Seeing that Ye Qing had noticed him, Xi Quan no longer hesitated and entered just a second before Ye Qing closed the door.
"Why are you here?" Ye Qing asked.
Xi Quan leaned against the display case in the center of the store, raised an eyebrow at Ye Qing, and said in a nonchalant tone, "Isn't this my wife's store? Can't I come here?"
The word "wife" made Ye Qing's cheeks flush bright red, but fortunately, because the shop was closing, all the main lights inside were turned off, leaving only dim yellow lights, making it difficult for others to see the embarrassment on her face.
After a moment of silence, when Ye Qing looked up at Xi Quan, she noticed that he had taken out a bottle of wine from somewhere. She was quite surprised. Before she could ask, she saw Xi Quan raise the bottle and say, "Today is our wedding day, let's celebrate."
Ye Qing didn't drink often, but she had gotten drunk before, and Xi Quan had even dragged her back to his house, so Ye Qing remembered it vividly. As a result, she remembered the aftereffects of drinking too much even more clearly: "No way, I'm taking a plane tomorrow. Although I've never been on a plane before and don't know what it's like, it's not good to be on a plane with a headache after such a long flight and jet lag."
After saying that, Ye Qing saw Xi Quan's expression darken instantly, so she quickly explained, "If I drink too much, I'll have a headache the next day. I need to take it easy."
After Ye Qing's explanation, Xi Quan's expression did improve a bit. He said, "It's just a little celebration with drinks. How could I possibly drink too much?"
As he spoke, he found two cups in Ye Qing's shop.
Seeing that Xi Quan seemed determined to drink, Ye Qing didn't want to spoil the mood, after all, they were now legally married, but...
After a long silence, and seeing that Xi Quan was about to pour out the wine, Ye Qing couldn't help but murmur, "Because I'm reluctant to part with it, I'm afraid I won't be able to control my emotions, and if I don't, I'll drink too much..."
Because of Ye Qing's words, Xi Quan suddenly stopped pouring wine. He stared at Ye Qing's sad expression for a long time before asking her, "If you can't bear to leave, can you stay?"
Xi Quan knew he shouldn't restrict Ye Qing's path; she needed a bigger stage to showcase herself. But the thought of the vast distance between them in the future made him reluctant to let go. He had already bound Ye Qing to marriage; if he didn't let her go, it would seem selfish.
Frustrated, Xi Quan picked up the glass of wine he had just poured and drank it all in one gulp. When he put down the glass and saw Ye Qing's hesitant expression, Xi Quan felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Actually, Xi Quan and Ye Qing had the same idea at first, and neither of them thought about developing feelings for each other.
Although his marriage to Xu Ying seemed more like a farce to spite Quan Zhen, in the end, Xi Quan became the one who garnered everyone's sympathy.
For men, this is never a good thing.
Who knew that his interactions with Ye Qing would gradually increase? He didn't know when it started, but his gaze couldn't leave Ye Qing. Perhaps it was when Ye Qing pitifully begged him for help in Xiaoyao Village:
Perhaps it was when he saw Ye Qing again in Nancheng:
Perhaps it was when Ye Qing was shooting a calendar, when she looked so dazzling under the lens:
Perhaps it was because he felt uncomfortable seeing her getting close to other men...
In short, Ye Qing has now become an indelible part of Xi Quan's heart.
But she was leaving.
He couldn't think any further. Without thinking, Xi Quan hugged Ye Qing and then cupped her face in his hands, kissing her deeply!
Ye Qing was initially taken aback by Xi Quan's sudden action and instinctively tried to push him away. However, she suddenly remembered that they were now husband and wife, so she withdrew her hand.
Thinking about leaving tomorrow, Ye Qing hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised her arm and placed it on Xi Quan's shoulder...
The next day, when Xi Quan woke up, he subconsciously reached out to touch the other side of the bed, only to find that the blanket was no longer warm and was ice cold!
Xi Quan, who still had his eyes closed, slowly opened them, turned his head and looked at the mess in the small room. The scenes from last night flashed through Xi Quan's mind bit by bit. Finally, he slowly raised his arm and put it on his forehead, muttering resentfully, "He's so heartless!"
Although he harbored many resentments, Xi Quan thought that after this incident, he was no longer worried that Ye Qing would never speak to him again, since they were now a legally married couple.
Xi Quan got up, tidied up the small room, and was about to leave when he noticed stains on the bed sheet. He picked up the sheet, found a bag in Ye Qing's shop, packed it in, and took it with him.
Afterwards, Xi Quan calculated the approximate arrival time of Ye Qing and waited for Ye Qing to call him to let him know she was safe.
However, Xi Quan never received a call from Ye Qing to let him know that she was safe.
The Millennium.
Ye Qing casually tied her hair up and secured it with a pen. With a sewing kit on her wrist, she moved among the models.
At 1.65 meters tall, Ye Qing isn't short, but among a group of models, she's considered short, and among a group of European and American models, she appears even more petite.
After checking everything and finding no problems with the clothes, Ye Qing clapped his hands and encouraged everyone in a foreign language.
As the music outside gradually began to play, the models appeared on the catwalk in their best condition, while Ye Qing watched from backstage.
Although this wasn't Ye Qing's first fashion show, she was still very nervous and apprehensive.
Finally, after showcasing the last outfit, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief and walked onto the stage surrounded by models to meet everyone.
The group of Westerners, facing Ye Qing, who was clearly an Easterner, applauded repeatedly to express their appreciation for Ye Qing and to congratulate her on the successful fashion show.
Hearing the thunderous applause from everyone, Ye Qing was overjoyed.
Finally, it was all over. Ye Qing dragged her tired body home and kicked off her shoes as soon as she entered the door.
The sound of high heels hitting the floor was particularly jarring in the quiet room. Ye Qing was startled by the sharp sound of the high heels. She tightened her neck and was about to bend down to put the shoes away when the phone rang again. Ye Qing didn't even bother to put her shoes back on and quickly ran over to answer the phone.
"Why do you sound so breathless? Ye Qing, tell me honestly, what are you doing? It's a long, dark night where you are, isn't it?" The call was from Xu Xiaoyue in China.
Xu Xiaoyue's words left Ye Qing feeling quite helpless. She said, "You said it yourself, it's nighttime here, who would call me in the middle of the night? So I guessed it might be you calling me, so I didn't dare to delay."
Xu Xiaoyue joked to ease the tension and didn't continue. Instead, she was a little nervous and didn't know how to tell Ye Qing the purpose of her call.
"What's wrong?" Ye Qing couldn't see Xu Xiaoyue's expression because of the phone call, especially since it was an international call. But because they had known each other for a long time, Ye Qing knew her well. Xu Xiaoyue rarely spoke so silently when they talked on the phone. After not hearing Xu Xiaoyue's voice for a long time, she sensed that something was wrong: "Say something."
