Xin Qing's heart softened when she heard that he was going to leave, but when she heard his last sentence, she became angry again.
"Why do I owe you a favor? Isn't it because of you?"
Ying Qingcang was silent for a moment, looked at her deeply and said, "I'm sorry." Then he went into the room.
Xin Qing ran upstairs angrily. Did this man have to remind her of the horrible experience that night? Monica was packing the luggage. Seeing her angry face, she whispered, "Did you quarrel again?"
"Who has the time to quarrel with him!" Xin Qing glared at Monica and went to take a shower.
Monica touched her nose. Every time these two guys quarrel, it's always us innocent people who get in trouble …
The next morning, when Xin Qing woke up, Ying Qingcang had already left. Monica put a card beside her bed. On it was written: The engagement is fake. Xin Qing impatiently crumpled the card into a ball and threw it into the trash can. After lunch, she decided to take Asha to buy a toy Trojan horse. Xin Qing hadn't bought it because Asha never sat on a Trojan horse when she went to the amusement park. She would cry if you put her on it. Now that she had her own Ponies, Xin Qing decided to try it again to see if she liked it.
Ah Chul naturally went with them. The third floor of the shopping mall was full of toys. Xin Qing put Asha down and let her run on her own. Asha ran with her short legs and giggled. Ah Che followed closely behind her, protecting her carefully. There were a few times when Ah Sha wandered into the dolls section, but Xin Qing dragged her back every time. Ah Sha did not cry, though. She probably thought that the toys were all hers when she saw them, so she kept running down the stairs.
There were at least dozens of places to buy Ponies. Xin Qing was pleasantly surprised to find that there was one that was very realistic. It was made of high-grade velvet cloth. The ponies looked like real ponies and came in several colors. She placed Ah Sha on top of the white one, and Ah Sha squealed happily.
"Ah … Bai!" Then, she looked at Xin Qing and pointed at the Ponies beneath her. "Mommy … Bai!"
Xin Qing nodded. "Yes, this is Xiao Bai. Shall we buy her?"
Asha was so happy that she kept shouting, "Baibai! Whitey! "
Because the wooden horse was too big, Xin Qing left her address, and the mall would deliver the goods to her home. She put Asha in the stroller and pushed her around the mall. When she reached the women's section, she heard someone calling her.
"Xin Qing!"
"Ellie?" Xin Qing turned around and saw Ellie waving at her. Ellie ran over and said excitedly, "Long time no see!"
"Yeah, Mayr said you went abroad." Xin Qing subconsciously took a step back.
Ellie saw Asha sitting in the stroller and happily took out a Mickey Mouse hairpin from her bag. "I bought this at Disney. Can I give it to the baby?"
"How can I!" Xin Qing wanted to refuse, but Asha had already reached out and grabbed the Mickey Mouse hairpin.
Ellie smiled and said, "See! The baby likes it too! "
She just wanted to grab it when she saw it. Xin Qing was a little helpless, but she still said, "Thank you! You went shopping alone? "
"I snuck out." Ellie looked around and pulled Xin Qing forward. "Let's talk in the lounge over there."
It turned out that because Mayr didn't have a suitable marriage partner for the time being, his family had set their eyes on Ellie. Although she was still young, they had already started to arrange various social balls for her so that she could have a chance to show her face in front of others. If any family took a fancy to her, they could get engaged first and then cultivate their relationship.
"Your family is really …" Xin Qing didn't know how to comment on Ellie's behavior after listening to her.
Ellie said bluntly, "You want to say that they are shameless, right? Don't be polite. They are shameless. Why should we sacrifice ourselves? If you have the ability, do it yourself. " Ellie finally found someone to listen to her. She began to complain, "Our family is doing well now, but they are still not satisfied. They are sacrificing their children's happiness to make money. Aren't they afraid that they will die without descendants?"
"Ahem!" Xin Qing hurriedly stopped her. "You can't talk about this."
Ellie looked at her with grievance. "They don't treat us as children at all. In their eyes, we are just tools to gain benefits for the family." Ellie became more and more agitated. "I won't be like my brother. I won't be manipulated by them!"
Xin Qing sighed. She decided to stay away from this girl in the future. Who knew what terrible things she would do? Ah Chul, who had been sitting at another table, saw Xin Qing's expression and decided to help her.
"Miss, we should go back. Asha is sleepy."
Xin Qing looked at Ah Chul approvingly. She quickly stood up and said, "Yes, it's time for her to go to bed. Ellie, we'll go first. You'd better not run around alone. It's easy to get into trouble. "
"Can I stay at your house for a while?" Ellie looked at Xin Qing with a pleading look.
Xin Qing suddenly felt a headache. Ah Chul cleverly said, "Miss, now the nanny and I are living at your house. There are no rooms left."
"Ah … really?"
"Yes." Xin Qing nodded quickly. "You'd better go back. Even if you live outside, they will find you."
Ellie nodded, waved at her and left. Xin Qing was relieved. Ah Chul looked at Ellie's back and said, "Miss, this woman seems to be easy to get into trouble. Let's avoid contact with her in the future."
Xin Qing gave him an understanding look. She knew better than anyone else that Ellie was capable of getting into trouble. It could be said that if it weren't for her, Mira wouldn't hate her. On the way back, Xin Qing wondered if she should call Mayr and tell him about Ellie's current situation. But then she thought better of it. They were traveling, and this was their family's private matter. She shouldn't poke her nose into other people's business.
Ellie, who had sneaked out, was caught at the gate of the mall. A middle-aged man looked at her with an unkind expression. If Xin Qing were here, she would definitely recognize that this man was the one who had stopped her and warned her on the way last time.
"Ellie, you're so insensible!" The middle-aged man looked at her. "How dare you sneak out of the banquet?"
"I don't want to go to the banquet! Don't even think about selling me off. "Ellie struggled to run away, but she couldn't move because she was caught by two bodyguards.
Seeing that she was so uncooperative, the middle-aged man became even angrier. "Take her back and lock her up. Let her out when she thinks it through!"
"No! You can't lock me up. I have to find a girlfriend for my brother! Let me go. "Ellie shouted hard, but she didn't get in the car.
The middle-aged man turned to look at her. "Where are you going to find a girlfriend for your brother?"
"Xin Qing! Ellie blurted out, "I like her to be my sister-in-law!"
"Nonsense. She's married."
Ellie blinked. "My brother said that she seems to be divorced."
"Divorced?"
Ellie nodded. "Yes, my brother said so."
The middle-aged man thought for a while and looked at Ellie. "I'll take you back first!"
Xin Qing had no idea that she had been sold by Ellie. She was reading the script of the advertisement sent by William. The shooting would start in three days. Although there weren't many lines, Xin Qing had to memorize them. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if she forgot them.
The theme of the advertisement was the daily life of a young mother and her baby. Xin Qing and Asha only needed to act as themselves. The lines they needed to memorize were to introduce the benefits of the product. Xin Qing also rehearsed with Asha several times according to the script. Asha's reaction was different every time. Xin Qing hoped that when the shooting started, Asha could pass it in one take, so that they wouldn't have to go back and forth.
On the day of the shooting, Xin Qing first played games with Asha at home in her home clothes. She passed it in one take. Even the director praised Asha for her acting talent since she was a child. The next day, they had to shoot outdoors in an amusement park. However, for some reason, Asha refused to get on the slide that the director asked her to do. No matter how they coaxed her, it was useless. She cried until she was out of breath and fell into Xin Qing's arms. Xin Qing's heart ached.
"Director, can we stop shooting today? The baby doesn't seem to be feeling well."
The director had already received instructions from the higher-ups. Hearing Xin Qing's words, he immediately said no problem and everyone left. After they all left, Xin Qing carried Asha to the slide. Asha was probably tired from crying and obediently stayed in her arms. Ah Chul handed the milk bottle over. Xin Qing fed Asha milk and said softly, "This is called a slide. Asha, do you want to sit with mommy?"
"Ahhh …" Asha hummed with the milk bottle in her mouth. She sat up and looked at it. She was a little scared and buried her head in Xin Qing's arms.
"Mommy and Ah Sha will slide down together. It'll be like flying, okay?" Xin Qing repeated patiently. "What about it?"
"Daddy? Feifei … "Asha stared at Xin Qing with her round eyes. Ying Qingcang often threw her over his head and caught her. Asha liked to play the game of being lifted up high.
Xin Qing was stunned for a moment. Then she smiled and nodded, "Yes, just like how daddy lifts you up high!"
"Feifei!" Ah Sha was overjoyed. She reached her hand out to the bottom of the slide. Xin Qing carried her and slid down. Ah Sha giggled and clapped her hands.
"Haha, it seems that I worried too much. Our Little Asha already knows how to sit!"
Xin Qing looked up and saw William standing there with a smile. Ah Chul winked and stared at him.
"Why are you here?" Xin Qing stood up. Asha found it fun to sit on the slide. She hummed and wanted to sit again. Xin Qing handed her to Ah Chul, "You take her!" Ah Chul went up reluctantly.
William looked at her, "Well, you look good. I was afraid that you would be tired and lose weight."
"Haha!" Xin Qing glared at him, "I feel like I'm going to get fat in such comfortable shooting conditions. Did the director complain to you?"
"The director can't wait to praise you!" William said quickly, "I heard that there was something wrong with Little Asha, so I was worried and came to see her."
Xin Qing nodded with a smile, "I know. I'm just joking with you!"
"Since I'm here, would you like to have a meal with me?" William made a "please" gesture. Xin Qing lowered her head slightly, "Since you are so sincere, I'll reluctantly say yes!"
The two of them looked at each other and laughed. Ah Chul held Asha and was about to cry.
"Asha, you will lose your daddy soon …"
