Nothing. I just want to ask what time will you go home.”

“Maybe eleven. You should sleep first.”

“Em. Then mind your business. I’ll hang up first.” She adds: “don’t be too tired.”

“Em.”

Jing Bo Yuan is standing near the gla.s.s window of the meeting room. He is in the meeting. He turns his back when the call ends.

People around him start to shift their gaze from him and pay attention to the material.

They are guessing whether he is calling his wife?

Jing Bo Yuan sweeps his gaze around and says coldly: “Is it good to watch?”

Everyone starts to shiver and shakes their head……. after a while, they start to nod…..

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t continue and just says: “let’s continue.”

The meeting ends after an hour.

Jing Bo Yuan returns to his office room. Secretary Mi Mi stops her work and stands up. She says politely to him: “Chief Jing, I’ve put the newest laptop that you requested on your table.”

A month ago, Bo Wei launched the newest laptop. It has received a great review.

Jing Bo Yuan nods and opens the door. He notices the pink laptop bag on the table.

He picks it up and wants to leave.

Luo Feng notices that he wants to leave, he asks: “Chief Jing, are you going home now?”

Jing Bo Yuan looks that Luo Feng is bringing materials for him to read. He just says: “Put it on my table.”

Luo Feng puts it down then he follows Jing Bo Yuan down by his personal elevator. Luo Feng says: “Yu Wei has a bit of ability. Three of people that we send to get inside the Sheng company still have nothing. Those old men are quite loyal to Yu Wei.”

He has gotten the 21 % and 9 % of the Sheng company share from Yu Wei and Yu Geng Xin. Jing Bo Yuan privately plans something. He also purchased 11 % from others. Altogether Bo Wei has 41% of Sheng company share. He has five percent more share than Yu Wei. He is successfully hold the controlling share.

Yu Wei has became the second biggest share holder. He has managed Sheng company for more than ten years, he has complicated people relationship inside the Sheng company. If Bo Wei wants the full control, he should eliminate him.

Jing Bo Yuan holds the pink laptop bag and stands in the center of the elevator.

“Follow Yu Wei, you will find someone that helps him.” Jing Bo Yuan takes out his cigarette and continues: “Let someone investigate and observe him intensely. Who are his supporters, who are closed with him. He should have a weak spot.”

“Without any supporter, he will be nothing.” Luo Feng continues.

Luo Feng looks at Jing Bo Yuan, who just holding his cigarette between his fingers. He picks out his lighter to help him light it up

Jing Bo Yuan glances at him and says: “No need.”

Luo Feng just puts it back to his pocket.

He has been Jing Bo Yuan’s a.s.sistant for quite some time. He knows that he has strong addiction to smoking. But these days he seems only smoke one or two.

Before he knew that Jing Bo Yuan was controlling his smoking habit because Ye Qing Xin was pregnant. But after the accident, Jing Bo Yuan started to smoke a lot. But now he turns to control his smoking again. Can it be because Tai Tai is pregnant again?

But didn’t the doctor say that Tai Tai cannot conceive again?

Luo Feng couldn’t control himself to look at the rear-viewed mirror in the car. He notices the pink laptop bag beside Jing Bo Yuan. He realizes indeed love can change a person.

Since big boss has Tai Tai, indeed he changes a lot, sometimes he feels that he is …. human.

“Last month my wife started to have urge to vomit, we checked it up and guess what.” He doesn’t wait for Jing Bo Yuan’s answer. He answers it by himself: “She is pregnant, now it’s been three months. Everyday she asks me to buy her something sour. The time a woman is pregnant, she is so finicky. She gets angry easily. Sometimes I cannot bear it, but I don’t dare to do anything to him, what do you think Chief Jing?”

Luo Feng laughs.

Jing Bo Yuan looks at him and says: “It’s not entirely true.”

Ye Qing Xin is very sensible and understanding.

The time Luo Feng hears it, he knows that his guess is not wrong. “Tai Tai seems to be very gentle and sensible, she should not have a bad temper, unlike my wife. Sometimes her rage will explode to me.”

Jing Bo Yuan laughs lightly: “a.s.sistant Luo, you have turned so smart.”

He could arrange his words in a great way.

Luo Feng can notices his casual tone but also his warning. Jing Bo Yuan is not angry but he can notices something in his words. He smiles and replies: “I don’t dare.”

Luo Feng remembers about something and says: “This time there’s accident in Yuan Jing of Zhu Hai. Someone that we asked to investigate it, called me, he said that it seems to be a man-made accident.”

The accident harmed six people, three of them are dead. The news is not published so no one know about it.

Jing Bo Yuan is calm: “Continue to investigate it. Sends someone to to monitor the family of the victims. Even though it’s not really threatening our company but it will also have harmful effects.

“Yes, I understand.”

After a while, the car stops in front of the Nan Shan mansion number 8.

Jing Bo Yuan gets inside and changes his shoes. He goes inside the living room and notices Ye Qing Xin is sleeping on the hanging chair.

Auntie Zhang looks that Jing Bo Yuan is home. She comes over and says to him: “Xian Sheng, you are home. Before Tai Tai cooked a night snack for you. It is inside the pot. Do you want to eat now?”

Jing Bo Yuan nods and puts down the pink laptop bag. He goes to the hanging chair and carries Ye Qing Xin up. He takes her back to the bedroom and places her down on the bed.

He tidies up her hair and shifts it far from her face and kisses her forehead. Then he goes downstairs.

She made Chinese Yam porridge for him. It’s very sticky and smells good. He agrees that when someone is hungry, this kind of hot porridge makes his stomach feels very good.

The time he returns to the bedroom, Ye Qing Xin has changed her sleeping position but she doesn’t wake up.

Jing Bo Yuan takes a shower and then lays down on the bed. He hugs her from behind.

He didn’t turn on any light when he came inside the room because he is afraid that it’ll disturb her sleep.

The time he hugs her, she starts to move to look for a comfortable position.

Ye Qing Xin wakes up before the sun rises.

She notices a strong arm is hugging her tightly. She just realizes that this man should carry her up back to the room yesterday. She shifts his arm slowly and goes to the restroom. The time she finishes and comes out of the restroom, Jing Bo Yuan is awake and looking at his phone.

“Am I disturbing you?” Ye Qing Xin gets on the bed and returns to his embrace.

Jing Bo Yuan throws his phone back to the table and hugs her: “Today I need to go to Zhu Hai.”

Ye Qing Xin is startled: “For business meeting? How long?”

Jing Bo Yuan: “I’ll be back at the latest one week.”

“Oh.” Ye Qing Xin nods.

“Don’t drink too much during the business dinner. It’s best if you dont’ drink any. There’s a stomach medicine at home, there is no danger to be more precautious. The weather is really different from here, you need to bring more suitable clothes. Also, don’t work till late, try your best to take a rest before eleven o’clock….” Ye Qing Xin says it all like an old mother. He could notice that she is reluctant to be parted with him.

“Also, if there’s a beautiful young girl you can look at her, but you are not allow to have any interest, okay?”

Jing Bo Yuan laughs lightly: “okay.”

At 7:00 a.m. Jing Bo Yuan sends Ye Qing Xin to the B university. Ye Qing Xin hugs and kisses him before she gets off the car.

During the cla.s.s, Dou Weir’s phone keeps on vibrating and Dou Weir keeps on rejecting the call. Finally she turns it off.

During the break, she asks Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin, I have a question. The necklace your mother gave to you, where was it come from?”

Ye Qing Xin is confused: “Why are you asking this question?”

“I told you that I want to ask a jeweler to make the same one for me right? At the beginning there’s no problem. I already chose the diamond and paid the deposit. But starting from yesterday, the store keeps on calling me and asking me about the necklace. They asked me whether it’s mine. I asked them about it, but they didn’t explain to me clearly. Are yours a fake one, or real one? Could it be the rare one?”

Ye Qing Xin frowns: “rare one? If we have a rare one, why should we live a poor life?”

She orders Dou Weir: “If they ask you, don’t answer it. Just act like you don’t know about it.” It’s her mother’s inheritance, no matter where was it come from, how expensive it is, she wants to keep it safe.

Dou Weir nods: “em, I understand. I’ll say nothing. What if it’s really rare one, and someone wants to steal it?”

Ye Qing Xin: “…..”

She returns home at night. Jing Bo Yuan is not home, Ye Qing Xin just takes shower and doesn’t go down again.

She remembers about Dou Weir’s words. She opens her drawer and takes out the jewelry box. She takes out the blue diamond eye-pendant necklace. She remembers during the Old Madame Jing’s birthday, Gu Qiao also has the same one as her, the only difference it appears to be the other side of the eyes.

She also recalls that time Gu Qiao said it was designed by the dead Old Madame Yan’s son-in-law for her daughter. That year because it was so special, it created sensation and a lot of people made the fake one.

Ye Qing Xin is confused. Could it be the one on her possession is the high quality fake one with real diamond and real gold?

She thinks that should be the case.

But how can her mother have this kind of necklace? Ye Qing Xin thinks that this life she might know the answer.

She puts the necklace back and opens the new laptop that Jing Bo Yuan gave her.

This morning Jing Bo Yuan used his chin to point to the pink laptop bag on the sofa. He said that it’s for her. Ye Qing Xin is surprised. Indeed her laptop was crashing before, but he didn’t tell her to buy a new one.

This man always acts that way, he always does something without any prior notice.

She opens the laptop and finds out that he has moved all her file and software to the new laptop. Ye Qing Xin smiles. He always be so meticulous.

This time at the other place.

Dou Weir hangs up the call from the jewelry store. Then after fifteen minutes, it starts to ring again.

It’s another number.

She is impatient and answers it. She asks directly: “Are you done? I said that I don’t know about it. What do you want?”

“Hi, Is this Dou Weir?” It’s an unfamiliar woman’s voice. It’s a gentle woman voice.

“I am Sheng. I want to meet you, are you convenient to meet up?”

Dou Weir turns alert: “Today is too late. I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be afraid. I am not a mean person. Yesterday you came to the VCA store to make a blue diamond eye-pendant necklace. I am VCA chief. That necklace is related to me, I want to tell you its story. Perhaps if you hear it, you will be willing to tell me its whereabout.”
