Ye Qing had been watching Li Yeming closely, so when she saw that after she asked her question, Li Yeming's hands clenched unconsciously. Although she tried her best to control her emotions, her eyes still flickered.
Ye Qing didn't speculate on whether Li Yeming was feeling guilty, but it was obvious that something was wrong.
So after Li Yeming asked her the question, Ye Qing, in a nonchalant tone, mimicked Li Yeming's attitude and asked her, "What do you think?"
"I only asked you because I didn't know," Li Yeming said, avoiding Ye Qing's gaze and tucking a strand of hair behind his ear.
She looked extremely uncomfortable, both in her movements and her expression.
Ye Qing looked at her silently, without saying a word.
Compared to Ye Qing, Li Yeming was old enough to be Ye Qing's elder, but whether it was because he had something on his mind or something else, Li Yeming felt a lot of pressure under Ye Qing's scrutinizing gaze.
Finally, she couldn't hold on any longer. After hesitating for a moment, Li Yeming said hesitantly, "Ye Qing, it's not that I don't want to talk to you, it's just that some things involve private matters, and they are my father and mother's private matters."
This was unexpected for Ye Qing; she hadn't anticipated that the matter would involve Li Yeming's parents.
If that's the case, then I really shouldn't keep asking.
However, even though it was inappropriate for Ye Qing to ask again, she couldn't just let it go, because what if Jiang Xinya and Yang Zi were after her?
After much deliberation and organizing his thoughts, Ye Qing said to Li Yeming, "Sister Li, I don't mean to pry into your privacy. I can understand if you don't tell me. But if Jiang Xinya tells you something and does something that ends up affecting me, then I won't tolerate it and I won't think about letting it go."
Li Yeming nodded hurriedly: "Don't worry, it won't, it won't affect you."
Although Li Yeming meant that he wouldn't be affected, Ye Qing didn't dare to relax, since the timing of Jiang Xinya's meeting with Li Yeming was too suspicious.
If, as Li Yeming said, some of the things Jiang Xinya mentioned were related to Li Yeming's deceased parents, then why didn't Jiang Xinya say anything before, but only told Li Yeming this time after she returned?
And Yang Zi is also among them.
Ye Qing realized that she was destined to worry, and couldn't stop worrying at all.
As Ye Qing left Li Yeming's office, she saw Xi Yue standing there, peeking out. Ye Qing slowly walked over and asked Xi Yue, "What are you looking at?"
"Did you ask Li Yeming? What exactly happened?" Xi Yue asked Ye Qing.
Ye Qing paused for a moment and then said, "Li Yeming didn't say."
Upon hearing Ye Qing's words, Xi Yue blinked and looked thoughtful: "It's really strange, why does Li Yeming listen to Jiang Xinya so much?"
Even Xi Yue could tell that something was amiss, so how could Ye Qing feel at ease?
Seeing how concerned Xi Yue was about this matter, Ye Qing thought for a moment and asked, "Have you been coming to the studio often lately?"
Xi Yue nodded.
Ye Qing asked her, "Then you should observe Sister Li regularly and see what's going on between her and Jiang Xinya."
Xi Yue gave Ye Qing an OK sign.
Recently, Xi Yue has been very focused on her work, but she has been too lax for too long. Although she is not tired of working, she hasn't gone shopping in a long time, unlike before when she would often go shopping whenever she had free time. Today, she happened to be free and Ye Qing was also there, so Xi Yue said to Ye Qing, "Let's go shopping together."
Ye Qing had nothing to do at home and wasn't averse to shopping, but because she was in the later stages of her pregnancy, walking for long periods was tiring. So, Ye Qing was actually a little uninterested in Xi Yue's suggestion to go shopping. However, Xi Yue seemed very interested in shopping and looked at Ye Qing expectantly.
Considering that Xi Yue was Xi Quan's cousin after all, and that Xi Yue had changed a lot recently, Ye Qing couldn't always judge people with the same old perspective. So, under Xi Yue's expectant gaze, Ye Qing reluctantly agreed.
The two didn't go anywhere else, but went to the newly opened shopping mall, where Ye Qing's studio's flagship clothing store was located.
Ye Qing thought it would be a good opportunity to check on how business was at the store, so she agreed to Xi Yue's suggestion to go there.
It wasn't the weekend, so it's normal that there weren't many people in the mall. Besides, this shopping plaza has been open for a while now, and some of the opening ceremony activities have ended, so it's normal that there are fewer people than when it first opened.
However, when Ye Qing and Xi Yue arrived, there were quite a few people, especially at Ye Qing Studio's flagship store for ready-made clothing.
During the conversation, I learned that many of them had come after seeing Jiang Xinya's magazine.
The clothes in the store did not disappoint when I arrived, and several customers have become repeat customers.
When the store opened, some of the clothes weren't exactly new, so in order to attract customers, they quickly introduced a batch of new styles, and those returning customers came to buy the new styles.
Although working with Jiang Xinya on the cover shoot was a bit tiring, the current result makes Ye Qing feel that all the stress was worth it.
Xi Yue also took a liking to several styles, so she bought a lot of them together.
Afterwards, Xi Yue left the things she had bought at Ye Qing's shop and took Ye Qing to afternoon tea.
Ye Qing was also a little hungry, so she didn't refuse and found a cake shop that looked pretty good with Xi Yue.
Not long after they ordered their food and drinks, before all the items had been served, they saw two familiar figures outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant.
Since Ye Qing already knew, she wasn't too surprised. But Xi Yue was extremely astonished when she saw it. After confirming that she was right, Xi Yue covered her mouth, leaned on the table, and asked Ye Qing, "Those are Yang Zi and Su Zhe, right?"
Ye Qing turned her gaze away from Yang Zi and Su Zhe not far away and nodded: "It's the two of them."
"How did they get together?" Xi Yue was still a little confused, wondering what was going on.
"Who knows?" Ye Qing shrugged; in fact, she really didn't know.
Ye Shuang had previously mentioned seeing Yang Zi and Su Zhe having dinner or coffee together, and Ye Qing didn't disbelieve her. However, she was surprised that Yang Zi and Su Zhe were meeting so frequently, considering that it hadn't been long since Ye Shuang had mentioned it to her—less than a week.
Although Xi Yue was very curious, considering that Jiang Xinya had recently been able to boss Li Yeming around, and that Yang Zi and Su Zhe had become close, it didn't seem so surprising anymore.
They were all surprised and had their own thoughts, but no one said anything further, since they didn't know how to continue the conversation.
Just as the two were silent, Yang Zi and Su Zhe separated. Yang Zi left directly, while Su Zhe came over. Coincidentally, Su Zhe's eyes met those of Xi Yue and Ye Qing as he stood outside.
