Ye Qing's head was almost touching the pillow when she heard Xi Quan's words and slowly sat up again. "How novel! I'm a designer. What's wrong with the clothes he's wearing being my design?"
He had already explained, but Ye Qing still didn't understand what made him angry, which made Xi Quan very frustrated. "You are a designer, that's true, but you mainly design women's clothing. It's rare for you to design men's clothing. If the men's clothing you designed were to be sold, that would be one thing. But Chu Xun actually got his hands on the one-of-a-kind men's clothing set in the world and even wore it to a banquet."
Isn't that infuriating?!
However, Xi Quan didn't dare say this to Ye Qing in front of her, and could only silently complain in his heart.
However, Ye Qing didn't care much about whether Xi Quan had finished speaking or whether he was complaining in his heart, because after listening to what Xi Quan had said earlier, Ye Qing finally understood why Xi Quan was angry.
Knowing why he was angry, Ye Qing looked at Xi Quan's aggrieved expression and couldn't help but smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Xi Quan felt very uncomfortable being laughed at by Ye Qing. He stammered a question and then looked away. Although he was embarrassed by being laughed at, he still couldn't help but explain himself: "I'm not jealous. I just feel that Chu Xun is not the kind of person who can wear the unique clothes you designed. If he were a model, it would be fine, but he is not."
Ye Qing had been trying to suppress his laughter, but after hearing Xi Quan's explanation, he couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing, because Xi Quan's words were clearly a case of protesting too much.
If you're jealous, just be jealous. Why make an unnecessary explanation? You might as well not say anything at all.
"Did I say something wrong?" Xi Quan knew it was best to say less at this time, but seeing Ye Qing laughing and the only sound in the silence, Xi Quan felt increasingly awkward and couldn't help but ask this question.
Ye Qing shook her head as she tried to suppress her laughter.
Xi Quan didn't actually say anything wrong. Ye Qing was quite pleased with his jealous expression. Looking at him, she felt that although Xi Quan was getting older, he seemed to be becoming more and more childish.
But this kind of childishness doesn't seem so repulsive.
After suppressing his laughter, Ye Qing explained, "I told you before, you should know why I designed that outfit. It wasn't because of my inspiration, but because it was an assignment. In order to cooperate with Chu Xun, I had no reason to refuse. Moreover, Chu Xun's original requirements, besides designing such an outfit, also included that if he was satisfied with the design, he wanted it to be made into a finished garment. I had no reason to refuse."
Although Ye Qing explained, Xi Quan still felt a little uncomfortable. Just as he said, Ye Qing rarely designs menswear. If he designed it and let a model show it, that would be fine, but now Chu Xun is wearing it, and it's unique. Xi Quan always felt a little unbalanced.
However, according to Ye Qing's explanation, Xi Quan also knew that if he continued to hold onto this issue, he would be being too petty.
Although unwilling to admit it, Xi Quan knew that he had started to be petty ever since he saw Chu Xun's clothes at the banquet that night.
Now that things are out in the open, especially in front of Ye Qing, Xi Quan felt that saving face was no big deal. He had been concerned about saving face at the banquet and after leaving with Ye Qing, but he couldn't be sure if Ye Qing was upset about the cold war they had been having. In any case, Xi Quan knew very well that he was feeling terrible inside, and all his indifference was just a cover-up.
Fortunately, Xi Quan no longer concealed his true nature. After listening to Ye Qing's explanation, he muttered, "You only mentioned designing clothes before, but you didn't say that you would only make one and return it to Chu Xun after the design was completed."
Ye Qing was speechless: "I didn't say that the clothes were for Chu Xun, but this is someone else's assignment. Isn't it normal to give them to him? At this moment, I am just a tailor. A customer comes to me and tells me roughly what kind of clothes he wants. I make them, the customer is satisfied, and the customer is happy to wear the clothes I made. Isn't this a win-win situation?"
It was indeed a win-win situation. Actually, if Chu Xun hadn't worn those clothes, Xi Quan might have been a little unhappy, but he wouldn't have been so unreasonable.
Just as women are sensitive when looking at other women, men are also sensitive when looking at other men.
Xi Quan was unhappy because he was bothered by the admiration and affection in Chu Xun's gaze towards Ye Qing.
This is the root of all the discomfort Xi Quan felt.
However, judging from Ye Qing's attitude, she seemed unaware of Chu Xun's thoughts. Since Ye Qing didn't know yet, Xi Quan naturally wouldn't reveal it.
The thought of Ye Qing potentially collaborating with Chu Xun in the future made Xi Quan feel restless and uneasy, as if his heart, liver, spleen, stomach, and kidneys were all uncomfortable.
Seeing Xi Quan's aggrieved look, Ye Qing couldn't help but hug him: "You're so petty. You've already had three children with me, what else do you have to worry about?"
If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't be worried, but now they're facing Ye Qing.
To paraphrase Ye Qing's words of comfort to Xi Quan, she's already a mother of three, yet she's still so attractive; how could Xi Quan not worry?
Worried but unable to let Ye Qing stay at home as a full-time housewife, Xi Quan said, "Then try to have less contact with Chu Xun in the future."
After saying that, seeing the "why" look in Ye Qing's eyes, Xi Quan spoke up before Ye Qing could ask him why: "Anyway, I just don't like that guy named Chu Xun."
Xi Quan's words were incredibly naive, a far cry from his authoritative and uncompromising image within the company.
Although Ye Qing didn't quite understand, she found Xi Quan's behavior endearing.
She thought that maybe Xi Quan and Chu Xun had some kind of grudge. Regardless of whether there was or not, it was a fact that Xi Quan was jealous. At this moment, Ye Qing wouldn't be foolish enough to ask Xi Quan why he didn't like Chu Xun.
Although Ye Qing was indeed angry before, they have now talked it out, and being angry with Xi Quan wasn't a matter of principle. Besides, Ye Qing isn't the kind of person who holds grudges, so this matter is considered closed.
Seeing that Xi Quan still looked aggrieved, Ye Qing felt it was necessary to comfort him, so she kissed him.
Who knew that Xi Quan would take such a big step!
The next morning, seeing Xi Quan looking refreshed, Ye Qing was so angry she wanted to punch the bed. After glaring fiercely at Xi Quan, Ye Qing turned her back to him and ignored him.
After Xi Quan left, Ye Qing was torn about whether to catch up on sleep, but then she felt that she was being too comfortable and had become somewhat decadent, even starting to slack off and sleep in late, not wanting to go to work.
She felt this wouldn't do, so she forced herself to get up. Just as she finished getting ready and was about to leave, the phone rang. Ye Qing glanced at the time and wondered who it could be so early in the morning.
