Prestigious Family Marriage: Uncle vs Young Wife-Chapter 23
The waiter takes three of them to a private room.
The time they order, Dou Weir considers Ye Qing Xin’s injury and order light-taste food.
Jing Bo Yuan glances at her.
Dou Weir is surprised and explains: “Xin Xin’s head is injured, she shouldn’t eat a spicy food.”
She wants to show off her own considerate attitude too.
Indeed, Jing Bo Yuan smiles after hearing her explanation.
Dou Weir becomes even more elated.
She just thinks that Jing Bo Yuan has interest with her.
Ye Qing Xin sits down quietly and watches both of them.
Jing Bo Yuan looks at her then and asks: “Why aren’t you ordering?’
Ye Qing Xin says calmly: “Weir has ordered it.”
Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t force her.
During the wait, Dou Weir excuses herself to the restroom.
She is different from Ye Qing Xin. Ye Qing Xin never does makeup. Dou Weir loves to do simple make up, although she is pretty.
Dou Weir wants to arrange her makeup. Dou Weir looks her face at the mirror. She smiles satisfyingly.
She has feeling toward Jing Bo Yuan.
Jing Bo Yuan has money, appearance, and power. He is mature and charismatic. It’s easy for him to get favorable impression and admiration from a woman. But the most important is he is not lascivious.
This kind of man is not easily to fall in love. But if the time he falls in love, he will be faithful. He will spoil his woman. It’s the thing that Dou Weir likes about him.
She uses to meet with powerful and rich men, but those men for her are too childish and playboy.
It’s better to have a man like Jing Bo Yuan. Tonight is her chance to get close to him, she needs to seize it.
Inside the private room.
Without Dou Weir, Ye Qing Xin is nervous.
Suddenly Jing Bo Yuan said: “Your injury should be well now right.”
Ye Qing Xin nods and thanks him: “I’m better, thank you Chief Jing. That money…. I need time to return it to you.”
Jing Bo Yuan smiles: “No need to rush it.”
Then it’s a silence.
After a while, Dou Weir comes back. The atmosphere between them turns light.
The dishes come out. During the meal, Dou Weir works hard to find a topic of discussion. Although she is smart but she doesn’t understand Jing Bo Yuan, she doesn’t know about his interests. She talked from branded car branded watch to current politics until she is lost. Jing Bo Yuan once in a while responds. Although it’s just minimum but it’s not awkward.
After the dinner in the elevator, Jing Bo Yuan encounters familiar people.
His Gu Gu (auntie) called Jing Si, his Gu Fu (uncle) called Ye Jun Dong, and his little nephew (Ye Lin).
Jing Bo Yuan greets them politely: “Auntie, Uncle.”
Ye Lin is an eight or nine little boy. He greets Jing Bo Yuan: “Biao Ge (Cousin).”
Jing Si is a fifty years old woman, but she treats herself well that she looks like a forty years old woman.
She looks at Ye Qing Xin and Dou Weir and smiles toward Jing Bo Yuan: “For the whole day, Ma alway worries about your marriage. I think she is too anxious. Jing Bo Yuan you too, why don’t you take your girlfriend home for ma to see?”
Her voice is soft but her gaze makes people feel unease.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t mind her words, she just looks at Ye Jun Dong.
Ye Jun Dong notices her gaze and looks back at him. Ye Jun Dong frowns, he feels strange to feel unfamiliar cold gaze from this girl.
Ye Jun Dong still looks similar as in the past.
Looking at his gaze, it’s clear that he doesn’t recognize her.
It’s been ten years. In ten years, he never returns even once. He never cares about her and brother, how can he recognize her?
Ye Qing Xin turns her gaze.
Sometimes people that are dead, are still alive. But those who lives, are dead.
Jing Bo Yuan frowns after listening to Jing Si’s words. Then he explains: “Gu Gu, you are good at joking. These two are Suo Suo’s classmates. We just met accidentally and had a dinner.”
Dou Weir greets both of Jing Si and Ye Jun Dong. Then she also easily compliments Ye Lin: “Your son is really handsome.”
Ye Qing Xin just lowers her head and doesn’t say anything.
Jing Si just watches them and smiles. She doesn’t say anything else.
The time the elevator door opens, a group of people gets inside the elevator.
Suddenly, Ye Lin screams in pain.
Jing Si and Ye Jun Dong immediately surrounds him. Ye Qing Xin says that something gets inside his eyes. Ye Jun Dong opens and blows his eyes with love. That is really a fatherly- loe.
Ye Qing Xin just watches it coldly.
They all goes out from the restaurant and parts ways.
On the way to the school, Ye Qing Xin acts coldly. Dou Weir, who is focusing on Jing Bo Yuan, could notice it too.
They get off the car and thank Jing Bo Yuan. They watch his car leave. Dou Weir asks Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin, what happened to you? Why I feel you are acting strangely?”
Ye Qing Xin is startled and smiles: “Really?” Is she showing it clearly?
Dou Weir clutches her face and jokes: “In your face, it is written “I am not happy”.
Ye Qing Xin laughs but doesn’t say anything.
In her memory, Ye Jun Dong acted alienated with her and brother. She thought it was because he was not good at relationship. But today she notice that he also can act warmly and lovingly. It’s just he couldn’t act it with her and her brother.
She recalls the moment and thinks that three of them are real family.
