Ying Qingcang finally felt a little better. After hearing Anam's report, he felt that Xin Qing had handled the situation very well. Originally, he had wanted to put pressure on CK, but he was afraid that Xin Qing would be angry if she found out. But now, she had handled it beautifully.
"Go and check on that William." Ying Qingcang frowned. "If I remember correctly, that is the surname of the British royal family. But I don't remember this person. Go and check."
Anam nodded and went out. At the same time, Childe Shen pushed the door open and came in. He sprawled on the sofa and said smugly, "Xiao Qingqing is going to have her summer vacation. Let's go and see her!"
"Okay, you go." Ying Qingcang nodded in agreement.
Childe Shen stared at him. "You sound like you don't want to go."
"I still don't want to go." Ying Qingcang glanced at him. "I don't have time. You go!"
Childe Shen pursed his lips. "Then I won't go either."
"No. You just said that you want to go. You have to go." Ying Qingcang threatened him. "Otherwise... you and I will go back to England."
Childe Shen sat up. "Are they going to punish you for what happened last time?"
"My old man said that my grandfather is under a lot of pressure. He just fell sick. I'm afraid that if I don't go back, he will be angry to death." As expected, Jasmine's family started to take action. They demanded an explanation from the Ying family. They wanted Ying Qingcang to marry Jasmine.
Childe Shen laughed gloatingly. "When I go to France, I will tell Xin Qing that you are getting engaged."
"Okay, you can tell her that." However, Ying Qingcang did not get angry. Instead, he nodded in agreement.
The biggest news in CK Academy this semester was that the Academy Award had been won by a girl from China. Xin Qing stood in the corridor of the exhibition and watched them put the replica of Meng Lian into a glass cabinet. Meng Lian was the name she had given her work.
"Congratulations! You will go down in CK's history as the first Asian to get a special award!" Diana had walked up to her and extended her hand to congratulate her.
Xin Qing pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at her work again and said, "The reason why there weren't any in the past doesn't necessarily mean that they can't do it. I believe that the design talent of Chinese people is no different from yours."
Hearing her words, Diana pondered for a moment before saying, "I've never discriminated against Chinese people." She smiled. "According to the agreement, I'll treat you to a meal if I lose!"
"There's no need. I have a friend coming over soon, and then I have to visit the mine arranged by the academy. I don't think I have time." Xin Qing rejected her politely. Xin Qing felt insecure when Dianne took the initiative to show her goodwill. After the incident with Randa, Xin Qing had become much more vigilant. To paraphrase the old ancestor's words, "One should never have the intention to harm others, but one should always be on guard against others!
Diana probably did not expect Xin Qing to reject her so directly. She was stunned for a moment. Then, she said with a noble and distant smile, "It's okay. We'll talk about it when you have time." Then, she nodded and left.
When Xin Qing received the name of the mine she was going to visit, she thought she had seen wrongly. She rubbed her eyes hard. The name on it was familiar. It was the diamond mine that Ying Qingcang had given her. It was her own diamond mine...
"It can't be so coincidental, right?" Xin Qing thought it was a little unbelievable. She thought about it and decided to call to confirm it. In the end, the teacher said that it was indeed there. Now, she felt very complicated. As far as she knew, there were two other students going this time. One was Diana, and the other was a boy. It was better not to let others know. Anyway, the people there had never seen her before. She would just go as an ordinary student!
The academy set the departure date at the end of the month. There was still half a month to go. Xin Qing's original plan was to go to the surrounding cities for a self-guided tour. However, that guy, Childe Shen, called early and said that he would be coming over. Xin Qing had been absent-minded for the past few days. She was afraid that Ying Qingcang would come with her. In the past few months, she was busy designing and did not feel anything. Now, her mind was empty. It was full of longing for that person. She wanted to see him but did not dare to. She inexplicably thought of the lyrics of the song, "Meeting is better than missing."
This kind of uneasy Xin Qing was completely relieved until Childe Shen appeared at the door and hugged her with a smile. Because Ying Qingcang did not come, Xin Qing was relieved and at the same time suppressed the disappointment in her heart. However, Childe Shen's words at dinner made her unable to escape the reality.
"Xiao Qingqing, look, I am still the best!" Childe Shen said with a sly smile. "Ying Qingcang, that bastard, did not come to see you."
Xin Qing picked up the glass of water and said, "He is busy. Besides, with our current relationship, he does not have to come to see me."
"He is not busy. He went back to England to get engaged with that Jasmine!" Childe Shen threw out a sentence.
Crack! The glass in Xin Qing's hand fell to the ground. The pieces of broken glass seemed to cut her heart. Blood flowed silently to a place where no one could see.
"Xiao Qingqing!" Childe Shen hurriedly called the waiter, "Don't move! Be careful not to cut your hand. "
Xin Qing bit her lips and did not say a word. She just stared at the broken glass on the ground.
Childe Shen waited for the waiter to come and clean it up. Then he sighed and said, "Since you are in so much pain, why did you leave?"
"I am fine." Xin Qing raised her head with calm eyes. Childe Shen stared at her for a long time and found that he really could not see anything in her eyes. He frowned and said, "If you are really fine, you will not be like that just now."
"I don't know why you have to leave. You love him very much. Do you really want to see him marry someone else?"
Xin Qing pulled the corner of her mouth into a smile, "There is no such thing as love. We are only together because of the Ying family's ancestral teachings and because of the totems behind us."
"Do you really believe in these superstitions?" Childe Shen said disapprovingly, "It is an insult to your relationship."
"It is all in the past between me and him. Isn't it good now? He has a fiancée. I can fulfill my dream with peace of mind. If we meet in the future, we can shake hands and chat like friends. This is very good! "Xin Qing smiled," Can we not talk about him in the future? "
Childe Shen glared at her, "Didn't you say it was fine?"
"It is not the same." Xin Qing shook her head, "After all, the things he did to me are too deep. From the disgust and hurt at the beginning, to the protection and love later. For a woman, this is an indelible memory. "
Xin Qing blinked, "So I have to bury these memories as soon as possible, so that I can meet a Prince Charming again!"
"Haha..." Childe Shen smiled, but didn't say anything.
"Meet a Prince Charming? I'm afraid that guy won't give you the chance... "
The next day, Childe Shen insisted on taking Xin Qing to a fashion show.
"You are actually here to see the beauties, right? Xin Qing despised him. Childe Shen raised his hand and swore, "Nonsense, I am here to see Xiao Qingqing... and to see the beauties."
Xin Qing rolled her eyes at him and absent-mindedly looked at the models wrapped in several pieces of cloth on the runway. Suddenly, she saw someone waving at her. She moved her eyes and pretended not to see it. Childe Shen asked, "Do you see an acquaintance?"
"Aren't you looking at the women? How did you notice this? "
"I don't need to pay attention to them. I mainly want to accompany you!" Childe Shen touched her, "Look, she is coming."
Xin Qing exclaimed and looked up. Ellie was already standing in front of her.
"Xin Qing! Are you still mad at me? "She pouted, but her eyes drifted to Childe Shen from time to time.
Xin Qing shook her head helplessly, "No, I won't be mad at you for such a small thing."
"That's great! We are still friends. "Ellie said as she sat down beside her.
Xin Qing didn't say anything, and Ellie didn't mind. She waved at Childe Shen, "Hi! Hello, my name is Ellie. Are you Xin Qing's boyfriend? "
"I really want to be her boyfriend, but unfortunately... Xiao Qingqing doesn't like me!" Childe Shen said with a smile. Xin Qing kicked him, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Ellie nodded, "Yes, you'd better not be with Xin Qing. She is going to be my sister-in-law."
"Ellie, your brother and I are just friends." Xin Qing frowned, "Why does she always associate me with Mayr?"
Ellie covered her mouth, "Okay, okay!" Then she stood up and went to Childe Shen to sit down, "Are you here to have fun in France? How about I be your tour guide? "
"Tut, I don't need a tour guide." Childe Shen smiled evilly, which made Ellie's heart beat fast. She stammered, "Then... then what do you need?"
Childe Shen approached her, breathed in her ear, and said in a low voice, "I need a woman, the kind who can accompany me to bed!"
"You... you..." Ellie pushed him away, jumped up and ran away with a red face.
Xin Qing smiled at Childe Shen, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"What's wrong?"
"You're finished. You'll get yourself into trouble."
Childe Shen said indifferently, "I'm just teasing her. You know I like mature and sexy women. She's not suitable for me."
"Don't say I didn't warn you. That girl's brain circuit is not normal." Xin Qing thought that Ellie might take it seriously and think that Childe Shen liked her.
Xin Qing's hunch was right. At noon the next day, Ellie stood at the door of her house.
"Xin Qing!"
"How did you know I live here?" Xin Qing frowned and asked.
Ellie said proudly, "I asked around. You're the only Chinese around here. It's easy to find you!" She walked in and looked around. "Where's your friend? He doesn't live with you, does he? "
"He didn't come back last night." Xin Qing continued to sit down and eat lunch.
"Do you really live together?" Ellie's tone was a little dissatisfied. "Are you boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Xin Qing was a little speechless. "Are we in a relationship?"
"Of course, I..." Ellie rolled her eyes. "Oh, when will he come back?"
Xin Qing deliberately thought for a while and said, "It depends on how long he exercised last night."
