Chapter 316 Is Yang Chen Loyal to You (1/5)
In the beauty salon.
Even though girls nowadays love to dress up, and normally the girls coming to the beauty salon are prettier and more glamorous, each more stunning than the last.
But the two who came today made all the other women present feel self-conscious, their radiance overshadowed.
A crowd of male hairstylists were vying to serve the two.
However, Ye Xin and Wei Xueqing wouldn't be impressed with these dandy guys here; they directly called for the manager to serve them.
After a round of shampooing and massages, the two began to perm their hair.
"Xinxin, what do you think our hair will look like after this? I'm a bit worried," Wei Xueqing felt unsure.
Hairstyles don't suit everyone. If the perm goes wrong, it would really mean having to cut it short.
Ye Xin didn't care and said, "If it doesn't look good, just cut it. I've been wanting to try short hair for a while now. I think Yanyan's short hair looks quite nice."
She kept her long hair to have a more feminine allure, making it more convenient for certain spy missions. But she preferred short hair because it was more practical for missions or combat.
So, short or long hair didn't really matter to Ye Xin.
But Wei Xueqing was different; she was just an ordinary woman. Despite her high position, she still cared about whether her hairstyle looked good, whether her makeup today was suitable...
"Honestly... I'm starting to regret this..." Wei Xueqing sighed.
Ye Xin smiled gently, closing her eyes to rest.
The two didn't mention the meeting with Sun Xiaoting scheduled for tomorrow.
They both clearly knew they would face each other tomorrow, yet neither wanted to bring it up now.
After a long pause.
Wei Xueqing suddenly asked, "Ye Xin..."
"Hmm?" Ye Xin still had her eyes closed.
"Do you think... Yang Chen is loyal to you?" Wei Xueqing suddenly asked.
Ye Xin's brows furrowed slightly, and her breathing became somewhat rapid, but she still didn't open her eyes and replied calmly, "Why are you asking that?"
"Did you know Yang Chen had a childhood sweetheart before?" Wei Xueqing cautiously observed Ye Xin.
Even though Ye Xin didn't open her eyes, every move of Wei Xueqing was within her perception.
Ye Xin smiled slightly and said, "Shouldn't Yang Chen's childhood sweetheart be me?"
"Ah?" Wei Xueqing was taken aback.
Ye Xin said, "Yang Chen and I have known each other since we were little. I've told you before, we were betrothed as children, we are the true childhood sweethearts."
"No!" Wei Xueqing argued, "Even if you had a marriage arrangement, you didn't have much contact afterwards! Don't you think it's too rushed now that you suddenly came back and had a flash marriage with Yang Chen?"
"Rushed?" Ye Xin opened her eyes and looked at Wei Xueqing.
"Of course, it's rushed!" Wei Xueqing said, "You two don't have a foundation of feelings; marrying so quickly is a mistake. Maybe you feel good now, but you haven't truly lived together or gone through the adjustment period. When you've truly gotten to know each other, will you still be as harmonious?"
Ye Xin paused slightly, then said softly, "I hadn't thought about that."
"Exactly!" Wei Xueqing saw an opportunity and continued, "A marriage without a foundation of feelings is very dangerous. Besides, I mentioned that childhood sweetheart, she's a girl Yang Chen met in the orphanage. Yanyan must have told you about that."
Ye Xin nodded slightly, took a glance at Wei Xueqing, and said, "Yes, I'm aware of her."
"What do you think is the chance of success if Sun Xiaoting tries to win Yang Chen back?" Wei Xueqing asked, watching Ye Xin nervously.
She wasn't deliberately trying to stress Ye Xin, but she was also worried about this issue and wanted to know as well.
"The chance..." Ye Xin's lips curled slightly, "Should be less than one percent, and that one percent is just for courtesy; otherwise, there's practically no chance."
As for what Yang Chen truly thought and how he would handle his feelings with Sun Xiaoting, Ye Xin had no clue. But her lack of knowledge doesn't mean she lacks confidence in Yang Chen.
Ye Xin was very clear that Yang Chen liked her. She could sense Yang Chen's feelings for her. Moreover, she knew her own feelings toward Yang Chen.
This feeling was like the positive and negative poles of a magnet; as soon as they meet, they're attracted together.
As for the adjustment period, or the foundation of feelings, Ye Xin really hadn't considered these much.
Getting the marriage certificate with Yang Chen at the time was purely because she had a certain fondness for him, and because she needed to carry out a mission and cover her identity, she chose to marry Yang Chen.
But later, unexpectedly, Yang Chen was like a magnet, deeply attracting Ye Xin.
And again and again, Ye Xin thoroughly fell for Yang Chen.
She didn't even know when this feeling began.
Maybe it was on the plane, or when they were in Wei Xueqing's office, or watching Yang Chen save Chen Siyan regardless of anything on the rooftop, or when she saw Yang Chen with a dagger in his body, covered in blood, or when he shielded them from bullets while rescuing Wei Xueqing.
In any case, Ye Xin simply fell for Yang Chen.
She wasn't scared that Yang Chen would betray her, because she believed in Yang Chen, and she knew he would never do that.
There's really no need to worry.
Sun Xiaoting is practically clueless about her.
While Ye Xin knew everything about Sun Xiaoting.
If she didn't even have this bit of confidence, Ye Xin would just laugh it off.
Wei Xueqing frowned and looked at Ye Xin, saying, "Are you really that assured?"
"What? Are you not assured?" Ye Xin looked at Wei Xueqing.
Seeing Ye Xin's scrutinizing gaze, Wei Xueqing seemed flustered and laughed, "How could I... I'm just worried you might be deceived! Men these days are all the same, nothing good about them!"
Ye Xin closed her eyes again and said softly, "That's because you haven't met a good one."
Wei Xueqing paused, glanced at Ye Xin, and found Ye Xin with her eyes closed again.
Haven't met a good one?
Wei Xueqing asked herself.
She had encountered many guys before, but the only one with any feelings was Qian Hai, though it might not even be described as feelings.
But she firmly believed she had met a good man.
A man who could help her in times of trouble, comfort her in loneliness, and protect her with broad shoulders in danger.
Unfortunately, good men always belong to others.
Wei Xueqing glanced at Ye Xin, who was resting with her eyes closed, and also closed her eyes to begin her own rest.
