Chapter 31: Do You Want My Money? (1/2)
Xin Qing glanced at Ying Qingcang as she picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on.
This damned woman!
He felt that Xin Qing was doing this on purpose, just to make him angry. So he leaned over to look at Xin Qing, whose eyes were closed and whose skin was shiny.
”Open your eyes.” he ordered.
Xin Qing did not make a move.
”If you dare to close your eyes, I'll carry you to the balcony.”
Xin Qing clenched her teeth, and stared at him: ”Despicable.”
”I'm despicable? What about you? What did you promise in order to participate in the competition? ”
So it was because of this …
Xin Qing got to understand, although she didn't know how Ying Qingcang know about it. Did he think that she would help Xin Pengfei?
She looked at the ceiling in a daze, then swallowed the words that were about to be spoken out. What would she say? If he misunderstood, then let it be! Anyway, the relationship between them would not change.
… ….
Ying Qingcang casually picked up the proposal that was thrown to the side: ”How much do you want me to invest?”
”That's your problem. It's nothing to do with me.” Xin Qing stood up. She did not put on any clothes and directly walked towards the bathroom.
Looking at her snow-white back, Ying Qingcang hurriedly shifted his gaze. He coughed twice and asked across the door: ”You took advantage of me to make a deal with him, and you say it has nothing to do with you?”
”I never said I would agree to his conditions, nor did I say anything to you. I don't know how you know it. Now you have known the result and have finished the sex, then will you go? ” The sound of splashing water came from inside, indicating that the woman inside did not want to continue the conversation. Ying Qingcang sat on the bedside, revealing a puzzled and regretful expression.
The result of his investigation was that Xin Pengfei made a deal with her by using the place for the competition. It was like that as long as he contributed money the Xin's, Xin Qing would be able to participate in the competition. Ying Qingcang thought that Xin Qing would refuse to do so, but when he saw that Xin Qing was holding the proposal, he assumed that Xin Qing had agreed to Xin Pengfei's conditions. He was angry not because Xin Qing took advantage of him to make a deal, but because Xin Qing didn't tell him anything.
She wanted to participate in the competition, but she didn't ask for him. Even she was threatened by Xin Pengfei, she didn't tell him either. These things were too easy for him, but Xin Qing would rather be sad alone than tell him.
Ying Qingcang took a deep breath, put on his clothes and left. His mind was in a mess. Why did they argue everytime they talked. He wasn't clear about his current attitude towards Xin Qing, but he was certain of one thing.
It was that he didn't want to see Xin Qing being sad or even crying. He would rather see her glaring at him and scolding him as a pervert. As long as she wouldn't take him as a stranger, and as long as she was willing to let him help her.
Ying Qingcang, this beast! Xin Qing submerged herself in the bathtub, sniffing the air fiercely. Other than bullying me on the bed, what else could you do? Who asked you to help? You assumed all the things and you vented your anger on me? Thinking of Ying Qingcang's expression when he asked her to take off her clothes, Xin Qing felt really wronged.
She raised her hand and ruthlessly smeared across her face. She absolutely would not cry and would not admit defeat!
The two of them who had different thoughts didn't sleep at all. Early in the morning, Xin Qing walked downstairs with the two panda eyes and was surprised to see Ying Qingcang sitting there and having breakfast.
Why didn’t he go to work? Xin Qing was puzzled, then realized that today was the weekend. She did not care about Ying Qingcang any more. She was starving, for she didn't have the mood to eat last night, and she didn't sleep well last night either. She was going to catch up on her sleep after breakfast.
”Xin Qing.” Ying Qingcang looked at the girl who was sitting far away from him and eating porridge with her head lowered.
Xin Qing did not answer him.
Ying Qingcang slammed the table and stood up, scaring Xin Qing out of her wits.
Weren't you done yet? Xin Qing wanted to curse him, but she heard him said....
”I'm sorry.”
What? Xin Qing looked at him with her mouth half open. Her expression made Ying Qingcang, who was originally awkward because of his apologizing, feel that it was very funny.
”I apologize for that I shouldn't have …” Ying Qingcang felt that it wasn't too difficult to say it, ”I saw you holding the proposal and thought that you agreed to his conditions.”
Xin Qing curled her lips: ”You know that he's the one I hate the most, then how could I agree to such a thing.”
”The competition …”
”Forget it.” Xin Qing interrupted him, ”I will think of a way.” Then she stood up. ”I'm full, and I hope you won't embarrass me the next time you need my cooperation.” After saying that, she ran upstairs.
Ying Qingcang shook his head. She was still as stubborn as before.
Uncle Fu and Auntie Tian who hid in the kitchen said silently, ”Young Master, you're the most stubborn one!”
Although Xin Qing had regained face in front of Ying Qingcang, she was very clear that she would be unlikely to participate in the competition. However, what she didn't expect was that when she went to school on Monday, the principal told her that a newly established jewelry company had taken a fancy to her previous works, and was willing to let her represent the company to participate in the competition. Xin Qing was so excited that she almost hugged and kissed the principle.
”Xin Qing, you don't have to care about the rumors in the school. I will criticize and educate everyone in the meeting later. You are a very promising designer, and I believe in you! ”
