Ye Qing Xin finishes the administration process and returns to the sickroom.
Zhou Qiao Qiao is covered with her blanket neatly. The temperature in the room is also appropriate.
Ye Qing Xin looks around the room. It’s not really luxurious but it’s quite high end. It’s clean and neat. It’s spacious and bright. She could smell the disinfectant smell.
With just a call with Jing Bo Yuan, the treatment that she gets from the hospital changes drastically.
Ye Qing Xin once again experiences how being powerful and wealthy are good things.
How lucky she is to be able to get his protection.
After considering for several moment, Ye Qing Xin goes to the bathroom, she takes a clean towel and a basin full of warm water. She brings it out for wiping Zhou Qiao Qiao’s face.
There’s a trace of blood on her corner of lips.
When she comes out from the bathroom, the door is opened. Jing Bo Yuan comes inside with a middle-aged man with suit. Thhe doctor, who helped to arrange the room, also follows them in.
Ye Qing Xin is startled with this, she keeps on looking at Jing Bo Yuan. She isn’t sure what’s happening at the moment. The man behind Jing Bo Yuan, is a white-haired fifty years old man. He says with apologetic tone: “I’m eally sorry. The doctor has a bad memory and before he failed to recognize you, he let you stay along the corridor for a long time……”
The doctor also comes forward and apologizes to her: “It’s all my fault. I hope that Ms Ye can forgive me and don’t make things hard for me.”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t respond and just looks at Jing Bo Yuan.
Then she smiles and says generously: “I’m satisfied with your doctor’s arrangement for my Ma. Thank you.”
It means that she doesn’t plan to discuss about it anymore.
The doctor and the director of the hospital are relived.
Then Jing Bo Yuan just orders them: “It’s late, you guys should go back and have a rest.”
The director of hospital just says: “Chief Jing, if you have any other inquiry, please just call me directly. I’ll definitely will arrange it. Then we will not disturb you guys.”
Jing Bo Yuan nods.
Before both of them leave, they bid their goodbye politely at Ye Qing Xin.
The time they come out, the director wipes all his cold sweat. He didn’t expect that this woman is related to a man like Chief Jing.
“Director Zheng, are they relatives? I don’t think they are relatives. I feel like they are in relationship like a bankroller and his young lover.”
He looks at the doctor and says: “You are smart!”
The doctor smiles awkwardly and doesn’t dare to say anything else.
“We are lucky that Ms Ye is not a difficult person. With Chief Jing’s power, if Ms Ye makes thing hard for us, I’m afraid the whole hospital will experience a disaster.”
“In the future be more smart and polite, cut out your action like a snob. Maybe a rock that you see, is an emerald. Next time, if this happens, you’ll not be this lucky!”
The doctor bows and nods.
“But this Chief Jing is really secretive. He has a young lover but no one knows about it. How can the media not expose it?”
“Young man, remember my words. The media will not dare to expose the most powerful one, they will not offend them. Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t only have money, but also power. Without his approval, not only media cannot expose his young lover, they even cannot expose his legal wife. He usually only be exposed to things that related to his business, Bo Wei.”
After the doctor and the director leave, the sickroom turns silent.
Ye Qing Xin frowns and watches the man in front her from top to bottom. The first time she cannot think what’s wrong.
She smiles and let him to sit down. Then she goes to her mother with the towel and basin. She wrings it to let it a bit dry and wipes Zhou Qiao Qiao’s corner of lips.
She seems to be so concentrated in her task, while actually she is thinking about Jing Bo Yuan.
She knows that he is watching her movement.
When she is done, she brings back the basin and towel back to the bathroom.
She looks at the mirror that reflects her face.
Her hair is in a mess. She looks somewhat miserable, her face is pale and tired. She seems to be an ordinary beautiful woman. All along she cannot understand why he can be good to her? How can he be so caring and considerate to her.
Because she is beautiful?
But there’s a lot of beautiful women in this society, especially in Jing City. With his power, there’s should be a lot of beautiful women feel attracted to him?
What Jing Bo Yuan likes about her?
She remembers Yu Qing You’s words toward her: “Who is Jing Bo Yuan? You can have him? Why aren’t you consider your position?
Sometimes in her midnight dream, Ye Qing Xin considers about it, she is too different from Jing Bo Yuan. Not only because of their age difference, but also the position and family. She cannot not admit that she has claimed connection with people in higher social class.
She starts to let her imagination run wild.
Could it be his caring act toward her, like a rich man’s treatment with a young woman because of a short attraction? When it’s lose it’s hotness, she will be abandoned?
He seems to never say that he likes her, or perhaps loves her. The first time they start dating, he just asked whether she is willing to give her heart to him. She answered that she is willing. It’s so simple and direct. She even gave up to be reserved that time.
Someone says that when a man easily gets a woman, he will not treasure the woman.
She and Jing Bo Yuan has encountered an almost “a minor incident that sparks a war” several times. She never rejects it, but it always stops because of external factor. If not maybe she will be his.
After a while.
She just calms herself and washes her face with the cold water.
What is she thinking about? Jing Bo Yuan is not that kind of person, he is different.
Maybe this night she has experienced a lot of shocks that it messes with her feeling.
She raises her head to see the mirror and notices Jing Bo Yuan is leaning on the door and watching her.
He seems to notice her thinking.
She is startled for awhile then turns her body and walks toward him.
The time she is in front of him, she raises her head and looks at his face. She smiles sweetly: “Why are you standing over here?”
Jing Bo Yuan is much taller than Ye Qing Xin. He looks at the face of the twenty years old girl. She is white and tender. Her face is exquisite without any pore or wrinkle. But her face is blushing heavily. He doesn’t know it’s because of hot water or her feeling.
He places his hand on her waist: “I see that you take too long to be inside the bathroom so I come over to see what are you doing?.
He looks at her eyes: “what were you thinking about?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles and touches his face: “I am thinking, a perfect man like you, how can you choose to be with an ordinary woman, like me? Is it because you love me?”

Short intermezzo:
After few years, one night.
After their exercise, Mrs Jing suddenly thinks how careless she is to decide to be with someone. She starts to be unhappy.
Mr Jing looks at his just happy wife. His happy wife looks to ignore him now. He is wearing his pants and feels puzzled.
He pulls her to his embrace: “what is it baby?”
Mrs Jing pouts: “You don’t love me, I want to break up with you.”
Mr Jing is helpless. She should remember about his initial confession, the one that he didn’t say that he loves her.
Then he takes her hand and kisses it. He says seriously: “Xin Xin, I love you. Can you be my girlfriend?”
Mrs Jing pulls her hand from his grip violently and acts proudly and cold: “No!”
Ms Jing: “……..”
Outside the adorable steamed stuffed bun yells excitedly: “Right, Mama, you must by all means not agree to be Papa’s girlfriend. Papa is mine, wait until I’m older I want to marry Papa!”
Mr Jing, Mrs Jing: “…………..”
