Ji Qingying was amused by her antics, but she still suppressed her emerging emotions and gently replied, “He won’t.”

Ye Qing breathed a sigh of relief, “Who knows what he will or will not do.” She joked, “Once you have a wife, you will forget about your mother. Seems that it’s true.”

Ji Qingying was speechless and couldn’t answer back.

Ye Qing just smiled back. Although she was her elder, she didn’t display any haughtiness.”

She then looked a Ji Qingying seriously and said, “Although your Auntie here doesn’t really know about the details of this matter, what I do know is I believe in Fu Yanzhi’s vision and what my own intuition is telling me.”

Seeing Ji Qingying’s glistening pupils, she tried to comfort her, “So you don’t have to be afraid about anything, because we’ve got your back. Just do whatever you want. As long as they did it, it’s impossible to not leave any traces.”

Regardless of anything else, Ye Qing was an industry leader after all, so her eye for people must be good.

Moreover, she had heard of Ji Qingying from many people.

And she didn’t take anything by faith either, but she herself took the time to get to know her personally.

‘A girl like this would never betray you.’

Even if she didn’t believe her own conclusion, she still had to believe her son. This was the son she raised with her own hands. Someone who wouldn’t misjudge other people. What’s more is that this person was the one he likes.

Ji Qingying didn’t know how to express her gratitude. She simply stared at the documents in her hand and only after a while did she manage to say, “Thank you, Auntie.”

Ye Qing suddenly smiled. “Don’t mention it. We’re going to be a family in the future anyways.”

Ji Qingying couldn’t help but laugh.

Ye Qing continued to smile, “Let’s start then. We can continue our chat while we eat.”

“Okay.”

And as if on cue, the waiter came and served the dishes, which seemingly were only home cooked meals, but presented in an elaborate fashion with sublime flavors. Just the aroma of them was already so good.

Ji Qingying continued to answer Ye Qing’s queries while they ate.

“Since the registration for the international competition is in two days, and you’ll need to go abroad for a period of time to gain experience, will you be able to make arrangements for your work here in the meantime?”

Ji Qingying nodded, “Yes, there’s no problem.”

“That’s good then. Better to always be prepared in advance. Got any new ideas?”

Ji Qingying pondered this question for a few seconds before shaking her head, “At the moment, I’m not sure yet.”

Ye Qing understood her, “Do you still plan on making cheongsams in the international competitions?”

Only after thinking for a while again did Ji Qingying look up at her and nodded, “Yes.”

It wasn’t because she couldn’t design anything else, but Ji Qingying felt that she would rather stick to her original inspiration and continue to make her favorite cheongsams.

Ye Qing nodded, “Not bad.”

Ye Qing added, “Only by doing what you like the most can you be your best self.” She also couldn’t help but continue saying, “When I first heard of you, I had also asked Fu Yanzhi to help me find you and ask you to make me a cheongsam. He declined.”

Ji Qingying: “Huh?”

Ye Qing pretended to pout, “That brat told me you were too busy to take my orders!”

Ji Qingying kept on blinking, “…He never told me.”

“You probably were really busy at the time, so he didn’t tell you about it.”

After their meal, Ye Qing offered to take her home.

And Ji Qingying didn’t refuse.

But as soon as she got in the car, she somehow changed her mind.

“Auntie.”

Ye Qing looked at her, “Yes?”

Ji Qingying glanced at the time and gently asked, “Could you take me to the hospital instead?”

Hearing this, Ye Qing also glanced at the time, “Alright. It’s probably lunch break there too.”

Ji Qingying smiled, embarrassed.

Just before she got out of the car, Ye Qing stopped her.

“I know that with that personality of yours, you wouldn’t take the initiative to go on the offensive against someone,” she then smiled as she continued, “But your Auntie isn’t.”

Ji Qingying stared straight at her.

Ye Qing smiled and softly continued, “If they come to trouble you again and it isn’t convenient for you to get back at them, you can come to me any time.”

She continued to smile, “I can be the bad person for you.”

Ji Qingying’s eyes grew watery as she earnestly nodded her head, “Okay, Auntie. Thank you.”

Ye Qing patted her head, “Go on now. Be sure that when the two of you have free time, come home and have a meal with us.”

“Okay.”

After seeing Ji Qingying go inside the hospital, the driver in the front seat asked, “Mrs Ye, where should we go now?”

Ye Qing put away the smile on her face and grew slightly serious, “Let’s go to Jincheng Hotel.”

“Yes, Ma’am.”

……

When Ji Qingying got to the hospital, it was almost two o’clock.

Since she hadn’t visited for a while, she felt a bit unfamiliar with the place at that moment.

She didn’t even call Fu Yanzhi because she was afraid she might disturb his work.

Ji Qingying continued to hold on to the documents given to her by Ye Qing when she got to the lobby on the first floor. She then proceeded to go to the ladies restroom first.

On her way out, she inadvertently caught herself in the mirror.

Unbeknownst to her, her lipstick seemed to have completely disappeared.

Ji Qingying didn’t hesitate to take out her lipstick and touch up her makeup, which made her look much better.

As soon as she came out of the restroom, she met a beautiful female doctor.

The two stared at each other for a moment before Jiang Qiuling smiled, “Here to meet Dr. Fu?”
