Prestigious Family Marriage: Uncle vs Young Wife Chapter 143

This time the weather is so hot. Only a short while of standing outside, Ye Qing Xin is sweaty. She is also a bit dizzy.

She doesn't know whether Gu Qiao notices it or not. She just says: “Hurry up get on. It's too hot today. You cannot bask in under sun with your body.” She then looks at Dou Weir: “You are Xin Xin's friend right? Help her to get on.”

Dou Weir doesn't know Gu Qiao, she doesn't know whether they should get on or not. She just looks at Ye Qing Xin.

The sun is unbearable for her. She feels weak. She doesn't know whether it's illusion or not but faintly she feels her belly is uncomfortable.

She doesn't hesitate anymore and just smiles. “Will we hold you up?”

Gu Qiao smiles and her gaze sweeps on her belly “No, get in.”

At first Ye Qing Xin wanted to sit at the front to accompany Gu Qiao. If she sits on the backseat with Dou Weir, it might make Gu Qiao thinks herself as a driver. It makes her looks impolite.

Gu Qiao doesn't mind it. She insists Ye Qing Xin to sit on the backseat. Her reason is the backseat is safer.

Ye Qing Xin smiles and doesn't be stubborn.

“Xin Xin, where are you going/” Gu Qiao speaks up.

“Si He Shang Yuan” Ye Qing Xin replies.

Si He Shang Yuan has a good reputation in Jing City. It's a small area and an area of rich people.

Gu Qiao is startled but very quickly she calms down.

On the way.

The atmosphere is silence. Ye Qing Xin just leans back on her seat and doesn't want to talk. She is unwell because of the temperature. Gu Qiao and Dou Weir are not close so they cannot chat about anything.

But with Gu Qiao present, there will be no awkward atmosphere. She is not chatty but she can find a topic to talk.

“Xin Xin, your friend is really beautiful, what is your name?” Gu Qiao asks, her tone is natural. Her compliment doesn't make people feel it's too sudden or in purpose. It let someone feels happy and comfortable.

Dou Weir doesn't wait for Ye Qing Xin to response, she just answers: “I am Dou Weir, I am Xin Xin's college roommate, what about you?”

Dou Weir examines the woman on driver seat. She looks like she is twenty five or twenty six years old. She wears an expensive clothes, she clearly is not a commoner.

Gu Qiao smiles and compliments again: “Your name is a bit familiar. I feel like I heard it before. I am Gu Qiao. I see that you should be in same age as Xin Xin. You can call me Qiao Qiao Jie.”

Gu Qiao? Dou Weir frowns. She feels Gu Qiao's name is familiar. She thinks about it and just realizes that this time the person-in-charge for the competition is Gu Qiao.

“You are the person-in-charge of Jing Yan's competition/'

Speaking of it, Gu Qiao also remembers that she also saw her name in the list.

“You and Xin Xin need to do your best tomorrow.”

Her words show that she admits it.

Dou Weir's eyes turn bright. She asks: “There's a news on the internet that Isla will appear in the fashion show tomorrow, is it true? If it's true, whose cloth she will wear?”

There are eleven participants in this competition, don't know who will have the honor,

“Isla is so great. Clothes that she wore always be trending and hot. The clothes that Isla wear will raise the chance of winning. Shouldn't it be unfair?”

Gu Qiao smiles: “Don't worry. Everyone will be happy.”

Dou Weir wants to ask more but Gu Qiao starts to change the topic: “Xin Xin, I hear … Nai Nai said that you are pregnant, congrats.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Thank you. I didn't know Yan Nai Nai know about it.”

Gu Qiao: “Jing Nai Nai has declared to the public that she will be Tai Nai Nai soon. So I'm afraid everyone knows about it already.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles when she imagines how happy Old Madame Jing be.

Gu Qiao asks casually: “When are you guys planning to marry?”

Ye Qing Xin answers honestly: “The wedding will be at 6 Oct.

Dou Weir tighten her grip on the steering wheel. “Congrats to you. That time I will give you a thick red envelope.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Thank you.”

They arrive at the Si He Shang Yuan. Ye Qing Xin gets off the car and bids her goodbye to Gu Qiao: “Qiao Qiao Jie, go up and have a tea.” Her invitation is half for formality half for sincere invite”

Gu Qiao smiles and rejects: “No, I have other appointments. I'll not disturb you from having a rest. Goodbye.”

She drives away.

Dou Weir asks Ye Qing Xin: “That is a good chance, why aren't you using it?”

“What chance?”

Dou Weir says: “She is the person-in-charge for the competition. You guys looks close to each other. Shouldn't you directly ask for Isla to wear your clothes?”

Ye Qing Xin smiles: “For that matter, Jing Yan has its own arrangement. How can I intervene. Also there's no free lunch in this world, don't you understand this thing?”

Both of them take the elevator up.

Dou Weir looks at Ye Qing Xin. She is a really mature and wise woman. She clearly is the same age as hers but her way of thinking is more like thirty years old woman. Dou Weir thinks that she is too childish.

During the dinner, Ye Qing Xin answers a call from Jing Bo Yuan. First he asks whether she is eating on time, second, he tells her that he will go home a bit later.

She hangs up. Then she gets a call from Old Madame Jing.

“Xin Xin, have you eaten your dinner?”

“I'm eating now.” Ye Qing Xin smiles and replies.

“Then you need to eat a lot. Now you are not alone. You need to eat more nutritious food. Is Xiao Zhang's dishes suit for your taste? If not, I can find another chef for you?”

“Nai Nai, Auntie Zhang's dishes are very good. No need to make trouble for you.”

“Okay, then if you need anything, you need to call and tell Nai Nai. Don't be too modest. Ahyoo. Suddenly I will be Tai Nai Nai. It's so happy and sudden. I really want to tell those old people!”

Old Madame Jing suddenly says depressingly: “But A Yuan doesn't let me to come over. He said that I shouldn't let anyone know about your pregnancy. He asked me to hold it. I really want to see those jealous old faces, oh hehe….”

Ye Qing Xin frowns and thinks about Gu Qiao's words this afternoon. She asks: “Nai Nai, did you tell about my pregnancy to Yan Nai Nai?”

Old Madame Jing says: “No, A Yuan let me to not tell anyone. If not, he will not let me to hold my Chong Sun Zi (Great grandson) in the future. Now the ones that know are only me and your Ye Ye. Even A Yuan's Pa doesn't know about the fact he will Ye Ye soon…….”

Ye Qing Xin listens to it calmly.

She hangs up and feels something is wrong. It's not many people know about her pregnancy, Old Madame Jing doesn't tell anyone about it. How do Gu Qiao knows about it?

Could it be Cheng Ru Yu?

But it shouldn't be. Jing Bo Yuan threatens Nai Nai and Ye Ye, he doesn't let them talk about it. He should also not let Cheng Ru Yu to spread the news.

But very quickly Ye Qing Xin doesn't think about Gu Qiao again. She is thinking about another problem.

Why does Jing Bo Yuan not let anyone know about her pregnancy?……. Is he afraid that it will harm his reputation?

“Xin Xin, what are you thinking? The dishes are cold.” Dou Weir sways her chopsticks in front of Ye Qing Xin's face. Ye Qing Xin just regains herself and stuffs the rice to her mouth: “Oh, nothing, I am just thinking about something.”

She thinks about it, Jing Bo Yuan is in charge of Bo Wei company. His reputation and image should be important. If the news of her being pregnant without marriage being spread out. It will be harmful for his image…..

She knows that he is right, Ye Qing Xin knows that she should be understanding about it, but her chest is very depressed. It's like her kid is not fit to be revealed, he needs to be hidden.

That kind of feeling makes her so sad.

At night.

Ye Qing Xin lays down on the bed and she is listening to the watch to pass the time.

Jing Bo Yuan said before he would go home before ten o'clock at night.

It's only nine o'clock. It's an hour to go.

The time it's ten o'clock. The front door is opened. She listens to his movement. She listens to his steps. He walks toward the master bedroom.

Ye Qing Xin closes her eyes. She pretends to sleep soundly. She has no time to turn off the light.

That man opens the bedroom door and looks at the woman, who is on the bed. He turns off the light and goes out.

Ye Qing Xin waits until the door is closed and opens her eyes. Her heart is beating so fast. She clutches her blanket.

Even though she doesn't look at him on his eyes, but the time his gaze fel on her body, she could notice it.

After around ten minutes, she hears footstep again.

She covers her face with her blanket.

Jing Bo Yuan comes out of the bathroom with naked top body, he only wears blanket on his waist. His hair is wet. He goes to the dressing room and wears his clothes.

He then goes to the bed and sits down.

She closes her eyes and feels his gaze on her body. But after a while, she cannot endure it anymore. She just acts like she is awake. Her voice is somewhat lazy, she turns on the light: “You are home?”

Jing Bo Yuan pulls her to his embrace: “I disturb you?”

Ye Qing Xin sticks her face to his chest. She could smell the faint tobacco and alcohol smell on his body.

She says: “You smoked again.”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles and pinches her nose. “You have a dog nose.”

Ye Qing Xin refutes: “you are…”

Ye Qing Xin just let it go. She lays on his embrace. She thinks about the trouble inside her heart. Even if she has the answer, but she wants to personally hear it from him.

“I hears from Nai Nai, then you don't let anyone know about my pregnancy, why is it? Is it…”

Is it because you are worried it will affect your image and reputation?

Ye Qing Xin doesn't finish her sentence.

But her face is somewhat dispirited.

Jing Bo Yuan hugs her even tighter. “What are you thinking about? I do that because I don't want anyone thinks that I marry you because of the kid.”

They both marry should be because they love each other. If they know about the kid. They maybe think it differently. If they just know they will marry because of love, everyone will honor and bless them more.

Especially because of their different status and quite huge age gap. If people know that Ye Qing Xin is pregnant outside marriage, they will not say anything in front of her, but behind her, she will be a talk.

Jing Bo Yuan does it, not only to protect Ye Qing Xin's reputation and image, but also want to establish her position in Jing family.

Ye Qing Xin is startled.

She understands it now.

She was unhappy before because she thought that he wanted to hide their kid because for protecting his own reputation and image. Yet she forgets that she is just twenty years old girl. She gets pregnant without getting marriage. If this matter being spread out, she will be denounce by the people around them for the whole marriage.

Rumors and slanders are always hurtful.

“Bo Yuan….” Ye Qing Xin hugs him tighter.

Her depression is gone.

“Thank you.” She says.

It's a silence, then she says again: “I'm sorry. I misunderstood you.”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles and doesn't say anything. He kisses her forehead and turns off the light. “It's too late. Let's sleep.”

In the dark, Ye Qing Xin asks him: “Tomorrow will be my competition, will you come?” Then she just realizes: “How can I forget to buy the ticket for you. T is tomorrow, now there should be no ticket.”

Hearing her dishearten voice, Jing Bo Yuan pats he arm. He comforts her: “You are competing of course I'll come. Don't worry. If I want to get in, I can get in.”

He adds: “Tomorrow you just need to work hard. Don't be nervous or be too tired.”

Ye Qing Xin is relieved: “Em.”

The next day.

The Jing Yan's final competition will be held at 2 p.m. There are four steps. Fitting — the designer explains their design– juries give a mark — the voting from the visitors.

Jing Bo Yuan has a meeting in the morning so he let Driver Lu to pick and send Ye Qing Xin. He also arranges him to be her help.

Ye Qing Xin and Dou Weir go to the national stadium after their breakfast. The time they arrive, everyone else has arrived. They are busy with their own things.

Ye Qing Xin and Dou Weir uses the steamer to tidy up their clothes.

After a while, a person-in-charge comes over and explains what should the do. Then he uses draw lots method to choose the designer that will have the honor of having Isla as model.

Ye Qing Xin and Dou Weir look at each other. So this is what Gu Qiao meant when she said that everyone will be satisfied with it.

It indeed is fair. It's just based on luck.

Everyone takes the paper and no one gets it. At last it's only Ye Qing Xin and Dou Weir that haven't drawn the paper.

Ye Qing Xin notices how Dou Weir is emotional. She finds it funny, she extends her hand wants to take the paper.

But when she is about to take it, the person-in-charge passes it to Dou Weir. He says: “You first.”

Ye Qing Xin is startled but she is okay with it.

Dou Weir gets the empty paper too.

The person-in-charge smiles and doesn't let Ye Qing Xin take the paper. He just tells her: “Congrats, you are the luckiest. Isla said that she will here at 1 p.m. You are responsible to treat her.”

Then he leaves.

There's nothing to do before it. She just tidies up her clothes. Dou Weir takes her to the audience stage to look at the stage. There're models who are trying the stage

Dou Weir clicks her tongue: “It's really great. No wonder a lot of women want to be model. They can wear a special clothes. Everyone is watching them. It's so exciting. If not let me change my profession to be a model than designer. With my body, maybe I'll be popular.”

Ye Qing Xin sees that Dou Weir starts to dream. She couldn't resist to break it. “If you trip, everyone will also make fun of you.”

Dou Weir: “……….”
