"You like Huang Fei's open-mindedness, his insistence on his own ideas to the point of being a bit obsessive?" Ye Qing's first half of the sentence was about Huang Fei's strengths, while the second half was a subtle dig at Huang Fei's character flaws.
At this moment, Ye Qing didn't think it was appropriate to say that to her client; she was treating Huang Fei as a rival in love.
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Xi Quan cupped her cheeks and kissed her: "I like you, I only like you."
"Then you..." After hearing Xi Quan's words, Ye Qing subconsciously had many questions she wanted to ask, but Xi Quan didn't give her the chance, afraid that if Ye Qing asked too many questions, he wouldn't be able to explain clearly, and it would be terrible if Ye Qing guessed something.
"I asked Huang Fei that out of curiosity. Huang Fei was quite famous a couple of years ago. When I went out to socialize with people, some people would mention his name."
As the saying goes, "People fear becoming famous, just as pigs fear growing fat." Since I'm a celebrity, there are all sorts of gossip and rumors. When others are talking about it, I only listen to a few bits and pieces and then forget about it.
I happened to run into them today, and remembering something I'd heard before, I asked a question out of curiosity. Since I'd already asked, I wanted to be tactful. It wouldn't be appropriate to say I'd overheard it during a social gathering.
Xi Quan's reason was impeccable, and Ye Qing believed it. She said, "Hmph, I'll believe you for now."
Raising an eyebrow, Xi Quan hugged Ye Qing: "You can always trust me."
After saying that, he whispered something in Ye Qing's ear. Ye Qing was very embarrassed after hearing it, her cheeks turned bright red, and she raised her hand to hit Xi Quan. Xi Quan grabbed Ye Qing's hand and gently pushed her down...
However, the two of them didn't do anything because they were thinking about the child; they only made a fuss for a short while.
Huang Fei decided to use the dress designed by Ye Qing and had already paid the deposit. Xu Xiaoyue's wedding dress would need to be redesigned, but since there was still some time before Xu Xiaoyue's wedding, there was still time. Ye Qing was now focusing all her energy on Huang Fei's dress.
During this period, Liang Youjie's case went to trial, and because the evidence was conclusive, he was sentenced on the spot to fifteen years in prison.
Ye Qing didn't attend the court hearing; she heard it from Xi Quan. To be honest, although Liang Youjie deserved his punishment, the outcome was still regrettable.
Xi Quan returned from the court hearing around dinner time, so he and Ye Qing discussed these matters at the dinner table.
Ye Qing couldn't help but sigh, "Speaking of which, Quan Zhen really ruined people. Liang Youjie was her own son, how could she be so heartless as to abandon her own child?"
After saying that, Ye Qing seemed to have thought of something and said, "However, she is just like my own mother, both are ruthless people."
No sooner had Ye Qing finished speaking than the sound of a plate shattering came from the kitchen.
Xi Quan and Ye Qing both looked towards the kitchen, but Xi Quan seemed unsurprised.
Ye Qing stood up, supporting herself on the table, and walked to the kitchen. Seeing Zhang Sao cleaning up the broken pieces, she couldn't help but ask, "Zhang Sao, what happened to you? How many plates have you broken?"
"Sorry, it was a slip of the hand. Deduct it from my salary."
Ye Qing said, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying that Xi Quan and I are being harsh on you? Breaking the plate isn't the point. The point is that you can't always be so distracted when you're working. It's a good thing the two kids aren't here. What if you were this distracted when you were looking after the kids?"
The two children were picked up by Xi Quan's grandparents.
“I know, I know, I’m really not like this when I’m looking after the kids.” As she spoke, Aunt Zhang shooed Ye Qing out, “Go eat quickly, the kitchen floor is wet and slippery, and the broken glass on the floor hasn’t been cleaned up yet, you’ll step on it.”
Ye Qing is showing her pregnancy now; you can see her belly. She's also becoming a little clumsy when she walks.
She knew she was getting in the way, but Zhang Sao's absent-mindedness always worried Ye Qing.
Xi Quan went over, helped Ye Qing up, and let her continue eating.
"What's wrong with Zhang Sao?" Ye Qing glanced at the kitchen again, then asked Xi Quan, "Did her family come looking for her again?"
Xi Quan followed Ye Qing's gaze and glanced in the direction of the kitchen, but did not directly answer Ye Qing's question: "You don't need to worry too much. Ranran and Xinxin are at my grandparents' house, right? They can pick up and drop off the children for the time being. Besides, Xi Yue's mental state is getting better and better, and she can help out a little. We'll just be cooking here, which won't be a problem."
Xi Quan said all this to divert Ye Qing's attention, so mentioning Xi Yue was also intentional.
He successfully diverted Ye Qing's attention. When Ye Qing heard Xi Quan mention Xi Yue, she asked, "By the way, how are Xi Yue and Liang Lu doing now?"
"It's all good. I don't know much about Xi Yue, since it's a matter of relationships, and it's not really appropriate for me to ask her. But Liang Lu hasn't been going out much lately," Xi Quan said, sharing what he knew.
Actually, Ye Qing could ask Xi Yue about her love life, since they're both women and it would be easy to talk. However, although Ye Qing's relationship with Xi Yue is better than before, it's still not the same as her relationship with Xu Xiaoyue, so Ye Qing didn't ask Xi Yue.
If Xi Yue and Liang Lu can really get together, that would be a good thing. "Didn't they say they were going to get married? Are they still getting married?"
"I didn't ask, and I haven't heard anything about it. They're probably just dating right now. I think that's fine. They can get married after they've settled down. It's not good to rush things. After all, you know Xi Yue... If we rush into marriage and then get divorced, and Xi Yue doesn't turn out well, it would be a huge loss."
Ye Qing and Xi Quan shared the same idea.
Although Xi Yue's condition had nothing to do with Ye Qing, it was related to Ye Shuwei, which made Ye Qing feel somewhat awkward. Now that Xi Yue was better, Ye Qing felt much less burdened.
After talking about Xi Yue, Ye Qing and Xi Quan chatted about other things for a while. The phone rang, and looking towards the living room, they saw that Aunt Zhang was still busy in the kitchen, so Xi Quan went to answer the phone.
"Seat rights?"
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Xi Quan frowned. It sounded familiar. He glanced at Ye Qing, who was still eating, and asked, "Who are you?"
"My name is Yang Xiujuan."
That day outside Xi Quan's residential area, Yang Xiujuan told Xi Quan everything she knew. She thought it would be troublesome to ask Zhang Sao for money again, but to her surprise, Xi Quan found her a job as a caregiver at the nursing home where her mentally challenged son lived.
This was a really good thing for Yang Xiujuan, and she was somewhat grateful to Xi Quan.
Xi Quan recognized Yang Xiujuan's voice. He had only asked to confirm. The reason he helped Yang Xiujuan find a job was not because he was kind-hearted, but because of Ye Qing. Otherwise, given how often Yang Xiujuan came to Zhang Sao to ask for money, Ye Qing might have run into her one day.
So Xi Quan's original intention was not to disturb Yang Xiujuan, but who knew that she would actually call his home.
