“We don’t welcome you in our home!” Xi Quan glared coldly at Liang Lu.
Liang Lu didn't care at all; he just kept smiling, a smile that was particularly irritating.
Although Ye Qing knew that Liang Lu was just joking with Xi Quan on purpose, and that there was no need to take the play between five or six-year-old children too seriously, even so, looking at Liang Lu's expression, Ye Qing still felt that he deserved a beating, let alone Xi Quan.
So Xi Quan gave Liang Lu a cold glare, quickened his pace, and Ye Qing smiled at Liang Lu before leaving as well.
But Liang Lu seemed unwilling to give up, chasing after Xi Quan and saying, "Hey, come on, is it really necessary? The two kids are just playing. Besides, Liang Yan didn't do it on purpose; she just accidentally touched your daughter's face..."
The more he talked, the faster Xi Quan walked.
Liang Lu realized that her words had further provoked Xi Quan. Judging from Xi Quan's expression, it seemed as if he was afraid that his nephew would entangle with his daughter. Liang Lu didn't have children and didn't know what Xi Quan was thinking, but she thought Xi Quan was being a bit too dramatic.
Ye Qing also felt that Xi Quan was exaggerating a bit, and smiled helplessly at Liang Lu.
Liang Lu and Xi Quan had a good relationship, so he didn't care about Xi Quan's attitude. He said somewhat irritably, "I was just being cheeky. I had something to say to him, but why did I have to say a few words to him?"
Seeing that Liang Lu was indeed a bit anxious, Ye Qing paused for a moment and said, "If you don't mind telling me, I'll pass on the message for you."
Logically speaking, Ye Qing and Xi Quan are husband and wife, so there's nothing Ye Qing shouldn't know.
However, Liang Lu looked very troubled after hearing Ye Qing's words.
Ye Qing was just being polite when she spoke to Liang Lu. As for whether Ye Qing really wanted to know what Liang Lu and Xi Quan were talking about, that was not the case. Ye Qing had worked with Liang Lu before and knew a little about Liang Lu's personality. She had even taken advantage of Liang Lu's gossip a little before. So Ye Qing assumed that Liang Lu and Xi Quan were just talking about eating, drinking and having fun.
However, seeing Liang Lu's troubled expression, Ye Qing realized that perhaps there was something else going on, and something he couldn't tell her? This instantly piqued Ye Qing's curiosity, "You can't tell me?"
Although Ye Qing's words sounded devoid of emotion, Liang Lu keenly realized that his attitude might have inadvertently sown discord between Xi Quan and Ye Qing.
After all, no woman would be so forgiving if her husband kept something from her.
Moreover, Liang Lu knew exactly what Xi Quan had been going through these past few years, so he knew even better what kind of position Ye Qing held in Xi Quan's heart. Therefore, if Ye Qing, who had finally reconciled with Xi Quan, were to cause trouble for Xi Quan again because of him, Liang Lu felt that he and Xi Quan might really be over.
So Liang Lu quickly explained to Ye Qing, "It's not that I can't tell you, it's just some messy stuff. Xi Quan said before that he can handle those messy things so you don't have to worry about them. Besides, what I know about this is just something I heard from others. You know me, so it's more convenient to talk to Xi Quan. We're both men, so..."
Ye Qing saw that Liang Lu was indeed in a difficult position. Although she was still very curious, she didn't press him for details. After all, she wasn't that familiar with Liang Lu yet, and it was better to keep things in check. Even jokes should be kept within limits. So Ye Qing said understandingly, "I was being presumptuous. I shouldn't have asked."
After saying that, he smiled and turned to chase after Xi Quan.
Ye Qing's words were completely devoid of emotion; they were simply a straightforward statement.
However, it's unclear whether Ye Qing's manipulation of Liang Lu to scheme against Xu Ying back then left a psychological scar on Liang Lu. At the time, Ye Qing seemed to be chatting with him without any emotion, but in the end... he was tricked by Ye Qing.
So Liang Lu felt very uneasy looking at Ye Qing like this, always feeling that Ye Qing might be implying something. So he stared at Ye Qing's back for a while, then couldn't help but take two quick steps and say to Ye Qing, "Actually, it's nothing. It's okay to tell you. Anyway, you know what kind of person I am."
Ye Qing thought to himself, "I don't know what kind of person you are, but judging from Liang Lu's expression, he has clearly misunderstood me. Since that's the case, if he wants to say something, then Ye Qing will listen."
"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that Ye Shuang has been quite restless lately. Maybe he's thinking of causing trouble for you or something."
Ye Qing was quite surprised to hear Liang Lu say that.
It wasn't that Ye Shuang was targeting him again; rather, Ye Qing's surprise and astonishment were more directed at himself, or rather, he regretted his oversight.
How could I forget Ye Shuang? When I first came back, I ran into Ye Shuang at Xu Xiaoyue's agency. Later, at the premiere of Xu Xiaoyue's movie, I also met Ye Shuang. No matter the occasion, it was clear that Ye Shuang still harbored resentment towards me.
Although Ye Qing felt that Ye Shuang's resentment was unreasonable, since Ye Shuang had this mindset, he had to be careful.
Perhaps it's because he's been busy lately that Ye Qing almost forgot about Ye Shuang.
Upon hearing Liang Lu mention it, Ye Qing quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, I will be careful."
"Logically speaking, Xi Quan meant he wouldn't tell you about this, but..."
Seeing Liang Lu's troubled expression, Ye Qing wondered if Xi Quan was some kind of demon, or if he was really that scary. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know how to talk to Xi Quan."
Before she could finish speaking and Liang Lu could exchange more pleasantries with Ye Qing, Xi Quan told the two children to wait in the car, then returned to find Ye Qing. After walking over, he first pulled Ye Qing behind him, then gave Liang Lu another cold look and said, "Let's go."
Those who knew the situation understood that Xi Quan was saying goodbye to Liang Lu, indicating that they were leaving. Those who didn't might have thought that Xi Quan and Liang Lu had some deep-seated grudge.
Liang Lu understood Xi Quan and knew that Xi Quan had misunderstood. He felt that he had been talking to Ye Qing for too long.
Embarrassed, Liang Lu touched his nose, feeling utterly wronged. He wanted to explain, but Xi Quan had already turned and left. Liang Lu realized he had really made a bad choice in his friends.
Ye Qing felt a little embarrassed, but just as she was about to turn around and apologize to Liang Lu, Xi Quan saw her and instinctively blocked her view.
Ye Qing felt a little helpless, but she liked Xi Quan's petty nature, because it showed that he cared about her.
After the two got into the car, Ye Yiran and Ye Yixin were still arguing. Ye Yixin felt that Ye Yiran's big mouth had caused her to be forbidden by Xi Quan from playing with Liang Yan anymore.
Ye Yiran, however, felt that she had done nothing wrong.
Ye Qing was used to the two children arguing and even fighting, so she didn't try to stop them. At the same time, she thought Xi Quan would stop them because Ye Yixin's words showed her affection for little Liang Yan, which was like stabbing him, her father, in the heart.
To Ye Qing's surprise, Xi Quan didn't say a word, letting the two children chatter away until they got back to their own home, at which point Xi Quan, who had been silent the whole time, finally spoke.
