"What are your feelings for Liang Lu right now?" Ye Qing asked Xi Yue.
After asking the question, seeing Xi Yue's blank expression, Ye Qing changed her approach: "Or rather, you've been with Liang Lu for so long, do you like him? I mean, romantically? Like or love?"
"But even if we were, it wouldn't be to the point of getting married, and I'm not suited for marriage. Although my illness is cured now, who knows what will happen? I don't know if Xi Quan has told you? The reason why I was so vulnerable and was triggered into mental illness is actually due to family heredity."
"Huh?" Upon hearing Xi Yue's words, Ye Qing subconsciously looked at her stomach. Family hereditary? Then the child in her belly...
Noticing Ye Qing's actions, Xi Yue said, "It's not inherited from my grandparents' side, it's from my mother's side."
Hearing Xi Yue say this, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but not with any sense of relief. She looked at Xi Yue with concern: "So this is your reason for not wanting to get married?"
"Yes and no." Xi Yue shook her head.
Although she spoke vaguely, Ye Qing roughly understood Xi Yue's thoughts. Because of this, she was afraid that if she had children after marriage, they would inherit these traits. If this was the reason why she didn't want to get married, then...
So the reason it's not the case is still the feelings themselves.
Don't you like Liang Lu? Or are you not to the point of liking Liang Lu enough to want to get married?
Regardless of the reason, Ye Qing's feelings were extremely complicated. Some things had long been forgotten, but now that Xi Yue was so confused and wanted to talk to him, Ye Qing hesitated for a long time before finally asking, "Do you still have feelings for Ye Shuwei...?"
Ye Qing stopped mid-sentence, thinking that Xi Yue should understand what she meant.
In fact, Xi Yue did understand.
The weather wasn't cold, but Xi Yue subconsciously wrapped her clothes tighter. Ye Qing, seeing Xi Yue like this, suddenly regretted asking her that question.
Now, facing the possibility of her loved ones passing away at any moment, Xi Yue's words might remind her of those terrible past experiences...
"When someone is dead, what's the point of talking about love or liking? Actually, I stopped liking him a long time ago, but I didn't feel like I was in love with Liang Lu. Liang Lu said he's always liked me, and I believe him. He might have liked me before, but now that we're together... He's been through a lot, and I've been through a lot too. Although you might not need passion or anything like that to make it work, it must be painful for two people who clearly don't like each other to live together."
Although Ye Qing hadn't been in much contact with Xi Yue lately, she knew that Xi Yue and Liang Lu were in a relationship. But if they didn't like each other, why were they still together?
After voicing her doubts, Xi Yue gave a self-deprecating laugh: "I did hope I could fall for him, so I kept going like this. But as time went on, I realized it wasn't a question of whether I liked him or not, but rather that he seemed to like the younger version of me. It seems he doesn't like me now either. Before, I might have been able to deceive myself a little, but now..."
Xi Yue stopped mid-sentence and sighed deeply: "The moment I heard my grandmother tell me to marry Liang Lu, many images of my time with Liang Lu flashed through my mind. Those images clearly told me that there was no affection between Liang Lu and me."
In Ye Qing's opinion, it's not too late to discover these things, since the mistake hasn't been made yet. However, at this point in time... even if Xi Yue clearly knows her own feelings, she might still agree to her grandmother's request.
Ye Qing couldn't even bring herself to tell Xi Yue to think it over, because it was Xi Yue's grandmother, and it might be her grandmother's dying words.
Compared to before, Xi Yue is much more composed now. She talked to Ye Qing so much not because she hoped Ye Qing would give her any advice, but because she wanted to express what was on her mind, since she couldn't find anyone else to listen to her.
So after saying that, Xi Yue went back to her room.
Ye Qing had originally planned to talk to Xi Quan about this matter and see if he could think of a solution for Xi Yue, but Xi Quan had been staying at the hospital and hadn't gone home. Although Ye Qing had also gone to the hospital and tried to persuade Xi Quan to go home and rest, Xi Quan insisted on staying at the hospital.
Ye Qing understood that while she cared about Xi Quan, he really couldn't leave right now. After all, his father was gone, and besides his grandparents, it was just him and Xi Yue. Xi Yue couldn't handle everything alone, and his grandfather was getting old and needed care. He needed to take care of everything.
Although their family didn't have the so-called preference for sons over daughters, or the idea that men had to do certain things, the reality was that they really needed to rely on Xi Quan at this time.
All Ye Qing could do was ask Zhang Sao to cook delicious food for her every day, and she would deliver it to her.
But when Ye Qing wanted to go again today, Aunt Zhang stopped him.
Ye Qing looked at Zhang Sao with a puzzled expression.
"Xi Quan hasn't been back for so many days, and you look so worried. Is something wrong with his grandmother?"
Ye Qing didn't think much of it: "If someone's already in the hospital, it can't be a good sign."
"Do I mean, is he about to die?"
Ye Qing looked at Aunt Zhang, "What do you mean?"
“I mean, if things don’t go well, it could happen at any time… If you go there every day, and you happen to run into someone, and you’re pregnant, it’s bad luck.” Aunt Zhang couldn’t help but remind Ye Qing, “That’s why I go to deliver food every day.”
Although Ye Qing was angry, she knew that Aunt Zhang's words were actually out of concern for her. Just as she was about to say something, the phone rang at home, and Ye Qing went to answer it.
The call was from Huang Fei. Ye Qing and Huang Fei didn't contact each other often, but they did keep in touch occasionally, so Ye Qing wasn't surprised to receive a call from Huang Fei.
But after hearing what Huang Fei said, Ye Qing paused for a moment and nodded: "Yes, Ye Shuang and Huang Yu broke up."
Ye Qing has been busy with Grandma Xi Quan lately and hasn't gone to see Huang Fei yet. When she heard Huang Fei ask this, she thought she was worried about Huang Yuhe's matter.
To Ye Qing's utter shock, Huang Fei's next words left her utterly astonished!
Ye Qing had previously promised Ye Shuang to introduce the models from their company to Li Yeming, but because Xi Quan's grandmother was hospitalized, Ye Qing didn't go to see them personally. Instead, she called them separately and told them to make the arrangements themselves.
Later, Ye Shuang and Li Yeming called Ye Qing separately and told her that they had chosen two models from Ye Shuang's company.
After signing the contract, Ye Qing stopped paying attention to it. Who knew that in just a few days, he would receive such a huge... well, it's hard to say whether to call it a shock or a pleasant surprise.
Ye Qing couldn't help but ask Huang Fei, "Are you sure you didn't see wrong?"
"How could that be? I even greeted them. I know Ye Shuang, and I've even worked with the other one before."
