The feeling is strange. Yet it gives her a happy feeling.

Ye Qing Xin understands what is that. She lowers her head and strokes her bulging belly.

She takes her phone and wants to call Jing Bo Yuan.

“I’m sorry, the number that your calling is off. Please try again later….”

Ye Qing Xin is startled. She is a bit dispirited. The kids are moving for the first time, it’s the first time she experiences it so she wants to share her happiness with him. She doesn’t expect that his phone is off.

He should be so busy. Though she doesn’t ask why he goes to Tian Jin but these period of times he rarely goes on business trip. He uses to pass the matters to his subordinate and provides time to accompany her. Today suddenly he said that he will go to Tian Jin. She knows that it is a sudden decision. There should be something important.

Ye Qing Xin controls her feeling. She takes the book from the drawer about antenatal instruction. She reads it softly for the kids.

At night 09:00 p.m.

A group of men in suit comes out from the hotel. In the front are Jing Bo Yuan and a fat middle-aged man.

“For this matter, I’m sorry to trouble Secretary Wu. Please take care of it.” Jing Bo Yuan shakes hand with that middle-aged fat man.

The middle-aged fat man bows his body a bit and says: “Chief Jing, please don’t be so modest. Being able to help you is my honor. Chief Jing, you can go home first. Please greet Lao Tai Tai (Old Madame Jing) for I and these Misters.”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles: “Of course.”

Jing Bo Yuan watches the car leaves. Qu Qi, who is standing beside of Jing Bo Yuan, says: “Old sly and treacherous person didn’t want to agree before. He wanted to force you to come to meet him. He wants to use you to climb up. If his plan is going well, he also will not be afraid that you’ll be hostile. We should just let him fall.”

Jing Bo Yuan looks at Qu Qi and says: “Letting someone to fall down, you also need to wait till he does something wrong. This Secretary Wu is quite good. He has been a public servant for so many years but he never does anything wrong. You shouldn’t look down at him.”

“Then Chief Jing, you will provide the way for him? With our Bo Wei’s power, we don’t need to compromise with him?” The one that is asking is the newbie. This is the first time for him to follow him in business trip.

“Don’t look down on anyone. Today you guide him, maybe in the future, you also will rely on him to pass the hardship.”

Jing Bo Yuan says it and gets inside the hotel again. This hotel is part of Bo Wei’s group. This time all of them are staying there.

The newbie looks at Jing Bo Yuan, who is leaving. “Chief Qu, I….. did I say something wrong? Chief Jing seems to be unhappy…..”

Qu Qi pats the newbie’s shoulder and says: “This is your first time to have this close conversation with him right? He usually acts like this. You will get use to it. Before he just taught you something. You should think carefully about it.”

Jing Bo Yuan goes to the top floor.

Bo Wei’s business in Tian Jin has a bit of problem. It needs help from the top people to solve it. Secretary Wu keeps on pressuring them. Today in the morning, he exposed his request to meet Jing Bo Yuan so Jing Bo Yuan leaves for a business trip here.

For making sure to show his sincerity, his phone is switched off.

In the elevator.

He switches on the phone, it’s already 09:15 p.m.

Ye Qing Xin should fall asleep now.

Jing Bo Yuan just looks at her number.

Luo Feng is reading a contract, he notices his boss is looking at the phone. He couldn’t help but to peek at the screen.

He notices the word “Xin Xin.” Luo Feng immediately understands what is his boss thinking. He speaks up: “Tai Tai is five month pregnant right? My wife is six month pregnant. Her belly is so round like a ball. Everyone says that she should be pregnant with twins. Haha….. I don’t have that kind of luck. I am not as lucky as Chief Jing that can get triplet at once.”

“Five-month old babies can move, Tai Tai should be able to feel the fetal movement right. Her belly should be full, that she can feel it right? The first time I stroked my wife’s belly casually. I was so surprised, the baby moved. Now the time I recall about it I felt that I was quite stupid that time. Haha……”

“The first time being father, I have no experience. My wife’s belly is big. When she sleeps, she feels her belly to be constricted. She always says that her waist is aching. She cannot sleep well, she keeps on moving, I also cannot sleep well. Afterwards my experienced friend tell me about a pillow for a pregnant woman. I looked at it online and bought it for her. With that pillow, she can sleep well, I also can sleep better.”

Luo Feng sounds so happy.

Jing Bo Yuan puts away his phone and looks at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng notices Jing Bo Yuan’s strict and cold eyes. He shuts his mouth and feels so awkward.

The elevator stops, the door is opened. Jing Bo Yuan goes out of the elevator first. Luo Feng follows him till the front of Jing Bo Yuan’s room. He opens the door for Jing Bo Yuan to get in.

Jing Bo Yuan gets inside. Luo Feng wants to help him to close the door. Before the door closed, Jing Bo Yuan says: “That pillow for pregnant woman, help me to order one and sends it directly to Nan Shan mansion.”

Luo Feng is startled: “Em?”

Jing Bo Yuan glances at him and doesn’t repeat his words again. He goes ot the living room.

Luo Feng responds quickly, he nods and closes the door.

At night.

Ye Qing Xin cannot sleep really well.

She uses to sleep on her side and her waist will lean on Jing Bo Yuan’s body. Tonight there’s no Jing Bo Yuan. She feels that her waist is aching.

The next day morning, Auntie Chi wakes her up at 07:00 a.m.

The time she freshens up and looks at the mirror, she notices the dark circles under her eyes.

“Xin Xin, last night you were not sleeping well?” On the dining table, Old Madame Yan asks her.

Ye Qing Xin smiles and says: “Quite good.”

“A Yuan is indeed, why didn’t he let his subordinates to do it. Why should he go on business trip. It’s good that it’s for a day. Tonight he will be back.”

“Our Xin Xin nah, cannot live a day with him.”

Ye Qing Xin: “…….”

On the way to the school, Ye Qing Xin answers Jing Bo Yuan’s call.

She answers. “Today I need to handle a bit of matter. I will be done before 08:00 p.m. I will arrive at home around 11:00 p.m.

“No need to worry. You can also go back tomorrow….”

“I want to meet you earlier.”

Ye Qing Xin: “……..”

The call ends. She touches her burning face and looks at the window. She is smiling.

When she gets inside the classroom, there are many people have arrived. Jing Suo Suo and Dou Weir are not arrived yet. The time Ye Qing Xin appears, everyone looks at her.

Ye Qing Xin just acts casual and looks for an empty seat.

“Her belly is that big, yet she doesn’t even feel embarrassed about it. I cannot imagine what she is thinking. If it’s me, I’ll definitely hide and not come out.”

“If it’s me, my Ma will beat me to death. Her family should care more about her.

Ye Qing Xin acts like she doesn’t hear their gossips.

Till the class starts, Jing Suo Suo and Dou Weir are not arrived yet.

After the first period, Ye Qing Xin gives both of them a call. Jing Suo Suo is sick because of the rain yesterday night. She is in the hospital now for get put on an IV. Dou Weir doesn’t answer the call.

The time she calls her for the fifth time, it is finally answered.

“Hi? Who is this?” Dou Weir says hoarsely. She seems to be sleeping.

“Weir, where are you?”

“I am on the bed. I have a headache. Please help me to ask for a sick leave today…..”

Then Dou Weir just hangs up. She continues to sleep. She could smell a faint hint of the perfume. The perfume is a man perfume that she really likes.

It’s a five-minute silence.

Then Dou Weir opens her eyes. She looks around. It’s all in gray color. Gray blanket, gray pillow.

She feels headache. She is startled for two seconds then she sits up.

The unfamiliar surrounding makes her stupefied.

This kind of thing is not a first time for her.

She cannot remember anything because she drank too much before.

She tries to recall what happened last night.

She met He Ji Fan by accident at the bar. She noticed that he had a young woman beside him. She is angry but she didn’t ask him. She just kept on drinking. At last she finished a bottle.

Drinking makes a botch of things.

She is too drunk that she cannot even walk. She cannot recognize anyone. She remembers that someone carried her up and took her to leave the bar.

She lowers her head down to check on her body. Her coat is gone, but her clothes are still need. She does several stretching movement. She doesn’t feel anything uncomfortable.

Fortunately, that ‘someone’ did nothing to her.

She looks around the room. The room is decorated in simple yet exquisite. The color is deep. It is man’s room.

Her coat is placed on the sofa near the window, there is a man’s slippers on the bed side.

Dou Weir gets off the bed and walks on tiptoe to get her coat.

She listens carefully to other noise, but except her own breathing and heartbeats, she cannot hear anything else.

She thinks that no one is around. She opens the door and wants to see what outside by stretching forward her head.

She comes outside to the living room and walks toward the door to go outside. She walks and notices there is an indoor lotus pond in the house. She also notices a snowy white cat is laying lazily on one of the lotus leaf. The cat is watching her like she is an intruder.

They are looking at each other. Then suddenly a door is opened. Dou Weir wants to hide, but it’s too late.

The time she sees the person, she is startled.

“You are awake?” He Ji Fan comes inside with a plastic bag on his grip. He closes the door.

Dou Weir regains herself. She turns cold.

“Why are you here? Where is this place?”

In the past, she lived together with him. She never came here in the past.

“My house.” He Ji Fan is calm unlike his usual self.

“I didn’t expect that you have this kind of house. I’m honored to know your house.

The time they were together, every night they usually spent on hotel or her apartment.

She never goes to his house.

She suddenly realizes that she doesn’t know him well.

Dou Weir stands up straight and looks at He Ji Fan’s face: “Thank you for your care last night. I’ll leave first. Bye.”

She then directly walks toward the door.

He Ji Fan blocks her way easily.

“He Xian Sheng, what do you want?” Dou Weir looks unhappy.

“Eat the breakfast first before you leave.”

“I can go outside and eat on my own.”

He Ji Fan looks at her, he purses her lips and says nothing.

Dou Weir somewhat cannot understand his intention.

Dou Weir realizes that he will not move away. She cannot describe what she is feeling that time. She feels somewhat complicated yet sad. She looks at the clothes on him. He is wearing a maroon shirt with black pants. Thinking about how close he is with another woman last night. She feels like she could smell that woman’s scent on him.

She wants to vent her angry but she cannot find a way. She just feels in pain.

Dou Weir wants to take another way out.

She just turns her body yet her wrist is clutched by him.

“Eat the breakfast, then I’ll send you home.” He Ji Fan sounds patient.

Dou Weir shakes off his hand with great power: “No need, I can go home by myself.”

“Wei Weir.” He Ji Fan’s voice turns deep. Once again he clutches her wrist. This time is stronger than before.

He Ji Fan pulls her and presses her body on the wall on the side.

“Am I sound too open to persuasion?”

Dou Weir is startled and starts to struggle.

“Let me go!”

“Am I too open to persuasion that you turn absolutely wild?” He Ji Fan repeats oneself again.

“What do you want?” Dou Weir’s eyes are full of tears.

What does he want from her? Last night he hugged another woman. Today he doesn’t let her to leave. From the beginning she knows that he is unfaithful, he doesn’t care about love. She falls in love with him.

He Ji Fan looks at Dou Weir’s teary eyes. He is surprised, he just lets her go.

He Ji Fan is confused and feels sorry for her.

“He Xian Sheng.” Dou Weir trembles yet she is calm: “We have no relationship anymore. Please keep our distance in the future. It’s best that this will not happen again. I want to avoid this to be known with your new girlfriend. Later she might find trouble for me.”

“Wei Weir……”

He Ji Fan wants to say something. Dou Weir cuts him off: “Also the way you call me, it’s too shady. I hope that He Xian Sheng can change it.”

Dou Weir finishes her words. She passes him and she says her final words: “Last night, thank you for your care.”

She was drunk last night, if He Ji Fan didn’t bring her home. She cannot imagine what will happen to her.

Her drinking habit should be changed.

The time Dou Weir leaves He Ji Fan’s house, her tears keep on falling. She feels heartbroken.

He Ji Fan looks at the door. He throws the plastic bag to the ground. He takes out his cigarette and lighter. He starts to smoke.

If Dou Weir checked him on detail, she will notice that he has dark circles under his eyes. It’s clear he had not sleep last night. Because of this he is still wearing the same clothes as yesterday.

He Ji Fan is anxious. He then dials a number, he says: “Send her home.”

He ends the call and continues to smoke. After a long time he mutters: “Wei Weir.”

That snowy-white cat stands up and jumps around. She stands on He Ji Fan’s feet. “Miao~”

“Wei Weir.”

“Miao ~”

Dou Weir goes out of the house and notices a car stops beside her. “Dou Xiao Jie, I come to send you home.”

The car’s window is opened and shows a face. He is He Ji Fan’s driver. Dou Weir often sees him.

“No need, I can get a taxi.” Dou Weir smiles and declines.

“Dou Xiao Jie, Chief He instructs me to send you home. I hope that you don’t make things hard for me.”

Dou Weir smiles: “I say no need.”

“Dou Xiao Jie…”

Dou Weir is patient and says: “Okay, I will not tell him that you don’t send me home. You can just say that you already send me to school, okay? If you keep on following me, do you believe that I’ll tell him that you attempt to harass me?’

The driver: “…….”

Dou Weir returns to the school and directly returns to the dorm.

Ye Qing Xin remembers that Dou Weir is having a headache. In the mid-afternoon after the class, she brought a meat-veggie-rice combo box for her.”

Dou Weir is covering herself inside the blanket. Ye Qing Xin calls after her but she doesn’t move. Ye Qing Xin lifts up the blanket and notices that Dou Weir’s face is full of tears.

“What is it? Is it too painful? Let’s go to hospital.”

Dou Weir shakes her head, “I’m okay. My head is not hurt.”

“What are you crying about?” Ye Qing Xin asks.

Dou Weir just falls silent.

Ye Qing Xin somewhat could guess. She takes a tissue and wipes her tears. She shifts the topic: “Are you hungry? Wake up and eat a bit of food. I buy your favorite hot pepper chicken with rice.”

“I don’t want to eat.” Dou Weir says. “No need to mind me. Have a rest. I’m okay. It’s real.”

Ye Qing Xin sits down on bed and watches her for a while. She knows that for this matter, it’s no use to comfort her. She sighs and covers her well with the blanket. She says: “Have a good rest.”

Dou Weir doesn’t go to the afternoon class.

At night after all the class ends, Ye Qing Xin returns to the dorm and looks at Dou Weir. She notices that she is better so she goes home.

The time she arrives at the mansion, she notices a big pillow with strange shape.

“This pillow is too big, what is the use of this?” Ye Qing Xin touches it, it is soft and comfortable.

“This is a pillow for pregnant woman that A Yuan bought for you. At night you can sleep more comfortable.” Old Madame Yan explains. “I forgot about this. You have a big belly. You must be a bit uncomfortable. I don’t know whether it is good or not, try it tonight.”

“I also don’t know how can A Yuan think of buying this, I even don’t think about it.”

After the dinner.

Ye Qing Xin ties her hair up and goes to take shower. When she is coming out of the bathroom, she notices the pillow. She smiles and get on the bed. She tries to find comfortable position to sleep.

She hugs the pillow, it’s comfortable.

At first she wanted to finish her design, but at last she falls sleep when holding that pillow.

At night 10:30 p.m. Jing Bo Yuan returns home and watches that Ye Qing Xin is laying and holding a pillow. She looks a bit anxious, she seems to be cold.

Jing BO Yuan frowns and covers her with the blanket.

At the midnight, Ye Qing Xin wakes up and notices that she is holding a pillow anymore but Jing Bo Yuan.

She falls asleep again.

The next morning, Ye Qing Xin wakes up and notices that Jing Bo Yuan is dragging a big suitcase out from the dressing room.

Ye Qing Xin sits up and looks shocked: “You just come home and you will go on business trip again?”

“We will go to the Jing family residence and stay there for some time.” Jing Bo Yuan puts the suitcase on the sofa side and kisses Ye Qing Xin’s forehead.

“Go and stay at Jing family residence for some time?” Ye Qing Xin is confused: “Why?”

Jing Bo Yuan says: “Do you remember that you told me that you want to connect the master bedroom with the next bedroom. You want to change that next bedroom to be the baby room? It’ll be so noisy. It’s better for us to go to Jing family residence and stay there for few days.”

Ye Qing Xin is a bit muddled. She looks at him: “Did I say that?”

Jing Bo Yuan strokes her head and doesn’t answer. He just smiles and says: “Go and freshen up.”
