The broken door was lying on the floor. Ying Qingcang who came to his senses was very repentant.
âAre youâŠ.. alrightâŠâ His voice was still hoarse from the sex.
Xin Qing did not move at all. Ying Qingcang saw that her face was filled with tears and her lips had been bitten, so his heart throbbed. He wanted to touch her, but his hand stopped in midair. He silently walked to the door and propped it up, leaving without saying a word.
When Xin Qing woke up, she felt as if her entire body had fallen apart. She looked at the watch in a daze and was lucky to find that today was Saturday. Then she cursed Ying Qingcang a few times before falling asleep again.
âYoung Master, the young miss doesnât wake up yet.â This was the fifth time Uncle Fu reported to Ying Qingcang. He watched the time. âCould it be that she gets sick again?â
âIt canât be. I secretly took a check, and it is just that she doesnât wake up from her sleep.â Auntie Tian looked at the young master sympathetically. Since you cared about her so much, why did you argue with her last night?
Ying Qingcang thought for a moment, then stood up and walked upstairs. Halfway there, he returned and walked outside: âWhen she wakes up, get someone to fix the door.
âUnderstood, Young Master.â Uncle Fu saw that he was about to leave, then added, âBe careful on the road.â Ying Qingcang originally wanted to withdraw his leg, but now he could only step out. He even didnât forget to glare at Uncle Fu before he left.
The entire Yingâs Building was enveloped in a heavy and weird atmosphere today.
âHave you heard that the whole Finance Department is punished, and all of them are deducted three monthâs bonuses? â
âItâs not just the Finance Department. The head of the Propaganda Department is transferred out. No one knows when heâll be back!â
âManagers all said that President Ying seemed to be going to eat them when they were at the meeting.â
âSo horrible. Luckily Iâm not qualified for the meeting.â
In the lounge, a few staff members were muttering about what happened today. In the end, they came to a conclusion that President Ying might get his period so that he was irritable and others should not be close to him.
Others might be able to escape, but Ah Nan couldnât. He stood in front of Ying Qingcangâs desk with a serious face.
âCall home and see if she wakes up.â Ying Qingcang said as he threw another file onto the floor.
Ah Nan quickly picked it up and said, âI called five minutes ago and she didnât wake up yet.â
âThat was five minutes ago.â Ying Qingcang said coldly.
âIâll call right now.â Ah Nan quickly left and dialed from the door. After hanging up, he quickly came in: âYoung master, young miss wakes up.â
Ying Qingcangâs expression got clearly relaxed. He casually opened a file, thought for a moment, and then said again: âCall later and ask if she eats.â
âYes sir. Iâll call in five minutes.â
âFive minutes? Whatâs the hurry?â
Ah Nan walked out of the office with grievance, when he met Young Master Shen who was about to enter.
âWhatâs going on?â Young Master Shen asked quietly.
Ah Nan made a throat slitting gesture, and Young Master Shen understood.
Ying Qingcang asked in a bad mood when he saw him. âWho let you in? Did you knock on the door? â
âHehe âŠâ Young Master Shen laughed. Ying Qingcang, you really should look into the mirror, and see how sullen your face was.
âSince someone doesnât want to know about the man who was with Little Qingqing yesterday, then I wonât disturb him.â Young Master Shen said as he prepared to leave.
âHold on.â Ying Qingcang shouted. Young Master Shen turned his head and winked at him, pouring himself a glass of red wine before sitting back down: âDidnât I tell you that you should have a good talk with her and clear up the misunderstanding? You screwed it up again?â
Ying Qingcang did not want to explain to him and directly asked, âWhoâs that man?â
âHis name is Chen Ming.â Young Master Shen threw a few pieces of paper to him, âHe grew up together with Little Qingqing, and then he went abroad for study. In other words, this Chen Ming is a congenial companion to Little Qingqing! â
What the hell was the congenial companion? Ying Qingcang curled his lips, and when he continued to read the information, he wrinkled his brows: âChen Mu Sheng ⊠Is he the Secretary of the Provincial Committee of B Province? â
âThatâs right, Chen Ming is his youngest son.â Young Master Shen pointed to the paper, âThis Chen Ming doesnât like politics, and he already registered an electronics company in S City. It seems that he will be back soon to develop his career.â
âYoung Master!â Ah nan stuck his head out. âUncle Fu said that Miss Xin has already eaten.â
Ying Qingcang nodded. Young Master Shen suddenly asked: âDo you know what kind of day it was yesterday?â
âFull moon night.â Ying Qingcang would naturally not forget such kind of days.
Young Master Shen had an expression as if he had expected it. âYesterday was Little Qingqingâs birthday.â
⊠âŠ.
After a moment of silence, Ying Qingcang stood up and rushed out.
Xin Qing ended the phone call which was called from Zhang Mi and made an appointment to eat dinner with her. Yesterday, they played too late so they didnât eat a birthday cake, so the two best friends insisted on making it up for her.
âLe Le, is it good?â Xin Qing looked at the puppy as it nibbled on a piece of bone that looked like a cake and rubbed its head, âFrom today onwards, my birthday will be your birthday. Since I didnât have the time to celebrate birthday for you yesterday, I should make it up as well.â
Xin Qingâs smile slowly faded as she thought back to the same time of last year when her mother had cooked longevity noodles for her and they had even gone to Disney to play for a whole day. Itâs only been a year now, but those days could only be buried in memories. No one would cook longevity noodles for her, and hug her, and say happy birthday to my baby on her birthdayâŠ
When Ying Qingcang rushed home, he saw Xin Qing sitting on the window sill. The sunlight shone onto her face, but could not hide her red and swollen eyes. She slowly caressed Le Leâs body. On her wrist was some scars that made Ying Qingcang feel ashamed. He sidled over and stood behind her, and the shadows of them two looked so harmonious on the floor.
Xin Qing quickly discovered him, and moved her body to stand further away. Seeing the snuggling shadows were torn apart, Ying Qingcang felt an inexplicable sense of regret.
âDoes it still hurt?â
Xin Qing looked at him, and shook her wrist: âNo.â
Just as Ying Qingcang was about to let out a breath of relief, he heard she say that, âBut how could it not hurt. Tying you up and you will feel it.â
⊠âŠ. I wouldnât mind if you tied me up. Ying Qingcang was shocked by his thoughts. Why did he have such thoughts? Shaking his head, he said to Xin Qing: âShould we have a talk?â
Xin Qing didnât say anything. She put down Le Le, walked over to the sofa and sat down.
Ying Qingcang hurried to the opposite side of her. âFirst, I apologize to you.â He said with a sincere tone, and quickly averted his gaze when he saw Xin Qingâs somewhat surprised expression. He had been preparing for it all along the way, but lost all courage when Xin Qing looked at him.
Xin Qing was wondering secretly why he went crazy again âŠ
âHeâs Chen Ming, a neighbor of mine when I was young. I havenât seen him since he went abroad a few years ago. Yesterday, he helped me get rid of two drunkards in KTV. We met by chance. â Xin Qing spoke out what she wanted to say yesterday, without looking at him.
Originally, she didnât want to say it, because she hated Ying Qingcang for the way he treated her last night. But then she shuddered at the thought of his horrible look. So it was better to explain herself. Otherwise, she might not have the chance to meet Chen Ming in the future.
What she said was as same as the investigation results. Ying Qingcang somehow relaxed, and asked: âIs he your childhood sweetheart? Do you like him? â
âWe just grew up together. I take him as my older brother.â Xin Qing glared at him, not knowing why he asked such a question.
Ying Qingcang stared at her for a long time, which made her hair stand on end. She hurriedly added, âI promise you, I wonât have any physical contact with him anymore.â
âCough cough âŠâ Ying Qingcang was a bit awkward, and lowered his voice: âNo need, thatâs not what I mean.â
What he meant was that he didnât think she was dirty. However, Xin Qing did not understand and did not want to understand. When she woke up in the morning, she couldnât wait to kill Ying Qingcang, but then she calmed down by taking a shower. Actually, the peaceful time they had these days made her forget the relationship between her and him. She had signed the agreement and sold herself to Ying Qingcang, so it was reasonable no matter how he treated her. From what happened last night, she once again realized what situation she was in. For her own good, she should definitely not piss off Ying Qingcang like what she did last night.
âI still have things to do in company, so I need to leave.â Ying Qingcang stood up. Xin Qing stood up at the same time, but she saw that he didnât move a bit in a long time.
âWhat else do you want?â she asked tentatively.
Ying Qingcang shook his head and walked towards the door. He finally said âHappy Birthdayâ when he opened the door. Then, without waiting for Xin Qingâs reply, he closed the door and left.
He specially came back to say âHappy Birthdayâ to her? Xin Qing realized it after a long time. Then she quickly denied it. She didnât believe that he would be so polite.
When Ying Qingcang returned to the Yingâs Building, Young Master Shen was still lying on the sofa and resting. Seeing that he returned, he was surprised. âSo quick? I thought you would treat Little Qingqing a meal! â
Ying Qingcang ignored him. On the way back, he had called Uncle Fu and told him to arrange a dinner, because he wanted to celebrate birthday for Xin Qing. However, he was told that Xin Qing had already made an appointment with friends. He immediately thought of that Chen Ming, so had Ah Che drive Xin Qing there and see who she was with, then let him know at once.
Since he couldnât have dinner with her, he should at least give her a gift. Thinking of this, Ying Qingcang finally noticed Young Master Shen.
âWhat gift should I give to her?â
Young Master Shen shrugged his shoulders. âDiamonds, jewels, big-name brands! Women like these things. â
Ying Qingcang was not sure. He had never seen Xin Qing wore the watch he gave her before.
âIt depends on your purpose. âYoung Master Shen began to educate him, âFor example, I gave gifts to women because I wanted to coax them into bed. What do you want by giving Little Qingqing a gift? â
What did he want? Ying Qingcang frowned. Since Xin Qing was already his woman, then what else did he want from her? He thought it over. Since he had misunderstood Xin Qing yesterday and yesterday was even her birthday, so he should give her a gift today for apologizing. Yes, thatâs it.
Ying Qingcang explained the reason, and then dragged Young Master Shen outside. âChoose a gift for me.â
Young Master Shen looked at the excited man speechlessly. Since you were so insensible, how would you do in the future âŠ
