Xi Quan glanced at Ye Qing, but did not answer her question immediately. He remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Wait and see if Su Zhe will come to me and tell me that his relationship with Yang Zi was just a pretense."
Although Xi Quan's tone was very calm, Ye Qing could detect a vulnerability in it.
Ye Qing suddenly realized that Xi Quan wasn't as indifferent as he claimed.
Thinking about it, it makes sense. How could he not care? In terms of family ties, Xi Quan seems to have gained more than Ye Qing, but in reality, he's not much better off than Ye Qing.
So even though Su Zhe wasn't actually Xi Quan's biological brother, Xi Quan still held onto hope. Moreover, for a long time, Xi Quan didn't know about his and Su Zhe's background; he regarded Su Zhe as his biological brother.
Xi Quan's feelings for Su Zhe were evident from the moment he learned of Quan Zhen's true identity.
After learning who Quan Zhen really was, Xi Quan showed no mercy to her, but remained the same towards Su Zhe, even better than before. He didn't hold a grudge against Su Zhe because of Quan Zhen, which shows how much Xi Quan cares about family ties.
If Su Zhe really does collude with Yang Zi, Ye Qing believes Xi Quan should be able to handle it, or at least have a countermeasure.
In the end, Xi Quan may have won, but in matters of the heart, he lost.
After much internal struggle, Ye Qing still didn't know how to comfort Xi Quan.
Ye Qing couldn't guarantee that he could wait for Su Zhe. If Su Zhe didn't come, Xi Quan would be even more disappointed.
To say that Su Zhe won't come looking for Xi Quan when everything is still unclear is incredibly discouraging.
After thinking it over, Ye Qing still didn't say anything. She thought she would just give Xi Quan a hug.
However, because she was pregnant, Ye Qing, who was sitting next to Xi Quan, couldn't easily turn around to hug him. So, Ye Qing stood up, stood in front of Xi Quan, hugged him, and comforted him.
Xi Quan wanted to wrap his arms around Ye Qing's waist, but because Ye Qing's belly was getting bigger every day, he couldn't hold her anymore, so Xi Quan lay on Ye Qing's belly.
It wasn't a very comfortable position, but at that moment, Xi Quan felt incredibly at ease, as if all his worries had vanished.
Perhaps because it knew that its father was lying on its mother's belly, the baby in Ye Qing's belly also began to kick and thrash wildly. Xi Quan could clearly feel the baby's movements. His face was held up by his belly, and Xi Quan could clearly feel the baby "kicking" him.
At this moment, all the noise and disturbances outside seemed to become insignificant.
The happiness we have right now is the most important thing.
Ye Qing didn't know what Xi Quan was thinking, but she felt the same way. The baby in her belly was moving frequently, but after Xi Quan gently soothed it a couple of times, the baby would quiet down. Then, as if encouraged, the baby would continue to kick its arms and legs, only to quiet down again after being soothed by Xi Quan, and so on.
Because the child was inside Ye Qing's belly, Ye Qing's feelings were stronger than Xi Quan's.
She thought that a peaceful and tranquil life couldn't be better than this.
Although I'm worried about Yang Zi, Jiang Xinya, and even Su Zhe, I still don't know anything and can't do anything about it.
Ye Qing stopped going out and stayed home to rest during her pregnancy. When inspiration struck, she drew some pictures, hoping they would become the new designs for the next season after she gave birth and returned to work.
It seemed as if Ye Qing was oblivious to everything around her, but in fact, she had been keeping an eye on some things she had planned.
The first priority is the matter that I had previously discussed with Li Yeming: to start a class with Nancheng University.
We had previously discussed this matter with the school, agreeing to discuss it further after the principal returned from his business trip and to see how it should be handled.
However, the principal did not return from his business trip as scheduled. At first, Ye Qing wondered if the school was deliberately delaying his return.
However, while following education news every day, I discovered that the president of Nancheng University had appeared in the news. From the news, I learned that the president wasn't deliberately delaying things, but that something really had happened.
Ye Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In addition, the inaugural issue of Jiang Xinya's magazine was released. Ye Qing read the cover interview and found it to be the same as the sample copy sent to him by the magazine.
This also shows that Jiang Xinya did not do anything suspicious in this matter.
Although there was no problem with the magazine, Ye Qing really didn't dare to be careless because Yang Zi and Jiang Xinya were close, Jiang Xinya had approached Li Yeming and said some ambiguous things, and Su Zhe and Yang Zi were also close.
Ye Qing didn't know what to do about other things either. Perhaps that wasn't quite accurate. It should be said that before knowing what Yang Zi, Jiang Xinya, and Su Zhe were planning, Ye Qing shouldn't do anything rashly. If he alerted them or fell into their trap, he would be even more passive. It was better to wait and see and deal with whatever came his way.
Ye Qing didn't know or how to handle other things, but there was one thing she felt she could still control.
That's what I told Xi Yue before, to have her register the trademark "Jin" for Li Yeming's studio.
Just as Ye Qing was about to call Xi Yue to ask how things were going, Xi Yue called first.
Xi Yue's purpose in making the call was similar to Ye Qing's purpose in wanting to call her; Xi Yue wanted to tell Ye Qing about the progress of the trademark application.
When Ye Qing heard Xi Yue say on the phone that the trademark application was all done, Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Ye Qing had just breathed a sigh of relief and hadn't even had time to feel happy when she heard Xi Yue immediately say, "But..."
Not only had things taken a turn, but Xi Yue's hesitant tone made Ye Qing's heart skip a beat. Following her instincts, she pressed Xi Yue for an answer: "But what?"
Xi Yue remained hesitant to speak, and even through the phone, Ye Qing could imagine Xi Yue's dilemma of wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.
In this situation, Ye Qing thought it might be better not to ask, but Xi Yue's attitude was so agonizing that Ye Qing felt he would be tormented if he didn't ask. So Ye Qing pressed Xi Yue again: "But what? Say something!"
"I was just guessing," Xi Yue stammered.
Even so, Ye Qing wondered if Xi Yue didn't want to talk about it because there had been some rift in their relationship before.
So Ye Qing organized his thoughts and said, "Xi Yue, we are relatives, and I have no prejudice against you now."
Xi Yue realized that Ye Qing had misunderstood and hurriedly said, "Oh dear, that's not what I meant. Anyway, you should ask Sister Li."
