Hearing the noise, Ye Qing paused for a moment, then quickly turned around. When she looked over, Xi Quan was holding onto the railing next to the stairs with one hand and pressing his thigh near his knee with the other. For some reason, Ye Qing's heart suddenly clenched. After putting her suitcase down, she quickly turned around and asked, "Are you alright?"
The moment he heard Ye Qing's footsteps, Xi Quan quickly composed himself and said to Ye Qing expressionlessly, "Sorry to make you laugh, I accidentally missed a step."
Although it seems unbelievable that someone this old could miss a step while going downstairs, Ye Qing knew it was impossible; she had experienced the same thing when wearing high heels.
So Xi Quan's excuse sounded good, but for some reason Ye Qing felt very uneasy. She wanted to say something, but thinking about her distant attitude towards Xi Quan just now, it seemed wrong to show too much concern. So Ye Qing swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and glanced at Xi Quan. He seemed to be fine, but suddenly Ye Qing's gaze fixed on Xi Quan's forehead.
She subconsciously raised her hand to wipe away the large beads of sweat on Xi Quan's forehead, but halfway up, realizing the current relationship between her and Xi Quan, Ye Qing lowered her hand, clenched it, and said, "Are you... hot?"
Because of Ye Qing's words, Xi Quan's expression flickered, and he tried his best to keep his emotions and tone from fluctuating: "I almost missed a step. Anyone would be startled and break out in a cold sweat. That's normal."
If there's really no reason to refute it.
Ye Qing glanced awkwardly at Xi Quan, then had nothing more to say and turned to go upstairs.
"The first room on the left upstairs is the master bedroom," Xi Quan said, hearing Ye Qing turn around.
When Ye Qing took the children to bed earlier, she didn't know which room the two children would sleep in, so she casually pushed open the door to the room Xi Quan mentioned. She glanced at it and saw that someone had lived there before. Now that Xi Quan said that, it's obvious that Xi Quan lived in that room.
Given their current awkward relationship, Ye Qing definitely wouldn't stay in the master bedroom. She said, "I'll live with the child; the three of us are used to it."
Since Ye Qing had already said that, Xi Quan couldn't say anything more and nodded to indicate that he understood.
Turning his head to see Ye Qing go upstairs and disappear from sight, Xi Quan bent down and pressed his legs again before slowly walking towards the sofa, sitting down, and frowning as he pressed his legs.
Ye Qing quickly washed up and turned on the desk lamp to look at the design drafts she had recently drawn. Because of the time difference, Ye Qing was not sleepy at all.
Although Ye Qing had planned to return long ago, he had carefully considered and made this decision after much deliberation.
Xu Xiaoyue is currently filming television dramas and movies. She previously filmed a movie and attended an international film festival. After the film festival, she went to visit Ye Qing. Afterwards, Xu Xiaoyue returned with her two children.
Xu Xiaoyue's film participated in an international film festival. Although it didn't win any awards, it served as free publicity, and it's about to be released in Nancheng.
In recent years, Nancheng has developed rapidly, and the film market has gradually improved, and it has gradually come into line with international standards. There are still events like celebrities walking the red carpet.
With a red carpet event, formal attire is a must. Although the movie Xu Xiaoyue starred in didn't win any awards at the film festival, it still provided free publicity, and the buzz in Nancheng has already picked up. Not only will the movie's main cast walk the red carpet, but many celebrities have also been invited to the premiere.
This includes Leung Yau-kit.
Ye Qing designed dresses for Xu Xiaoyue and Liang Youjie, and then made the Qingye trademark shine again in Nancheng, which was also an advertisement for Ye Qing to set up camp in Nancheng in the future.
So Ye Qing chose to come back at this time, intending to let Xiao Yue make a name for herself by wearing the clothes she designed, and also to increase her fame in Nancheng.
Liang Youjie's suit was actually fine; men usually wear suits for these kinds of occasions. Ye Qing was now focusing on the details of Xiaoyue's suit, hoping that her design would make Xiaoyue shine.
As dawn approached, Ye Qing finally felt a little sleepy, but having just returned, she had a mountain of work to do and really didn't have time to sleep; that would be too much of a luxury.
Since Xi Quan still had the things he bought the day before, Ye Qing made breakfast for the two children after getting up, and after thinking about it, she also prepared a portion for Xi Quan, since they were currently staying with Xi Quan.
So when Xi Quan went downstairs and saw that he still had breakfast, he was surprised and his mood improved a lot.
In a better mood, Xi Quan once again tried to improve his relationship with Ye Qing. He looked at Ye Qing and asked, "Are you going out today?"
Ye Qing was already dressed, and when she heard Xi Quan ask her question, she didn't hide anything, "I have to work."
After glancing at the two children who were yawning and eating, Ye Qing said, "I already asked Xiaoyue to help me find a school for the children, but it's not settled yet, so it might still be necessary..."
Before Ye Qing could even finish speaking, Xi Quan knew what Ye Qing wanted to say. He said, "Just leave the kids here. Su Zhe will come over and play with them or take them out to play later. As for the schools they'll attend, don't worry. I've found a few. When you have time, go take a look and see whichever one is suitable for them."
The two children will be of primary school age in a year at most. Ye Qing felt that since it was kindergarten and the time they would be there for a short period of time, the most important thing was that it was close to home. So she said to Xi Quan, "The main thing is that it is close to home, so it will be convenient to pick up and drop off the children. After I'm done with these busy days and have decided where we'll live, we'll choose a specific school."
Hearing Ye Qing's words, Xi Quan knew that Ye Qing still didn't consider this place her home. Although he was unhappy, he also knew that some things couldn't be forced and had to be taken slowly. So he remained silent for a long time before asking, "The children were born abroad. You haven't registered their household registration in Nancheng yet, have you?"
Ye Qing, who had finished eating and was about to leave, was stunned again when she heard Xi Quan say this. She had really overlooked this matter. She nodded and said, "Not yet. I'll take care of it in the next few days."
Xi Quan then said, "When we got married, I remember seeing that your household registration was still in Xiaoyao Village. So are you planning to register your child's household registration in Xiaoyao Village as well?"
Ye Qing hadn't really considered this issue carefully before.
Now that Xi Quan has asked her this, Ye Qing has seriously thought about it. Actually, there's no need to think about it seriously; it's best to have the child's household registration follow Xi Quan.
Moreover, Ye Qing and Xi Quan are now husband and wife, so their child's household registration can be directly transferred to Xi Quan's household registration without any difficulty.
However, the difficulty lies in Ye Qing's relationship with Xi Quan. She feels that she will eventually end her marriage with Xi Quan, which is only in name, so it would be best for the child to stay with her, thus saving them from various troubles that might arise after they separate.
However, Ye Qing also knew that it would be too selfish of her to insist that the child's household registration follow hers. It didn't matter for the adults, but the child needed a household registration for schooling and other purposes.
Xi Quan noticed Ye Qing's hesitation but didn't urge him. In fact, he was in a good mood and said, "Think it over carefully."
