Jing Bo Yuan hugs her tightly and uses his broad and warm embrace to comfort her.

Wen Ze Yan watches both of them. He thinks about what the neighbors said about Ye Qing Xin. They said that Jing Bo Yuan arranges the funeral of Zhou Qiao Qiao as her son-in-law. He even helped her to change into a funeral suit. He also replaces Ye Qing Xin to take care of the funeral hall for three days. He hasn’t even slept……

A rich and powerful man that can do this for a woman, it seems that he is committed.

Wen Ze Yan clutches his fist and leaves.

He used to think to protect her forever. He feels unable to accept that she will be protected by another man, but he is helpless and choice-less too.

The moment he mentioned breaking up and the time he turned his body to marry another girl. He has lost his right and chance.

The crematory ends at 11 a.m.

At T city, there’s a carrying a coffin to the cemetery ritual. The one that carrying the cinerary casket should be the filial son and the one that carries the portrait of the deceased should be the grandson.

Ye Qing Guo is arranged to hold Zhou Qiao Qiao’s cinerary casket and walks at the front. Zhou Qiao Qiao has no grandson so a distantly related grandnephew is arranged to follow behind Ye Qing Guo.

Ye Qing Xin walks at the very back. It’s quite a long row.

The cemetery is quite far.

They need to walk ten minutes. Ye Qing Guo is careless and stumbles. The cinerary casket rolls over.

Everyone is panic.

Ye Qing Guo sprains his leg and cries.

Song Fu ignores him and picks up the cinerary casket. Someone calls over: “Call after another nephew to help.”

If a son cannot do it, then let’s just ask the nephew.

But Zhou Qiao Qiao’s nephew is too young. Song Fu shakes his head and asks: “Isn’t there any that is older?”

Ye Qing Xin feels sad, her mother is dead, why can’t everything go smoothly?”

She comes forward: “Song Shu Shu, let me do it.”

Song Fu looks at her belly: “There’s still long way to go. I’m afraid your body cannot do it.”

Song Fu is worried. It’s almost passed the time. “This morning I see Zhou Shan, where is he? Does anyone have his phone number, call him.”

Someone says: “Zhou Shan’s son is sick so he goes to the hospital. I’m afraid he cannot come here.”

Zhou Fu looks at the crying Ye Qing Guo: “Then what should we do…”

Then he looks at Ye Qing Xin again: “are you sure you can do it?”

Ye Qing Xin nods and wants to take the cinerary casket: “I’m okay.”

It’s just another pair of hands takes it from her.

Jing Bo Yuan has changed his clothes today. He says: “Let me hold it.”

Song Fu hesitates: “It seems to be improper.”

Then someone speaks up: “As they say, a son-in-law is half-son. Mr Jing is her son-in-law so he is also her half-son. It’s not really improper. Let’s go. It’s not early anymore.”

All of them start to walk again.

Ye Qing Xin watches Jing Bo Yuan’s back and feels very thankful for him.

They arrive at the cemetery. The paper money is burnt. Ye Qing Xin kneels down to give respect for her mother. Ye Qing Guo also kneels down. He is a bit stupefied. He asks Ye Qing Xin: “Jie Jie, Song Shu Shu said that in the future, mama will live here and will not go home again, why? It’s too small here. How can she sleep here? Who will cook pork braised in brown sauce for Xiao Guo?”

Ye Qing Xin smiles, her tears fall down. “Xiao Guo be good, in the future follow Jie Jie together okay? Jie Jie will cook you pork braised in brown sauce and also buy you chocolate.”

Ye Qing Guo’s eyes turn bright. But he is a bit hesitant: “Then Mama will not be with us again?”

Ye Qing Xin strokes his head and smiles. “Mama will be with us at every moment and time.”

Ye Qing Guo is confused. It’s clear it’s been days since he met Mama. It’s clear that Song Shu Shu said that Mama will stay here and not go home again. How can Mama accompany him every time?

He still wants to ask more.

“Xin Xin.” Dou Weir calls after her.

Ye Qing Xin turns her head and notices Dou Weir and Jing Suo Suo. They look like they have endured the hardship of long journey. She is shocked: “Why are you here?”

Dou Weir’s eyes are red: “Why didn’t you tell me about this? If I didn’t meet Suo Suo and heard about it, I didn’t know that A Yi is passed away.”

The second day Zhou Qiao Qiao was at Jing City, Jing Bo Yuan let Zhou Qiao Qiao and Ye Qing Xin move to Nan Shan mansion so Dou Weir didn’t know that Ye Qing Xin has left Jing City for days.

JIng Suo Suo places a bouquet of white chrysanthemum. Dou Weir also did it.

Ye Qing Xin is thankful: “Thank you for coming. My Ma will be happy for this.”

Then they hold a feast at her house. It is held until one o’clock. Around two o’clock there’re only few guests left.

Jing Suo Suo and Dou Weir come over by plane together. The time they want to leave, they get on Ji Yi’s car.

Jing Fen Fen is in T city too but she never shows her face. Ye Qing Xin doesn’t care about it.

The hall is full of table and also the mess. Ye Qing Xin is standing outside and she feels so sad.

Song Fu and Jing Bo Yuan are calculating the bills. They calculate for the cash gift and also the expenses. Unexpectedly they have a surplus of five hundred thousand.

Song Fu cannot help but to sigh: “I’ve been living for so many years. It’s the first time I see a lot of money. Either for joyous occasion or funeral arrangements. Usually they only get limited cash gift. Mr Jing is really special.”

Jing Bo Yuan is silent, he uses to this kind of compliment.

Ye Qing Xin helps to tidy up the table. She raises her head and looks at Jing Bo Yuan. He is sitting on a stool and smoking. He looks like the male host of this occasion.

At this moment, she suddenly feels that she has assurance.

She loses her mother, but she still has this man.

This man in the future will be her root.

Song Jiu comes closer to Ye Qing Xin and says: “Your Big boss is really good to you. He helped you a lot. He really thinks he is Zhou Yi’s son? Do you know another man like him? Introduce one for me?”

Ye Qing Xin: “…..”

“Everyone saids that birds of a feather flock together, Xin Xin, beside Big Boss JIng, there’s should be a lot of precious manly man right?”

Looking at Ye Qing Xin’s quietness, Song Jiu says: “I also want to go to Jing City. I want to hook up a wealthy and influential man and go back here. Just like you. Those neighbors are jealous of you….”

Song Jiu remembers a funny thing: “did you see Du Da Ye (Uncle Du) before? He brought his eighteen or nineteen years old niece over and he purposely took her to Big Boss’s face. It’s too hilarious. He didn’t even consider her niece’s personality, how can she be compared to you.”

Ye Qing Xin: “……..”

She turns her head to look at Jing Bo Yuan. He is talking with Song Fu. He looks at the account book. He looks like a boss that is looking for mistakes.

At four o’clock, the house is finally tidied. Song Jiu, her family, relatives and friends are leaving one by one. The house turns empty.

Ye Qing Guo is sitting on a stool and daydreaming.

Ye Qing Xin goes beside Jing Bo Yuan and stis down.

Jing Bo Yuan throws his cigarette away.

Ye Qing Xin notices there’re several cigarette butts under his foot. These days he smokes a lot. He should be smoking to not fall asleep.

She feels sorry for him.

“Bo Yuan, go and sleep for a while. I’ll call you for dinner.”

Jing Bo Yuan clutches her hand and smiles: “I’m okay.”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t listen to him. She pulls him up to stand up. She takes her to her bedroom. She presses him down on the bed: “Go sleep for a while.”

She lifts the blanket and covers himself.

Jing Bo Yuan gazes at her serious little face and smiles: “It’s been days since I’d showered. I should be smelly. You don’t dislike me?”

Ye Qing Xin glares at him: “If I dislike you, then what’s your plan?”

She then pats his hand and says the way she discuss with a kid: “Hurry up sleep. I’ll wake you for dinner.”

Jing Bo Yuan couldn’t help but to smile. It’s been thirty years of life for him, it’s his first time to be persuaded that way.

He closes her eyes and sleeps.

He sleeps so soundly. Perhaps he is really tired.

Ye Qing Xin prepares the dinner later than usual. She finishes cooking at eight o’clock at night.

She places the dishes on the table and tells Ye Qing Guo to not eat first. Then she goes to the bedroom to wake Jing Bo Yuan.

The time she places her hand on his shoulder, Jing Bo Yuan wakes up directly.

“What time is it?”

“Eight.” Ye Qing Xin pulls him up.

“Are you okay?” Ye Qing Xin asks.

Jing Bo Yuan strokes her head: “em.”

They both comes to the dining room. They notice that Ye Qing Guo is stuffing in something inside his mouth. He is surprised to hear the door is opened. He closes his mouth and turns his head to look at the wall. He acts like nothing happens. But his cheek betrays him. His cheeks looks like a squirrel chin.

Ye Qing Xin comes over and says strictly: “Did you eat something?”

Ye Qing Guo shakes his head powerfully.

Ye Qing Xin pokes his cheek. She doesn’t know whether to be angry or laugh: “No, look at your face.”

Ye Qing Guo blushes and lowers his head. He spit the whole meatball out to his plate.

Ye Qing Xin, Jing Bo Yuan: “…………”

After the dinner, Ye Qing Xin wants to stand up and tidy up the table. Jing Bo Yuan is faster than her, he say to her: “Sit down.”

She watches him folding his sleeve and tidies up.

Then she asks him: “When will you go back to Jing City?”

Jing Bo Yuan says: “I’ll go back with you.”

Ye Qing Xin says: “I want to wait until my ma passes the first seven day then I will go back. I’ll wait until she eat the last bowl of rice, then I’ll leave.”

In T city, there’s a belief that the soul of the dead will go home at the first seven day. The family needs to prepare a bowl of rice. Ye Qing Xin doesn’t hope that the time her mother returns, she will see the empty house.

“You can go back first. I see that you have a lot of calls.”

Jing Bo Yuan washes the dishes and wipes his hand. He sits down beside her: “I already arrange the business matter. If there’s any trouble, Luo Feng can manage it. Don’t worry.”

Ye Qing Xin doesn’t say anything else. She plays with his hand.

It’s a silence. Then she says: “The time you had afternoon nap, I went to buy toiletries for you. Go have a shower and sleep again. These days sorry to trouble you so much. Thank you.”

Jing Bo Yuan raises his hand and strokes Ye Qing Xin’s face.

“No need to say thank you to me, it’s too estranged.”

Ye Qing Xin smiles and nods.

The time Jing Bo Yuan takes a shower, Ye Qing Xin takes out her laptop.

She remembers about Connie. Connie gave her a week. She has managed to finish it, there’s only a little detail left.

These days she didn’t forget about this, but she didn’t have heart to do it.

Now her mother has laid to rest. She shouldn’t delay it any further.

Although Connie agreed to give her few more days, but she doesn’t want to use her tolerance to turn herself to be undisciplined.

“Xiao Guo?” He asks when he comes out.

Ye Qing Xin still fixes her gaze on the computer. She just replies: “He is sleeping.”

Jing Bo Yuan comes behind her and holds her busy hands. He takes her to his embrace. He let her to regain herself.

Jing Bo Yuan places his chin on her shoulder: “Go take a shower. Do it tomorrow. It’s too late.”

“Just a while.”

“You want to switch it off yourselves, or do you want me to help you.”

Ye Qing Xin is somewhat unhappy.

Jing Bo Yuan says: “You don’t want to sleep, but the kid also wants to sleep.”

Mentioning the kid makes Ye Qing Xin surrenders. She switches off her computer and goes to take shower.

The time she is done and comes out of the restroom. She notices that Jing Bo Yuan is holding a book and laying on her little bed.

Ye Qing Xin asks him: “What are you reading?”

Jing Bo Yuan says: “Your writing.”

Ye Qing Xin is startled and looks over. It’s indeed her little notebook, it’s her elementary level work.

Jing Bo Yuan flips into a page with a title “My Papa”. “My Papa is Ye Jun Dong.”

Ye Qing Xin is shocked.

No one knows about her relationship with ye Jun dong.

She takes the notebook in a hurry: “It’s all kid’s nonsense talk. What’s so good to look at it.”

She doesn’t want Jing Bo Yuan to misunderstand her and Ye Jun Dong. She doesn’t want Jing Bo Yuan to despise her because she is illegitimate daughter of Zhou Qiao Qiao.

Jing Bo Yuan is calm and he pulls Ye Qing Xin to sit down on the edge of the bed. He takes the towel from her hand and helps her to dry her hair.

He doesn’t ask anything. Ye Qing Xin is so nervous.

After a while, she couldn’t help but to ask: “Do you have any question?”

It’s a silence. Then Ye Qing Xin just confesses: “Actually, our Papa that abandoned us that I said to you, you’ve met him, you are closed to him…….”

Jing Bo Yuan doesn’t say anything. He is listening to her.

Ye Qing Xin raises her head to look at him. She somehow could guess that he already knows about this?

She remembers that during her meeting with Yu Qing You and horse riding field. Yu Qing You had told Jing Bo Yuan that her and Ye Jun Dong meeting in public. Jing Bo Yuan didn’t ask anything, he didn’t say anything. He also said to her that she doesn’t need to explain anything…….

Now when she thinks about it, he should know about it so he doesn’t care because there’s nothing to worry about.

“You already know that Ye Jun Dong is my Papa?” Ye Qing Xin asks directly.

Jing Bo Yuan strokes her head, he feels her hair is drier than before. He puts down the towel and takes the comb to comb her hair.

“Are you?”

Jing Bo Yuan replies: “em.”

“He told you?”

Jing Bo Yuan didn’t answer.

Actually the time Yu Qing You sent that video, he already asked someone to investigate it.

At the beginning, he was shocked to find out that his Gu Fu (Uncle) is his father’s girlfriend.

Ye Qing Xin just takes his silence as his answer.

“Did he tell you anything else?” Whether Ye Jun Dong said that he is not her biological father, she is Zhou Qiao Qiao’s illegitimate daughter?

Did Ye Jun Dong tell Jing Bo Yuan that Ye Qing Guo is Tai Zheng Ting’s illegitimate son?

Jing Bo Yuan notices her nervousness. He hugs her and just asks: “What should he tell me?”

Ye Qing Xin: “…..”

Ye Qing Xin looks at his eyes but she couldn’t make out anything.

“It’s late. Let’s sleep.”

He turns off the light and holds her to sleep.

Ye Qing Xin is covered by his warm embrace. She feels warm and safe. She suddenly has an urge to tell him everything.

Ye Qing Xin hugs him back: “Are you asleep?”

“Em.”

“Actually Ye Jun Dong….. is not my biological father……”

“I also didn’t know about it. I just hated him for abandoning us. I hated him that he could just leave. He changed our family to be in very bad condition. I resented him to let me lived a live that dependent on the whims of others…..”

Those years of depending of Tai Zheng Ting for living, it’s not easy. Li Shu Fen is ruthless woman behind a gentle appearance.

“I know it the time Xiao Guo was in trouble. I came to him to ask for help. I just know that I am not his daughter, even Xiao Guo is not his son.”

“At the beginning, I had trouble to accept it. But then I could understand him. If it’s me, two kids aren’t mine. I also will choose to divorce and wouldn’t care for the kids……”

Ye Qing Xin laughs: “It’s too hilarious right?”

Jing Bo Yuan holds her close: “In the future you’ll have me, it’s enough.”

Ye Qing Xin says: “Em.”

She says: “I thought you will….. underestimate me.”

Jing Bo Yuan smiles: “How can I.”

Ye Qing Xin closes her eyes to enjoy this moment.

When she is sleepy, Jing Bo Yuan suddenly speaks up: “Wen Ze Yan is your first love?”

Ye Qing Xin turns sober and looks at his face.

Ye Qing Xin thought that he forgets about this.

Jing Bo Yuan continues without her answer: “In the past your taste is not really good, now you have improved.”

Ye Qing Xin: “……….”
