Ye Qing Xin wakes up and notices the sky is dark. She sits up and scratches her head. She feels something is wrong. It turns out her ponytail is gone. She looks around and finds her rubber band on the bedside cupboard.

She remembers what happened before. She believes him. She thinks every woman that likes to check her man, it means that man doesn’t give that woman enough care and seriousness that let the woman feels insecure and doubtful.

Jing Bo Yuan gives Ye Qing Xin a serious sense of security.

Ye Qing Xin gets off her bed and goes to the restroom to freshen up. She tidies up her hair and goes downstair.

Jing Bo Yuan is standing near the window. Ye Qing Xin walks quietly and suddenly pats on his shoulder. She thought initially that he will be surprised but who knows that he is calm and doesn’t respond as she wishes. She is uninterested.

She pouts and hugs him. Jing Bo Yuan laughs

“What are you laughing at?”

Jing Bo Yuan looks at her and pinches Ye Qing Xin’s cheek.

“I’m laughing that you are stupid.”

Ye Qing Xin is not happy. “Which part of me is stupid? You are uninteresting, how can you not surprised?”

Jing Bo Yuan strokes her head and smiles: “They are waiting for us, let’s go.”

He just says it and takes Ye Qing Xin’s coat and scarf on the sofa. Jing Bo Yuan helps her to wear it.

Ye Qing Xin feels that Jing Bo Yuan covers her up like a Zong Zi (pyramid-shaped dumpling made of glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves). She can only look in front and cannot turn her head. She looks at the mirror to see her appearance now. She can only see her eyes and her hands now.

She notices that Jing Bo Yuan really doesn’t care about her image. If it’s another man, when he takes out her woman, he will hope that his woman will dress prettily to maintain his own face.

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t act that way. Every time he always wraps her tightly. Maybe this is the difference between mature and successful man with a common man.

A successful man has money and position, he has enough self-confidence. He doesn’t need woman’s appearance to boost his confidence; A successful man knows clearly how to treat his own woman.

Ye Qing Xin thinks about this and smiles.

She holds Jing Bo Yuan’s arm and says: “Let’s go, don’t let them wait for us too long.”

The dinner takes place in Shi Guang Qing Cheng.

They arrive thirty minutes later.

Inside the private room. Everyone has came.

Ye Qing Xin looks around. There are Cheng Ru Yu, Xiao Yan, Ji Lin Yuan, and He Ji Fan playing cards together. Beside He Ji Fan, there’s a woman. She seems to be around twenty years old. She is sexy, mature, and beautiful.

Yu Geng Xin brings Jiang Xiao Lou to come today. They are enjoying their wine. Ye Qing Xin has watched Jiang Xiao Lou’s drama, but this is the first time she meets her face to face.

Song Xian Yu is sitting down on the sofa and chatting with a girl. She turns her head and waves her hand at Ye Qing Xin. “Xin Xin.”

Ye Qing Xin greets everyone and goes to Song Xian Yu’s side.

Song Xian Yu smiles: “let me introduce you. This is my best friend, Su Yu Zuo… this is my friend, Ye Qing Xin.”

Ye Qing Xin looks at Su Yu Zuo. She is startled for a while. This the woman that she and Jing Bo Yuan encountered when they bumped into Xiao Yan.

“Hi.” Su Yu Zuo greets Ye Qing Xin. She looks like a woman around twenty years old.

Ye Qing Xin smiles and replies: “Hi.”

Song Xian Yu takes out a red pocket and passes it to Ye Qing Xin: “I heard that you are pregnant with triplets. You are so great. These are jade bracelets that I bought for your kids. It’s not expensive. Please don’t dislike it.”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t refuse, she takes it: “Thank you, Sao Zi.” Song Xian Yu is her friend, she doesn’t want to refuse.

Song Xian Yu looks at her belly and couldn’t help to sigh: “You are so great, just in a while you can conceive with three. That time it’s so hard for me to be pregnant with one. It’s hard for you.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “For kids, it’s okay to endure this.”

Song Xian Yu smiles: “This is reasonable. The time the kids are born, you can look at their cuteness and that time you will think that the suffering is worthy.”

After a while, the card game ends. Cheng Ru Yu calls everyone to come to have dinner.

Everyone takes their seat.

A table with three meters long is enough for eleven people.

Jing Bo Yuan sits on the opposite of He Ji Fan. He Ji Fan takes out his cigarette box and wants to smoke it.

“Ji Fan.” Jing Bo Yuan speaks up.

He Ji Fan pauses and throws the lighter back on the table. He seems to find it hard to control his smoking addiction. He is anxious and scratching his head but he doesn’t take his lighter again.

Ye Qing Xin just realizes that there is no hint of cigarette inside the room. Most men inside the room are smoker but today when they gather, she cannot smell any cigarette smell. She turns her head and looks at Jing Bo Yuan, it should be because of his reminder and request.

He always so considerate and attentive for her.

The waiter starts to serve up the food.

Everyone brings their car today so no one mentions of drinking.

Su Yu Zuo is arranged to sit down next to Cheng Ru Yu. Song Xian Yu says to Cheng Ru Yu: “Da Ge, our Su Su is introvert person. She is a bit shy. You should help me to take care of her okay.” She says to Cheng Ru Yu.

Not only Cheng Ru Yu, almost everyone knows her intention.

Song Xian Yu is planning to match-making Cheng Ru Yu and Su Yu Zuo.

Ye Qing Xin is somewhat confused with Xiao Yan. Su Yu Zuo and Xiao Yan aren’t they……

Xiao Yan raises his glass and looks cold and indifferent. He acts like everything has nothing to do with him.

Su Yu Zuo hears Song Xian Yu’s words and her cheeks turn red. She lowers her head.

Cheng Ru Yu peeks at Song Xian Yu and smiles: “You are so caring toward me.”

Song Xian Yu smiles: “This is the duty that Nai Nai gave to me. I have no way. Moreover, I feel that our Su Su is suitable to be my Sao Zi.”

The dishes are placed neatly on the table and everyone starts to eat now.

Jing Bo Yuan keeps on picking foods for Ye Qing Xin.

Ji Lin Yuan also acts the same way toward Song Xian Yun.

Everyone seems to have their own couple, except for Xiao Yan. He seems to be isolated and alone.

“Cheng Da Ge, I heard from Song Song that you frequently have big operation. You can stand on the operation table for ten hours. You have stomach problem because of it. You should drink soup first before meal.” Su Yu Zuo takes a bowl of soup and gives it to him.

Cheng Ru Yu doesn’t refuse. He just takes it and thanks her.

Su Yu Zuo looks at him and smiles: “No worries.”

Song Xian Yu speaks up again: “Da Ge, Su Su helps you to take the soup. You need to help her to pick up food.”

Su Yu Zuo smiles but her gaze falls on Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan is talking something with Yu Geng Xin. He is cold and seems to be indifferent. All along he doesn’t even look at her.

Su Yu Zuo looks down and covers up her disappointment.

On the middle of the dinner, Xiao Yan gets a call. He excuses himself. During that time his gaze falls on Su Yu Zuo’s face and he goes out the room.

After a while, Su Yu Zuo stands up and says: “I’ll go to the restroom first.”

Ye Qing Xin feels something is off. She always feels that between Xiao Yan and Su Yu Zuo are…. there’s something.

After a while, Xiao Yan comes back.

After a while, Su Yu Zuo also opens the door and gets it. She doesn’t look well. Song Xian Yu asks her: “What takes you so long? What happens to your face?”

Su Yu Zuo smiles: “nothing.”

He Ji Fan keeps on chatting with the woman beside him. Ye Qing Xin doesn’t want to ask who is his girlfriend now. It’s his own freedom and it’s unrelated ot her. It’s just she feels bad for Dou Weir.

“He Shao really has great energy.” She suddenly speaks up with a calm voice.

He Ji Fan let the woman go and looks at Ye Qing Xin: “Di Mei, are you feel outraged by an injustice because of Dou Weir?”

Dou Weir……..

Ye Qing Xin looks at He Ji Fan’s eyes. Previously, he always called Dou Weir as Wei Weir, now he changes it.

“I already break up with your best friend, didn’t she tell you?” He Ji Fan smiles.

Ye Qing Xin is startled.

Dou Weir never tells her about it. Recently during the class, Ye Qing Xin always sees her happy face. She doesn’t see any hint of sadness of breaking up.

Looking at Ye Qing Xin’s expression, He Ji Fan knows that Dou Weir doesn’t tell Ye Qing Xin about it. He looks somehow confused. But he smiles and says nothing. He doesn’t do any intimate action toward the woman beside him. That woman tries to hold his arm, and he just turns his head and pats that woman’s face: “Go take a taxi back home. Now.”

His words are calm, his expression is soft. But somehow his tone feels cold and cruel.

“He Shao….” that woman doesn’t want to let go a chance to be with He JI Fan.

He Ji Fan frowns and says coldly: “You are not leaving?”
