Ye Qing's simple sentence made Huang Yu even more nervous. He had only intended to use a harmless joke to stop Ye Qing from asking further questions, but he did not expect Ye Qing to be smarter than he thought and to have figured something out from his joke.
Huang Yu does have a partnership with Xi Quan, but Huang Yu really doesn't want any conflict between Xi Quan and Ye Qing because of something he said wrong.
Moreover, it's obvious that Ye Qing has no idea what Xi Quan has done, and Xi Quan doesn't intend for Ye Qing to know either.
As a fellow man, Huang Yu could actually understand Xi Quan's thoughts, especially since Ye Qing was currently pregnant.
Huang Yu glanced at Ye Qing, who was waiting for his answer, and knew he couldn't remain silent, nor could he be easily fooled.
After thinking for a moment, Huang Yu said, avoiding the main point, "It wouldn't be accurate to say that Xi Quan and I are not familiar with each other. After all, because of your relationship with Huang Fei, and since we are both in business, we will have some interactions."
"Besides, you and Huang Fei previously co-founded a talent agency, right? You know I have shares in it. Now my situation with my own company is a bit awkward, so I'm hoping that agency can make money. Xi Quan has been managing that agency, so I've had more contact with him."
This sounded perfectly reasonable, but Ye Qing easily seized on the loophole: "Didn't you invest money in that agency for Huang Fei's sake? If I remember correctly, the contract you signed stated that all the profits from your investment would go to Huang Fei. How come it sounds like the profits from your investment ultimately belong to you?"
"No, this is..." Huang Yu swallowed nervously, thinking that this person knew far too much.
Actually, there was no problem with Huang Yu telling Ye Qing what was going on with Jiang Xinya, Yang Zi, and Su Zhe. The problem is that he didn't tell her in the beginning, and judging from Ye Qing's attitude, Xi Quan didn't tell Ye Qing either.
Moreover, Ye Qing's attitude now clearly indicates that she is somewhat angry. If I tell Ye Qing everything in detail, and Ye Qing gets angry and goes back to argue with Xi Quan, wouldn't I become the one who started it all?
What's even more infuriating is that even if Huang Yu doesn't say anything now, judging from Ye Qing's attitude, he'll definitely go back and confront Xi Quan.
Being caught in a dilemma perfectly describes Huang Yu's current situation. No matter what he does, it might anger Ye Qing and cause her to argue with Xi Quan.
Huang Yu thought that since that was the case, it would be better to let Xi Quan explain the specifics to Ye Qing himself.
Ye Qing already knew that Xi Quan was hiding something from her. It would be a lie to say she wasn't angry at all, but she wasn't as angry as Huang Yu thought.
Seeing Huang Yu's predicament, Ye Qing didn't ask any further questions.
To find out what Li Yeming and Jiang Xinya talked about, Ye Qing left home early in the morning, almost at the same time as her workday. She was already downstairs, and it was almost dinnertime. If she continued chatting with Huang Yu here, she would probably have to eat dinner together. However, Ye Qing had no intention of eating with Huang Yu.
So Ye Qing didn't continue exchanging pleasantries with Huang Yu, and took advantage of Huang Yu's misunderstanding that she was angry to leave.
When Ye Qing arrived home, Xi Quan had not yet returned, nor was Aunt Zhang. It was almost dinnertime, and it was a bit strange that Aunt Zhang was not there. However, since Aunt Zhang did not have any contact information and could not be reached, she called Xi Quan.
It turned out that Xi Quan had something to do that evening and couldn't leave, so he asked Aunt Zhang to pick up the child.
Knowing the reason, Ye Qing hung up the phone without saying anything else.
Although there was nothing wrong with Ye Qing's tone, Xi Quan still found it a little hard to accept that Ye Qing hung up the phone so decisively.
After all, the two of them were no longer in the state where Xi Quan was chasing after Ye Qing. Although Ye Qing still wouldn't cling to Xi Quan too much because of her personality, Xi Quan hadn't encountered such a decisive treatment from Ye Qing in a long time.
So I was very confused at the moment, but I was already starting to worry. What's wrong with Ye Qing?
However, Xi Quan's concerns were soon answered.
Huang Yu called Xi Quan and told him about Ye Qing's meeting with him that afternoon, so that Xi Quan could be mentally prepared.
Originally, Xi Quan didn't think it was a big deal. In his view, Ye Qing was pregnant now, and as her husband, it was only right that he help her deal with some of her troubles so that she wouldn't worry.
However, Huang Yu's attitude on the phone made Xi Quan, who hadn't thought there was anything wrong, very uneasy. Huang Yu's phone call, along with Ye Qing's attitude on the phone earlier, were the reasons for Xi Quan's unease.
Ye Qing, who was at home, had no idea that her unconscious hanging up of the phone had made Xi Quan feel uneasy.
As I said before, Ye Qing knew that Xi Quan was hiding something from her, and she was somewhat angry, but not to the point of being furious.
She knew that Xi Quan hadn't told her because it was for her sake, since she was pregnant.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qing went to the kitchen to check what dishes were available and prepare to cook.
Before, because Aunt Zhang was around, Ye Qing hadn't cooked for a long time, but now that Aunt Zhang has gone to pick up the children, she can still manage to cook when she's able to.
Moreover, Ye Qing felt that her cooking was not bad either.
Although Xi Quan asked Zhang Sao to pick up the child, he didn't get home very late. The reason he asked Zhang Sao to go was because he was afraid that he wouldn't be finished by the time he picked up the child and would be late, so he called Zhang Sao.
However, after receiving calls from Ye Qing and Huang Yu, Xi Quan was no longer so calm and collected. He finished his work efficiently and rushed back.
So he, Zhang's wife, and the child arrived home almost together.
As soon as they entered the house, they smelled the aroma of food, and Xi Quan and Zhang Sao knew that Ye Qing had cooked it.
Both of them reacted with concern and went to the kitchen without prior arrangement.
Aunt Zhang was worried that something might happen to Ye Qing, who was heavily pregnant. Xi Quan had similar concerns, but he had one more thing to say: he felt that Ye Qing's actions were a silent protest.
However, in front of Aunt Zhang and the children, Xi Quan couldn't say anything, but he was very attentive to Ye Qing.
Seeing the worried expressions on Xi Quan's and the others' faces, Ye Qing wondered if it was really necessary.
Cooking is nothing, it's no big deal!
However, Xi Quan's unusually attentive manner made Ye Qing swallow her words back.
After dinner, Aunt Zhang finished cleaning up and then played with the two children, allowing Ye Qing and Xi Quan to have a good chat.
Back in the room, Ye Qing asked Xi Quan, "What's wrong with you today?"
"I'm fine." Xi Quan hadn't figured out how to say it yet.
Ye Qing said, "Even Aunt Zhang noticed that you were being a little too attentive today. Are you sure you're alright?"
