After Xi Quan finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Sao, who was standing at the junction of the kitchen and the living room.
Although it was clear that Aunt Zhang felt guilty and had mixed feelings about what Ye Qing said, Xi Quan quickly turned his head away. Looking at Ye Qing's expression, Xi Quan became even more determined in his decision: there were some things that Ye Qing should not know, and he would help her solve them himself.
Even if there are many unspeakable difficulties behind some things, which is why they have to do them, in Xi Quan's view, no matter what the reason, the damage to Ye Qing has already been done, and it cannot be forgiven just because there are difficulties and hardships.
Ye Qing wasn't originally a sentimental person, but perhaps because her first pregnancy was so difficult, she's become more sentimental now, which is something that makes her, who is already sensitive during pregnancy, more prone to melancholy.
She cried in Xi Quan's arms for a while, then wiped away her tears and said, "I'm fine."
Xi Quan looked at Ye Qing's eyes, which were red and swollen from crying, and kissed her.
After Ye Qing went to sleep that night, Xi Quan went downstairs alone. Ye Qing had a habit of keeping a glass of water by her bedside every day. If she woke up thirsty at night, she would take a sip. Before going to bed today, she finished the glass of water because she was thirsty.
So Xi Quan went downstairs and poured Ye Qing another glass.
Unexpectedly, I saw Aunt Zhang sitting alone at the kitchen table, seemingly lost in thought.
Although he didn't know what Aunt Zhang was thinking, it wasn't hard to guess. Xi Quan paused for a moment, poured himself a glass of water, and prepared to go upstairs when he heard Aunt Zhang's voice: "Xi Quan, how is Ye Qing now?"
Originally, he hadn't planned to say much, but when he heard Aunt Zhang ask that question, to be honest, Xi Quan was a little angry with Ye Qing, so he asked, "Do you want Ye Qing to be well or not?"
"Of course I hope Ye Qing gets better," Aunt Zhang said eagerly.
Xi Quan stared at Zhang Sao for a long time. The restaurant was dimly lit, which made Xi Quan's eyes look much sharper than usual. Zhang Sao thought that Xi Quan didn't believe her, and hurriedly explained, "Of course I hope Ye Qing gets better, that's for sure, I..."
"Since you want Ye Qing to be well, then control yourself. What you were thinking back then is too long ago, and no one wants to dwell on it. I don't have the time for that either. To me, Ye Qing is the most important person. So don't act strangely whenever you hear something. You can fool her once or twice, but in the long run, Ye Qing will start to suspect something. If it doesn't work, just find an excuse to leave."
Hearing Xi Quan say this, Aunt Zhang anxiously spoke again: "I will definitely control my emotions in the future and won't let Ye Qing see anything. Besides, Ye Qing is pregnant now, and it won't be easy to find a suitable nanny in a short time. I really won't hurt Ye Qing."
Xi Quan believed that Zhang Sao would not harm Ye Qing again, so he did not let Zhang Sao leave and kept her at home. This was also for the reason that Zhang Sao said: no one could be more devoted than her.
However, since the topic has come up, Xi Quan felt he should remind Aunt Zhang: "Just like Ye Qing said, although we won't be harsh on you for breaking a few plates, it's not right for you to lose your temper and smash plates every time you hear something."
"I understand, I understand." Aunt Zhang didn't actually want Ye Qing to know what happened back then, because she really had nothing to explain about it.
If she were just a nanny, Xi Quan probably wouldn't have said so much. However, since she's not just a nanny, it's inappropriate for Xi Quan to say too much, but it's also inappropriate for him to say nothing.
Moreover, seeing Zhang Sao's attitude, Xi Quan felt that it was about time, picked up his water glass, and was about to leave.
However, after taking a few steps, Xi Quan suddenly remembered something and turned back, "Does Huang Fei know about her background?"
Aunt Zhang also stood up, intending to go back to her room. Upon hearing Xi Quan's words, she was startled again, and then her eyes darted away.
Xi Quan narrowed his eyes: "Ye Qing is designing dresses for Huang Fei now. You should know that Ye Qing called back the other day. I just want to know if Huang Fei sought out Ye Qing because of her reputation or if she has other motives?"
“No, no, she had no ulterior motive…” Aunt Zhang helped to deny it.
But after denying it, she looked at Xi Quan and saw that he still had a scrutinizing gaze. Zhang Sao explained, "Back then, I felt that Huang Fei had guessed my identity. I didn't want her to know, so I left their house and stopped working as a nanny there. But she has a twin sister, which she absolutely does not know."
This was similar to the time Xi Quan encountered Huang Fei at Ye Qing's studio and tried to probe Huang Fei.
"From what you've said, it's clear you don't want the two sisters to know who their biological mother is. In that case, don't say anything more, at least don't let Ye Qing know. Huang Fei's upbringing was much better than Ye Qing's." After saying that, Xi Quan didn't say anything more to Zhang Sao.
Xi Quan returned to the bedroom and saw that Ye Qing was sleeping soundly. He kissed Ye Qing's forehead and secretly resolved to protect her well.
Ye Qing was not a sentimental person to begin with; her crying earlier was simply because she suddenly felt a bit emotional.
After that, Ye Qing once again transformed into the decisive and efficient workplace elite she always was.
Because the studio itself was doing well, many people came specifically for Ye Qing. Upon learning that Ye Qing was pregnant, they were worried that she wouldn't be taking on any work for at least six months, so they all wanted to take advantage of this time to have several outfits designed by Ye Qing.
Therefore, Ye Qing has been extremely busy lately.
Xi Quan was aware of Ye Qing's situation, but fortunately, Ye Qing was mostly busy drawing, so Xi Quan didn't interfere much.
Moreover, Xi Quan also knew that if Ye Qing were to go home, Ye Qing would be a restless person who would also have to work. If she worked from home, Ye Qing would have to handle everything by herself. In the studio, apart from drawing, her colleagues could help her with the rest of the work.
After starting work each day, they each go about their own business.
After get off work, Xi Quan usually picks up Ye Qing personally, unless he has unavoidable social engagements.
Today, Xi Quan called Ye Qing and said that he had something to do and couldn't pick her up from get off work. Ye Qing didn't think much of it, after all, Xi Quan is now the boss of a company, not someone who can just sit around doing nothing, so he must have a lot of things to do.
It was almost time to leave work, and Ye Qing had almost finished her tasks and was about to leave when someone came to see her.
It's Ye Shuang.
Seeing Ye Shuang, Ye Qing wasn't too surprised. After all, she had told Ye Shuang about her plan to use him. So, upon seeing Ye Shuang, Ye Qing asked directly, "How did things go?"
Ye Shuang looked at Ye Qing, a hint of excitement in her eyes: "I only came to you after it was all done. You can trust me to get things done."
