They have a child together, but they actually do very few intimate things together.
Although Xi Quan had no romantic thoughts before kissing Ye Qing, he still…
Sensing Xi Quan's change, Ye Qing pushed away Xi Quan, who was hugging her tighter, and jumped away instantly. She awkwardly smoothed her hair and then stiffly changed the subject: "Xu Ying seems to be involved with Liang Youjie now. I went to see Xu Ying today and found someone taking pictures, but I exposed the film."
Although Xi Quan was disappointed, this was not a good time to act, given the circumstances.
So he was quite helpless about Ye Qing's desperate attempt to get as far away from him as possible, but he didn't say anything. He stood there, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and replied perfunctorily to Ye Qing, "Really? You're really capable!"
Ye Qing was speechless, and even wanted to punch him. What kind of attitude was this? He clearly looked down on her.
Although Ye Qing knew that Xi Quan no longer cared about Xu Ying, she couldn't help but mutter, "What do you really think about Xu Ying now? I saw her today, and she was dressed much better than before. She's also very beautiful and attracts attention wherever she goes."
Xi Quan originally didn't want to answer Ye Qing's question, but the current situation was that he was still feeling extremely uncomfortable and needed to adjust himself to gradually ease the pain. However, Ye Qing still thought that he was thinking about others.
Xi Quan glanced at Ye Qing and said, "All my cells recognize people. I will clearly reject anyone else's words except for you!"
Hearing Xi Quan's firm stance, Ye Qing couldn't help but grin: "You make it sound like it's true."
Seeing Ye Qing's coquettish expression, Xi Quan looked away.
Ye Qing also noticed that the two were getting more and more off-topic, so she quickly brought the conversation back on track and asked, "Liang Youjie, what do you want to do?"
"We have a plan, but we need to find the right opportunity," Xi Quan said casually.
Because he died and came back to life, Xi Quan gained some ability to know the future. He knows roughly what will happen in the future, but he doesn't know the details of how each event will happen.
He already had a plan on how to deal with Liang Youjie, but there were still some details that needed to be taken care of. Before everything was foolproof, Xi Quan would not blindly start doing anything.
Because things weren't foolproof yet, and some crucial things hadn't been done properly, Xi Quan didn't go into detail with Ye Qing.
In the past, Ye Qing might have thought that Xi Quan was deliberately hiding things from her and didn't want to tell her anything. But now that Ye Qing knows so much, she has calmed down. The fact that Xi Quan went through such a big ordeal shows how ruthless Liang Youjie is.
So Ye Qing knew that Xi Quan was being cautious now, so she didn't ask any further questions and instead asked something else: "When you were injured in the car accident, where were you injured? Your grandparents said it was so serious that you needed surgery. Was it your leg? How is your leg now?"
After hesitating for a moment, Ye Qing walked up to Xi Quan, intending to roll up his trouser leg to see where his leg was injured. However, Xi Quan grabbed Ye Qing's hand and stopped her from doing so. "It's getting late. You probably haven't eaten yet. Go eat first."
It was an obvious attempt to avoid the issue, but Ye Qing couldn't insist. She sighed softly, stood up, grabbed her bag, and walked out with Xi Quan.
Liu Yuliang and Xu Xiaoyue were still at Qingye Studio when they saw Ye Qing come out. Both of them wanted to ask about Liang Youjie's situation.
However, before they could even ask, Xi Quan stopped them, and also stopped Ye Qing from speaking: "You can figure out how to deal with it when you go to work tomorrow. It's already after get off work hours."
It was obvious that he didn't want to say more; anyone could tell.
However, it was known before that Ye Qing and Xi Quan had some misunderstandings and their relationship was not harmonious. Yet now Ye Qing was being held by Xi Quan's hand, and she did not resist.
Xu Xiaoyue thought this was definitely progress, so she tugged at Liu Yuliang, signaling him not to ask.
Although Liu Yuliang didn't intend to ask after hearing Xi Quan's words, seeing Xu Xiaoyue's attitude, which seemed to subconsciously start to "control" him, made Liu Yuliang feel that this was a good start.
So he pretended that he was being "managed" by Xu Xiaoyue.
Seeing Xi Quan park the car in front of a courtyard, Ye Qing was quite surprised: "Weren't we supposed to be eating? Where is this?"
“It’s a private restaurant, and the food is a bit better than the one you ate at with Liang Youjie,” Xi Quan said.
Ye Qing glanced at the antique courtyard with surprise, thinking to himself that it was truly remarkable that there were still places like this in the southern city. However, after the initial amazement, Ye Qing felt a little amused.
Xi Quan really showed his petty nature to the fullest extent.
However, Ye Qing was not angry at all; in fact, she was secretly pleased because it showed that Xi Quan cared about her.
Xi Quan seemed to have a good relationship with the boss, who greeted him warmly upon seeing him.
After exchanging pleasantries, the two entered the private room. Ye Qing looked at the dim lighting in the room, which had a hazy, ancient feel, like the flickering red candlelight. The atmosphere looked quite nice.
After admiring the view, Ye Qing suddenly thought of a question and asked Xi Quan, "Are your eyes okay?"
"Huh?" Xi Quan didn't understand what Ye Qing meant by asking that question for a moment.
Ye Qing pointed to Xi Quan's eyes and said, "I heard your eyes were also badly injured back then. It's so dark here, you..."
"No matter when, I can only see you. As long as I can see you clearly, nothing else matters to me," Xi Quan said.
At that time, there was no such thing as "corny pickup lines," but Xi Quan's words could be considered corny pickup lines. Ye Qing's face suddenly became very hot.
Coupled with the atmosphere before her, Ye Qing truly felt as if she had returned to ancient times and had just met her husband.
So Ye Qing changed the subject again. She picked up the teacup that the restaurant had specially provided, took a sip of water, and asked awkwardly, "Are you and Liang Youjie related? When did you find out about this?"
Although Xi Quan knew that Ye Qing probably already knew, he was still taken aback when Ye Qing asked him this question, as he was completely unprepared for it.
Then, feigning nonchalance, he asked, "What did Liang Youjie tell you about my relationship with him?"
Ye Qing: "He didn't say much, just that you two are cousins, maternal cousins. He said you already knew, didn't you know when I was photographed with Liang Youjie at the gate of Nancheng University? So you changed your story on that show you specifically participated in later?"
Xi Quan bit his lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and said, "At that time, I only knew a little bit of my mother's secret. I only found out about my relationship with Liang Youjie later, after my car accident."
