Ye Qing sighed and told Ye Shuang about her thoughts. Then she said, "No matter what the reason is, I always feel a little uneasy."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Shuang said, "Then I'll help you find out."
Ye Shuang thought that since Ye Qing had helped her so much, it wouldn't be a problem for her to help inquire about this small matter. After all, for Ye Qing, knowing whether there was anything going on was just a precaution, so that she wouldn't be too passive if something did happen.
So Ye Shuang readily agreed to Ye Qing's request.
Although it's still undecided whether the cover will actually be shot, it's possible that Jiang Xinya might choose the alternative option in a fit of anger.
However, in Ye Qing's view, this possibility is getting smaller and smaller.
After all, if Jiang Xinya had a choice, she probably wouldn't have made herself suffer by coming to find him again and again.
In addition, there's Dalson.
Ye Qing felt that the cover design was a done deal.
By the way, Dalson, although the reason this foreigner asked Ye Qing to shoot the cover seems reasonable, Ye Qing doesn't want to speculate on whether he has ulterior motives. However, Ye Qing still vividly remembers one of the reasons Dalson gave Ye Qing when he approached him.
Dalson said that Ye Qing was already quite well-known abroad, but now that she has returned to Nancheng to start a new business, her path is similar to that of the magazine, which is why they asked Ye Qing to shoot the cover.
Ye Qing agreed, and Dalson's words implied that he appreciated Ye Qing's entrepreneurial endeavors.
Since that's the case, as the cover star of their inaugural issue, Ye Qing figured he couldn't just accept that.
Moreover, Ye Qing felt that the matter of establishing a school with Li Yeming, which she had previously agreed upon, was more in line with the theme of the magazine's inaugural issue.
Moreover, since Ye Qing can also take the opportunity to advertise for the studio, it seems even more appropriate to publicize the cooperative education program.
But the key issue now is that while she wanted to spread the word, the school said they needed to think about it after the last contact and hasn't given Ye Qing any news since.
Ye Qing thought she would take this opportunity to contact the school again and see what the school's opinion was.
After returning home that evening, Ye Qing shared her thoughts with Xi Quan. Xi Quan agreed with Ye Qing, but he felt somewhat uncomfortable about Ye Qing shooting the cover.
Of course, Xi Quan's discomfort wasn't because of Ye Qing's cover shoot itself, but because of Dilson. Although Ye Qing seemed to be in contact with Jiang Xinya recently, Xi Quan knew that without Dilson's insistence, Ye Qing wouldn't have gotten the chance, regardless of whether she fit the theme of the magazine's inaugural issue.
However, although Xi Quan felt uncomfortable, he also knew that this was an opportunity for Ye Qing, and he couldn't prevent Ye Qing from filming just because he was petty.
The mere thought of Ye Qing having to cross paths with Dalson made Xi Quan feel irritated.
After thinking about it, he couldn't help but tentatively ask Ye Qing if he had been in contact with Dalson recently.
Ye Qing understood the meaning behind Xi Quan's words, gave him a teasing look, and then raised her arm to hit Xi Quan's shoulder. She originally wanted to hug Xi Quan, but because her belly was getting bigger every day, it successfully blocked Ye Qing and Xi Quan from getting close.
Moreover, Ye Qing's arms weren't that long, and her stomach was in the middle, so she would get tired after just a short while of resting her arms on them.
Xi Quan spun Ye Qing around in his arms, letting her sit on his lap. Ye Qing gasped in surprise at Xi Quan's action, afraid that he might lose his grip and she would fall.
Seeing Ye Qing's nervous expression, Xi Quan said quietly, "Don't worry, I'm holding my wife and child. Even if I fall down, I won't let you fall down."
Hearing Xi Quan say that, Ye Qing leaned affectionately on Xi Quan's shoulder and continued the conversation Xi Quan had just made by probing her: "Look at me now, I've gained so much weight and become ugly. It's only because you don't mind that I'm like this."
These words were meant to reassure Xi Quan, to tell him that there was nothing between him and Dalson.
However, Xi Quan disagreed with Ye Qing's statement.
The last time Ye Qing was pregnant, Xi Quan didn't see her or stay by her side, so he doesn't know what she was like then. But this time, Xi Quan has been by Ye Qing's side the whole time.
Aside from her large belly, Ye Qing's limbs hardly changed during this pregnancy.
Xi Quan even thought it was better for Ye Qing to be a little chubby, because although Ye Qing was definitely chubby in the right places before, she was thin overall. In fact, many times when Xi Quan hugged Ye Qing, he felt uncomfortable.
But at that time, Ye Qing was busy making a living, so it was difficult for her to gain weight.
Xi Quan, however, hoped that Ye Qing would gain some weight after giving birth this time.
He casually pinched Ye Qing's cheek and said, "You, you don't even realize how beautiful you are."
Being praised was bound to make Ye Qing happy; of course she was. Thinking about Xi Quan's probing words earlier, Ye Qing said, "We didn't take any photos to commemorate my pregnancy last time. Should we commemorate it this time?"
Xi Quan didn't quite understand what Ye Qing meant by those words.
Seeing his confused look, Ye Qing explained, "It's like taking wedding photos. It's becoming popular abroad to take photos to commemorate pregnancy, wearing bikinis or something, with the belly sticking out. I've seen other people take photos like that. We'll take one with Ye Yixin and Ye Yiran, so it'll be a family portrait."
After listening to what Ye Qing said, Xi Quan was also a little tempted.
Seeing that Xi Quan had taken it to heart and was also tempted, Ye Qing pressed on: "Besides, Liang Lu is a photographer, and a very famous one at that. We don't need to go to photo studios or salons to take pictures; we can just ask him to do it."
Xi Quan had been listening attentively, but upon hearing Ye Qing's words, he frowned and said, "Let's talk about it later."
Just now Xi Quan seemed very interested, but in no time he lost interest. Ye Qing was quite surprised and was about to ask him what was wrong, but then she remembered what she had just said and swallowed her words.
It was my own carelessness. Why did I go to Liang Lu? Although Xi Quan's grandmother's matter wasn't directly related to Liang Lu, it still caused a stir. Although Xi Quan and Liang Lu didn't completely break off their relationship, their relationship wasn't as close as before.
Thinking of this, Ye Qing thought of Xi Yue and Liang Lu, wondering if the two of them had made things clear yet.
Although Xi Quan seemed a little uninterested, he didn't mention Dilson again, which Ye Qing considered a successful change of topic.
Since Jiang Xinya hadn't given any feedback from the magazine, Ye Qing thought she should contact Nancheng University first to see how they were considering it. If it worked out, she would mention it during a short interview after the cover shoot.
However, just as Ye Qing was thinking about contacting Nancheng University, Nancheng University contacted Ye Qing first, which made Ye Qing's heart skip a beat.
