When Sheng Wen Jun and Yan Tong perished, Old Mister Sheng and Old Madame Sheng are the first heir for the lavender manor. So the lavender manor turns to be in their name.
Sheng Wen Qiong showed her disapproval and complaint. But the time she thinks that when both of them die, the lavender manor will be hers. So she said nothing more about it.
Last year, Old Mister Sheng wanted to sell it and invest the money to the charity. Sheng Wen Qiong tried so hard to sto phim.
Ye Qing Xin is startled when she sees the paper: “This is…..”
“This is the lavender manor that your father built.” Old Madame Sheng explains: “Your Mama likes Provence lavender so much, your Papa spent five years to design and build the lavender manor that belongs to her. It’s so famous that people start to come over. Afterwards it turns to be a widely known tourist center.”
“This belongs to you, Xin Xin. Your Papa’s things, should be yours.”
Ye Qing Xin has heard about the beauty of that lavender manor. The time she just entered B university, she got the brochure about school tour to that beautiful lavender manor. That time she was busy earning money so she didn’t join.
Old Madame Sheng notices Ye Qing Xin is somewhat hesitatnt. She says: “Don’t worry. This is yours. You don’t need to do anything. Just let the employees to help you to take care of it. After two days, I will let the management department and manager to meet you.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “For this matter, you don’t need to rush it…..”
Old Madame Sheng: “Sooner or later this will be yours. It’s the same. You just need to sign it. You don’t need to worry about anything else.
Ye Qing Xin feels that there is nothing more to say because Old Madame Sheng insists on it. She just sits down and signs the paper.
“Don’t talk to anyone about this for. Let’s not tell your Gu Gu for the time being. Your Gu Gu might not be able to accept this for a while.”
Ye Qing Xin nods, she is not a talkative one.
At night 09:00 p.m.
Jing Bo Yuan comes home with a scent of smoke and alcohol.
Ye Qing Xin is sitting on the sofa with her laptop on. She is eating grapes too.
Hearing the door opens, Ye Qing Xin turns her head around. She puts away her laptop and stands up. She runs lightly toward Jing Bo Yuan. She hugs his waist and looks at him with her bright face: “You are home.”
That young woman looks so happy and it makes him feels happy too.
Jing Bo Yuan hugs her and says: “Your belly is big. You should be more careful.” Then he asks: “You don’t hate the smell on my body.”
During the business dinner, inside the private room, it is inevitable to have someone that smokes and drinks.
Ye Qing Xin smells his body and notices that mixture of smells.
“You are very smelly.” She smiles: “But I don’t dislike you.”
Jing Bo Yuan smiles and pinches her cheeks lightly. He asks: “What are you eating?”
Ye Qing Xin: “Grapes, it’s very sweet. Do you want to ry?”
Ye Qing Xin just stands on her tiptoes and kisses his lips without waiting for his response.
Her small tongue gets inside his mouth and tangles with his tongue.
He could taste a hint of sweetness on her. On the other hand, Ye Qing Xin can taste a hint of beer on his. She immediately takes out her tongue and looks at him with condemn gaze. “You drank alcohol before.”
Jing Bo Yuan strokes her face and says: “I just drank a bit.”
“Go take a shower. Then come out to eat a bit.” Ye Qing Xin leaves his embrace.
She goes out of the room after she sees Jing Bo Yuan is inside the bathroom. She asks the maid to prepare the soup and porridge that she prepared before for Jing Bo Yuan.
The time Jing Bo Yuan comes out of the room, on the coffee table he notices a bowl of porridge and sopu.
He dries his hair and walk toward the table. Ye Qing Xin watches him. He just wears a pants. Ye Qing Xin is immersed in his perfect body. Perhaps because it is too obvious that she is watching her, Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and asks: “Am I that good looking?”
Ye Qing Xin’s brain hasn’t fully worked yet, she just nods.
Looking at her naive expression makes Jing Bo Yuan just strokes her head and starsts to eat.
Ye Qing Xin keeps on watching him for a while then stands up to sit on his thigh. She sits there and hugs his neck. She kisses her lips.
Jing Bo Yuan kisses her too.
After a while.
“Next month on the tenth, it will be the final ceremony for the competition that I join. It will be held at Intercontinental hotel. Bo Yuan, the result is out. I get first place.”
Ye Qing Xin smiles happily.
Jing Bo Yuan smiles and says: “Great, keep on doing a good work.”
“Really, is it really great? I was so surprised when I heard about the result.”
“Em, I should say that I cannot believe it. Though I have Qi Ya La to help me s a model. But there’re also lot of famous model joins. I thought my winning chance wouldn’t big…”
“How can you not believe yourself?”
“It’s not because I am not believe about myself. I just see the reality. I focus on the strong points of the rivals. I cannot just let the fact go and just believe that I will win. What if I don’t win, I will be so disappointed then. This is a good surprise for me.”
“Connie called me this afternoon. I am officially Pear’s designer. She asked me to come over to sign the contract. She wants me to join the next season design. Though I’ll be very busy, but I look forward to it.”
“But Wai Po asked me to go to work in Jing Yan……”
Ye Qing Xin keeps on talking and Jing Bo Yuan just hugs her. He listens to her. He is patient.
At last, he strokes her head.
“It’s good to work hard, but don’t tire yourself out.”
Ye Qing Xin just smiles: “I know. My health is important, Bao Bao is the most important.”
“For the award ceremony, the organizer asked me to wear my own design, I prepare…..”
Her phone suddenly rings.
She stops talking and takes her phone near the laptop.
It’s late. She doesn’t know who will call her this late night.
She thinks about it and looks at the screen.
“Jie Jie.” Ye Qing Guo is crying.
Ye Qing Xin sits up straight and asks: “What is it?”
“Jie Jie, they will sell me. Jie Jie…. wu… Xiao Guo is afraid.”
“They will sell you?” Ye Qing Xin frowns: “What happened? Tell me slowly, who will sell you?”
“I heard secretly from Huang Shu Shu’s conversation with someone on the phone. He will sell me. Jie Jie, I don’t want to be sold. Help me…..”
“Don’t cry first. I will call He Shu Shu to ask you, okay? Jie Jie, will not let him sell you okay?”
She persuades Ye Qing Guo for a while, then she hangs up the phone. She immediately calls Huang He Lou.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t really believe about Ye Qing Guo’s description that he will be sold. She guesses that there should be a misunderstanding.
The call is answered.
“Jing Tai Tai, what makes you call me?” Huang He Lou speaks up first.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t talk to the point directly, she asks: “Huang Xian Sheng, is there something that you need to tell me?”
Huang He Lou hesitates and says: “You already know that Screenwriter Xu looked for Xiao Guo to join playing drama?”
“Join drama? Screenwriter Xu?” Ye Qing Xin is confused.
Huang He Lou explains: “I don’t know whether you know about Xu Yu Xian Sheng (Mr Xu Yu). He has made a lot of popular dramas like >……”
Ye Qing Xin never watches the movie, but she remembers that Jing Suo Suo used to watch it.
Ye Qing Xin says nothing and waits for Huang He Lou’s next explanation.
Huang He Lou continues: “His daughter inherits his business. She also is a screenwriter but she has no name yet. Recently, she prepares a movie and wants Ye Qing Guo to join. She wants Xiao Guo to be the male leading role”
Ye Qing Xin laughs.
“Being the male leading role? Huang Xian Sheng, are you joking with me?”
“I am not, Jing Tai Tai. I read the script, Ye Qing Guo will be the male lead.”
“The story narrates about a young couple that has an accident. That man is hurt that he injures his brain, he changes into someone that has IQ of six years old kid. Throughout the story the man doesn’t recover. Moreover, Screenwriter Xu describes the male leading role just like Ye Qing Guo, he is suitable one.”
Ye Qing Xin just hears to his words until he is done.
“Did you discuss about the contract today?”
Huang He Lou is surprised: “How do you know?”
Ye Qing Xin smiles. Ye Qing Guo should hear about this.
“At first I planned to call you tomorrow. I didn’t expect you know about it.”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t explain anything, she just says: “I will consider about this seriously first. After the tour performance is done, please send back Xiao Guo
back to the school on time.”
Huang He Lou: “Of course. After Jing Tai Tai has considered it, please give me an answer so I can get back to Screenwriter Xu too.”
Ye Qing Xin: “Em.”
The call ends. She wants to tell Jing Bo Yuan about it but she cannot say it. Jing Bo Yuan just says to her: “My advice is you should give a chance for Xiao Guo to progress.
Ye Qing Xin just shuts her mouth.
She watches him for a while: ” You think that I should let Xiao Guo enter that complicated circle?”
Jing Bo Yuan strokes her back and says: “Xin Xin, there is simple society. Everything has its bad and good. I just said that it is my own advice. You and Xiao Guo have the power to make decision.
He adds: “No matter what is your decision, I will support you.”
Ye Qing Xin calls Ye Qing Guo back and tells him that Huang Shu Shu doesn’t plan to sell him. She comforts him for a while. She asks him: “Xiao Guo, do you like acting? Or do you like to dress up like someone else, just like the time you are on stage?”
Ye Qing Guo just answers directly and firmly: “I like it.”
Ye Qing Xin is startled to hear his firmness and direct answer: “Why do you like it?”
“Xiao Guo in the future can ear my own chocolate.” Ye Qing Guo says his simple answer.
In his imagination, dressing up as someone else on the stage equals to having a lot of chocolates.”
Ye Qing Xin: “…….” She is confused whether to be happy or sad about it.
Ye Qing Xin gets off Jing Bo Yuan’s thigh and shuts down her laptop.
That laptop is Jing Bo Yuan’s laptop. Before she used it before, she called him to ask his permission.
Ye Qing Xin feels so complicated that she doesn’t know how should she decide.
Jing Bo Yuan notices her worry. The young woman, who always knows what she should and shouldn’t do, are worrying right now. He understands that for some time she might not know what should she do. But he says nothing else.
Both of them clean up and get on the bed to sleep.
In the darkness.
When she is in his embrace, she speaks up.
“Bo Yuan, I really cannot let him go into that complicated and complex society. Can you persuade me?”
Jing Bo Yuan says: “I have said everything that I can say to you. It’s all up to you to consider carefully.”
Ye Qing Xin: “…………”
After a moment of silence, Ye Qing Xin says again: “I really feel so afraid that I cannot be a good mother.”
Jing Bo Yuan: “No one is be born to be mother. we just need to learn it quickly. don’t worry about it.”
His words just shows that he places himself at the same level as Ye Qing Xin.
Ye Qing Xin nods: “Em.”
The next day, Ye Qing Xin goes to attend her morning class.
Ye Qing Xin notices two missed-call from unknown number. She notices it during the break between lessons.
She calls the unknown number back, it is answered.
“Hi.” Ye Qing Xin speaks up first.
“You are Ye Qing Guo’s Jie Jie right? I am Xu Jin Huan.” It’s a female voice.
Ye Qing Xin seems to understand er identity and motivation to call her.
“Can we meet and chat?” Xu Jin Huan asks.
Ye Qing Xin thinks about it and says: “Okay. I have time this mid-afternoon and at night.”
“Then just tonight.” Xu Jin Huan says: “I have time tonight. Let’s meet at seven o’clock at Bei An plaza. Are you okay with it?”
Ye Qing Xin: “okay.”
Dou Weir comes toward Ye Qing Xin: “With who do you have a date tonight?”
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t answer, she just asks: “I want to go to the restroom. Do you want to go too?”
Dou Weir looks at her watch: “We still have five minutes. We have time. Let’s go.”
The restroom is packed with people.
Dou Weir holds Ye Qing Xin while they cram in the crowd. Ye Qing Xin’s hands unconsciously cover her belly. She is wearing a loose knitted sweater.
Ye Qing Xin feels that a lot of people are looking at her belly. Ye Qing Xin frowns but she just remains calm.
When Ye Qing Xin and Dou Weir are done and washing their hands, they hear a conversation between two women.
“I saw it really clear. She is certainly pregnant. It seems to be six or seven months. It’s quite big.”
“Ah? So the gossip is true? Ye Qing Xin is really kept as a mistress and she is pregnant?”
“What is so strange about it. but she is pregnant. Either she needs to give birth to it secretly or she should abort it. She is really shameless with that obviously big belly. She is dare to come to university.”
“Perhaps she is married.”
“Are you joking to me. Those rich men should be married. If Ye Qing Xin’s kid is born, he/she will be an illegitimate child. She is just an ordinary student.”
“Ah, she is so beautiful. She has a lot of admirers. Why should she choose that way. It’s really a pity.”
“What should you pity her. It’s her own choice. that man is rich.”
The gossiping women are talking in normal voice, so both Ye Qing Xin and Dou Weir can hear it.
