Lin Jingzhi asked lazily, “What do you mean?”
“Haven’t you seen Weibo?”
Bai Bing fumed, “That little vixen Tangtang made it official on Weibo.”
“Not only did she post a photo with Ye Qiu, she wrote something about ‘how many live a life of contentment, today I ask you for forever.’ She’s clearly declaring war on us.”
“Lin Jingzhi, we can’t let this slide.”
“Oh, that? I know,” Lin Jingzhi said, “I saw the Weibo post, it’s no big deal.”
“No big deal? Are you out of your mind, Lin Jingzhi?” Bai Bing was livid, “Now I know why Ye Qiu’s been lingering in the capital, he’s been fooling around with that vixen Tangtang.”
Lin Jingzhi said, “Relax, he’ll be back soon.”
“Back? How can I relax when he’s with that vixen? I’m worried he’ll get too comfortable in the capital and never return,” Bai Bing said, “No, you need to help me figure out a way to get Ye Qiu back immediately.”
What a jealous type.
No, a jealousy vat.
Lin Jingzhi said, “Figure it out yourself, I was up all night in meetings, I’m exhausted and need to sleep.”
Click!
The call ended.
“That Lin Jingzhi, her man’s out there messing around with another woman, and she doesn’t care? It’s infuriating.”
Then, Bai Bing called Qin Wan.
“Since Lin Jingzhi doesn’t care, I’ll go to Sister Wan. I refuse to believe she’s not angry about Ye Qiu fooling around.”
Soon, the call connected.
“Sister Wan, what are you doing?” Bai Bing asked.
“I’m at work,” Qin Wan said with a smile, “Bai Bing, what made you call me?”
Bai Bing countered, “Have I never called you before?”
“No.”
Bai Bing: “…”
“Is something up?” Qin Wan asked.
Bai Bing said, “Have you seen Weibo?”
“Weibo?” Qin Wan said, “I don’t use it.”
Bai Bing: “…”
“Did something happen?” Qin Wan asked again.
Bai Bing said, “That vixen Tangtang must’ve used some kind of charm to steal Ye Qiu’s heart.”
Qin Wan asked, “The celebrity Tangtang?”
“Exactly, her. Sister Wan, let me tell you…”
Before Bai Bing could finish, Qin Wan said, “Bai Bing, you called me just for this?”
“Yes, just for this,” Bai Bing snapped, “It’s driving me mad.”
Qin Wan soothed, “Don’t get upset, it’s not worth getting angry over something so small.”
Small?
Bai Bing was stunned, then said, “Sister Wan, are you serious? Tangtang posted a photo with Ye Qiu on Weibo, it’s got millions of views, how is that small?”
“He’s your man!”
“Don’t you get mad seeing Ye Qiu flaunt his romance with another woman?”
Qin Wan said, “I’m not mad.”
Bai Bing: “…”
Qin Wan advised, “Bai Bing, don’t you know what kind of person Ye Qiu is?”
“Even if he’s with someone else, we’ll still have a place in his heart.”
“Besides, I think Tangtang and he are quite a match.”
Bai Bing exploded, “Sister Wan, what are you saying? That vixen and Ye Qiu are a match?”
“Yep,” Qin Wan said earnestly, “I’ve met Tangtang, she’s nice, beautiful, classy, and a big star, she’s worthy of Ye Qiu.”
Bai Bing was dumbfounded.
She wanted to ask Qin Wan, are you crazy?
Your man’s messing around, and not only are you not upset, you’re blessing them?
Sensing Bai Bing’s silence, Qin Wan asked, “Bai Bing, anything else? I’m still working.”
“Go work,” Bai Bing said coldly, hanging up.
Then, she slammed her hand on the desk.
“I’m so pissed, what are they all thinking? Ye Qiu’s acting like this, and they’re all fine with it?”
“No, I have to get Ye Qiu back immediately.”
“I’m not jealous, I just can’t stand that vixen showing off.”
Thinking this, Bai Bing started plotting.
Then…
“Got it!”
She pulled out her phone and called Ye Qiu.
Meanwhile, in the capital, Ye Qiu was unaware that a single Weibo photo had driven Bai Bing to the brink.
After parting with Tangtang, he returned to the Ye family.
The family sat together for dinner.
Master Ye said, “I got a call from Wushuang earlier, he and Jinglan have left Suzhou and Hangzhou, heading to Kunlun Mountain.”
Ye Qiu felt a pang of disappointment, he’d thought his parents would return to the capital for a farewell.
Master Ye added, “I think Wushuang didn’t want us to feel reluctant, so he and Jinglan left from Jinling.”
“I checked with the War God, he’s sent people to Kunlun Mountain.”
“Ye Qiu, don’t worry, soon we’ll be able to video call Wushuang.”
“Mm,” Ye Qiu nodded softly.
Ye Wudi said, “Father, I’ve received my official appointment, tomorrow Dragon Lady and I head to the Northern Border.”
Master Ye nodded, “Go, with Xiao Jiu gone, the Northern Border needs someone to maintain order.”
“Do well there.”
“Protect our country’s borders.”
Ye Wudi said solemnly, “Father, I won’t let you down.”
Master Ye said sternly, “You mustn’t let me down, nor the people of the Northern Border, nor betray Elder Tang and the country’s trust.”
“As a soldier, your duty is to defend the nation.”
“Dragon Lady, Wudi can be impulsive, please support him.”
Dragon Lady smiled, “Master Ye, no need to be formal, we’re family.”
Master Ye added, “You two should try harder, have a child soon, and hold the wedding.”
Dragon Lady giggled, “We’ve been working on it these past few days.”
Everyone: “…”
“Ye Qiu, when are you heading back to Jiangzhou?” Master Ye asked.
He knew Ye Qiu wouldn’t stay long in the capital and would return to Jiangzhou.
But as an elder, Master Ye hoped Ye Qiu could stay longer, with Wushuang gone to Kunlun and Wudi off to the Northern Border, the large Ye household would feel empty without Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu understood his grandfather’s feelings, elders always want their younger generation around.
“I…”
Just as Ye Qiu started, his phone rang, he checked it, Bai Bing.
“I’ll take this call.”
Ye Qiu stepped outside and answered.
“Ye Qiu, great news,” Bai Bing said mysteriously, “Jingzhi’s pregnant!”
