Ying Qingcang hired a nursing worker for Lin Xiaoyu and prepaid the hospital expenses. Then he took Xin Qing home. The next day, when Xin Qing told the story to Zhang Mi and Shi Qianqian at school, Zhang Mi kept sighing. An 18-year-old girl was to become an unwed mother.

“In fact, I think it’s good for her if she lost the child. Otherwise, she’ll have much to suffer in the future.” Shi Qianqian shook her head, “It’s hard to say whether she’s lucky or not.”

“Don’t say so!” Xin Qing added quickly, “Even if it’s true, she shouldn’t lose the child because of me. I’ll carry the guilt throughout my live.”

Zhang Mi thought for a while and asked, “Did you tell her mother?”

“No. She certainly doesn’t want her family to know about this.” Xin Qing scratched her head, “If she insists on giving birth to the child, how could she raise it?”

No matter how pity they felt for Lin Xiaoyu, they couldn’t make the decision for her. During dinner, Xin Qing was still worrying about the unborn child. She didn’t know why she’d been acting like this. Perhaps because Lin Xiaoyu’s almost miscarriage gave her too much shock. She thought she had to do something for that child.

Seeing that she was absent-minded at the table, Ying Qingcang pointed to the moon outside the window and reminded, “Hurry up. Don’t you remember the date today? Do you want to sleep or not?”

Xin Qing glanced over the moon and blushed. She picked up the bowl and gave Ying Qingcang a dirty look……

Recently, their relationship was at the best state since they met. Argument was replaced by communication. They were polite to each other yet not distant. Xin Qing thought they were like two friends living together, if tonight was not another full-moon night. After all, no friends would make love with each other.

Xin Qing still wouldn’t take a bath. She didn’t know what kind of mindset this was. Ying Qingcang didn’t care about this anyway. When Ying Qingcang finished his bath and came over, she was entirely covered under the quilt.

Ying Qingcang lay down and held her in his arms. Xin Qing saw through the slits beneath her eyelashes that he was watching her with gentle eyes. Her soul seemed to be floating in the midair and was unable to return to the ground for a long time.

When Ying Qingcang woke up, the dawn was just breaking. He put a gentle kiss on Xin Qing’s forehead, sneaked out of bed and left quietly.

Xin Qing had no idea that she was in his arms all night. But she remembered she passed out again because of him. She was too tired to open her eyes and complained in her heart that why couldn’t all the full-moon nights be at weekends so that she could sleep late.

She kept yawning during lunch at the school canteen. Shi Qianqian looked at her and said sincerely,

“Qing, you need to take care of yourself. You should ask Ying Qingcang to control himself a little!”

Xin Qing blushed and gagged her with a steamed bun.

Nobody thought that Lin Xiaoyu would suddenly appear one week later and waited for them in the dormitory without any intention to hide her current state.

“You’ve already left the hospital?” Zhang Mi examined her with rude eyes.

Apparently, Lin Xiaoyu didn’t plan to have an abortion. She was wearing flat shoes and maternity dress. In fact, she didn’t have to wear this since she was only pregnant for no more than three months. Did she plan to tell the whole world that she was pregnant……

“I’m all right now and the baby is fine.” She said this while rubbing her belly. Seeing this, Xin Qing felt her gooseflesh rise. She asked, “Are you going to give birth to the baby?”

Lin Xiaoyu compressed her lips and chuckled, handing out three red cards.

“Take them. These are my wedding invitations. Come early then. I don’t have many friends. You are going to come, don’t you?” She raised her head jauntily.

Zhang Mi took them over and opened one of them. “Damn, are you going to marry Xin Haoyu?”

“Yes, he proposed to me.” Lin Xiaoyu struck a pose and said to Xin Qing, “Xin Qing, I’m your sister-in-law from now on. We are family.”

Xin Qing glanced over the invitation without any expression and said, “I don’t have a brother. How come we become family.”

“Hehe, whatever.” Lin Xiaoyu held her waist and stood up, “I just come to inform you. Haoyu is still waiting for me at the door to go for a check! You don’t know how much he cares for this baby!” Lin Xiaoyu walked away in small steps. The three looked at the place she just sat, speechless. There was even a cushion.

“What’s the situation?” Zhang Mi asked Xin Qing, “Did the Xin family agree?”

Xin Qing shook her head, “How should I know. But Xin Pengfei must have agreed if Xin Haoyu is about to marry her.”

When Ying Qingcang came and took her home in the evening, Xin Qing sat at the passenger seat and stared at him.

“Is Lin Xiaoyu going to get married?”

Xin Qing’s eyes widened, “How do you know?”

“Xin Pengfei sent me the invitation.” Ying Qingcang glanced at her and asked, “Do you want to go?”

“Hell no.” Xin Qing twitched her mouth, “Lin Xiaoyu invited us only because she wanted to flaunt that she could finally marry Xin Haoyu.”

Ying Qingcang sneered, “She’s going to marry a man with physical problems. There’s nothing to flaunt.”

When they caught Xin Haoyu, they beat him every day. What’s more, they gave him a shot, which could make a man impotent. If treated in time, the disease could be totally cured. But Xin Haoyu wasted too much time. He could no longer sleep with women for the rest of his life. Xin Pengfei made a good plan by taking Lin Xiaoyu into the family. This child would be the only offspring of the Xin family. If, by any luck, Xin Haoyu’s disease was cured, he could still have fun outside and left this woman at home.

When Ying Qingcang finished, Xin Qing couldn’t accept it at the moment.

“Then……Did Lin Xiaoyu know this?”

Ying Qingcang looked at her and asked, “Do you think Xin Pengfei would tell her?”

Xin Qing shook her head, “No.”

Lin Xiaoyu had a hasty wedding, just one week later. Xin Qing, Zhang Mi and Shi Qianqian didn’t attend. Xin Qing had thought about telling Lin Xiaoyu the truth. But with a second thought, even if she did, she wouldn’t necessarily believe. Even if she believed, she probably would still marry him. She chose her own way, thus had to accept whatever would happen in the future.

Days were getting warmer and warmer. Xin Qing received a phone call from Chen Ming again, asking her to attend his engagement party. Ying Qingcang was in high spirit, helping her to choose the dress and book jewelry. Xin Qing believed he was very happy.

“Am I?” Ying Qingcang parked the car. He tilted his head and looked at the girl beside him.

She wore a light blue dress under a small white fur coat since it was still very cold. Her hair flew down in the back. Bathed in the sun of early spring, she was like a budding wintersweet. The only decoration was the gemstone necklace, a seasonal CK limited edition which was sent to them yesterday.

“Xin Qing!” Chen Ming came up to her quickly when he saw her getting off the car, “I’m glad that you can come.”

“This is your engagement party. As your sister, I should certainly come!” Xin Qing smiled and waved to Lu Manman, who came out after Chen Ming. But Lu Manman spoke before she could open her mouth, “She is the little sister you often talk about, isn’t she? Nice to meet you. I’m Chen Ming’s fiancee, Lu Manman!”

Xin Qing was stunned for a second, and then extended her hand politely, “Nice to meet you, my future sister!”

Since she didn’t want Chen Ming to know this was not their first meeting, she didn’t have to expose her.

“Isn’t Mr. Ying getting off the car?” Chen Ming asked, seeing there was no one coming out from the driver’s seat. He couldn’t see through the window, but his instinct told him that was Ying Qingcang.

Xin Qing smiled, “He has other things to take care of and cannot come to your engagement party.”

“It doesn’t matter! As long as you’re here.” Chen Ming threw a glance at the car window and said, “Let’s get inside!” Lu Manman gave Xin Qing a meaningful look and quickly followed up.

Xin Qing felt very strange. Ying Qingcang told her on their way here that he was very busy and couldn’t stay but would pick her up later. He came after a while indeed. To be precise, he probably just took a drive around and turned back……

Xin Qing received a picture on her phone before she went to sleep. It was from Lin Xiaoyu. In the picture, she was wearing a white wedding dress with a happy smile, while Xin Haoyu was standing next to her, blank-faced. Xin Qing shook her head and deleted the picture. Xin Haoyu’s expression made Lin Xiaoyu look rather ridiculous, which she didn’t notice at all.

At the end of the month, Xin Pengfei had the financial statement sent to Xin Qing. She was totally overwhelmed and couldn’t understand at all. She wanted to ask Ying Qingcang. But he suddenly became very busy these days and even didn’t have time to send her to school or pick her up. Xin Qing thought for a while and called Young Master Shen.

“It’s ever worse.” Young Master Shen said after he took a look, “Besides, he seemed to have transferred out large amount of money.”

“Transferred……Is it investment?” Xin Qing was confused.

Young Master Shen said without any surprise, “It’s not investment. The capital is removed. The statement is also faked, which is not recognizable by unprofessionals. He is transferring money. In other words, he wants to hollow out the company and leave an empty shell to you.”

“I know he’s not kind enough to return my share.” Xin Qing’s face was cold. She understood that this mean guy’s nature would never change.

Seeing that she was so excited, Young Master Shen comforted, “This is pretty clear. Ying Qingcang has already known this.”

“How did he know?” Xin Qing asked in surprise.

“He began the investigation the second day Xin Pengfei returned your share. Relax, Xin Enterprises will be returned to you intact.”

Young Master Shen said a bunch of inessential things, all compliments to Ying Qingcang. He asked her not to worry because Ying Qingcang had considered everything for her.

He said she should try to believe Ying Qingcang. That guy was so stubborn that he would never say how much he had done for her.

“Xiao Qingqing, let me say that again. Sometimes, don’t just look at people from the appearance!”

After he left, Xin Qing’s brain became a total mess and she felt stunned. Suddenly, her cell phone rang. It was Chen Ming. They hadn’t met for a long time.

Xin Qing glimpsed at the date on the phone when she hung up. Her heart tightened. It was so soon……Tonight was another full-moon night.
