After five minutes, the car stops in front of the department store.

Tonight Jing Si and her whole family will also come. Ye Qing Xin holds Jing Bo Yuan’s arm and strolls around three floors. She buys a Burberry scarf for Old Madame JIng. She buys perfumes for Ji Yi and Jing Si. It’s not really cheap but the smell is different and elegant. Ye Qing Xin used to smell the elegant yet light smell of perfume on their body.

She buys Chanel lipsticks for Jing Fen Fen and Jing Xian Xian. It’s in the same price but the color is different. Every time Ye Qing Xin meets them, they will have make up on.

As for Old Mister Jing, Jing Zong, Jing Yan, Jing Bo Yuan says that they like to drink so Ye Qing Xin buys Remy Martin cognac for each one of them. One bottle costs around three thousands. When she wants to pay, she remembers Ye Jun Dong so she takes another bottle.

At last she buys gift for Jing Suo Suo and Ye Lin. She buys two plastic bags of snacks and she also buys durian for Old Madame Jing.

When Ye Qing Xin buys things, Jing Bo Yuan keeps on standing by her side quietly. He only speaks up when she is hesitating and asking for his opinion.

When she is done, Jing Bo Yuan brings everything for her.

When they pass a jewelry store, Ye Qing Xin notices a pearl necklace. She suddenly thinks that necklace is really suitable for He Shu E.

She turns her head and asks Jing Bo Yuan: “Tonight will our Ma come over to have dinner?”

She knows that He Shu E and Jing Zong are not yet divorced but she also knows that He Shu E doesn’t live in Jing family house. They both are living separately.

It’s just sometimes if something big happens at Jing family, He Shu E will come too. Today is the first day Old Madame Jing is out of hospital. The family will gather to dine, He Shu E will probably come too.

Ye Qing Xin’s words of “our Ma” makes Jing Bo Yuan startles. He looks at her and says nothing.

Ye Qing Xin knows his feeling toward her mother so she doesn’t ask anymore. She just asks Jing Bo Yuan about the necklace: “What do you think of this necklace? I have no knowledge of buying pearl, I don’t know whether it’s authentic or not.”

The sales girl notices Ye Qing Xin’s interest on buying. She comes over and explains to her. She smiles: “Tai Tai, don’t worry. Our company is only selling the authentic one at fair price. No need to worry. Let me take it out for you to try.”

Then the sales girl takes it out. Before it she wears white gloves first.

Ye Qing Xin looks at it and asks Jing Bo Yuan: “I think it’s very beautiful, what do you think?”

Jing Bo Yuan is silent.

Ye Qing Xin just thinks that he agrees. She turns her head and looks at the sales girl: “Just this one.”

Jing Bo Yuan just watches her.

The time they arrive at the Jing family residence, it’s already five o’clock.

Ye Qing Xin starts to give the gift that she bought to everyone. She gives it based on seniority. She gives to Old Madame Jing fist then He Shu E.

The time she gives it to Old Madame Jing, Ye Qing Xin just says: “This is for you.” But she doesn’t say who bought it.

The time she gives it to He Shu E. She smiles: “Ma, Bo Yuan especially chose this one for you. I hope that you will like it.”

He Shu E doesn’t warm up, she just looks at Ye Qing Xin and takes it: “Thank you.”

Her voice is not cold. She looks at Ye Qing Xin then Jing Bo Yuan.

Jing Bo Yuan takes off his coat. He wears a black sweater with grey shirt inside it.

He watches Ye Qing Xin and notices He Shu E’s glance on him. He raises his head to see her. It’s only a second and he shifts his gaze.

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t notice it, she just passes the next gifts to Jing Si and JI Yi.

Ji Yi likes it so much but Jing Si just thanks her coldly. Jing Si puts it on the coffee table.

Ye Qing Xin knows that Jing Si doesn’t really like her. She doesn’t say anything and just smiles.

Old Madame Jing is not really happy for her attitude. She says: “What is it about your attitude? You are old enough to think, how can you be so impolite? You are insensible compare to Xin Xin.”

Jing Si’s face turns cold: “What happened to me?”

“Look at your face, it’s like a donkey face. You still asked me about what happened to you.” Now Ye Qing Xin is Old Madame Jing’s favorite person. How can she endure if someone treats her wrongly.

“Ma, don’t be so close-minded. I did nothing and you scold me for your granddaughter-in-law. I am her senior, should I try to curry her favor?”

“You…” Old Madame Jing is angry.

Ye Qing Xin pats Old Madame Jing’s back and comforts: “Nai Nai you just got discharged. Don’t be angry with Gu Gu. Gu Gu is very tired and suffered during work. As her family members, we should be considerate.”

Old Madame Jing smiles toward Ye Qing Xin and says to Jing Si: “Look at our Xin Xin, then look at yourself!” She says it and looks at Jing Si with despiteful gaze.

Jing Si turns nut.

Ye Qing Xin is her ex-husband’s wife’s daughter. Every time she looks at Ye Qing Xin, she will remember that her husband used to share bed with another woman, how can she look at her with happy face.

A woman’s heart is full of jealousy regardless of her age.

If she doesn’t care about Ye Jun Dong’s face, she will definitely tell Old Madame Jing that Ye Qing Xin is Zhou Qiao Qiao’s illegitimate kid with another man. She really wants to see whether Old Madame Jing will still like Ye Qing Xin.

Ye Jun Dong just told Jing Si that Ye Qing Xin is not his biological daughter so JIng Si thinks that Ye Qing Xin should be a result of Zhou Qiao Qiao’s ex-marital affair. She also thinks this is Ye Jun Dong’s reason to get divorce with Zhou Qiao Qiao.

Except Jing Si, everyone is happy to get gift from Ye Qing Xin.

Jing Suo Suo and Ye Lin are sitting down on the sofa and divides the snacks. Old Mister Jing asks Jing Zong to go to study room to learn how to play chess. Jing Bo Yuan and Jing Yan and Ye Jun Dong are chatting in the small living room. Ji Yi goes to the kitchen to help Zhang Luo. Jing Si doesn’t want to stay any longer near Ye Qing Xin, so she goes to hide away.

There’re only few people staying in the living room to chat.

There’s a lot of foods today, the chefs are busy and need more time to prepare. Old Madame Jing asks the maid to prepare a bit snacks for Ye Qing Xin. She doesn’t want to let her beloved grand grandsons to be hungry.

“No need Nai Nai.” Ye Qing Xin says: “I am not hungry yet…”

Old Madame Jing smiles and strokes her belly. “You are not hungry, but they should be hungry. Now you have three babies. You need more nutritions and food in-take than ordinary pregnant woman. Don’t feel embarrassed to eat first than anyone. It’s okay, we are family.”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t say anything else.

Very quickly the maid comes over with a small bowl of bird nest soup.

Old Madame Jing takes it and blows it to make cold. Then she passes it to Ye Qing Xin and smiles: “Xin Xin, drink this. It’s warm.”

Ye Qing Xin is happy to be cared off. Ten years ago, her Wai Po also took a good care of her. She even still can remember the way her Wai Po always prepared food for her. It’s full of love.

She doesn’t refuse and takes it: “Thank you Nai Nai.”

Old Madame Jing smiles: “Good kid, hurry up.”

Jin Fen Fen turns her head and looks at the inside of the bowl. She is surprised: “Nai Nai, you cook the blood bird nest that Er Shu bought from Roland? Nai Nai, you are so partial, I used to ask for it, but you cherished it too much.”

Blood bird nest is not only full of nutritions but it’s rare. Ninety nine percent of blood bird nest that is sold in the market is fake. The one that Old Madame Jing has is from Jing Yi. Once he had a duty at Roland so he brought some for Old Madame Jing that one should be authentic.

Ye Qing Xin looks at the bowl. She is not sure whether she should drink it or not.

Old Madame Jing glares at Jing Fen Fen. “If you are married and pregnant, then I will give it to you. Who ask you to not yet married even though you are twenty nine years old. You have no boyfriend and not yet married, you want to drink blood bird nest, dream on!” She turns her head to look at Ye Qing Xin: “Hurry up drink.”

Jing Fen Fen pouts: “I also want to marry but that man doesn’t happy to marry me, what can I do?”

The time Old Madame Jing hears it, she says: “Is there only Xiao Yu as a man in this world? You cannot marry anyone else in this lifetime?”

“Except him, I will not marry anyone else.” Jing Fen Fen is stubborn.

Old Madame Jing glares at her. Then she waves her hand: “let it be, let it be. You can do anything you want. I will not mind you. In the future, I will just wait happily for the birth of my grand grandson.”

Ji Yi comes out of the kitchen and hears Jing Fen Fen’s words. She frowns and comes over. She says: “I have found several good men, Fen Fen, Xian Xian, tomorrow go to blind date.”

Jing Xian Xian feels that she get unjustly attacked. “Ma, Nai Nai is talking about Da Jie, why should you implicate me?”

Ji Yi says: “Don’t think that I don’t know what are you thinking, he is married.”

Jing Xian Xian is startled and be silent.

Ye Qing Xin is sensitive person, she could notice Jing Xian Xian’s current feeling. Though she doesn’t know who is “he”. But she could guess that it should be Jing Xian Xian’s crush that she cannot get.

Don’t know why, but she suddenly really misses Jing Bo Yuan.

She could get the man that she loves. She feels so lucky.

“Nai Nai, I’ll go look for Bo Yuan.” She says to Old Madame Jing then stands up to walk to the small living room.

The small living room’s door is not closed. Ye Qing Xin could hear men’s voices. They are talking about the current economic situation. Ye Qing Xin cannot really understand it and doesn’t feel interested of it. She just tries to enjoy Jing Bo Yuan’s voice

She doesn’t get in and just leans on the wall near the door. She hears Jing Bo Yuan’s explanation. She closes her eyes and her heart feels so peaceful.

“Shao Fu Ren. (Madame)” A maid passes by and greets her.

Ye Qing Xin opens her eyes and smiles at her.

In the next moment.

Jing Bo Yuan comes out of the small living room and notices that Ye Qing Xin is leaning on the wall. He hugs her: “Why aren’t you coming inside?”

Ye Qing Xin hugs him back. “I don’t want to disturb your chat.”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles: “You are afraid to disturb us, so why are you coming here.”

Ye Qing Xin pokes his chest: “I suddenly miss you so I come over. I don’t think too much when I come here.”

Jing Bo Yuan just hugs her. After a while, he lets her go and holds her hand to get inside. He lets her to sit down beside him.

Jing Yan looks at both of them and his eyes show his intention to joke abut it.

Ye Jun Dong looks a bit complicated.

Ye Qing Xin sits down quietly and let three men continue their chat. She feels it uninteresting.

After quite some time, the maid calls them to have dinner.

There’s a big round table on the dining room. Ye Qing Xin sits down beside Jing Bo Yuan.

Ye Lin eats a lot of snacks and he doesn’t want to eat again. Jing Si scolds him publicly: “Who told you to eat those junk food?”

Those snacks are bought by Ye Qing Xin, her words clearly intends to hurt Ye Qing Xin.

Ye Qing Xin smiles and pretends not to hear it.

Old Madame Jing is angry. But Jing Suo Suo speaks up first. “Gu Gu, you are too unreasonable. You think that is junk food, why didn’t you stop him when he was eating? You just said it when he is done with it, don’t you think it’s a bit late?”

Though Jing Suo Suo doesn’t know what happened between Jing Si and Ye Qing Xin, but she knows that Jing Si doesn’t really like Ye Qing Xin.

She thinks about it and asks directly: “Gu Gu, are you purposely having some sort of opinion toward Ye Qing Xin? Has Xin Xin offend you?”
