I’ll promise to not abandon this story. It’s gonna back to normal from 13 June. So please be patience for the next update. Thank you for your support for this translation project.

Love,

~~88Tang~~

Their kiss is especially hot and intense.

The atmopshere inside the car turns hot.

Ye Qing Xin could hear clearly of the noise of their kiss. The man’s breath turns rough. He uses even more power likes he hates that he cannot stick more closer with her.

She could taste the alcohol on him, smell his scent. It makes her to be trapped even deeper. Her mind is blank.

The traffic light turns green.

Their car is in front so the car behind them starts to press the horn.

Jing Bo Yuan lets her go slowly. She could see that he is controlling his pa.s.sion. He pecks at her lip and strokes her chin. He starts the car.

His left hand is clutching the steering wheel, while his right hand holds Ye Qing Xin’s little hand.

Ye Qing Xin leans on his shoulder.

The car stops at a family cuisine restaurant.

Both of them get off the car.

Inside the private room.

Jing Bo Yuan let Ye Qing Xin to order, Ye Qing Xin looks at the menu and thinks that Jing Bo Yuan just had business meeting, he should drink quite a lot. She orders soup to neutralize the effect of alcohol and two light dishes. It’s clearly that she cares about him.

Jing Bo Yuan glances at her and smiles. He adds the order. He orders several plain dishes and a bowl of honey red bean soup for dessert.

The dishes come quickly.

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t feel hungry, she doesn’t eat a lot. She just eats the dessert while her eyes fix on him.

Jing Bo Yuan eats a lot but he still eats elegantly.

No one can eat till full during the business dinner.

Ye Qing Xin helps to take a bowl of soup then puts it at his front. “Drink bit of this.”

Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and swallows the food inside his mouth. “Why are you suddenly changing your mind?”

Ye Qing Xin is startled: “What?”

Jing Bo Yuan drinks the soup and doesn’t answer. He just watches her.

Under his gaze, Ye Qing Xin just realizes what did he mean.

At the beginning, she was the one that asked for a break up, now the one that throws oneself to somebody is her. Her actions are contradicted. She behaves capriciously.

She purses her lips and says based on the fact: “I’ve seen the guardian agreement.”

Jing Bo Yuan looks at her: “So?”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t answer and says: “That day during Pear gathering at s.h.i.+ Guang Qing Cheng, I saw… saw Lou Liang Chen…..”

Ye Qing Xin continues: “I saw that someone came out fo the room, I heard Yu Qing You’s voice… she seemed to be…….. be mistreated by men…. you know Lou Liang Chen right?”

Her last sentence is not question but a definite sentence.

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t deny.

Ye Qing Xin says again and shows her guess: “You let Lou Liang Chen to go and pursue Yu Qing You. You let him to show the world about false appearance of true love. She had huge amount of betrothal money, huge diamond ring, beautiful wedding dress, luxurious wedding, you seem to give her what most women dream, but in private Lou Liang Chen….. Perhaps even Yu Qing You’s mother or father will not believe her if she tells them….”

“Her own husband treats her like that. But outsiders and her family members think that she is living a happy life. She should be very depressed.”

“Yu family cannot handle her, they let her to act wildly and commit all kinds of outrages, I just find someone that can handle her. As for how, I cannot control it.”

Ye Qing Xin picks up her chopsticks and takes a Chinese Yam dish and puts it in his bowl. She doesn’t want to discuss it again. She smiles: “eat this.”

The time they come out of the restaurant, it’s too cold. Ye Qing Xin cannot hep but to shvier.

In a flash, a coat is draped on her shoulder and wrapped around her body.

Jing Bo Yuan just wears a thin s.h.i.+rt now. Ye Qing Xin wants to take it off, but Jing Bo Yuan just hug her.

“You will be cold.” Ye Qing Xin looks at him.

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything. He just takes her to the parking area and unlocks his car. He opens the door for her.

On the way back.

Ye Qing Xin looks that the car is going toward B university, she cannot describe her feeling.

She thought based on his past “odious” action, he will directly take her back home……

Before she was considering if he really brings her home, should she obey or should she reject.

But it turns out……..

She thinks it too much…..

Ye Qing Xin leans back on her seat. She clutches her seatbelt and looks at the window. She looks like she is unhappy.

Jing Bo Yuan notices the little woman’s bad mood. He says with a hint of happiness: “You are unhappy?”

Ye Qing Xin lowers her head: “No.”

Jing Bo Yuan laughs lowly and holds her hand again.

The car stops at the roadside near B university.

Now it’s already ten o’clock. The area near the university is not as crowded as the city.

It’s all quiet.

Ye Qing Xin is confused: “Why do you stop here?”

Jing Bo Yuan turns of the machine and pinches her waist lightly. He immediately raises her body up and moves her to sit down on his thigh. Because the car is quite s.p.a.cious, Ye Qing Xin’s head doesn’t hit the car roof.

Ye Qing Xin blushes.

She looks at Jing Bo Yuan’s eyes. She doesn’t say anything and let him hug her.

Jing Bo Yuan raises her chin to let her see his eyes.

Ye Qing Xin’s heart is beating so fast. “Bo Yuan…..”

Jing Bo Yuan says: “Tell me, the reason you asked to break up.”

Ye Qing Xin bits her lips.

“Tell me.”

Ye Qing Xin places her hand on his chest.

She says: “Didn’t…… I tell you all?”

“I want the truth, Xin Xin. It’s been a long time and you still don’t believe me. You can tell me everything. We can discuss it and solve it. You shouldn’t bury it all. Without anything you just tell me to break up, Xin Xin, a person has limited patience.”

His last sentence makes her somewhat afraid.

Ye Qing Xin’s eyes turn red but she controls her tears.

How should she tell him, she just doesn’t want to make things hard for him.

It’s a silence for a moment.

She tries to kiss her lips. But Jing Bo Yuan stops her and says: “Don’t interrupt.”

Ye Qing Xin fails.

“Tell me.”

Ye Qing Xin lowers her head and doesn’t say anything.

In the dark, Jing Bo Yuan’s eyes shows his helplessness.

“Xin Xin, I’m fourteen years older than you. I have more experienced than you. For some problems, I can think profoundly than you. I might think what you can, I don’t care about it, why should you care.”

Ye Qing Xin is not believing it. She looks at his eyes: “You know what I care about?”

Jing Bo Yuan looks at her little face and strokes her face: “At first I wasn’t really sure.” Now he is sure.

“Xin Xin, you and kid, I choose you.”

He is certain and decisive.

She knows his opinion about it. After she had miscarriage, she heard Old Madame Jing’s words outside the sickroom that she cannot conceive again. Yet for several times, he mentioned to her to register marriage. Although he didn’t say any romantic remarks that time, but she understands his meaning.

Now hearing his words personally, with his own simple words, serious tone, it gives her great attack.

Her eyes turn wet, she feels something fall down from her eyes.

“What about Nai Nai?” Ye Qing Xin chokes.

Jing Bo Yuan clutches Ye Qing Xin’s little face and strokes it. He wipes her tears and says softly: “She will understand.”

Will she? Ye Qing Xin remembers the affection and kindness that Old woman gave to her. Even though she can understand it but she should be veery sad. She feels like she disappoints the old Madame.

“Don’t think too much. Go home and have a rest. Give it all to me.”

Jing Bo Yuan let her go, but Ye Qing Xin suddenly holds his face and kisses his lips. Her kiss is unskilled but not like before. She takes initiative to extend her tongue and gets inside his mouth. She teases his tongue.

Jing Bo Yuan pushes her lightly: “If we are not going now, I’m afraid that we will not have time to arrive at school before the curfew.”

Ye Qing Xin frowns. She is somewhat unhappy that he is unaffected by her repeated pa.s.sionate action. She lowers her head and looks at him from the corner of her eyes.

She smiles: “If it’s too late then I’ll not go home.”

That sentence comes from a woman is really a kind of seduction for man.

No man will think that those words come from a woman is a way of asking to watch the star and moon.

Jing Bo Yuan hugs her again and kisses her lips hotly. After their round of kiss, he lets her go and drives the car back to Nan Shan mansion.

Ye Qing Xin just plays with Jing Bo Yuan’s right hand and once again remembers their hot kiss. She wants to prank him, she opens her mouth and puts his finger to her mouth. She sucks his finger.

Jing Bo Yuan turns his head to look at her.

She smiles and turns bolder. She extends her hand and opens his trouser b.u.t.ton and belt……..

The car stops beside for a long time and then the car starts to move again.

Ye Qing Xin’s face is blus.h.i.+ng and her heart is so erratically. After her impulsive action, she is somewhat disbelieved that she can do that absurd thing in public area.

Jing Bo Yuan drives the car with steady speed. His gaze is calm and shows his satisfaction.

This is the third time she did it for him. She remembers that every time, he will make a sound, he cannot control it.

That kind of moment is the only moment he can show his real mood.

Thinking about this, Ye Qing Xin smiles. She feels proud of it.

After a while.

The car stops in front of Nan Shan mansion 8.

Both of them goes inside the house.

Ye Qing Xin smiles as her hand is held by him.

When the door is closed and the light is not switched off yet. Her body is pressed on the door. In the dark, his scent surrounds him, Ye Qing Xin’s heart couldn’t help but to beat so quick.

“What were you laughing on the way?” He said gently on her ear but she notices something on it.

“I wasn’t….” Ye Qing Xin refutes lowly.

Then he just kisses her without waiting her to finish her words.

Jing Bo Yuan carries her up and kisses her. He takes her upstairs. Their clothes are scattered all the way from the bedroom to the bathroom.

The water is running and spraying on their body. The sound of running water covers their rapid breathing.

After it’s done, Ye Qing Xin is being carried up out. Her legs are both worn out. She cannot stand still.

She thinks back carefully. Since she was pregnant, they both never did any of intimate moment. They were in fight for two months. Their current intimate moment let both of them satisfied and happy. Moreover, Ye Qing Xin’s initiative also makes it all better.

Jing Bo Yuan wears his sleeping robe and takes a cigarette and lighter. He walks out to the balcony.

Ye Qing Xin frowns and wants to say something. She opens her mouth but didn’t say anything.

She knows that for smoking habit thing needs to start slow.

She lays down on the bed and props her head up to look at him.

She suddenly remembers something, she gets up and opens the drawer.

It’s empty.

A drawer full of c*nd*m, is gone. They didn’t use one before too.

Ye Qing Xin closes her eyes and lays down on the bed again. She starts to fall asleep.

After two cigarettes, she hears the sound from outside. Jing Bo Yuan lays down on the bed. As usual he pulls her to his embrace. Ye Qing Xin flips her body and looks at him, she says: “I’m a bit thirsty.”

Jing Bo Yuan kisses her forehead and says: “Wait for a moment.” Then he stands up and leave the room

Then very quickly, he returns back to the room with a gla.s.s of warm water. Ye Qing Xin sits up and drinks it.

“Thank you Jing Xian Sheng (Mr Jing).” She then pa.s.ses the gla.s.s back to him.

Jing Bo Yuan laughs and strokes her messy hair. He puts the gla.s.s down.

This night, Ye Qing Xin falls asleep soundly in his embrace.

The next day, Ye Qing Xin wakes up at eight o’clock. Jing Bo Yuan isn’t inside the room, he leaves a sticky note for her.

—- Today I will be very busy. Eat on time, if you want to go out, let Driver Lu sends you.

There’s his signature on the right left of the note.

Ye Qing Xin reads at it and smiles.

She gets up and freshens up herself. Last night she didn’t wear her own clothes, she just wore Jing Bo Yuan’s s.h.i.+rt. His large s.h.i.+rt makes her s.e.xy and attractive.

Ye Qing Xin picks all of their clothes on the ground and folds it.

She takes a shower and goes down stairs.

Auntie Zhang looks at him and she seems to be so happy: “Tai Tai, finally you are home.”

“Auntie Zhang, morning.” Ye Qing Xin smiles and greets her.

Auntie Zhang is preparing breakfast on the table and says: “Without you here, Xian Sheng didn’t go home frequently. The time he went home, he always smelt with alcohol. All day he was busy with business dinner and meeting. Few days ago, Xian Sheng fell sick. The doctor said that he was too tired and not eating on time. He also drank a lot. The doctor advised him to be hospitalized for several days but the next day Xian Sheng just wanted to be discharged. Xiao He said that everyday he just worked and took rest late night.”

“Ay, tell me why did Xian Sheng really work that hard? Even though he will earn a lot of money, but how can it be more important than his health? You should persuade him, he cannot continue this.”

Ye Qing Xin stops her action of stuffing toast into her mouth: “He was sick?”

Auntie Zhang looks at Ye Qing Xin and sighs: “Yes, why did Xian Sheng suddenly work so hard, Tai Tai should understand. He wasn’t in a good mood and he just let it off with his work. Don’t you think that Xian Sheng always looks so calm and indifferent with everything, but actually it’s just a false appearance. I can see it clearly. Xian Sheng really cares about Tai Tai.”

Although Auntie Zhang isn’t really care of the reason of their breakup but she knows that both of it is connected.

Ye Qing Xin puts down her toast, she doesn’t have appet.i.te to eat it anymore.

Last night she also noticed that Jing Bo Yuan is skinnier than before. She just thought that he was tired because of the work, she didn’t expect that he was so tired that he was hospitalized.

“Auntie Zhang.” Ye Qing Xin says softly. “Did you know what’s wrong with him?”

Auntie Zhang just answers honestly: “He seems to have stomachache. I don’t really know it in detail, but the doctor instructed that he needs to eat on time, eat more lighter food. He shouldn’t be hungry. Take a lot of rest, drink less alcohol……”

Auntie Zhang recites all the words of the doctor to Ye Qing Xin.

Ye Qing Xin remembers their dinner last night, actually it’s him that needs to eat. That time he ordered a lot of light foods…..

She should notice it, but she didn’t.

She finishes her breakfast. She wants to call him but she is afraid that she will disturb him. She thinks about it and sends him a message.

— Are you busy?

After five minutes, Jing Bo Yuan calls over.

“What is it?”

Ye Qing Xin knows that he is busy, she just asks directly: “Will you have business lunch today?”

Jing Bo Yuan replies: “No.”

Ye Qing Xin: “Will you stay on the office all day today?”

Jing Bo Yuan “Em.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles and says: “Okay, go and mind your business, bye.”

Jing Bo Yuan finds it’s funny that she just hangs up quickly without waiting for his goodbye.

“Your fiancee?” One of Bo Wei’s Chief, a thirty five or xis years old man is sitting down on the sofa and reading a material, asks him. He is also a charming man.

Jing Bo Yuan sits down again on the sofa and faces him. He just smiles.

“It’s hard to come to can see you are being handled by a woman, I heard that she is just twenty years old?” He wants to say that Jing Bo Yuan is a man that has romance with significantly younger woman.

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t answer, he just leans back on the sofa and folds his hand. He takes out his cigarette to smoke and says: “If I’m not wrong, I remember that Sao Zi (Sister-in-law) also just turns twenty three years old this year.” He wants to say that man also has romance with significantly younger woman.

That man laughs brightly and says: “We are both in the same boat.”

They both chat about work, then in the end that man says: “I just went abroad for half year, I didn’t expect that a serious big boss Jing will change a lot. The time I came home I heard about your romantic affair. Let’s find a chance to gather together. I’m really curious, what can of woman can make you change your heart.”

Jing Bo Yuan just turns silent.

Suddenly that man’s phone rings, he takes out his phone and his face turns gentle. He answers: “Song Song.”

He hangs up and then that man just calms his face down. He says to Jing Bo Yuan: “Let’s end our talk today. I’ll let someone to send the detailed plan to you soon.”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles: “Da Sao also control you hardly. I remembered that two years ago, Da Sao pursued you hard but you always made excuses, you rejected her using your status as senior. It’s just few years and you change.”

That man chokes and smiles. “Feeling is hard to control, you also know it now right.”

Both of them laugh, they know each other feeling.

On the other side.

After the call, Ye Qing Xin turns her head and looks at the busy Auntie Zhang. “Auntie Zhang, let’s go to the market.”

There’s a big market near Nan Shan mansion.

On the way to go to the market, Ye Qing Xin goes online and searches for the recipes and ingredients.

Then when they arrive, she just runs to the fruits and vegetables section.

They choose fresh vegetables and she also chooses several ground peanut.

“Auntie Zhang, do we have apple at home?”

Auntie Zhang pushes the cart behind her and replies simply “No, Xian Sheng doesn’t like to eat any fruits so I don’t buy it.”

Ye Qing Xin nods and picks several apples.

During paying, Auntie Zhang wants to pay but Ye Qing Xin stops her and pays with her Wechat pay.

The time they go out of the market, they pa.s.s a department store with a man cloth store. Ye Qing Xin is attracted with the coat that the male model wears.

The model is male wearing a deep gray coat. Ye Qing Xin imagines if it’s Jing Bo Yuan who wears it.

When she is thinking about it, then “prakk”.

“How can you be so careless.” A stranger man speaks up. Ye Qing Xin raises her head to look over. She looks that in front of her there’s a couple. Turns out that both of their carts b.u.mp each other.

Ye Qing Xin apologizes: “I’m sorry.”

That woman looks over and smiles brightly. “It’s okay. I have something on my mind, I don’t look at the road.”

Then that woman says to the man: “That coat will be very good for you!”

Ye Qing Xin: “…….”

Ye Qing Xin and Auntie Zhang return to the Nan Shan mansion. Ye Qing Xin starts to cook. Auntie Zhang wants to help her but Ye Qing Xin smiles and refuses. Auntie Zhang knows that she wants to cook for Jing Bo Yuan so she doesn’t insist. She just watches her.

Ye Qing Xin’s cooking skill is not really extraordinary, her food is just so-so.

She feels quite satisfied with it and places the food inside the thermos. Then asks Driver Lu to take her to the Bo Wei.

The time she arrives it’s just in time for lunch.

When she gets off the car, she tells Driver Lu: “I probably will be here for a while, remember to eat your lunch.”

Driver Lu smiles: “I know, Tai Tai don’t worry.”

She gets in and the receptionist asks her if she needs something.

Ye Qing Xin smiles and shakes her head. She looks around and calls Jing Bo Yuan’s phone.

But when it’s not yet connected, Luo Feng comes over. He calls after her: “Tai Tai, here!”

Ye Qing Xin turns her head. The receptionist is shocked when they heard how Luo Feng called her.

Ye Qing Xin puts away her phone and smiles at the receptionist. Luo Feng opens the gate for her and takes her to the personal elevator that Jing Bo Yuan always uses.

This is the first time she visited Bo Wei.

Before when she was outside, she could see the building is so high, it’s huge. From inside, indeed it’s a rich man’s company.

“a.s.sistant Luo, you seem to know that I’ll come here?” Ye Qing Xin turns her head and looks at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng says honestly: “Chief Jing is holding a meeting right now. There’s twenty minutes before the meeting ends. Before he got into the meeting, he ordered me to go to the lobby to wait, he said that Tai Tai will come over.”

Ye Qing Xin: “oh..” She doesn’t say anything else.

She feels happy and sweet. She just asks two simple questions, but he can know her intention clearly.

Luo Feng takes her to Jing Bo Yuan’s office.

Jing Bo Yuan’s office is really s.p.a.cious and surrounds by gla.s.s window. It’s bright and mostly designed with gray color. There’s also a black sofa.

“Tai Tai, sit down first. Chief Jing will come over soon.” Luo Feng lets her to sit down.

Ye Qing Xin thanks him politely.

When the door is closed, Ye Qing Xin takes out her thermos and places it on the table. She then walks toward the window and looks around.

She looks around the room. She notices there’s a lot of books on his shelves that range from Chinese to another foreign languages.

She looks at his table too. All is well-placed

She takes one of his book and sits down on the sofa to read it. The time she is about to read it, the door is opened from outside. Jing Bo Yuan and several other Bo Wei’s other high-level officials.

Looking at Ye Qing Xin makes all of them looks surprised. Jing Bo Yuan looks calm and just glances at her once. He just keeps on talking with them.

Ye Qing Xin just smiles generously at them and closes the book. She moves herself from the sofa.

All of the high-level officials look at each other.

Jing Bo Yuan just says to them: “Sit down.” Then continues his words.

All of them hesitate and unfocused. They keeps on glance at them each other and Ye Qing Xin. They also notice the thermos on the coffee table.

Jing Bo Yuan notices that his subordinate is not focused. He says deeply: “Are you guys sitting here for your positions for a long time that your strength are not like before?”

His tone is calm and terrifying.

He looks around at them and says: “Let’s end this today. Go back.”

“Yes.” Everyone stands up quickly and gets out of the room. They seems to be afraid that if they are too late, they will be in disadvantage situation.

After everyone is gone, Jing Bo Yuan gets up and walks toward the coffee table. He notices the thermos and looks at Ye Qing Xin: “What is it?”

Ye Qing Xin runs over and opens it. She smiles: “This is lunch for heal your stomach.”

He looks at the foods inside the thermos. There’re several light stir-fried vegetables and a bowl of apple soup.

“You cooked this?”

Ye Qing Xin pulls him to sit down and pa.s.ses him the bowl of apple soup: “Based on internet, apple soup is good for heal your stomach. It’s hot. You can try.”

Jing Bo Yuan takes it and wants to drink it.

“Wait.” Ye Qing Xin suddenly stops him and takes out something from her pocket. She takes out several ground peanut and pa.s.ses it to him.

“According to the internet, before eating, you need to eat several of this first.”

He just watches her and puts down the bowl. He pulls her close and kisses her.

They kiss for several moment and Jing Bo Yuan asks her: “Is internet saying that if a woman be good at a man, it can lead to a man to have inordinate ambition?”

Ye Qing Xin’s face blushes and her lip is red: “I’m talking serious thing to you.”

Jing Bo Yuan says: “I am serious too.”

“…..” Ye Qing Xin looks at him and moves her face to be so close to him. She looks at him. “The dishes will be cool soon. You need to eat it while it’s hot. I cooked it for a long time…..”

Jing Bo Yuan kisses her forehead and let her go: “Today you are so good, it’s too different from last two months.”

Ye Qing Xin remembers that he was hospitalized. She suddenly hugs his neck and buries her face on his shoulder: “I’m sorry. Later on I’ll stay beside you, I’ll not make you angry. Later on maintain your health okay?”

“What did Auntie Zhang say to you?”

Ye Qing Xin says: “Don’t blame her. She told me those for our own good. Bo Yuan, I’m sorry.”

Jing Bo Yuan hugs her and says: “It’s not good to just know your wrong, you should know how to change .”

Ye Qing Xin nods: “Em, I’ll change.”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles and pats her shoulder: “Okay, the dishes will turn cool if you keep on hugging me.”

Ye Qing Xin retreats from his embrace and once again pa.s.ses the ground peanut from her hand to his. “I bought a lot and put it at home. In the future before you eat, you should eat several.”

Ye Qing Xin watches him eat it.

“Is it good?”

Jing Bo Yuan lifts his eyes and asks: “You didn’t eat before at home?”

Ye Qing Xin: “I ate it, but it’s just so-so.”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything else.

Ye Qing Xin is startled and understands his meaning. She pouts: “It’s not really good but you eat it so appetizingly.”

Jing Bo Yuan finishes it all.

Ye Qing Xin is happy to see it.

“I will wash the bowl first.” Ye Qing Xin tidies up and goes to the resting room to wash it.

Before when she came, she noticed there’s a room like the master bedroom in Nan Shan mansion with a two-meter sized bed.

Don’t know why but she suddenly remembers what she read on the internet. A lot of big bosses like to employ beautiful secretary and used them for entertainment, will Jing Bo Yuan do that?

That Secretary Mi Mi seems to be so pretty and capable.

Before she appeared, Jing Bo Yuan is already thirty four years old man, he should have need, she doesn’t know what will he do for that? Did he have a secret lover?

“What are you thinking?”

Ye Qing Xin blinks and washes the dishes. She says lightly: “Nothing.”

Jing Bo Yuan stands behind her and sticks close to her back. She could feel his muscly body. He says: “For was.h.i.+ng a bowl you need fifteen minutes. This kind of efficiency, you will be dismissed.”

Ye Qing Xin turns her body and smiles: “I am not capable as your Bo Wei’s secretaries.”

Jing Bo Yuan notices something in her tone. “What are you imagining?”

Ye Qing Xin struggles from his embrace and picks her thermos: “I’ll go home first.”

Jing Bo Yuan just hugs her again. He looks at her and says shadily: “It’s still early. Let’s not rush it.”
