"Well, there's something I don't know how to tell you."
It was rare to hear Xu Xiaoyue sound so troubled. Remembering the people Xu Xiaoyue had taken with her when she left after visiting her a while ago, Ye Qing tensed up instantly. She sat up straight from being slumped on the sofa: "What's wrong? Is something wrong with Ranran and Xinxin?"
Xu Xiaoyue, who was initially unsure of what to say, heard Ye Qing's nervousness and was worried that Ye Qing might be anxious while abroad. She quickly explained to Ye Qing, "It's about the two of them, but they're fine, they're doing well."
Hearing Xu Xiaoyue say that Ranran and Xinxin were alright, Ye Qing felt relieved again. However, just as she was about to slump back onto the sofa, Ye Qing sat up straight again: "Is it Xi Quan?"
Mentioning this name that he had always avoided, Ye Qing's calm heart seemed to be stirred again.
"It wasn't him either."
It wasn't Xi Quan, nor Ranran or Xinxin. Ye Qing really couldn't guess what Xu Xiaoyue could be so reluctant to talk about. She said, "Xiaoyue, we've known each other for so long. You've always been the one looking after Qingye's store in China. What's there that you can't tell me? Or have you realized that you've fallen for Liu Yuliang and are planning to be with him?"
After making a joke, Ye Qing slumped back onto the sofa and chatted casually with Xu Xiaoyue.
Over the years, Xu Xiaoyue has come to realize that the person Liu Yuliang actually likes is her, not Ye Qing. However, despite all these years, Xu Xiaoyue has never fallen for Liu Yuliang.
Over the years, Xiaoyue has had several boyfriends, but Liu Yuliang has remained single. Watching Xu Xiaoyue go through cycles of dating and breaking up, many things have changed, but Liu Yuliang by Xu Xiaoyue's side has remained the same.
"What? It has nothing to do with him. It's Liang Youjie." Afraid of being teased by Ye Qing again, Xu Xiaoyue told Ye Qing directly, "Didn't I help you bring Ranran and Xinxin back to China a couple of days ago? When Liang Youjie found out, he said he wanted to meet his godson and godson."
I happened to have work, so I left the two kids with Liang Youjie. You know Liang Youjie has become very popular in China these past few years, and reporters have been following him around. That day, he was photographed taking the two kids out to eat. Although the kids called him "Dad" in French, people overheard it and assumed Liang Youjie was their father, and the news reports were full of nonsense..."
Hearing that it was related to children, Ye Qing instinctively tensed up and subconsciously tried to sit up straight. But after hearing Xu Xiaoyue finish speaking, Ye Qing felt that it was no big deal: "It's not a big deal. Liang Youjie is a benefactor to me and the children. The children have always called him that. People will know if they find out. So what? I was worried that Liang Youjie would mind."
Hearing Ye Qing's words, Xu Xiaoyue recalled what she had just said to Ye Qing, realizing she hadn't mentioned the most important point, so she quickly emphasized the key points: "Xi Yue's illness is almost cured, right? Her probation period has ended, and she's back to work. Xi Quan got her a job with some fashion magazine, so she's back in touch with the entertainment industry. The other day, Xi Yue met the two children, and while exchanging pleasantries with Liang Youjie, she asked a few more questions. According to Liang Youjie, the two children said their mother's name is Ye Qing..."
After Xu Xiaoyue finally finished explaining the matter, Ye Qing belatedly realized what Xu Xiaoyue wanted to express.
"You mean you're afraid that if Xi Yue tells Xi Quan, Xi Quan will know I have a child?" Ye Qing's voice suddenly turned much colder.
Even over an international long-distance call, Xu Xiaoyue could hear the coldness in Ye Qing's words. It's not something outsiders can say about matters of the heart. In the past, since Ye Qing and the children were all abroad, she didn't talk about it.
Now that Ye Qing is planning to return to China, Xi Quan is someone she has to face. It's good to be mentally prepared in advance, so Xu Xiaoyue expressed her concerns: "Liang Youjie likes you, both of us can see that. I didn't know about this before."
I only found out about it from the news, so I asked Liang Youjie, and he told me what happened. And from the way he sounded, it seemed like he was deliberately trying to make Xi Quan misunderstand. What are you thinking?
Liang Youjie used to have a girlfriend, and his relationship with Ye Qing was just that of casual friends and fellow townsmen. Later, he met Ye Qing abroad, which happened to be during Ye Qing's most difficult time. He helped Ye Qing a lot, and after that, he had more contact with Ye Qing.
Before long, Liang Youjie fell in love with Ye Qing. Ye Qing knew this, but she didn't like him and couldn't give him any response. Since Liang Youjie never confessed his feelings, Ye Qing pretended not to know.
Xu Xiaoyue's words made Ye Qing realize that some things seemed to be unavoidable.
After a long silence, Ye Qing said, "I haven't thought about it much. My fashion show is over, the post-production work is done, and I've gone back. Once I get back, many things should be resolved."
Hearing Ye Qing say that, Xiao Yue didn't say anything more. Although Ye Qing and Xiao Yue were both quite wealthy now and didn't care about a few more dollars, it was still a bit extravagant to make an international call. They had said what they needed to say and hung up.
Although Ye Qing didn't say much to Xu Xiaoyue on the phone, her heart was in turmoil. There were many things Ye Qing didn't want to think about, but now she had no choice but to face them.
Although he had already made the decision, now that he really had to find out, Ye Qing couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.
Recently, in preparation for her last press conference before leaving this place, Ye Qing has been doing almost everything herself, striving for perfection. She is exhausted every day, sleeping only four or five hours, sometimes just three or four hours. Now that everything is over, Ye Qing can fall asleep as soon as she closes her eyes.
But now, a phone call from Xu Xiaoyue has stirred up her calm heart once again.
Although things went wrong, Ye Qing was the kind of person who acted on his decisions and rarely hesitated. The few times he did hesitate, it was all related to Xi Quan.
From Ye Qing's perspective, these few instances of dragging things out have already taught him a lesson.
Therefore, mistakes must be corrected.
Having settled things abroad, Ye Qing bought her plane ticket back to China. She only told Xu Xiaoyue the specific time of her return, without even telling Liang Youjie.
Xu Xiaoyue kept asking Ye Qing when she would return to China, and she was really looking forward to it. She thought that when Ye Qing came back, Xu Xiaoyue would be just as happy as she was.
But when Ye Qing saw Xu Xiaoyue, who was waiting to pick him up at the airport, looking like a wilted eggplant, he asked, "What's wrong with you? Don't you want me to come back?"
As soon as Ye Qing finished speaking, Xu Xiaoyue hugged Ye Qing and said in a tearful voice, "Ye Qing, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
