Jing Bo Yuan and Ye Qing Xin return to the mansion. Four elders are not home.

Since Gu Qiao is conscious and realizes that she only has one foot left, her emotion is unstable. Old Madame Yan and Old Mister Yan worry about her. They take care of her at the hospital. Now Gu Qiao has moved to the VIP room. Both elders of Yan family are sleeping on the bed so they are okay.

Both Elders of Sheng family also return back to their home, they said to her that they will move back to Nan Shan mansion after several days. As for the reason of their moving back, Ye Qing Xin also can guess about it.

Yesterday Ji Yi’s words toward them, both elders are considering it. The reason of their decision of going home is somehow related to Sheng Wen Qiong.

But she doesn’t know the specific reason, she can only guess it.

After the dinner.

Jing Bo Yuan hugs Ye Qing Xin’s waist and go upstair. Ye Qing Xin is startled when Jing Bo Yuan takes her to the left side rather to the right side, where their bedroom is.

“Where are we going?”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t answer and takes her to the study room. The study room is not redecorated. It still looks like before.

Jing Bo Yuan opens his cupboard and takes out his wallet. Then he passes it to her.

Ye Qing Xin takes it and asks: “What is this?”

Jing Bo Yuan: “Here are several cards that I have. Every month each cards will be filled with money. I give it to you so in the future you can take care of it.”

Ye Qing Xin opens the zipper and looks at the card.

“Why do you have so many cards?” She is dumbstruck.

Jing Bo Yuan strokes her head and says: “I still have several cards on my wallet, usually I use it to work, so temporarily I’ll just keep it with me.”

Ye Qing Xin: “….”

“I am not good with financial matter, it’s better for you to handle it…..” She closes the wallet and gives back the cards to Jing Bo Yuan.

She doesn’t decline because she is polite but she feels pressured to handle that kind of money. She is not an expert like Jing Bo Yuan so it’s better for him to handle it. She is not good at investing, she only can put the money on the bank and get interest from it.

Jing Bo Yuan just holds her hand, he says: “You don’t need to understand about financial matter, you just need to spend it.”

Ye Qing Xin just looks at him. She is amazed with his words. Not many men are willing to say those words to their women.

Ye Qing Xin smiles and says to him: “You give me these much money, aren’t you afraid that I will abscond with funds?”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles and raises up her chin: “I am here, where will you flee?”

He kisses her lips.

They kiss for a while.

“Mr Jing is really confident with himself.”

Jing Bo Yuan kisses her lips lightly and says: “I believe on my own taste.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles and hugs him. “Congrats, Mr Jing. Your taste is really great.”

After the shower, like usual Ye Qing Xin lays down on Jing Bo Yuan’s embrace. Then she starts to explore his body.

Jing Bo Yuan holds her hand.

She notices his resistance and looks at his eyes: “Why?”

They seem… em. It’s been a long time.

“You don’t want it?”

The light is off.

Jing Bo Yuan just kisses her forehead and says: “let’s sleep.”

Ye Qing Xin says: “I can do it.”

During a woman’s pregnancy, it’s a most probable time for man to have an affair. Ye Qing Xin knows that Jing Bo Yuan is not that kind of man, but she doesn’t want to let him suffer.

Jing Bo Yuan sighs and hugs her. “Let’s sleep. You need to go to class tomorrow.”

Ye Qing Xin is somewhat unhappy and says: “Tell me stories.”

Jing Bo Yuan: “……..”

Two days later

Wednesday 03:00 p.m. Professor Wu is teaching on the stage while at the same time his saliva is splattering everywhere. Suddenly, Ye Qing Xin’s phone rings loudly.

At once, Professor Wu stops talking, everyone is looking at her.

Ye Qing Xin wants to hang it up, but she looks at the screen. It’s a call from Ye Qing Guo’s homeroom teacher. There’s only five minutes before the class ends. She hangs it up. She stands up and apologizes toward Professor Wu. She forgot to silent her phone.

Professor Wu looks her with his stern gaze, he says calmly: “Later on after the class come to my office.”

Everyone gasps.

It’s scary to be called by Professor Wu to his office. It’s really more terrifying that being scolded during high school.

Ye Qing Xin sits down, Jing Suo Suo moves closer toward her; “Xin Xin, I sympathize with you.”

Dou Weir also moves closer: “I also feel sympathy toward you.”

Ye Qing Xin: “…….”

After the class, Professor Wu tidies up his paper and looks at ye Qing Xin.

Ye Qing Xin notices it and follows her.

Ye Qing Guo’s homeroom teacher will not call her if something is not urgent. She follows Professor Wu while maintains several distance between them. She calls back Ye Qing Guo’s homeroom teacher.

It is answered. Ye Qing Xin hasn’t said nothing and she just hears an emotional voice of a boy: “Ye Qing Guo’s Jie Jie, Ye Qing Guo’s performance for the foundation will be held this Saturday at Dong Cheng area’s cultural center. It will start at 03:00 p.m. Don’t forget to come. Later on I will send you the electronic ticket. That time you can just show it.”

Ye Qing Xin: “okay, thank you.”

“No need to be polite. Oh right, that day there might be reporters that want to interview Ye Qing Guo’s family member, they will ask about how you take care of Ye Qing Guo. I will also send you the question, please take a look at it….”

Ye Qing Xin ends the call. Very quickly she receives the friend invitation and gets the ticket and list of questions.

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t read it that time because she reaches Professor Wu’s office.

Professor Wu is B university senior professor, he has his own office.

He pours a glass of hot water for Ye Qing Xin. Ye Qing Xin is somewhat overwhelmed by his unexpected action. Professor Wu is known for strict actions. He never acts politely toward his students.

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t show her surprise, she just takes it politely.

Professor Wu points at the chair and asks her to sit down: “Sit down.”

“Thank you.” Ye Qing Xin sits down. From her observation, she feels that he doesn’t call her to his office to scold her.

Professor Wu drinks his tea to wet his throat and says: “Recently are your family well?”

She feels that Professor Wu wants to say something.

She thinks about it and says: “They are well. Professor Wu, if you have something to say, then just say it directly.”

Professor Wu blushes but he quickly regains his calm self. “It’s not a big thing, it’s just this September it will be hundred anniversary of our university, you should know it. The university wants to invite several successful alumnus to come and do speech. Jing Bo Yuan is one of our most successful students, it’s just…….”

He pauses for two seconds and continues: “The university has sent the invitation to Jing Bo Yuan but there’s no reply. You are his niece, please help the university to ask you Shu Shu if he has time during the university’s anniversary. So we can be better prepared.

“You are already here for three years. You are also educated here. You should know that we really try our best to educate people. You should not let down the university’s hope for you.”

Professor Wu means that the university wants to invite your Shu Shu, your Shu Shu seems to be unwilling so go home and persuade him.

But…..

“Professor Wu, Jing Bo Yuan is not my Shu Shu, how can you think that he is my Shu Shu?”

Sometimes Ye Qing Xin jokes around and calls Jing Bo Yuan Shu Shu, but she never leaks to anyone about it.

How can Professor Wu know about it?’

Professor Wu is somewhat unhappy and looks at her: “Last year before the course started, you had a fight with your family, you didn’t come home, you didn’t come to school, you also didn’t answer a call from your home. Jing Bo Yuan called me and told me to call you back to the university. He said by himself that he is your Shu Shu, can it be a lie?”

“Though Jing Bo Yuan is not my student but I know him very clearly, he is not a liar.”

Ye Qing Xin is shocked.

She had a fight with her family?

Last year she was called by Professor Wu to return to the university.

Ye Qing Xin remembers that it only happened once.

It’s during Tai Shi Yun’s birthday feast, Chen Shu An saved her from the hot soup. She went to the hospital to visit him, yet he confessed his love toward her at the small public garden. The time she was prepared to reject her, she got a call from Professor Wu about the research. He asked her to go back to the university.

Then she just realized it’s not about her research report.

That time Professor Wu was okay and didn’t look surprised. He said several strange words like she should call home. Ye Qing Xin doesn’t really remember it clearly.

Could it be that time, it’s Jing Bo Yuan’s action behind her back?

That time she and Jing Bo Yuan were not really close. She acted politely toward him and called him as “Jing Zong (Chief Jing)”.

“Ye Qing Xin, for this matter, please mention it to your Shu Shu…”

Ye Qing Xin regains herself and answers: “I get it. Tonight if I meet him, I will tell him about this.”

“Okay, then tomorrow I’ll wait for the answer.”

Ye Qing Xin goes out of Professor Wu’s office. She keeps on thinking. That time Jing Bo Yuan was lying, was it because Chen Shu An’s confession toward her?

But…. how can Jing Bo Yuan know about it?

He….. started to be concerned about her. Did he start to be jealous since that time?

It’s a guess but it makes Ye Qing Xin’s happy.
