Xi Yue wanted to reply, "Of course I keep my word."
However, just as Xi Yue was about to speak, she discovered that Xi Quan had already pulled Ye Qing out the door. They were walking really fast, as if there were some kind of monster in the house.
Xi Yue scoffed and swallowed her words back.
"Xi Yue..." Grandpa called out to Xi Yue, as if worried that Ye Qing's words might have upset her.
However, Xi Yue seemed not to hear her grandparents' words and turned to go upstairs. Originally, she was going to go out with Xi Quan after getting ready, but now it seemed that she didn't need to.
After taking a couple of steps, whether it was because she sensed her grandparents' expectant gazes behind her or for something else, Xi Yue stopped and remained silent for a while before turning to her grandparents and saying, "What Ye Qing said isn't unreasonable. I'm thirty this year, not three or thirteen. You don't have to always treat me like a child."
"We don't treat you like a child. If we did, we wouldn't be in such a hurry for you to get married," Grandma muttered behind Xi Yue.
Xi Yue paused for a moment, a little angry, and instinctively wanted to turn around and retort, but she finally held back and didn't turn around.
She went upstairs to her room and stood by the window, lost in thought, when she happened to see Xi Quan pushing Ye Qing into the car.
Xi Yue previously said that Ye Shuang was jealous of Ye Qing, but in fact, Xi Yue was also jealous and envious. Why couldn't she live as freely as Ye Qing?
Ye Qing didn't know what Xi Yue was thinking, and to be honest, she didn't care that much. Her wrist was being gripped tightly by Xi Quan, and it was starting to hurt a little.
"What are you doing?" Ye Qing rubbed her wrist and looked at Xi Quan reproachfully.
Xi Quan was already somewhat moved, and Ye Qing's reproachful look made him even more restless. He leaned forward, pulled Ye Qing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and kissed her without saying a word.
After the kiss ended, Ye Qing looked at Xi Quan with watery eyes, still very puzzled and still scolding him.
Xi Quan looked away from Ye Qing, swallowed hard, and said, "Don't look at me like that."
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Qing asked, regaining his composure.
Hearing Ye Qing ask this, Xi Quan turned to look at Ye Qing again, stared at her for a long time, and then said quietly, "From childhood to adulthood, almost no one has ever thought that I should be cared for."
Ye Qing turned her head in surprise, looking at Xi Quan with a hint of disbelief. She seemed to understand what he meant, but also seemed not to.
Xi Quan didn't seem to wait for Ye Qing to say anything. He laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Is it strange? Many people think it's okay for men to live a rougher life. I don't think there's anything wrong with that either."
When I was little, I lived with my dad in Xiaoyao Village. In his pursuit of leading the villagers to prosperity, he seemed to have forgotten that I was still a child and needed care.
My mom went back to the city early on. I can't say she was bad to me, but she could never show enough care. Later, as I grew older, I realized why men were being so dramatic. What difference did it make how we lived?
Later, we gradually became familiar with each other. Although at that time I didn't know that the current Quan Zhen wasn't actually my biological mother, I still had some longing for her. But she... you helped me fight for something in front of her... Later, when I found out I wasn't her child, and I was lying blind and lame in the hospital bed, I..."
Before Xi Quan could finish speaking, Ye Qing understood what he meant.
Xi Quan acted this way because he had just told his grandparents that they were biased and that Xi Quan also needed care.
When Ye Qing said those things, she was just expressing her feelings and never thought about how Xi Quan had gotten through all these years.
Hearing Xi Quan say this, Ye Qing realized it was all because of his accidental success...
Ye Qing couldn't help but hug Xi Quan, trying to explain to him, "Actually, I..."
Xi Quan didn't give Ye Qing a chance to speak, because from Ye Qing's surprised expression, Xi Quan could tell that Ye Qing hadn't expected her words to excite her so much. He said, "I know you stumbled upon this by accident, but that's only because you really realized it."
"Xi Quan, I..." Ye Qing still wanted to say something, but Xi Quan didn't give her the chance. He continued, "Actually, I don't care whether my grandparents are biased towards me or not, but hearing you say those things to them, I know that having you is enough. With you, I can persevere no matter what kind of treatment I encounter. When I was lying in the hospital bed, blind and lame, the only thing I thought of was you. Right now, even though I'm with you, you're all I think about. Ye Qing, I can't live without you."
Ye Qing didn't know how to express the shock she felt upon hearing Xi Quan's words. To be loved so much by a man was, in fact, a blessing.
But now that they're husband and wife, talking about it too much would seem a bit pretentious.
Moreover, Ye Qing was never one to be sentimental. After holding Xi Quan in silence for a while, Ye Qing thought for a moment and then changed the subject: "What did you call me about earlier? I heard you sounded quite anxious?"
Speaking of this, Xi Quan also remembered it. He slowly released Ye Qing and carefully looked at Ye Qing.
He was so moved that he forgot about Ye Qing leaving Zitai Fashion. Remembering that the two of them had argued about it the day before, Xi Quan felt a little guilty. He wondered if Ye Qing was still angry or if he was just asking.
It was hard to tell, but Ye Qing was waiting for his answer. After hesitating for a moment, Xi Quan said, "Are you really going to leave Zitai Fashion? Didn't Xi Yue agree to your plan?"
"Do you think what I said yesterday about leaving Zitai Fashion was just something I said in anger?" Ye Qing asked Xi Quan.
Xi Quan wanted to nod in agreement, but looking at Ye Qing's attitude, it seemed that Ye Qing's words yesterday were not said in anger. However, if they weren't said in anger, Xi Quan couldn't quite understand it.
"Why...why do you insist on leaving Zitai Fashion?" Xi Quan asked. "Wasn't Zitai Fashion's current business development model your idea? Everything is your idea..."
Ye Qing nodded: "Indeed, these are all my ideas. I put forward the ideas, and the general manager can just lead everyone to continue doing it according to this idea. I don't need to rush to the front."
Seeing that Xi Quan was still quite puzzled, Ye Qing said, "If I weren't at Zitai Fashion, do you think people would still think of me when they hear about Zitai Fashion?"
Xi Quan pondered for a moment after hearing Ye Qing's words and said, "I really didn't expect that."
"Although you acquired Zitai Fashion, people still don't really think of you when they mention Zitai Fashion. Legally speaking, I'm just an employee at Zitai Fashion, albeit with a higher position. But anyone who has a grudge against me feels that Zitai Fashion belongs to me, so they wish they could just kill Zitai Fashion to get revenge on me."
