Chapter 311

The time flies so fast, now it’s July.

It’s approaching the estimated due date, Ye Qing Xin’s belly is getting bigger that it attracts a lot of attention. But it’s great that she can control her morning sickness. Every day morning and night she also insists on going for a walk. So except for her belly, she is still slender and thin.

Every time she goes for a run, Jing Bo Yuan always accompanies her.

Old Madame Jing, Old Madame Yan, and Old Madame Sheng once again gather at Nan Shan mansion. Every day three elders look at Ye Qing Xin’s belly. They are obsessed with it because they are expecting to feel three kids’ kick.

Every time the babies do that, Ye Qing Xin feels pain but she is happy.

Jing Bo Yuan also goes home early from work every day. Every weekend he doesn’t go out.

Ye Qing Guo stays in Nan Shan mansion for several days. Jing Bo Yuan sees that Ye Qing Guo always barges suddenly when he is playing. For avoiding, he bumps Ye Qing Xin accidentally, he takes him back to his school.

This afternoon, Dou Weir comes over to Nan Shan mansion with several fruits. She also buys several clothes for Ye Qing Xin’s babies.

It’s been quite some time since they met so they are happy to chat.

“Tomorrow I’ll go to Mongolia with group of photographers. I’ll be back after ten to fifteen days.” Dou Weir strokes Ye Qing Xin’s belly.

“What will you do there?”

“I am joining model’s reality show program.”

Ye Qing Xin has heard about it.

“Is Isla one of the judge?”

Dou Weir nods: “You know about this program?”

Ye Qing Xin never really watches it but she says nothing, she just nods.

“I remember that when we joined Jing Yan’s group fashion designer competition, Isla walked with your designed cloth and fell down during the show. Do you still remember about it?”

Ye Qing Xin: “I remember it. But she regained herself quickly?”

“Isla has a good progress abroad, why did she suddenly go back?”

Ye Qing Xin pretends to not about it, she shakes her head.

“Previously Isla’s assistant was drunk. I heard her accidentally that Isla is back for a man. Isla married a French man and has kids. She divorced him a year ago. But I don’t know why, now she is getting ready to reconcile with her husband.”

Reconcile?

“Are you sure?”

“She is the one that reconcile, why are you so happy? It’s for real, Isla’s assistant said that her ex-husband is here with the kids. I met him, he is so handsome. I somehow feel that he looks like your Big boss Jing.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Really? What a coincidence.”

“Let’s stop talking about her? Tell me about your handsome Xiao Di Di.” Dou Weir shifts the conversation. “I’ve read a lot of news about >, your Di Di is so popular. Have you prepared to let him enter the entertainment industry later on? That time I already said it’s a pity if he doesn’t enter because he has a handsome face. The reality proves that I’m not wrong. During the final celebration for finishing the shooting, a lot of his fans are coming to support him and bring bouquets of flowers....”

“Really?”

“Of course, have you ever read the comment? A lot of women want to marry your Di Di.”

Ye Qing Xin disapproves: “They are just talking. Supposedly no one is willing to marry him.”

“Why are you look so serious? I just want to tell you, that your Di Di is very likable. I don’t mean it to let him marry.” Dou Weir says it and turns startled. She looks at Ye Qing Xin. “You plan to let him marry?”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t hide it, she says honestly: “If he can encounter a good girl, I will not oppose it.”

Dou Weir feels that Ye Qing xin is crazy, what kind of person Ye Qing Guo is? He is retarded, though he is handsome and attractive but it’s hard to find someone that is bold and brave to marry that kind of man.

Around four o’clock, Dou Weir mentions to take her leave. Ye Qing Xin asks her to stay for dinner but Dou Weir says that she has appointment with friends so Ye Qing Xin doesn’t force her.

Dou Weir says goodbye to three elders and leaves with his car.

During this summer vacation time to travel easier and convenient, she rents a car.

Three elders are cooling off in the shade in the garden, Ye Qing Xin goes to sit down with them after she sent Dou Weir off.

Three periods forming the hottest periods of summer from mid-July to mid-August, the wind is so hot. Though it’s more convenient to stay inside the AC room, but it still better to take some time to breath the fresh air.

Old Madame Jing asks Ye Qing Xin with great interest: “Your friend is so beautiful, she has a boyfriend yet?”

“No yet, Nai Nai wants to introduce one for her?”

“Your Cheng Nai Nai’s Xiao Yu is single right. Our Fen Fen keeps on longing for him. She isn’t willing to go to blind date. She will be thirty soon. I’m worired about her. I think if Xiao Yu marries sooner, it’ll break Fen Fen’s hope sooner.”

“Ay... my several Sun Zi Sun Nu (grandkids), really make me worried.”

Old Madame Jing sighs heavily, then speaks again: “Later on mentions Xiao Yu to her. If she is willing, I’ll talk to Cheng Nai Nai. Cheng Nai Nai is also worried about this.”

Ye Qing Xin remembers that Jing Suo Suo likes Xiao Yu, she smiles and says: “Dou Weir will go to Mongolia to attend a competition tomorrow. I’ll tell her later on.”

“Go to Mongolia? For what kind of competition?”

“Weir is a model.” Ye Qing Xin says honestly.

“Model?” Old Madame Jing frowns: “That kind of profession is not really good, it shows your face in public for whole day...”

The elder’s thought is a bit conservative.

Old Madame Yan is much more open-minded. She says: “What’s wrong of being a model. Xiao Jia’s Lian Lian is also a model. I remember that Lin Yuan’s wife was a model too.”

“That’s not the same. Lian Lian and Xiao Yu are coming from a good family, they have background to support them. Those people aren’t dare to do anything bad to her. An ordinary woman might not be lucky. Xin Xin, how is your friend’s family condition?”

“Her family is not really great.” Ye Qing Xin says honestly. “But Dou Weir is really smart, she can differentiate what can she do and not.”

Old Madame Jing says nothing else, she just turns silent for a while. “I’ll talk with your Cheng Nai Nai first. Let’s see what she thinks about it. Then you mention this to your friend.”

Ye Qing Xin tries to ask: “Actually... you don’t need to introduce a stranger to Cheng Yi Sheng, our Suo Suo is also a single woman....”

“It won’t do.” Old Madame Jing disapproves, “If we introduce Suo Suo to Xiao Yu, Fen Fen will make trouble.”

Ye qing Xin just shuts up.

05:40 p.m. Jing Bo Yuan arrives home.

In the evening, it’s a bit hot and stuffy. Ye Qing Xin is outside and going for a walk around the garden. She is sweaty.

Jing Bo Yuan gets off the car and walks toward her side. He takes out his handkerchief and wipes her sweat from her face.

Ye Qing Xin smiles.

“Every day you go home this early, you hand over all the things to your subordinates, those subordinates are working over time every day?”

“Our company doesn’t raise an idle person.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles and suddenly thinks what Old Madame Jing said to her. She asks: “Nai Nai wants to introduce Weir to Cheng Yi Sheng, she wishes that he can marry sooner to let Fen Fen Jie stops longing for him. But Weir and He Ji Fan.... you know about it right. What do you think if we introduce Suo Suo to Cheng Yi Sheng?”

Jing Bo Yuan looks at her: “Not really.”

“You are worried that Fen Fen Jie will make fuss about it?”

“Fen Fen likes Xiao Yu for so many years, if Suo Suo be with Xiao Yu. Both sisters will fight.”

“Will.... it be that serious?”

From Ye Qing Xin’s perspective, if she likes a man and that man doesn’t love her. Then it’s unrelated to her if he decides to be with another woman.

She thinks that way and says that to Jing Bo Yuan.

Jing Bo Yuan smiles and holds her hand. He explains: “Not everyone can be as mature as you.”

Ye Qing Xin thinks about it and feels that it is reasonable. She can think that way, other people might not.

The time she is considering it, one of the baby inside her belly kicks her with force. She screams in pain.

“What is it?” Jing Bo Yuan is nervous for her.

“It’s okay.” Ye Qing Xin bents her waist lightly. Jing Bo Yuan supports her.

“A baby kicked me.” She smiles.

“It’s very painful?” Jing Bo Yuan frowns.

Ye Qing Xin shakes her head.

It’s not really painful, but it’s not okay too.

The babies are growing, they have more strength now. Before their kicks were soft.

Auntie Zhang calls for them to have dinner. Ye Qing Xin eats a bit during dinner. Auntie Zhang prepares a midnight snack for her to enjoy before sleep tonight.

Because of her belly now, Ye Qing Xin has trouble to sleep. Sometimes she can’t sleep till late night.

Tonight it’s the same. She closes her eyes but her mind is still active. She wants to flip her body but she is helpless as her belly is so heavy. Every time she wants to flip her body, she feels so painful.

Jing Bo Yuan notices this and pats her back lightly. “You cannot sleep?”

Ye Qing Xin: “em. I want to hear you tell the story.”

Jing Bo Yuan is silent for a while and speaks up: “Once upon a time, there’s a little crocodile....”

“Sssshhh!” Ye Qing Xin suddenly takes a heavy breath.

The babies inside her belly start to be active, she doesn’t know whether it’s because they are excited to hear their papa’s story. The babies seem to be dancing and gesticulating for joy in her belly.

Jing Bo Yuan puts his hand on her belly and can feel their kicking.

Ye Qing Xin is in pain that she starts to have cold sweat. She clutches Jing Bo Yuan’s pajama sleeve.

“It’s too painful....”

Jing Bo Yuan covers Ye Qing Xin’s eyes and turns on the light.

After several second, he removes his hand from her eyes.

He lifts up her pajamas. The little brats are moving randomly. Jing Bo Yuan can see it clearly.

Ye Qing Xin is a bit worried: “Bao Bao Men suddenly are so agitated. Are they okay?”

An abnormal movement sometimes is sign for danger.

Jing Bo Yuan strokes her belly and says: “Behave well.”

He is serious and strict.

Ye Qing Xin suddenly laughs.

“Bo Yuan, are you ordering them? They are not born yet, how can they understand you...”

She hasn’t finished her words and Ye Qing Xin just opens her mouth with surprise. Her words are stuck.

Those little brats suddenly stops.

Jing Bo Yuan rewards them as he pats at Ye Qing Xin’s belly.

After a moment of silence, a little brat quietly kicks again.

Jing Bo Yuan touches the spot and says coldly: “You still move.”

Then it’s a silent.

Ye Qing Xin waits for a while and she doesn’t see all little brats kick her again. She is disbelieved. She looks at Jing Bo Yuan: “What did you do before? How can they obey you so much?”

Perhaps these unborn kids know that Jing Bo Yuan cannot be provoked?

“You also watched it, I just stroked your belly and said those two words to them.” Jing Bo Yuan covers her again with the blanket.

“Just like that?” Though she watched it, but it’s too unbelievable. The kids can know that they should not irritate their Papa.

Lao Da (The eldest) : “Papa’s story is too unpleasant to hear, I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear it.”

Lao San (The third): “What should we do to let Papa stop telling the story?”

Lao Da, Lao Er: “we should protest!”

During hands dance and feet trips....

Papa Jing: “Behave well!”

Lao Da, Lao Er, Lao San, pull back.

Lao Da: “Lao Er, Lao San, how can you guys be so terrified.”

Lao San: “If you aren’t, then move again.”

Lao Da extends his arm.

Papa Jing: “You still move.”

Lao Da removes his hand.

Lao Er: “Da Ge, aren’t you brave?”

Lao Da: “Mind your own business!
