It was the time of the day when the sun was the hottest, and after only standing outside for a short while, Ye Qingxin was already sweating slightly on the tip of her nose, and the sun above her head made her dizzy.
Gu Jiao didn't know if she could see that Ye Qingxin was unwell, and said: "Get in the car quickly, the sun is so hot, you can't be exposed to the sun." She looked at Dou Weier, "You are Xinxin's friend, help her into the car."
Dou Wei'er didn't know Gu Jiao, so she didn't know whether she should go up or not, so she just looked at Ye Qingxin.
The sun above her head really made Ye Qingxin uncomfortable, and she also felt more powerless. I don't know if it was an illusion, but she seemed to feel a little uncomfortable in her stomach.
She didn't hesitate too much, and smiled at Gujiao, "Don't delay your business."
Gu Jiao smiled, her eyes seemed to glance over Ye Qingxin's lower abdomen unintentionally, "Don't delay, come up."
Ye Qingxin thanked her, and got into the car with Dou Weier.
Originally, Ye Qingxin wanted to sit in the co-pilot, but she wanted to sit in the back seat with Dou Weier, so Gu Jiao felt like she was their driver, and it seemed that they didn't understand etiquette.
Gu Jiao didn't mind, she insisted on letting Ye Qingxin sit in the back, the reason being that the back seat was safe.
Ye Qingxin smiled, not insisting.
"Xinxin, where are you going?" Gu Jiao asked while restarting the car.
Ye Qingxin replied: "Sihe Shangyuan."
Sihe Shangyuan is well-known in the capital, a high-end community, a place favored by rich people.
Gu Jiao's hands on the steering wheel paused for a moment, and then returned to normal.
The car hits the road.
The atmosphere was a little silent, Ye Qingxin leaned on the seat and didn't want to talk, the discomfort in her stomach was relieved by the air-conditioning in the car, Dou Weier and Gu Jiao didn't know each other well, so there was nothing to say.
However, with Gu Jiao around, it seems that she will never be in the cold. She is not the type who chatters endlessly, but she can always easily find topics to talk about.
"Xinxin, this friend of yours looks pretty, what's his name?" Gu Jiao asked, her tone was natural and her attitude was familiar, the compliments that came out of her mouth would not make people feel abrupt or deliberate, and it was very comfortable to listen to.
Before Ye Qingxin could answer, Dou Weier said directly: "My name is Dou Weier, and Xinxin is a college classmate and roommate, how about you?"
The woman looking at the driver's cab is about twenty-five or six years old. She is well dressed and well behaved. She should not be an ordinary person. Dou Weier looked at Gu Jiao calmly.
Gu Jiao chewed on Dou Wei'er's name, and said with a smile: "The name is a little familiar, I seem to have heard it somewhere, my name is Gu Jiao, and you are about the same age as Xin Xin, just call me Sister Jiao Jiao just like Xin Xin."
Gu Jiao, Dou Wei'er frowned, she also felt that Gu Jiao's name sounded familiar, she lowered her head and thought for a while, then suddenly remembered that one of the persons in charge of this fashion design competition seemed to be named Gu Jiao.
"You are the person in charge of the Zhongshi Cup Fashion Design Competition hosted by Liangyan"
Speaking of the competition, Gu Jiao also remembered that she had seen Dou Weier's name on the shortlist of entries, and the jury's score was quite high.
"You and Xinxin will work together tomorrow."
These words can be regarded as confirming Dou Weier's guess.
Dou Weier's eyes are shining brightly, "It is said on the Internet that i will attend the catwalk tomorrow, I don't know if it is true, if it is true, then whose work i will wear tomorrow"
There are a total of ten shortlisted entries. I don't know who i will win in the end.
"i's status in the fashion industry is not low. Most of the clothes she wears on the runway have become popular styles. Whoever works that i wears will have a higher chance of winning. Is this unfair to other contestants? I'm afraid those who don't get i's blessing will have opinions."
Dou Weier's words were a bit out of character, Gu Jiao smiled and said in an official tone: "Don't worry, everyone will be satisfied by then."
Dou Wei'er wanted to ask something more, but Gu Jiao had already changed the subject lightly, "Xinxin, I heard that Grandma Tang said that you have one, congratulations."
Ye Qingxin smiled: "Thank you." After a pause, she smiled and said, "I didn't expect Grandma Yan to know."
Gu Jiao: "Grandma Jing can't wait to tell the world that she is going to be a grandma. I'm afraid the outside world already knows everything that should be known."
Thinking of Mrs. Jing's happy look, Ye Qingxin smiled unconsciously.
Gu Jiao asked casually and with concern: "When are you going to get married?"
Ye Qingxin drooped her eyelashes, thinking about it, there was nothing to hide, so she said truthfully, "The wedding date is set on the sixth day of October."
Gu Jiao's fingers holding the steering wheel tightened slightly, her knuckles turned white, she focused on the road ahead, her face showed no expression, but her voice was full of joy and sincerity, "Congratulations, I will definitely give you a big red envelope when the time comes."
Ye Qingxin smiled: "Thank you."
The car stopped in front of one of the buildings in Sihe Shangyuan, Ye Qingxin leaned forward slightly, "Sister Jiaojiao, go up and have a cup of tea."
This invitation is half polite and half sincere.
Everyone has already arrived at the door of the house. If you don’t invite people to sit down, it is because you are not polite enough, and if they are kind enough to send you home, you should always express some gratitude.
Gu Jiao smiled and refused: "No, I have an appointment with someone to meet for a while, so I won't disturb your rest, goodbye."
Seeing the red car leaving in the dust, Dou Weier couldn't help saying to Ye Qingxin: "You don't know how to grasp such a good opportunity."
"what chance"
Dou Weier was quite angry and said indisputably: "The person in charge of the event, it seems that you have a good relationship, why didn't you just let her arrange for i to wear your work?"
Ye Qingxin smiled: "Liangyan has its own arrangements for this matter, so I have no room to comment on it. Besides, there is no free lunch in the world. You still don't understand this truth."
Said the two took the elevator upstairs.
After listening to her words, Dou Weier thought of her experience during this period of time, and was harmed by Shiying Design to the current miserable situation. Wasn't it because she was lucky enough to eat the free lunch cast by Shiying
The elevator slowly ascended.
Dou Weier turned her head and glanced at the immature but mature and intelligent girl next to her. Ye Qingxin was obviously as old as herself, and this year was only a double tenth year, but in some things, Ye Qingxin's performance and perspective looked like a woman in her thirties who had gone through thousands of sails.
In comparison, I was ridiculously childish.
Thinking of Ye Qingxin's words that I have no room to comment, and recalling the inappropriate words she said in the car before, she suddenly felt her cheeks heat up, feeling ashamed.
No wonder Gu Jiao didn't pay attention to her at that time, she just casually said something official, and then changed the subject.
Ye Qingxin noticed Dou Weier's ever-changing expression from the corner of her eye, and she didn't say anything, some things need to be experienced personally to become experience, no matter how much others say, it won't help.
Although Dou Wei'er's family conditions are not good, her grandma spoiled her when she was in good health in the early years. It's only in recent years that her grandma's health has been poor, and her uncle and aunt got up to domineering.
Ye Qingxin, on the other hand, has tasted the bitterness of the world since she was ten years old. She remembers the first year when her father abandoned them. For some reason, there were rumors that Zhou Qiaoqiao had killed someone. Although she couldn't remember who her mother killed in the rumors, she remembered many scenes of people throwing stones at his house across the yard.
The person who threw stones most violently was a widowed old man in his sixties whom Zhou Qiaoqiao once helped.
Ye Qingxin also brought food to the old man once, and the old man held Ye Qingxin in his arms and wept and said she was a good child.
That was the first time she saw what it meant to be overthrown by others, and what it meant to be ungrateful.
Later, it was Wen Zeyan's betrayal.
Later, it was Tai Zhengting's human face and animal heart.
All these make Ye Qingxin instinctively maintain vigilance and duty in interpersonal relationships.
Don't believe in sudden good intentions, and don't dream of things that don't belong to you.
In fact, Ye Qingxin did the same to Jing Boyuan at the beginning.
She always subconsciously refused his help to her intentionally or unintentionally; aware of her thoughts on him, she chose to stay away.
Later, the two of them developed to this stage, which Ye Qingxin never dared to think about before. Even thinking about it now, it still seems like a dream.
During dinner, Ye Qingxin received a call from Jing Boyuan, one was to check whether she had eaten on time, and the other was to tell her when to go home at night.
Just after hanging up the phone, Mrs. Jing's call came in.
"Xinxin, have you had dinner yet?"
Madam Jing's voice was full of joy, and Ye Qingxin seemed to be able to see the smile on her face through the screen.
"I'm eating." Ye Qingxin smiled back.
"Eat more. Now that you are two people, nutrition is the most important thing. Is Xiao Zhang's cooking still suitable for your appetite? If not, I will find you a cook."
"Grandma, Aunt Zhang's cooking is very good, don't worry about it."
"Well, if you need anything, you must call and tell grandma, don't be polite, ah, I'm going to be grandma all of a sudden, this surprise is a bit sudden, I really want to show off to those old guys, I'm going to be grandma too, let them all know that the children and grandchildren of our old Jing family are not vegetarian"
As she said that, Mrs. Jing's upsurge suddenly subsided, and she said sullenly: "But Ah Yuan refused to let me go out and say that you must not let outsiders know that you are pregnant. I was so full that I had nowhere to say anything. I really want to see those old guys' envious and jealous faces right now, oh hehe."
At the end he laughed to himself again.
Ye Qingxin frowned, she thought of what Gu Jiao said in the car in the afternoon, what she said to Mrs. Jing, it was obviously contradictory, after thinking about it, she asked calmly, "Grandma, you didn't tell Grandma Yan about my pregnancy?"
Mrs. Jing said: "No, A Yuan asked me not to tell anyone, otherwise I won't hug my great-grandson when he is born. Now the only ones who know you are pregnant are me and your grandfather. Even A Yuan's father doesn't know that he is going to be a grandfather."
Mrs. Jing said some more words, but Ye Qingxin just listened quietly.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingxin vaguely felt that something was wrong. Mrs. Jing didn't tell the public about her pregnancy. Not many people knew that she was pregnant. How did Gu Jiao know
Did Cheng Ruyu say it
&nbs
p;Probably not, Jing Boyuan even threatened his grandma and grandpa not to let them talk about it to the outside world, and he would definitely not miss Cheng Ruyu's side.
But soon, Ye Qingxin stopped worrying about how Gu Jiao knew she was pregnant, and replaced it with another question.
Why doesn't Jing Boyuan let outsiders know that she is pregnant because he is worried that it will damage his reputation
"Xinxin, the food is cold when you say anything." Dou Weier's hand holding the chopsticks shook in front of Ye Qingxin's eyes.
Ye Qing came back to his senses, stuffed a piece of rice into his mouth, and said absent-mindedly: "Oh, it's nothing, I suddenly remembered something."
She didn't have much appetite at first, but now she suddenly tasted like wax, and she didn't know what she was eating.
Thinking about it, Jing Boyuan is in charge of Boway Group alone, so her image and reputation are naturally very important. If the news about her being pregnant out of wedlock gets out, it will definitely damage Jing Boyuan's meticulous entrepreneurial image.
Knowing that what he did was right, Ye Qingxin also knew that she should understand, but her chest felt tight.
It seems that her child is something shameful and needs to be hidden.
That feeling made her breathless.
night.
Ye Qingxin was lying on the bed, listening to the pendulum clock in the living room, counting the time.
During dinner, Jing Boyuan said to go home before ten o'clock in the evening.
The pendulum clock struck nine, Ye Qing thought, there is still an hour.
After a while, before the pendulum clock struck ten, there was a sound from the porch.
Immediately afterwards, she heard the sound of the car keys being placed on the shoe cabinet, and then, the slight sound of the man's footsteps dragging his clothes indoors. Judging from the sound, it should be walking towards the coffee table. Sure enough, a moment later, there was a crisp sound of a steel watch being placed on the coffee table outside.
Footsteps came towards the master bedroom.
Ye Qingxin quickly closed her eyes, pretending to be in a deep sleep, before the lights could be turned off in time.
The man opened the door of the master bedroom, looked at the person on the bed for a moment, raised his hand to turn off the light, and then closed the door again to go out.
Ye Qingxin waited for the door to close before she opened her eyes. Her heart was pounding with nervousness, and the quilt under her hand was pulled into a ball.
Even though she didn't meet Jing Boyuan's eyes, she could still clearly feel his gaze falling on her, and the palpitating feeling didn't diminish at all.
After about ten minutes, Ye Qingxin heard footsteps again.
She buried her face in the air-conditioning quilt.
Jing Boyuan was naked, with wet hair, firm chest and abdominal muscles, and a white bath towel around his waist. He opened the door without turning on the light, walked towards the cloakroom with the light from outside, and quickly got dressed and came out.
Ye Qingxin felt the edge of the bed sinking, and the man sat down.
She closed her eyes, but she could clearly feel the man's gaze. She didn't know how long it had passed, maybe only a few seconds, or maybe a few minutes. After all, she couldn't pretend anymore. She moved her body and pretended to wake up. With a lazy voice, she reached out to turn on the light, "You're back!"
Jing Boyuan stretched out his long arms, she turned on the light first, walked to the door and closed the master bedroom door, came back to lie down, and stretched out his hand to pull the girl into his arms, "I'm yelling at you"
Ye Qingxin naturally put her arms around the man's strong waist, her cheek pressed against his chest, the man's breath above her head was mixed with the faint smell of tobacco and wine, and there was a strong heartbeat in her ears.
She sniffled. "You're smoking again."
Jing Boyuan smiled and pinched the tip of her nose, his deep eyes revealing affection, "Dog nose."
Ye Qingxin opened his hand, and subconsciously retorted: "You are the one"
When she raised her head and met the man's deep eyes, the word "dog nose" was stuck in her throat and she couldn't say it out.
There is such a kind of person in this world, no matter how familiar you are with him, no matter how indulgent he is to you, you can't act recklessly in front of him.
Ye Qingxin fell asleep, her ears pressed against his chest again, through the fabric of his nightgown, she could feel the tightness of the man's chest muscles.
Then she thought that Jing Boyuan didn't want outsiders to know about her pregnancy, even though she already had the answer in her heart, she couldn't help but wanted to ask it herself.
"I heard from grandma that you don't want outsiders to know about my pregnancy, why?"
Are you worried about affecting your image and reputation
Ye Qingxin didn't say the latter sentence.
But the loss that was trapped between her brows and eyes did not escape the eyes on the top of her head.
Jing Boyuan held her tightly in his arms, "What are you thinking about? I just didn't want others to think that I married you because of my child."
When two people get married, whether they marry because of love or because of children, it feels completely different to outsiders. Obviously, if two people get married because of love, they are more likely to be respected and blessed by others.
Especially when Jing Boyuan and Ye Qingxin are so disparate in identity, status, and age, if outsiders know that Ye Qingxin is pregnant out of wedlock, if they don't say anything in front of them, there will probably be a lot of speculation and abuse behind their backs.
Jing Boyuan did this not only to safeguard Ye Qingxin's dignity and reputation, but also to establish her status in the Jing family.
After hearing Jing Boyuan's words, Ye Qingxin was slightly taken aback.
She understood the hidden meaning in his words.
She only thought about Jing Boyuan's concealment of her pregnancy in order to maintain his own image and reputation, only thought that this child was hidden like this, she was unhappy, but she forgot that she was only twenty and conceived with a thirty-four-year-old man without getting married.
Gossip always hurts people.
"Boyuan" Ye Qingxin burrowed into Jing Boyuan's arms and hugged his waist tightly.
The suffocation that had been stagnant in his chest for several hours was like a cloud at this moment, blown away by the wind.
"Thank you," she said.
After a moment of silence, she said again, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
Jing Boyuan smiled, didn't speak, bowed his head and kissed the girl's hairline, leaned slightly and turned off the light, "It's getting late, go to sleep."
In the darkness, Ye Qingxin's voice was unusually soft, "Tomorrow I'm competing, do you want to watch?" After asking, the girl was a little annoyed, "Why did I forget to buy tickets for the match, it starts tomorrow, there should be no tickets left now."
Hearing the frustration in the girl's words, Jing Boyuan patted the girl's bare and tender arm, and comforted him: "Of course I will go to your competition. Don't worry, I will definitely be able to enter if I want to."
After a pause, he added: "Just try your best tomorrow, don't be nervous, and don't be too tired."
Ye Qingxin felt relieved, "Yes."
the next day.
Liangyan arranged the final at 2:00 p.m., with four steps in the process: the designer of the ready-to-wear show explained his work on the spot, the jury scored and the visitors voted on the spot.
Jing Boyuan had a meeting in the morning, and arranged for Master Lu to pick up Ye Qingxin, and by the way, be a coolie, helping Ye Qingxin carry the suitcase.
Ye Qingxin and Dou Weier went to the National Stadium after breakfast. When they arrived, the other eight contestants had also arrived and were busy with their own affairs.
Ye Qingxin and Dou Weier found a bust model to support their ready-made clothes and ironed them with a hanging iron.
After a while, the person in charge came over, telling them over and over again like a director what to do, and then brought a handful of papers, saying that the international model i would choose whose sample clothes to wear by drawing lots.
Ye Qingxin and Dou Weier looked at each other for a while, yesterday Gu Jiao mysteriously said that there was a way to satisfy everyone, and it turned out to be this way.
But if you think about it carefully, this is indeed the most fair, it all depends on your luck, otherwise no matter whose sample clothes Liang Yan arranges for i to wear, other people will definitely not be convinced.
The person in charge said that whoever draws a note with i written on it will cooperate with i next.
The lottery was drawn one by one, and all the way down, everyone's slips were blank, and only Ye Qingxin and Dou Weier remained in the end.
Ye Qingxin saw Dou Weier excited but didn't dare to make a move, it was a little funny, she stretched out her hand and wanted to smoke first.
It's just that her hand was about to touch the note, but the person in charge moved her hand in front of Dou Weier and said, "You go first."
Ye Qingxin took an empty hand, was stunned for a moment, then withdrew her hand as if nothing had happened, although doubts flashed in her heart, but she didn't take it too seriously.
Dou Weier drew a blank note.
The person in charge smiled slightly, and instead of making Ye Qing's heart twitch, he said directly to her, "Congratulations, you are the luckiest person, I said to come over at one o'clock in the afternoon, and you will be responsible for receiving her."
After speaking, he said a few very official words of comfort to everyone, and then left.
Nothing to do in the morning, after ironing the clothes, Dou Weier took Ye Qingxin to visit the runway in front of her. Whether it was the stage or the lighting, it could be seen that the beautiful face really sacrificed its money, not to mention the quality, the design of the runway alone was ingenious, and it looked a bit like the runway style of the International Fashion Week.
Dou Weier was stunned, "Calling shows in this kind of place look very classy. No wonder so many women want to be models. Wearing unique clothes, with the show lights above their heads, their faces are so white that even a black spot can't be seen. Accepting the gaze of everyone in the audience, that feeling makes my blood boil when I think about it. If I don't want to be a designer, I can change my career to be a model. Just because of my body, I will become popular in the fashion industry."
Seeing her dreaming again, Ye Qingxin couldn't help pouring cold water on her: "When you wrestle, the people below will also laugh at you."
Dou Weier: ""
