Ye Qian didn’t know what to do upon seeing Ji ng Qing’s heated stare so he only smiled faintly and didn’t reply.
“Back then I was young and didn’t know any better. I thought that since he was mixed up with criminals he would be able to protect . Who would have known that after being together for a while, I would discover that he was a completely an unambitious person. If he wasn’t fighting he’d be drinking. Also after he’d go drinking he’d hit . I thought that a couple should be forgiving towards each other, so I forgave him each ti. I thought that after we had a child he would beco a little better. But after I got pregnant he still went out and lived aimlessly. When I was seven months pregnant with Beng Beng I had to go out and find work to make money for him. Not only did he not feel the least bit of sha, he beca worse. Not only did he continue to live aimlessly, he also brought another woman into our house.” Ji ng Qing said. “Later on, after Beng Beng ca into this world, he was still the sa as before. I gave up on this man and divorced him. With the money you gave I opened the Western-style restaurant, toiling day and night, so nobody would take Beng Beng away. I would never alone anybody to take Beng Beng away, she is my life. There are tis when I feel helpless and wish I had a shoulder to lean on. I’m just a woman, a weak woman. Everyday I pretend to be strong supporting myself, I’m so tired, so tired.”
As Ji ng Qing spoke she threw herself onto Ye Qian’s embrace and sobbed. Ye Qian was helplessly staring blankly, rigidly staying like that for a long ti, slowly rubbing Ji ng Qing’s back consolingly, he said comfortingly, “The past is the past, you have to believe that the future will be even better.”
An intolerably vulgar consolation, but Ye Qian didn’t know how to comfort this pitiful woman.
Ji ng Qing replied in sobs, “Ever since you rescued from those bandits, and even gave money to co ho, I knew from that mont you were deeply engraved into my heart. At first I thought it was just gratitude, but slowly I ca to realize it is more like a nightmare. Your figure appears in my mind, I know, I already love you. Ye Qian, I know I’m not a match for you. I also do not make any demands for you to love ; But, allow to love you, alright?”
After saying this, Ji ng Qing raised her head to look at Ye Qian, it was a lovely and pitiful sight.
Seeing her like this, Ye Qian couldn’t refuse. Ye Qian had to admit that there were tis he felt indecisive about this woman. The saying “heros have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman” was an unchanging principle. After a short pause, Ye Qian replied, “You are a good woman, you will have your own blessings.”
Ji ng Qing looked at Ye Qian sincerely then said softly, “Ye Qian, can you accompany tonight?”
Ye Qian stared blankly, quite surprised by Ji ng Qing’s boldness. He looked at Ji ng Qing blankly then took a deep breath and said, “I really don’t want to hurt you. Truthfully the biggest feeling I have for you is sympathy. Of course it would be a lie to say I have no feelings at all for you, but I have a girlfriend and I don’t want to hurt her, and also don’t want to hurt you. Can you understand?”
“Thank you for speaking truthfully. Ye Qian, I don’t make extravagant demands of accompanying you forever, I only want to be a woman supporting you from behind, truly. I don’t need any status, I only wish to give you a little of my love. Only a little is fine.” Ji ng Qing said sincerely.
“Stop saying this nonsense, it’s not fair to you.” Ye Qiang said, “Give a little of your ti, I’ll also give you a little of my ti. I think, decide after you know be better in the future. I really have so business to attend to tonight. I have a friend who got confined in the hospital after a fight, I’m going to settle it .”
“Can you hold for a while?” Ji ng Qing looked at Ye Qian and said softly.
Ye Qian nodded and reached out his arms to wrap Ji ng Qing into an embrace. Li Wei once described Ye Qian in these words: “Successful with won but not a pervert, passionate and affectionate but not fickle in love.” Reality seed to be just like Li Wei’s words. Li Wei’s pursuits was likely the kind that was based on looks, and another kind of ending. While Ye Qian’s pursuits was more of a journey, a kind where the two people depended on each other.
Ji ng Qing buried her head deeply into Ye Qian’s chest. She knew that Ye Qian wasn’t the type of person to say one thing but an another. Ye Qian said he had business tonight so he must certainly have sothing to do tonight. Even though this wouldn’t last forever, Ji ng Qing still felt extrely blessed and happy. At least in this mont she could really possess Ye Qian, feel his body’s warmth, hear his heartbeat.
When it was close to the eting ti in the Bewitched Bar, Ye Qian left Ji ng Qing’s place. Even though Ji ng Qing was a little heartbroken over it, she still lovingly sent Ye Qian away. Before he left, Ji ng Qing told him, “Co often in your spare ti, I’ll make you lunch.”
Ye Qian lightly agreed, then raised his hand to signal for a taxi. He went in then pulled the window down and said, “Get inside now, Beng Beng is still inside.”
When he reached the Bewitched Bar it was already past 9PM. Mo Long, Zhao Tie Zhu, Mo Chun Hua might already have arrived. Ye Qian cald himself then went inside.
“Haven’t seen you in a while, handso!” Ye Qian had just entered the bar when Little Dragon Girl saw Ye Qian and called after him.
Ye Qian smiled faintly and said, “Yeah, I’ve been busy so I haven’t been able to co.”
Little Dragon Girl gave Ye Qian a hard look then said, “You don’t even call, I’ve been worried about you these past few days, you heartless guy.”
Ye Qian laughed, not taking Little Dragon Girl seriously. How could a girl like her be easily worried about a man. “I heard that this place is now the territory of the Qing Gang?” Ye Qian changed the subject.
“Yeah, just yesterday. Last night, the Qing Gang’s Situ Li Ren ca over to cause so trouble. They injured Big Brother Hu. The power of the Qing Gang in Shanghai is really great, how could Big Brother Hu be a match for them. Imdiately after, Situ Li Ren declared this place to be the Qing Gang’s.” Little Dragon Girl replied.
The corner of Ye Qian’s mouth lifted up into a smile, displaying a toothy grin. He said, “This is still The Tiger’s den, nobody can steal it. Has Situ Li Ren co in yet today?”
“He’s been here for a while, he must be at the back now.” Little Dragon Girl looked at Ye Qian in astonishnt and replied. She has seen Ye Qian fiercely fight other people before, and she also knew the relationship between Ye Qian and Wang Hu. Naturally she understood that today Ye Qian must have co to give the territory back to Wang Hu. But she couldn’t dare believe it. The Qing Gang was the number one gang in Shanghai, did Ye Qian have the ability to take this territory back?
