Xi Quan shook his head: "It's nothing."
Xi Quan had always felt that Ye Qing was too serious and tense most of the time, but now that she was like this, Xi Quan was actually quite happy.
"Since everything's alright, let's get serious." Ye Qing looked very serious: "Then I'll ask you one more time, have you realized your problem?"
"I understand, please enlighten me, my dear wife." Xi Quan followed Ye Qing's words and spoke with a serious expression.
The words "My dear wife" made Ye Qing's cheeks suddenly flush slightly. She, who had been pretending to be serious, couldn't hold back her composure. She turned her head away from Xi Quan and coughed lightly twice to cover up her emotions. "Alright then, I accept your apology."
After she finished speaking, looking at Xi Quan's smiling face, Ye Qing was afraid that he would say something that would embarrass her.
Moreover, Xi Yue was still waiting in Xu Xiaoyue's dressing room, and Ye Qing felt that it wasn't appropriate for her to chat with Xi Quan here.
So after she finished speaking, before Xi Quan could say anything, she quickly asked, "So what are you going to say when you see Xi Yue later?"
Hearing Ye Qing's words, Xi Quan gradually became serious. He thought for a moment and said, "Things are already like this, what can we do? Blame her? It would be a lie to say we don't, but if we really argue with her or something, it might upset her and cause even more trouble..."
At this point, Xi Quan stopped and looked at Ye Qing, wanting to take this opportunity to explain some things on his mind to her, because Ye Qing was his wife, and they were going to grow old together. They would face many things together in the future.
When Xi Yue and Xu Xiaoyue came out, they saw Xi Quan looking at Ye Qing.
Because of the angle, Xi Yue and Xu Xiaoyue couldn't discern the specific emotions in Xi Quan and Ye Qing's eyes, but they appeared very affectionate. So, Xi Yue and Xu Xiaoyue exchanged a glance and then tacitly decided to go back to the dressing room and wait until Ye Qing and Xi Quan finished talking before coming out.
However, as soon as he turned around, he heard Xi Quan speak in a deep voice: "Although Xi Yue and I are only cousins, not biological siblings, Xi Yue is still my responsibility. It's good that she's doing well now, but if she's not doing well, although I'll be angry and might feel furious about what she did, I can't just abandon her. Although Xi Yue and I have different backgrounds, we feel like we're bound by fate in terms of family ties. You understand what I mean?"
Ye Qing grasped Xi Quan's hand and nodded: "You don't need to say anything, I understand."
Xi Yue had already started walking, but upon hearing Xi Quan's words, she instinctively stopped. Not only did Xi Quan's words surprise Xi Yue, but Ye Qing's words also made her feel guilty and conflicted.
Xi Yue's steps seemed to freeze, and she could no longer move.
Xi Quan grasped Ye Qing's hand in return and said, "What I mean is..."
Ye Qing didn't let Xi Yue say it aloud because she understood everything Xi Yue was saying. She wasn't just comforting Xi Quan; she genuinely understood. She said, "Just like when Xi Yue and I had conflicts, we drifted apart, and even argued, I never asked you to treat Xi Yue any differently. Just like you said, although Xi Yue's emotions and attitudes weren't good, she is still your family. I have no right or reason to ask you to abandon your family after being with me, because I know how precious family is."
Xi Quan glanced at Ye Qing, then raised his hand and turned her head to lean on his shoulder. Xi Quan thought to himself, with a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for?
However, saying it in such a literary way seems distant and pretentious.
It was already a little embarrassing for a grown man to say so many sentimental things, so Xi Quan didn't say anything, but expressed his emotion through his actions, tightening his grip on Ye Qing's shoulder slightly.
Although Xi Yue didn't want to disturb Ye Qing and Xi Quan at this moment, upon hearing their words, she couldn't help but cry again.
At first, she just cried silently, but gradually she started to sob.
The huge photography studio was empty except for a few people, and the echoes were quite loud in such a space.
After Ye Qing and Xi Quan fell silent, Xi Yue's sobs became especially loud.
Ye Qing and Xi Quan turned around at the same time. Ye Qing then glanced at Xi Quan and gestured for him to help her to her feet.
After being helped to stand up by Xi Quan, Ye Qing walked to Xi Yue's side, took out a tissue from her bag, and handed it to her.
Since Xi Quan was also there, Xu Xiaoyue said goodbye to Ye Qing and Xi Quan and left first.
Although she had overheard quite a bit earlier, Xu Xiaoyue knew her limits. She couldn't avoid hearing what she had heard earlier, but now that she could avoid it, she knew that it wasn't appropriate for her to stay and listen any longer, even though she was loud and loved gossip.
Although a photo studio isn't a great place to talk, the good thing is there are no outsiders here, so we can have a proper chat.
After Xu Xiaoyue left, Xi Yue seemed to have no more scruples. She looked at Ye Qing and Xi Quan and burst into tears, both for what Ye Qing and Xi Quan had said earlier and for her grandmother's passing.
Although Xi Yue had cried countless times since her grandmother passed away, this time her family's understanding finally brought her relief.
There's no need to worry that Xi Quan will be angry and furious after he finds out the real reason for his grandmother's death.
Xi Quan's attitude seemed to indicate that he wouldn't blame himself much.
She did feel relieved, but Xi Yue also knew how tolerant Xi Quan was of her.
Unlike Xi Quan, who has a wife and children, Xi Yue's family now really consists of Xi Quan and her grandfather.
Therefore, Xi Quan's understanding is especially important to Xi Yue.
After crying for a while, Xi Yue calmed down and said, "Now there's nothing I'm afraid to tell Grandpa. When I get back, I'll tell him about Grandma..."
Before Xi Yue could finish speaking, and before Xi Quan could say anything, Ye Qing interrupted her: "There's no need to tell Grandpa. The dead can't be brought back to life. Why make Grandpa sad again? Grandpa cares for you no less than Grandma does. If he knew the real reason for Grandma's death, do you think he wouldn't worry about you?"
Because of Ye Qing's words, Xi Yue stopped wiping her tears. She looked at Ye Qing and then at Xi Quan, as if to say, "Aren't you going to talk?"
In fact, Xi Quan didn't quite understand Ye Qing's meaning either. After exchanging a glance with Xi Yue, he and Xi Yue also looked at Ye Qing.
Seeing the puzzled looks on the two siblings' faces, Ye Qing explained, "Since Grandpa thinks it was Aunt Zhang who said it, let him think that way. Besides, when I went to see Grandpa today, he didn't blame me, so that's enough. Let's not make things worse."
