After dinner, Ying Qingcang was not back yet. Xin Qing watched TV for a while and then yed with Le Le. But he still didn''te back. Xin Qing took a bath as usual. When she finished and came out, she suddenly realized what was going to happen tonight and did some rope skipping again in the garden.
As soon as Ying Qingcang came in, he saw her skipping around with sweat rolling from her head.
"You asked Young Master Shen toe to the house today?"
"Yes." Xin Qing felt the sweat on her forehead and was satisfied.
Ying Qingcang squinted and asked her, "What for?"
For the entire afternoon, that guy had been bragging in front of him, saying that Xiao Qingqing needed him so much and they two spent a happy day together... "Why didn''t youe to me if you had any problem? Why did you ask him instead?"
"There''s something work-rted that I don''t understand. So I asked him." Xin Qingined in her heart. "As if you knew nothing about it."
"I''ll take a bath ande to your roomter." Ying Qingcang looked at her with meaningful eyes and went upstairs.
Xin Qing agreed with a sound and moved slowly upstairs when Ying Qingcang was gone. She quickly put on her pajama, crawled into bed and waited. After tossing and turning for a long time, she gradually fell asleep.
Ying Qingcang spent quite some time on a phone call. When he came in, he saw that Xin Qing was wrapped like a ball and her small face was almost buried in the quilt.
Ying Qingcang lifted the quilt with quiet moves. He attached himself to her back, slowly put his arms around her waist and, with a little force, held her in his arms.
Xin Qing was already awake when he put his hands on her, but she stayed still and pretended to be sleeping with her eyes closed. When it was impossible to pretend anymore, she giggled.
"Why don''t you keep pretending?" Ying Qingcang was holding her.
Xin Qing suddenly thought of Chen Ming''s phone call today and asked him without thinking, "Chen Ming gave me a call and asked me to have dinner with him. Can I go?"
Ying Qingcang''s face immediately turned ck. "How can you think about that man at such moment?" Seeing his angry face, Xin Qing was about to exin when he kissed her with great violence.
Xin Qing was hurt. She pushed him away and sobbed. "You''d better kill me! Kill me! Why do I like a beast like you?"
Ying Qingcang suddenly stopped. He looked at Xin Qing, his eyes full of surprise and uncertainty. "You... Say it again..."
This man really liked her, didn''t he? Xin Qing saw sheer happiness in his eyes. Thinking of everything he had done for her, she grinned and yawned. "Say what?"
"Qing, say it again!" His eyes were filled with cautious expectation.
Xin Qing''s heart was dripping with sweetness because of how he called her just now. But she curled her lips and said, "I won''t. You''re like this all the time, growing angry even before I finish my sentence."
"You talk about another man, a man you want to marry, when you''re with me. I don''t deserve to be a man if I can keep myself calm under such a situation." Ying Qingcang defended himself naturally.
"He said his fiancée wanted to see me and have a meal together." Xin Qing suddenly looked at Ying Qingcang with gentle eyes, "If you don''t want me to go, then I won''t."
She thought of what Young Master Shen had said. Ying Qingcang was retarded in his EQ. He was angry because he cared about her and expressed in the most direct way. Thinking of this, Xin Qing didn''t want to argue with him anymore.
"Qing, I like you!" Ying Qingcang gave her a kiss. "I don''t know since when, but I''ve been thinking about you, here and here." Ying Qingcang put Xin Qing''s hand on his left chest and then dragged her downward. Xin Qing quickly drew her hand back.
In fact, Ying Qingcang wanted to say he loved her, but was a little shy and anxious. He should make a good preparation before confessing to her.
"So, say it again." Ying Qingcang was still restless. "Say that you don''t want to marry Chen Ming."
Xin Qing looked at him helplessly. "I never wanted to marry him. It was only a joke from childhood. Don''t worry about it anymore." Xin Qing covered her face with her hand. "I... I like you."
One secondter, she was raised by the man and screamed loud.
...
When she opened her eyes again, she was staring at a pair of deep ck eyes.
"Good morning." Ying Qingcang pecked her on the cheek. "Did you have enough sleep?"
Xin Qing''s eyes suddenly rounded. "What time is it? What time?" She asked while lifting the quilt, wanting to get up.
"Today is the weekend." Ying Qingcang immediately dragged her back.
Xin Qing thought for a second. Right. It was the weekend. She then stared at him and asked, "Why are you here?"
Ying Qingcang''s face darkened. "What you said yesterday was just a lie?"
"What... What did I say?"
"You confessed to me and said you like me." Ying Qingcang said, holding her tightly in his arms.
Xin Qing was finally sober and remembered what happenedst night. She blushed and said, "Bull... bullshit. It... It was you who confessed first."
"Even if it was me who confessed first. Do you want to deny now?" A dangerous signal went across Ying Qingcang''s eyes. Xin Qing bit her lips. "I''m not denying!" Then she was suppressed by Ying Qingcang.
"Let me help you to recall what happened!"
...
When Xin Qing finally got off of the bed, it was already at sunset. Ying Qingcang carried her downstairs, because she was so starving that her head began to swim and her eyes were misted. She restored her strength only after having arge bowl of porridge.
Ying Qingcang was sitting opposite her in full spirit, satisfied as a satiated lion! Xin Qing grimaced and cursed in her heart: What a beast!
"I''ll go with you tomorrow at noon." Ying Qingcang put a piece of fish into her bowl.
Xin Qing knew he was talking about the meal with Chen Ming. She nodded and kept silent. The only thing she wanted to do now was eating.
The next day, at noon, in the restaurant, Chen Ming was stunned at the sight of Ying Qingcang. He looked a little ufortable, but soon covered it up.
"Eh? Where is your wife?" Xin Qing sat down and then realized there was only Chen Ming.
Chen Ming poured some water into her ss and said casually, "She''s in a meeting, but she''lle soon."
Ying Qingcang twitched his lips and smiled at Chen Ming. Chen Ming returned a smile and asked, "I didn''t expect President Ying would have time toe."
"I''ll keep Qingqingpany no matter how busy I am." Ying Qingcang pulled over Xin Qing''s hand and put it into his.
Xin Qing tried to draw back but didn''t have enough strength. She could only let him be.
Ying Qingcang addressed her Qingqing, and the atmosphere between the two people was totally different from before. Chen Ming immediately realized something.
Since he left the hospitalst time, Xin Qing was no longer so close to him. He understood that Ying Qingcang must have exposed his n to Xin Qing. But he didn''t exin since Xin Qing didn''t ask.
The dishes were served one by one. Xin Qing looked toward the door and asked, "Shall we wait for your wife?"
"There''s no need. She is still very busy. Let''s start." As soon as Chen Ming finished his words, Xin Qing shouted. "Lu Manman! We''re here."
The private rooms of the restaurant were on the second floor with traditional partitions. The open skylight allowed customers in the private rooms to have a full view of the entrance hall on the first floor. Hearing the sound, Lu Manman raised her head and looked over. She seemed surprised and quickly went upstairs. Xin Qing was focused on the first floor. She didn''t notice Chen Ming''s face suddenly changed at the sound of his wife''s name.
But this didn''t escape Ying Qingcang''s eyes. He put on a faint smile and said to Chen Ming, "If you want to use other people, you''d better know their strength first. Or you''ll embarrass yourself."
Lu Manman came in. Xin Qing stood up and invited her to her seat. "Youe at the right time. The dishes are just served."
"Hehe, were it not for Xin Qing, I couldn''t find this ce!" She smiled at Chen Ming. But thetter showed no expression and pulled the chair for her.
When she took her seat, Lu Manman greeted Ying Qingcang politely. "President Ying, I''ve heard so much about you."
"Miss Lu is also very impressive." Ying Qingcang praised her while ncing over Chen Ming. Chen Ming chuckled and put some food on Lu Manman''s te. "I thought you couldn''t make it, but you came just in time. It''s better using while hot!"
Lu Manman looked at him with meaningful eyes. "Next time, I hope I cane with you."
"I''ll wait for you next time." Chen Ming lowered his head and began to eat.
Xin Qing felt so awkward during the meal. On their way back, she couldn''t hold anymore and asked Ying Qingcang, "Don''t you feel anything strange between Chen Ming and Lu Manman?"
"No, I don''t!" Ying Qingcang puckered his lips.
Xin Qing murmured to herself, "I always have the feeling that Lu Manman was very angry."
"Stop worrying. That''s their business. You''d better not see Chen Ming alone in the future. It would cause misunderstanding."
Xin Qing nodded obediently. "I agree. Lu Manman looked very smart. I dare not offend her."
"Yes, very good!" Ying Qingcang was very satisfied and seized the chance to steal a kiss.
Inside another car, Chen Ming and Lu Manman were silent.
"You still don''t give up?" Lu Manman looked at him, full of irony.
Chen Ming held the wheel and exined. "Don''t get me wrong. I just want to see if she''s alright. You know who Ying Qingcang is."
"Then why do you hide it from me?" Lu Manman asked angrily, "We''re just married and you go to see another woman behind my back. She''s someone else''s."
Chen Ming sighed. "Manman, I''m sorry! I''m so unthoughtful this time. I apologize." Chen Ming paused and said seriously, "Since I married you, I''ll be responsible for our marriage."
"As to Xin Qing, she''s my sister..."
Lu Manman nced at him and sneered in her heart. "Humph, sister? Who are you kidding?"
Early Sunday morning, Ying Qingcang went out. Xin Qing was bullied by him again the whole night. Her waist was so sour that she didn''t want to move at all. Sheyzily in bed until Ying Qingcang called in the afternoon, saying that someone woulde to do her hair. They would attend a jewelry fair at night.
At the sound of jewelry fair, Xin Qing''s spirit immediately returned, even though she still felt a little strange. She didn''t know there was a work exhibition of any designer recently.
In the evening, when Ying Qingcang came back to pick her up, he saw a beauty in red cheongsam standing in front of him.
