Jing Yi watches Wen Ren Xi for a while and stands up. He goes to stand up in front of her.
“You already fifty years old, you are not five years old anymore. You should know how to restrain your own action.” Wen Ren Xi raises her head and looks at him. “I already explained everything to you very clearly. What do you want to do?”
Jing Yi seems to not listen to her words, he takes a ring from his pocket. Wen Ren Xi looks at it.
The ring has a heart diamond on it. It’s shining so brightly.
Jing Yi says nothing and takes her hand. He puts the ring on her ring finger.
The size is suited her well.
Wen Ren Xi watches him put it on her, she watches how Jing Yi lowers his head and kisses her hand.
Jing Yi says nothing else and hugs her tightly. Then he just turns his body and leaves
“Jing Yi.” Wen Ren Xi calls after him.
Jing Yi stops.
“For me now, you already not the most important person for me, I have someone that I love even more.”
Wen Ren Xi’s words make him feel so cold.
“Now whatever you do for me has no significance and meaning. So please stop.” Wen Ren Xi takes off the ring and comes forward to give it back to him. “Don’t come here again.”
Jing Yi looks at the ring on her hand. This is the ring that he bought for her for their engagement. She used to wear it everyday. She cherished it so much as she was afraid to lose it. After the wedding ceremony, she returned it to him.
“It belongs to you.” Jing Yi doesn’t take it. He holds her arm.
Wen Ren Xi closes her eyes.
She really wants to make it clear wit him. Su Mei is too important for his heart. She knows it clearly, clearer than anyone. Though Su Mei is dead, but she is the light for him. But her, it’s possible in the future she will be like “a mosquito that sucks the blood from him”.
It’s not what she expects.
This lifetime Su Mei occupies half-part of his heart.
She feels like she will be crazy to think that her husband has another woman in his heart.
Love is about possessiveness and exclusiveness. In the past, she was overestimated herself. She thought that she can be ignorant.
“It is not mine, will you take it or not?” Wen Ren Xi says to her. “If you don’t take it, I’ll throw it away.”
“Xiao Xi?” Jing Yi watches Wen Ren Xi’s eyes. He cannot see any hint of unwillingness to let go.
There’s nothing.
He used to see her love for him, but now it’s nothing.
“Xiao Xi....” Except calling her name, he doesn’t know what else he should do.
She just throws away the ring.
“Ding–” The ring is gone.
“We are done, there’s no chance to start over again.” Wen Ren Xi just leaves her.
Jing Yi looks over toward where she threw the ring away. He stands there for quite sometime and goes over to take it. Then he clutches it.
After that time, everyday Jing Yi will come over and sit at Wen Ren Xi’s teahouse for a while. He will watch her quietly and never disturbs her. He will leave before the teahouse closes.
If he doesn’t look at her that intense, probably Wen Ren Xi will forget about his existence.
Sometimes he will come over with Xi Fan. Xi Fan is already twenty years old. She has shown sign that she is turning old and feeble. Recently it’s getting clearly that she is not glowing like before, she turns skinnier that before.
Every time Xi Fan comes over, she will run over and watches at her owner nor too close or too far. She just watches her.
Wen Ren Xi’s belly is getting bigger, it’s hard to hide it. Several time when she comes home, Old Madame Wen Ren looks at her belly suspiciously. But Wen Ren Xi makes an excuse that she is getting fatter. But she knows that Old Madame Wen Ren is an experienced one, she cannot hide this matter for along time.
Today.
It’s finally Christmas Eve.
Ye Qing Xin, Jing Suo Suo and Dou Weir go together to stroll around. On the way, they bump into Song Xian Yu, Ji Lin Yuan, and Ji Nian Yu. Song Xian Yu is in the same age as Ye Qing Xin. They are compatible for each other, so Song Xian Yu just send away Ji Lin Yuan and Ji Nian Yu to go home first.
“Take care of yourself.” Ji Lin Yuan strokes Song Xian Yu’s head.
“I got it.” Song Xian Yu pouts and looks impatient.
Ji Lin Yuan doesn’t say anything and just smiles toward her.
The time Ji Lin Yuan has left, Jing Suo Suo looks at Song Xian Yu. “Si Biao Sao, Si Biao Ge cares for you, but why are you look unhappy? I remember that three years ago, you were chasing ager Si Biao Ge shamelessly. Indeed before you got him, he was a gem, but now he has turned into a “straw”.”
Song Xian Yu smiles. “Now he is still a gem.”
“Ay, let me ask you. How did you confess to him?” Jing Suo Suo asks.
Song Xian Yu thinks about it and answers: “That time..... I wrote love letter to him.”
Jing Suo Suo, Ye Qing Xin: “......”
Three years ago, Ji Lin Yuan was around thirty four or thirty five years old. How can she write a love letter to that old man?
“Really? How can with that low method?” JIng Suo Suo imagines it.
“Yi....”
Then they all go to buy things that they want to buy. When they are done, they go to visit Wen Ren Xi’s teahouse.
Ye Qing Xin doesn’t drink tea so Wen Ren Xi as usual serves her a fresh juice.
“Xi Jie, give me a glass too.” Song Xian Yu smiles.
“I remember that you love Tieguanyin (a variety of oolong tea). I have a newly come one. I already asked someone to prepare it for you.” Today the teahouse isn’t as crowded.
“I love Tieguanyin but now I cannot drink it.”
“Doesn’t you stop breastfeed Nian Nian?” Ye Qing Xin asks.
Song Xian Yu strokes her belly and smiles. “I want to give birth to the second one.”
“You are pregnant?” Ye Qing XIn is surprised. Song Xian Yu’s belly is still flat, there’s still no bump.
Song Xian Yu: “It’s just half-month old.”
“Congrats.” Everyone congratulates er.
“Is it twin or triplet?”
“It should be only a baby.” Song Xian Yu says: “There’s only one from the ultrasonography result.”
“You should have a good rest, don’t be too tired.” Wen Ren Xi smiles. “Okay, you guys enjoy it. I have to do the account book. I’ll leave first.”
She turns her body to leave. Less than two steps, suddenly a female guest suddenly stands up and turns her body too. Wen Ren Xi doesn’t notice it, she is bumped till her body moves backward.....
Ye Qing Xin notices it and holds Wen Ren Xi’s body.
Jing Suo Suo look at the lady and says: “What happened? You bumped into someone?”
That female guest is holding the phone, she says worriedly: “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It’s an accident. I have an urgent matter. I... are you okay?’
“It’s okay, I’m okay. Just leave.” Wen Ren Xi says.
She is okay but she just feels surprised.
The time Ye Qing Xin holds Wen Ren Xi, her right hand accidentally touched Wen Ren Xi’s belly. Her belly...... it swells, it’s hard. It feels familiar.
“Xi Jie, your belly... you...” It’s clear that Wen Ren Xi is pregnant, it seems that she is four or five month pregnant.
Wen Ren Xi and Jing Yi has been separated for three months. She concludes that this should be Jing Yi’s kid.
Ye Qing Xin is surprised that Wen Ren Xi can hide this well.
Since they will have kid, why should she be stubborn and want a divorce? Jing Yi clearly knows he makes a mistake.
Wen Ren Xi gives a look at Ye Qing Xin.
Ye Qing Xin calms herself down. Jing Suo Suo asks: “What happened to Xi Jie’s belly?” She wants to stroke it.
“I’m okay.” Wen Ren Xi moves away. She says: “I’m okay, just enjoy your drink. I’ll leave first.”
Ye Qing Xin is thinking about that, and looks at Wen Ren Xi from time to time.
“Xin Xin, why do you keep on looking at Xi Jie?” Jing Suo Suo notices something is wrong.
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “Nothing.”
“What do you think of my suggestion?” Jing Suo Suo asks. She was asking about gather together during the Christmas tomorrow. It’s been a long time since they gathered and played together.
Ye Qing Xin smiles: “I’m okay. Weir, are you free tomorrow? If you are, then you also need to come.”
“Ay Ay, this is a good idea. I’ll call He Yun Xiao to come over too. That time we will play truth or dare. I want to avenge what he did when I was little.” Jing Suo Suo says.
Dou Weir shakes her head. “No, I have something to do.”
“Ah?” Jing Suo Suo is disappointed. “You are uninteresting, I want to avenge him.”
“Weir is just a new model. We should understand if she is busy.” Ye Qing Xin says. “It’s getting late, when will you guys go home?”
Song Xian Yu’s phone suddenly rings. From her words, they can guess easily that the caller Ji Lin Yuan. He should be asking her whereabout and he wants to pick her up.
Indeed, the time she hangs up. She says: “He will come over to pick me up.”
“Ay, it’s good to have someone pick you up.” Jing Suo Suo says, ” I need to drive my own car.”
Jing Suo Suo asks Ye Qing Xin: “Xin Xin, why don’t you take a driving examination? If you pass, Da Ge will buy a sport car. Lamborghini just launches a new limited edition sport car. It’s too cool. It’s not that expensive.”
Ye Qing Xin: “..... I’ll think about it later.”
After a while, Ji Lin Yuan appears in the teahouse. That man is too remarkable that he attracts a lot of attention.
Jing Suo Suo looks at him and the atmosphere around the teahouse. “A powerful and rich man, is indeed too fascinating. It’s now wonder there’s someone that pestered him that year.”
Song Xian Yu looks at Ji Lian Yu, her eyes show her admiration toward him. She stands up and walks toward Ji Lian Yu. She holds his arm and says to Ye Qing Xin and others: “We will leave first. Bye-bye.”
Ye Qing Xin’s phone rings too. She could guess the caller is Jing Bo Yuan.
Jing Suo Suo is annoyed by their intimacy, she cannot endure it anymore. “I’ll leave too. Weir, will you leave too? I can send you home.”
Both of them leave.
Ye Qing Xin waits for Jing Bo Yuan. She goes to the cashier to talk with Wen Rne Xi.
“Xi Jie, why are you hiding this from everyone?” Ye Qing Xin asks directly.
Wen Ren Xi answers: “It’s not a suitable time for everyone to know. You should keep this as a secret for me.”
“But...... wait till it’s getting better. The loose clothes wouldn’t be able to hide it, why should you hide it? When the child is born, everyone will also know it. You cannot keep this forever.”
