《Good Morning, Mr. President!》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1: Xia Xing Chen is pregnant The night is deep. Inside the Vi, all the furniture and designs are priceless. Xia Xing Chen was dizzy and lying in the bed. Every pattern in this bed was hand carved by expert craftsmen. The door was suddenly pushed open and several people has entered. They obediently stand up straight near the door and respectfully wait for thest man to step inside. The room was dark, Xia Xing Chen tried hard to keep her eyes open, but can only vaguely see a tall and straight figure. Under the moonlight, she can feel the man¡¯s powerful presence. ¡°Is she the girl you investigated and passed the screening for my baby?¡± The man¡¯s voice is deep but soothing. She can barely hear him, but she felt that it¡¯s quite not real. ¡°Yes, Sir! Indeed she voluntary wants to give birth to your child and we determined that today is her ovtion period¡± ¡°Get out.¡± The Man waved his hand and all the people immediately and quietly retreated, as if nothing had happened. * ¡­ ¡­ Ah! Xia Xing Chen opened her eyes and suddenly got surprised. From outside, it¡¯s already a sunny day, her slender back got a burst of cold sweat. She had a dream! And a perverted dream!?¡­ ¡­ There was a man, but she didn¡¯t see his face. Who is that man? Xia Xing Chen sighed a deep breath, she holds the nket and slowly sat up. However, she felt like her body got run over by a heavy truck and is sore. She frowns her eyebrows. If that was a dream, then it¡¯s too ¡­ ¡­ too real ah! Even now, her legs are also sore ¡­ ¡­ Xia Xing Chen became speechless! When did she be flirt, ah? She has a boyfriend and yet she still dreams of a strange man and done that perverted stuff. The more ridiculous is ¡­ ¡­ that man actually wants her to give birth to his child? Very funny! She is only 18 years old now, why would she give him a baby ah!? Who does he think he is? However, she did not expect that this strange and beautiful dream is not a dream. For a whole week, she can¡¯t forget about that night and she even doubted that all those stuff was not a dream, because it felt too real ¡­ ¡­ It¡¯s true, she can remember that man¡¯s highly aggressive hormones, and she can even ¡­ ¡­ remember his eyes clearly, because there¡¯s no coldness in his eyes. Those dark ink colored pupils, his noble,quiet, and mysterious presence ¡­ ¡­ He is so shy. As if she is one of his people in this world. In reality, there should be no such a man! Therefore, Xia Xing Chen convinced herself more and more that, that night was just a dream, just a dream! * Two monthster. Xia Xing Chen is reading Shakespeare¡¯s collection, which is an English book, but suddenly she felt a bursting pain in her stomach. ¡°Wooahh!¡± She covered her mouth, open the restroom¡¯s door, and then rushed to the toilet bowl. She squats in front of it and started vomiting. ¡°Miss, are you all right?¡± Their housemaid heard her, and hurriedly went over to patted her back. With too muchmotion, another person entered her room and sees that she was vomiting, and thoughtfully asked: ¡°Sister, did you eat something bad?¡± Xia Xing Chen doesn¡¯t have much strength to reply to her half-sister. She only reached out her hand and flushed the toilet, she wants to get out soon in the restroom but the result is, her stomach aches once again. What¡¯s wrong with her body? Did she really eat something bad? * The next day. Xia Xing Chen went to the hospital for a check up with her boyfriend Xu Yan. At first, the doctor was suspecting that it is gastritis. But when the result was out, he advised her to go to the gynecology department. ¡°Doctor, what do you mean? Did you make a mistake!?¡± Xia Xing Chen and Xu Yan check out the results and they are both shocked. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Young people these days doesn¡¯t pay much attention now. You are still young. You¡¯re not afraid to be intimate with her, but now you felt fear because you got her pregnant.¡± ¡°I ¡­ ¡­ My girlfriend and I haven¡¯t crossed that line!¡± Xu Yan tried to suppressed his anger and exin. The doctor pushed the bridge of the eyess on his nose, he looks at Xu Yan and Xia Xing Chen, he tried to exin more: ¡°If that is true, that you haven¡¯t crossed that line. You have to ask your girlfriend, she might have done it with someone else.¡± Xu Yan got stunned. The doctor words are like a heavy hammer that have dropped on him. He turned to look at Xia Xing Chen, he cannot believe it. Xia Xing Chen shook her head, her lips are trembling, ¡°I ¡­ ¡­ I haven¡¯t had sex with other men ¡­ ¡­¡± These words sound like a positive sentence, but she knows it better than anyone. If she really is pregnant, then the only exnation is that a few nights ago ¡­ ¡­ That was not a dream! ¡°Okay, but you are no longer a virgin, right? Think about it more, it¡¯s been a long time since you had your menstruation, right? andtely, you always feel sleepy and dizzy, right?¡± ¡°¡­ ¡­¡± Xia Xing Chen got speechless to the doctor¡¯s questions. A loud thunder could be heard, but not only from the outside but also in their hearts. When they leave the hospital, Xia Xing Chen and Xu Yan¡¯s face are pale. * Xia home In the hall, Xia Xing Chen is kneeling on the ground. And Father Xia Guo Peng is sitting on a high chair with a cold face. ¡°Since you said that you are not pregnant with Xu Yan, then tell me, who is that baby¡¯s father?¡± He asked loudly. ¡°¡­ ¡­ I don¡¯t know.¡± Xia Xing Chen¡¯s voice float in the air. She also wanted someone to answer that question for her. ¡°You! don¡¯t you dare lie to me ah!¡± Xia Guo Peng got furious, ¡°bang¡± sound was heard, the palm of his hand hit the arm of the chair, ¡°I will ask again, who is that baby¡¯s father!?¡± ¡°Dad, no matter how many times you ask, I still don¡¯t know the answer.¡± Chapter 2 Chapter 2: Don¡¯t hurt the baby ¡°Guopeng, now I can see that your eldest daughter usually looks pure and clean, but secretly doing immoral things outside.¡± Xia Guopeng¡¯s wife Li Ling on the side is holding a fan and continue saying, ¡°If you¡¯re not going to disciple her, she might influence our Xing Kong to do bad things too.¡± ¡°Mom, what are you saying? I won¡¯t be like my sister ¡­ ¡­ No, what I mean is, I¡¯m not going to mess up with boys, not to mention, to get pregnant! I will certainly not lose my face¡±Xia Xing Kong words sounds pleasing to the ear and sounds gently soft, but it simply adds more fuel. Xia Xing Chen red at her, ¡°Xia Xing Kong, you shut up, OK? ¡°I ¡­ ¡­ I¡¯m sorry.¡± Xia Xing Kong eye¡¯s turn red in her grievance, ¡°Dad, I shouldn¡¯t have said anything, it made sister angry.¡± Xia Guo Peng angry face got stiffened, he got up and use the fan in his hand to p Xia Xing Chen in the face, ¡°You did something wrong and yet you still have this kind of attitude against your sister! Xing Kong didn¡¯t say anything wrong, Xia Xing Chen you really lose your face!¡± Xia Guo Peng p the fan in her face without hesitation so she felt her ear has buzzing sound inside. However, Xia Xing Chen only gritted her teeth and keep kneeling. She refused to admit it. She did nothing wrong! If there will be a chance to meet that man again. This injustice p she suffered, she will give it back! ¡°Immediately abort that baby!¡± Xia Guo Peng finally give his dreadful order. Xia Xing Kong sigh before leaving,¡±Sister, Brother Xu Yan is so good to you, you really shouldn¡¯t ¡­ ¡­¡± Xia Xing Chen heart felt pain like there was a needle that stabbing her, but she also knows that she is no longer worthy for Xu Yan now. * Xia Xing Chen took a school leave and go to the hospital to abort the child. Xia Li Ling followed her in the hospital, she got worried that there might have an ident. ¡°Xia Xing Chen!¡± The nurse called out her name, she stood up and felt like everything was just a nightmare. If she tried closing her eyes for a while and then wakes up, this nightmare might disappear. ¡°Take off your pants and lie in there, Nurse ready the anesthesia! ¡°The doctor¡¯s voice is cold. Xia Xing Chen lies on the operating table, she had done enough psychological preparation so she can calm the expression on her face. But now, she¡¯s having a cold sweat and she¡¯s shivering. She hated it. She hated that man who made her pregnant. But it¡¯s funny, right?¡­ ¡­ she didn¡¯t even know who that man is! The ridiculous thing, how did she met him? However, the operating room door was suddenly pushed. A dignified person wearing a white coat rush in. ¡°Dean!¡± The doctor and nurses got up and greeted him. Xia Xing Chen who¡¯s lying on the operating table didn¡¯t mind their courtesy. ¡°Xia Xing Chen! Which is Xia Xing Chen? Is there an ongoing operation here?¡± The dean asked them several times, after hearing the tone of his voice they got panic. Xia Xing Chen frown and slightly got up. The nurse pointed at her, ¡°Dean, are you looking for this Xia Xing Chen?¡± The Dean take out a photo and look at her face carefully, then he nodded,¡±Yes, she is! Have you started the operation?¡± ¡°We are ready Dean!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t remove the baby! No one is allowed to give her surgery!¡± The Dean gave the orders and everyone got puzzled. The Dean¡¯s assistant whispered on the doctor¡¯s ears:¡±We just received a phone call, any hospital who will operate to Miss Xia for abortion will face a big consequence.¡± The doctor got curious, ¡°Who called?¡± The Dean¡¯s assistant got closer to the doctor¡¯s ear and lowered his voice. When she mentioned the name, the doctor got startled and scared. For a long time, the doctor wasn¡¯t able to close his mouth. ¡°Miss Xia, pleasee out with us!¡± The Dean personally invited her. And someone has carefully assisted her to get down on the operating table, ¡°You better be careful, don¡¯t hurt the baby.¡± Xia Xing Chen frowned, she cannot understand, ¡°Why can¡¯t I abort the baby?¡± ¡°Miss Xia, don¡¯t ask the reason, as for the child you certainly can¡¯t get rid of it. The whole S country¡¯s hospital and doctors will not dare to receive you for abortion. If you don¡¯t mind, it is better to give birth in our hospital. Just go to my office for now, and I will personally give you a check up and some nutritional supplements.¡± ¡°Did the baby¡¯s father call you?¡± Xia Xing Chen keep staring at the Dean, her mood is surprisingly calm but her eyes are cold, ¡°Dean, who exactly is that person? what rights does he have to not allow me to abort this baby?¡± She hears the dean¡¯s assistant whispered the surname ¡°Bai¡±. However, she couldn¡¯t hear the rest. The Dean shook his head hard, ¡°Miss Xia, I hope you don¡¯t embarrass me, he is the baby¡¯s father. But I don¡¯t know who he is, if you don¡¯t want to give up, you can go to other hospitals to try.¡± Xia Xing Chen naturally will not give up. This baby cannot stay with her, so they transferred to other hospitals. However, every hospital they went into, took out a photo andpared her face. They also didn¡¯t do the surgery and just respectfully invited her into the dean¡¯s room to give her a lot of supplements. Chapter 3 Chapter 3: The child was taken away At first, Xia Li Ling felt quite disdain, she thought that the first Dean they met still tried to fool them when Xia Guo Peng is the city¡¯s vice mayor. After all, Xia Li Ling only followed her in the hospital but didn¡¯t witness the whole scene. But after they visit almost six hospitals and that exaggerated treatment they show to Xia Xing Chen, her jaw almost fell. Even a Deputy Mayor has no right and absolutely can¡¯t control all the hospitals! Therefore, the person behind all this must have a bigger influence than Xia Guo Peng, right? On that day, Xia Guo Peng heard the good news. He had beenpeting for the mayor¡¯s position, but he doesn¡¯t have too much hope. But now, the situation got reversed, the city mayor directly promoted him. And Xia Xing Kong who had been dreaming of joining a dance troupe for many years was directly got admitted. This dance troupe only receive international-ss dancers, so Xia Xing Kong is the first person receive such treatment. And all these things are prerequisite to let Xia Xing Chen¡¯s baby live! * At night. Back in the hospital, Xia Xing Chen¡¯s whole body is soaked in the bathtub and her thoughts are very chaotic. That man named ¡®Bai¡¯ in the end, who exactly he is? Why can he even control all the hospital in the whole country of S easily? Why can he even control the future of her father¡¯s career? Why did he make her pregnant with his baby and even stop her doing abortion? Since he wants this baby so badly, then ¡­ ¡­ does that mean that, as long as she let the baby live, sooner orter he will appear again? Having such thoughts, Xia Xingchen move out from the bathtub, she release a deep breath and already made another n. She really wants to see that mysterious man behind all this! That p she received she will really give it back! * Five yearster Xia Xing Chen thought that as long as she gave birth, that man will appear. However, she was disappointed. No! How could he? In this five years, she sessfully graduated from the foreignnguage course and look for a good job in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She also moved out from the Xia home. And Little Bai is four years old now, but that man still hasn¡¯t shown up. Not even once. Xia Xing Chen gradually forgot about that man. Now, she and her son had each other and they are enjoying their simple and ordinary life. She only prayed that no one will suddenly appear and destroy their happiness. She never regretted that she gave birth to her baby, although for these past few years, she suffered a lot from her grandfather and grandmother. After work, she took the key and open the door of their house, the little guy is leaning on the sofa and watching a boring financial program. ¡°Little Bai, are you a child? How can you just watch financial program and not those children programs? Do you want me to change it for you?¡± ¡°No! It is necessary for children to watch such program¡± Xia Dabai hardly refused. ¡°¡­ ¡­¡± Xia Xing Chen got speechless. She really can¡¯t understand why a four-year-old child will watch such a boring program! ¡°You¡¯re still a child, so watch children program. I will change it.¡± ¡°Okay, Okay, change it. I know dumb people cannot understand a financial program.¡± and he obediently handed the remote to her. ¡°¡­ ¡­¡± Xia Xing Chen head smoked and knock out his head, ¡°You¡¯re very annoying! Don¡¯t look down on my IQ ah! ¡± Xia Xing Chen felt like she picked up a big baby. He is not only well-behaved but also he doesn¡¯t cry like other children knowing that they don¡¯t have a father. Moreover, this little guy has very high IQ. In short, he likes to do things that she doesn¡¯t know. For example, watching the match making of the financial numbers on exhibition models and some puzzle games on television, for him, these are only a small case. Initially, Xia Xingchen felt that her IQ is sufficient to understand such things, butter, the number keeps rolling too much and she¡¯s not used to it. But still, in front of this pretty little guy, she tried to get ustomed herself. ¡°Ok, I will change my clothes and I¡¯ll take you out to dinner.¡± Xia Xing Chen patted his head. And he waved his little hand, ¡°Go! Go!¡± * Xia Xingchen took a bath, changed her suits and picks a yellow dress to wear. Although she is already a mother at the age 23, but the bright color of yellow really suits her white like snow skin. She properly dresses herself and walked out of the room, but found no trace of the child. ¡°Little Bai?¡± She called out but didn¡¯t hear the child¡¯s response. ¡°Xia Dabai,e out now. It¡¯s alreadyte.¡± Xia Xingchen pushed the door of his room. However, there was no one inside. Empty? She got startled. She doesn¡¯t know why her heart slightly stops beating and felt an ominous premonition. Xia Xingchen quickly went to his bathroom. Empty! It was also empty! ¡°Xia Dabai,e out quickly. Now is not the time to y hide and seek! If you won¡¯te out now I will really get angry!¡± She pretended to be angry and raised her voice. Usually, he wille out when she¡¯s already angry! But today ¡­ He ¡­ Xia Xingchen knows that he is not inside his room, and hurriedly went out to their house but she also found no trace of the child. She quickly picks up her cell phone to call her father to ask for help. ¡°Xingchen, I just saw your son!¡± She hasn¡¯t finished dialing her father¡¯s number when she heard their neighbor. Xia Xingchen suddenly felt relieve and holds her neighbor¡¯s hand, ¡°Did you really see him? Where is he?¡± ¡°I only saw theming downstairs, those several men wearing ck clothes are carrying him.¡± Xia Xing Chen¡¯s heart sank, she wanted to say thank you but it¡¯s all toote and she runs in a hurry. Is it a kidnapping? However, she is not rich and only a single mother. Where will she get the money for randsom? Her most valuable thing is Little Bai. Xia Xingchen rushed her steps. When she got near themunity area, she saw more than 10 luxurious cars are parked in a row. The surrounding residents have never seen such a parade. So they constantly looking around and very eager to get close to the cars, but they were stopped by the men wearing ck clothes. ¡°Xia Xingchen your son is in that car! Just go near them!¡± Someone pointed out the third ck Mercedez Benz car. Chapter 4 Chapter 4: Father is dead Xia Xing Chen rushed in, but the two men wearing ck suit blocked her way. They expressionlessly said: ¡°Miss, please step back. You can¡¯t get close to this area.¡± ¡°My son is kidnapped by you people? Why did you kidnap my son? I¡¯m warning you, give him back to me immediately or else I¡¯ll call the police!¡± Xia Xing Chen said and took out her cell phone. The two men didn¡¯t lose their calm appearance, ¡°Mr. Cab ¡­ ¡­ took away his son, he didn¡¯t vite anyw.¡± ¡°His son?¡± Xia Xing Chen got stunned for a moment. Is he ¡­? These people are sent by Little Bai¡¯s father? Xia Xingchen looks to the direction of the third ck Mercedez Benz car. The car window was notpletely lowered and she was far from it, but still she saw a man sitting in the back seat. At the side, the man who has a calm face, tall and straight figure seems to have heard hermotion. He didn¡¯t went down the car and just slightly nce at her with his cold ck eyes. Xia Xing Chen got stunned and couldn¡¯t breathe for a moment. The car slowly drives away and the manpletely disappeared in her eyes. The other men in the ck suit went back in their car and also left, she suddenly recovered her mind. He ¡­ ¡­ is Little Bai¡¯s father? ¡°Little Bai!¡± ¡°Xia Dabai!¡± She got panicked and wanted to catch up. Obviously, she has to catch up if she wanted to get her son back. She removed her high heeled shoes and run like crazy. No! He can¡¯t just cruelly take her child! And even ¡­ ¡­ Now, she didn¡¯t know exactly who that man is! ¡°Xing Chen, stop chasing! Those people are gone now! Instead, quickly find the police and tell them to check out the surveince video!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, with such a big show they can easily find those kidnappers! Are you sure you didn¡¯t offend anyone?¡± The neighbors are still talking about the incident, but Xia Xing Chen mind is still in mess. She really hoped Little Bai¡¯s father to appear, at least to let her have the opportunity to give back that one p in her face before. But now ¡­ He suddenly appeared and effortlessly took away her son. Such a shameless guy, so unfair, so unrighteous! That bastard! Is that guy a god or a ghost? Xia Xing Chen bitterly uttered those sentences, she crazily throws her high-heeled shoes towards the direction of those people who disappeared quickly. Just you wait, he must prepare his face when she met him!* * On the other side. Inside the vi, the atmosphere is very stiff. In the luxurious leather sofa, a man and a boy were sitting face to face and staring each other. Each of them has an expressionless look. ¡°Have you seen enough? If you¡¯re done now, please send me back home.¡± Xia Dabai was the first one who speaks. He just sits there calmly, he didn¡¯t panic like those any person who experience ¡®kidnapping¡¯, ¡°Tonight, If you don¡¯t let me go home, Xia Xingchen will be very sad. And if she gets sad, the consequences will be very serious!¡± His mother is likely going to punish him by kneeling in the washboard! And that would make him lose his face! Bai Yeqing didn¡¯t say anything but slightly nced on the cold coffee and Butler Leng Fei. Leng Fei immediately steps forward and took the cold coffee, he respectfully said: ¡°Young master, from today onward this will be your home.¡± Xia Dabai look around the house and eagerly turn his small head: ¡°Well, Xia Xing Chen can¡¯t find the money to buy me a house. And if I don¡¯t get a house, I won¡¯t be able to get a wife. With this big house, I can even get 10 wives to live here.¡± 10 wives? Leng Fei wants tough. With his small body, this child wants to live with 10 wives? Bai Yeqing who has been silent, suddenly snorted ¡°Your ambition is quite big.¡± ¡°It must be because I got used to those 10 wives that serve me well in my grandfather¡¯s house.¡± ¡°¡­ ¡­¡± Aren¡¯t those supposed to be servants and not wives? Leng Fei didn¡¯t interrupt his thought and only continued: ¡°Young Master, from today, you need to change your surname as ¡®Bai''¡± ¡°Bai Dabai? It sounds ugly, I don¡¯t want to change my surname.¡± Xia Dabai pouts his little mouth and looks dissatisfied, ¡°Besides, why do I need to change my surname as Bai?¡± ¡°Because Excellency is your father and his surname is ¡®Bai¡¯. So naturally your surname is ¡®Bai¡¯.¡± ¡°Father?¡± Xia Dabai was chewing this strange word and looked at the handsome man who sits opposite to him. He realized that his face has some simrity to him, but he felt cold, ¡°Are you sure that you are my father?¡± ¡°I am.¡± The man¡¯s words are very few. But every word is ringing in his ears. What? ¡°That¡¯s strange, Xia Xing Chen told me that my father is dead. Are you a ghost then?¡± ¡°¡­ ¡­¡± the man narrowed his eyes. And then he taps his finger on the sofa, the atmosphere suddenly turns cold. That woman, what is she teaching to my son? Leng Fei had a cold sweat, ¡°Young master, next time please don¡¯t mention this kind nonsense!¡± Isn¡¯t this an open curse to the president of S country? This is a big crime to bear! ¡°What Xia Xing Chen said is true, she would never lie to me! I want to go back now, you need to send me back and take responsibility for taking me away. ¡°After he finished, he crosses his small arms and legs. When he tried swinging his leg, he slipped down from the sofa. Leng Fei who was carrying the tray with coffee saw him and startedughing. Sure enough, your son has your genes! He is absolutely your son! You two are both stubborn! Bai Yeqing also looked at Xia Dabai. His eyes gradually turn deep when he observed him. His son is now four years old! That is really good! Obviously, It all thanks to that woman! ¡°Butler, lead him upstairs!¡± With his order, Leng Fei put down the tray and suddenly carried the little guy on his shoulders. And no matter how much Xia Dabai kicked his short legs, he can¡¯t break free from him. ¡°Viins! All of you are bad guys! Let me out! I hate you! ¡°For a long time, he can hear the child¡¯s resentment inside the locked room. Bai Yeqing who was still sitting on the sofa, thoughtfully looked upstairs. ¡°Your Excellency, what shall I do next?¡± Bai Yeqingmanded, ¡°Schedule a ss for him, starting with the most basic etiquette.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Then, how about young master¡¯s mother, Miss Xia Xingchen ¡­ ¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯ll arrange something.¡± * Xia Xing Chen felt crazy. She went to the police station and reported the kidnapping case, but after the long investigation, the police said that they can¡¯t find the record. Obviously, they are concealing this event. She was like a fly in a huge sea, where she can¡¯t find someone to ask for help. She is still an intern at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and yet she already applies for temporary leave. Although this leave is very unfavorable to her, but she no other choice. However, no matter how many people she asks to find her son, they didn¡¯t help her. Even her father Xia Guopeng, who is the city¡¯s mayor can¡¯t find the man¡¯s identity and her son. It feels like the world evaporated and didn¡¯t leave any trace. That day. Xia Xingchen felt at lost ande out to the police station when five ck cars slowly stop in front of her. Chapter 5 Chapter 5: Dreams into reality Xia Xingchen felt at lost ande out to the police station where five ck cars slowly stop in front of her. When the door was pushed open, a tall figure came down from the car. After Xia Xingchen had seen theirst parade. She didn¡¯t only prepared her heart this time, but also have alerted her mind. ¡°Miss Xia.¡± Leng Fei slightly bowed his head to her and said, ¡°Would you please take a trip with us?¡± Xia Xingchen frown, ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°Of course, you will know thatter.¡± ¡°Why are you so sure that I will go with you when you can¡¯t even exin your identity clearly?¡± Leng Fei smiled and said: ¡°Miss Xia, you can¡¯t find your son, right? If you really want to see young master Bai, then you need toe with us in this car.¡± When Xia Xingchen listens to his words, she understands what this guy clearly meant. They are determined to stop her from finding her son in this life. ¡°Ok, I¡¯ll go with you. After all, I¡¯d really wanted to know what you people are really nning to do.¡± Leng Fei didn¡¯t give much thought to her words and just smiled: ¡°I won¡¯t let you down.¡± He made a hand gesture. The driver came down and respectfully opened the door and wait for them to get in. * Along the way, Xia Xingchen heart felt uneasy. She doesn¡¯t know what exact situation she will have to face. After a while, Leng Fei brought her into an expensive looking manor. ¡°Young master Bai is still in the ss, so he will be backter. If you feel bored, you can walk around the house. But from today onwards, you will stay here with the young master. ¡± ¡°What?!¡± Xia Xingchen got surprised. However, Leng Fei words clearly not mean for discussion, but to inform her. ¡°Your room is upstairs, there will be a servant that will assist and help you to get familiar in this ce.¡± Leng Fei looked up at the time, ¡°Please take your time to take a shower and change clothes. After two hours, Master will personallye to meet you and thank you for all the years you have sacrifice. You can also think about how you want topensate. As long as Master can do it, he will not refuse you.¡± When Xia Xingchen heard him, she wanted tough and couldn¡¯t help but ridicule him: ¡°This is really funny! I need to take a bath and change my clothes first before I could meet him? What is he? A president?¡± However, Leng Fei didn¡¯t say anything and only smiled. He waves his hand to call the servant, ¡°I will now leave Miss Xia to you.¡± Originally, Xia Xingchen doesn¡¯t want to take a shower and change her clothes. But now, it was impossible for her to refuse. A few maids directly brought her into a luxurious bathroom and pressed her into the super deluxe jacuzzi. Xia Xingchen wants to struggle, but she felt toofortable under the water. She got so addicted that she doesn¡¯t want to move even fingers. This man must be really rich! Although, she¡¯s not very familiar with the ce and the prices of the furniture, but she can see that this house brick are priceless. And even the size of this bathroom is enough for her and her whole family to lived in. In fact, it¡¯s not too bad if she will give Xia Dabai to him! At least ¡­ ¡­ he can eat and drink without any worry, followed by her ¡­ ¡­ Xia Xingchen lies on the edge of the bathtub, trying tofort her mind, but her heart felt fear. What if Xia Dabai forgot everything about her now that he found such a rich father¡­ ¡­ The servant has been holding her clothes and was standing outside, waiting for her get out of the bath. Xia Xingchen looks at those elegant dresses, each of them is very expensive. Even though she is a daughter of a city mayor, she never had these expensive things. And now, each member of Xia Family only focuses on her sister. Xia Xingchen forced herself not to think about those bad things. ¡°He is very generous.¡± Xia Xingchen said in a ridicule tone, but also a little polite. And then, she directly put on the set. ¡°Miss Xia, you look very beautiful.¡± the servant praise her. ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Xingchen smiled, ¡°How long do I need to stay in the room?¡± ¡°You can go downstairs and have some tea.¡± Xia Xingchen asks in good voice and went down the stairs. She really can¡¯t wait to meet him! Xia Xingchen grabs the magazine on the sofa and turned the first ten pages at the same time. She only stops when she heard the sound of a car from outside. Xia Xingchen then saw that all the servants have trotted out. Although their pace is pretty fast, they didn¡¯t get stumble and they look well-trained. What is wrong with them? Xia Xingchen got even more puzzled when the old housekeeper who went to the wine cer came out fast. He was even fixing his bow tie while walking. When he see her, he said: ¡°Miss Xia, pleasee out with us! Master has arrived!¡± Xia Xingchen put down the magazine in her hands. Originally, she really wants to see this man. However, now that she was about to see him, her heart began to jump up fast. Xia Xingchen put her hands on the side and slightly pinch them tight to relieve her tension. Even today, she can still remember that lingering feeling in that dream¡­ ¡­ He had eagerly kissed her ¡­ Now, she really wants to see that person ¡­ ¡­ She followed the old housekeeper to go out. From afar, she saw several cars parked on the side of the manor. The second car door was opened and the man who had only appeared in her dream was still far and yet he had entered her line of sight immediately. From outside, the sun was shining brightly to the man who is about 188cm tall and dressed in a golden colored suit, followed by five people as he slowly approached her. The light was too bright, so she had to squint her eyes to clearly see the features of the man she had never seen. Her mind felt awe, she can¡¯t even move her eyes away when she saw him coldly and proudly walking. The exact man she thought would never exist in this world, appeared and stood in front of her. The tall man shadow almost covered up Xia Xingchen. For the first time, she felt small with her 165 cm height. With her small height, she needed to lift high her face to look at him. ¡°Xia Xingchen?¡± He looked down on her and speak out her name in a cold tone. This voice! In her dream, she had once ¡­ ¡­ Xia Xingchen¡¯s heart sudden got swayed, she felt a different kind of unexinable emotion. She gritted her teeth, tiptoe and wave her hand ¡­ ¡­ ¡°Pa -¡± sound, a loud sound suddenly sounded. The man¡¯s face who was caught off guard was pped. At the side, all the servants who are present had a cold sweat. My god! This woman ¡­ ¡­ does she know who she just pped? The President¡¯s perfect handsome face showed his dismay emotion. At that moment, the servants shudder because they know that there will be a storm at any moment. The five men behind him immediately step forward and tightly grab Xia Xingchen¡¯s shoulders. Chapter 6 Chapter 6: You are the President? The five men behind him immediately step forward in front and tightly grab Xia Xingchen¡¯s shoulders. ¡°How dare you!¡± Leng Fei eximed as he walked fast from Xia Xingchen who quickly skipped away. He carefully looks at Bai Yeqing¡¯s face: ¡°Your Excellency ¡­ ¡­¡± Bai Yeqing waves his hand to indicate that it¡¯s nothing. But he still looks cold as before that can make people dared not to breathe hard. ¡°Let me go! Why there¡¯s so many of you who tried to bully a single woman, what is a hero?¡± Xia Xingchen looks at them coldly and struggles hard. However, the two men who are holding her arms are well-trained, which is why she can¡¯t break free from them. She looked at to the handsome man and said, ¡°Tell your people to let go me. You still have an ount to settle with me so I will make you pay.¡± My God! This woman, does she really understand her situation? She actually dared to speak in this kind tone in front of the President? Everyone got shocked. Bai Yeqing stared in her eyes coldly, as if he wants to bury a hole in what she was wearing. Xia Xingchen felt a chill in her heart and got scared. But she didn¡¯t try to show it, she doesn¡¯t want to consider his power and prestige. Seeing this man ¡­ ¡­ She doesn¡¯t know if it¡¯s only an illusion, but she felt that ¡­ ¡­ he¡¯s a bit look familiar ¡­ ¡­ ¡°Bring her inside!¡± The man¡¯s words interrupted her further thoughts. But for the others that heard his words, their face got frozen stiff as they walk inside the manor. The sound of his voice startled Xia Xingchen. But the next moment, she was dragged rudely by his men. * At the huge study hall. All of his followers stayed outside, only Xia Xingchen and Bai Yeqing are inside. His hands are in his pockets while standing in front of the oval bookshelf high above her. His aura was too powerful, but because of his anger. Xia Xing felt that the atmosphere was depressing and it¡¯s very difficult to breathe. She swallowed a mouthful saliva and look at the man in front of her. It took her a long time before she was able to make a sound. ¡°You don¡¯t have an ount to settle with me, are you dumb?¡± The first one that breaks the silence was still her. However, Bai Yeqing stayed silent. Xia Xingchen couldn¡¯t help but think her grievances for all the years because of him. She steps forward and raised her hand wanting to p his face again. That p of her earlier was for the p she received five years ago and this p was for suddenly taking Xia Dabai! But¡­¡­ Her hand hasn¡¯t had a chance to fall when her wrist has been abruptly held by that man. His strength is so strong, at that moment Xia Xingchen thinks that her wrist got broken. ¡°Let go!¡± She struggled hard. However, her strength is just like an antpared to the man in front of her. So, how will she escape? Xia Xingchen got very angry and lowered her head to bite his hand. She bites him so hard and mercilessly. The man¡¯s hand started bleeding. Bai Yeqing knitted his eyebrows, his stares gets colder and colder. This woman is really challenging his temper! ¡°Xia Xingchen, that¡¯s enough!¡± He speaks in a low, but his tone implied a warning. ¡°Enough?¡± Sheughs while there are tears in her eyes,¡± Sir, I can also say that word to you. I will not give you my son, so please stop doing this and give him back to me!¡± ¡°That¡¯s not possible!¡± his words means that there is no room for discussion. If the child wouldn¡¯t stay by her side, Xia Xingchen probably cannot stand to live anymore. Xia Xingchen can feel that she was about to explode. She deeply breathes to forced herself to calm down and calmly said: ¡°Who are you anyway? A kidnapper? You just suddenly took away my son, did you know that this is illegal? My father is the city¡¯s mayor, do you know what will be the consequences if you wouldn¡¯t return my child?¡± She really doesn¡¯t want to pressure people, but now she has no other way. ¡°Bai Ye Qing.¡± The man didn¡¯t bother to listen to her series of words, he only lifted his thin lip to spit out three words. ¡°What?¡± ¡°My name.¡± ¡°Bai ¡­ ¡­ Ye ¡­ ¡­ Qing?¡± Xia Xingchen slowly mentions the three familiar words and then carefully look at the man in front of her. His perfect handsome face bes a little clearer in her eyes and then ¡­ ¡­ She was so ignorant. ¡°Mr. President ¡­?¡± She waspletely shocked. And for a long time, her mind turn nk and she felt a little dizzy. Am I dreaming? Xia Dabai¡¯s father is the new elected President Bai Yeqing! This is unbelievable! This is unbelievable! She stayed still and only looked at his hand that has deep tooth marks. Thinking about his identity, Xia Xingchen could only bite her lips. Bai Yeqing releases her hand, he took a step backward and kept a distance from her. He seemed got satisfied with her reaction, his cold face felt relieved: ¡°You will stay here and whatever problem may arise you can find the housekeeper.¡± ¡°You can continue your work as usual, no one will stop you. But for your safety, you must keep the child¡¯s identity a secret. You shouldn¡¯t reveal it in public ¡± Is that an order? Xia Xingchen slowly recovered from the shock. Publicity? Even if she shout to the world that her child is the President¡¯s son, who will believe her ah? ¡°¡­ I have something to ask.¡± Bai Yeqing looked at her, ¡°Ask.¡± ¡°Why me?¡± Xia Xingchen looked into his eyes deeply, ¡°Why did you choose me to give birth to your baby?¡± ¡°That¡¯s simple, there are only a few women who can give birth to my child. And you matches the blood type.¡± That¡¯s it? It¡¯s really simple ah! * After Bai Yeqing dropped a bomb in her mind, he left immediate because of work. Xia Xingchen sits on the sofa and still trying to digest that Xia Dabai¡¯s father is the president. Although, she can¡¯t believe it. But this fact can exin why his father got promoted easily as mayor and why all the hospital rejected her abortion. * Inside the car. When Leng Fei saw the bite marks on the President¡¯s hand, he got scared and surprised. It appears that Miss Xia Xingchen was still spitting a fire. From the side, he pulled out the medicine and gauze from the medical kit as he skillfully bandages his wound. Although it was only a small injury, but bite marks looks more ambiguous and is not a suitable injury for a President. ¡°How is Xia Xingchen¡¯s situation in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?¡± Bai Yeqing turned his head and casually asked. ¡°Although she is still an intern, the ministers like her very much. If she can keep it up she can work as an interpreter.¡± Bai Yeqing just faintly said ¡®Mmm¡¯ and ask no other question. Leng Fei also no longer open up the topic. He doesn¡¯t know what he will arrange for Xia Xingchen. Chapter 7 Chapter 7: Xia Xingchen¡¯s embarassment Xia Xingchen has no other choice, if she wants to stay close to her son, she can only stay here. But¡­¡­ After that day, Bai Yeqing was like a bubble thatpletely disappeared. It¡¯s been a month already since he appeared in that Manor. Xia Xingchen sometimes feels that man as her own imagination. However, he was not. On television, there is always news about him. Xia Dabai is like her before, they never cared about political news. But now, once the time turn 7:00 in the evening he will squat down in front of the television and will not go anywhere just to see that man who will asionally appear on the screen. When the news had finished, he will go back to his room and do his homework. Xia Xingchen knows that he was thinking of his father. The next day, she didn¡¯t expect to see him in the Manor. That night, the atmosphere is very quiet. Xia Xingchen couldn¡¯t sleep. In a few more days, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will receive an important visitor, so she had to prepare some of the avable information. When she entered the study, all the servants was already sleeping. The whole building was so quiet and there was no sound. She¡¯s been living here for a month now, so she was quite familiar in this study room. The book she wants to use is ced on the top part of the shelve. But, too bad she has fear of heights! Xia Xingchen got upset. However, she still climbs up the stairs. Bai Yeqing was very busy for a whole month and he just got back to the Manor. When he heard a noise from the study room, he became cautious and immediately came inside. When he pushed the door and lifted his eyes, he saw her. Apparently, Xia Xingchen just took a bath and was wearing a white silk nightgown, her curly hair was scattered down through her waist that made her look thinner. Her appearance looks like a ko that was climbing the stairs. She seems to have a fear of heights because her white legs under the white nightgown are trembling. Her white jade-like toes that turn red from tension are unexpectedly looked¡­ ¡­ cute. This woman, what the hell is she doing? Does she know that she looks like a tasty snack in front of this man? Bai Yeqing couldn¡¯t help but think of that night five years ago. His eyes color turn deep, as he moves closer to her direction:¡±What are you doing?¡± He speaks in a cold tone as usual. Xia Xingchen nervously climbed up the stairs. She felt delighted when she get the thick book she needed by herself. But, the sudden sound scared her and she got shocked. She suddenly turned back and fell from the stairs. The book that she get also fall on the ground. Bai Yeqing knitted his eyebrows and instinctively reach out his arms. When he recovered, he smells a fresh fragrance of breath. A soft and tender body of a woman was tightly wrapped in his arms. The two of them fall together on the carpet. Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t expect that he would suddenly appear in the study room. Also, she had never thought that he would save her. Therefore, she had stared at him for a long while. Her whole body is on top of him. In such a quiet environment, Xia Xingchen can clearly hear his strong heartbeat, the smell of his body has a unique fragrance¡­ ¡­ Their nose tip is almost so close. His handsome face made Xia Xingchen forget to move away. Honestly, he looks handsome on television, but right now he¡¯s even more good-looking. His deep ocean¡¯s eyes made her heart get shocked. Xia Xingchen did not only forgot to say ¡®thank you¡¯, but also forgot to get up and move away from his body. ¡°Have you seen enough?¡± his thin lips tilted a cold sound. Xia Xing Chen suddenly recovered her mind. She got aware of their weird position and that she has been staring at him fiercely. She got embarrassed and blush in shame. Xia Xingchen you should be ashamed of yourself! ¡°¡­ ¡­ I¡¯m sorry ¡­ ¡­ go up immediately.¡± Xia Xingchen doesn¡¯t know why she¡¯s getting nervous and even her words are tidying. That¡¯s enough! Xia Xingchen dared not look at Bai Yeqing¡¯s eyes and pretended to be calm while getting up from his body. But when she got up, she suddenly felt a burst of pain from her scalp. ¡°Mmm ¡­ ¡­¡± She made a low cry and forcefully pulled herself away, but she was pulled back again. Thus, her face directly got nted on his lower body. Oh my god! I really want to bury myself! ¡°Xia Xingchen, what are you doing ?!¡± Bai Yeqing eyes turn cold and his breathing abruptly increased. His face turnspletely ugly. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry ¡­ ¡­¡± Xia Xingchen immediately apologized. Her face turns red due to the embarrassment. She doesn¡¯t know where she will put her gaze and she hardly said: ¡°My hair hook ¡­ ¡­ on your zipper ¡­ ¡­ don¡¯t move ¡­ ¡­ ¡± Xia Xingchen tried to hold the tip of her hair. This is really crazy! Of all the ces, why does it have to be on his zipper?! This ce is really embarrassing! If she identally slips her fingers, she will be able to touch that thing, right? She pulled her hair several times, but because she was impatient her hair got more tangled. Xia Xingchen got even more anxious, the tip of her nose started sweating, but she still didn¡¯t dare to look at his zipper. Although, she already experience that thing on that night five years ago, but she can feel that Bai Yeqing¡¯s body is getting more and more stiff. Xia Xingchen felt that her mouth got dry and felt thirsty, she still didn¡¯t dare to look down, but she had to ask him for help, ¡°What should I do? Can you help¡­¡± Bai Yeqing gritted his teeth, ¡°It¡¯s your own fault!¡± ¡°¡­ ¡­¡± This President is too irresponsible! He can even stand still in this kind of situation! Xia Xingchen bites her lips and carefully ask: ¡°¡­ ¡­ May I try to pull down your zipper ¡­ ¡­?¡± Bai Yeqing fiercely red at her and whispered a warning: ¡°I dare you to give it a try!¡± ¡°Then, what should I do?¡± Xia Xingchen got upset, ¡°I can¡¯t keep this posture. Otherwise ¡­ ¡­ I promise I won¡¯t look at it!¡± Bai Yeqing really wants to get a scissor and cleanly cut all her hair. Xia Xingchen really afraid to face death, she tightly closed her eyes and her slender fingers touch his zipper. But, the result¡­¡­ Bai Yeqing snorted and gritted his teeth: ¡°Xia Xing Chen, where do you think your touching?!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m sorry, I closed my eyes so I cannot see ¡­ ¡­¡± Xia Xingchen got scared and pulled back her hand, and then whispered: ¡°That¡¯s why I said you do it!¡± ¡°Are youining?¡± ¡°No ¡­ ¡­¡± She muttered while trying to reach out her hand. But this time, it seems she touches his hand. She opened her eyes and saw that Bai Yeqing was staring at her. Bai Yeqing was very reluctant to pull down his zipper. But, if she will let this woman do it, then sooner orter she will set a fire! He pulled down his zipper, while Xia Xingchen lowered her head and tried to pull her hair. But identally, her eyes fell on the top of the zipper and the next moment her face turn red. With just one look, Xia Xingchen remembered that night five years ago. They were doing those things, all of a sudden her breathing became chaotic and her palm got sweaty. ¡°Have you seen enough?¡± Bai Yeqing stared at her with his eyes wrapped in fire. Oh my god! Xia Xingchen suddenly turn her face and cough: ¡°I didn¡¯t see anything ¡­ ¡­¡± He didn¡¯t hesitate to expose her, ¡°Yes, you didn¡¯t see anything, but you¡¯ve been staring at it, right?¡± ¡°¡­ ¡­¡± Xia Xingchen got embarrassed, she really wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. Fortunately, she was able to pull out her hair. She hurriedly gets up and flees. It was also toote to pick up the book on the ground. Bai Yeqing sat up while looking at her back and his breathing got a bit messy. Damn it! This woman, did she really not do it intentionally? * Xia Xingchen went back to her room, but suddenly she felt thirsty. She took a cold water, but ssh it in her face that looks like a big red tomato. Really ¡­ ¡­ This is terrible! How could she just stare at him, ah!? Even if ¡­ ¡­ that man looks very sexy, but still, that¡¯s too¡­ ¡­ She doesn¡¯t know what to think about herself! ¡°Little Bai, what¡¯s wrong? Do you want to y in the middle of the night?¡± Xia Dabai got awakened, he sat up and look at her with his blurry eyes. ¡°No, no. Mommy ¡­Are you doing maintenance on your face ah!?¡± Xia Xingchen thinks for some excuse and said: ¡°This will help your blood cirction.¡± ¡°Oh, but your blushing like a pig. It seems like ¡­ you are ¡­ shy.¡± Oops! Her son¡¯s eyes are sharp! ¡°Shy? What are you saying? Don¡¯t spit nonsense and just lie down and sleep.¡± Xia Xingchen climbed on the bed and hug him tight in her arms. Xia Dabai didn¡¯t inquire anymore, he leans on her and obediently sleeps. After a while, he drowsily asked: ¡°Father didn¡¯te to see me?¡± Xia Xingchen¡¯s heart felt a bit pain. It seems that tomorrow, she really should find a good opportunity to talk to that man. Chapter 8 Chapter 8: Unforgettable old feelings Xia Xing Chen felt drowsy and was about to fall asleep when she vaguely heard the door¡¯s sound. The room is very dark, there are no lights, but she could vaguely see a tall man was slowly walking toward the bed. Then, he silently leans and kisses Xia Dabai¡¯s forehead. Xia Dabai kicked off the quilt, but he carefully ced it back. The moonlight outside the window shone on the man¡¯s face. His expression is always as indifferent, but, just like before, he¡¯s more handsome than in the television news and in addition, his temperament is a bit colder. Xia Xingchen smiles. It seems that Xia Dabai misunderstood him. How could he not want to see him? * The next day morning. After washing Xia Xingchen took her son downstairs. The two of them were bouncing their body on the stairs while talking andughing all the way to the dining area. But, when the servants opened the elegant doors and they were brought inside, they immediately became silent when they saw a person was sitting on the table. The atmosphere suddenly bes cold. With his powerful aura, a person will not dare to act arbitrarily. ¡°Good Morning Young master and Miss Xia.¡± The butler that was standing behind the man greeted them. ¡°Good Morning.¡± At first, Xia Xing Chen carefully greeted and pulled the chair for Xia Dabai. When she look at the man who was quietly sitting and reading the newspaper, she suddenly remembered thest night¡¯s event and felt embarrassed. ¡°Good morning, Mr. President,¡± she said uneasily. ¡°Mmm,¡± he said ¡°¡­¡­¡± That¡¯s it?¡­ ¡­ Xia Xingchen felt more embarrassed and thought that this man is quite bad inmunicating. ¡°I thought you wouldn¡¯te back.¡± ¡°Why?¡± Bai Yeqing put away the newspaper and respond rather different to Xia Dabai unlike to Xia Xingchen. The difference in treatment is rather obvious. Xia Xingchen secretly murmur. ¡°You didn¡¯te back for a long time. I thought you regretted it and no longer want me, are you not?¡± Xia Dabai asked. Xia Xingchen was eating a cake for breakfast, she stops for a bit and subconsciously looks at Bai Yeqing¡¯s eyes. Apparently, Bai Yeqing didn¡¯t expect his son to ask such a question and got startled for a moment, then said: ¡°You will always be my son, I never regretted that I brought you here and will never be.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Xia Dabai frowns his thin eyebrows while looking at him. Xia Xingchen also thinks if he was saying the truth. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, your father said so. I¡¯m sure what he said is true.¡± Xia Xingchen touched her son¡¯s small head to appease his sensitive heart. ¡°Ok, eat your breakfast now.¡± She speaks very gently to Xia Dabai. Bai Yeqing couldn¡¯t help but look at her eyes. This pair of eyes of her is very difficult to look at when he thinks that she is the same woman that p him in the face. Xia Xingchen put a small cake in front of Xia Dabai. She smiled when he started eating the cake and said: ¡°It¡¯s delicious, right? Little Bai, if you listen to your father always certainly he will like it.¡± ¡°Really?¡± Xia Dabai asked. But, Xia Xingchen was uncertain so she looks at Bai Yeqing. However, He has already withdrawn his eyes and just quietly read the newspaper again in an elegant posture. The mother and son didn¡¯t bother him anymore and just continued eating in a lively atmosphere. In just one look, you will think that they aren¡¯t living in the same world. In the end, Xia Xingchen gave him a cake and a green tea for him to have breakfast. He lifted his eyes to take a look, but he didn¡¯t say anything. ¡°Miss Xia, I¡¯m sorry but did you wash your hands first?¡± When the butler saw her action, he quickly took the gloves and started disinfecting the teacup and the saucer te. Then, he personally and carefully handed it in front of the President. So, that what is it? He¡¯s suspecting that I¡¯m dirty? Xia Xingchen got stunned and felt embarrassed. Hepletely didn¡¯t appreciate her thought, but it¡¯s not like she can force him to do so. She doesn¡¯t dare to do that nor has the ability. At that moment, Xia Xingchen thinks that maybe it¡¯s better if they will just throw it outside! ¡°Since Mr. President think that it is dirty, then I¡¯ll just eat it.¡± Xia Xingchen opens up her mouth wide and eats the cake. Bai Yeqing looks at her but didn¡¯t say a word. He had never seen a woman that dared not pay attention to their image. And which women didn¡¯t bother to chew the cake that they were eating ah? Xia Dabai felt a little depressed and thinks that the chance for her mother to get his father¡¯s attention is very slim! * After a few days, President Bai Yeqing became busy once again. Xia Xingchen bes quite busy herself too. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will meet the British Prime Minister. Xia Xingchen is only an intern but was not left out. On the same day, the British Prime Minister¡¯s car slowly came. She followed behind the staffs of Ministry of Foreign Affairs to greet and wee the visitors near the entrance. The car stopped and a bunch of British Prime Minister¡¯s follower gets off from the car. Among them was an eye-catching easterner person. And that man is ¡­ Xia Xingchen was standing at the back of the crowd but recognized the man immediately. After Five years, he looks more mature and stable than before. He was standing in the row of outstanding Westerners, but whether his temperament or height didn¡¯t make him look inferior. On the side, Chi Weiyang suddenly pulled her shirt¡¯s cuff and quietly said: ¡°Xu Yan ¡­ ¡­¡± Xu Yan. Yes, that man is Xu Yan. Xia Xingchen¡¯s eyes got fixed upon him and didn¡¯t get separated. He was following the crowd and was getting closer and closer to her. And then ¡­ ¡­ He just slightly turns his head and yet his sight immediatended on Xia Xingcheng. When the man saw her he got surprised. The man¡¯s footsteps stop and they look at each other. Xia Xingchen pinches her fingers until it turns red. * Fortunately, Xia Xingchen and Chi Weiyang are just an intern so they didn¡¯t need to attend the state meeting so their next work is much easier. At around midday, they finally finished their work and they can finally rx. Xia Xingchen holds her chopsticks and slowly eat her rice. Chi Weiyang who was sitting across from her look at her and ask: ¡± Are you all right?¡± ¡°Mmm, do you need anything?¡± Xia Xingchen smiled and pretending to rx. ¡°That ¡®s fine, I know you better than anyone else.¡± ¡°¡­ ¡­¡± Xia Xingchen no longer speak. It will be foolish if she will continue to debate with her. ¡°Xu Yan is really handsome ah! I was listening to all those little girls while they are talking about him. But, I guess he has a girlfriend now.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not surprising because he is really handsome and kind. That¡¯s why there are a lot of girls that chase after him one after another.¡± Xia Xingchen gently said. Chi Weiyang coldly snorted: ¡°That year, if only that bastard didn¡¯t get you pregnant, you and Xu Yan wouldn¡¯t break up. In the end, we still don¡¯t know who that bastard is. And if ever you will find out his identity just tell me immediately and I will make sure to take off my shoes and p it in his face!¡± ¡°¡­ ¡­¡± Bai Yeqing cold image immediately pops up in Xia Xingchen¡¯s mind. She was about tough but still control herself and just smile when she imagines the scene where Chi Weiyang pping that man¡¯s face. That scene will certainly be exciting! Chi Weiyang stared at her: ¡°I mean it, but you dare tough at it!¡± ¡°Ok, If ever I will find out who¡¯s Xia Dabai¡¯s father is. I will tell you immediately. So don¡¯t forget to give him a good p for me.¡± ¡°Trust me, I will really do it!¡± Chapter 9 Xia Xingchen pretended that she still doesn¡¯t know who Xia Dabai¡¯s father because she doesn¡¯t dare to say that, that person is the President of their country. Chi Weiyang has changed the topic and said: ¡°I heard that tonight, the President wille to ourpany¡¯s party program.¡± ¡°Oh? Why I haven¡¯t heard that?¡± ¡°I just heard it from the Secretary when I passed by.¡± ¡°¡­ ¡­ Oh.¡± Xia Xingchen couldn¡¯t say much because she hasn¡¯t seen Bai Yeqing for several days. ¡°Howe your respond is so dull?¡± Chi Weiyang excitedly said, ¡°Just by thinking that I¡¯ll be able to see the President I¡¯m getting deadly nervous! When I saw him on television before, he looks very handsome. I¡¯m not sure if he looks more handsome in person than on TV.¡± ¡°What¡¯s the use of being handsome, if he is cold like an iceberg.¡± Xia Xingchen muttered. ¡°What are you talking about? Who¡¯s like an iceberg?¡± ¡°¡­ Nothing, you will know it when you see it.¡± Xia Xingchen got afraid, so she didn¡¯t dare to say it in her own mouth. That day, she didn¡¯t saw Xu Yan again. He got so busy because he is the British Prime Minister¡¯s chief trantor, so naturally, he will always have to follow him. * At night, indeed President Bai arrived and as always, the Foreign Minister led all the staff in front of the entrance. Across the crowd, Xia Xingchen looked at the superior man and didn¡¯t dare to get close to him. He looks like a dazzling sun in the sky and she looks like a dust on the ground. The difference between the two of them is big even if they have a child. Fortunately, they are not in love and she will never fall in love with this man, otherwise, her life will be more miserable. Xia Xingchen was still in deep thoughts when Chi Weiyang quietly pinch her hand again. She turned her head and saw that her face looks like a pink peach due to excitement as she keeps staring at President Bai¡¯s face. My gosh! Can¡¯t she control herself at some point? However, when she turn around she found out that all the married or unmarried women almost have the same reaction. Xia Xingchen stood calmly in the crowd, it seems she was out of ce. This man is a big disaster! Bai Yeqing just entered the building and didn¡¯t even nce at Xia Xingchen. Chi Weiyang ended up depressed and said: ¡°The President didn¡¯t even look at us!¡± ¡°There were so many people and he didn¡¯te here to look at us. So, stop dawdling, let¡¯s change our clothes and went to the party.¡± * After a few more minutes, the party will start. The fireworks gorgeously rose across the sea. Xia Xingchen wears a royal blue gown and went out from the dressing room. She was about to rush to the party but saw a familiar figure, so she abruptly stops on that spot. In just one look, her heart beats be messy. Xu Yan. His deep eyes on the surface didn¡¯t skip to look at Xia Xingchen. She holds her handbag and carried her long skirt while walking close to him with tension. ¡°Long time no see.¡± In the end, Xu Yan made the opening. Xia Xingchen smile and said, ¡°Yes, I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here.¡± Xu Yan looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and couldn¡¯t help but praise her: ¡°This dress looks beautiful on you.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Then, two of them have a moment of silence and didn¡¯t say a word. Their hearts still want to talk with each other, but their lips don¡¯t know where to start and the atmosphere bes quite embarrassing. ¡°Brother Xu Yan!¡± At this moment, a sweet voice suddenly sounded. Xia Xingchen¡¯s body got stiff when a petite figure run over and hold Xu Yan¡¯s arm: ¡°Brother Xu Yan, I told you we can meet here, right?¡± It turns out to be ¡­ ¡­ Xia Xingkong ¡­ ¡­ Xia Xingchen suddenly remembers that the International Dance Troupe will perform a dance number in tonight¡¯s event. However, she didn¡¯t expect Xia Xingkong to be with them and ¡­ ¡­ why she and Xu Yan¡­ ¡­ Xia Xingchen line of sight falls on Xia Xingkong¡¯s hand that was holding Xu Yan¡¯s arm. Xu Yan felt ufortable and stiffly brushed off Xia Xingkong¡¯s hands out from the hands: ¡°Xingkong, we¡¯re in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs so don¡¯t do this.¡± ¡°Why not? We are lovers and now there is no stranger near us anyway.¡± Xia Xingkongughs in happiness. Xia Xingchen felt bored. ¡°Elder Sister? It was you!¡± Xia Xingkong pretended that she didn¡¯t notice Xia Xingchen¡¯s presence. She releases her hand to Xu Yan and pulls Xia Xingchen¡¯s hands: ¡± Elder Sister, what a coincidence! I didn¡¯t expect to meet you here. I just return from home and wanted to see you, but they said you already move out.¡± ¡°You two can chat, I still have a work so I can¡¯t apany you.¡± Xia Xingchen can¡¯t take Xia Xingkong fake well-behaved attitude so she pulled back her hand and ready to go. But, Xia Xingkong pulled her once again and said: ¡°Elder Sister, don¡¯t rush. Let¡¯s chat a little longer.¡± ¡°Brother Xu Yan, I want to drink coffee, can you help me to get a cup of coffee?¡± Xu Yan looked at Xia Xingkong¡¯s eyes and quietly look at Xia Xingchen. In the end, he didn¡¯t say anything and just turned around to go. When Xu Yan left, she releases Xia Xingchen¡¯s hand andughs as she put on her cold attitude. ¡°He¡¯s my boyfriend now, so, stay away from him!¡± Xia Xingkong said her warning. Xia Xingchen has long been ustomed to her different set of face andughs: ¡°For five years, your fake color and hypocritical face didn¡¯t change a bit.¡± ¡°That¡¯s better than acting pure, but in reality was messing secretly with who knows the man is it. Xia Xinchen you can¡¯t me for reminding you that you should feel ashamed of yourself. Brother Xu Yan doesn¡¯t deserve someone like you!¡± Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t get angry and just glimpse to Xia Xingkong: ¡°Since you think that I¡¯m like that, then you better guard your Brother Xu Yan, right? But seriously, in five years you really didn¡¯t even grow a little?¡± ¡°You!¡± Xia Xingkong choked in anger. At that moment, Xu Yan was still carrying the coffee when he rushes over them. Xia Xingkong immediately changes the expression on her face into a smiling flower. Xu Yan got worried about them, but said: ¡± I must enter now the venue, and you ¡­ ¡­¡± ¡°Then you go ahead, I still have some time, so my sister and I will keep chatting a little longer.¡± ¡°Ok.¡± Xu Yan didn¡¯t think too much and hurried away because his work is too tight. Xu Yan walks away and Xia Xingkong¡¯s face change once again. She sshes the coffee in her hand to Xia Xingche¡¯s body without any warning. Xia Xingchen holds her breath. Her royal blue gown has a low cut design, so the hot coffee directly flow on her chest. And soon, her chest turn red. Damn! Xia Xingchen got angry. Xia Xingkong innocently smiles and said:¡±Sorry, the coffee slips from my hand. However, my elder sister, remember not to wear such a style in front of someone else¡¯s boyfriend. Other people will feel jealous.¡± She said and turn around to walk away before Xia Xingchen could even react.

Chapter 10 She said and turn around to walk away before Xia Xingchen could even react. Xia Xingchen got angry and felt embarrassed. But right now, she is in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and as a staff she should pay attention to her image. So right now, she can¡¯t approached Xia Xingkong and get noisy with her. ¡°Mr. President ¡­¡± Xia Xingchen was going to tidy up herself when she heard a voice not far away from her. In her astonishment, she confusedly look back and saw Bai Yeqing. She doesn¡¯t know when exactly did he appeared in the long corridor behind her. Bai Yeqing looks more almighty and powerful with all the henchmen that was coldly following behind him. At that moment, all the people in the party stand upright. Their face showed full of worship and reverence for him and his men. This man¡¯s handsomeness is enough to make all the women loses their mind ah! However, at this moment, Xia Xingchen¡¯s heart only feel grievances for him. Especially, after she sees Xu Yan and Xia Xingkong together. If he didn¡¯t deliberately picked her up to be his baby¡¯s mother, she will not lose her love and wouldn¡¯t get affected by Xia Xingkong¡¯s provocation. President Bai Yeqing keeps walking forward. While, Xia Xingkong almost forgot to breath and almost fainted in excitement when the perfect man gets closer and closer to her.However, the perfect man just walked past by her and instead went towards Xia Xingchen. Bai Yeqing didn¡¯t even nce at her, as if she¡¯s only made of thin air or just simply didn¡¯t exist.Xia Xingkong turned around in disbelief and stared at Xia Xingchen. ¡°Why you!¡±¡°Hello.¡± Xia Xingchen bowed her head slightly in an attitude that is not cold toward Bai Yeqing. Bai Yeqing frowned his eyebrows, but didn¡¯t say anything. He hold her chin and slightly lifted her embarrassed face. He look at her neck, all the way down to her ¡­ ¡­ The strength in his hand is not light, so Xia Xingchen felt the pain with his pinching. Her heart felt grievances more and more. Bai Yeqing stare at her with his eyes that is not angry nor calm. Even though Xia Xingchen¡¯s heart felt more grievances, but she didn¡¯t dare to move. However, she doesn¡¯t understand what this man is nning to do and¡­ ¡­ The two of them where standing close together. His slender fingers was touching her face and his fingertips is somewhat hot. And because of that, Xia Xingchen inexplicable feel hot and her heart started to beat fast. And ¡­ ¡­ his line of sight: Where exactly is he looking at ah? Is he looking at my chest!? ¡°Ahm, Mr. President ¡­ ¡­¡± Xia Xingchen said and pursed her lips to break the ice. But after that, her body got stiff like a fossil instantly. At that moment, President Bai Yeqing releases her and look at Leng Fei, then said: ¡°Look for a doctor and ask him toe.¡± ¡°Yes, sir!¡± When Leng Fei heard his words, he no longer stay beside him and immediately turn around to leave. When that happens, Xia Xingkong¡¯s eyes slightly look at Xia Xingchen. Her dark line of sight made Xia Xingchen¡¯s back felt the chill. Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t move for a long time. But when Bai Yeqingpletely disappear, she touches her face, as if she was feeling the remaining temperature of Bai Yeqing¡¯s hand. So¡­ ¡­ he look at my chest because it was burning red? If that is the case, then it seems that man ¡­ ¡­ is not that annoying. At that moment, Xia Xingkong also recovered her mind. When she saw what just happened, she couldn¡¯t help but sarcasticallyugh and said: ¡°Sister, why don¡¯t you look at your face that was longing for love?¡± Xia Xingchen turn around and give her a supercilious look: ¡°Your expression look a bit more like that, than I.¡± ¡°I already have Big Brother Xu Yan that¡¯s why I¡¯m not longing for love anymore.¡± Xia Xingkong proudly said and continue: ¡°But, let me give you an advice sister. Mr. President is just kind to his people. And for someone like you who already have a child, your not fit to be with the President, just like how your not fitted to be with Xu Yan. So, don¡¯t even dream about it!¡± Xia Xingchen smiled, ¡°Mr. President is indeed kind to his people. But even though he is kind, he just treated you like a thin air.¡± ¡°¡­ ¡­¡± Xia Xingkong got angry again, but couldn¡¯t refute her. Until, someone hurried over and ask, ¡°Miss, who is Miss Xia? ¡°Both of us!¡± Xia Xingkong said in a bad tone. ¡°Miss Xia Xingchen.¡± The other person on the side added. ¡°¡­ ¡­¡± Xia Xingkong just closed her lips and didn¡¯t say a word. The other person¡¯s line of sight fell on Xia Xingchen, then smile and respectfully said: ¡°Miss Xia Xingchen, pleasee with us. The President order us, to treat your injury.¡± Xia Xingchen went along with them. While Xia Xingkong could only stay on that spot and stomp her feet in anger! This woman really have a good luck! In fact, it is not an injury, but some redness in the skin. Xiao Xingchen received a simple treatment. But because of this she could no longer wear her dress and just wear her work clothes. And in a group of people that were wearing a grand dresses, only her stands out because of her different attire that was out of tune. Xia Xingchen sit at the back, which is too far from the first row. However, that man is still so dazzling. So even though he is very far from, she could still see him clearly. The people around him are also powerful figures, but each one of them bow their head in front of him to show respect. ¡°Stop looking! Instead, look at the person who was staring at you!¡± Chi Weiyang shook her hand in front of her. Xia Xingchen realized that she was not actually paying attention to the programs, but stared at Bai Yeqing. She felt embarrassed and guilty, so she casually said: ¡°The program is going smooth ah!¡± ¡°Come on, I know you are looking at our president, but I¡¯m not gonna make fun of you. If you don¡¯t stare at a charming person, that would be more strange for me ¡­ ¡­ But, look also on your right side. Xu Yan has looked back at you several times now. Hey, does that mean Xu Yan is still interested on you? You two can still make it!¡± Xia Xingchen¡¯s hand pressed tightly her knees and took a deep breath. Then inly said: ¡°He is now Xia Xingkong¡¯s boyfriend. Do you think¡­ ¡­ we can still make it work?¡± Due to her ignorance, Chi Weiyang forgot to close her mouth and look like big goose. But the next moment, she couldn¡¯t help but cursed: ¡°Did she blinded his eyes? That Xia Xingkong is a bitch! When you and Xu Yan are still dating. I could already sense that she¡¯s not simple. And now, she finally exposed herself!¡± ¡°Shh ¡­ ¡­¡± Xia Xingchen made a gesture to silence her. Now, they are in the Foreign Ministry of the lobby. In which all the big men are present, if those people heard her, it will be put them in terrible situation. When Chi Weiyang realized it, she quickly covered her mouth and closed her lips. In the end, Xia Xingchen couldn¡¯t stop herself to look at Xu Yan. But, she didn¡¯t wait for him to look back and just look away quickly. Her chest felt tight and slightly felt bitter. The world really change. Before, she didn¡¯t even think or consider that Xu Yan and Xia Xingkong will be together.

Chapter 11 part1 April27 CHAPTER 11- Part 1- Good Morning, Mr.President! After the party, the President left first. Xia Xingchen was standing near the bench of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when she saw Xia Xingkong looking so happy and proud like a peacock at Xu Yan, while the other members of Ministry¡¯s eye were full of envy. Chi Weiyang was beside her, feeling so unpleasure and angry. Xia Xingchen looked from afar, indeed, what was wrong? In fact, who decided to break their rtionship was Xu Yan because of her unwanted pregnancy. Even though, her heart still experienced some emptiness. She went home by car when the night has been very deep. At 11 o¡¯clock in the evening, Xia Dabai and Butler Leng Fei were sleeping. So the mansion is especially quite at this moment. She put her bag on the sofa and went quickly in the kitchen. Xia Xingchen was so busy tonight that she did not even have dinner. She was very hungry and need to feed her grumbling stomach. The refrigerator has an elevation. The small person could not really reach it unless you are not like as tall as President. It was two days when she and Xia Dabai brought out a pack of dumplings in the most corner of the refrigerator. Before, they have time to eat their favorite dumplings, but since they lived in that house they lost their time to each other. Xia Xingchen put the fire, boiled water, and ced the dumplings. After a while, she looked for seasoning and brought out the sauce. After 10 minutes, the dumplings had already been prepared. Xia smelt the dumplings in a bowl and sniffed. ¡°Smells good¡±¡­.Xia said, Suddenly, she felt more hungry. Because she could not go to in the restaurant, she was so hungry and had been hiding secretly in the kitchen. She has immediately swallowed it at one time, her feet bounced from the hot, ¡°hot! hot!¡± while she blew her open mouth. The kitchen door was open. She suddenly turned around when she felt there was somebody walked and stopped. Chapter 11 part2 May16CHAPTER 11- Part 2- GMMP- Indirect kiss ¡°Cough, cough.¡± Almost half of the dumplings choke her. She coughed and covered her chest. Her face was red. ¡°You¡­Why are you always so difficult to find?¡± The president had some interrogative bitter feeling. Furthermore, he usually returned earlier than her. She had no idea that he was in the middle of the night and was wearing ck robes. Hmmm¡­sexy man? But, as usual, people feel ovee. Xu Yan nced at her without paying attention and stepped into the kitchen sink. Xia Xingchen was chewing dumplings and feeling bored and her eyes could not wonder and was curious at him. He was walking back and forth to open the refrigerator, his eyebrows raised, seems he found what he was looking for. Xia Xingchen saw the president, obviously was same like her, searching food in the middle of the night. She opened her lips and asked, ¡± Are you hungry?¡± ¡± He did not care, he took a dry cake from the refrigerator to eat. However, it is obviously that he was picky eaters, he was a bite mouthful, he frowned because it was hard to swallow. Xia Xingchen thought he looks funny. Can she imagine that the President of Supreme People¡¯s Republic of China also had such a poor time? In the eyes of others, he should be served delicious food and drink. But she was absolutely afraid tough in front of the President and make fun. Was she looking for her life end up? ¡°Would you like me to give you some of the dumplings?¡± Xia Xingchen kindly asked. ¡°No need.¡± Xu Yan ungrateful gave her only two words. How unresponsive he was! If it was not because of the matter of today, she won¡¯t take care of him even he doesn¡¯t eat it. ¡°Xia Xingchen grunted, whispered muttering.¡± She was biting a dumplings with a widely open mouth, while looked up and eximed: ¡°Really delicious ah! Too fragrant. Um, well, it is more delicious than dry food.¡± She was deliberately chewing with sound. ¡°You didn¡¯t learn basic good manner?¡± Xu Yan eyes was cold, quite disappointed. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Could you chew without sound?¡± While she was still chewing up¡­ ¡°Yes, President. Then I will eat slowly.¡± Xia Xingchen was unwilling to answer. The ceremony is particrly demanding especially at presidential pce. Xu Yan nced at her eyes. Their eyes met together, they looked at that delicious dumplings, her hand was directly passed on over the bowl to escaped. ¡°Hey!¡± Xia Xingchen shouted. She saw her clean chopsticks, through his mouth without any exnation. Xia Xingchen looked confused at him, ¡°Mr. President, is it not a clean thing?¡± ¡°When he was hungry, he could only endured.¡± ¡°But, just was that ¡­ ¡­¡± Xia XingChen slender fingers pointed the dumplings to his mouth with her lips hesitantly. He borated, ¡°what?¡± ¡± That¡¯s the one I¡¯ve just bitten.¡±¡­¡­¡± Xia Xingchen said at low voice at the end. Xu Yan face was suddenly overcast, stared at her eyes unusually angry, like she might be killed. Xia Xingchen was scared and her legs felt weak, she quickly handled respectfully her lips, tone of small voice: ¡°spit it¡­¡­¡± Sheined! Obviously, she did not force him to eat! And. . . . . . Even he ate what she eats, she does not have intention to kill him? It is not poisonous! Delicate lips were moving, Xu Yan really wanted to spit the dumplings she had just eaten. But¡­¡­ Her faceined. With angry and annoyed face, she nodded her head and her small hand was very close to his face. Two people were very close, her soft palm was just under his nose, he can smell a touch of her fragrance. Elegant and very good smell like the taste of lime. Xu Yan could not help thinking that evening five years ago, when she was like that fragrance body, so sweet. She was shy. And asked him for her lingering. He only picked her among from the pictures of many girls. In this thought, for him, it was only the mostmon few nights for love, and must forget. But, until now, he still clearly remembered the incense of her body between the fragrance ¡­ ¡­ even, it was only a memory. Mr. President?¡±¡± Xia Xingchen did not wait for his response, and called him out. He withdrew his mind, his eye color was deep. He looked at her. The next moment, he did not only spit out the dumplings, but rather he all choke it down¡­. The forehead? Xia XingChen was confused. She was pretending as if aware of something then the face suddenly blushed a circle of light pink. You¡­.. Did you really swallowed it? So, between them, is ¡­ ¡­ this considered as indirect kiss? Chapter 12 May24Chapter 12- The Child¡¯s Biological father On Monday. Xia Xingchen was busy doing trantion work when the mobile phone has rung. It was father Xia Guopeng¡¯s secretary who called. ¡°Miss Xia, tonight the olddy arranged a dinner party, so you must attend.¡±. Xia Xingchen paused and asked: ¡°Weing dinner party for Xia Xingkong?¡± ¡°That¡¯s what the olddy means. I¡¯ll give you a specific address.¡± Xia thought for a moment and nodded¡­¡­ I see.¡±I¡¯ll be there on time.¡± ¡­¡­ There were many people at the dinner party that evening. Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t bring Xia Dabai. She was standing alone in the corner and had a snack. The only reason she came there tonight was to make the olddy happy. But in fact, it¡¯s only a weing dinner and she had nothing to do there. ¡°You¡¯re so blessed, Mrs. Xia, that you had such a daughter like Xia Xingkong!¡± Did you tter me? A blossom smiled face. ¡± Xia Li Ling stood in the crowded, enjoyed all the praise.¡±. ¡°Xia Xingkong are likely.¡±. She was now the world famous artist. I heard that she was the highest figure, but she could only show her performance to the president and representative.¡± ¡°That¡¯s true.¡±. A few days ago, she just performed in front of the president! The president was especially impressed with her!¡± ¡°You have a good career Xia, but also to find a good man like Xu son as a boyfriend, your family can be really smart.¡± Xia Li Ling boasted as she went along. ¡°Xu family son, but Xu¡¯s group of young master?¡± ¡°That¡¯s him.¡±! A man of striking appearance.¡± ¡°Now the scenery of Hui group, was heard that their not only involved in department stores, building materials, hotels like those piece, and now they began to jewelry and electronic.¡± ¡°These, in fact, are his parents¡¯ business, and our family does not mind.¡±. Xia Li Ling could not help showing it off. Xu Yan himself, a talented, now he was the first chief interpreter in Britain. Moreover, after thest meeting with the president, the presidential pce immediately took him. He really need it everywhere!¡± It was hard to work for the president. ¡°Like all his life he would give.¡± A group of people sentenced him, their tone was full of envy. Xia Xingchen listened from the side, her heart cannot tell what to feel. She would never heard the president if there were no Xu Yan hand, And, would she still see now their own lives? She end of a ss of wine and drained it, she smiled bitter. There is no such thing in the world. Moreover, she had now Xia Dabai, everything is just right. In her bad moment, the spokesperson finally arrived. Xia Xingkong pulled Xu Yan to walked slowly, all people¡¯s eyes were focused on them. Xia Xingchen were standing in the crowd, looked far away. They looked like a perfect match¡­¡­ So happy, so enviable¡­¡­ The olddy stood in front of the microphone, when the two of them led to respect a group of elders, her eyes looked around the house, and finally said: ¡°Today, I¡¯m here to announce one thing to you.¡± our Xia and Xu Yan, is officially engaged today. Hope to receive your blessing.¡± As soon as the olddy¡¯s words fell, the whole audience was in full swing. ¡°It matches well.¡±!¡± ¡°Great couple!¡± ¡°They are both leaders of the job!¡± Apused, one after another. Xia Xingchen was shaking, she wanted to apud her hands but it was like stiffed and looked like everyone else, waspletely make no effort. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Xu Yan felt her eyes, he was suddenly saw her from the side. Across the crowd, two people eyes were like on same those way. Xu Yan knew he should not be absent in such that situation, but as if he were evil, his eyes were projected from the past and for a long time it was hard to draw away from Xia Xingchen. Xia Xingkong followed his line of vision. She also reminded the past. Xia Xingkong face changed and pulled under Xu Yan. ¡°brother Xu Yan, what did you see?¡± ¡°I saw Xia, let¡¯s go and say hello.¡±Xu Yan did nor hide it. Xia Xingchen heart was unwilling in every possible way she wanted to think. But the next moment, Xia Xingchen hung to smile and nodded toward from her passed. ¡­¡­¡­¡­ In a messed heart, Xia Xingchen had no idea that they woulde up to her. ¡°Sister, thank you foring to bless me and brother Xu Yan, we are now engaged, and after a while, when we work steadily, we will get married.¡±. Xia Xingkong handed her a ss of wine. ¡°That¡¯s a good thing. I respect you.¡± She looked at the eye of Xu Yan. Xia Xingchen has took the lead to raise a cup to drink and carried the wine ss. Xu Yan wanted to speak about after all, but he said nothing. ¡°Thanks to my sister who had to give way, and now brother Xu Yan we could be together. Sister, I¡¯ll give you another drink.¡± Xia Xingkong still smiled so bright. Xia Xingchen was frowned but without hesitation, she looked up and drank a cup of wine. Xia!¡± Xu Yan could not help but called her. He remembered her poor drinking capacity. Xia Xingchen heard that low voice, Xia Xingkong also heard it naturally. Her hand holded the cup tightened, but the face remainedughed. ¡°Sister, now I¡¯m engaged to brother Xu Yan. How about you?¡± Chapter 13 July3Chapter 13- Xia Xingchen y tricks She stepped forward and her heartfelt tightened. Suddenly there was a tight grip on her hand. She and Xia Xingkong suddenly stopped. ¡°Two of you, please, stop.¡± ¡°A dressed ck man.¡± A tall ck man with ck clothes was taller than Xu Yan. In fact, it was a top ordermand that no need a tone of the discussion. Xia Xingkong eyebrows light wrinkled, uninformed looked to each other. ¡°Who are you? ¡° It was serious and silent. Xu Yan slighted his eyebrows when he saw a person walked in the front of Xia and a group of people directly thrown around her. He looked at the one who passed and figured out who took Xia but he only saw a tall figure awe inspiring and could not see Xia in the end. ¡°What are you doing?¡± See Xia Xingchen has been taken away, Xu Yan struggled on how to earn but not to open each other¡¯s containment. ¡°Who are you people, where you want to take Xia?¡± he asked loudly in the end. ¡°Mr. Xu, that was not something you can ask.¡± ¡°Do you know me?¡± Xu Yan suspicious looked to each other. The other party did not answer, ¡°but the two of you had nothing to be nervous too.¡± Miss Xia is our gentleman¡¯s woman sir, we must take her home. ¡°Who are you, gentlemen?¡± ¡°Who is your gentleman?¡± Xia XingKong looked at the group and asked. ¡°Miss Xia doesn¡¯t need to know too well.¡± The ck dress man with walkie talkie turned away and walked out. He issued an order and waited until Xia Xingchen was held on the car. Xu Yan¡¯s face was not very good, he did not go back but rather keep it up with. ¡°Xia Xingchen¡±! Xu caught up. When the two men came to the door they gradually disappeared in the car. He only saw a tail of the line of six cars convoy. ¡°Who the hell is that?¡± the travel was bound to the big guy so much, Xu Yan eyebrows wrinkled. ¡°Mysterious¡±, But the man just said that her sister was his woman. A big man took my sister with a child already? ¡°I see, even if it is a big man and certainly could not see the gloomy of the people¡±, Xia Xingkong tone quite disdained. Xia was just a simple with child, not suitable for such a man like that. It would be even worse if it was something that could not be seen. Xu Yan thought, his face more dignified. Xia Xingkong also saw him stared at the direction of the disappearance of the team. Her heart hatred and her face jealousy red but she just held his hand: ¡°Well, brother Xu Yan, we did note out for Xia Xingchen just too spoiled there were so many guests waiting for us! We must in a hurry to go! ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Luxury car. Bai Yeqing personally held up Xia Xingchen. Just tonight in a hotel downstairs with a special guest, cold brown eyes looked to the instability of her. In this case, the footstep stopped. He was supposed to leave her alone, but he came over to saw her at a nce. Xia Xingchen was never been drunk like now. She easily got dizzy. Even she did not see clearly, her hands hooked his neck docile andid in his arms. Until the car waited to an engine, Bai Yeqing put her down on the bench but she refused to let go. ¡°Xia Xingchen?¡± He called her in a low voice. She delicate back already arrived in the leather chair, but her hands still firmly hang up to his neck, so that now his posture is half stopped, two people face unusually close. Her smell of wine came near to him¡­ She heard someone called her, ¡°Hmm?¡± she made a sound and slowly opened her eyes. Drunk dim eyes looked at him for a moment, suddenly she raised his hand, white fingers gently stroked his face. The girl¡¯s fingers were so soft. He felt like in a hot temperature, like with a small current from his eye channeling, let him feel numb. ¡°Xia Xingchen, let go!¡± This feeling made him feel¡­Pretty ufortable! ¡°Why did you let me dream that five years ago?¡± Her faint suddenly opened. Bai Yeqing squinted up. She continued to mutter, ¡°Do you know how I came here over thest five years?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­. ¡°I always tell myself that when I¡¯m older, my life is perfect.¡±¡­¡­ But, you let me not to experience being an 18 years old youth and lost my love and let me betrayed my first love but not only outsiders even my family members looked down upon me. She drank too much and her voice was some light broken. She talked to Bai Yeqing but her vision was blurred to see him and her eyes was a little moist. ¡°You were drunk.¡± Bai Yeqing looked at the shiny light of her deep eyes. ¡°Is it?¡± She endured a smile with a blink of an eye. Suddenly, she fell and buried a bite on his neck. He doesn¡¯t know how to face her up. This woman, what a crazy? Bai Yeqing was surprised at the moment. On the back of her head he loosen his big palm to lower her head. Xia Xingchen like to eximed but at that moment she wanted also to revenge, the bit bite was very heavy and bleeding. Bai Yeqing was annoyed to the extreme, his big palm buckled back of her head, he opened an easy job to do it. ¡°What¡¯s crazy about it?¡± He pinched her chin, she looked down. Her lips with his blood red, did not feel terror, but had some erotic sexy. Xia Xingchen misty eyes stared at him. She sat and looked up very innocent and very behaved like, ¡°this is revenge.¡± ¡°What about revenge?¡± His voice was low. Slightly bent, approached her. She drank too much and was not afraid. She raised her head and boldly greeted him with the hidden vision of danger. ¡°Who made you to bully me? do not think you are president, I can not bully you back.¡± ¡°Your revenge is to bite me?¡±¡± Bai Yeqing nced at his neck and cor with the stained of woman¡¯s lipstick, he quietly asked: ¡°How? Why did you bite me so hurt?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t bite you¡­¡± She leaned on it, it seems seriously to recall: ¡°But you had hurt me at the moment.. ¡­ it was very painful ¡­ ¡­¡± Five years ago, the first night was really hurt. Even if she felt that it was a dream, but that pain was real. Bai Yeqing bowed and looked at her carefully. She was now in the same way, not really looking for him, but a little childish. Also. How could she use such a trick to bite like a children? This woman is also biting while awake and drunk. He leaned over and lifted her chin and looked at the beautiful face, whispered: ¡°so many years ago, do you remember some thing clearly?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t remember?¡± ¡°What if it was?¡±he asked. She grunted, ¡°of course you did not remember, you don¡¯the feel the pain because it was not you, you had been not bullied.¡± She said it with angry and stretched out her hand and pushed him away. He pulled back her wrist. He gracefully retreated to the other side of the chair, but because of his toward pulled, she had almost rushed past to him. The embarrassed and panic was at it¡¯s to the extreme! Chapter 14 part1 September18Chapter 14- Part 1- A more night to remember He gracefully retreated to the other side of the chair, but because of his toward pulled, she had almost rushed past to him. The embarrassed and panic was at it''s to the extreme! Xia Xingchen fell on him, her soft lips from his cheek seemed nothing like rubbed, he felt hot dumb crossing to his whole body to let his eyes had some deep color. Xia Xingchen was shocked and felt hot too, her face was red. She moved backward and wanted to avoid. However, the body was unstable, suddenly, the whole person fell backward. ¡®Ahh¡¯ her loud sound, instinctively grabbed the man¡¯s sleeve. Bai Yeqing eyebrows were as cold as he leaned down, his one arm hooped her waist slightly and pulled her back. At this point, Xia Xingchen was held by him and sat down on hisp. His generous big palms were branded on her waist. She gripped. The man¡¯s palm was very hot. Through her thin cloth, flipped to her skin. Two people, close well near. The car was full of ambiguous atmosphere. His eyes were as deep as a sea, and she felt his once nced was about to indulge. Her hands on his shoulder were slightly bent and curled up together. This man is really dangerous! She was about to jump out from his chest. Her heart jumped fast and chaos. But even he was so close, he didn¡¯t do anything, she was lye toward him and confused. ¡°At the moment, the front of the partition was suddenly opened. The voice of Leng Fei appeared: ¡°Your Excellency! Are you all right?¡± I heard voices inside, so¡­¡­..¡± Suddenly, Leng Fei stopped talking about it, when he saw the inside of the scene. Uh? What happened? Two people here¡­¡­Mr. President and Miss Xia Xingchen¡­¡­ He was so out of his head, but it was really damn! On Leng Fei eyes, Xia Xingchen was suddenly struggled to hold down from Bai Yeqing legs. Her face was red, Bai Yeqing did not let her go, she muttered: ¡°You let me go.¡± Behave yourself, don¡¯t move!¡± Bai Yeqing voice ofmand, his face had some bad look. He gave a cold nce to Leng Fei. ¡°Don¡¯t put your head out if you¡¯re not called.¡± ¡°Yes, sir.¡± Leng Fei quickly put his head obediently recovered. He really did not think that Miss Xia and the President would have seen it like this, they couldn¡¯t have reallye together. Identity disparity. Inside the car. Although the partition was lowered again, the drunk Xia Xingchen woke up a lot at the moment. ¡°Sorry, I am.¡±¡­¡­ I was some rude.¡± Xia Xingchen discreet apology. She looked at his neck, the bite marks were still on bleeding, she is just really now a drunk loaded with craziness. ¡°Do you like him?¡± Bai Yeqing asked her. ¡°If that is the case, I can find a way to get him to marry you. It¡¯s apensation for you.¡± He looked and added that to her.¡± ¡°You mean Xu Yan?¡± ¡°Xia Xingchen reaction.¡± ¡°Uh huh.¡± ¡°No, I don¡¯t want him to marry me.¡± ¡­Xia Xingchen eyebrows secretlypped and said: ¡°I don¡¯t like him.¡± She thought him and Xia Xingkong. Chapter 14 part2 September22Chapter 14-Part 2- A more night to remember ¡°No, I don¡¯t want him to marry me.¡± ¡­Xia Xingchen eyebrows secretlypped and said: ¡°I don¡¯t like him.¡± She thought him and Xia Xingkong. ¡°Is it?¡± Bai Yeqing clearly not believed, his fingers suddenly pinched her jaw, her face suddenly lifted up. He looked to her deterred face. Her rounded eyes and her powerful eyshes were looked like as butterfly as wing shook. Her rebellion heart revealed words that must forget and she suddenly speaks: ¡± had you ever remember the pain from the past?¡±What is it? ¡°I remember more than you remember.¡± He looked like squinting. The tone was deep, more and more ambiguous. ¡°Xia blushed at the moment, sounds that could be dripped into bleeding.¡± So¡­¡­ What he was mean was that he still remember those nights as she was the same, and there was a passion between of the two of them? Xia Xingchen naturally dared not to ask, and her hands were on his shoulder, and she jumped off from his leg. She dared not to respond to his words again, she sat opposite him. Even without seeing him, she could feel his eyes pausing for a moment. Feeling hot¡£ Xia Xingchen heartbeat felt disordered. The car was obviously a constant temperature, however, she inexplicably felt it was a sweltering carriage. The blowing of the wind was fresh, but she did not feel good. What does this man mean by saying this to her? At the time, Bai Yeqing looked at her eyes, and finally, he hooked his lips and took the official conversation to turn freely. He remembered and seemed that all the memories of those nights were not all painful. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ The car drove all the way to the manor. As the car stopped, the servant came out over to greet. Xia Xingchen was asleep in the car. Leng Fei wanted to wake her up, but Bai Yeqing would hold her down from the car. Leng Fei was shocked, but he knew it. Bai Yeqing held Xia Xingchen directly into the second floor of the bedroom. Xia Dabai was at his small desk and wrote his homework, he lifted his small head to hear the movement. ¡°Hey, how could you Xia and Bai were together? This kid was always called him, ¡°Bai¡±pletely and was not afraid of his president majesty. Bai Yeqing was overturned and looked serious: ¡°Daddy.¡± ¡°Yes, Dad.¡± ¡°Xia Dabai, why are you holding back? ¡°Xia Xingchenughed at Dabai.¡± Bai Yeqing did not do anything to correct him. Anyway, this small guy is still a sense of innocent, but in the front of others, he must never dare to do it so without rules. Xia was a bad smell, right? The little guy does not respond him no matter, he climbed into bed to help one side opened a quilt whileining. Bai Yeqing looked at him, raised his eyebrows, did not answer. Xia Xingchen put him carefully on the bed. Her slender arm slipped off his shoulder, and he could smell her. As the little man said, it was very fragrant. The same as five years ago. This fragrance was fascinating. Bai Yeqing drew back his mind, patted Xia Dabai head, said: ¡°good to do homework.¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Xia Dabai nodded obediently lying head and went back to his desk. He thought of what, he bit the head back, his dark eyes, looked at the president, ¡°Dad, can you marry my mother?¡± Bai Yeqing was asked: ¡°why you suddenly asked?¡± ¡°I know that she likes people to be my little uncle ¨C I do not like to see her sad.¡± Xia Dabai said. This young boy unexpectedly turned out to know everything. Xia Xingchen sleep looked was very unstable at the bed, Bai Yeqing said: ¡°If I married her it does not help the situation. I think if she was feeling sad, let your little uncle marry her.¡± Chapter 15 part1 Xia Xingchen sleep looked was very unstable at the bed, Bai Yeqing said: ¡°If I married her it does not help the situation. I think if she was feeling sad, let your little uncle marry her.¡± Xia Dabai pout, stubborn stared at him, ¡°but I like you more.¡± Bai Yeqing had some deep vision. The child¡¯s pure eyes nced at him like a flicker of entreaty that made him things not to refuse. But¡­¡­ ¡°I will not marry her.¡±.¡± He returned with determination and a certainck of patience. No, Xia Dabai drooped his head and asked: ¡°why?¡± The child does not have to understand it too much. The President had no more words to said, he only fainted and opened the door and looked at the bed of Xia Xingchen and stepped out. The door was closed, and there was no movement in the room for a long time. Xia Xingchen tried to lift her eyelids and make sure that the man had gone far before she got up from the bed. ¡°You let me felt so ashamed Xia Dabai, you know why? I didn¡¯t say I was going to marry him!¡± Her snow-white toes were poking at his back. Xia heart quite resentment. ¡°Xia Dabai twisted back to a look of innocence, ¡°people do not want to help you find something back.¡± ¡°How can I find it? Young Bai uncle was snatched away by the younger sister and that was the worst thing she did. ¡°Right?¡± Xia heart was bleeding. How traitor she was? Xia Dabai would be cool if she could marry the President. But the president was cold and boring, how could he be better than little Dabai uncle? Xia Dabai said, atst, his eyes out of light. ¡°Or else we¡¯ll try our best to let daddy marry you!¡± Xia knew what he was thinking. He just wanted to have aplete family like other children. But¡­¡­ ¡°Honey, that¡¯s our president, he is not like that ordinary person¡±. ¡°So¡­¡­ Let¡¯s not go crazy, shall we?¡± She patted the child¡¯s head. She could not bear to look at the child¡¯s disappointment. She got up and took her pajamas to the bathroom. Marrying the President of the Republic of China? She could not even think of it. The previous president marriage was resounding VIP. How could she think by herself? She was thinking of him in the car, her mind could not help but emerged just an ambiguous picture, thought of his strong heartbeat, strong arms bent ¡­ ¡­ Her heartbeat was chaos for a while. No way! No way! Xia Xingchen, could no longer cranky! That man does not like her? She patted her face, cleared herself up, and threw the man out of her head. She held her chest for a long time, then finally her heart calmed down. ¡­¡­¡­¡­ The next day. Early in the morning, Xia Xingchen and Xia Dabai were dressed and Xia Dabai wore like a young gentleman. The president has been sitting in the restaurant. Butler is on the side. The morning light shone through the French window, and her movements were graceful and calm, with a dazzling gold ting all over her body. They came in, and he just raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the child. Xia Xingchen felt she was very near to himself, but so far away. They are not a world person. ¡°Little master, Miss Xia, good morning.¡± The servant held their chair and respectfully greeted them. Category: | Chapter 15 part2 February15Chapter 15- Part 2- Naughty kitten Good morning, Dad¡±. Xia Dabai greeted polite. ¡°Early.¡± He fainted his lips. Xia Xingchen had nothing to say but ate silently. She was somewhat embarrassed to face himst night. However, this embarrassment seems to be only her own feelings, but he was always frankly indifferent. ¡°Dad, what¡¯s that?¡± Xia Dabai curious blinked big eyes and looked at his neck. Xia Xingchen saw the past, it was the ce that herself bitest night. Herst night was to vent, deep bite, and up that time the wound looked a bit of shocking. ¡°It was a naughty kitten bite.¡± When the president¡¯s words were finished, his eyes did not have a profound eye on the initiator. Xia Xingchen felt embarrassed and were ambiguous. She subconsciously lifted her head quickly, she took the knife of her some hands instability and bowed her head, she just projected over her eyes, her cheeks were red. I know, this little kitten is pretty beautiful,¡± he said while he looked at them. ¡°How can you say that?¡± she raised her eyebrows. ¡°Otherwise, how can dad had a bite?¡± And also specifically to take this kind of bite in an intimate ce.¡± I also love woman but if she¡¯s not pretty, I will not give her bite!¡± ¡°Xia Dabai chin triumphantly. As soon as the little man¡¯s words were finished, butler and servant almost stoppedughing. Xia Xingchen was almost to the drill hole. The president¡¯s face was ck. Who told to this little boy that a woman bit it? ¡°Well, Xia Dabai, darling, have your breakfast obediently¡±. Xia Xingchen took the fruit and tried to shut his son¡¯s mouth. ¡°Hey, Why is your face so red?¡± Xia Dabai looked at her with a curious big eyes. ¡°Guilty¡±! A morning breakfast brought a blushed moment. Xia Xingchen looked at the time and farewell to the President and Xia Dabai and does not dare to let the driver sent her to work. She was in hurry to the Department, there was already a lot of work waiting for her. As a result, the olddy leaned over the phone, the olddy personally called over. ¡°Hello, grandma.¡± Sorry, I didn¡¯t say anything to you when I leftst night.¡± ¡°Last night, never mind¡±. But I heard from Xia she said, ¡°you were picked up by a strangerst night.¡±.¡± Stranger? But everyone Bai Yeqing knows, right? But Xia dared not to speak. ¡°he was not a stranger.¡± It¡¯s just a friend of mine.¡± ¡°Xu Yan and Xia Xingkong could say that man was mysterious and not a good man¡±. Xia Xingkong were honest it was not what people messed to go near of it? grandmother said. Xia Xingchen really did not let her down. She would never forget the snitch. ¡°Grandma, please don¡¯t listen to them. The other party is not a mess, I have the heart.¡± ¡°Do you have any idea?¡± What are you saying? Even your children¡¯s father number you don¡¯t know? ¡°Xia, your life is muddleheaded.¡± Let us don¡¯t make it a big joke! Xia Xingchen bit her lips, she had nothing to say. In a few days, she have been helped her to make an appointment with the other party. Her Grandma looked a good partner for her. She doesn¡¯t mind others even she have a child. ¡°Anyway, she should go and take it carefully. Grandma¡­.. ¡°What did Xia Xingchen want to say?¡± the olddy cut off her words. ¡°That¡¯s the decision¡±. Then, she doesn¡¯t give Xia Xingchen a chance to say and directly put down the phone. Chapter 16 March16Chapter 16- Future President¡¯s Wife The office of the President. The first ray of sunlight prated the clouds, and the golden light shrouded the earth. The neatly manicuredwn is dotted with rain, everything seems full of vigor. Arge pointer with white square sounds solemn into the central issue ¡°bang bang.¡± In front of the majestic gold gate, the impressive array of honor guards passed by. Against the rising sun, the country¡¯s bright red banner is rising ¨C Early in the morning, he awakened and stood in the white feather pce with his people and he felt everything seemed to be in order. Outside the pce, people looked up to the g and saw him very much, and all of them rushed up to the pce as excited as the tides. They wanted to take a closer look at the president¡¯s style. The guards had let them to make distance. Eventually, it was exciting and thorough popr. The Vice President helped him to vote easily defeating Song Guoyao. At the beginning of the league, it was the most popr one, although he had just taken his post and was the youngest president ever. The President was standing high, greeted and waived far from them. The greetings of the masses supported the sound of one after another, the group were exciting. He has always been calm and responsive, with the most elegant gesture to respond to his people. He enjoyed the pleasure that this supreme power bestowed upon him, at the same time bearing the responsibility and the ¡­ danger that rights gave him. At this very moment, an officer came hurriedly with a low voice: ¡°Your Excellency, Vice President Song is here.¡± Mr. President faded ¡®uhh¡¯, ¡°Let hime to my meeting room.¡± ¡°He seems to have known about the building of the army factory,¡± said Leng Fei. ¡°This kind of thing is bound to hide him.¡± He was frowned, and he was not surprised. ¡°The secret weapon thing¡­¡± ¡°Who would dare to reveal half of that sentence, thest three words were ruthless.¡± Leng Fei heart of nature, could not mention that word again. When Bai Yeqing entered the conference room, Song Guoyao was already waiting. He sat on the cane stick until Bai Yeqing got into the door and let other people withdraw before he got up. ¡°Your Excellency.¡± Although it is a respectful attitude, Bai Yeqing is not convinced by the bottom of his heart. " What is it so important Vice President to be so early?" Bai Yeqing sat down on the main seat, and his face was greeted with a smile of kindness. ¡°It is not a matter of course, but it must be a good thing, the only thing in my family that you don¡¯t know can you remember it?¡± Song Guoyaoughed. ¡°Only?¡± ¡°Yes. She has just returned to the country in the past few days. When she came back, she told me that she has been admiring you for a long time. She is moring to meet you. You see, when can you have some free time to meet her? Even if it is a little bit of a wish it could satisfy the little girl.¡± President Bai was also smiling, I don¡¯t have such a good heart. She still remembers me. I¡¯ll have to meet you again in a few days, I was personally invited Miss Song. ¡°Where she is wee, what do you think?¡± ¡°Then I would tell her that Excellency had promised to see her, she must know that and she would be happy.¡± Bai Yeqing faint nodded, he took a box of notes from the drawer and handed it smoothly to Song Guoyao, ¡°this is a gift to Miss Song, please bring it to her. I also asked you vice president to help me with it." ¡°Song Guoyao was even more smiling, and said, ¡°Your honor! Sounds interested!¡± Song Guoyao was sent away with a smile of the President. Leng Fei said: ¡°This old age person he did not ask you about the military and he talked to you about Miss Song.¡± ¡°He was ying the idea of marriage.¡± Leng Fei does not know what to say and cannot say anything. Bai Yeqing looked at him. ¡°The two families in the Song Dynasty are one of the two, although it seems to us that there is no good benefit. But¡­ If you refused the proposal of the Vice President Song then he would turn the marriage with Yu dynasty. As a result, thebination of Yu and Song is the greatest threat to us. This is precisely only what he was worried about. Therefore, be early to prepare a gift for Song. ¡­ Saturday afternoon. Xia Xingchen helped Xia DaBai to wear a horse-riding outfit and gave him a driving whip. She was the one who gave him and personally customized it. ¡°Let the driver uncle take you to the horse farm. Don¡¯t ride for too long.¡± Xia Xingchen squatted, she took his kettle and sent him down. She couldn¡¯t be with him. Monday was an official assessment. She was directly concerned with her work issues. She was not at all daunted. ¡°I know, you are busy, I can take care of myself.¡± Xia Dabai waved and followed the driver¡¯s uncle to the car, but he also did not forget to return her a kiss. Just then, the Butler picked up the phone and walked quickly toward her. ¡°Miss Xia, the presidential pce is approaching a very important guest and will close soon, so¡­ If it is convenient, please go upstairs right now. If there is something important, you can ring the bell in the room, we have goodmand.¡± Butler looked serious. ¡°I¡¯ve never seen any guests here before.¡± Xia Xingchen was curious. ¡°At this time, he will meet the Vice President¡¯s daughter, and it is very likely that she will be the future president¡¯s wife, so Miss Xia, please forgive me.¡± said Butler. The future President¡¯s wife ¡­ Xia Xingchen went up first. ¡°She whispered murmur and smiled.¡± She would note down to disturb and assured to rest. Xia XingChen turned to go upstairs and did not say anything. She opened and read the book seriously. However, after that, there was always some distraction. She was curious about what is the girl look like. Well, in herself she must be curious because the future partner will be the stepmother of her son. However, her thought about this matter could still not help her mood. At this moment, she only heared the car roar came from the downstairs. She almost dropped her book immediately and looked out of the window probe. Xia Xingchen recognized at a nce, Bai Yeqing car was the third one in a long convoy. The team stopped at the manor road and the well-trained bodyguards took the lead in getting out of the car. Then ¡­ A shadows into her eyes. Chapter 17 Then a delicate silhouette came into her eyes. Thatdy got a curved and graceful figure. She dressed in a light yellow dress, and when the wind blew the light gauze attaching to the dress, she looked very beautiful. Thatdy and Bai Yeqing were walking side by side, and she looked up to talk something with him, while his expression remained calm and polite. asionally, he would nod as a response. What a fascinating scene ¨C a handsome man and a beautiful woman, they were a perfect match. Xia Xingchen turned her gaze away in embarrassment and bent down to close the window. That was not her world, it would be better not to pay excessive attention to it. ¡°Oh, who is she?¡± When the window was almost closed, that youngdy asked promptly downstairs. Xia Xingchen''s heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously looked down. Unexpectedly, everyone looked up at her at that moment. The young woman¡¯s face was full of doubts, and Bai Yeqing also stared at her with obscure light in his eyes. While the butler on the other side was wiping cold sweat ceaselessly. Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t expect that she would draw attention by closing the window upstairs. Panic arose in her heart, but she quickly calmed down. She gave a smile and closed the window without fuss. Downstairs, Song Weiyi was curious about the identity of Xia Xingchen who suddenly appeared in the presidential pce. However, if Bai Yeqing didn''t mention, she naturally wouldn''t dare to ask. Before entering the door, she couldn''t help giving one more nce at that window. Could she be the secret mistress of Mr. President? She secretly took a peek at Bai Yeqing, but his face was always calm and she could find no clue. ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Here in upstairs. Before Xia Xingchen could ring the bell, a servant had already rushed up. ¡°Miss Xia, you shouldn¡¯t have appeared by the window. If Miss Song mistakes your identity, things will get worse.¡± ¡°Sorry, I didn''t mean to it. Anyway, quickly get a servant costume for me!¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Hurry up!¡± Xia Xingchen prompted and the servant had no choice but to fetch a servant costume. Xia Xingchen took off her clothes neatly and put on the white and ck servant clothes. ¡°Miss Xia, what are you going to do¡­ ?¡± The servant was shocked when he saw her dress-up. Though she could not be the First Lady, she was the birth mother of the young master after all. Who dares tomand her? ¡°Let''s first dispel the doubts of Miss Song before causing any bad effects.¡± Xia Xingchen exined while braiding up her hair. It would make sense only if she was the servant of the presidential residence. The servant remained silent. On the other side, the door of the reception room was closed. Leng Fei and several guards were guarding the door. After Xia Xingchen came downstairs, Leng Fei took a quick look at her and didn''t recognize her. But then he stopped and turned back to take a close look at her, finally found who she was. ¡°Miss Xia, what are you doing¡­ ¡° ¡°Shh! Don''t call me Miss Xia from now on.¡± Xia Xingchen nced at the reception room. At this moment, the servant came up with coffee and desserts. Butler took over and handed them to Xia Xingchen: ¡°Miss Xia, I am so sorry but I can only trouble you.¡± Xia Xingchen understood the intention of butler: to convince Song Weiyi to believe that she was the servant of the presidential pce. Xia Xingchen also thought so. She nodded and prepared to enter with coffee and desserts. The door just opened a little, and people immediately heard Song Weiyi''s tenderughter, ¡°When we were young, Mr. President you never made a concession me in the chessboard, but now you do.¡± ¡°I don''t expect that Miss Song would still remember these trifles in childhood.¡± ¡°Mr. President, just call me Weiyi.¡± Bai Yeqing nodded slightly and looked over her head. She didn''t wear the diamond hairpin that he had sent to her. ¡°Don''t you like my present?¡± He asked, gently rubbing the crystal chess in his hands. ¡°I like it. I like it very much. And my mother also said Mr. President you have a good taste. But¡­ I value it too much to wear. I''m afraid of losing it identally.¡± Bai Yeqing smiled lightly. ¡°Just wear it whenever you want. If it lost, I will buy another one for you.¡± Song Weiyi felt very happy, so her voice also got sweeter. ¡°It''s the first gift that Mr. President has given me. So it''s too special to be reced.¡± Hearing what they said at the door, Xia Xingchen found herself very redundant. What Song Weiyi said and her expressions showed her admiration for Bai Yeqing. And Bai Yeqing also treated Song Weiyi with a rare gentleness. While he was always indifferent to Xia Xingchen. Thinking of that, Xia Xingchen felt a little upset and gave her head a strike. What were you thinking about? Why did you care about the affairs between the president and the First Lady? Was it rted to her, an ordinary individual? She shook her head to get rid of all these thoughts, and then entered the door. They were ying international chess, of which the crystal chess was made of crystals and the chessboard of jade. Each they upied one side. Xia Xingchen did not disturb them and just put the snacks aside quietly. ¡°Hey! Wait!¡± When she turned and was ready to go out, she was stopped by Song Weiyi, ¡°Are you the girl upstairs just now?¡± Bai Yeqing rose his head and saw Xia Xingchen. Then his sight became a little deeper. It was really seldom for Bai Yeqing to see her so docile with the servant costume. ¡°Hello, Miss Song. Because the butler said it would rainter, I went upstairs and closed the window.¡± Xia Xingchen exined. ¡°You¡­ are a servant?¡± Song Weiyi looked her up and down with suspect. ¡°Yes, I am.¡± ¡°Then stay here and help me shell the crab.¡± Song Weiyi had a nced at the crab. Song Weiyi liked crabs and the kitchen had prepared for early. Uh? Xia Xingchen was stunned. Song Weiyi really saw her as a servant who could be ordered around? Xia Xingchen took a look at Song Weiyi and at first, didn''t want to do that. However, after a thought, she changed her idea. If she still wanted to apany Dabai at the presidential residence, she could not be expelled by Song Weiyi. Then she decided to do that as the order. Then she took the tools and began to shell. It was convenient for her to do that with tools. Unexpectedly, Song Weiyi turned her face toward Xia Xingchen and required: ¡°Drop the tools, shell crabs with your hands. Otherwise, you will disturb us.¡± Uh? With hands? Song Weiyi should order her shell such big crabs with hands. Did she deliberately put me on the spot? Xia Xingchen whined secretly and nced at the president. Then she clenched her teeth and shelled the crab with hands. She thought it was better than being kicked out. With lots of sweat in her face, she shelled crabs with all efforts but just got a small dish of crab meat. ¡°Ah¡­¡± When she pulled one crab leg apart, her finger was suddenly pierced by a sharp shell. She gave out a light painful shout, with few drops of blood on her finger. Bai Yeqing stopped ying chess, raised his head and frowned, asking: ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Ah, nothing, nothing¡­¡± Xia Xingchen shook her head and ced her hands back. She thought her voice was low enough, just like a sigh. But he should hear that. Why did he frown? Did he me her for disturbing them to y chess? Chapter 18 Song Weiyi sat there observing both Mr. President and Xia Xingchen silently. At the same time, she gradually gripped the chess piece in her hand. Women are always sensitive. ¡°Are you really alright?¡± Song Weiyi asked Xia Xingchen. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m OK.¡± Xia Xingchen replied. ¡°Then go ahead. And Mr. President, we can continue the y.¡± When Song Weiyi turned to Bai Yeqing, her voice got extremely clear and sweet. Xia Xingchen quietly took a nce at Bai Yeqing, whose eyes intensified and facial muscles tensed. He seemed quite unhappy. It looked like her boldness provoked him. But it was not her fault, because she wouldn¡¯t shell crabs for others except for Daibai in normal times! If not for the chance to stay with Dabai for a long time, she would never do this job no matter who Miss Song was. Her finger hurt badly. Therefore, dealing with the crab¡¯s shell became more difficult for her. Bai Yeqing raised his sight slightly and found her upset and grudging. With eyes darkened, he put down the chess piece and walked straight toward Xia Xingchen. While Xia Xingchen was shelling the crabs attentively, a shadow covered her. She looked up promptly, only found Bai Yeqing standing before her like a huge mountain. ¡°Show me your hand.¡± Bai Yeqing requested. Xi Xingchen was too shocked to react. He seemed impatient, and after a brief look, he pulled her hand over directly without any expression. Xia Xingchen didn¡¯te to herself until she touched his fingertip, and her heart skipped a beat as her finger trembled. ¡°I¡¯m fine.¡± Xia Xingchen was a little bit nervous, and her eyshes jittered like the wings of a butterfly, while her voice became softer, ¡°It¡¯s just a small wound¡­¡­¡± ¡°All fingers and thumbs.¡± Compared with the nervousness of her, Bai Yeqing looked calm as usual. Though with a reproachful tone, no light of me came into his eyes. Her fingers were as white as snow, but the bleed shed by the wound was somewhat dazzling. Hence, Bai Yeqing ordered: ¡°Go out and get a doctor to deal with your wound. Miss Song loves eating crabs, so let the butler send another servant here.¡± So¡­ she could drop this errand now? The hidden bitterness in Xia Xingchen¡¯s heart dispersed immediately, and she replied with a soft ¡°H¡¯m¡±, withdrawing her hand from his subtly. For a long time, her fingertip seemed to be warmed by him and was slow to cool down. And that warmth passed from the fingertip to her chest, even burning her heart restlessly¡­¡­ She gave a nod to Miss Song and went out. While Song Weiyi kept staring at Xia Xingchen until she left. Was this woman a simple servant? But why, Song Weiyi felt that Mr. President cared for her a lot. ¡­¡­ Xia Xingchen walked out the side hall, and her heart was still pounding. Staring at the wound for a good while, all of sudden, Xia Xingchen had no feeling of hurt at all. But¡­ Just now Mr. President checked her wound right before the future First Lady, was he concerned about her? The next moment, Xia Xingchen pouted in embarrassment, thinking that she held extravagant hopes. How could he care about her? It must because of his mysophobia! Her fingers were stained with blood, and now if she continued to shell the crabs, he would definitely not eat them. Xia Xingchen thought only this reason could make sense. ¡°Miss Xia, your hand gets injured?¡± Leng Fei was quite observant and saw the wound in her finger instantly. ¡°Oh, it¡¯s not a big deal.¡± Xia Xingchen smiled, shaking her head. The butler gave a gesture and said politely: ¡°Miss Xia, pleasee with me this way, the doctor will help you with your wound.¡± Xia Xingchen nodded, and she said to the old butler while walking: ¡°Could you please send another person to the reception room? I fumbled the job just now.¡± ¡°It¡¯s very condescending of you to do such things.¡± ¡°Please don''t say like that! One is our president, the other is the future First Lady. I would be pleased to do favors.¡± Xia Xingchen replied. With a smile and somefort, the butler looked at her for a long time and then said: ¡°It¡¯s great that Miss Xia can think so. It proves that Your Excellency selected the right person.¡± She knew the reason why he said that, and she gave a wry smile: ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that. I would not hold extravagant hopes even though we have a child. I know we are not from the same world.¡± ¡°Sorry, Miss Xia, please forgive me for my superfluous words. I said these with good intentions after all.¡± Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t answer to his words. She knew what the butler said was right. And She shall not bear any desires or wild wishes. ¡­ ¡­ That afternoon, Xia Xingchen stayed upstairs and didn¡¯t show up anymore. Standing at the window, she saw Bai Yeqing apanying Song Weiyi all the time. He showed her the whole manor, then led her to his chateau. Atst, they yed golf together. Bai Yeqing got along well with Miss Song. Seeing the scene from a distance, she thought the scene a beautiful picture. Gradually, Xia Xingchen felt a little upset. If Miss Song became Dabai''s stepmother, would she mistreat Dabai? As for her¡­ she had to prepare to leave anytime when Mr. President gets married to Miss Song. After dinner, Bai Yeqing saw Miss Song off. A short timeter, the driver returned with Dabai. As soon as Xia Dabai entered the door, he sulked and didn¡¯t say a word to anyone. Then he locked himself directly in his own room and refused toe out. Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t know how to deal with it and just left him alone. After a shower, when she came out of the bathroom and was blowing her hair, the door of the room was knocked twice and opened straightway. As soon as she looked up, she saw Bai Yeqing standing at the door. Then she turned off the hairdryer immediately and stood up, ¡°Mr. President.¡± ¡°Have you got to see him?¡± Bai Yeqing asked. ¡°I did. But the kid is stubborn, I guess no one could persuade him.¡± Bai Yeqing frowned and nced at her: ¡°Is his temper the same as yours?¡± Xia Xingchen felt aggrieved and pouted, ¡°I¡¯m not as stubborn as him.¡± Bai Yeqing looked at her: ¡°Whether you are stubborn or not, you must have a fierce temper.¡± Xia Xingchen was a little embarrassed. Apparently, he still remembered the two bites. ¡°Come. Let¡¯s see him together.¡± Bai Yeqing said. ¡°Wait a minute.¡± Despite her wet hair, she just easily made herself descent before a mirror. Bai Yeqing waited for her at the door and his eyes were caught by her body involuntarily. She dressed in long conservative sleepwear over her knees, a silk fashion beautiful printing skirt. Looked like a pretty and quiet girl in a humble family. Her white legs exposed from time to time as walking, which made one eager for. The wet and long hair trailed over her shoulders, making her pure but sexy. Bai Yeqing¡¯s sight became deeper and a little hotter. At the same time, Xia Xingchen got up and turned back. His eyes were toote to move away, then their sights meet in the air. The desire in his eyes was not wholly faded. She was stunned for that and flushed immediately. ¡°Is there¡­ something wrong with me?¡± She asked nervously. ¡°No.¡± He shook his head and turned his sight away from her body. No special expressions just as usual. He asked as if without thinking: ¡°How about your hand?¡± ¡°The doctor has treated it. It doesn¡¯t hurt anymore.¡± ¡°H''m.¡± He nodded. Xia Xingchen came out and walked on his right side. Chapter 19 Xia Xingchen came out and walked on his right side. He was 188 cm tall, which made her even more petite. When they were walking side by side, she could smell the pleasant odor of him. And this odor was just the same as she had smelt five years ago when they were together¡­¡­ Xia Xingchen found herself really strange, as she used to hate this man''s guts for making her pregnant, and she had been thinking of many ways to torture and revenge him. But now¡­¡­ She gradually felt that this man was not that disagreeable as she had thought. Both of them didn''t say a word until they reached the kid''s room. After entering the room, they found Xia Dabai sitting cross-legged on the carpet and fiddling with a model ne. The model ne was a gift from Leng Fei, and now it was disassembled by this little viin. When they came in, Daibai didn''t look up and went on with his work. Bai Yeqing sat down beside him silently, and passed a piece when this little kid got trouble in assembling the model. Then with a simple point, the kid would immediately know the next steps. Dabai turned his head and asked, "You know how to assemble this?" "A little." Actually, Bai Yeqing had been trained in various fields since he was a child. "The model is just a small cake. Later, I can teach you to assemble firearms or other more sophisticated weapons. Interested in that?" Firearms and weapons? "No, no way, that''s too dangerous." Xia Xingchen responded at once. "I love it! Little Bai, when can you teach me?" Dabai was quite excited, and his eyes were lit right away. He was just angry, but now all bad moods went away instantly. "Any time after you have finished this model." Bai Yeqing put him on thep. "This is quite easy, and I can finish it at any time. How about you starting to teach me tomorrow?" Xia Dabai was already eager to have a try. "No way, you are never allowed to learn this no matter what time. " Xia Xingchen was worried and chimed in again. "OK, let''s start tomorrow." Bai Yeqing agreed, rubbing the kid''s little head. "Daddy you''re the best!" Xia Dabai was so excited that he kissed on Bai Yeqing''s face. A faint smile appeared on his always-impersonal face. "¡­¡­" Xia Xingchen sat on the side, looking at the father and son with some resentment. So, what about now? She waspletely ignored by them! Now they had already treated her like this, what if Miss Song would marry him in the future? When that happened, they three would have a real family, while she¡­¡­ Thinking of this, Xia Xingchen¡¯s mood suddenly fell. She took a deste look at the father and son who were chatting happily, then got up and prepared to go out silently. "Dabao!" Dabai called her suddenly. She looked back. "Daddy has promised me to sleep with me here tonight." The kid was full of delight. "Really?" Xia Xingchen nced at Bai Yeqing and thought that they two indeed needed to spend some quality time together. "So you have to promise that you will sleep with me tonight as well." Xia Dabai required promptly. Xia Xingchen was stunned, "How? There is only one bed here." Even without a sofa. Xia Dabai looked at her bitterly, "Other children can always sleep with their daddy and mommy, while I am the poorest, as I can only have one of you beside me in one time. And¡­¡­" Speaking of this, he sniffed with his little nose and continued in a sobbing tone, "If daddy marry another woman, you both will never apany me together." Hearing the intermittent words of Dabai, Xia Xingchen felt very guilty. In the past years, both they had owed him a lot¡­ But she couldn''t answer to the request casually. Bai Yeqing and she¡­¡­how could they share one bed? She turned sight to Mr. President and asked for help. She thought he would definitely and firmly refuse the request. But he nced at her and said: "Yeah, we agree." "What?!" Xia Xingchen could hardly believe her ears and stared at him frightenedly. He put Dabai off hisp and got up. Then he said in a gentle voice: "You go to bed first. I''m going to take a shower ande backter." "¡­¡­" Xia Xingchen was stunned for what he said again. She followed Bai Yeqing closely when he walked out of the room. Then she said in a lower voice: "Mr. President, how could you¡­.?" "We slept together before, didn''t we?" He nced at her with a calm face, "Calm down." "¡­¡­" After he left, she was dragged by Dabai to the bed that was not too spacious. And she still was a little shocked. How could he mention these four words ¨C we slept together before ¨C so rightly and confidently?! He should want her to keep calm! How could she calm down right now? She hoped, what he had just said e backter¡¯ was just an excuse to refuse Dabai. It would be better if he never came back. Or, she wouldn''t fall asleep the whole night. "Dabao, your face is very red." Dabao was lying on her and poking her blushed face with his finger. "Is that so?¡± Feeling embarrassed, Xia Xingchen touched her face and denied, ¡°It''s not a blush. I just feel a little hot now." "So you have slept with Xiaobai long before. Why not take me together?" "¡­ ¡­" His words made Xia Xingchen want to cry. They indeed took him together, or how could she be pregnant? "You are too young to understand that." "Dabao, if you sleep with Dad, could you have another baby?" Xia Dabai looked at her innocently. "What?" "Could you have another baby with daddy? If so, he wouldn''t marry another woman." Have another baby? Xia Xingchen''s expression was unspeakably awful. How could this little viine up with this bad idea? "It isn''t possible to have a baby simply by sleeping together." "Then what else to do?" Dabai looked at her curiously with big and innocent eyes. His teacher in kindergarten told him that a boy could not sleep with a girl casually; if not, that girl will have a baby. "You often talk about the kind of topics together?" The clear words interrupted their talking suddenly. With ck nightgown, Bai Yeqing leaned against the door and looked at them leisurely. Xia Xingchen was so embarrassed that she¡¯d like to dig a hole and hide in. Did he hear all that they talked just now? Would he think that she also wanted to have a baby with him? "Daddy!" Dabai called in a clear voice and then waved at him. "Come and sleep! You sleep on the right, Dabao in the middle, Dabai on the left." As he said, he rolled to the leftmost side across Xia Xingchen, just like a fuzzy ball. "Hey!" Xia Xingchen wanted to stop him. How could she sleep in the middle? "Dabao, you are a woman. Little Bai and I should protect you." Xia Dabai took a look at Mr. President, "Dad, do you agree with me?" ''Refuse him!'' Xia Xingchen gave a low growl in her deep mind. However, Bai Yeqing said in a deep voice: "H''m, I agree."Author Rewardswangmama Wechat pay Chapter 20 The bed was no more than 1.5 meters wide. To begin with, Xia Xingchen and Dabai were lying on the bed and there was still more space for them to move. However, after Bai Yeqing came and lied down, she felt that the mattress sank, thus, she held her breath instantly and her body was as stiff as a stone. Bai Yeqing just took a shower, so there was a lingering smell of bath gel in his body. It was still that refreshing mint smell. Xia Xingchen tried to lie t, while Bai Yeqing had to lie on his side to fit the bed. Therefore¡­¡­ Her ears were against his chest. They were closer than ever, and she could clearly hear his steady and powerful heartbeat. Besides, she was afraid that Bai Yeqing had also heard her pounding heartbeats. ¡°Dabao, you haven¡¯t told me yet, besides sleeping together, what else can you do to give birth to a baby?¡± Dabai was still curious. Xia Xingchen had the urge to throw this little viin away directly. "I don''t know, don''t ask me." ¡°Howe you don¡¯t know, you and dad have given birth to me.¡± Xia Dabai¡¯s eyebrows wrinkled into a ball, apparently, he disliked her perfunctory attitude. ¡°¡­ then you can ask your dad.¡± Xia Xingchen muttered and took a look at the man lying by her. He was sleeping on his side, with one arm below his head. From her point of view, she could only see the man''s good-looking lower jaw and¡­ sexy Adam''s apple¡­ God is quite unfair, as He not only gave this man the supreme power but also gave him a perfect and handsome face. He seemed to sense her gaze, so he moved his body and looked down, just happened to catch the sight of Xia Xingchen. His eyes showed meaningful lights. ¡°Do you really want me to tell him?¡± Uh? Xia Xingchen'' face burned again. Why did this man ask her? She gave out a light cough, pretending to be calm, ¡°If you want, you can tell him. Anyway, I don¡¯t know anything.¡± ¡°You really don¡¯t know?¡± His voice was a little soft, and his hot breath was like feathers licking her ear. Such a night, such a distance, making the whole atmosphere inexpressibly suggestive. Xia Xingchen¡¯s eyshes jittered dramatically, and she simply ignored him. ¡°Dad, then you tell me.¡± Xia Dabai turned his curious eyes to Bai Yeqing. Xia Xingchen thought that he would also muddle through. As a result, he should exin seriously: ¡°Sleep together like this is not enough.¡± ¡°So how to do that?¡± ¡°It''s possible to have a baby only when two people sleep together.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen waspletely distraught. Is he¡­ teaching the kid sex education? But would it be too early? ¡°Only you and Dabao?¡± Xia Dabai rolled his eyes and thought for a while, and then he covered his face with both hands and got into the quilt quickly. Later, his stifled voice came from the quilt, ¡°You can neglect me~ Go to sleep and have a baby!¡± Xia Xingchen closed her eyes and pretended she was asleep. In short, she was going to be tortured to death by this little viin tonight. ¡­ With this man lying next to her, Xia Xingchen thought she would never fall asleep. However, sleepiness soon conquered her. In the middle of the night, she was already in a sound sleep and had forgotten where she was. After Xia Xingchen turned over, she touched a body and thought it was Dabai, so she smiled charmingly and reached out her hands to embraced him firmly. What''s more, she pushed ''Dabai'' with her face, like a spoiled girl. Bai Yeqing was a light sleeper. Therefore, he was immediately awakened by her hug. He looked down at Xia Xingchen, with eyes darkened. She was in a sound sleep, and her slumbering face was cute and a little childish. It was hard to imagine that such a girl already had a four-year-old child. She pushed his chest with her body again, which fastened Bai Yeqing''s breath. He frowned, "Xia Xingchen?" Bai Yeqing called her in a low voice and then gently put his hands on her shoulders. She was so slender that he could hold her wrist with only one arm. "Shhh, Dabai, quiet¡­" She whispered with eyes closed, putting her fingers on Bai Yeqing''s soft lips. She should consider him as his son? It was very outrageous. He lifted her face with his long finger and then tilted his face slightly. "Xia Xingchen, do you know who I am?" "Xia Dabai¡­." Xia Xingchen smiled sweetly and suddenly kissed on his lips. The wet and hot touch made Bai Yeqing quivered. He just felt like that a surge of current rushed through the lips and then swept his whole body in only one second. He breathed heavily and stared at the woman who kissed him and then kept sleeping as if nothing happened. He held her chin in one hand and encircled her slender waist with the other, pulling her closer to him. "Dare you kiss me again!" He warned Xia Xingchen in a low voice. The voice sounded muffled and sexy, while conveyed fatal dangers. "Dabai, you are so naughty¡­" Xia Xingchen grumbled and then put her supple lips on Bai Yeqing''s. When she was going to withdraw just as before, her lower lip was bitten all of a sudden. Ouch¡­ She frowned and woke up with a shock. She thought it was mischief that Dabai yed. However, when she opened eyes, the man¡¯s cold face was in front of hers. She instantly sobered up. He''s not Dabai, but¡­ Dabai''s dad! So¡­ The man who she kissed twice just now was¡­ Mr. President? Xia Xingchen gave a long wail in her mind and had an impulse to p herself. "Do you want more kisses?" Bai Yeqing said again in a low voice, seeing Xia Xingcheng was in a panic. "I¡­ I didn''t mean to it¡­" Xia Xingchen stuttered. At that moment, she finally found herself in his arms. Moreover, when they were talking, their lips were very close¡­ Only one small action, they were likely to touch the lips of each other. Holding her breath, she raised sight and stared at him in the eyes, but looked away hurriedly and finally focused on his lips. God! Even his lips were so sexy¡­ And she had just kissed them. It tasted¡­ not bad¡­ Wait! What hell was she thinking about under such condition?! Xia Xingchen felt bashful for her thoughts. She ced her hot hands on his toned arms, wanting him to let her go. However, the next second¡­ Bai Yeqing tightened his arms and sealed her lips with his suddenly. Xia Xingchen trembled sharply. "Hum¡­" All her thoughts were blown away, leaving apletely empty head. And her hands on the man¡¯s arms weakened immediately. It was as if all her strength had been extracted in an instant. Even her fingertips were also trembling. Chapter 21 Xia Xingchen had never kissed anyone except the man in front of her. When she was still dating with Xu Yan before, even holding hand in hand could make her blush. Besides¡­ She had no experience in kissing as thest one she had happened five years ago. Therefore¡­ Kissing waspletely unfamiliar to her now. She closed her eyes tightly, and almost forgot how to breathe. Not in a while, her tiny nose was covered by a thinyer of sweat. Bai Yeqing suddenly kissed more fiercely. Xia Xingchen was startled by his fierceness and came to herself like a duck in a thunderstorm. But he didn¡¯t take more actions and simply squinted: ¡°Dare you to misbehave again?¡± ¡­ ¡­ For a long time, Xia Xingchen kept feeling dizzy like she was in severe hypoxia. The man beside her had already gotten up and left, however, she still felt that hot feeling was burning her. Crazy! It was totally crazy! How could she be so dazed that kissed him more than once?! She was afraid that Bai Yeqing would think she did this deliberately. Xia Xingchen got very vexed. After a whine, she buried her burning face into the quilt. When breathing, she could still smell the odor of his body. Then Xia Xingchen put her hands on the breast, only to find that her heart¡­ skipped a beat again¡­ This feeling was so terrible! ¡­ ¡­ The following day. Xia Xingchen was dressing Xia Dabai on the bed, while Dabai was quite drowsy, and he yawned and asked: ¡°Dabao, where is Little Bai? Why is he not here?¡± ¡°He got up early, and you have to know that not everyone can sleepte like you.¡± When referring to him, she involuntarily thought aboutst night, and she felt very embarrassed. Did she need to exin it to him? ¡°So did you get a babyst night?¡± Xia Dabai suddenly asked. ¡°Dare you to speak of that again? If it were not for you, we wouldn¡¯t have¡­ ¡± Sheined, but when talking about this, she lost her tongue. The little kid seemed to sense something, and he tilted the head and looked at her with big eyes twinkling, ¡°Wouldn¡¯t have what?¡± ¡°Nothing. Now you get up.¡± Xia Xingchen patted on the kid¡¯s bottom and urged. After Xia Dabai got dressed and went downstairs to have breakfast, Xia Xingchen went to her own room to wash. She thought for a while and finally decided to talk frankly with Bai Yeqing. After all, she had to stay here to apany Dabai for some time, and they would encounter inevitably, so it would be better to exin clearly as soon as possible. When she went down, Bai Yeqing was striding out facing the rising sun. Xia Xingchen caught up with him: ¡°Mr. President.¡± Bai Yeqing halted and turned back, looking down at her from his height. The situation was a little bit embarrassed. Leng Fei and other bodyguards, who followed Bai Yeqing, all turned their heads, so she was too shy to speak out. Xia Xingchen walked near him and said in a low voice: ¡°Last night¡­ I hope that you don¡¯t get me wrong.¡± Bai Yeqing puckered his lips, ¡°Getting you wrong?¡± ¡°I¡­ I mistook you for Xia Dabai and I really didn¡¯t know it was you. So, it was just an identst night, and you shall forget about it in case of further misunderstandings¡­ ¡° Fine! She was the only woman who had asked him to forget everything after they kissed! Did she know how many women outside were dreaming of kissing him? His eyes got colder, and he took an indifferent nce at her, speaking expressionlessly: ¡°I won¡¯t keep such trifles in mind.¡± After the words, the man ignored herpletely. Then he got in the car and left without any hesitation. Looking at the motorcade disappearing gradually in her sight, Xia Xingchen stood there and pouted. Trifles¡­ Indeed. How could a president, who was always upied by myriads of state affairs like him, care about such an ¡®ident¡¯? So, why would she make an unnecessary notification and exnation for that? How ridiculous it seemed! Xia Xingcheng was annoyed for what she did. At once, thinking of his indifferent expression when he said ¡®won¡¯t keep in mind¡¯, she felt suddenly a little sad. But she didn¡¯t hope him to remember that, did she? ¡­ ¡­ After breakfast, Xia Xingchen continued to prepare assessment materials. Besides her, Xia Dabai was ying interestedly with the imitation guns Lei Fei brought him. Men seemed to show special preference to this kind of things. So did children. Xia Xingchen had given up trying to persuade him not to y with them because she knew it was useless. At that time, her cell phone rang suddenly. Looking at the number shing on the screen, she put down her pen and answered the phone. ¡°Xingchen, I have made a date for you.¡± It was her grandmother. ¡°What?¡± ¡°Last time I said I would arrange a blind date for you. Have you took it in your mind?¡± ¡°¡­ ¡­¡± In fact, Xia Xingchen really had forgotten it. ¡°I¡¯ll give you the address. Go there, now.¡± ¡°Remember to arrive before 11 o¡¯clock. Don¡¯t keep him waiting for a long time. Do you know that?¡± The olddy directly hung up the phone and sent the address to her mobile phone ten secondster. She couldn¡¯t even interrupt and had no time to refuse the date. She frowned and looked at her phone. Xia Dabai walked near her and bent to look, ¡°What?¡± ¡°A blind date.¡± ¡°A blind date?¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t like it, I won¡¯t go.¡± Xia Xingchen took a look at her son and was ready to delete the message. ¡°Go, of course. You should go.¡± Xia Dabai took the phone away fast and then he climbed and sat down on Xia Xingchen¡¯sps. Holding her face with two small hands, Xia Dabai said: ¡°Dabao, Uncle Xu Yan would marry Xia Xingkong and Daddy may marry someone else. So¡­ You need to find the one who will marry you. Although I have thought you could marry me¡­ I am still a child. Our teacher said children cannot get married.¡± Looking at her son, Xia Xingchen¡¯s eyes went red. Right. Before long Bai Yeqing would marry Song Weiyi. Till that time, she would have to move out and be separated from Dabai¡­ The more she thought about it, the more unhappy she felt. But she didn¡¯t dare to show that in front of Dabai. She just smiled and pinched his cheeks, which looked like small white buns, ¡°I know. As you like. If I really marry someone, you should be there as my page boy.¡± ¡°OK.¡± The kid promised, as his high morality reaching up to the clouds. But after thought, he put his lips in displeasure, ¡°But that person should be more handsome and wealthier than Daddy. What¡¯s more, he should be good to you.¡± ¡°¡­ ¡­¡± Xia Xingchen rolled her eyes at Dabai. ¡°Come on, stop dreaming.¡± ¡­ ¡­ Xia Xingchen took a taxi and went to the ce grandma told her. It was not time yet. Thinking that man had note, she sat down next to a window. For the blind date, she was absent-minded, so she took a book and watched it casually. Outside the coffee shop, a motorcade slowly drove by. The window of a car in the middle of the motorcade slowly rolled down and a beautiful face of young man emerged. ¡°Is she Xia Xingchen?¡± Chapter 22 The people beside him replied respectfully: ¡°Yes, second young master. Her original date has been intercepted by us, you can go now.¡± The young man nodded and took the sunsses off his aquiline nose. He opened the car door and put down his slender legs, ¡°Leave my car, you can go. By the way, tell my brother, I willplete the task he resigned me.¡± ¡°Second young master, do you need any bodyguard¡­¡± The young man waved his hand impatiently. ¡°Just go, don¡¯t get in my way. I''m not my brother or my dad, no political enemies wille to me. Why do I need a bodyguard with me?¡± ¡°Okay then.¡± The butler A Xian had no choice but to give up as the young master insisted. ¡­ ¡­ Before second young master Yu went into the cafe, he observed Xia Xingchen for a long while. From his position, he could only see her side face. But just judging from the profile, he knew that she got very beautiful features. Xia Xingchen was holding a book and reading very attentively. It seemed that she was not a blind date, but a well-behaved student who studied hard. He knocked at the table with knuckles. Xia Xingchen then looked up from the book. Seeing the man in front of her, she was a little surprised. Before she started to say something, the young man had already sat down opposite her. He squinted at her with his peach blossom-like eyes and called the waiter.
"Sir, would you like something to drink?" "A ss of water with ice." The man smiled brightly and looked at the waitress with sparkling eyes. It made the waitress flush. The man¡­ The man was really handsome. He was slender, at least 185cm tall. Bai Yeqing was the most handsome man Xia Xingcheng had ever met. However, the man before her was not inferior to Bai Yeqing. Bai Yeqing was more calm and steady, as for the man¡­he was arrogant and looked like a fop. "But, wait! Why did I think of Bai Yeqing inexplicably? There is nothing to do with him!" Xia Xingchen thought in her mind. Xia Xingchen was a little annoyed and then returned her attention to the man at present. There was a doubt in her mind. Was he really the divorced man grandma introduced to her? "You have been sizing up me for so long. Am I handsome?" The man cracked a smile and asked. The handsome man was so close to her that Xia Xingchen was a little dizzy. After closing her book, she replied in all seriousness: "Are you in the wrong ce, Sir?¡± "Xia Xingchen. You are the one going to have a blind date with me, right?" "¡­ Yes" "Yu Zenan, the man you date with." He reached out his hand towards her first. Xia Xingchen still couldn¡¯t believe that this man was her date. She also reached out her hand and gave him an unnatural handshake. ¡­¡­ Before meeting him, Xia Xingchen thought that he was a very old-fashioned divorced man. However, upon contact, she discovered that the man was young and humorous. This waspletely different from what was shown on the data given by grandma. However, she was very happy about this. Otherwise, even sitting for only another minute would be torture for her. Xia Xingchen and Yu Zenan actually sat in the cafe for an entire afternoon. They chatted away to each other, and Xia Xingchen found that he could continue on with her chat very well no matter she was talking about work or life. In that afternoon, the atmosphere between them was rxed and active, and they then ate dinner together. ¡­¡­ At the same time. Inside the presidential residence. Mr. President suddenly came back, and the servants in the residence moved quickly to the kitchen to prepare more foods. Bai Yeqing first went to the study and stayed inside for a while. When he came out, and the day waspletely dark. In the dining room, a fine meal was served on the dining table. The butler was waiting at the table. On the other side, the servant took the young master out by the hand. ¡°Dad.¡± Xia Dabai greeted. Bai Yeqing sat him in the children¡¯s chair and asked, ¡°What would you like to eat?¡± "Let me see¡­" He sat down in the host¡¯s seat, looked around with chopsticks in his hand and asked the butler, ¡± Where''s Miss Xia?¡± ¡°Miss Xia went out in the morning, she called then and said that she woulde back after having dinner with her friend.¡± "OK," Bai Yeqing answered. Xia Dabai tasted the soup and said: "Dabao went to a blind date." "What?" Bai Yeqing nced at his son. "I believe going to a blind date is good for her. It''s miserable that she fell in love with the younger uncle who doesn''t like her, so she needs to find the right person to marry her. Dabao will find her Mr. Right, is that right?" Xia Dabai turned to look at the butler behind him. The butler smiled and said: "Miss Xia is kind and considerate, she will find her Mr. Right. What''s more, it seems that they are having a wonderful time since they enjoy lunch and dinner together. Maybe it is their fate." "That''s what I am thinking about. I''ll send you wedding candies when Dabao gets married." Bai Yeqing nced at Xia Dabai¡¯s smiling face. Thinking of the woman (Xia Dabao) who was dating very happily, he became depressed, and then said with a low voice, ¡°All right, eat now.¡± After replying "Oh", Xia Dabai started to eat. The butler quietly observed Mr. President¡¯s slightly changed look, but he didn¡¯t dare to say more about Miss Xia''s date. Bai Yeqing should have a good appetite, but suddenly his appetite decreased at the moment. After eating a few mouthfuls, Bai Yeqing put down the chopsticks. ¡­¡­ When Yu Zenan was going to pay the bill after the dinner, he searched his pockets and found they were all empty. Damn! A Xian only left a car for him, but did not give him any money or bank card. Observing Yu Zenan''s embarrassment, Xia Xingchen paid the bill with a smile. Yu Zenan followed her and said, ¡°I owe you a meal, I''ll treat you a meal next time.¡± ¡°You do not owe me. You didn¡¯t eat the meal alone. I have to pay it.¡± ¡°No! I''ll not allow a girl to pay for me,¡± said Yu Zenan. The car Yu Zenan drove was Aston Martin, which stopped on the side of the road, attracting many people''s attention. He opened the front passenger¡¯s door and said to Xia Xingchen, ¡°Get on, I''ll send you home.¡± Xia Xingchen could feel the envious eyes cast by the pedestrians. It''s true that the man was not only tall and handsome but also very rich. Now he showed off his wealth tantly, no wonder others would be so envious of her! But¡­ It was inconvenient for others to send her to the ce where she lived. ¡°I don¡¯t need you to send me home.¡± Xia Xingchen pushed him to the car, opened the door and directly plugged him in. ¡°You have to go, driving such a car with me is just courting envy for me.¡± Yu Zenan thought it funny, ¡°If you don¡¯t let me send you back, then you just give me your phone. ¡°What do you want to do?¡± On the alert, Xia Xingchen shot a nce at him. ¡°Just give me.¡± With his long arms and legs, Yu Zenan leaned out the window, took the phone from her hand with ease. He tapped the screen with his long fingers, then his own phone rang. ¡°Well, a couple of dayster, I will take you to dinner. I know a very good ce.¡± After Yu Zenan finished, he threw the phone back to Xia Xingchen. Xia Xingchen saw her phone, thought that the young master was conscious enough that he had saved his phone number on her mobile. Zenan. Was such a natural socializer. ¡°Boom¨C¡°, the Aston Martin rushed out a few meters, but suddenly stopped and returned. The window slowly descended, and the beautiful face with a charming smile stretched out. He looked at her, ¡°You must answer whenever I call you, understood?¡± Chapter 23
Chapter 23 ¨C A Woman¡¯s Heart Is Like a Needle at the Bottom of the OceanBy Sweet Bun inGood Morning, Mr. President!
Xia Xingchen reported to Xia Dabai right after she went back to the presidential residence. She continued to prepare for her appraisal the day after tomorrow after taking a bath. There was only one day left. Xia Xingchen went to the study to search for more information. She was surprised to find a light was on when she walked in, then she saw the man. Bai Yeqing. Bai Yeqing was tall and he was leaning against the oval bookshelf, with a book in his hands. The light cast a golden glow over him. Xia Xingchen met him unexpectedly. She hardly saw him before, which was quite different these days. ¡°Hello, Mr. President.¡± Xia Xingchen greeted Bai Yeqing, trying to forget what happenedst night. Bai Yeqing cast a nce at her with his mouth closed and did not say a word. He continued to read the book in his hands. Xia Xingchen had got used to Bai Yeqing¡¯s constant indifference. But the president seemed in a bad mood today. Passing by him, Xia Xingchen just went on looking for the books she needs. She took a few books from the shelf, but there was still one book on the ce over her head. She didn¡¯t want to climb adder, because thest time when she fell off thedder still urred to her! Trying to tip her own toes, she still couldn¡¯t reach the book. When she was frowning and felt depressed, behind her, a ck shadow suddenly shrouded. Her heart thumped, a man¡¯s strong chest hade over and against her back. Then¡­ His long arm surrounded her, and the book was pulled out with ease. Unwittingly, his fingertip brushed her hair. The heat of the body met, and her heartbeat was messed up. When she turned round subconsciously, she saw he was bowing his head. At that moment, the lips of them were only one inch away. Her eyshes almost touched his nose. His eyes color was light dark. Suddenly, she was short of breath, and subconsciously, her body moved toward the shelf closer. Instinctively, she kept a safe distance with him, because¡­ This guy was too dangerous. Just for a casual nce, she would be addicted. However, she was sandwiched between him and the shelf. All her struggles were just in vain. ¡°What do you think of him?¡± Bai Yeqing asked abruptly. Xia Xingchen thought he would take a step back, but he didn¡¯t. With a book in his hand, he supported him against the bookshelf, bent down and looked at her. He was so tall that his posture was very oppressive for her. She was very diposed and just stammered: ¡°Who are you talking about?¡± ¡°The man you dated with.¡± His voice was clear and a little cold, but she couldn¡¯t recognize other emotions from his expression. She was stunned for that he has known the blind date. It seemed that Dabai had told him. With her fingers pressing against the bookshelf and scratching gently, she mumbled: ¡°He¡¯s¡­ quite good¡­¡± ¡°Do you n to keep associating with him?¡± He stared at the back of her head and said in a deeper voice, which he didn¡¯t notice that. ¡°That man is a good person, so¡­ I may have more dates with him.¡± Bai Yeqing stared at her and took a step back. As his breath withdrew, the feeling of oppression he brought also dispersed. Xia Xingchen was quite relieved. He turned back, passed Xia Xingchen that book, and gave a meaningful nce at her, saying: ¡°Now you don¡¯t like Xu Yan any more?¡± ¡°Xu Yan?¡± When Bai Yeqing mentioned him, Xia Xingchen felt a little upset in her heart. After all, Xu Yan was her first love. But outwardly, she shook her head, ¡°Five years ago, when I was pregnant with Dabai, we were over. Why talking about loving him or not now?¡± He snorted, ¡°Your mind is quite changeable. Just a few days ago, you found my trouble because of him, now you simply let him go.¡± Xia Xingchen was embarrassed, ¡°I was drunk that day, and I won¡¯t do that again.¡± ¡°Well,¡± She remembered one thing and hesitated before she tempted to ask: ¡°You and Miss Song¡­ would you really marry her?¡± Bai Yeqing gave a probing nce at her. Xia Xingchen was afraid that he misapprehended her and hurriedly exined: ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong, I am not trying to inquire about your private life¡­ I just want to know when you will get married¡­ once you are married I will definitely move out. If you tell me now, I can prepare myself mentally earlier.¡± He frowned, seeming disliked her exnation very much. Then he walked out of the study with heavy steps. Xia Xingchen subconsciously followed behind him, while his cold voice came, ¡°You can¡¯t go anywhere before I let you move out!¡± Speaking of this, he turned around and red at her. ¡°You are also not allowed to marry the man having a blind date with you!¡± ¡°¡­Why?¡± Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t understand. Bai Yeqing was too overbearing! ¡°There is no reason. You must submit to me!¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡­ ¡­ Xia Xingchen had been thinking about Mr. President¡¯s words since the night before, and she still couldn¡¯t understand. ¡°Weiyang, from your point of view¡­ If a man, who shares a house with you, somehow said that you were not allowed to move out, for what reason will he say like that?¡± In the lounge, Xia Xingchen took a sip of coffee and asked Chi Weiyang. ¡°Maybe he wants someone to share the expenses?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen rolled her eyes. ¡°What if he also said that he didn¡¯t allow you to marry the man having a blind date with you?¡± ¡°Do one-legged ducks swim in circles?¡± This time, Chi Weiyang rolled her eyes. ¡°If a man says like that, there will be only one reason: he loves you! That¡¯s why he doesn¡¯t want you to leave him and marry someone else. It goes without saying.¡± ¡°Love?¡± Xia Xingcheng gave a start. Bai Yeqing loves me? Thinking about it, Xia Xingchen waved off this thought. This was impossible. ¡°Impossible! Absolutely impossible! He won¡¯t love me!¡± Chi Weiyang noticed something unusual. She put down the coffee and said, ¡°Xingchen, are you living with a man? Why didn¡¯t even tell me anything about it? No wonder you refused to invite me to your home. There is a man in your house!¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s not what you think¡­¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Chi Weiyang said, crossing her arms and staring at Xia Xingchen, ¡°Talk more about it. Who is the man you live with? Is he handsome? Is he tall? Is he rich? You didn¡¯t even tell me. You should take responsibility for what you did!¡± Xia Xingchen identally told Chi Weiyang about someone living with her, but she really didn¡¯t know how to exin it. When she was thinking about the exnation, her attention was suddenly caught by the TV hanging on the wall of the lounge. The TV of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs often broadcast real-time political news every day. However, at this moment, a piece of intervention news appeared on the screen which immediately took Xia Xingchen¡¯s breath away. The anchor said seriously, ¡°Now there is an intervention message. Just two minutes ago, an explosion suddenly happened in White Feather Square. It is reported that the president¡¯s office was destroyed, and Mr. President may also be among the injured. In addition, there are many people affected by the ident. The specific casualties will be reportedter.¡± Chapter 24 ¡°How could this happen?¡± Chi Weiyang also noticed the news on TV. ¡°Does he get injured too?¡± Xia Xingchen muttered, her heart hanging over the throat. The horror on the White Feather Square scared her. ¡°God, I heard that the president got injured, is it true?¡± ¡°No way, is his injury serious or not?¡± ¡°Who knows. It is estimated that this explosion is aimed at Mr. President. If Mr. President really gets injured, I will be really grieved.¡± Others in the lounge also saw the news, and there was a lot of discussions. Xia Xingchen stared at the TV and wanted to see further reports. However, the news didn¡¯te out so fast. Chi Weiyang looked at the news and looked at Xia Xingchen. Then Chi Weiyang waved in front of her face. ¡°Hey! Xingchen, are you okay? You look pale.¡± Xia Xingchen shook her head and grabbed Chi Weiyang¡¯s hands, still staring at the TV. ¡°Why is there no further report yet?¡± she was quite worried. ¡°Stop watching now.¡± Chi Weiyang said: ¡°The performance appraisal in probation will start soon, we have to prepare for it.¡± ¡°Weiyang, you just go, I will wait here for further news.¡± Although she really wanted to give him a phone call and ask the specific circumstance, she didn¡¯t dial either him or Leng Fei. Looking at her, then at the TV, Chi Weiyang started to speak, ¡°Who are you worried about now?¡± ¡°Bai Ye ¡­¡± the name almost escaped his lips. Realizing that toote, she broke off in mid-sentence, dropping in silence. Nheless, Chi Weiyang heard that clearly, and asked, ¡°Mr. President?¡± In Xia Xingchen¡¯s mind, everything was total in a mess now. She had scarcely the strength to hide the truth and just nodded. Completely thinking that she was just amon citizen who expressed concern about the leader, Chi Weiyang said with disapproval, ¡°Forget it, you are just justifying your fear. Do you think it is necessary for you to be worried about Mr. President? Besides, there are so many bodyguards around him. He will be OK.¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Of course. Now, nothing can be more important than your performance appraisal in probation. Just follow me.¡± Chi Weiyang pulled Xia Xingchen¡¯s hand and left together. Xia Xingchen¡¯s heart had been on pins and needles, anxious and restless. Although she was not watching the TV, she constantly browsed the news on her mobile phone. There have been rumors said that it was a terrorist attack aiming at the president. No news was bad news! Xia Xingchen had been anxious. Until the news said that the president was safe, she was relieved, with a smile on her pale face. Staring at Xia Xingchen for a long time, Chi Weiyang finally couldn¡¯t help but say, ¡°Xingchen¡­ you seem to be very concerned about Mr. President. Why do you worry about him so much?¡± Xia Xingchen was stunned, putting the phone away, and asked, ¡°He is our president. Don¡¯t you care about him?¡± ¡°Yes, of course. But I don¡¯t care about him the same as you. What you do is more than caring for him. If others know your reaction to Mr. President¡¯s injury, they must think you are worried about your lover!¡± Lover? Because of the words that Chi Weiyang said, Xia Xingchen was shocked. ¡°Yes, why do I worry about Mr. President so much? Even though we had been close to each other, we two are not even friend now,¡± thought Xia Xingchen. ¡°No! It¡¯s impossible! I can¡¯t be so stupid that I fall in love with that man!¡± ¡°Nonsense,¡± Xia Xingchen sternly refuted Chi Weiyang. It seemed the word was said to Chi Weiyang, but it was more like to say to herself. ¡°If I have fallen in love with someone, that guy must be Xu Yan. It has nothing to do with Mr. President.¡± Chi Weiyang stared at her andughed. ¡°Just kidding! Why are you so serious? Mr. President is a handsome man who has great achievements in his official career. So everyone is worried about him for his getting hurt in the ident. But the performance appraisal in probation will start soon, I¡¯m more worried about the assessment.¡± So¡­ I had just worried about him so much, and it was no different from others. Wasn¡¯t it normal? It must be normal. Thinking about that, Xia Xingchen calmed down. The assessment had not yet turned to Xia Xingchen, and her cell phone rang. Unfamiliar number. She didn¡¯t think much, walking off and picking up the phone. ¡°Miss Xia.¡± ¡°Leng Fei?¡± She recognized the voice instantly. But why he called me? ¡°What¡¯s the matter? I just watched the news. Fortunately, Mr. President¡­¡± ¡°Miss Xia, Your Excellency was seriously injured. We need your help. Pleasee out. The car is waiting for you at the entrance.¡± ¡°What?¡± A number of worries attacked Xia Xingchen, ¡°But the news clearly showed¡­¡± ¡°I can¡¯t tell you details on the phone. Please do not tell others that Your Excellency was badly hurt. Please hurry up.¡± ¡°OK, I see. I¡¯ming out.¡± ¡°Your Excellency is severely injured,¡± the words from Leng Fei filled up Xia Xingchen¡¯s mind. She put her cellphone back in her bag and rushed outside directly. Chi Weiyang noticed and stopped Xia Xingchen at once. ¡°Hey, where are going? It is going to be your turn.¡± ¡°I quit. Go on to take your exam.¡± ¡°Are you crazy? How long have you been fighting for this opportunity? The Foreign Ministry is not a ce where anyone can be employed. It will be your turn, are you going to give up this opportunity?¡± Chi Weiyang stared at her. ¡°I got something really urgent.¡± Xia Xingchen shook off Chi Weiyang¡¯s hands. She looked extremely worried. ¡°What is more urgent than your job?¡± Xia Xingchen couldn¡¯t exin it anymore and hurried away, leaving Chi Weiyang totally confused. Chi Weiyang could do nothing but stamp on her feet angrily. A car stopped in front of Xia Xingchen when she rushed out the Foreign Ministry building. Xia Xingchen had seen the driver before, who was Bai Yeqing¡¯s trusted subordinate, so she got into the car. Xia Xingchen felt a heavy atmosphere all the way. She didn¡¯t say a word, but the driver¡¯s expression told her that Bai Yeqing was seriously injured. It was beyond Xia Xingchen¡¯s expectation that the driver took her to a more remote area instead of the presidential residence. After driving through countless security posts, a small house appeared in her sight. However, in such a quiet and remote ce, it was especially conspicuous. As soon as the car stopped, Leng Fei came out and greeted her personally. Leng Fei¡¯s expression was also quite unpleasant. At once she saw his expression, Xia Xingchen knew there must something wrong with Bai Yeqing. ¡°How is he?¡± ¡°Come in and you¡¯ll know it.¡± Xia Xingchen knew Leng Fei depressed and then didn¡¯t ask about the condition anymore. Atst, she asked: ¡°What can I do for you now?¡± Leng Fei answered her with another question: ¡°Miss Xia, can you cook?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°Could you deal well with trifling matters of everyday life, such asundry?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± She wouldn¡¯t have known them, but after Dabai was born, she learned the skills gradually. But¡­ Why did Leng Fei ask her these irrelevant questions? ¡°If so, please take care of Mr. President these days. Now the political situation remains turbulent and both domestic and foreign cast covetous eyes on him, therefore, Mr. President¡¯s injury should be held back. Because there are no servants, I could only ask you for help. Miss Xia, I hope you can understand and help us.¡± Chapter 25 Xia Xingchen understood why the news reported that Mr. President was not injured ¨C now the political situation was in the period that internal and external suffers intertwined. She nodded: ¡°Rest assured, I will take care of him.¡± Leng Fei nodded and guided her into the house. The house looked notmodious from the outside, but the furniture inside was avable in all varieties. There were only a few people whom Mr. President believed here. The atmosphere in the house was serious and strained. Xia Xingchen was on tenterhooks asking: "Where is he?" ¡°Follow me.¡± Leng Fei led Xia Xingchen to the only bedroom here. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. Hearing the sound inside, he turned around to warn Xia Xingchen: ¡°The scene may be bloody, so you must be mentally prepared.¡± Xia Xingchen took a deep breath and nodded. Leng Fei opened the door and came in. Although Xia Xingchen was mentally prepared a lot, she was scared to take a step back when she suddenly saw the scene in the room. The sheet on the bed was covered with blood, making her legs gave away. A fit of dizziness came over her. Blood. She was shocked by the blood all over the sheet, ground and Mr. President''s body. Lay dying there, the President''s chest was wounded by booming, and his chest was mangled beyond recognition. On his arm, the muscle and bone were exposed. Standing still, Xia Xingchen only felt that even the breathing became difficult. ¡°How¡­ how could he be injured so badly?¡± By all rights, protected by so many bodyguards, he shouldn¡¯t be attacked. "He was going to save a kid." Leng Fei understated. Xia Xingchen knew everything. Lonely at the top, the authority coexists with danger. He was the President, so he cannot shrink back but confront it. This man, to be the youngest and most popr president, was merited. Looking at him, a strange sincere feeling happened to her. It was a kind of respect, and admiration as well. She was very d that Xia Dabai¡¯s father was such a responsible man. Soon after, the doctor Fu Yichen had helped him with the wound and went out of the bedroom. Xia Xingchen quickly followed up, ¡°Doctor Fu, how is the President?¡± ¡°Now he is still in aa. The injury is so serious that he will have a fever at night. At that time, you remember to use alcohol to help him wipe the whole body.¡± ¡°Okay. I''ll do it. Anything else need to pay attention to?¡± ¡°The wound on the body must not be stained with water. This is my phone number. If he still has a fever tomorrow morning, give me a call immediately.¡± Fu Yichen wrote a phone number with a pen quickly. Xia Xingchen slightly frowned, looking at the direction of the bedroom, and said worriedly, ¡°Dr. Fu does not stay here?¡± She was afraid that if something happens, she could not handle it. ¡°There are a lot of wounded people in White Feather Square. I have to deal with the situation. The public knows my rtionship with the president. Once I disappear for too long, there will be doubts outside.¡± She was worried about Mr. President, but there was no other way at the moment. After Fu Yichen left, Leng Fei, along with a few people, also left. Since Bai Yeqing was unconscious, Leng Fei had to appear in the media to stabilize the public. Moreover, the murder of this ident must be detected as soon as possible, otherwise, the president would be always in danger. All of a sudden, there were only Xia Xingchen and Bai Yeqing in the house. Fortunately, there were bodyguards patrolling around. Xia Xingchen took a deep breath and tried to calm down before she entered the bedroom again. In the bedroom, Leng Fei and his fellows had reced the bloody carpet and the sheet with new ones. Bai Yeqing was lying on his bed with his wounds bandaged. It was not as shocking as it just had been. But¡­ She was still extremely worried. ¡­ At night. As expected, Bai Yeqing had a fever. His red face and furrowed eyebrows showed that he was quite ufortable. Xia Xingchen quickly prepared a wet towel and put it on Bai Yeqing''s forehead. However, when Xia Xingchen''s hands touched Bai Yeqing''s forehead, he breathed heavily and grasped her hands tightly. He used almost all his strength. She could feel his hot palms trembling with too much force. However¡­ At present, Bai Yeqing was weak. Xia Xingchen could shake off his hands easily. But she dared not. She was afraid that his wounds would be torn. "It''s me. Rx. You have a fever and I am taking care of you." Xia Xingchen whispered. Bai Yeqing was in a daze and he could hear nothing but a mild voice. The voice was like rain in the spring that could easilyfort people. Bai Yeqing''s eyshes trembled so much that it took him a while to open his eyes. Xia Xingchen''s worried face slowly emerged in his vision. ¡°It¡¯s you?¡± Bai Yeqing''s voice was extremely hoarse, and his lips were dry and painful. Seeing her, he was obviously relieved. Xia Xingchen nodded, ¡°Leng Fei asked me to take care of you. Rx, I will try to be gentle and don¡¯t hurt you.¡± He blinked to show he understood that. At the same time, he gradually rxed his vignce, and slowly moved his big hand away from her wrist. Xia Xingchen put a towel on his forehead and fetched the medicinal alcohol. Looking at him, she felt awkward. For God''s sake! She had to wipe around his body? "What?" Bai Yeqing felt that she had no further moves, so he asked her weakly, eyes closed. ¡°¡­Doctor Fu enjoined me to wipe your body with medicinal alcohol as you have a fever¡­¡± Xia Xingchen exined, with her voice getting lower. Bai Yeqing then opened his eyes and gave a nce at her. He observed clearly the embarrassment and shyness of her. ¡°Give me the alcohol, I will do it myself¡­¡± He used his strong willpower to keep himself sober. And then he groped for the alcohol bottle with the unscathed hand. The ces that he touched all got wet. Xia Xingchen looked at that and quickly grabbed his hand, saying with amazement: ¡°Don¡¯t move! If your wound tears, it will hurt.¡± Bai Yeqing twitched his pale lip, ¡°The pain is nothing.¡± He couldn''t remember how many wounds he had, whether serious or light. Since he grew up in the army, he experienced and could tolerate lots of cruel training. Compared with a fierce battle and torture, the wound was really nothing. Although he mentioned it casually, Xia Xingchen felt ufortable and distressed. ¡°I can help you. Be obedient and don¡¯t move.¡± She pulled a chair and sat down at the bed. Bai Yeqing frowned and stared at her. She dabbed the cotton wool with alcohol and carefully wiped it against the lobes of his ears. Then¡­ Neck, vicle¡­the chests that were not injured¡­ Continue to wipe from top to bottom¡­ When her fingers fell on the man¡¯s trousers, she could feel he stared at her with a deep andplex sight. Her cheeks were getting redder. Having a bite on her lip, she muffled: ¡°Close your eyes!¡± If he kept staring at her, would she die because of shyness? Although they had done everything, it was five years ago. Moreover, she still regarded that as a dream. Even at present, she still couldn''t remember it clearly, so¡­ Of course, she would be shy! Chapter 26 Bai Yeqing was vague in his mind, and even when he looked at things, it seemed to be covered with a thinyer of fog, but at this moment, in his own eyes, her shy and nervous look was so obvious. Now she was not the aggressive kitten when he just met her before, but more like a pure white rabbit. ¡°Afraid?¡± He spoke, his voice was hollow but defiant. She urged, ¡°Close your eyes right now!¡± Bai Yeqing inexplicably felt that she was a little funny. With a faint smile, he closed his eyes after all. Then¡­ Gritting her teeth, Xia Xingchen made up her mind to touch his pants with hands. Her fingertips were trembling. Damn it! What the hell is this task? ¡°Woman, be careful, don¡¯t touch randomly!¡± Bai Yeqing opened his eyes, warned with dumb voice, whose eyes color were deep and dark. Gritting her teeth, Xia Xingchen¡¯s face became more blush, she said with an emtive tone, ¡°What does it matter? I have touched it before¡­ Just finished, she saw his meaningful eyes and got annoyed that she shouldn''t have spoken out so impulsively. What was l talking about! Bai Yeqing squinted. There was something ambiguous in his expression, while his voice was quite soft. ¡°So as I have said, you don''t only remember the pain about five years ago¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen¡¯s face was so blushful that it even looked like to shed blood. What was the time right now? He still had time to think about things happened five years ago. ¡°I don¡¯t think you have a serious injury, you are still so spirited!¡± she muttered. Bai Yeqing closed his eyes and really did not say anything again. Xia Xingchen rubbed his body with alcohol even though she didn¡¯t want to do this. Her fingers were shaking and stiff. However, he was not much better. Every unmeant touch from her fingertips made him feel as if an electric current had passed through him, numb and hot. Her fingers slipped onto his toned legs. He opened his eyes and suddenly held her hand with his unscathed hand. Xia Xingchen had already been rmed when wiping his body, and she was frightened by his touch. He used a little force and then she was pulled toward him. Giving a little whoop, she almost fell down and pressed on his wounds. She was so startled that she supported her body against his side, with another hand he didn''t catch. ¡°It''s dangerous to do this!¡± With her eyebrows clenched, she was worried and looked at him somewhat reproachfully. Bai Yeqing started at her glowingly, "Are you sure that is the treatment Fu Yichen told you to reduce fever?" ¡°Yes.¡± She nodded. At that moment, they were very close, with the posture ¨C Xia Xingchen was on, he down. She could smell the gunpowder and the herbs on his body. She felt her heart beating faster than usual as if it would jump out of her chest at any moment. He squinted and said: ¡°Why do I think the temperature is higher, instead of reducing?¡± Xia Xingchen was very embarrassed. Not only did he feel his fever getting worse, but also¡­she felt her body was hotter! "Mr. President¡­" Xia Xingchen ran her tongues around her dry lips and continued, "If you don''t let my hands go, your fever will be more serious¡­" Besides, Xia Xingchen might be infected. At that moment, Bai Yeqing was apanied by no one but Xia Xingchen in the room, and their hands held tightly, wouldn''t they feel hot? Bai Yeqing stared at Xia Xingchen earnestly with his expression hard to read. Finally, he slowly released her hand. Xia Xingchen sat up in the bed, took a deep breath and wiped the sweat on her forehead away. Looking at Bai Yeqing in the bed, Xia Xingchen felt a little ufortable. She said to Bai Yeqing while packing her things up, "Have a good rest, I¡¯ll take your temperatureter." "Hum," Bai Yeqing replied. He closed his eyes and fell into sleep quickly as if he was exhausted. After packing things up, Xia Xingchen covered Bai Yeqing with a quilt. Bai Yeqing''s red face made her worried. Tonight, Xia Xingchen had to stay up and apany Bai Yeqing. It was hard for her to fall into a sleep. Worried. "But, why do I worry about him so much?" Xia Xingchen refused to think deeply. Just finishing cleaning up, Chi Weiyang then called. Xia Xingchen considered Bai Yeqing would wake up if she spoke loudly in the room, so she left out the room to answer the phone call. ¡°Xia Xingchen, just tell me what are you doing?¡± Chi Weiyang shouted there, ¡°Are you insane? You''ve worked so hard for today¡¯s assessment, and you just left and gave up the exam. You must tell me, what''s your reason?!¡± Xia Xingchen became terribly upset due to Chi Weiyang''s high voice. In fact, it was really a pity to give up the exam. Many people were dreaming of the job. It was frustrating to think of the long-running efforts that became in vain now. ¡°Forget it, I¡­ will find another job.¡± "Give me a reason!" ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen nced at the closed door of Bai Yeqing''s room and said, ¡°I have a friend¡­ He got serious ill suddenly. So, I came to take care of him.¡± ¡± Friend? A man? ¡° ¡± ¡­ yep.¡± ¡°The one you live with?¡± ¡°¡­ In fact, we''re not really in cohabitation. We just live togetherpelled by circumstances. To be precise, we don¡¯t know each other well..¡± ¡°If you¡¯re not familiar with him, you won¡¯t quit such a good job just because he is ill! Besides, doesn¡¯t he have families? Why does he need you, an acquaintance, to take care of him?" Xia Xingchen''s words puzzled by Weiyang. The servants and butler in the family had been with him for 10 years at most. He did not choose to believe them, but her, who was not very familiar with him. Why? He believed her? But¡­ this feeling of being trusted was actually not bad. Xia Xingchen pursed her lip. ¡°It¡¯s useless to say anything now.¡± ¡°Yes. You are eliminated.¡± The result met her expectations. And¡­ even if she passed the assessment, she had to take care of him these days, she can¡¯t go to work. Now it saved her the trouble ¨C she didn¡¯t need to take time off. Chi Weiyang did not understand Xia Xingchen¡¯s behavior, but thetter could not tell Chi Weiyang the real reason. Xia Xingchen had a brief chat with Chi Weiyang and then hung up the phone. Xia Xingchen opened the door and saw that he was still asleep in the bedroom. She let out a sigh of relief and turned to the kitchen. She began to think about what she should cook to help him recover more quickly. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of fresh ingredients. Xia Xingchen was a little hungry and just cooked a few noodles for herself. As eating, she kept poring over what she could cook. He was seriously hurt, so he''d better eat lightly seasoned dishes. He was very picky about food, but she could only make the mostmon home-cooked foods. She was not sure if he could get used to it. Xia Xingchen thought it over and over again, and finally decided to cook a bowl of chicken porridge. Putting the pot on the fire, she thought that he could eat the porridge when he was hungry after waking up. Chapter 27 After finishing cooking, Xia Xingchen called Xia Dabai. ¡°Dabao, how is your performance appraisal?¡± Xia Dabai¡¯s clear, loud voice came from the microphone. ¡°Not bad.¡± She didn¡¯t want to let Dabai down, so she told a white lie. ¡°Great. I know that my Xia Dabao can definitely solve any problem.¡± Xia Dabai was very proud of Xia Xingchen, feeling honored. Xia Xingchen felt particrly pleased because of his words. Although she did not participate in the performance appraisal in probation, after hearing her son''s words, her mood was much better. ¡°Dabai, you may have to live alone there recently. Mom can¡¯t go back to apany you at night.¡± "Why?" ¡°Well¡­ Mom has to go on a business trip for a few days. Be a good boy at home, okay? You can call me if you have trouble.¡± ¡°How many days will the business tripst?¡± ¡°I''m not sure.¡± It depended on Mr. President''s recovery time. "So, Dabao, you will miss me, right? I¡¯m missing you now." Xia Dabai said in a sweet voice, but he appeared to be somewhat unhappy. Xia Xingchen felt unutterable warm. She started missing Dabai the moment she left him. ¡­ Xia Xingchen took care of Bai Yeqing all night long. Xia Xingchen didn''t rest assured until she finally confirmed that Bai Yeqing was free of fever at the crack of dawn. She was extremely sleepy and fell into sleep beside the bed. Bai Yeqing opened his eyes, turned his head slightly and found Xia Xingchen sleeping beside him. Had she been taking care of me all night? Clearly, Xia Xingchen was fatigue and slept like a log. She was unutterably cute with her white face lying on her hands. Dabai''s facial features resembled his. But Dabai''s cuteness was much simr to hers. Bai Yeqing touched Xia Xingchen''s face slightly with his fingertip. The soft touch made it hard for Bai Yeqing to part from her. Bai Yeqing couldn¡¯t help stroking from her finely-formed brow to her dainty nose, and then down to¡­ her soft red lips with his long, slender fingers. Thest time he kissed her was five years ago, and now she was as fresh and sweet as she used to be. Bai Yeqing''s pupils constricted. At this time she seemed to be affected by his movements, ufortably squirming. Then she suddenly opened her eyes. He went nk, having an instinct for retracting his hand. However, he was so heavily injured that he failed it. So¡­ When she woke up, his fingers were still on her lips. When Xia Xingchen woke up, she felt itchy on his lips. The subconscious made her grasp the "thing" that harassed her. When Xia Xingchen was totally awake, she realized that it was Bai Yeqing''s finger. Ah? She looked up at his eyes and found that he was a little embarrassed. She became nervous and then rushed to release his hand. ¡°What happened¡­ to me?¡± She pointed to her mouth and looked at his hand again. ¡°Nothing.¡± Bai Yeqing has already restored the natural look, and faintly said, ¡°There is something on your lip.¡± ¡°¡­Okay." She got it. Xia Xingchen waspletely convinced and did not care. She just leaned over and put her hand on his forehead. Feeling the normal body temperature, she took a long breath and said, ¡°Fortunately, no fever. Are you hungry? Are you thirsty? I''ve made porridge for you. I''ll fetch it for you now.¡± Not waiting for him to answer, she got up and went out. Bai Yeqing looked at the busy figure for a long time. Until the door was closed and she disappearedpletely, he had not moved his eyes. For so many years, it had been the servants and housekeepers who took care of him. Since he was a kid, there were no one other than his mother who had cooked for him. Most of the women he knew were like Song Weiyi, who were pampered and did not do any housework. They were noble, they weredylike, but they were also very boring. When he was thinking about it, Xia Xingchen came in with porridge.
She raised his head slightly higher with a pillow very carefully, spooning porridge. The porridge was a little hot, and she was blowing carefully. ¡°What is this?¡± asked Bai Yeqing, looking at the porridge in her hand. ¡°Chicken porridge. Although it is notparable to the cubilose soup that you usually eat, the porridge I made is also first-ss.¡± When talking about her cooking, she was quite proud. ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Yes. Every time Dabai catches a cold and feels ufortable, I will cook this for him. He then gains spirit after eating it.¡± That was too exaggerated, as it was not a panacea after all. However, looking at her showing off, Bai Yeqing did not say anything to rebuke her. Actually, he really wanted to have a try. Just now he had no appetite, but after catching the smell of the porridge, he became quite hungry. ¡°Wait a minute, let me try first in case you get burnt.¡± Xia Xingchen seemed to mutter to herself, subconsciously licking the porridge in the spoon. After that, she froze for a moment. What was she doing? She often fed Dabai in this way, and as a result, it has be a habit! Then she raised her head and looked at him, ¡°I get used to it. Wait a while, I will go to the kitchen to fetch you another spoon.¡± When saying, she was about to get up. ¡°Hey!¡± Bai Yeqing reached out and took her hand. She turned and suspiciously looked at him, and then he grabbed her hand holding the spoon and sent it to his mouth. He opened his mouth and took all the porridge in the spoon. It seemed that he didn¡¯t mind at all. After eating, he even left hisment: ¡°The taste is not bad.¡± ¡°You¡­ don''t you have mysophobia?¡± Bai Yeqing looked calm, ¡°You and I have kissed before. Why you think that I will care about these trifles?¡± Xia Xingchen was embarrassed. This man should talk about the past so confidently and reasonably without blushing. However, the next moment she remembered something, then snorted: ¡°Hasn''t Mr. President forgotten those trifles, why to mention them again?¡± "Maybe my memory was refreshed by the explosion." What he said was so indifferent though, Xia Xingchen''s heart was hurting. Feeding him another spoon of porridge, she couldn''t hold back and asked, ¡°Do you have pain?¡± The voice was as soft as spring rain which could melt everyone. Bai Yeqing''s heart skipped a beat, and he raised his head to look at her. The distress in her eyes had not faded yet, lingering in the gentle eyes, just like ayer of tulle, which was so charming. With his deep eyes, Bai Yeqing stared at her, "Are you concerned about me?" His voice was gentle as well. Though hoarse. Quite sexy. While his eyes were infused with heat that made her heart beat faster. "Of course", the two words almost slipped from Xia Xingchen''s lips. However, she suddenly realized something, and the starting word "of" was stuck in her throat. Waiting for a long time but no answer was given, he lifted his eyebrows. Then, she began to say. ¡­ Chapter 28 Bai Yeqing waited a while, but Xia Xingchen still didn¡¯t answer. He raised his eyebrows, and then Xia Xingchen said: ¡°I certainly care about you. Among the sessive presidents, you are the most popr one in our country. Everyone cares about you. My colleagues and I learned from the news yesterday that you might be injured, and we all worried about you. ¡° Bai Yeqing''s pupils constricted, he asked coldly: "No more feelings?" Xia Xingchen pretended not to understand what he meant and changed the subject nonchntly: ¡°You are so weak, don¡¯t chat with me anymore. Eat the porridge while it is warm! The citizens will not worry so much if you get better soon.¡± As speaking, she lifted a spoon with porridge to his mouth. Bai Yeqing gave her a searching look for a long time, wanting to find an inkling of her true thinking. But in the end, he failed. Bai Yeqing suddenly felt a little bored. He didn¡¯t say anything, just eating porridge in a frigid manner. The intimate atmosphere disappeared. But now a myriad of thoughts crowded into Xia Xingchen¡¯s mind. Whether it was herself or other citizens that were worrying about Bai Yeqing ¨C she knew the answer actually. ¡­ ¡­ In the afternoon, Fu Yichen came over to change a fresh dressing for Bai Yeqing''s wound. Bai Yeqing was asleep on the bed. ¡°He had a feverst night which didn''t go until this morning. He also had a poor appetite, only eating two bowls of porridge yesterday.¡± Xia Xingchen told Fu Yichen the full details of Bai Yeqing''s situation in a soft voice, afraid of wakening him: ¡°He kept a clear mind only for a little while today, and then he fell asleep again. Doctor Fu, is he okay?¡± ¡°Well, this is normal. After all, he is badly hurt.¡± Fu Yichen nced at Xia Xingchen. ¡°I am going to change a fresh dressing for his wound, can you give me a hand?¡± "Sure." Xia Xingchen, ording to Fu Yichen¡¯s instructions, prepared to cut the gauze on Bai Yeqing''s chest with scissors. She hadn¡¯t started yet, and Bai Yeqing suddenly woke up. He immediately saw that Xia Xingchen was holding a pair of scissors and leaning over him. He frowned slightly, sayingzily: ¡°What are you doing?¡± ¡°Doctor Fu is here. We will change a fresh dressing for your wound.¡± Xia Xingchen said lightly: ¡°It may be a little painful.¡± Her tender look smoothed Bai Yeqing¡¯s knitted brows. He tried to stay awake, ¡°Give me the scissors and go out.¡± ¡°Why? I am the assistant of Doctor Fu, I can''t leave now.¡± ¡°Enough, go out as I required.¡± Bai Yeqing raised his hand to take the scissors away from her hand. But she was agiler than him, as she put her hands up, resisting to give him the scissors. He frowned. Is this woman teasing him as he is wounded? He nced at Fu Yichen and said, ¡°Take her out.¡± Fu Yichen took a meaningful look at Xia Xingchen and Bai Yeqing, and then spoke, ¡°Miss Xia, Your Excellency is afraid that you can¡¯t stand the wound on his body as it''s quite bloody. If you are afraid to see that, then go out, it''s OK to let him help me.¡± As soon as he finished, Bai Yeqing red at him with his sharp eyes. Why this guy talks so much nonsense!? What a big mouth! Xia Xingchen was surprised and she subconsciously peeked at Bai Yeqing. He¡­ is he really afraid that the wound would scare her? Since he didn¡¯t refute Doctor Fu, then¡­ is that so? She was slightly moved. Then she gave a smile, ¡°Don''t worry, I''m not that timid. Besides¡­ he is so badly hurt now, I am afraid he is unable to help even he wants to.¡± Fu Yichen nodded, ¡°It would be better if you can stay.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Bai Yeqing was a bit unhappy. So, his opinion waspletely ignored by the two in front of him? ¡­ ¡­ When Fu Yichen was preparing the medicine, Xia Xingchen helped to cut the gauze on Bai Yeqing''s chest and hands. Every time she cut, she would hold her breath. She had seen his wounds on the first day, but now thinking about it, she still felt dreadful. Her acts became more careful and gentler, fear of hurting him. Bai Yeqing¡¯s eyes were always fixed on her face, seeing her frown and pale face, he said with a deep voice: ¡°Don¡¯t force yourself.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t underestimate me.¡± Xia Xingchen nced at him and then focused on the work of cutting gauze. ¡°Although I have never seen such a serious injury, I have seen, no, I have experienced some big event.¡± ¡°You? What big event have you experienced?¡± Bai Yeqing casually talked with her. When dedicated to doing something, she looked very charming. ¡°When I gave birth to Xia Dabai, I had a massive hemorrhage and was dying. The doctor even gave my dad a notice of the critical condition. However, I made it. Otherwise, you won''t see me now. So, can it be called a big event that I''ve experienced?¡± Xia Xingchen said these words in a rxing way, and even with a smile. After that, she did not forget to look up at him, as if waiting for him to nod. Bai Yeqing, looking indifferently, frowned. How could this woman smile when talking about such a serious event! ¡°Don¡¯t be so serious,¡± said Xia Xingchen, who was almost scared by his grave face, ¡°Well, I shouldn¡¯t mention that at this moment.¡± She lowered her head, continuing to be busy again. The long hair on her cheek dissipated, covering half of her tight face. Staring at her, Bai Yeqing''s mind was full of the scene that she was lying on the operating table with fear and helplessness. Leng Fei had been following up her affairs. However, Leng Fei had never mentioned anything about the massive hemorrhage. Now hearing that, unexpectedly, he felt distressed. His long fingers suddenly extended to put her long hair on the cheek behind her ear. Touched by his fingertips, Xia Xingchen was stunned, and her heart beat faster. She subconsciously looked at him and noticed the faint butplex eye expression. Her heart skipped a beat. Arranging the hair beside the cheek shyly, Xie Xingchen did not say anything, but only silently buried her head to help Fu Yichen. However¡­ His eye expression always appeared in her mind. What is¡­ thatplicated emotion? Fu Yichen had witnessed all the details between the two people. Looking at them, he couldn¡¯t help but twitch his mouth. Growing up with Bai Yeqing in the army, Fu Yichen had never seen Bai Yeqing treated a woman in such a way. But¡­ It''s impossible for them to have a happy ending, isn''t it? ¡­ Xia Xingchen cut the gauze and Bai Yeqing¡¯s wound waspletely revealed. Even though she had seen his wound, Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t dare to look at the wound again after the first nce. He got injured so seriously. How painful it will be! Fu Yichen was also very somber, ¡°The medicine is strong and it will be a little painful.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, just apply the medicine.¡± Fu Yichen beheaded and applied the medicine slowly to his wound. At that moment, Bai Yeqing''s uninjured hand held the sheets underneath tightly. The unbearable pain caused his lips to be pale and his forehead and the tip of his nose sweating. However, even so, he was still resolutely biting his teeth, without a sigh. Xia Xingchen felt that her heart seemed to be smashed into a ball. Chapter 29 The tension gripped Xia Xingchen''s insides. She turned to the bathroom and took a wrung-out hot towel out, and then leaned over to wipe the sweat on his forehead. Bai Yeqing suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand. He opened his eyes slightly and looked at her. His eyes were covered with a thin mist at the moment, making him look more mysterious but her feel sympathetic. She could feel that he was struggling to endure the pain, as his hand on her wrist sometimes got loose and sometimes tightened, while his palm was icy-cold and covered with cold sweat, moistening her skin as well. Xia Xingchen couldn''t bear it anymore. ¡°Let''s chat and distract your attention, then you will not hurt that much.¡± She put down the towel and whispered, ¡°Do you want to listen to a story? Or, whatever you want to chat with me, you can go ahead." She was quite considerate. Fu Yichen couldn¡¯t help but look at the two of them. This scene was quite eye-catching. Bai Yeqing stared at Xia Xingchen, squinting his narrow eyes which were enshrouded by a vague halo, ¡°I have another way to distract my attention and relieve my pain more effectively than chatting¡­ Will you cooperate?¡± Xia Xingchen felt a bit dizzy. She actually thought his hoarse voice was so attractive, sexy and melodious. She nodded almost without hesitation, ¡°Of course. But, how can I cooperate with you?¡± ¡°Bent down a little,¡± he required. ¡°OK.¡± She bent down. ¡°Get closer.¡± ¡°Ah?¡± She hesitated for a moment, looking at him with her eyshes jittered. Now there was only 5-fist distance left between them. If she got closer, then¡­ It would be very dangerous. Bai Yeqing was so painful that he clenched Xia Xingchen by the wrist. She felt bad and immediately bent down to approach him. Although she didn''t know what was he going to do, it was good to relieve a little of his pain. When she was thinking about this, the distance between them already got so close that there was only one-fist distance left. The handsome facial features of this man magnified in front of her eyes and became a bit blurry. What''s more, she could clearly hear his slightly heavy gasp. Xia Xingchen asked anxiously: ¡°What on earth should I do¡­ Mmm¡­¡±
Just don¡¯t stop¡­
Xia Xingchen hadn¡¯t finished her words yet when Bai Yeqing suddenly lifted himself from bed to touch her lips with his cold lips. It was a cool touch, but Xia Xingchen only felt a horrible fierying from her lips in a deep trance. What¡­ What was going on? Xia Xingchen was much astounded. When she finally recovered from her surprise, she subconsciously raised her head and stepped back. But just as she backed off a little, Bai Yeqing suddenly held her back of the head. He brought her face closer to his and kissed her again. Xia Xingchen couldn¡¯t resist the man¡¯s overbearing kiss at all. She only felt that the air in her chest was evacuated for a moment. She felt the tingling of her tongue. This kiss was more and more dangerous. She was a little scared, afraid that she would be intoxicated and fell into an abyss. But she was unable to stop. ¡°Oh¡­I''ve finished dressing your wound.¡± The kiss didn¡¯tst a long time, and Fu Yichen, who waspletely ignored, couldn¡¯t help but cough to draw their attention. Was there a Single Person Protection Association? He wanted to apply for protection! The twopletely regarded him as the air. He really doubted that Mr. President was noting here for recovery but using his wound as an excuse to develop a romantic rtionship with Miss Xia. What a good excuse! Xia Xingchen only recovered from her surprise after Fu Yichen gave a cough. She btedly remembered that Doctor Fu was still there. Blushing and panicked, she wanted to back away Bai Yeqing. Bai Yeqing sped Xia Xingchen in his arms, his lips lingering on hers, and finally, let go his hold of her. She nced at him in a flurry, noticingplex emotions showed in his dark eyes. Xia Xingchen suddenly became confused and did not dare to study his underlying meanings. She just turned around blushingly. She ran out of the room as if she was fleeing from him. Although she did not look back, she could clearly feel that Doctor Fu was looking at her with meditative eyes. It''s so shameful! ! ! She should¡­ be kissed again unreasonably, not to mention that shepletely forgot Fu Yichen''s presence! ¡°I¡¯m crazy!¡± Xia Xingchen paced up and down outside the door, holding her head in her hands. What a bad man! It was not a way to distract his attention at all! She had been fooled. However¡­ She actually did not resent his kiss, and her heart even beat faster. Covering the chest for a long time, Xia Xingchen could clearly feel her heart constantly beating with high speed. "What''s wrong with me?" thought Xia Xingchen. "Have I really fallen in love with him?" ¡°No! It''s impossible!¡± Xia Xingchen was a little surprised at her own thoughts. She patted her face and wanted to be clear-headed. At the same time, she kept muttering, ¡°Any man''s kiss can make my heart beat faster, let alone he is the president. Besides, he is so handsome and has a pretty body shape. ¡° ¡°Yes, so, don¡¯t be captivated! Xia Xingchen, you have to stay clear-headed!¡± How noble was Mr. President! How could she, an ordinary civilian, take a fancy to him? Even though they lived together now because of Xia Dabai, they would never be so close to each other without this kid. If she really fell in love with him, she would be just one of the thousands of women who admired him. Historically, there had never been a romantic rtionship between presidents and civilians. Among so many presidents, almost everyone''s marriage was a political one. If a president wanted to gain a foothold in politics, marriage and love would have to be his stepping-stones. Whether they did it involuntarily or voluntarily, they would eventually make the same choice. Therefore, an ordinary civilian who fell in love with a president was simply ignorant, and her affection would eventually be transient bubbles. "You must never be fooled by him again!" Xia Xingchen was sensible and she forced herself to calm down, but¡­ An unspeakable sense of loss unconsciously spread out in her heart. She refused to ponder over the reason. After a while, Fu Yichen came out with the medicine box. Seeing him again, Xia Xingchen felt embarrassed, but she still sent him out. ¡°You two fall in love?¡± asked Fu Yichen. ¡°Ah? No, no!¡± She immediately denied. Fu Yichen smiled and seemed to have ignored her words. He continued, as if talking to himself, ¡°Yeqing looks cold. But if you get close to him, you''ll find that he is actually warm and gentle. Women can easily fall in love with him.¡±
Chapter 30
What Fu Yichen said is true ¨C it was really simple to fall in love with Bai Yeqing. Therefore, if she kept getting along with him in an ambiguous way, she might also have a crush on him spontaneously. Xia Xingchen was actually a timid person, who dared not to do desperate things regardless of anything, like developing a romantic rtionship with Mr. President. So, after that day, she intentionally or unintentionally kept a safe distance from Mr. President. Things like using a kiss to relieve pain never happened since then. Moreover, after Bai Yeqing got better, he was in the middle of official business. Even if he was still lying in bed, Leng Fei woulde over and report the situation outside in time. He showed up neither on TV nor in the public for four days. His disappearance had aroused suspicion among people at home and abroad, so he had to discuss feasible measures with Leng Fei. On the fifth day, after sending Leng Fei and other people away, Xia Xingchen turned to the kitchen to boil water for him to take medicine. When she was busy, the phone rang. The name "Zenan" shed on the screen. She was confused for a while, and then remembered he was the person who she had a blind date with before. It¡¯s been so long, and neither of them had called each other, she had thought they were done. ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Are you in the Foreign Ministry? I am at the door of your office now. Come out, I''ll take you to dinner.¡± Yu Zenan¡¯s voice came from the other side. He naturally engaged with her, even if they have only met once. However, it wasn''t the right time to mention this. Xia Xingchen got embarrassed, ¡°I didn''t participate in the assessment, so they excluded me.¡± ¡°You have been preparing for it so hard, why didn''t you take it?¡± ¡°It''s a long story.¡± Xia Xingchen''s voice sounded a bit upset. But then she braced herself, ¡°It doesn''t matter now. I''m already looking for other jobs.¡± ¡°You''re qualified for it, just wait, the Foreign Ministry will definitely invite you back.¡± ¡°Just don¡¯t coax me.¡± Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t take his words seriously. Yu Zenanughed, ¡°You''re in a bad mood, aren''t you? So I try to make you feel better. But it''s not sincere enough to do so by calling. Where are you? Let me pick you up and take you to eat something delicious to spirit you up.¡± ¡°Youe in your Aston Martin?¡±
Aston Martin
¡°If you don¡¯t like this car, I will change to another one.¡± "No, I didn''t mean that, but I''ve been busy recently. I can¡¯t go out today." She didn¡¯t hate to have a date with Yu Zenan, but her priority at the moment was not to consider her own marriage. "Then¡­ what about tomorrow?" "I¡¯m afraid I can''t go out tomorrow either. Maybe ten dayster is OK." "Okay, then ten dayster!" Yu Zenan agreed without the slightest hesitation. Xia Xingchen thought that Bai Yeqing might not fully recover within ten days, but he would definitely be up and about. It should not be a problem for her to go out for a while. ¡°Okay. Let''s meet ten dayster¡­ Hey, why did you get out of the room?¡± Having not fished the words yet, Xia Xingchen saw Bai Yeqing in the hall when she turned back. She was shocked. "What?" Yu Zenan was confused about her words. "Nothing. I''m so sorry. I''m busy now. See you ten dayster." Finishing these words, Xia Xingchen hung up the phone hurriedly. Bai Yeqing walked hardly. Each step made him painful from head to foot. He walked from the room to the hall unstably. For such a short distance, he even broke into a cold sweat. Afraid that he would fall, Xia Xingchen rushed over to help him. Being anxious, when Xia Xingchen entered the hall, her waist hit into the corner of the sofa back seriously. She took a deep breath, frowned, and kneaded her waist. But her steps did not slow down at all. She walked over, held him, and couldn¡¯t help but murmured, ¡°Why did youe out? Doctor Fu said you should stay in bed and rest.¡± ¡°Tomorrow I have to appear in public. I need to get used to this pain.¡± ¡°You have to appear in front of the media tomorrow?¡± "Yes." Xia Xingchen frowned slightly, ¡°But your current physical condition will not allow you to go out for a long time. Moreover, you¡¯re not fully recovered yet. There are so many people outside, and the weather is not very good. I''m afraid you would be infected¡­¡± Thinking about that, she was even more worried about him. Bai Yeqing gazed at her worrying face. It seemed that his wound was not so painful suddenly. But he only asked gently, ¡°How about your waist?¡± "What?" His question made Xia Xingchen confused. What did he mean? Bai Yeqing glimpsed her, and then he suddenly grabbed her waist with his uninjured hand. With a little effort, he pulled her close, and she almost pressed her face against his chest. ¡°Oh¡­¡± Xia Xingchen stiffened, making small groaning noises. She worked very hard to keep a distance from him, ¡°What¡­ What are you doing?¡± His chest had been badly wounded. She was afraid of hurting him, so she could only put her hands on his shoulders. However, this man seemed to have forgotten that he was injured. The big palm resting on her waist moved to another side, which was exactly the ce she had just hit. "Ouch¡­" Xia Xingchen frowned slightly. ¡°You silly goose!¡± Bai Yeqing looked down at her, snorted, and patiently massaged her bruised waist. She went nk. Realizing what he was doing, she felt a hint of warmth and developed a faintly discernible affection¡­ His palm was very warm. The heat was transferred from his hand to her skin through her clothes, and it prated into her insides. She only felt that the pain had just disappeared without a trace. The only things that left¡­ Were herpletely chaotic heartbeat, and¡­ the heat that aroused her¡­ In the past few days, she tried very hard to keep a safe distance from him, but now¡­ They were so close that she could see his wonderful strong features. Further down was his sexy Adam¡¯s apple and corbone¡­ She lowered her head to avoid looking at him. This man was definitely a fairy in a past life as he was so impable¡­ ¡°Well¡­ I¡¯m fine, it didn''t hurt¡­¡± Xia Xingchen finally found her voice. It was a simple sentence, but she spoke disjointedly. Bai Yeqing, keeping massaging, just looked down at her and asked, "What happened to your work?" ¡°Ah?¡± She was in turmoil because he was so close to her. ¡°I just heard you talking on the phone ¨C you were eliminated from the Foreign Ministry?¡± ¡°Oh, yep.¡± Xia Xingchen cleared her head, ¡°I was about to take the test on the day you were injured. But before it started, Leng Fei sent for me.¡±
Chapter 31 ¡°On the day you were injured, I was going to take the assessment. When Leng Fei sent someone to pick me up, I hadn''t participated in it.¡± ¡°Why don''t you say that earlier?¡± ¡°In any case, I have already thought about finding another job, so there is nothing to say,¡± said Xia Xingchen, pretending to be casual, but she was still somewhat upset inside. Bai Yeqing nced at her and thought she would say something more, but she became silent. He asked, ¡°Is there anything else you want to tell me?¡± ¡°What?¡± Xia Xingchen looked up slightly, while he was lowering his head, their lips almost touched. With the chest getting tight and the face blushing, she murmured, ¡°Well¡­ thank you, my waist doesn''t hurt anymore.¡± After that, she took a step back and kept a distance from him. For a long time, her eyshes still jittered very badly. "Xia Xingchen, you have warned yourself to be sensible! How can you get anything wrong when you get close to him?" She secretly reminded herself. Bai Yeqing didn¡¯t know that she had so many thoughts at that moment. After taking a look at her, he sat on the sofa, holding the armrest, then said, "You can ask me to give you a job in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. You know, for me, it¡¯s very simple."
The study room¡­
Xia Xingchen thought, how could she be so overconfident? Who was she, and why did she think she had the ability to ask the president of the country do her a favor in such trifles? ¡°I''m not used to owing others a favor. Besides, I''m already looking for a new job.¡± Others? Bai Yeqing was very dissatisfied with this address. He nced at her with cold eyes, saying, ¡°You''re trying your best to take care of me, so such a request cannot be excessive. What¡¯s more, it was because of me that you didn¡¯t participate in the assessment.¡± Xia Xingchen still shook her head. Looking at him and considering for a while, she said, ¡°In fact, the reason why I do my best to take care of Mr. President is that¡­ you are the most popr president of our country, so you don¡¯t have to take it to heart.¡± Bai Yeqing looked over and stared at her face, eyes turning darker, ¡°Just so?¡± ¡°Of course it¡¯s also because you are the father of Dabai. If anything happened to you, he would be very upset. I¡­ don¡¯t want him to be unhappy.¡± When saying this, she turned her face slightly and never looked at him. The reasons were exined to Bai Yeqing. Actually, Xia Xingchen also said these words to persuade herself. "That''s right! It''s definitely the reason why I''m worried about him and take care of him so carefully!" "Besides, I have no more feeling for him!" Xia Xingchen kept persuading herself in the mind. And she also kept reminding herself to be clear-headed. "That''s all?" said Bai Yeqing with a low voice, "These are all the reasons?" It seemed that he wanted to see through her. Xia Xingchen was puzzled. Why did Bai Yeqing ask these questions? What did he want her to say? Xia Xingchen took a deep breath and tried her best to control her mood swings. Looking up at him with a bright smile, she replied, "Yes. Should there be other reasons? But Mr. President, do you think I have¡­" She paused. Bai Yeqing asked, "What?" "¡­" Xia Xingchen looked at him and plucked up the courage to continue, "Actually¡­ I don''t have¡­ feelings for you. Hope you won''t misunderstand." At the moment, the smile on her face was even brighter. Bai Yeqing''s face turned pale and looked at Xia Xingchen indifferently for a long time. After a while, he stood up and looked down at her, "It can''t be better that Miss Xia is so calm and restrained. I''m so d you don''t bother me." His voice was like icicles, and every word was full of bleakness and alienation. Xia Xingchen felt a little pain in her heart. So, expectedly¡­ If she fell in love with this man, he would definitely think she was trouble. Bai Yeqing continued, ¡°Coincidentally, I don¡¯t like to owe irrelevant people a favor either, so I''ll try my best topensate you in other aspects. When I fully recovered, I''ll ask Leng Fei to pay you for these days.¡± Finishing these words, without a nce at Xia Xingchen any more, Bai Yeqing stood up and walked towards the study room. At this moment, even his back view was indifferent. Xia Xingchen sighed. She didn''t figure out his sudden change in attitude, or maybe she didn''t dare to ponder over it. She was afraid that it would be particrly ridiculous to end up being self-confident. Noticing that Bai Yeqing still walked unsteadily, she instinctively followed up and wanted to help him. However, before her hands touched him, he avoided silently. She was stunned, and her heart slightly tightened, painful. Xia Xingchen''s lips moved, but then she swallowed back the words on the tip of her tongue. In fact¡­ It was okay! This was fair enough¡­ Her mind should be settled as still water. She didn¡¯t bother about him, instead, she turned to the kitchen, somehow feeling pain in her waist again. She massaged the ce where she felt pain, but the pain didn¡¯t go away. ¡­¡­ Afterward, there seemed to be a special tacit understanding between them ¨C they treated each other in an indifferent manner. When Bai Yeqing had a video conference in the study room, Xia Xingchen would only silently serve him with water and medicine without asking him if he was okay as before. While Bai Yeqing¡­ He had never got too close to her since then. The warm feeling between them a few days ago was just like an illusion. Xia Xingchen was tossing and turning all night on the sofa. The next day, Leng Fei came to pick up Bai Yeqing. Numerous media had been waiting for him in the White Feather Pce ¨C he needed to personally report the investigation of the explosion in the White Feather Square. He had to change clothes. Xia Xingchen took sterilized clothes into the bedroom. Bai Yeqing had put on trousers, standing there with his upper body covered with gauze. Leng Fei stepped back a few paces and said, ¡°Miss Xia, please.¡± Xia Xingchen nodded and put a shirt and a suit jacket on the bed. She picked up the shirt and wanted to help Bai Yeqing wear it, but thetter looked at her with a superior air, saying, ¡°Leng Fei,e here.¡± ¡°Me?¡± Leng Fei was surprised. ¡°Can''t you?¡± Bai Yeqing raised his eyebrows unhappily. Leng Fei answered in a hurry, ¡°Of course I can!¡± But he really had never dressed a man before! Xia Xingchen handed the shirt to Leng Fei and stepped aside. Leng Fei was so clumsy that he touched Bai Yeqing¡¯s wounds several times, which hurt a lot. In the end, both of them were sweating and very embarrassed. ¡°Your Excellency, I really can¡¯t do this kind of thing. You can assigned assassination tasks to a rude person like me, but I really can¡¯t get dressed for you while avoiding touching your wounds.¡± ¡°Okay, back off.¡± Bai Yeqing also didn¡¯t want to be tortured anymore. He wanted to do it by himself. Just then, one of his sleeves was gently held by a delicate hand. ¡°Lift up your arms a little.¡± Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t look at Bai Yeqing. She just lowered her head as if she waspletely focusing on helping him get dressed. ¡°Well, that¡¯s it¡­ OK, you can put down your hands now.¡±
Chapter 32 ¡°Lift up your arms a little.¡± Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t look at Bai Yeqing. She just lowered her head as if she waspletely focusing on helping him get dressed. ¡°Well, that¡¯s it¡­ OK, you can put down your hands now.¡± Trantor: Sweet Bun After helping Bai Yeqing get fully dressed, she patiently did up the buttons on his suit jacket one by one. The light reflected by buttons iid with diamonds shone in her eyes. Then she stood up on tiptoe to help him with the tie. She was really dexterous. Bai Yeqing¡¯s gaze fell on her nimble fingers for the fourth time, and finally, he couldn¡¯t help but ask, ¡°Do you often do this kind of thing?¡± "?" Xia Xingchen raised her head slightly. He pointed at her agile movements with his chin, frowning slightly. ¡°Wear the tie.¡± Did she once help another man with the tie so she was dexterous? "Ah? Oh." Xia Xingchen reacted slowly, "Yes, Dabai has to wear a tie in the kindergarten, so I learned that. What''s wrong?"
Wear the tie for him¡­
That ounted for it. ¡°Nothing.¡± Bai Yeqing looked indifferent as if he was just asking casually. However, he smoothed his knitted eyebrows unconsciously. And he looked much better. Leng Fei looked at them standing by, and he couldn¡¯t help but apuded, ¡°Miss Xia, I really didn¡¯t expect that you were such an understanding wife and loving mother. No wonder when Mr. President was in a daze because of the injury, he didn¡¯t believe anyone except you.¡± Bai Yeqing red at Leng Fei ¨C he talked too much. Xia Xingchen said, ¡°Don¡¯t make fun of me, please. If I''m an understanding wife and loving mother, why I still have no boyfriend?¡± ¡°It will be a blessing to marry you. If you want to get a boyfriend, I will try to set you up with a reliable man at any time.¡± "Really?" Xia Xingchen smiled, her eyes forming a crescent moon shape. She turned her face to Leng Fei and bantered with him, "Well, then I can leave the matter to you." ¡°Rest assured, I will bear that in mind. If there is any match, I will¡­¡± ¡°Secretary Leng, when did you be a part-time matchmaker?¡± said Bai Yeqing, pensively. He interrupted their conversation, his gaze sweeping Leng Fei and Xia Xingchen, as sharp as an arrow. Leng Fei shivered and immediately shut up. He sensed that something was wrong between Mr. President and Miss Xia as soon as he came here, and now he was even more sure about that. Thinking that it was Leng Fei¡¯s joke made the president unhappy, Xia Xingchen didn''t say anything and just concentrated on her own task. After a while, she said, "Done." Having helped him put on both the vest and the suit, Xia Xingchen took a step back. Dressing up formal attire, he seemed to be another person different from the injured one in a patient dress lying on the bed. When he was lying on the bed and needing her care, he was much easier to get close to. Today, he was no longer a patient. Standing there, he was Mr. President again. His leadership temperament kept people far away as if he was a peak that was difficult to climb, and people could only look up to him. The man in the formal attire was the real Bai Yeqing ¨C the president of the S country. And she, one of the ordinary people, could only look up to him. ¡°Miss Xia, Mr. President gets better now. You can go back to the presidential residence today.¡± Leng Fei¡¯s words interrupted her thoughts. She looked up and found Bai Yeqing had already walked out of the bedroom. Even his back was tall and straight, full of power. ¡°Shall I go back today?¡± Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t expect it, and nced at that back again, ¡°If Doctor Fu needs to change a fresh dressing¡­¡± ¡°As long as Mr. President manages to hold on in front of the media today, it would no longer be a problem.¡± ¡°All right.¡± Xia Xingchen nodded, ¡°I''ll pack my bags and leave.¡± ¡°Well. The driver will wait for you outside the door. Now we''ll go first.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Xia Xingchen thought for a moment, and she couldn¡¯t help but said, ¡°He has not fully recovered yet. Don¡¯t let him get too tired.¡± Leng Fei smiled, "Of course." It seemed that Leng Fei had known about everything, which made Xia Xingchen feel a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Leng Fei didn''t stay long, and the group left in a hurry. Looking at the cars gradually disappeared, Xia Xingchen was somewhat depressed. She was about to go back and meet Xia Dabai, shouldn''t she be happy? ¡­ In the car. Bai Yeqing asked, ¡°Why didn¡¯t you talk to me about her job?¡± Leng Fei said, ¡°You didn¡¯t ask, so I didn¡¯t mention it.¡± Compared to national events, Miss Xia¡¯s assessment was trivial. How could he mention that at this moment? ¡°Go there to leave a message in the name of whoever important.¡± Bai Yeqing said in a t tone, looking out the window. Leng Fei asked, ¡°To let Miss Xia return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?¡± "Just give her a chance to take part in the assessment." She had prepared a lot for the assessment, so he would give her a chance to prove herself. Leng Fei understood that, and he peeked at Mr. President, was about to speak something, but saying nothing. Bai Yeqing turned his face and nced at him, ¡°Say whatever you want.¡± ¡°You and Miss Xia¡­¡± ¡°What are you worried about?¡± ¡°In fact, it''s not a worry. Well, Miss Song has called me a few times recently. She''s very concerned about Your Excellency. I can see that she''s very interested in political marriage.¡± Bai Yeqing remained silent for a long time, and his expression was so elusive that no one could figure out what he was thinking. Finally, he slightly nodded, ¡°I have my own idea.¡± Listening to that, Leng Fei didn''t speak anymore. Those who do great things have always been good at measuring the stake. In the face of the country and power, romantic love is always a stepping stone. Every one with supreme power is clear about that. Along the way, Bai Yeqing didn''t say anything but kept turning over the investigation of the explosion in the White Feather Pce presented by Leng Fei. Fu Yichen gave him a painkiller shot in the morning, which somewhat suppressed the pain of the wound, so he could barely endure the pain now. ¡­ ¡­ On the other side. Someone knocked at the door of vice-president Yu''s study. ¡°Come in.¡± Yu Zeyao¡¯s voice came from the study, and A''Xian opened the door, respectfully saying, ¡°Mr., the second young master is here.¡± ¡°Let him in.¡± Yu Zenan walked in and closed the door, asking, ¡°Brother,st time I called you to do something for me, is it all settled?¡± ¡°Let Xia Xingchen return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?¡± ¡°Yeah! How''s it going?¡± ¡°Don''t worry, I''ll deal with it today.¡± Yu Zeyao took the remote control and opened the giant screen in the study. TV news jumped out on the screen. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± Yu Zenan raised his good-looking eyebrows, ¡°If you want me to pick up this girl sessfully, you have to handle it. Otherwise, I will look bad in front of her. Hey, I have something to ask you!¡± Yu Zenan approached his eldest brother, while thetter was focusing his attention on TV news. Sweet Bun ¨C
Chapter 33 Yu Zenan approached his eldest brother, while thetter was focusing his attention on TV news. In the news, the incumbent Mr. President showed up safe and sound in the public, everything arranged well and the whole situation under his control. Yu Zeyao frowned, as he didn¡¯t expect Bai Yeqing to be so lucky to survive. ¡°Brother, I''m asking you!¡± Yu Zenan waved his hand in front of him, ¡°You haven¡¯t told me yet, what¡¯s so special about Xia Xingchen that you insisted I go to handle her?¡± ¡°Not to handle her, but to marry her!¡± Yu Zeyao took the remote control and turned off the TV, replying to his brother in a serious way. Yu Zenan raised his eyebrows, ¡°She''s not a rich girl born in a powerful family, her dad is just a mayor. Will you let me marry her?¡± ¡°Well, do you know who her mother is?¡± ¡°Her mother? You mean that Li what¡­ I haven''t looked through the profile you gave me.¡± ¡°That''s just her stepmother. Eight years ago, Lady Lanting asked me to look for her daughter in S Country. It took me eight years to finally get a trace.¡± Yu Zenan was shocked, ¡°You mean¡­ Xia Xingchen is the daughter of Lady Lanting?¡± ¡°Exactly.¡± Who is Lady Lanting? She was an internationally famous figureing from S Country. Now in the United Nations, she held the military and political lifeblood of many countries. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the little woman has such a background. Does she know about this?¡± ¡°She was lost when young, naturally she doesn''t know. I haven''t mentioned this matter with Lady Lanting for the time being.¡± ¡°Why not?¡± ¡°First you must marry her and officially make her a member of our family. Otherwise, once her true family background is revealed, all men may be your rivals, including Bai Yeqing.¡± Yu Zenan snorted disapprovingly, ¡°Vice-president Yu, youck too much confidence in your brother, don''t you? With my charm, it''s not a big deal to get her even the whole S Country would be my rivals, including Bai Yeqing." ¡°Stop bragging! Go to y by yourself, I have a lot of things to do.¡± ¡°Well, then I won¡¯t bother you. However, don¡¯t forget my request.¡± Yu Zenan enjoined again. If the little woman knew that she regained her lost job, she must be happy, right? Once Yu Zenan thought of the appointment with her ten dayster, he would cheer up. And for the following days, he almost counted his fingers and lived. ¡­ ¡­ The Foreign Ministry never expected to have two important calls in one day. Moreover, both calls were about Xia Xingchen.
The Foreign Ministry
One call from the president required another chance of assessment for her; the other from the vice-president required her to go directly to the Foreign Ministry without taking the assessment. The person in charge of the personnel department was shocked and checked the profile of Xia Xingchen again and again. He wondered what kind of special woman she was that both the president and the vice-president took up her matter. However, after looking up and down, he only found that she was simply a bit prettier than ordinary people. Here in the presidential residence. Xia Xingchen just returned and packed up the things in her hand, then she received a phone call from the head of the Foreign Ministry personnel department, which ttered her. ¡°You mean¡­ I can go back to take the assessment now?¡± ¡°Yes, Miss Xia. However, if you don¡¯t want to take it, we can also hire you directly.¡± Whether or not to take the assessment was no longer important. Anyway, no matter what the result of the assessment was, in the end, it was just a word, pass! Two most powerful people had called the Foreign Ministry ¨C who dared to get her eliminated? No one would like to seek their own demise. ¡°No, of course I will take the assessment. However, I would like to ask ¨C I did not take the assessmentst time, so I have been disqualified. Why can I retake the assessment now?¡± "You don''t have to ask why, as we just received a notice from a higher level.¡± Notice from a higher level? Would it be Bai Yeqing? Xia Xingchen guessed. He¡­ He really called the Foreign Ministry for such a trifle? However, even if he really did, he just wanted to make up for causing trouble for her! Xia Xingchen thought of his indifferent words that day, her heart feeling empty. She couldn¡¯t figure out exactly why at the moment. ¡­¡­ At night. After putting Xia Dabai to bed in his own room, Xia Xingchen took a bath and leaned on the pillow in bed, reading a book. She was going to attend the official assessment tomorrow. Since he gave her this opportunity, she must grasp it. She didn''t want to be looked down upon by Bai Yeqing. But¡­ It was already 9 o¡¯clock in the evening, he hadn¡¯t returned yet. Today, he stood in front of the media for two hours. Could he bear that with all his wounds? During those two hours, Xia Xingchen had never left the TV for a moment, watching the live broadcast from beginning to end. She had her heart in throat as if it would jump out of her chest in the next second. At the end of the live broadcast, she finally calmed down. Wouldn''t he return to the presidential residence tonight? When Xia Xingchen was thinking about that, a few beams of light shone through the windows. She got up immediately and walked barefoot to the window. As she expected, a fleet of his cars entered the residence. Xia Xingchen hurried out of her room and made her way to the stairs in just a few steps. She went down the stairs and met Bai Yeqing followed by his followers including Leng Fei half her way. Maybe because they had a tacit understanding of each other, or it was just a coincidence, Bai Yeqing raised his head slightly, looking into her worried eyes. ¡°Miss Xia, it¡¯s quitete now. Haven¡¯t you gone to bed yet?¡± Leng Fei greeted her first. She just found that she had been so nervous that she ran out without shoes. Would he think she was ridiculous? Or would he feel very burdensome? He was still staring at her, making her feel a little ufortable. Finally, she just smiled at Leng Fei and found an excuse for herself, ¡°I''m just reading, but suddenly feel thirsty and want to have a ss of water. I don¡¯t expect to meet you.¡± ¡°Let servants get you some water.¡± To her surprise, Bai Yeqing answered her indifferently. He ordered a servant, ¡°Serve Miss Xia some water.¡± "Yes, Mr. President." The servant hurried to the kitchen. Now Xia Xingchen had no reason to stay here. She said thanks awkwardly, then turned around and walked upstairs. Compared to her hurried footsteps before, now she walked much slower. Leng Fei and other followers didn''t stay long in the presidential residence, they left after a short while. Feeling tired, Bai Yeqing waved all the servants away and sat alone in the hall. No one else was there, his face showing an expression of pain on top of tiredness. Sweet Bun ¨C Chapter 34 part1 Obviously, Bai Yeqing was tired. After he dismissed all servants and sat alone in the hall, his face finally showed a trace of pain apart from fatigue. Xia Xingchen looked down at him from upstairs, feeling disheartened. After careful consideration, she finally walked downstairs silently and turned into the kitchen. ¡­ ¡­ "Have some water." A gentle voice came into his ears, then he slowly opened his eyes while leaning back on the sofa. Her innocent small face reflected on his eyes. She put a cup of hot water in his hands. The warmth suddenly spread from the palm to the depths of his heart. "Have you taken medicine today?" asked Xia Xingchen. ¡°Yeah. Doctor Fu has also checked my wound.¡± ¡°You¡­ are you alright?¡± She looked down at his injured part. Bai Yeqing slightly nodded as a response. He took a sip of water. Xia Xingchen thought for a while and said, ¡°I have been waiting for you toe back and want to express my thanks.¡± Bai Yeqing looked at her from the bottom up, ¡°For what?¡± Xia Xingchen was just about to speak, but the phone in her dressing-gown pocket rang. She took it out and looked at it with surprise. It turned out to be Yu Zenan. ¡°I need to answer the phone first.¡± After saying that, she turned back and put the phone to her ear. ¡°Why do you call me sote today?¡± ¡°I can¡¯t sleep, I miss you.¡± Yu Zenan was still so sloppy. Xia Xingchen felt funny, ¡°Stop kidding me.¡± ¡°I guess, you must be very happy now. So, you can¡¯t sleep either at this moment.¡± ¡°How do you know that I''m happy?¡± ¡°I not only know that you are very happy but also know the reason.¡± ¡°Really? Then go ahead, tell me why I am so happy.¡± Xia Xingchen didn''t believe that he was a know-all. ¡°You''ve got that job, right?¡± Yu Zenan said with a smirk, ¡°I knew it¡­ You are so professional that the Foreign Ministry will definitely hire you sooner orter.¡± Xia Xingchen had been in a blur for a few seconds. "How did you know that?" Yu Zenan chuckled, ¡°What do you think? I don''t think you are a fool who can''t figure it out.¡± ¡°So, the reason why I can go back to the Foreign Ministry is you¡­¡± "Mhm," Yu Zenan didn''t give a straight answer. Xia Xingchen now realized what had happened. She nced sideways at Bai Yeqing. So¡­ Did she tter herself again? She should know that¡­ it was impossible for him to y favoritism andmit irregrities. She was disappointed somehow. But fortunately, she had not told Bai Yeqing why she wanted to thank him. Otherwise, he would consider her stupid for she ttered herself. She gave a wry smile, and after a while, she remembered something important. She recovered from her disappointment, asking, ¡°Who are you on earth? How can you be able to handle these things?¡± ¡°Miss Xia, shouldn¡¯t you treat me to dinner at my convenience to express your thanks?¡± ¡°Of course I will express my gratitude. However, since you are the man I''m in date with, I have to know your real identity in case you kidnap me next time I''m out with you." Said Xia Xingchen. She focused her attention entirely on Yu Zenan without noticing that Bai Yeqing gave her a cold stare after hearing "the man I''m in date with". It seemed that Xia Xingchen quite enjoyed the blind datest time. So, would they fall in love with each other? Or did she really intend to marry Yu Zenan? Bai Yeqing tightened his hold on the cup. Sweet Bun ¨C Chapter 34 part2 ¡°Hahaha.¡± Yu Zenanughed brightly, ¡°well, we are going to meet in a few days, right? When we meet, I will tell you, OK?¡± "My grandma said, you are an ordinary divorced middle school teacher." "Your grandmother is getting old, so it''s normal for her to mix up things sometimes. However, I have to state that I''m still a virgin, and the divorce isplete nonsense." Xia Xingchenughed, ¡°Don''t lie to me. I don''t believe that.¡± ¡°Alright, it''s gettingte, you have something to deal with tomorrow, so I won''t bother you now. After eight days we meet at Gomes Golf Course, or you give me your address, I will pick you up. Let''s meet early, so we can have breakfast together.¡± "Gomes Course?" Xia Xingchen thought for a while, "Got it, then I will see you eight dayster." ¡°Mhm, good night!¡± ¡°Good night!¡± After saying that, Xia Xingchen hung up, still thinking about Yu Zenan''s real identity. A middle school teacher? A divorced man? The information given by her grandmother was too unreliable. He was obviously a cynical young master! When thinking about it, a rustling came behind her. She then came to herself and turned her head, seeing Bai Yeqing stood up from the sofa. He looked very serious with his face muscle tightened. He put down the cup heavily on the tea table in front of him, making a loud noise which sounded especially sharp in such a quiet night. Xia Xingchen was shocked and looked at him quizzically. He plodded upstairs, while his back looked stiff and indifferent. It seemed that his whole body was covered with ayer of ice. She frowned slightly because of confusion. Did she offend him? Why did his face be so hard? Xia Xingchen dared not ask, because his moods had always been changeable. She silently followed him upstairs. She carefully slowed down to walk behind him. However, from his back, she could know that he had been badly injured. He trod more and more heavily as ascending the steps. Xia Xingchen stopped at the doorway of her room. ncing at his back, she hesitated but said nothing, and then she opened the door. "Xia Xingchen!" Bai Yeqing suddenly turned around and called her name. He said through clenched teeth as if he was biting her. His heavy gaze fell on her. This time, she was surer that she had offended him. She subconsciously stood up straight and looked up at him with confusion, ¡°What happened?¡± She was only one step from him. His gloomy gaze made her feel heavy pressure. "How could you have such bad taste in men?" He asked. ¡°Ah? What?¡± she waspletely confused. Bai Yeqing strode towards her and they were even closer now. He was tall enough to throw her into dense shadow under lights. Before Xia Xingchen had realized, Bai Yeqing held her chin up. Their eyes met ¨C he had a distant look in his eye. ¡°You fell in love with an ordinary divorced middle school teacher? Are you so thirsty for men that you hook up with one casually?¡± Thirsty¡­ Casually¡­ His voice was heavy with sarcasm, which was like a sword stabbing into her eardrums and heart. Sweet Bun ¨C Chapter 35 Sweet Bun ¨C His voice was heavy with sarcasm, which was like a sword stabbing into her eardrums and heart. She looked up at the man in front of her, ¡°Then from Mr. President''s point of view, I should date with what kind of man to show that I''m not a thirsty and easy woman?¡± She gave a weak smile. Her bleak face made him feel depressed. ¡°Do you know what my grandmother told me before I went for a blind date? She said I was not entitled to be picky about men. As long as a man, even if he is a divorced man, wants to marry me, I should be deeply grateful to him. Do you know why?¡± Bai Yeqing kept silent. He clenched his teeth, waiting for her to continue. She took a deep breath. The smile on her face was a real eye-sore to him. ¡°I got pregnant at 18 before marriage; my child¡¯s father is unknown; I am the stain of the whole Xia family¡­ So, if I don¡¯t date a divorced ordinary teacher, what kind of man should I look for? Do you think I can date a giant among men under my current situation?¡± After she finished her words, Bai Yeqing looked deeply into her eyes. He kept silent for a long time, only to feel that he couldn''tmand his voice and could hardly breathe. He didn¡¯t actually think about how much influence it had on her life. Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t say anything and didn¡¯t want to say anything more. She pushed the door of the bedroom and was about to enter. However, she had just taken a step before he suddenly held her wrist. She was stunned. She turned back while he leaned over to put his face close to her. Her heart skipped a beat suddenly, her hand clenching the doorknob behind her back. ¡°Xia Xingchen, listen! Don¡¯t throw your life away!¡± Bai Yeqing said in an overbearing attitude. Xia Xingchen could feel his breath with a strong aggressiveness. ¡°You must be as far away as possible from a man who is divorced and has children! If you date this kind of men, I''ll punish you! And, I always have a way to keep you from being together!¡± Xia Xingchen blinked. Was this man too bossy? ! Moreover, why¡­why he did not allow her to date others? Even Dabai had noints! She was about to say something, but the man just nced at her and then left. He directly entered his room and mmed the door. Xia Xingchen was quite confused. What''s wrong with him? ¡­¡­ The next day. In the morning. While Dabai and Bai Yeqing were in the dining hall, Xia Xingchen was still upstairs. Xia Dabai took a bite of the cake and asked, ¡°Dad, you disappeared together with Xia Dabao and you two came back at the same time¡­ Are you secretly dating?¡± The little guy was clever. Bai Yeqing nced at him, ¡°Do you encourage her to have a blind date?¡± "Yeah." Xia Dabai nodded, "At first, I wanted to marry Dabao. However, Dabao said that I am too young. Dad, you match Dabao very much, but you are not willing to marry her. Then I had to encourage Dabao to go on a blind date." Bai Yeqing put down the spoon and looked at his son sitting across the children¡¯s chair. He asked casually, ¡°I told you I''ll teach you to assemble the gunsst time, do you want to learn?¡± ¡°Yeah, of course!¡± Said the little guy, both of his eyes full of brilliance, ¡°when will you teach me? You shouldn''t fool me again this time, otherwise, I will be angry!¡± Saying that, he pursed his lips and crossed his white and tender arms on chest. ¡°When she goes downstairs, you tell her that you don¡¯t want her to go on a blind date anymore. When the words are finished, I''ll ask someone to teach you.¡± ¡°Why?¡± The little guy twitched his mouth, ¡°Little Bai, is this what you want to say? You don¡¯t want Dabao to go on a blind date?¡± "¡­No." "Then why do you ask me to say that?" ¡°You don¡¯t want to learn?¡± Bai Yeqing raised his eyebrows. "Of course I want!" "Then just say what I told you, and ask no more questions!" Humph! This was definitely a threat! Xia Dabai was dissatisfied. He thought about it in his small head, and he had no idea but to measure it again and again. He wanted to learn to assemble guns, but he also wanted Dabao to find her Mr. Right! Bai Yeqing nced at him, sipped coffee, and continued, ¡°Think about it, there is only one chance. You still have about a minute!¡± ¡­¡­ A minuteter, Xia Xingchen came down. ¡°Dabao,e and have breakfast.¡± Xia Dabai kindly added some foods to Xia Xingchen''s te. "Thank you baby." Xia Xingchen kissed her son''s face. ¡°Dabao,st time you went to a blind date, does the uncle still have contact with you?¡± ¡°Mhm, yes.¡± ¡°So¡­ do you like that uncle?¡± After Xia Dabai asked this question, Xia Xingchen stunned a moment and subconsciously looked at Bai Yeqing who was eating breakfast. He didn¡¯t look at her, just focused on his breakfast. It seemed that he was not interested in the answer to Xia Dabai''s question at all. She looked back at the child and answered honestly, ¡°I like him very much. He helped me a lot. I will go to thank him in a few days. Would you like to go with me?¡± Bai Yeqing''s face was iced. Xia Dabai nodded happily, ¡°Yes yes, I can check whether he is your good match¡­¡± Bai Yeqing cast a nce at the butler and ordered, "Butler, you go out and talk to Leng Fei, tell him that the young master is too young to learn to assemble guns¡­" ¡°No no no! Dabao, I prefer not to go with you!¡± Xia Dabai straightened his back and said in a loud voice to stop someone¡¯s order. ¡°Huh?¡± Xia Xingchen felt very strange about his attitude reversal. Just now he seemed very interested in it. ¡°Uh-huh, I''m not going with you, I''m very busy. There are so many things to learn.¡± ¡°Okay, that¡¯s up to you.¡± ¡°Well¡­ Dabao.¡± Under the temptation of someone, Xia Dabai finally betrayed his moral integrity. His two big eyes focused at Xia Xingchen with a grievance, ¡°Dabao, could you please stop dating afterward?¡± Xia Xingchen stunned again. What happened to this child today? ¡°Is it not you who advised me to go to a blind datest time?¡± ¡°Thest time was thest time, this time is this time.¡± Xia Dabai took her arm and behaved in a spoiled manner, pretending to be pitiful, ¡°If you really get married to another man, you will have a family with him. Later, if you and have a baby and want to abandon me, what can I do?" Xia Xingchen''s heart skipped a beat and hurt badly. Bai Yeqing also frowned. ¡°Even if I will marry someer and have a baby with him one day, you are still my favorite Dabai. How could I abandon you?¡± Xia Xingchen smiled, deliberately messing up the child¡¯s hair. Xia Dabai looked up at her and looked at his father who looked even worse, ¡°Then you don¡¯t want Dad, do you?¡± Sweet Bun ¨C Chapter 36 Xia Dabai looked up at her and looked at his father who looked even worse, ¡°Then you don¡¯t want Dad, do you?¡± He? Read the original trantion in Wang Mama Read. Xia Xingchen stunned and didn¡¯t look at him, but she could feel his eyes falling on herself. ¡°Stop asking, eat your breakfast.¡± Xia Xingchen changed the topic. She really didn''t know how to answer this question. In fact, he had nothing to do with her. How could she decide to abandon him or not? Xia Dabai supported his head with the chopsticks under his jaw, seriously thinking over, ¡°Anyway, Dad is unwilling to marry you, and he won''t care about your opinion either. After you get married to another uncle, it''s right to abandon daddy.¡± ¡°¡­¡± On the opposite, someone¡¯s face got much colder. He shot a nce at his son, then Xia Dabai took two cheesecakes to hide his two big round eyes and thought: you cannot see me! Cannot see me! Just cannot see me! Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t understand the interaction between the father and son, and only felt that they both looked very strange. ¡°Come out with me!¡± Someone put down the chopsticks in his hand, curled up his fingers and knocked on the table. ¡°A~¡± Xia Dabai''s face looked bitter. He held the clothes of Xia Xingchen and didn''t move. Little Bai''s look is kind of terrible, will he beat me? Ohhhh, he didn''t want to be beaten by Little Bai! Bai Yeqing turned back and saw that his son didn''t keep up, instead, Dabai was shrinking with fear in Xia Xingchen¡¯s arms. Then he showed his rare tenderness as a father, ¡°I''m sending you to school.¡± However, his look made Xia Dabai be more horrified. Then, sure enough, he ordered in a deep voice, ¡°Butler, pick him up and go!¡± ¡°Dabao! Dabao! I don¡¯t want him to send me!¡± Being picked up by the butler, Dabai was still struggling. His white and tender face wrinkled into a small steamed bun.
Small steamed buns
Xia Xingchen felt funny, ¡°Okay, just go with him. If you continue to hold us here, everyone will bete.¡± ¡­¡­ Xia Dabai felt that he was actually kidnapped by evil forces! The car was moving forward smoothly on the street. Xia Dabai sat in the car with his cheeks puffed. On the opposite, Bai Yeqing ovepped his legs and stared at his son with deep eyes. ¡°Do you know what you did wrong?¡± Xia Dabai shook his little head violently, ¡°What did I do wrong?¡± "What did I ask you to say? And what did you say?" "You told me not to let Dabao go on a blind date, and I''ve said it!¡± He was innocent. "But I didn¡¯t¡­" Bai Yeqing paused, and his expression was somewhat embarrassing. He nced at the naughty child, coughed and untied the button on the chest of his suit before he became normal again. Then he continued, "But I didn''t ask you to say other words!" "Oh, Dad, do you mean I said Dabao doesn''t want you?" He snorted and didn''t say any word. Xia Dabai grinned and held his head awry like a little adult. "Little Bai, you like Xia Dabao, aren''t you?" Bai Yeqing pursed his lips, "Nonsense." "Well, you don¡¯t like her. Anyway, many men take fancy of Dabao. I''ll call anyone Dad if I''m happy." Said the little guy, shaking his legs happily. Bai Yeqing was irritated, ¡°About assembling the guns, no way!¡± ¡°Well.¡± Xia Dabai didn¡¯t get annoyed but took off her big bag which was like a dynamite bag. Then he took out a lollipop, and put it in his mouth, "Then I''ll tell Dabao that Little Bai, you told me to ask Dabao not to go on a blind date. A few dayster, she is going to meet the uncle she had a blind date with before, and I''ll also meet him. If he matches Dabao, I''ll call him Dad directly.¡± "¡­" Bai Yeqing was speechless, and his face was dark as if it was covered with coal. This naughty boy, who did he inherit the genes from? ¡­¡­ Xia Xingchen took a taxi to the Foreign Ministry. When she entered the Trantion Department, all people looked at her with aplex expression, admiring or despising. She couldn¡¯t stand this kind of expression. She used to be an intern in the Foreign Ministry, and she only focused on her own tasks. No one paid attention to her. Of course, she knew why they looked at her in this way. Chi Weiyang took her to the lounge. "Xingchen, how capable you are! Yesterday I heard that the Foreign Ministry would give you another chance. I can¡¯t believe it. I didn¡¯t expect it to be true! Hurry, tell me, what''s going on?¡± Xia Xingchen herself was also confused, ¡°In fact, I don¡¯t know much about the specific situation.¡± ¡°Cut it out! Yesterday I overheard the head of the Ministry of Personnel saying that you have a good rtionship with the president. The president personally transferred you back.¡± These words werepletely wrong. First, she was on bad terms with Bai Yeqing; second, he would not dispatch such a notice to the Ministry of Personnel for her. ¡°Do you believe that?¡± Xia Xingchen did not answer but asked. ¡°I didn¡¯t believe it before. But seeing youe now, I believe it.¡± Chi Weiyang took her arm, ¡°you are so beautiful ¨C it¡¯s not impossible for Mr. President to fall in love with you!¡± ¡°Stop. You are speaking too loud. If someone else hears that, they will burst intoughter!¡± Xia Xingchen covered Chi Weiyang¡¯s mouth with her hands. But Xiao Xin, who came in with a cup in hand, had heard that. She chuckled, ¡°Xingchen, in fact, you do have a clear estimation of yourself.¡± ¡°Hey! What do you mean?¡± Chi Weiyang red at her. ¡°Just the literal meaning. How dare you have this fantasy of Mr. President?¡± ¡°Wow, we can¡¯t daydream about that? Do you think you can? Even if Xingchen is not good enough, she can go back to the Foreign Ministry as long as she wants. Can you? Xingchen, introduce Mr. President to me some other day please.¡± Xia Xingchen replied, ¡°He has always been busy. The chance to see him is¡­¡± Xia Xingchen suddenly stopped. Read the original trantion in Wang Mama Read. She just blurted out the words in response to Chi Weiyang. Before she finished her words, she realized that she had blown the secret. Chi Weiyang knew her well, so she steadily stared at her. Fortunately, Xiao Xin only thought that Xia Xingchen was bragging. She sniffed, ¡°Keep going, why do you stop? People all over the country know that Mr. President is busy. You are telling me!¡± Chi Weiyang had a fierce temper. When she wanted to reply, Xia Xingchen stopped her. ¡°Forget it, Weiyang. There''s no point arguing about that, it''s a waste of time.¡± Then she looked down at her watch, ¡°It''s time to attend the assessment. I have to go. Wait for my good news!¡± ¡°Okay, you can do it!¡± Chi Weiyang cheered her up. She narrowed her eyes and added, ¡°Exin everything to me after youe back.¡± Xia Xingchen knew that she couldn¡¯t keep the thing from Weiyang then. However, it didn''t matter that she told Weiyang all about that! Weiyang would definitely keep her secret. Sweet Bun ¨C Chapter 37 Please support the original trantion in WANGMAMA read. Xia Xingchen passed the assessment sessfully. The interviewer announced on the spot that she was hired. ¡°Miss Xia, I¡¯d appreciate your kind consideration in the future.¡± The head of the Ministry of Personnel personally shook hands with her with respect. Xia Xingchen felt ttered. She guessed it was for Yu Zenan¡¯s sake. Now she was even more curious about Yu Zenan¡¯s identity. Was he also a senior official? She took the contract and went out. Chi Weiyang was waiting for her there. Xia Xingchen proudly showed her the contract. Chi Weiyang excitedly hugged her, ¡°You have to treat me! This is such good news!¡± ¡°No problem,¡± Xia Xingchen agreed immediately. ¡°However, before that, you have to exin all the things to me,¡± Chi Weiyang had been thinking about what she had said. Xia Xingchen nced at peopleing and going on the corridor. The more people, the more eyes. So she carefully pulled Chi Weiyang to the terrace on the top floor. In this season, they felt a little cool when the wind blew. Xia Xingchen whispered everything in Chi Weiyang''s ears. Thetter was so shocked that she kept her mouth wide open. ¡°Xingchen, Xingchen, pinch me!¡± Chi Weiyang said, ¡°pinch me! Am I in a dream?¡± Xia Xingchen was amused by her. She pinched Weiyang on her face. Chi Weiyang cried out. She was happy as ark, "I''m not dreaming! My son-in-custom is actually the president''s son? God, it''s incredible. I''m so lucky that I im ties of kinship with the president''s wife!" ¡°Stop. Your words are going too far!¡± Xia Xingchen held Chi Weiyang''s arms and pushed her voice down, ¡°president''s wife? My rtionship with him is not like what you think.¡± ¡°Why not? You gave birth to a son for him! Shouldn''t he be responsible for that?¡± Xia Xingchen looked far ahead, lost in thought. Then she said, ¡°I don¡¯t need him to be responsible. If he loves or marries me for responsibility, I won¡¯t ept it. Besides¡­ he now has a good choice of his fianc¨¦e. " ¡°Who?¡± ¡°Vice-president Song. Do you know him?¡± ¡°Of course.¡± ¡°Vice-president''s daughter, Miss Song. They belong to the same ss.¡± Chi Weiyang nced at Xia Xingchen without words. Her excitement had calmed down a lot now. Mr. President was like a star that hung in the sky, and for people like them, he was far beyond reach. If someone really wanted to touch it, it must take tremendous efforts. Chi Weiyang said, ¡°Xingchen, if you don¡¯t want to be too upset in the future, then don¡¯t be tempted by him.¡± Xia Xingchen smiled, "Rest assured, I know that." ¡°It wouldn''t be better.¡± Chi Weiyang patted her on the shoulder. ¡­¡­ In the evening. In the presidential office, Fu Yichen secretly came and change a fresh dressing for his wound. ¡°You''ve recovered quite well. It seems that Miss Xia is a panacea.¡± Bai Yeqing nced at him, "It has nothing to do with her!" Mentioning that woman, he remembered her blind date. He frowned. "How could it have nothing to do with her? She is your painkiller medicine," said Fu Yichen meaningfully, "your pain-relieving method has really broadened my horizons.¡± Leng Fei, who was next to them, didn¡¯t know the painkiller thing. He asked, ¡°Is there a pain-relieving method that Doctor Fu you don¡¯t know?¡± ¡°Kissing painkiller, have you seen it?¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± Shouted Bai Yeqing coldly, ¡°if you say one more word, get out of here.¡± ¡°Okay, bandaging is finished.¡± Fu Yichen smiled and didn''t continue. The ridicule was enough. Leng Fei asked, ¡°It¡¯s toote now, will you rest in the presidential office?¡± Bai Yeqing thought for a moment, ¡°No, go home.¡± Find the original trantion in W a n g m a m a r e a d. "¡­" Leng Fei nodded. Mr. President had changed. He came back to the presidential residence no more than once a month before. He was too busy, and he usually rested in the presidential office. But now he went back to the presidential residence more and more frequently. Was that because he got a son in the presidential residence or because there was another woman? ¡­¡­ Xia Xingchen was carrying her clothes to the disinfection room ¨C although the servants would help her, she still tried to do it herself. Sooner orter, she would move out of this house, so she couldn¡¯t let herself adapt and get used to everything here. Out of the room, when she saw the situation downstairs, she understood that the president wasing back. Xia Xingchen thought about it but didn¡¯t stop. She directly went to the disinfection room. ¡°Mr. President!¡± The tall man stepped in and the servant greeted him with respect. Someone had stepped forward and took the suit he handed over. "Have you dined?" Asked the butler. "Not yet." "The kitchen has prepared meals for you, pleasee to the dining room and wait a while." ¡°What are they?¡± Butler reported the menu, as he listened, his eyebrows wrinkled slightly. Too rich, but he had no appetite. ¡°Xia Xingchen!¡± When Xia Xingchen was about to enter her room, she was stopped by his calling. She was stunned. And looked down at him downstairs. ¡°I am hungry and want to eat dumplings.¡± ‡å. So, Mr. President wanted her cook for him? "His Excellency wants to eat dumplings, hurry to prepare," Butler instructed. Bai Yeqing stopped those servants waving his hand, he just stared at Xia Xingchen, ¡°Go downstairs.¡± ¡­ ¡­ Xia Xingchen felt that she was indeed charmed. She could have refused him, whether he was hungry or not had nothing to do with her after all. Moreover, she also reminded herself early to keep a distance from the man. However, when she was about to refuse, she bit her tongue. For a long time, there was only one sentence lingering in her mind, ¡®I am hungry¡¯. Sounded poor, making him like an abandoned child. Alright! He skipped the meal just for dealing with state affairs. The recent case about the explosion of White Feather Pce needed to be handled masterly to appease the people, then it would take a lot of efforts to investigate. Fortunately, he did a very good job. Xia Xingchen sighed and handed the clothes to the servant who came over and walked downstairs. She walked directly to the kitchen and Bai Yeqing went upstairs to bathe. They passed by each other and he didn¡¯t look at her more. In the past few days, he had been neither passionate nor indifferent to her but gave no easy look. Xia Xingchen was used to it. She took the dumplings out of the refrigerator, then the servant came in and asked her if she wanted any help. She shook her head and refused. The servant said, ¡°I really don¡¯t know when Mr. President likes to eat these foods. He used to be very picky and will never touch those frozen foods.¡± "Maybe out of impulse." The maid nodded, then took the pen to write down Mr. President¡¯s preferences carefully. It seemed that the dumplings would be often prepared in the refrigerator. After a while, Xia Xingchen cooked dumplings and Mr. President came down. When she carried dumplings to the dining room, he was sitting there and reading something she could not understand, it seemed to be a document in Arabic. Sweet Bun ¨C Chapter 38 When she carried dumplings to the dining room, he was sitting there and reading something she could not understand, which seemed to be a document in Arabic. He had just showered, so his chestnut hair was still a little wet. He wore a pair of white pajamas which hid his wounds. However, he was pure and sexy after bathing. He looked so innocent. Xia Xingchen walked towards him, put the dumplings on the table and started making the sauce. She hesitated, but still reminded him, "You have notpletely recovered, so I made a light sauce. You have to put up with that." "Uh-huh," Bai Yeqing put the file in his hand down. Then he picked up the chopsticks and tasted the dumplings. He had only eaten dumplings a few times in his life, so it was still a fresh experience to him. Moreover, her cooking is wonderful, so he had a good appetite.
Seeing him eating with gusto without being picky, Xia Xingchen was relieved. ¡°Help yourself. I''m going upstairs.¡± Saying that, she was about to leave. Bai Yeqing nced at her, ¡°You don¡¯t have anything special to say to me?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± Xia Xingchen turned back. His sudden words made her somewhat puzzled. Bai Yeqing dipped dumplings in the sauce. His movement was so elegant. He looked up at her, ¡°You told me that you wanted to thank me for somethingst night, but you stopped talking then. What do you mean?¡± Xia Xingchen shook her head, ¡°Nothing.¡± He put down the chopsticks and said, ¡°Go on.¡± ¡°I returned to the Foreign Ministry.¡± He knew that earlier than anyone else. "So?" "So, I intend to express my thanks to friends who help me with that in a few days." Bai Yeqing raised his eyebrows. Expressing thanks by actions naturally was more attractive than words. His look suddenly became brighter. ¡°You are supposed to do that. But what are you going to do? When will you show your thanks?¡± ¡°A weekter. I want to treat, or, if conditions permit, I will cook dinner all myself. That can show my good faith better.¡± Bai Yeqing nodded in agreement, ¡°Well, that''s a good idea. A weekter is okay!¡± Xia Xingchen looked at him with a puzzled look, and she replied slowly, "OK." She was confused. He had been indifferent to her these days. Why did he talk to her about this in an uncharacteristic way today? And he even gave her advice. "Okay. Go upstairs to rest," Bai Yeqing let her go. She did not say anything and went upstairs with doubts. Downstairs, in the dining hall, Bai Yeqing felt that the dumplings tasted better. The dinner after seven days. Must be great. ¡­¡­ Seven dayster. It was the weekend. Yu Zenan called at 6 o¡¯clock in the morning and asked Xia Xingchen to go to the Gomes Course. And Xia Xingchen was busy in the kitchen early in the morning. Bai Yeqing changed clothes and went downstairs to the dining hall, while Xia Dabai had been sitting at the table like a gentleman waiting for two adults. "Where is Xia Xingchen?" Asked Bai Yeqing, who sat down andid the napkin on hisp elegantly. "Uncle butler said Dabao is in the kitchen." "Kitchen?" Bai Yeqing nced at the butler next to him and asked, "What was she busy with in the kitchen early in the morning?" "Miss Xia said that she would like to thank a benefactor tonight, so she is now preparing for the dinner. She got up very early at 6 o¡¯clock." "Oh?" Bai Yeqing raised his eyebrows and said, "Ask her to have breakfast. It''s just dinner. She doesn''t have to prepare so carefully." "Okay." The butler went to the kitchen himself. Xia Dabai looked at him, "Dad, are you in a good mood today?" "Not bad." He cut a piece of chicken breast and ced it on the te in front of Xia Dabai. Xia Dabai felt ttered. How good was his mood today? "Why are you so happy¡­" Xia Dabai turned his eyes and said, "Is Dabao preparing dinner for you?" "If not, who else?" The president felt very good about himself. Just as the father and son chatted, Xia Xingchen hurried out of the kitchen with small and big bags. "Dabao,e have breakfast." Xia Dabai said to her. "I''ll have breakfast with someone else. I''m going to bete." Xia Xingchen entered the dining hall and kissed his son¡¯s forehead. "Goodbye, stay home." Finishing these words, she didn''t look at the President sitting opposite and hurried away with bags. Looking at her back, Xia Dabai screamed, "Dabao must have gone for a date. Little Bai, have you found that she is specially dressed today!" Even if the little boy didn''t mention that, Bai Yeqing also noticed it. On such a cold day, she actually wore a skirt. Wouldn''t she catch a cold? Bai Yeqing suddenly remembered something, put down the tableware, and turned to the butler, "Ask Leng Feie in." "Yes, Your Excellency." After a while, Leng Fei hurried in from outside. "What''s the arrangement this morning originally?" "You''ve originally scheduled to y golf with Mr. Mann from Italy at the Gomes Course, but your wound¡­" Speaking of this, Leng Fei lowered his voice and took a look at Bai Yeqing''s chest. "No need to change the schedule, call Mr. Mann to meet at the course on time." ¡°But, your injury¡­¡± Leng Fei lowered his voice and bowed down to his ear, saying, ¡°And we haven''t had time to clear the field yet.¡± "No need to clear the field. We will meet in the Gomes. Just enhance the guards." "Yes." Mr. President''s attitude was firm, so Leng Fei couldn''t say one more word. He withdrew and informed others to do preparations hurriedly, and then asked someone to go to the Gomes Course to deploy security personnel. ¡­ ¡­ Xia Xingchen arrived at the Gomes Golf Course. When the staff heard her name, they immediately led her in. She handed the food to the staff for keeping. "Second young master is already waiting for you at the restaurant, pleasee with me." Second young master? Xia Xingchen was surer that her Grandma was really muddled. This ¡®second young master'', who was addressed by others respectfully, couldn''t be an ordinary middle school teacher. This restaurant was upscale and luxurious. There were not many people, so it was quiet. Yu Zenan was in a deep V pullover and camel trousers. Very simple dress, but especially young and eye-catching. He was sitting in the center of the restaurant. Although she had not been here, she had heard about the Gomes Course as she had been working in the Foreign Ministry so far. For this kind of ce, people with only money were not allowed toe in. Even a high official, like her father, was not qualified. Being here was a symbol of high-status. "Here!" Yu Zenan also found her. He put down the tableware in his hand and waved at her passionately. Xia Xingchen walked over slowly. A restaurant waiter had already pulled out the chair beside him for her, and she sat down ordingly. "Morning." "Long time no see. Today you look more beautiful thanst time." Yu Zenan praised. His hot gaze was fixed on Xia Xingchen. He was sizing her up and down, if someone else did this to her, she would find it particrly annoying, but his cynicalzy look simply didn''t piss her off. "Young master Yu, your mouth is so sweet early in the morning, just ate honey?" Chapter 39 Sweet Bun ¨C ¡°Young master Yu, your mouth is so sweet early in the morning, just ate honey?¡± ¡°How do you know? I just ate the honey and ejiao (donkey-hide gtin) zed jujube. What about you? What do you want to eat?¡± Yu Zenan took the menu from the waiter.
Honey and ejiao zed jujube
¡°Whatever, I am not picky.¡± Yu Zenan then ordered some dishes for her. Xia Xingchen stopped him and sighed, ¡°Too much, that''s too much!¡± ¡°Just so so, you are so thin, you should eat something good.¡± ¡°Look at the cubilose and Tricholoma matsutake you just ordered, they''re expensive.¡± ¡°Expensive?¡± Xia Xingchen bemoaned her wallet, ¡°My two-month sry may not be able to pay for the breakfast of second young master.¡± Looking at her stingy face, Yu Zenan couldn''t helpughing. ¡°Just these dishes have already distressed you, thenst time you said you would treat me, so you were kidding me?¡± ¡°I wasn''t, I have nned to cook for you.¡± Nothing could save more money than this way. "You can cook?" ¡°Of course, I am not a big young master like you, who don''t need to worry about food and clothing. But at night, I have to go to my friend to borrow her kitchen.¡± ¡°Then I will wait for the big meal.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just some homemade dishes, you cannot despise them.¡± ¡°I will give my reviews after eating.¡± Xia Xingchen snorted, then she remembered something important, "Well, you haven''t told me who you are. Why will the Foreign Ministry ept yourmand?" ¡°It''s not mymand actually. I just let my brother make a call.¡± ¡°Your brother? Who is your brother?¡± Yu Zenan took the wallet and threw it at her, then took a bite of pasta, mumbling, ¡°Do you know him?¡± Xia Xingchen opened the wallet and found a photo. There were two young men on the photo, one was him, the other was¡­ Quite familiar. She seemed to have seen him on TV. ¡°Is he¡­ the vice-president Yu Zeyao? Your brother is the vice-president?¡± He nodded. Xia Xingchen muttered to herself, ¡°No wonder that they are respectful to me and said that I have a connection with the president. It turns out to be the case.¡± ¡°I am more reliable than that middle school teacher, right?¡± He leaned his head over in front of her, smiling, ¡°virgin, single, unmarried, would you like me to be your boyfriend?¡± ¡°Stop kidding me.¡± Xia Xingchen pushed his head away, ¡°I haven¡¯t asked you yet, you are obviously not the person who I should''ve had a blind date with, what do you want?¡± "The man you should''ve had a blind date with is my friend. He and his ex-wife are firmly attached to each other now, and they n to remarriage. So he asked me to help him. However, you should be happy that you go on a blind date with me." "That''s right. Thanks to you, otherwise I would still be looking for other jobs." Moreover, the second young master was quite cute. Although he was not the person Xia Xingchen should go on a blind date with, it was good to make friends with him. "Alright, eat breakfast first. It''s worth your sry for a few months. Don¡¯t waste it." Yu Zenan caressed her hair. ¡­¡­ When they almost finished breakfast, the hasty and orderly footsteps came. Looking carefully, Xia Xingchen noticed a lot of people in ck who seemed to be well-trained standing on the outer gallery, everyone with a Bluetooth headset. "Your bodyguards?" Asked Xia Xingchen. Yu Zenan shook his head, "My brother has many bodyguards, but I haven''t heard that my brother ising here today." The waiter came over quickly and whispered a few words to Yu Zenan. Yu Zenan raised his eyebrows and murmured, "No wonder." When the waiter left, Yu Zenan wiped his mouth gently and whispered to Xia Xingchen, "The president wille soon." "Ah?" Xia Xingchen was surprised. "Forget it, let¡¯s go and y golf." Yu Zenan dragged her up. Xia Xingchen said, "But I don''t know how to y golf." "I''ll teach you." ¡­¡­ Taking the electromobile for a while, they reached the golf course and Xia Xingchen kept looking around. Would Bai Yeqinge? "Why are you absent-minded? What are you looking for?" Yu Zenan asked someone to fetch his special club and then gave it to Xia Xingchen. He held her face and forced her to look forward. "Look at the ball. There is no use to look back." "OK." Xia Xingchen though she should take the opportunity to pay her debt of gratitude. However, after swinging the club a few times but failing to hit the ball, Xia Xingchen got frustrated, but Yu Zenan kept gloating next to her, sipping his drink. "If you keepughing at me, I won''t y anymore." Said Xia Xingchen, ring at Yu Zenan. At this moment¡­¡­ The sound of the electromobile came from far. Xia Xingchen followed the sound and saw that more than a dozen electromobiles on which there were many bodyguards slowly came close. Yu Zenan also took a look at these electromobiles and then nced at Xia Xingchen. He walked towards Xia Xingchen, sipping his drink. With elbowszily on her shoulders, Yu Zenan said, "Haven¡¯t you seen the president?" ¡°Of course I have.¡± "You''ve met him?" "Oh," Xia Xingchen nodded, "I saw him in an event held by the Foreign Ministryst time." ¡°Well,¡± Yu Zenan pouted, sighing, ¡°he is only a little taller and more handsome than my brother. In the end, he became the president. I''m not convinced though.¡± ¡°Pfft¡­¡± Xia Xingchen refuted with disapproval, ¡°you are so shortsighted ¨C height and appearance are nothing important. If he has no merit whenpared with your brother, why will he win all citizens'' regard? Last month¡¯s state-owned enterprise reform, economic regtion two months ago, the international rivalry with M country three months ago, and¡­¡± Xia Xingchen became more proud as she was speaking as if she was very familiar with the president''s subject. ¡°Okay, stop,¡± Yu Zenan interrupted her, and he licked his ears. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that you admire him so much.¡± Admire? Xia Xingchen couldn¡¯t help but think of thest time when Bai Yeqing said that her love would make him feel burdened. Then she subconsciously rebutted, ¡°No, I don¡¯t.¡± ¡°Your expression betrayed your words!¡± Yu Zenan reached out and draw circles with fingers above her face, ¡°just admit it.¡± ¡°Come on!¡± She pushed away his hand. Yu Zenanughed, then he put down the drink. ¡°Forget about it. Let me teach you how to y golf.¡± ¡­¡­ Guarded by Leng Fei, Bai Yeqing got off the car first, followed by Mr. Mann and Xu Yan next to him. Xu Yan had just transferred to the presidential office. Led by the staff, they went to the teeing ground. Leng Fei was sharp-eyed ¨C he saw a familiar figure in front of him. ¡°Your Excellency, it seems to be Miss Xia.¡± Leng Fei lowered his voice and whispered in Bai Yeqing''s ear. Bai Yeqing looked at her from far away. She was really here. And she was apanied by a man. No! To be precise, they were not ying golf, but flirting with each other! The man put his arms around her from behind, his hands holding hers to wave the club. They apparently had a good time ¨C she had a big smile on her face. He just nced at them, then he turned somewhat angry. He moved his gaze away with his face devoid of expression and turned to talk to Mr. Mann. Aside, as the interpreter, Xu Yan also looked at the scene not far away, his mind wandering for a moment. He didn''t remember that he should concentrate on his work until Bai Yeqing¡¯s intent gaze fell on him. Then he forced himself to get his attention back.
Chapter 40 Sweet Bun ¨C Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t expect to meet him here. Moreover, they were only 20 meters away from each other. If she was not mistaken, Xu Yan was even next to him. Yu Zenan put arms around Xia Xingchen from behind, so his chest was close to her back. She had focused on learning golf, so she didn''t think there was any problem. However, now she somehow felt guilty. Especially when she identally met his cold eyes, her heart beat faster. ¡°Well¡­¡± Xia Xingchen spoke with hesitation, trying to pull her hand out of Yu Zenan¡¯s, ¡°would you like¡­ let¡¯s do something else instead of ying golf, okay?¡± As sharp-eyed as Yu Zenan, he lowered his head and nced at her, then he looked sideways at the president and others. He said with an unhappy expression, ¡°From the time he appeared, you have all your heart in him. How could you act this way? Am I so unmorous?¡± ¡°Nonsense. I didn''t have my heart in him!¡± "You didn''t?" Yu Zenan snorted, and then he mimicked her looking at Bai Yeqing, "you stared at him with your eager eyes for such a long time that your sight almost burned a hole in his body!" ¡°Who said that I was staring at him? I''m not!¡± Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t admit it. ¡°Then who were you looking at?¡± He raised his eyebrows, apparently not convinced. Xia Xingchen pouted her lips and lifted her chin, ¡°See? I just looked at the male interpreter standing by the foreigner.¡± "Are you lying to me?" ¡°He is my first love,¡± Xia Xingchen pushed the club forward and said with embarrassment, ¡°however, we had broken up many years ago. After a while, he will be my brother-inw.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Yu Zenan looked at her with sympathy, ¡°poor girl.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be gloating!¡± ¡°Hey! I think he seems to be very interested in you.¡± Yu Zenan seemed not to know how to stand properly; he just leaned against her shoulder. ¡°Look, he res at us as soon as I approach you.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen subconsciously took a look at Xu Yan. Their eyes met, which pulled her up short. Then she gave him a smile. That was strange. It hasn''t been a long time since theyst met, but¡­ now, the regret she had because of him had faded a lot. Instead¡­ Her gaze fell on someone else instinctively. He was sitting in the rest area upright and talking with Mr. Mann. Being respected and supported by the public, his innate arrogance and superiority could be felt far away. Seeming to realize someone was gazing at him, he suddenly turned his head and looked at her from afar. His eyes were cold and without emotions. Xia Xingchen''s heart was beating faster and she turned around. For a long time, her heartbeat was still irregr. "Do you want me to test him for you?" Asked Yu Zenan suddenly. "What?" She didn''t understand. Test who? Yu Zenan stretched his arm, put it on her waist and suddenly held her firmly. Feeling his male hormones, Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment. Realizing that she was being held in his arms, her face turned red immediately. "Hey, what are you doing?" "Don''t move!" Yu Zenan smiled, "Do you know what your first love''s expression is now?" "¡­" "He looked extremely miserable! But¡­ It''s quite strange. It seems the president is also unhappy!" Xia Xingchen bit her lower lip, blushed and pushed him away, "You are a rogue!" Yu Zenanughed, "I am here to help you. See, your first love still cares about you!" "Help me? I think you just want to take advantage of me!" Xia Xingchen angrily waving the club as if to hit him. She was afraid that Bai Yeqing would misunderstand her and Yu Zenan? But¡­ in fact, it has nothing to do with him! How would he, the busy president, pay attention to these trivial things? Yu Zenan eximed with exaggeration and ran away, "You are really in good shape." "Stop talking about it!" A flush mounted to Xia Xingchen''s face. Yu Zenan turned around and held her hand on the club. Looking at her being exasperated, he felt interesting and said, "Don''t be angry. Why not hug me instead? Actually, I''m also in good shape. Don''t you want to have a try?¡± He took her hand to touch his chest, smiling. Xia Xingchen was really mad. Shy and meanwhile annoyed, she beat his chest and said irritatedly, "I won''t hug you. I''m not as cheeky as you are.¡± "Ahahahaha~" ¡­¡­ Yu Zenan¡¯s hearty and pleasantughter prated 20 meters and came directly to someone''s ears. Leng Fei found that Mr. President¡¯s face took on an increasingly unhappier expression, especially after Mr. Mann went to y golf, he sat there, and the whole atmosphere seemed to freeze. ¡°Your Excellency, the man who stays with Miss Xia¡­ seems to be the younger brother of the vice-president Yu.¡± ¡°I know.¡± He had already recognized him. Although Yu Zenan had just returned from abroad, he could recognize him at a nce. ¡°Why do he and Miss Xia get so close? I suspect he knows Miss Xia¡¯s rtionship with you and deliberately approaches her.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Bai Yeqing was silent, his thin lips closed tight. He could clearly hear their joyful talking, but he never looked at their direction since then. Leng Fei waspletely confused about the meaning of His Excellency. ¡­ ¡­ After a long time, Xia Xingchen got tired and went to the restroom alone. When she passed Bai Yeqing, she could feel that Xu Yan¡¯s eyes had been following her. While Bai Yeqing¡­ Seemed to regard her as the air. Xia Xingchen ignored the inexplicable upset feeling in her heart and went to the restroom. After washing her hands, she came out of the restroom with her head lowering, and she bumped into a man''s burly chest. She was stunned. Looking up, she directly caught the deep eyes of Xu Yan. "Why are you here?" Xia Xingchen smiled and pointed to the light on the wall, "This isdy''s room." ¡°I am¡­ actually waiting for you.¡± ¡°Wait for me?¡± Xu Yan nodded and looked at her with an intricate expression, ¡°He is your boyfriend? Last time you were drunk, he took you away suddenly, right?¡± She could clearly observe his loneliness in his face. She felt bitter, after all, the first love was the purest. So, she subconsciously told a lie, nodding, "Yeah, I haven''t had the chance to introduce him to you officially." ¡°Oh¡­¡± His voice turned lower. He stared at her and remained silent for a long time. The atmosphere inexplicably became a bit embarrassing. Xia Xingchen broke the silence by smiling, ¡°If it¡¯s okay, then¡­ I will go out first.¡± While saying, she passed him sideways and was ready to go out. However, only one step away, her slender wrist was grabbed by him suddenly. Xia Xingchen was stunned at first, but when she came to herself, she subconsciously struggled. Xu Yan then put more strength on his hand that sping her wrist.
If convenient, please join our Discord server to have more fun~ Chapter 41 Sweet Bun ¨C Xia Xingchen was stunned at first, but when she came to herself, she subconsciously struggled. Xu Yan then put more strength on his hand that sping her wrist. "Xu Yan?" She gave him a look of confusion. Xu Yan turned around and his eyes were full of struggling, "Xingchen, don''t stay with him." "What?" "Do you know his identity? Having a high status, he must be arranged political marriage. Even if he really wants to marry you, you two would not have a promising future." Xu Yan paused and his eyes got bleak. Looking down at her, he continued, "I don''t want you to get hurt." Understanding that Xu Yan was caring about her, Xia Xingchen said, "You can rest assured as I clearly know it. You don''t have to worry about me." Saying that, she smiled and pulled her hand out of Xu Yan''s hand again. When her hand slipped from his palm, Xu Yan only felt empty. He suddenly hugged her. Xia Xingchen startled, with her chin on his shoulder. Xu Yan put his hot palm on her lower back gently and said, ¡°Xingchen, I miss you very much¡­¡± "¡­" ¡°I thought I''ll have no feelings for you after so many years¡­ but I am wrong¡­¡± "Xu Yan¡­" His voice was full of sorrow, making Xia Xingchen feel sad as well. ¡°When I saw you, I got crazy. After I went back, my mind was full of you. Xingchen, I was young and I didn''t know anything. Therefore, when something like that happened, I would subconsciously escape. But now things are different¡­" Xu Yan held her face and looked at her deeply, ¡°could you give me one more chance? I don¡¯t care about what happened before. Please forgive my immaturity at that time.¡± Xia Xingchen never thought that he would act this way. In fact, it was she who was wrong, but he apologized first. She shook her head, "I never me you. It''s just¡­ Xu Yan, don¡¯t think about the past anymore. Those things have passed. And¡­ you are now Xingkong¡¯s fianc¨¦. We can''t do that. You know?" She tried to take his hand off her face, but Xu Yan did not give up. He said depressedly, "I don¡¯t love Xingkong at all. I¡­ I actually regard her like you!" Xia Xingchen was dumbfounded. ¡°You may think that I''m so mean and shameless, but I just can¡¯t help myself¡­ Xingchen, I can¡¯t forget you! I understand now ¨C I have never forgotten you!¡± Xu Yan¡¯s confession waspletely beyond her expectations. She was shocked. After all, he used to be her most memorable man¡­ However¡­ ¡°Sorry, Xu Yan,¡± She bit her lip and refused, ¡°my thoughts are all confused ¨C I don¡¯t want to think about that.¡± Xia Xingchen could see the pain in Xu Yan''s eyes. He looked at her with disappointment, then suddenly he leaned forward to give her a kiss. Feeling the heat on her lips, she was shocked as her eyes widened. She subconsciously pushed Xu Yan away. However, upon her hand touched his chest, he stepped back like a gentleman and let go of her. ¡°Don¡¯t be angry.¡± Xu Yan looked at her with an expression of sadness on his face. Then he bitterly smiled, ¡°I just want to be closer to you than Yu Zenan is.¡± ¡­¡­ Xu Yan went away. Her mind went nk for a while. When she recovered from the shock and was about to go, she felt a cold gaze on her. She looked sideways at the figure, and she was surprised when she recognized who it was. Bai Yeqing leaned against a retro pcentern. In silence, he held a lighted cigarette between fingers. He looked more cold and arrogant in the cigarette smoke. Why was he here? And¡­ Had he heard or seen Xu Yan''s and the kiss just now? Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably guilty. Then she thought it was ridiculous. She had nothing to do with him, why should she feel guilty? ¡°Mr. President.¡± She greeted in a low voice without any other words and walked slowly away. She estranged from him as if he was just a stranger. He stubbed out the cigarette in the smoke-free area in an elegant and polite manner. When she passed by, he caught hold of her suddenly. He had her in a rather tight hold as if he was going to crumble her bones. Xia Xingchen was shocked. What happened today? Thest one was Xu Yan, now he followed on! Moreover, they were now pulling and pushing each other outside the bathroom, if someone saw them¡­ Without hesitation, Bai Yeqing dragged her into the male restroom. He was very strong and his strides were long. In high heels, Xia Xingchen could barely keep up with him by running. ¡°Hey! Here is the men¡¯s restroom, I don¡¯t want to go!¡± Xia Xingchen struggled. Bai Yeqing pulled her in and mmed the door directly. Without any expressions, he opened the white porcin faucet on the side, wetted the handkerchief taken out of the pocket of the suit, and rubbed her lips hard. His action was rude, showing no pity for her. Xia Xingchen only felt that her lips got hot by his rubbing. ¡°Hey, what are you doing?¡± Xia Xingchen wanted to push his hand away, and her good-looking eyebrows wrinkled, ¡°it hurts¡­¡± Bai Yeqing suddenly got irritated, throwing the silk handkerchief on the ss table. He pinched her chin with his long fingers and lifted it up indifferently, then his lips covered hers with enormous anger. This kiss was overbearing, violent, and full of aggression. Carrying the sense of punishment but no pity or love. Xia Xingchen was full of grievances. What had this man to do with her, why could he kiss her at will, and why could he punish her? She was angry and pushed him, ¡°Bai Yeqing, what are you doing?!¡± ¡°Whoever can kiss you and hug you at will, right? Why pretend to be restrained now?¡± His voice was dull, and the light in his pupils was darker. Each word sounded so ironic. Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t expect him to say like this. After all, she didn¡¯t know how she irritated him. This was simply a humiliation for her. ¡°I have rights to allow others to kiss or hug me, and I do also have the right to stop your harassment!¡± Xia Xingchen got stubborn and wore a long face, ¡°you let me go!¡± Harassment? Bai Yeqing'' pupils tinted a hue of cruelty, there was a trace of danger in his deep eyes, ¡°Do you know what harassment is?¡± Finishing, he didn''t wait for her reaction, and then her whole body had been pushed to the side of the ss table.
Join us to have fun!
Chapter 42 Finishing, he didn''t wait for her reaction, and then her whole body had been pushed to the side of the ss table. While the tall male body was approaching. Xia Xingchen''s mind went nk instantly. Such intimacy, such atmosphere, along with his aggressive eyes, made her nervous, uneasy and embarrassed. What on earth did he want to do? Before she could realize, her waist had been carried by him. She was surprised and tried to push him away. However, how could shepete with him depending on her strength? So she had no choice but stepped back, only to find that she had already leaned against the ss table. There was a fit of lingering anger in Bai Yeqing''s heart, and her refusal and dodge even irritated him further. He covered his thin and cold lips on hers, biting. Yes, he was biting her instead of kissing. He bit her lip as a humiliation. "Stop¡­" Xia Xingchen''s voice was trembling while evading his bite. She had tried her best but failed, then she turned her face away and randomly beat him with fists. The resistance and pleading in her eyes didn''t put off his anger, on the contrary, he got furious now. A powerful man like Bai Yeqing had already gotten used to controlling everything, he wouldn''t allow her to free from his conquest. He kissed deeper and deeper, while his hands were also busy. Xia Xingchen was greatly frightened, grabbing him in a flurry, "Don''t¡­" "Don''t what?" Bai Yeqing stared at her, his eyes looked subtle and unpredictable, "You just used me of the harassment right? I have received your charge, then why not make it true?" Xia Xingchen kept shaking her head. At this moment, someone wasing in from outside. Like finding a savor, she hurriedly spoke, "There is¡­ someoneing¡­ release me now¡­" Just finished, Leng Fei''s voiced came outside the door, "Second young master, could you please stay away temporarily?" Second young master? Could it be¡­ "Why? I cannot use the restroom now?" As expected, they heard the arrogant voice of Yu Zenaning from outside. "His Excellency is now in the restroom, please second young master go to another one." "What if I insist on going this one?" /p> ¡­ "Bai Yeqing¡­ Someone is out there¡­" Xia Xinghen warned in a low voice. She was afraid that Yu Zenan would break into this restroom. If he found her such embarrassing look, she''d rather die. "If he knows we are doing these inside, you guess¡­ will he still want you?" Bai Yeqing raised his head from her neck without any emotion. After this kiss, her skin turned pink as the sakura that bloomed in spring. She groaned and grasped her cor with indignation to block his eyes lingering over her chest. At the same time, she red at him. What a hateful man! ¡­ "Second young master, you¡¯d better go to the restroom next door, His Excellency doesn¡¯t like to be bothered." Outside, Leng Fei persuaded Yu patiently. While this second young master Yu, who had just returned from abroad, showed no fear to anyone. However, he still knew that he couldn¡¯t piss Bai Yeqing off, though he was ill-affected about his brother''s failure in the election. The loser was eventually the loser, he couldn¡¯t go against Bai in the public. He nced at the closed door, and finally walked away toward another restroom. But¡­ Why had Xia Xingchen gone to the restroom for so long? So weird! ¡­ Bai Yeqing didn¡¯t get her in the restroom. He just wanted to give her a lesson, though he had done too far when doing so. Well, the time and ce were not appropriate for him to break the finalyer. "Xia Xingchen, bear this in mind, this is harassment." Bai Yeqing stopped all of a sudden and moved away from her body. His eyes remained unpredictable, shining dim and obscure light. He cleaned himself up with leisure. After a short while, he returned to the noble and elegant president. Compared with him, Xia Xingchen was in a total mess. Under her dress, her legs were too weak to stand straight. She tried her best to hold herself up with hands on the ss table, nearly immersing her fingers in it. "Next time, you¡¯re at your own risk if you dare piss me off again!" Bai Yeqing took a meaningful look at her, then pulled the door and walk out with heavy steps. ¡­ The door was closed and he left, Xia Xingchen couldn¡¯t hold herself anymore, her weak body slowly slipped down the ss table. She could only felt that the cold walls wrapped herself, chilled her out to heart. Unconsciously, the tears of grievances brimmed her eyes, and her chest got very stuffy. What did she do wrong and how did she provoke him, making this guy bullied her so much? Five years ago, he made her give birth to a baby, and she did not even have the right to refuse. Five yearster, he broke into her life again, and she still had no power to fight against him. What was the fate that allowing them to get entangled until now? ¡­ Xia Xingchen managed to walk out, but she had no feeling of ying golf at all. She didn¡¯t know how to face Xu Yan, as well as that man who had plundered her like a beast. Yu Zenan listened to her unconditionally, so when she said she wanted to leave, he didn¡¯t even hesitate. He nodded to Bai Yeqing from far away as saying hello, then held her hand and walked toward the electromobile. Xia Xingchen kept looking down at the toes and didn¡¯t look up at the others. But she could feel a burning gaze behind her back. She did not know whether it came from Xu Yan or Bai Yeqing. ¡­ Bai Yeqing had been talking andughing with Mann. Even if Xia Xingchen and Yu Zenan passed by hand in hand, his expression remained unchanged. But¡­ When their figures disappearedpletely, he gave a nce in the direction of where they had gone, then his dark eyes became colder. ¡­ Xia Xingchen took the dish she brought out from the waiter ¨C they were some salted chicken legs. She nced at Yu Zenan, ¡°I originally wanted to invite you to dinner. Now it seems that it would be better for me to cook lunch for you.¡± ¡°You really want to cook?¡± ¡°Yep. I can¡¯t afford a meal for the young master.¡± Yu Zenanughed, and naturally took things away from her hands and patted the back side of her head, ¡°Little stingy!¡± Xia Xingchen borrowed the kitchen of Chi Weiyang. Knowing that she woulde, Chi Weiyang had already been waiting downstairs. When she saw Yu Zenan, who came with Xia Xingchen, her eyes were full of the light of gossiping. Chapter 43 Trantor: Sweet Bun Xia Xingchen borrowed the kitchen of Chi Weiyang. Knowing that she woulde, Chi Weiyang had already been waiting downstairs. When she saw Yu Zenan, who came with Xia Xingchen, her eyes were full of the light of gossiping. ¡°What is the rtionship between the two of you?¡± Chi Weiyang did not hold back and asked when they were busy in the kitchen. ¡°Friendship.¡± Xia Xingchen replied tly. ¡°If you are just friends, why do youe here especially to cook for him? Do I look that credulous?¡± ¡°Thanks to him, I go back to work.¡± ¡°He?¡± Chi Weiyang nced outside the kitchen. Yu Zenan was watching TV in the living room. He didn''t act as casual as in front of Xia Xingchen usually. Instead, he sat straight and looked quite elegant, which left Chi Weiyang with a good impression. ¡°Isn''t it the president who helped you go back to the Foreign Ministry?¡± When mentioning him, Xia Xingchen remembered what had just happened on the course, a touch ofplexity showed on her face. She shook her head and said indifferently, ¡°It has nothing to do with him.¡± ¡­ ¡­ More than six in the afternoon. Bai Yeqing asked Leng Fei declined the invitation to the activities of the Ministry of Finance at night and returned to the presidential residence early. ¡°Mr. President, do you want to have a meal now? The kitchen is ready.¡± Asked the butler. Bai Yeqing uncovered the shirt cuffs and looked at the watch, asking coldly, ¡°Where is Miss Xia?¡± ¡°Miss Xia hasn''te back yet.¡± He frowned, ¡°Then wait for a while.¡± ¡°OK.¡± The butler nodded. Xia Dabai came downstairs wearing a home dress and little furry slippers. He just nced at his Dad who was sitting on the sofa and reading the documents, he immediately noticed that Mr. President was in an extremely bad mood at this moment. ¡°Dad.¡± He carefully leaned over and sat cross-legged on the sofa. ¡°Sit well.¡± His eyes shifted toward Xia Dabai. "Oh." Dabai got stunned and quickly put his white and tender feet off the sofa and slid them back into the slippers. ¡°Little Bai, are you waiting for Dabao to cook for you?¡± ¡°¡­No!¡± He denied with a sullen face. "Really?" ¡°You are too chatty.¡± Said someone in a disliked tone. Xia Dabai frowned, ¡°If so, then don''t wait any longer. It¡¯s sote, Dabao must have forgotten to cook dinner for you.¡± Bai Yeqing¡¯s face became gloomier all of a sudden, and his sight paused on the documents. "Little Bai, let''s go to have dinner, okay?" Bai Yeqing realized that the little guy was hungry. He nodded and said, "Butler, serve the dishes!" As a result, while Xia Dabai was eating chicken legs alone in the restaurant, Bai Yeqing sat on the sofa and checked the time on the watch for the third time. The butler came over and asked him, "Mr. President, have dinner first?" "Leave me alone." "The kitchen has cooked soup for you, do you want to have a try?" ¡°No, I have no appetite.¡± He insisted on it, so the butler did not say anything and left silently. ¡­ ¡­ After a while. The phone rang. The servant quickly picked it up, then stepped into the restaurant and said, "Little master, Miss Xia wants you to answer the phone." Xia Xingchen''s phone call? Bai Yeqing squinted at the phone. Thinking for a while, he was about to pick it up. "Dad, Dabao wants me to answer the phone!" Xia Dabai just came out and ran to the phone. Bai Yeqing''s face turned pale and then he gave the phone to Xia Dabai reluctantly, "I just want to pass it to you." "Is it?" Xia Dabai was quite doubtful about it. Bai Yeqing didn¡¯t look at him and went upstairs with a gloomy face. ¡­ ¡­ "Dabao." "Have you taken a shower?" Xia Xingchen asked over there. "Yes, I''m smelly good now." When Xia Dabai said it, he lowered his small head and sniffed on his arm, "Dabao, why haven''t youe back yet?" "Mom will note back tonight." "Ah? Are you staying with the uncle you date in the morning?" "Of course not." Xia Xingchenughed, "Dabao is spending the night with your foster mother." "OK. Then you spend more time with my foster mother. But¡­" Xia Dabai thought of something, looked upstairs and said, "Dabao, if you don''te back tonight, what about Dad¡¯s dinner?" "What dinner?" Xia Xingchen was confused. "Didn''t you get up early to prepare dinner for Dad tonight? Dad has been waiting, and hasn¡¯t had dinner yet!" And it''s been over 7 o¡¯clock! Xia Xingchen got more confused, "I wasn''t preparing dinner for him?" "No? But, Dad said¡­" "The foods I prepared in the morning are for the uncle I¡¯m dating with today." Ah, he seemed topletely misunderstand. Poor Daddy~ He had been waiting for all day, but it turned out that¡­ he just ttered himself. When Xia Dabai felt sympathetic towards Little Bai, he heard a clicking noise in the phone. Xia Xingchen was confused. This was obviously the sound of putting down a phone. But she and Dabai were not cut off. Then it could only be¡­ ¡°Dabao, it seems¡­ Daddy just eavesdropped upstairs on our conversation.¡± "¡­" Xia Dabai felt love for his Daddy. He hung up and called, ¡°Uncle butler, uncle butler!¡± ¡°Why so anxious, little master? What happened?¡± ¡°Let the chef prepare a few dishes for Daddy. He will definitely not go downstairs again.¡± Being under the hallucination that Xia Xingchen prepared dinner for him just lost his face. As proud as Daddy, he would definitely not go down because of embarrassment. The butler didn¡¯t know the inside story, just nodding, ¡°Okay. I will prepare at once.¡± ¡­¡­ Hanging up the phone, Xia Xingchen on the bed together with Chi Weiyang. She couldn¡¯t understand why he eavesdropped on her conversation with her child. ¡°Why do youe to my humble house instead of sleeping in the splendid presidential residence? What are you thinking about?¡± Chi Weiyang yed games on her cell phone while chatting with her. ¡°You dislike me?¡± ¡°Holy God, I don¡¯t have the guts. I won''tin about it if you live here for a few months or even half a year, not to mention you only stay here for a day¡­ You are the birth mother of Mr. President¡¯s son. I won''t feel bothered out of deference to Mr. President? Am I right?¡± ¡°Who said that I would only stay here for a day?¡± Chi Weiyang hoisted herself to a sitting position and looked at Xia Xingchen, ¡°Do you really want to live here for half a year?¡± Xia Xingchen sat with her arms about her knees, lost in thought without speaking a word. What had happened today made her feelpletely at a loss. She didn''t know how to face him if she came back. ¡­¡­ Bai Yeqing didn¡¯t have dinner. He was so angry that he didn¡¯t feel like eating. Therefore, the butler took the dishes which he didn''t eat at all downstairs. Xia Dabai popped his head around the door and looked into the study. He really sympathized with Daddy. So, After much heart-searching, he decided to ''risk''forting him. But would it be afort to Little Bai? He knocked twice on the study door with his small hand, but the man inside did not pay attention to him. Then he pushed the door open in a cavalier attitude after saying ¡°Little Bai, I came in.¡±
Chapter 44 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: (Need Help!!!) He knocked twice on the study door with his small hand, but the man inside did not pay attention to him. Then he pushed the door open in a cavalier attitude after saying ¡°Little Bai, I came in.¡± First, he popped his head around the door and found that the light was on in therge oval study. There were many rows of bookshelves, he had to raise up his head to see the top. But he didn¡¯t see dad, so he toddled from the first row of bookshelves in his small slippers. When he reached the fifth row, he found his dad. Obviously, Bai Yeqing was in a really bad mood, he leaned over the bookshelf and kept turning pages, making a flip-flop sound. When Xia Dabai came over, he just nced at him indifferently with his lips shut. Xia Dabai intimated him, also picked up several foreign books and started turning pages. When he turned to the tenth page, he got really bored, ¡°Little Bai, why did you eavesdrop our conversation? Dabao said that eavesdropping is a very rude behavior~¡± ¡°Who said that I eavesdropped? That is my phone, I can listen to it whenever I like.¡± And in public of course. ¡°¡­¡± Xia Dabai was speechless. When Bai Yeqing acted shamelessly, Dabai, a four-year-old child, couldn''tpete with him. ¡°Little Bai, don¡¯t be sad.¡± Xia Dabai leaned against him and raised his small hand, trying to pat his shoulder but failed. Finally, he could only pat Bai Yeqing¡¯s long legs, ¡°I know that you are sad because Dabao goes out for a date, but you can¡¯t punish yourself because of sadness, right? How about this, when Dabaoes back tomorrow, I confess to Dabao for you! Let Dabao take you into consideration and have dates with you!¡± Little viin! ¡°Who wants to date her? She had best nevere back!¡± Bai Yeqing said coldly and put the book back on the shelf, then walked away with a stiff face. While he actually, was getting more and more depressed. Xia Dabai looked at his back and didn¡¯t understand why. He was obviouslyforting his dad, but why did dad''s mood seem to get worse? Two steps away, Bai Yeqing remembered something and suddenly looked back, staring at his son. ¡°Don''t talk nonsense in front of Xia Xingchen. Otherwise, you don¡¯t even think about touching other weapons!¡± Xia Dabai was stunned, and he covered his mouth with both hands, standing straight, After a long while, he couldn''t help but continued, "Dad, you really suck!" "?" "You even threaten a four-year-old kid¡­" Bai Yeqing snorted as a response, showing no softness. At ordinary times, he acted and talked like a little worldly-wise viin, now he remembered he was just four years old. ¡­ ¡­ Bai Yeqing went abroad for a visit and returned five dayster. In the evening, he got off the ne, and Leng Fei drove him directly to the presidential pce. The servants of the presidential pce all came out to receive him, Xia Dabai stayed up as well. Dabai came at him and said, ¡°Dad, I saw you on TV.¡± Bai Yeqing felt satisfied by the kid''s hug. He stretched out his long arm to raise him up. Then he subconsciously looked around. ¡°Where is Miss Xia?¡± He asked. ¡°Miss Xia has not been back since she went out that day!¡± Bai Yeqing''s face turned sullen. Good! Run away from home? Xia Dabai held Bai Yeqing¡¯s neck with his arms and frowned, asking, ¡°Dad, are you quarreling now? Dabao is mad with you?¡± ¡°What can we quarrel about?¡± ¡°Then why doesn''t Dabaoe back?¡± Bai Yeqing fell silent for a while and then ordered, ¡°Prepare a car.¡± ¡­ ¡­ Here two women were sitting cross-legged on the couch eating fruits and watching the news. Originally, Xia Xingchen was holding the remote control and changing channels monotonously. As a result, she stopped at the news channel. The figure of Bai Yeqing was moving on the TV in front of her eyes. She frowned and was about to transfer to another channel. Chi Weiyang grabbed the remote control, ¡°Why to change it, it looks great. Look, how handsome! Xingchen, have you noticed that since he became the president of our country, the news even looks like an idol drama?¡± ¡°You keep watching, I am going to wash and sleep. The mask on your face should be picked up.¡± Xia Xingchen put down the pillow in her hands and got up. Just then¡­ The doorbell rang suddenly. ¡°Eh, who wille at such ate time?¡± Chi Weiyang suspiciously got up from the sofa. Xia Xingchen also stopped and reminded, ¡°Look who is outside first before opening the door.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Chi Weiyang carefully squinted one beautiful eye at the cat¡¯s eye. At first nce, she thought she mistook, then she rubbed her eyes and looked again. "Ah¨C" she screamed, and the mask on her face fell. Xia Xingchen was scared by Chi Weiyang''s screaming, "What¡¯s wrong? Who is it? Shall we call the police?" It was sote, she was afraid that it was a sensual man. "Xingchen¡­ The man¡­ outside the door¡­" Chi Weiyang pointed at the door and couldn¡¯t speak for a long time. "Who is it?" She peered through the peephole. Chi Weiyang said, "It''s Mr. President!" Xia Xingchen was stunned. At this moment, she also saw the man through the peephole. Not as formal, solemn and serious as she saw on TV, he was wearing a white shirt and a windbreaker with the color of camel''s hair. His dress was very simple, but his extraordinary proud and noble temperament was not changed at all. Moreover¡­ Obviously, he had been quite impatient outside the door at the moment, and he pulled a long face. Xia Xingchen was quite surprised, muttering, "Why did hee here?" "Would there be other reasons? He muste here to take you home! You haven''t gone back for so many days!" Take her home? Xia Xingchen thought, "I am not that special." "What are you doing, open the door!" Chi Weiyang was very excited and pushed Xia Xingchen. She was so thrilled as if Mr. President wasing to look for her. Xia Xingchen was puzzled and moved her hand slowly to open the door. However, when her hand touched the doorknob, Chi Weiyang remembered something and grabbed her, "Stop, don¡¯t move, wait for me!" "What''s wrong?" "The mask on my face hasn¡¯t been washed yet! Xingchen, hurry up. Help me clean up the living room. It''s so messy, there is no ce for Mr. President to sit." Said Chi Weiyang, running to the bathroom. Xia Xingchen thought she was too exaggerated, "Isn''t this room clean?" "Not at all. Hurry to tidy it up." Xia Xingchen had to clean up first. In fact, she only reced the cushion. After a while, Chi Weiyang came out of the bathroom. When Xia Xingchen saw her, she was shocked beyond words. This woman was too fast! Not only she changed her clothes, but she even also made up. Was that necessary!? "Stop looking at me. Haven¡¯t you seen me make up? Hurry up, open the door. The president has been anxious outside." He was indeed anxious outside. When the door opened, his face was extremely gloomy.

When the door opened, his face was extremely gloomy. "Why take so long?" He asked in a deep voice and looked at Xia Xingchen coldly. "Weiyang was getting dressed inside." Xia Xingchen pointed at the woman behind her. Then Chi Weiyang hurriedly stepped forward and said to Mr. President, "Nice to meet you, Mr. President. I am Xingchen''s best friend, as well as the foster mother of Dabai." "Nice to meet you." Bai Yeqing nodded at her slightly. Compared with his previous attitude toward Xia Xingchen, he behaved more polite and elegant now. Xia Xingchen was pissed off, why should he put on that face in front of her? He was actually the one to me for thest case! Remembering what happenedst time, though several days had passed, she still bore a grudge. Xia Xingchen asked, "Why do youe here in such ate time?" He came here in person, Leng Fei was not with him, then if someone would see him, things could go quite wrong. What if another attack happens¡­ "Let''s not talk in the door,e in and have a seat." Chi Weiyang chipped in, and then she lowered her voice and said to Xia Xingchen, "Xingchen, don''t act like a kid, please, lead Mr. President inside." "No need." When Xia Xingchen was hesitating, Bai Yeqing spoke. Then he frowned and squinted at Xia Xingchen with his cold eyes, asking in a reproaching tone, "How do you be a mother?" "What?" Xia Xingchen was confused. "Don''t you know he''s sick?" "Dabai?" Xia Xingchen understood his meaning, "howe? I called him everyday, he never told me he''s sick." Bai Yeqing didn''t say any more, looking like he didn''t care about Xia Xingchen believing it or not. Instead, he nodded at Chi Weiyang, "Excuse me, Miss Chi. See you next time." "Ah, you are leaving now?" Chi Weiyang felt pitiful. While Mr. President left without hesitation. Xia Xingchen suddenly came to herself, "Wait, Mr. President, I will go back with you!" Her heart had already flown back since she heard Xia Dabai got sick. Bai Yeqing strode into the elevator, ignoring her words. The door of the elevator closed slowly, and he kept looking ahead expressionlessly, showing on intention of waiting for her. Seeing the elevator closed and went down, Xia Xingchen got very irritated. "What a man! Why ignore me? Too annoying!" "All right, don''t be mad, you want to go back like this?" Chi Weiyang nced at her pajamas, "hurry up to change your clothes, anyway, you can take a taxi." Xia Xingchen thought she was right. Then she rushed into the bedroom and changed clothes, while Chi Weiyang was waiting beside the phone. "I''m leaving, remember to lock the door when sleeping." She hugged Chi Weiyang. "I will. Call me when you arrive. Besides, tell me what''s going on with my adopted son." "I know." Xia Xingchen was also quite anxious, "when I reach home I can figure out then. Today when I was calling him, he sounded good, so it may not be serious." "OK, don''t worry too much, he may just caught a cold." Xia Xingchen nodded, after saying goodbye, she went down in the elevator. Hateful Bai Yeqing said nothing but left one message, only making her anxious but unable to do anything. Moreover¡­ Did hee sote only to say these words to her? The more she thought about it, the more unhappy she was. Muttering, she went out of the building. When she went outside themunity and was going to take a taxi¡­ With a booming noise, a ck Ferrari rushed over like a bullet. She was shocked and quickly stepped back, and the car stopped exactly in front of her. The car window slowly descended. Through the dim light, she recognized the person in the driver''s seat. If it was not Bai Yeqing, who else would pull such a long face? However¡­ Didn''t he leave just now? "Get in." Bai Yeqing said two words slowly. Xia Xingchen didn''t want topromise so easily, so remained static for two seconds. But Bai Yeqing didn''t wait for her, going to step on the elerator and start the car. Xia Xingchen cursed him secretly, rushed to the front of his car without hesitation, hurriedly pressed on the front of the car and said, "I''ll get in the car! Don''t go!¡± Meanwhile, Bai Yeqing frowned and stepped on the brakes intensely, blue veins appearing on his forehead. Damn it! Was this woman dicing with death? As long as he identally stepped on the elerator, she would be smashed into pieces in minutes! Xia Xingchen had been anxious and didn''t feel the danger at all. She opened the car door and got in. However, unexpectedly, when she got in, he shouted violently, "Xia Xingchen, are you dicing with death?" These simple words were full of anger. Xia Xingchen was stunned. She had already borne him a grudge. Now after being shouted by him, she suddenly lost her temper. "Just because I get in your car then I''m courting death? What''s a big deal! Who wants to get in your car!" She said these words with hatred, and opened the car door to get out. Bai Yeqing reached out and pulled her back. She was really irritated and threw his hand away, "Don¡¯t touch me!" "Dare you to get off the car!" Xia Xingchen turned back and red at him, opened the car door and got off. This woman was too stupid! Bai Yeqing thought that he should not care about this woman, but when she was stopping the taxi angrily, he stepped on the elerator and followed her. A taxi stopped, Xia Xingchen just opened the car door, a big hand came out from the side and mmed the door. Xia Xingchen tried to pull the door open with full strength. However, Bai Yeqing¡¯s strength was much greater than hers. Xia Xingchen tried twice, but the car door kept unmoved as being pressed by him. The driver in the car got impatient, lowered the car window and said, "Hey, will you go?" "Yes!" "No!" The two said simultaneously. The driver''s eyes were fixed on Bai Yeqing''s face, "Hey, why do you look so familiar? Are you a superstar?" Fortunately, it was evening, and the driver could not see Bai Yeqing''s face clearly. Otherwise, if Bai Yeqing was recognized by the driver, it was hard to say what would happen. Bai Yeqing said indifferently, "Drive the car away." Hearing these imposing words, the driver did not stay any more. When he was driving away, he eyes nced at the rearview mirror from time to time. This person''s face seems quite familiar! ¡­ ¡­ At this moment, Xia Xingchen went back to the roadside. Bai Yeqing''s face was gloomy. He shouted, "Xia Xingchen, stop!" Why need to listen to him! She was stubborn as a hard stone. Bai Yeqing grabbed her hand, but she took her hand out with strength, "Go away, don¡¯t touch me!" Bai Yeqing snorted and stared at her stubborn face, "I have touched everywhere in your body whether I should touch or not. Isn''t it toote to say that?¡±

Bai Yeqing snorted and stared at her stubborn face, "I have touched everywhere in your body whether I should touch or not. Isn''t it toote to say that?¡± Hearing he said that, she was angrier and forgot all about his identity, ¡°You hooligan!¡± Thinking of the incidentst time, she cursed at him without fear. Bai Yeqing wore a gloomy face. He ignored her curse, simply stepped forward and embraced her waist with one long arm. Xia Xingchen eximed as she felt dizzy, and then she found herself on his shoulder. This bastard! But his wound had notpletely healed now. How could he stand her weight on his shoulder? Wait a minute! What was she thinking about? It was time to worry about yourself now! She gritted her teeth, clenched her fists and beat him, ¡°Bai Yeqing, put me down! I will never get in your car even I walk to death!¡± ¡°Dare you to move again!¡± He gritted his teeth as well. "What can you do to me? What can you do?" She provoked him by wiggling and beating. But he was physically strong, her fists beating on his back was like soft pillows patting on the stone. He was safe and sound, but her hands turned red. Bai Yeqing got annoyed about her, "Snap ¨C ", he mmed directly on her pretty buttocks. ¡°You¡­you rogue!¡± Xia Xingchen flew into a rage out of humiliation. ¡°You dare to make trouble, I will show you what a real rogue is!¡± Bai Yeqing warned her. After that, the woman on his shoulder suddenly settled down. She was so anxious that she even dared not to breathe heavily. Last time in the restroom, she just used him of harassment, as a result¡­ He really did it! Xia Xingchen was afraid that he would do the same asst time. Biting the lips, she allowed him to walk carrying her on his shoulder. She felt something was umting in her eyes, she didn''t know whether it was caused by dizziness or grievances. Bai Yeqing threw her into the car and pulled the seat belt to buckle her. He raised his cold eyes and looked directly into her eyes. The tears gushing from her eyes startled him, he frowned. She sniffed and turned her face away, looking outside the window. She tried to be as calm as possible. ¡°Why crying?¡± he asked. "None of your business!" Bai Yeqing snorted and really didn¡¯t ask further. He closed the door and went to the driver¡¯s seat. Then he stepped on the pedal and drove forward. Along the way, he always nced at her unconsciously. Dame it! The stubborn woman sitting nearby was shedding tears more intensely. He was in a fret but didn''t know the reason. It was probably because the way she cried was really ugly. But¡­ the woman in tears actually looked¡­ delicate and touching¡­ He took a paper towel and handed it to her, "Don¡¯t cry! You look so ugly!" Although the tone was fierce, his eyesight was full of some emotions that he had not noticed. Xia Xingchen, being annoyed, was not aware of it either. This man was really bad! He didn''t even know how to hand a paper towel gently! She took the paper towel angrily and sobbed, "If I knew you were so hateful earlier, I shouldn''t have taken care of you when you were injured¡­" He frowned and nced at her, "Do you think you have been wronged?" "Shouldn''t I feel wronged?" Xia Xingchen red at him with red eyes, "You want me to give birth to a child, and then I had to do that even if I wasughed at. You want to sexually assault me, and I could never reject that. And now, you forced me to get in your car. But just now when you didn''t want me to get in your car, you shouted at me so fiercely." The more she said, the more she felt wronged, and her voice was choked with emotion, "What do you take me for? I am a human, not your pet¡­" Pet? Bai Yeqing snorted, "If I have a pet like you who is so stupid and disobedient, I''ll kill it personally and cook it!¡± "¡­" This guy! She hadn''t realized that he was so annoying! When Xia Xingchen still wanted to say something more, Bai Yeqing suddenly said, "The reason I shouted at you is not that I don''t want you to get in the car.¡± His voice got much more gentle. "Don''t pretend anymore. I know it." "So I said you are stupid!" "¡­" Xia Xingchen was too irritated to say anything. Taking a deep breath, she tried to be patient and asked, "Well, if it''s not because you don''t want me to get in the car, then why did you shout at me?" "Because you stupid woman¡­" Not finishing the whole sentence, he suddenly paused. Turning his head, he found she was also looking at him. He was a little embarrassed and did not continue. Xia Xingchen asked, "Because of what?" "¡­" He didn''t speak. "Tell me." "You are so annoying!" Bai Yeqing was angry. "You don''t know how to make excuses ¨C I knew it!" Xia Xingchen looked like she''d known that he was lying. Bai Yeqing couldn¡¯t bear it anymore, ¡°I shouted at you because you are so stupid that you use your body to stop my car! Do you know that if I stepped on the elerator, you would have been dead!¡± He was even more furious when he recalled the dangerous moment she was not aware of. He red sideways at her, ¡°You are stupid enough!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen was stunned by his angry words, going nk for a moment. So it turned out to be that she misunderstood him? For a moment, she wiped her tears silently and stopped ring at him. It was strange that she didn''t feel angry when he said, ¡°You are stupid enough!¡± Even her anger and grievances had somehow disappeared. Their tit-for-tat quarrel stopped. Instead, they were much calmer now. However, neither of them tried to start a conversation from their own initiative. The atmosphere inside the car was awkward. He continued to drive quietly, while Xia Xingchen turned her gaze outside the window. ¡­¡­ It waste when they returned to the presidential residence. The remaining servants in the manor greeted them at the door. Bai Yeqing climbed out of the car and told them to go to rest. Then the servants quietly went back to rest. Xia Xingchen was worried about her child, so she quickly changed her shoes and hurried upstairs without caring about tidiness in her dress. Bai Yeqing followed her up. ¡°He has fallen asleep.¡± Bai Yeqing reminded her as she pushed the door of the kid¡¯s room. ¡°What¡¯s up with him?¡± ¡°He caught a cold,¡± Bai Yeqing replied. ¡°Did he have a fever or a cough? Did you send for a doctor? His throat bes inmed every time he catches a cold¡­¡± Bai Yeqing could scarcely bear to look at her worried face, ¡°Doctor Fu hase to see him. He said that Dabai would recover after a good night¡¯s sleep.¡± ¡°Really?" "Yes." ¡°Ok,¡± Xia Xingchen was relieved, ¡°I want to see him.¡± As she said, she quietly went into the room. She did not turn on the light but walked to the bed by the moonlight outside the window.

Plz email me at , or join our Discord Server: Chapter 47 Chapter 47 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: (She will show up in chapter 48!) Sitting on the bed and hearing the child¡¯s light and even breathing, Xia Xingchen was very satisfied . These five days of miss finally got an outlet . In fact, she could only endure for a few days . She would go crazy if she hadn¡¯t seen her Dabai for a long time . She carefully touched the child¡¯s forehead and felt a normal temperature, and then she gave a long sigh of relief . Doctor Fu¡¯s medical skills had always been good . Dealing with a small cold was certainly not a problem for him . Xia Xingchen hugged Dabai for a while before she left the room, and then she went back to her bedroom to take a shower . Having been out a few days, the servants still kept the room clean and tidy . When she was in the bathtub, she remembered Bai Yeqing¡¯s wounds . When he just carried her on his shoulder, she almost lost her mind because of anger, so she might hurt him with her fists . His wounds were still slowly healing, after her rash action, they might rupture again . ¡­ ¡­ While on the other side . Bai Yeqing was standing in front of a full-length mirror . He frowned when taking off his shirt . Sure enough, there were already blood stains on the shirt . He turned sideways to have a look at the back and barely saw that the wounds were bleeding . That woman was really rude! It was quitete, servants all went to rest, dealing with the wounds on the back was not easy for him . But Bai Yeqing had no choice but to handle it by himself . He took gauze and scissors out of the drawer and was about to deal with it, and then he heard a knock on the door . ¡°Who is it?¡± ¡°¡­ It¡¯s me . ¡± Xia Xingchen¡¯s voice came from the outside . Compared with her yell in Chi Weiyang¡¯s home, now her voice was incredibly soft . In front of her, he didn¡¯t have to hide the wounds . Xia Xingchen was waiting outside the door, and when the door was pulled open, the man¡¯s tall and strong upper body crashed into her eyes without warning . She breathed became heavy and didn¡¯t know where to look . Although she had taken care of him and helped him to wipe his body before . But¡­ Since thest time she was teased by him, how dared she to look straight to him? ¡°It¡¯ste, but you dare toe here, not afraid of being swallowed by me?¡± Bai Yeqing squinted, looking at her from top to bottom and observing her uneasiness . Xia Xingchen was even more embarrassed . ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense¡­ I¡­ Ie to ask you for money . ¡± She had a sudden inspiration,ing up with a good idea . She became justified and confident at once . She drew herself up and reached over to him, ¡°Give me money . ¡± ¡°What money?¡± He looked down at her palm . ¡°Have you forgotten what you said? On thest day I took care of you, you said that Leng Fei would pay me . We have been busy these days, so it is dyed . Now since I think of it, just give me the money quickly in case that you forget it againter . ¡± He just said it in furiousness, but this woman took his word for it! Bai Yeqing gave her a re, ¡°Come with me!¡± He turned around and walked inside . Then Xia Xingchen saw the wounds on his back . He got an almost perfect figure, no extra meat on his bones . He looked thin in clothes while muscr after taking off clothes . He was naked at the moment, his Apollo¡¯s belt looming ¨C he looked so sexy . But¡­ Wounds were scattered across his back . However, this was not something to worry ¨C it only made him more masculine . ¡°How much do you want?¡± Bai Yeqing took out the checkbook . This woman was definitely the first person who dared to take money from him . Still staring at his back, Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t hear his words . He nced sideways at her, finding that she was looking at him, lost in thought . He narrowed his eyes, ¡°am I so attractive?¡± ¡°Ah?¡± She collected herself and realized something . Then she exined, ¡°Don¡¯t get me wrong . I was just looking at your wounds . ¡± ¡°It¡¯s all because of you . ¡± ¡°Why did you shout at me and carry me on your shoulder?¡± Xia Xingchen thought to herself . ¡°Sit down . Let me help you deal with the wound . ¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you regret that you shouldn¡¯t take care of me at that time?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen was depressed . Why did he always refute her using her own words? Although Bai Yeqing spared no effort to refute her, he still sat down . He raised his chin to point at the gauze and potion . He was just worried about how to deal with the wounds on his back . She didn¡¯t say anything then, carefully binding up his wounds with adroitness . ¡°How did you know Yu Zenan?¡± Bai Yeqing suddenly opened his mouth . ¡°What?¡± ¡°Stay away from him!¡± His tone indicated that he was not discussing with her, but ordering her . ¡°Why?¡± ¡°There is no reason . The Yu family is not easy to deal with . ¡± Xia Xingchen curled her lips, ¡°I think he is pretty good . Anyway, even if he¡¯s hard to deal with, he¡¯s much more reliable than you¡­¡± She said thest sentence in a very low voice . Not hearing her words clearly, Bai Yeqing turned to look at her coldly and said, ¡°You¡¯d better not ignore my words! If you want to go on a blind date, you should at least choose a suitable man . Do you think it¡¯s possible for Yu Zennan to marry you?¡± His words made her stunned . Her self-esteem was damaged . It seemed that she was particrly humble . She couldn¡¯t reach either Bai Yeqing or Yu Zenan . When she was a little closer to any one of them, others would think she had overrated herself . This was the case in the eyes of others and in Bai Yeqing¡¯s eyes as well . If someone else such as Xu Yan said that, she would not be so sad¡­ ¡°Yes, he won¡¯t marry me . How can people like you, who live in another world and are superior to others, think highly of normal people like me?¡± Her inferiorityplex and anger were obviously shown in her tone . Bai Yeqing frowned and turned to her . She had already bandaged his wound . Putting the gauze and the potion down, she said indifferently, ¡°If nothing else, I¡¯ll go to sleep . ¡± After that, she turned to leave immediately . Looking at her back, Bai Yeqing was so depressed that he didn¡¯t even think about it and grabbed her hand . Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t expect this situation ¨C this man¡¯s breath shrouded from the top of her head, which took her breath away . She looked up and caught his deep eyes . Her heart suddenly beat really fast . She felt dangerous but could not tell what it was . She wanted to leave, but Bai Yeqing hugged her slender waist with one hand . He only held her with a little force and she couldn¡¯t move ¨C He had arge palm and her waist barely filled his palm . Physical contact and the ambiguous atmosphere made Xia Xingchen a little panicked . She wanted to say something, but she felt dry mouth and couldn¡¯t speak a word . She tried to take his hand away, but then her hand was held tightly by his other hand . Her fingers intertwined with his . ¡°Bai¡­Bai Yeqing¡­¡± She wanted to rebuke him and push him away . However, there was no anger in her voice at all . Instead, her voice soundedpletely soft . What she was like at this moment almost made him lose his mind . Chapter 48 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: LH
What she was like at this moment almost made him lose his mind. His gaze swept over her eyes and then fell on her beautiful nose. And then¡­ It was her rosy, soft lips which parted slightly¡­ His gaze fell there, paused, and could not move. His eyes suddenly became deep and dangerous. Xia Xingchen caught his eyesight, her throat tightened and she subconsciously tried to escape. However, before she reacted, the man''s lips once again covered hers overbearingly. Although it was the fourth time he kissed her, Xia Xingchen could not be calm. Her breathing almost stopped and the empty hand pushed his shoulder hard, but he did not move. His overbearing and possessive kiss, made her difficult to resist. While kissing, the man''s big palm gradually moved from the upper side of her waist to the body parts above¡­ The dangerous feeling made Xia Xingchen calm down at once, and her eyes, which had been blurred, could barely focus now. She suddenly stood up from the man''sp. Her eyes, which were covered with moisture and mist, looked at him like a frightened deer. Her hands grasped her pajamas neckline subconsciously and her fingers trembled. The heat and strength of his fingertips seemed to still remain on her chest, which made her mouth dry. ¡­¡­ In the end, she fled from his room. She intended to ask for money, but as a result, she had totally forgotten that. Going back to her bedroom, for a long time, she still remembered the words that he whispered when he caught her, "Stay away from Yu Zenan!" She asked with a trembling voice, "Why?" Bold and straight, he replied calmly, "I don¡¯t like it!" This man was extremely overbearing! His piercing eyes at that time was sharp as if he wanted to burn her into ashes. Xia Xingchen''s mind was in a whirl and she couldn''t think about it at all. So, she neither nodded nor shook her head, and ran out, frightened. The situation at that time made her feel that if she ran out slower, she might be eaten by him. It was too dangerous! She was so tense that her heart pounds like a jackhammer the whole night. She couldn¡¯t help but me herself. He teased her not long before; how could she not learn a lesson and let him¡­ She bit her lip, and covered herself with quilt annoyingly, forcing her to stop thinking about him. The next day. Xia Dabai got up bleary-eyed. When he just came out of the room, someone held him up. He turned his head and saw who it was. Then he wrapped his arms around Bai Yeqing''s neck, ¡°Daddy, did you pick up Dabao yesterday?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Good job. Kiss for you!¡± Regardless of whether Bai Yeqing was willing or not, Dabai pouted and kissed Daddy on his face. As they lived together for a longer time, they got along with each other better. But sometimes they still liked to bicker with each other. ¡°If you don¡¯t want her to leave you alone for such a long time, then just keep nodding, no matter what I said at breakfast.¡± Xia Dabai was confused, ¡°Daddy, what are you going to say?¡± ¡°You will know at that time.¡± ¡°Ok.¡± ¡­¡­ After a while, breakfast time. As soon as Xia Xingchen appeared, Dabai hurled himself into her arms, acting like a spoiled brat. She picked him up and kissed him. ¡°Dabao, I miss you so much.¡± Xia Dabai hugged her, and smiled at the man sitting at the table. ¡°Daddy misses you too.¡± Xia Xingchen looked at Bai Yeqing unconsciously, recalling what happenedst night. An embarrassed look appeared on her face. Originally she thought he would deny Dabai¡¯s words, but he didn¡¯t! Instead, he turned to the butler and gave him some orders. Xia Xingchen couldn¡¯t help but look at his handsome profile, thinking that he probably didn¡¯t hear Dabai''s words. She shook her head and prevented herself from thinking about him again. Anyway, they had nothing to do with each other. Dabai just said that casually; if she bore it in her mind, it would make her look stupid. As for those things¡­ Last time, he made it clear that he was teasing her. Andst night¡­ She could only me it on hormones. For adult single men and women, even if they had no feelings for each other, it would be easy to burn with desire, not to mention that she''d slept with him. Shaking off all these thoughts, she put her son on the children¡¯s chair and touched his forehead, asking, ¡°Do you still have any feeling of difort now?¡± He shook his head, ¡°I''m feeling super good!¡± Xia Xingchen smiled with relief, ¡°Doctor Fu is so skilled. But, has he prescribed any medicine for you?¡± ¡°Why should I take medicine?¡± Xia Dabai was more confused. ¡°You had a feverst night.¡± Bai Yeqing chipped in. He sipped his soup slowly and nced at his son, ¡°you forgot that?¡± ¡°Ah¡­ I remember¡­ Yeah, Dabao, I had a cold. You and Dad were both out, I was so poor~¡± Xia Dabai took the opportunity to make a request, ¡°Dabao, don¡¯t leave home for so long in the future, OK?" Xia Xingchen loved her son dearly, so once he requested, how could she think more? She just kept nodding and promised, ¡°Okay, I promise that I will never do it again.¡± Xia Dabai proudly raised his brows at someone. Bai Yeqing seemed to be in a good mood, as his usually-non-expression face put a faint smile at this moment. ¡­ ¡­ After breakfast, Xia Xingchen took her bag and was about to go. As she reached the door, she reminded the butler that he must pay special attention to Dabai''s temperature. After all, she still felt worried. However, the work had to be done. ¡°Baby, I''m going, give me a kiss.¡± She squatted down and leaned over to the son. Xia Dabai stood on tiptoe to print a kiss on her face. Suddenly he hugged her neck and said in a low voice, ¡°Dabao, in fact, I am not sick at all¡­¡± "What?" ¡°Dad has lied to you, in fact, he just wants to pick you up.¡± His voice was very low so that only the two could hear. After that, he put his little finger on Xia Xingchen¡¯s lips, ¡°Hush! Don¡¯t tell Little Bai. Little Bai is so arrogant, is he knows that I expose his lie, he will definitely threaten me again.¡± Xia Xingchen was stunned and wondered whether it was true. Before she could ask her son in detail, Bai Baiqing walked out. Xia Dabai quickly released the hand holding Xingchen and stepped back. Perhaps because of his guilty conscience, he stood up straight and called with a strong voice, ¡°Dad, goodbye!¡± Bai Yeqing gave him a nce but noticed nothing, so he nodded and continued to walk.
Hi, this is Sweet Bun~ Finally find a proofreader ¨C LH for GMMP ?? Special thanks to LH, we better this story together, and we will keep working hard on it ?? Chapter 49 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: LH
S She was dumbstruck and kept thinking about her son''s words. When she came to herself, she could only see his back. She intended to ask him if their son was telling the truth, but Xia Dabai was rubbing his hands and taking bows to beg her not to sell him out. She was softhearted, so she didn''t speak out her questions. Following him from behind, she looked up at his broad shoulders several times, having mixed emotions. She was absent-minded all the way until Leng Fei opened the door for him, he got in the car, Leng Fei smiled and called ¡°Miss Xia¡±, she suddenly came to herself. Oops. She actually followed him here! ¡°Sorry.¡± Xia Xingchen said in a low voice, feeling so embarrassed that she did not dare to look at Bai Yeqing in the car. Then she turned around to go to the driver who was already waiting for her in the back. While Leng Fei continued, ¡°I have been too busy recently, so I haven''t got time to congratte Miss Xia." Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t understand, so she looked up at him, ¡°Congrattion for what?¡± ¡°Of course for your work. Congrattions, you have passed the assessment and re-entered the Foreign Ministry.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± Xia Xingchen politely thanked him, ¡°I don''t know that you would notice about my work considering that you are so busy, thank you for being considerate.¡± "The considerate person should be His Excellency." "Him?" Xia Xingchen took a look inside the car subconsciously. What does it have to do with him? Seeing through her thoughts at this moment, Leng Fei said, ¡°His Excellency had specially called the Foreign Ministry to ask them¡­¡± ¡°Secretary Leng, aren''t you busy?¡± A cold voice interrupted Leng Fei. The window slowly wound down and the man''s handsome face appeared. He nced at Leng Fei, "I didn''t know you are so talkative." ¡°¡­¡± Leng Fei stunned and didn¡¯t dare to speak anymore. He only nodded to Xia Xingchen and turned to go. Xia Xingchen frowned slightly. After taking a look at Bai Yeqing, she subconsciously reached out to pull Leng Fei, ¡°Secretary Leng, please finish your words before you go.¡± ¡°I''ve said too much. Miss Xia, if you want to know just ask His Excellency.¡± Leng Fei didn¡¯t dare to stay here any longer, and Xia Xingchen naturally couldn¡¯t stop him. A row of cars whistled away. She stood there staring at the motorcade while contemting, then she suddenly doubled back to their house. ¡°Dabai.¡± She called her son. ¡°Hey? Dabao, why do youe back now?¡± Xia Xingchen took out her mobile phone and asked, ¡°Do you have your father¡¯s private number?¡± ¡°Of course, just think about my rtionship with Dad.¡± The little kid was very proud. Few people know Dad''s private number! The next second he looked at her and asked, ¡°Dabao, till now you don''t even have Little Bai''s number, do you?¡± ¡°Well, no.¡± ¡°Hasn''t Little Bai given it to you proactively?¡± "No." ¡°Okay, Dad is too slow, wants to chase the girl but doesn''t leave a number, how could that work?¡± Grumbled Dabai. Xia Xingchen felt embarrassed, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. Hurry, give me his number. I have something to ask him.¡± Xia Dabai took her mobile phone and operated using his white and tender little fingers for a while, and then the number of Bai Yeqing was saved. Xia Xingchen saw his note, and then patted his small head without hesitation, ¡°Naughty.¡± The little guy actually saved the number as her ¡®Future Husband¡¯! She wanted to change it right away but failed, as no matter how she tried, the editing function wouldn''t work. ¡°What happened?¡± Did it die or something? ¡°Don¡¯t change it, this is the most appropriate ID.¡± Xia Dabai smiled like a fox, ¡°anyway, with your IQ, you won''t be able to change it.¡± Xia Xingchen understood, ¡°You set up some program in my mobile phone, didn''t you?¡± ¡°Bingo. It seems you are not dumb, or you can¡¯t have a talented genius like me.¡± Xia Dabai felt very good about himself. He didn¡¯t change the note for her but ran upstairs directly. Xia Xingchen really didn''t know what to do with his son''s high IQ. So, even a child could bully her now? Had the father and the son nned about these? ¡­¡­ Xia Xingchen tried to call him ¨C looking at the shing ¡®Future Husband¡¯ on the screen, she still felt embarrassed. She was afraid that people would notice that, so she held her phone tightly. She really couldn''t imagine what he would think about her if he knew this. Xia Xingchen remembered what he said to herst night ¨C If you want to go on a blind date, you should at least choose a suitable man. Do you think it''s possible for Yu Zennan to marry you? ¨C She looked down and the light in her eyes became dim. It was conceivable that this address ''Future Husband'' would make him feel ridiculous. Bai Yeqing didn''t answer the phone. Xia Xingchen made two calls in total, one in the morning, the other in the noon; neither got an answer. He must be very busy. She didn''t insist on making calls, but she checked her phone from time to time, waiting for him to call back. It was nearly 1 pm and her lunch break was about to end, suddenly Xia Xingchen''s cell phone rang. She immediately took out the phone, to her surprise, this call was not from Bai Yeqing but from Li Lingyi. She didn''t expect this. Normally if there is no urgency, Li Lingyi won¡¯t call her. After thinking about it, she touched ''ept'' and put it against her ear. ¡°Xingchen, your Dad is in big trouble!¡± Li Lingyi¡¯s tone sounded anxious, nearly bursting into tears. Xia Xingchen frowned slightly, and her heart was also hung up. But she tried to remain calm and continue to ask, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Your father, he¡­ He has had a fever since two days ago; today people from the Epidemic Prevention Department took him away and said¡­ it was confirmed that he was infected with the Wis epidemic disease.¡± Then Li Lingyi started to sob, while Xia Xingchen felt quite worried, and she clenched her phone subconsciously. The Wis epidemic disease was now spreading globally, it would cause high rates of mortality and infection, and until now no effective therapeutic or preventive drugs had been developed yet. Therefore, such an epidemic disease wasrgely equivalent to the death penalty. You could say that the patient infected by it had set one foot into the gates of hell, no exaggeration at all. Because the epidemic prevention work had always been done well in the country, the spreading scope was not wide. However, she did not expect that this disease would reach her family. ¡°I''ming back right now.¡± She said hastily, anxious to see her father. ¡°What¡¯s the use of youring back? Your Dad is not at home already. You''d better hurry to find someone in the Foreign Ministry who have contact with superior officials to help us, then we could get a chance to visit your Dad! Now he is in quarantine, we don''t have anytest updates on his situation now¡­" Li Lingyi cried again. as dumbstuck and kept thinking about her son''s words. When she came to herself, she could only see his back. She intended to ask him if their son was telling the truth, but Xia Dabai was rubbing his hands and taking bows to beg her not to sell him out. She was a softhearted, so she didn''t speak out her questions. Following him from behind, she looked up at his broad shoulders several times, having mixed emotions.

The next second he looked at her and asked, ¡°Dabao, till now you don''t even have Little Bai''s number, do you?¡± ¡°Well, no.¡± ¡°Hasn''t Little Bai given it to you proactively?¡± "No." ¡°Okay, Dad is too slow, wants to chase the girl but doesn''t leave a number, how could that work?¡± Grumbled Dabai. Xia Xingchen felt embarrassed, ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense. Hurry, give me his number. I have something to ask him.¡± Xia Dabai took her mobile phone and operated using his white and tender little fingers for a while, and then the number of Bai Yeqing was saved. Xia Xingchen saw his note, and then patted his small head without hesitation, ¡°Naughty.¡± This little guy actually saved the number as her ¡®Future Husband¡¯! She wanted to change it right away but failed, as no matter how she tried, the editing function wouldn''t work. ¡°What happened?¡± Did it die or something? ¡°Don¡¯t change it, this is the most appropriate ID.¡± Xia Dabai smiled like a fox, ¡°anyway, with your IQ, you won''t be able to change it.¡± Xia Xingchen understood, ¡°You set up some program in my mobile phone, didn''t you?¡± ¡°Bingo. It seems you are not dumb, or you can¡¯t have a talented genius like me.¡± Xia Dabai felt very good about himself. He didn¡¯t change the note for her but ran upstairs directly. Xia Xingchen really didn''t know what to do with his son''s high IQ. So, even a child could bully her now? Had the father and the son nned about these? ¡­¡­ Xia Xingchen tried to call him ¨C looking at the shing ¡®Future Husband¡¯ on the screen, she still felt embarrassed. She was afraid that people would notice that so she held her phone tightly. She really couldn''t imagine what he would think about her if he knew this. Xia Xingchen remembered what he said to herst night ¨C If you want to go on a blind date, you should at least choose a suitable man. Do you think it''s possible for Yu Zennan to marry you? ¨C She looked down and the light in her eyes became dim. It was conceivable that this address ''Future Husband'' would make him feel ridiculous. Bai Yeqing didn''t answer the phone. Xia Xingchen made two calls in total, one in the morning, the other in the noon; neither got an answer. He must be very busy. She didn''t insist on making calls, but she checked her phone from time to time, waiting for him to call back. When it passed 1 pm, the break was going to end, Xia Xingchen''s cell phone suddenly rang. She immediately took out the phone, to her surprise, this call was not from Bai Yeqing but from Li Lingyi. She didn''t expect this. Generally speaking, if there was no urgency, Li Lingyi would never call her. After thinking about it, she touched ''ept'' and put phone near her ear. ¡°Xingchen, your Dad has got in trouble!¡± Li Lingyi¡¯s tone sounded anxious, nearly bursting into tears. Xia Xingchen frowned slightly, and her heart was also hung up. But she tried to remain calm and continue to ask, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Your father, he¡­ He has had a fever since two days ago; today people from the Epidemic Prevention Department took him away and said¡­ it was confirmed that he was infected with the Wis epidemic disease.¡± Then Li Lingyi started to sob, while Xia Xingchen felt quite worried, and she clenched her phone subconsciously. The Wis epidemic disease was now spreading globally, it would cause high rates of mortality and infection, and until now no effective therapeutic or preventive drugs had been developed yet. Therefore, such an epidemic disease wasrgely equivalent to the death penalty. You could say that the patient infected by it had set one foot into the gates of hell, no exaggeration at all. Because the epidemic prevention work had always been done well in the country, the spreading scope was not wide. However, she did not expect that this disease would reach her family. ¡°I''ming back right now.¡± Xia Xingchen was anxious. ¡°What¡¯s the use of youring back? Your Dad is not at home already. You''d better hurry to find anyone in the Foreign Ministry who knows the superior officials to help us, then we could get a chance to visit your Dad! Now he has been quarantined, we know nothing about his situation now¡­" Li Lingyi cried again.

Speaking of this, Li Lingyi cried again, ¡°They even don''t allow family members to visit those patients. We don¡¯t know whether your Dad is alive or not yet¡­¡± Through the phone, Xia Xingchen heard the cry of both Li Lingyi and her grandmother, which sounded mournful. She didn''t have a good time either. Although she had already left the family, her kindred still remained; but¡­ ¡°I just be a permanent employee of the Foreign Ministry. Although I''m dealing with top officials every day, I''m afraid we are not that well familiar¡­¡± ¡°You have to at least try asking, then you can only know the answer!¡± Li Lingyi expected Xingchen could give her some hope, she regards her as her grasping at straws. Xia Xingchen paused for a while and asked: ¡°Does Xu Yan¡­ have any ideas?¡± ¡°¡­No.¡± Li Lingyi was more upset, ¡°He said that the epidemic prevention work is quite strict. No one can enter the quarantine station without permission, no exception.¡± The rules already stated, even Xu Yan had no solution, what could she do? Xia Xingchen''s inside was a mess, and Li Lingyi''s repeatedly pleading disturbed her further. After Xingchen pacified Li Lingyi for a long time and promised that she would try her best, Li Lingyi finally hung up slowly. Holding the phone, she stood on the balcony and faced the cool breeze. When she thought that her father¡¯s life or death was unknown, no, urately, her father was already standing at the gates of hell, she was anxious and her chest got pain as being stuffed by something. If Xu Yan couldn''t help, the persons who she could ask for help were Yu Zenan, and¡­ Bai Yeqing¡­ However, she was unable to make such requests to Bai Yeqing? He has to attend to myriad affairs daily¡­ Xia Xingchen unlocked her phone, opened address book and scrolled down to ¡®Yu Zenan''. However, before she dialed out, a call came. She stunned. Seeing the shing ¡®Future Husband'' on the screen, she was dumbfounded for a long while. When she picked up, the phone had already rung four or five times. ¡°Hello, who''s there?¡± Bai Yeqing¡¯s low-pitched and pleasant voice came from the phone. Xia Xingchen somehow felt her nose sore. His voice seemed to strike the softest and most vulnerable ce in her heart. Her feigned calmness copsed in an instant when heard his voice. She choked with sobs and wanted to say something, but her throat was like being blocked by something, so she couldn''t speak.
"Xia Xingchen?" Bai Yeqing called her name urately. Even if she didn¡¯t speak, he could recognize her by her heavy breathing. ¡°it¡¯s me¡­¡± ¡°You are crying?¡± Bai Yeqing''s voice got lower, ¡°what happened?¡± ¡°¡­Nothing serious.¡± Xia Xingchen shook her head and sniffed, and then she looked up and stared at the front, trying to hold back her tears. ¡°Tell me!¡± He required indisputably. After a pause, he continued to ask, ¡°Is there someone bullying you at the workce?¡± ¡°No.¡± She hurriedly denied. ¡°Then why?¡± He was diposed by her tears. ¡°It¡¯s about my family¡­¡± "Say it." Xia Xingchen muttered to herself for a while and then said, ¡°Just now my stepmother called me¡­ She said that my dad is confirmed to be infected with the Wis epidemic. I want to go to the hospital to see him, but¡­ now he is in quarantine, and we don''t know anything about his condition¡­¡± As she said, she was getting more and more sad. Her voice was mixed with sobs, sounding more fragile and pitiable. Bai Yeqing asked, ¡°Do you want to see him?¡± ¡°Yes, but I know it is very difficult¡­ Even Xu Yan is at the end of his resources.¡± His face turned sullen. ¡°You called me twice just for this?¡± ¡°No,¡± She was just trying to ask about her own work, ¡°I wouldn''t want to inconvenience you with such things.¡± She was afraid that she would annoy him. ¡°So, you would rather inconvenience your ex-boyfriend?¡± Bai Yeqing snapped, he sounded rather unfriendly. Xia Xingchen shook her head, ¡°I didn''t ask Xu Yan for help. I have intended¡­¡± She paused for a moment and said, ¡°I¡­ have intended to ask Yu Zenan. He must have a way¡­¡± Bai Yeqing frowned, and when he spoke again, his tone was like covered with ice, ¡°It seems that you have made up your mind to ignore my words!¡± Damn it! Is this woman deliberately provoking him? She actually did not ask him to help, but go to find Yu Zenan?! Or, in her eyes, Yu Zenan and Xu Yan are her own people, and he is just an outsider?! The more Bai Yeqing thought about that, the angrier he got. For a time, even his breathing got much heavier. Xia Xingchen said, ¡°I am not ignoring your words¡­ just because there is no better way. I¡­ don¡¯t want to trouble you.¡± Bai Yeqing was furious now. He gnashed his teeth and said, ¡°Who told you this is a trouble? You said you don''t want to bother me, but you turn to bother Xu Yan and Yu Zenan ¨C Xia Xingchen, if you owe them a favor, what are you going to pay backter?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen was speechless. She was already anxious, while his question even pushed her at her wit¡¯s end. ¡°You focus on work first, I will call youter.¡± Bai Yeqing continued in a serious tone, ¡°if I know that you find Yu Zenan again, you will be at your own risk!¡± ¡°¡­I know, I won¡¯t find him.¡± Xia Xingchen bit her lip and agreed. If she pisses off Bai Yeqing, she might not be able to see her father even if she asks Yu Zenan for help. But¡­ If he doesn''t allow her to contact Yu Zenan just because of political hostility, then this man is anyhow too overbearing! Bai Yeqing didn¡¯t say anything more and hung up the phone. Xia Xingchen contemted and called Li Lingyi back, asking thetter to wait patiently. In the other side. Li Lingyi took the call and quickly reported the situation with her mother-inw, ¡°Mom, Xingchen just let us wait and see, there may be news soon.¡± ¡°Is she sure?¡± Asked the olddy. ¡°She did not say that.¡± Xia Xingkong said, ¡°In my opinion, Xingchen just said that thoughtlessly. Xu Yan is working in the president¡¯s office, and the people he deals with are all powerful persons, but Xu Yan still has no way, how can elder sistere up with a solution?¡± Xu Yan by her side remembered that day at the Course, Xingchen was with Yu Zenan, he felt bitter. After a while, he said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, now that Xingchen said that there will be news soon, she won''t let us down.¡± He tried to speak for Xia Xingchen, and his words obviously showed his trust in her ability. Xia Xingkong was not happy, but she was smiling and pretended to ask casually, ¡°Xu Yan brother, you still contact each other privately?¡±
Thanks for LH''s help, with her, I could be able to increase the updatester, thank you sweetie~ :3 Chapter 51 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: LH
¡°¡­ No.¡± When Xu Yan said that, the light in his eyes got dim. Xia Xingkong gritted her teeth as she felt even more indignant. Does Xu Yan still have affection towards Xia Xingchen? No! She will never allow this to happen! ¡­ ¡­ After hanging up the phone, Bai Yeqing directly asked Leng Fei to drive him to the hospital, while he made a call to Fu Yichen. "How is the research on anti-Wis drugs?" Fu Yichen replied, ¡°It¡¯s still under research, however, we made breakthrough progress just an hour ago. I am preparing the material to report to you.¡± "How long will it take to produce this drug?" ¡°It will take at least a month.¡± Bai Yeqing replied seriously, ¡°Hurry up, patients nearly run out of time.¡± ¡°Okay, we will do it immediately.¡± "Xia Guopeng, he is thetest patient, right?" Bai Yeqing asked. ¡°Yes. But I''m too busy, I didn''t have the time to see him yet.¡± ¡°Make an arrangement for me, I''m going to pay all the infected patients a visit.¡± It was already in his schedule to visit the patients, to give them encouragement and let them feel at ease. Now he was just going ahead of schedule. Fu Yichen is worried, ¡°You want to visit them now? But the virus is still very active, I''m afraid it''s too dangerous¡­¡± ¡°Your medical staff are on the front line. As the leader of the country, I can¡¯t behave like a coward. Set the schedule as soon as possible!¡± Fu Yichen knows his resolute character. So he didn''t go on persuading him but said yes, then hang up the phone. ¡­ ¡­ Xia Xingchen received a call from Leng Fei, he asked her to go directly to Beswell Hospital. She informed Li Lingyi and then asked for emergency leave from her department head. When the taxi she was in reached the hospital, Li Lingyi, her grandmother, Xia Xingkong, and Xu Yan were already there. ¡°Xingchen, do you really have a solution?¡± As soon as she got off the taxi, the olddy''s trembling body had already greeted her. ¡°Yes.¡± Xia Xingchen nodded, but Xia Xingkong looked at her suspiciously, "Howe you manage to find a solution? Wouldn''t wee here in vain?" ¡°Everyone¡¯s here, and there¡¯s no better way, so just trust Xingchen.¡± Xu Yan chipped in inly, but his words obviously stood up for Xia Xingchen. Xia Xingchen looked at him unconsciously, and he was staring at her too. His eyes were full ofplex feelings, which reminded her of what he said to herself in Gomes Golf Course that day, and now she still felt a little embarrassed. So, just one look at each other, she pretended to look away casually first. Suddenly¡­ Beswell Hospital¡¯s Dean''s and other medical staff rushed out and formed a line at the entrance. ¡°The President will arrive soon!¡± The Dean announced loudly. ¡°Everyone tidies up and cheers up. The President is very concerned about this epidemic, and we should also wee Mr. President¡¯s visit and inspection with the best mental outlook. ¡°Yes!¡± Everyone answered in chorus, and their voice was tremendous. Xia Xingchen was surprised that Bai Yeqing would be there himself. As soon as Li Lingyi heard that the president wasing, she was curious to look around, ¡°Xingkong, they are talking about Mr. President, right? I¡¯ve only seen him on TV before. Are we going to see him live today? ¡°Yes, Exactly.¡± ¡°What a surprise! Wee here at the right time, we can even see Mr. President!¡± Li Lingyi was excited like watching stars. As soon as she finished speaking, several bodyguards took the lead and stood on both sides of the street, forming a safety barrier, which kept the crowd away from the outside. And then¡­ The motorcade came slowly. There were six cars in total. Xia Xingchen first saw Leng Fei, and then was Bai Yeqing surrounded by the crowd. It was a rare sunny day, he is still so charming like the moon escorted by stars. ¡°Good afternoon, Mr. President!¡± ¡°It¡¯s dangerous inside. Be careful!¡± ¡°You look thinner. Take care of yourself!¡± ¡°Have you had lunch?¡± These enthusiastic and kind-hearted people surrounded him with barely suppressed excitement. Xia Xingchen was shoved away by the crowd, and on several asions, she almost fell down. She looked up at him, they were actually very close ¨C he was less than ten meters away from her. But¡­ it was an impassable distance¡­ Across the vast sea of people, he stood in the supreme position, while she seemed more and more insignificant. The longer she looked up at him, the more she felt that the man was unreachable¡­ The crowd kept pushing and shoving, and she almost fell down. ¡°Be careful!¡± Xu Yan put his hand on her waist and looked at her anxiously, ¡°have you sprained the ankle?¡± His palm was very hot. With his help, Xia Xingchen barely put herself up, and when she looked up again, she happened to catch his concerned eyes, feeling a little bit embarrassed. She shook her head. ¡°I''m OK.¡± At this moment, Xia Xingchen felt someone was staring at her back. She looked back, and Xia Xingkong¡¯s grieving eyes seemed to cut a hole in her body. Remembering what Xu Yan said to herself in the Course that day, she unconsciously stepped back to stay away from Xu Yan. ¡°Xingkong, look! Mr. President seems to be looking at us!¡± Li Lingyi shouted with excitement and pulled her daughter¡¯s hand. Everyone looked back at Mr. President. Xia Xingchen looked precisely into his eyes ¨C deep andplex. He turned to Leng Fei to whisper a few words, and then drew back his sight, walked forward without pausing. Xia Xingkong''s attention was all put on Xu Yan. She went over and grabbed Xu Yan, saying indignantly, ¡°Now the President is here, let alone the istion wards, we can¡¯t even enter the hospital! Sister, if you can¡¯t help, just tell us straight. Don¡¯t waste our time here. Grandma¡¯s health is not good, if someone shoves her to fall down, can you take responsibility for it? Li Lingyi felt that her daughter¡¯s words were reasonable, so she continued, ¡°That¡¯s it. I have pinned my hope in you, but it looks foolish now. I should have thought of it earlier, even Xu Yan couldn¡¯t help with it, how could you? But¡­ When Li Lingyi finished, the crowd was suddenly separated by several ck-coated bodyguards. Next, Fu Yichen came slowly from the separated way and walked straight to Xia Xingchen. ¡°Miss Xia.¡± He greeted her politely. Everyone turned to look at Xia Xingchen with inquiring and envious eyes. Although few people knew who Fu Yichen was, so many of the president¡¯s bodyguards clear the way for him, he wouldn''t be an ordinary person. And what about this young girl? Even Fu Yichen was so polite before her, so she must be even more unusual!

Chapter 52 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: LH Hi, my dear readers, thest few days I have been fighting with bad flu, so the updates of GMMP, EP and TACOTP won¡¯t go on as usual, thanks for your support and patience. Still, special thanks to LH for bettering this chapter, now enjoy~
¡°Doctor Fu, can I enter the hospital?¡± Xia Xingchen asked. ¡°Certainly! I was ordered to invite Miss Xia in particr. Come with me!¡± Fu Yichen gave a ''please'' gesture. ¡°Then my families, they¡­¡± ¡°We naturally dare not neglect Miss Xia¡¯s families. Come with us, please.¡± On the other side, Li Lingyi and Xia Xingkong looked at each other, and they couldn¡¯t believe it. Xia Xingkong was quite surprised and was unpleasant about not being taken seriously. She couldn''t help shifting her eyes between Xia Xingchen and Fu Yichen. And then¡­ In front of everyone, they were escorted by bodyguards and followed Fu Yichen in. Li Lingyi felt verycent, she thought they looked like prestigious officials being promoted at royal court in ancient times. Xingchen guided the olddy and held her arm, she was a sophisticated olddy, so naturally she knew that ordinary people couldn''t be allowed entrance due to the current situation. She whispered to Xia Xingchen, ¡°What does your friend do?¡± ¡°He¡¯s a doctor.¡± ¡°A doctor can have the right to let us in?¡± The olddy obviously didn¡¯t believe it, ¡°Xu Yan has connection with lots of senior officials but they are still powerless to help. Besides, Mr. President is here now. In this special case, who dares to bring us in without Mr. President¡¯s permission?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen looked at Fu Yichen''s back and considered what to say to muddle through this topic. But unexpectedly¡­ After entering the quiet hospital, Fu Yichen paused and said, ¡°Miss Xia, if you are not afraid of danger, then go and change aseptic protective suit. Mr. President invites you to join him in the istion wards.¡± ¡°Of course I¡¯m not afraid of that.¡± Xia Xingchen replied immediately. He could expose himself in the most dangerous ce to pacify all patients, how could she be timid? Besides, her father was there. ¡°Well, Doctor Fu¡­¡± Before the talk between Fu Yichen and Xia Xingchen was over, Li Lingyi immediately chipped in, ¡°I¡¯m not afraid neither. Can I go to the ward with Mr. President?¡± It¡¯s a respectable thing to be able to stand with Mr. President and maybe this scene will appear on TV. Li Lingyi thought, when she goes back she can show off to her friends. But¡­ Fu Yichen shook his head immediately, "Sorry, Mr. President only invited Miss Xia. As for the others, you can go to the surveince room to see Mr. Xia¡¯s situation." ¡°Only invited Miss Xia?¡± Li Lingyi nced at Xia Xingchen and then at her daughter, "there are two ''Miss Xia'' here, you¡¯re not mistaken, are you? I think the person who Mr. President has invited must be her, she¡¯s Miss Xia, too. As speaking, Li Lingyi pushed Xia Xingkong forward, ¡°Open your eyes and see, she is much more beautiful and elegant than Xia Xingchen!¡± In her eyes, her daughter is thousands of times better than Xia Xingchen! How could Mr. President invite Xia Xingchen instead of her baby? ¡°Really? Forgive my bad eyes, but I really can''t see that.¡± Fu Yichen replied indifferently, ¡°I think in the eyes of Mrs. President, Miss Xia Xingchen is the better one.¡± He mentioned ''Xingchen'' clearly. After that, he turned and went on without looking at Xia Xingkong. Xia Xingkong¡¯s face turned red at the moment as she felt being humiliated. And Li Lingyi¡¯s hallucination suddenly became extraordinarily funny. ¡°What¡¯s the big deal, he''s just a doctor! How can he think of himself as the president!¡± ¡°Enough, look at what you''ve done, you made Xingkong lose face for nothing.¡± The olddy scolded, Xia Xingkong also pulled out her hand and silently stood behind Xu Yan. Li Lingyi''s face turned gloomy immediately, but she also stared at Xia Xingchen with hatred: all the limelights are given to this woman! Why?! ¡°Grandma, I will go first.¡± Xia Xingchen had long been ustomed to Li Lingyi¡¯s personality, so she ignored her but said to the olddy, ¡°you go to the surveince room, I will tell Dad that you are all here.¡± ¡°OK.¡± The olddy held her hand tightly, ¡°you must tell your father not to lose heart. Everything will be alright, you know? We are all with him!¡± The olddy spoke with a lump in her throat and tried to fight back tears. ¡°I will, you can rest assured.¡± Li Lingyi doesn''t want to talk to Xia Xingchen, but now she also has something to ask Xia Guopeng. She hesitated again and again, finally went forward and smiled at her, ¡°Xingchen, when you see your fatherter, you must ask him the bank card password. Since he left, we couldn¡¯t even get a penny out of the bank.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen was speechless. So this is the reason that Li Lingyi has been so anxious? She simply ignored Li Lingyi and followed Fu Yichen to the changing room. ¡­ ¡­ As soon as she left, the olddy and others were invited into the surveince room. Li Lingyi started again, ¡°What''s wrong with Mr. President? Even if he wants to pick a family member to visit the patients, he should pick the appropriate one, right? How can Xia Xingchenpare with our Xingkong? On the other side, the olddy did not speak and seemed to be meditating. Xia Xingkong felt ashamed and could not helpining angrily, ¡°Mom, can you stopparing me with Xia Xingchen? It''s so annoying!¡± Xia Xingkong seldom got angry, especially when Xu Yan was present. So Xu Yan turned around and looked at her in surprise. The inquiring eyes made her feel chilled, she hastily restrained her capriciousness and regained her tender and gentle appearance in front of Xu Yan, speaking to Li Lingyi, ¡°Mom, sister has always been better than me, I can¡¯tpare with her.¡± Xu Yan still looked at her eyes, as if he was going to see through her. Xia Xingkong became nervous. At this moment, the olddy drew Xu Yan¡¯s attention away. ¡°Xu Yan, you work in the presidential office. Have you ever noticed that Mr. President and Xingchen¡­¡± Xu Yan felt bitter as he knew what the olddy wanted to say. Li Lingyi immediately interrupted the olddy with a sour voice, ¡°Mom, you¡¯re joking! Mr. President and Xia Xingchen? No way. Besides, Mr. President invited family members is to promote on TV, Xia Xingchen was simply chosen out of luck." Subconsciously resisting the possibility that the olddy had been thinking, Xu Yan said, ¡°Yes, I agree with aunt Li. As far as I know, there is absolutely no private contact between His Excellency and Xingchen.¡± Chapter 53 Trantor: Sweet Bun Unedited
If they knew each other in private, they should have said hello thest time they met on the Court. ¡°You see!¡± Thinking she was right, Li Lingyi was quitecent and gave a long sigh of relief at the same time. How could she allow Xia Xingchen to exceed her Xingkong? ¡­ ¡­ When Xia Xingchen arrived at the door of the dressing room, a number of people in ck were guarding both inside and outside. She pushed the door and went in, then found Bai Yeqing was dressing the protection suit. She was in a dilemma at this moment. The President was changing clothes inside. Should she keep going or step back? Suddenly he looked sideways and said, ¡°Come in.¡± After that, he nodded at the medical worker beside him, and thetter immediately took out another set of protection suit, ¡°Miss Xia, this is for you.¡± ¡°Thank you.¡± ¡°You go out first.¡± Bai Yeqing spoke, and everyone stepped back one after another. In a short while, only she and Bai Yeqing were left in the dressing room. She looked at him with gratitude, but he just said, ¡°Put on your suit first.¡± So she put on the suit as he said. Bai Yeqing took a look at her and then walked towards her. He stopped before her and raised his hand. When his long fingers nearly touched her neck, she was suffocated and stepped back unconsciously. Bai Yeqing frowned. ¡°Come over!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen bit her lips and stared at him. Two times, she was almost¡­ eaten by him, so she was somewhat afraid of him¡­ He squinted, "You want to thank me in this way?" Xia Xingchen pouted, though unwilling, she still walked over obediently. Bai Yeqing took a nce at her, reached for her cor and tightened it. It turned out that¡­ He just wanted to help her dress¡­ Xia Xingchen looked up at him. Even though he was wearing a bulky protection suit, he still looked so charming. Especially when he was looking down to check her suit, her heart was pounding and mixed feelings were surging. Suddenly she said, ¡°Thank you.¡± Two light and gentle words, like the white clouds flying in the sky. Bai Yeqing raised his eyes to look at her, ¡°Are you afraid?¡± She shook her head at once. ¡°No.¡± She felt very safe with him by her side. He is like the sky that will never fall, the mountain that will never copse. ¡°Put on the mask and gloves.¡± Bai Yeqing said, hanging the mask on her face. His movements were not gentle at all, but when his fingers wiped her cheeks, she felt that her whole body, together with her heart, was going to melt. He warned, ¡°After wee in, no matter what happens, don''t take off the mask and gloves!¡± His voice is very domineering and overbearing. Xia Xingchen felt a little sweet in her heart and smiled, ¡°OK, I¡¯ll listen to you.¡± Bai Yeqing was quite satisfied with her obedient attitude. After ncing at her two more times, he put on the mask as well. Xia Xingchen suddenly took off the mask and said, ¡°I actually have to thank you for another thing.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°It''s about my job¡­¡± Xia Xingchen said softly, with gratitude in her eyes. When Xia Xingchen mentioned this, Bai Yeqing snorted coldly, ¡°I made an unnecessary move! You are indeed good at attracting men. Having Yu Zenan as your protector, there''s no need of me." Instead of getting angry with him, sheughed, ¡°It¡¯s no big deal. I¡¯ll cook another meal and make amends to you. All right?¡± She remembered what Xia Dabao had said to her on the phonest time. No wonder he always thought she was to cook and entertain him that night. ¡°Who cares? The cooks at home are very good." The same treatment as that man; moreover, he was not the first one to have it, so he was afraid that he would choke on the meal. ¡°Then what do you care about?¡± Bai Yeqing meditated for a while and looked at her. Then something came to his mind, and his eyes gradually became scorching. Her heart was trembling at the sight of him, and then he said in a hoarse whisper, ¡°What I want is more than a dinner¡­¡± The man¡¯s eyes were so vague that she suddenly felt hot and dangerous. She immediately turned around and walked out, ¡°Now that we¡¯re dressed, let¡¯s go out!¡± After that, without pause, she pulled the door quickly, but she could still feel the scorching eyes behind her. Her heart was like a beating drum. Bai Yeqing watched her running away with amusement. He suddenly felt it interesting to y with her. ¡­ ¡­ There were many patients living in the istion wards. Bai Yeqing was surrounded by officials, medical staff and the official media. Xia Xingchen, as a family member of the patient, followed in thest row. After entering the ward, Bai Yeqing talked with patients sincerely. When shaking hands with patients, he would take off gloves in particr. Xia Xingchen¡¯s heart was hung up her throat. She stood in the back, remembering that he had warned her not to take off the mask and gloves under any circumstances, she was eager to put on the gloves for him, but¡­ She couldn''t do that¡­ In front of the crowd, all she could do was look up at him¡­ Moreover, when the national was in danger, he, as the President, should always not care about his own life or death. When they arrived at an istion ward, everyone stopped. Fu Yichen looked sullen, ¡°Your Excellency, this istion ward holds the newly-admitted case. Now the virus of the patient is still highly infectious, so we suggest that you do not go in for the time being.¡± Bai Yeqing didn''t respond, but looked back at Xia Xingchen. Xia Xingchen was anxious to see her father, but she didn''t want Bai Yeqing to take risks with her. Originally, she had only intended to ask him for help, and she really didn''t expect that he woulde here in person! ¡°Doctor Fu, Your Excellency, it¡¯s dangerous inside. Let me go in alone.¡± Xia Xingchen took a few steps forward and stopped beside Fu Yichen. Leng Fei also said, ¡°Your Excellency, please,e back two dayster.¡± Bai Yeqing nced at her, meditating. The next moment, he ordered, ¡°All of you, step back. You don¡¯t have to follow me into this ward.¡± Leng Fei instantly understood his intentions, and he immediately rejected, ¡°Your Excellency, it''s very dangerous. You still have a lot of political affairs to deal with¡­" ¡°You go out too!¡± Bai Yeqing interrupted Leng Fei directly, and his tone sounded decisive and irrefutable. Leng Fei looked at Fu Yichen, implying that Fu Yichen also said something. While Fu Yichen had no choice but to say, ¡°Let¡¯s go, Miss Xia, you stay here.¡± Chapter 54 Trantor: Sweet Bun Unedited
After a while, the others all left. They were the only two left in the corridor. Just before he was unreachable, but now he got so close to her¡­ ¡°What are you waiting for?¡± He took a look at her. Xia Xingchen shook her head and said. "I''ll go alone. You can wait outside. It¡¯s so dangerous¡­" All of a sudden, Bai Yeqing stretched out his arm and held her hand in a natural way. His hand wrapped around her slender hand, and the warmth prated the skin on the back of her hand, directly rushing into her heart. Her heart was pounding faster. At the same time, she felt quite nervous. She was like stepping on the edge of clouds, free but also like treading on thin ice; once idents happened, she would fall down into pieces. ¡°Don¡¯t do this¡­¡± She subconsciously tried to pull her hand out of his. At the same time, she looked up at the camera cautiously, ¡°There are a lot of cameras in the hospital¡­¡± ¡°Save your words!¡± Bai Yeqing pushed the door of the ward open and led her in. Xia Xingchen stared at his broad shoulders and a mixed emotions aroused in her heart. This man had a distinguished status, and in his every trip, he would be guarded strictly. Undoubtedly, his safety and health were extremely important to his entire team. But now¡­ He knew how dangerous inside the ward was, but he was willing to take risks with her¡­ ¡°We have entered the ward now, why are you still dazed?¡± Bai Yeqing pushed Xia Xingchen¡¯s forward, ¡°go ahead, you only have ten minutes.¡± Xia Xingchen looked back at him, and her eyes were full of gratitude. Then she looked to Xia Guopeng, who was lying in bed. Xia Guopeng also saw her daughter at this moment but he couldn''t believe his eyes. He suddenly sat up from his bed and said with excitement, ¡°Xingchen!¡± ¡­ ¡­ At the same time. In therge surveince room, four people were treated as guests of honor. ¡°Ah¡­ How could this happen?" Li Lingyi stared at the screen with disbelief on her face, ¡°how could Mr. President hold Xia Xingchen¡¯s hand?¡± Hearing her words, the other three also looked to the screen. The olddy was meditating, while Xu Yan looked gloomy as his eyes were dim without light. For a long time, they fixed their eyes on those tightly-sped hands on the screen. Although they couldn''t hear what they were talking about, they all found this scene quite appealing¡­ Xu Yan felt bitter and chest-tightened. Maybe the olddy was right, Xingchen and Mrs. President¡­ But how could it be possible? They were clearly people from two different worlds! Xia Xingkong red at the screen, her eyes were as sharp as a sword. She refused to believe that their country¡¯s President would walk hand in hand with that ordinary Xia Xingchen who even had a son! There must be some special reason for that! Yes! There must be! She muttered to herself and finally calmed down by self-constion, but when she peeked at Xu Yan¡¯s sad eyes, the fire of jealousy started burning in her heart again! ¡­ ¡­ ¡°Dad!¡± Xia Xingchen felt sad when she saw her father¡¯s bony appearance. As she walked to the bedside, her eyes were immediately brimmed with tears. ¡°How can youe in here?¡± Xia Guopeng¡¯s withered hand held hers excitedly. He was so ill that even his voice was trembling. ¡°He brought me in.¡± Xia Xingchen sat down beside the bed and turned back. Bai Yeqing looked into her tearful eyes, walked slowly over and stood in front of the bed. ¡°Mr¡­ Mr. President?¡± Xia Guopeng stared at the man incredibly, thinking he could have blurred vision because of the infection. But after wiping his eyes, he found it was really Mr. President!! Bai Yeqing nodded slightly and pacified him, ¡°Mr. Xia, don¡¯t worry too much. The scientific research institutes have made great breakthroughs and effective drugs will be produced soon.¡± His words were simple but carried a natural power to calm people down. After hearing his words, Xia Xingchen felt quite relieved, she held Xia Guopeng in her arms, ¡°Dad, you heard that. Don''t give up, you must keep your spirits up. Grandma, Xingkong and others are still waiting for you.¡± Xia Guopeng also hugged her daughter tightly. His hands identally removed the mask on her face, and the mask fell into the garbage can beside them, but Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t notice it at all. Bai Yeqing frowned but didn''t say any words. When the father and daughter had finished speaking, she got up and found his fierce eyes. She was already with a heavy heart, and when seeing his cold eyes, her felt more grieved, the tears she just held back almost gushed out again. What¡¯s wrong with him? ¡°How did I warn you?¡± Bai Yeqing bit his teeth, asking and taking off his mask. ¡°I have only ten minutes.¡± Xia Xingchen checked her watch, ¡°but I just used a few more dozen seconds.¡± ¡°You won¡¯t have another chance toe here!¡± Then he put the mask on her faceyer byyer, and Xia Xingchen could see his angry face. She was shocked. That¡¯s why he behaved so aggressive. The grievance suddenly dispersed, and mixed feelings surged out of her heart, her eyes blushed immediately. She subconsciously tried to remove the mask. ¡°You try it!¡± He scolded, staring fiercely at her. She stared at him and refuted, ¡°This is yours! You put it on!¡± Bai Yeqing grabbed her hand, showing no gentless. He lowered his voice and said, ¡°Don¡¯t make trouble anymore! If you are infected with the virus, I¡¯ll throw you out of the house, and then you will never see your son again!¡± His voice was so low that only the two of them could hear. His tone was so fierce and full of threats, but¡­ She didn''t hate it at all. Instead¡­ Her heart was suffused with unspeakable warmth and uncontroble emotions¡­ ¡°Then¡­ What if you get infected?" Xia Xingchen was nervous. ¡°I¡¯m not as weak as you are!¡± On the one side, Xia Guopeng couldn''t see them clearly, but with his blurred vision, he could still feel that there was something unusual between the two. His daughter and Mr. President¡­ Are in rtionship?! This is¡­ Impossible! Xia Guopeng couldn¡¯t believe his eyes, but this scene was authentic, especially the way Mr. President looked at Xingchen ¨C she was special to him¡­ ¡­ ¡­ After seeing her father, Xia Xingchen felt much better.
Sigh¡­ They do care about each other, why still resist on suppressing their affections? This must be a total slow-romance¡­ (??¤Ø??¨p) Chapter 55 Trantor: Sweet Bun Unedited
She took off her mask and protection suit and came out of the istion ward area. The olddy and others were waiting for her in the lounge. A staff led her to meet her family, and she found everyone put on different faces. Especially Xu Yan¡­ His eyes were so deep and dark, like being covered with ayer of dust. Xia Xingchen intentionally ignored him and went directly to the olddy, ¡°Grandma, don¡¯t worry, Dad is in good condition. Besides, as Mr. President said, the medicine will be produced soon, by then Dad will be cured. ¡°That¡¯s good.¡± The olddy nodded reassuringly. Li Lingyi said sourly, ¡°Xingchen, you really didn''t waste your time messing up with those lousy men. Some unmarried pregnant women like you are just different from ordinary girls, you can hook up any kind of man as you like. I just don¡¯t know what will happen if the men seduced by you know you¡¯ve been so dissolute before. Xia Xingchen immediately realized what was going on now. There were so many CCTV in that ward, and obviously, they had witnessed everything¡­ Not only she knew that Bai Yeqing''s caring about her, but they also observed that. Xia Xingchen knew what the purpose of Li Lingyi was, she then smiled more brilliantly, ¡°Speaking of these, you are much more experienced than me, aren''t you? My Dad knows everything about your past, but he''s still on your hook, isn''t he?¡± ¡°You!¡± Li Lingyi felt awkward, she didn''t expect Xia Xingchen to mention what she had done in the past. When she turned to the olddy, sure enough, thetter''s face looked as cold as ice. The olddy had long since been unsatisfied with Xia Guopeng''s remarriage, so these years, Li Lingyi behaved modest and pleased her with ptrap, then the tension between the two finally eased a little. Now Xia Xingchen mentioned the past again, the olddy would naturally be unhappy. Li Lingyi would have wanted to refute Xia Xingchen''s usation, but someone suddenly pushed the door open. When they looked to the door, they were all shocked. Bai Yeqing stood in the doorway like a superstar, even if he had done nothing, the light of his eyes already made people feel difficult to breathe. As if they would submit to him at once. ¡°Mr. President.¡± Xu Yan was the first to break the silence. He took a step forward and saluted Bai Yeqing respectfully. Bai Yeqing nodded in response to Xu Yan, and then he made a gesture to Leng Fei and others to stop behind him while he alone entering and shaking hands with the olddy. ¡°You may rest assured as Mr. Xia will be discharged from hospital soon.¡± ¡°Mr. President, we can be at ease since you said that. Thanks for your concern.¡± ¡°My pleasure.¡± He remained calm as usual. Then, without saying anything more, he was ready to leave. As turning around, he shot a nce at Xia Xingchen. When Xia Xingchen caught his sight, the emotions in her heart burst out. She worried about him so much that she unconsciously reached out and pulled the corner of his suit while he was turning around. Bai Yeqing stopped at once. He turned his head. Then these two people looked directly into the eyes of each other and found ambiguous light sparkling. ¡°What''s wrong?¡± He asked in a t voice. ¡°¡­ If you have any symptomster, you must go to Doctor Fu as soon as possible.¡± The concern in her eyes waspletely exposed. Bai Yeqing raised his brows, ¡°So what symptoms do you hope I will have?¡± ¡°None!¡± Xia Xingchen shook her head and frowned, ¡°I hope nothing bad happens to you!¡± After a long while, he finally whispered, ¡°I see.¡± After that, he didn¡¯t move. And his eyes fell on her hand, which was still holding his clothes. Xia Xingchen then realized that and she let go and put her hands behind. Well, it¡¯s a bit embarrassing. He looked at her again and saw her blushed face, then turned around. At this moment, there seemed to be a trace of smiling on his calm face, which made him very charming. On the other side, Xu Yan watched them with shock. And the other three all harbored their own thoughts. Before they just suspected Xia Xingchen¡¯s rtionship with the president, but now their interactions had verified that! ¡­ ¡­ Xia Xingchen went back to the Foreign Ministry, and Xu Yan drove the other three back home. There were four people in the car, and all of them were contemting except for the olddy. Originally, they knew the condition of Xia Guopeng, met and talked to Mr. President today, all of them should be happy. However, the three of them were extremely upset at this moment. Li Lingyi had wanted to ask for the password of the bank card. Now, she hadpletely forgotten that but only remembered Xia Xingchen and Mr. President exchanging nces and holding hands. When she thought of it, she would feel chest pain. Why is that woman so lucky? ¡­ ¡­ Two dayster. Xia Xingchen had a fever as expected. When the servant woke her up, she was in aplete dizziness and sweat was around her body. When she touched her forehead, she was frightened by the amazing heat. Is this caused by WIS? I am really infected with the virus two days ago in the hospital? ¡°Miss Xia, are you awake?¡± Without hearing anything, the servant knocked on the door again, ¡°you are going to bete for work.¡± ¡°I¡¯m awake.¡± Xia Xingchen responded, then she found her voice be hoarse. She thought for a moment and continued, ¡°I won¡¯t eat breakfast, please go down and tell little master and Mr. President ¨C they don''t have to wait for me, I¡¯m¡­ taking a bath." If it¡¯s really a WIS infection, what she can do now is to avoid contact with them. Besides¡­ She has to move out quickly and have a full physical examination. Bai Yeqing and Xia Dabai didn¡¯t take her excuse seriously and left. Upstairs, Xia Xingchen packed some clothes, put on a mask and hurried down. ¡°Miss Xia.¡± The butler greeted her. Xia Xingchen covered her nose and stepped back cautiously, ¡°Mr. butler, when little masteres back in the afternoon, please tell him that I won¡¯t be back for several days. And please take good care of him for me." ¡°Miss Xia is in a hurry?¡± Seeing her tense look, the butler asked her with concern. She shook her head, then hurried out of the presidential residence. ¡­ ¡­ She immediately rushed to the hospital without stopping. She had a very bad fever, and when she sat on a taxi, everything outside the window looked vague and illusory in her eyes, she couldn''t focus on any specific objects. She got more frightened as the temperature went higher. Chapter 56 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: LH Special thanks to sis LH~ (??¨Œ?)?
Leaning against the back seat, her mind was full of him and her son¡­ She was so afraid, afraid of being sent to the istion ward and unable to see them for a long time, also of¡­ their being infected by her¡­ ¡°Miss, we''ve arrived.¡±The driver''s voice pulled her back from her thoughts. After paying the fares, she got off the taxi with struggle and she could hardly stand on her feet. The hospital is close at hand. It¡¯s torturing to queue up for registration especially with her condition. ¡°Xingchen?¡± When she felt she was about to give up, a familiar voice with concern suddenly sounded. She felt as if she were hallucinating. Xu Yan trotted from 10 meters away. Her eyes were blurred, she tried to answer him. In spite of her dry lips moving, her voice was so hoarse that she could not call his name. ¡°It¡¯s really you!¡± Xu Yan looked at her with worry, ¡°what¡¯s wrong with you?¡± Half of her face was covered by the mask. But he could still recognize her at a nce in the crowd despite the fact that they had broken up for so long. This is amazing. Xia Xingchen shook her head and her body looked a bit shaky. Xu Yan stepped forward and supported her, ¡°Are you OK?¡± ¡°¡­ You¡­ Stay away from me¡­" Xia Xingchen pushed Xu Yan away, ¡°don¡¯t stay too close to me¡­¡± Seeing her condition, Xu Yan frowned and directly lifted her to his chest without saying a word. ¡°Hey! Xu Yan¡­¡± Xia Xingchen struggled, ¡°put me down, I may be infected with Wis!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t talk nonsense!¡± Xu Yan looked down at her and then continued firmly, ¡°if you are really infected, I will apany you.¡± His scorching eyes almost pierced through her heart and she stunned. The next moment, she suddenly got annoyed, beating him with fists, ¡°Stop it! Do you think it¡¯s a cold-like illness? People infected with it may die! Xu Yan, put me down now! ¡° ¡°Save your energy, I won¡¯t let you go!¡± Xu Yan insisted. Xia Xingchen felt warm in heart. She looked up at him ¨C it was the first time that she had been so close to him since they separated five years ago¡­ He has matured a lot¡­ That innocent youth had transformed into a handsome man. He''s such a pretty man who used to be her most beautiful dream¡­ ¡°Fool! If I do infect you, I won¡¯t feel at ease¡­" Her eyes got misty. He looked down at her, pulled the corner of his lips and smiled bitterly, "Xingchen, you know what? Now I think¡­ I can apany you at this moment¡­ is already a luxury for me¡­" His tone was so gloomy and sentimental that she felt her heart twitched a little. At this moment, she was unable to say anything more in his arms. She stopped struggling, looked away and didn''t answer him. ¡°I know a doctor here who happened to be transferred from the fever department recently.¡± Xu Yan continued in a soft voice, ¡°you can rest assured that no matter what the situation is, you will not be alone.¡± ¡°Thank you, Xu Yan.¡± She didn''t want to refuse his kindness anymore. Especially when she was sick and vulnerable¡­ ¡°By the way, why do youe to the hospital? Are you sick? Heughed, ¡°You are concerned about me?¡± Xia Xingchen denied deliberately, ¡°I¡¯m so sick now that I have no energy to care about you.¡± Heughed more happily, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I just have a bad insomnia recently, so Ie here to get some sleeping pills.¡± As a matter of fact¡­ Aftering back from the hospital that day, he hardly closed his eyes these two nights. Once he did so, he would always remember when she was with Mr. President¡­ Every scene would stab his heart. It hurt so much¡­ ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ The hospital is a very troublesome ce. Xia Xingchen was asked to do one examination after another. With a heavy head and feet, she was unable to distinguish the directions. Fortunately, Xu Yan was here to help her. He did a lot of things for her running up and down in the hospital, actually, he was even more nervous than she was. When the nurse was drawing her blood, he patiently patted her back andforted her gently. When she felt thirsty, he would fetch warm water for her but himself was too busy to take a mouthful of water. After all these examinations got done, Xia Xingchen was called into the consulting room by the doctor. Xu Yan asked the doctor first, ¡°How¡¯s it going? Has the resulte out yet?¡± ¡°There is one resulting out two dayster. In these two days, the patient had better stay at home and not go anywhere. Everyone should keep her at a distance." The doctor advised and took a look at Xu Yan, ¡°you too, these few days don¡¯t stay so close to her .¡± ¡°I know that.¡± Xu Yan was afraid that Xia Xingchen would get upset, he looked at her with concern. She pulled her mask tighter and asked in a soft voice, ¡°Doctor, then¡­ With my case, is there a high possibility of infection? ¡°Yes. But now the result hasn''te out, no one can say that for sure.¡± Hearing that, Xia Xingchen¡¯s heart got cold, and the tears was umting in her eyes. ¡°I¡¯ll make a phone call.¡± She spoke to Xu Yan in a low voice, then went out and huddled in a small corner. Xu Yan¡¯s worried eyes followed her. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ First, she called the presidential residence and asked the butler to answer the phone. ¡°Miss Xia.¡± ¡°Mr. butler, please¡­ Sterilize the whole house. Especially in the rooms of little master and Mr. President, don¡¯t miss any corner¡­¡± She spoke in a mute voice. ¡°What¡¯s wrong, Miss Xia?¡± The butler was worried. Xia Xingchen was afraid that the butler would tell Bai Yeqing and Xia Dabai, so she simply said, ¡°Do what I say, remember, don¡¯t miss every corner. I have to make other calls, gotta go.¡± Then she hung up without waiting for the butler to answer. She contemted for a while and opened the phone book, fixing her eyes on the number of "Future Husband". She was really worried about him¡­ Finally, she dialed the number. In fact, she did not hold any hope that he would pick it up, because he¡¯s always so busy¡­ But¡­ This time, after the phone rang three times, he answered the phone. He didn¡¯t take the lead in speaking, but just listened to her breathing from the other end. Xia Xingchen also listened quietly and her eyes became misty without a reason. Chapter 57 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Lady Peridot Special thanks to Lady Peridot, an earnest angle~ ©d(=?¦Ø?=)o
¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Finally, he spoke first. He had always been cautious, so her heavy breathing rmed him. ¡°Nothing¡­¡± She just wanted to hear his voice and know that everything about him was OK. ¡°Nothing?¡± He was suspicious. ¡°Well¡­ Are you all right?" Xia Xingchen asked, ¡°Do you have any symptoms of fever, like feeling dizzy? He finally understood her intention of making this call. Standing at the top floor of White Feather Pce, overlooking his country, and listening to her voice of tenderness and concern, he felt that everything was perfect. He asked her, ¡°You are worried about me, aren''t you?¡± ¡°Yes, I am.¡± Unexpectedly, she admitted immediately. Moreover, she continued in a serious voice, ¡°I¡¯ve been worried about you all the time.¡± Suddenly he found that the depressing autumn scenery outside the window looked very beautiful now. ¡°¡­ Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m all right.¡± He answered in a soft voice, ¡°You have to stay healthy as well, you understand?¡± Xia Xingchen smiled, while the tears were brimming in her eyes. ¡°H¡¯m, we¡¯ll both be fine.¡± He was so busy as Leng Fei knocked on the door to remind him of his next schedule. Xia Xingchen heard it and said sensibly, ¡°Well¡­ I won¡¯t keep you any longer, just go to handle your business." She wanted to sound free and easy, but her hesitant tone betrayed her. If she was really infected, when would she hear his voice next time? Or maybe¡­ She wouldn''t have another chance to hear his voice again¡­ ¡°Okay.¡± He said, ¡°You hang up first.¡± ¡°¡­ Okay.¡± Her voice became softer. She paused for a while, and finally made up her mind to press the hang-up button. ¡°Wait!¡± His voice came from the other end. Stunned, she immediately got back on the phone, ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± ¡°Last time you said you would cook for me. Do you remember?" ¡°¡­¡± Of course! She remembered, but didn¡¯t he explicitly say no? ¡°Tonight, I¡¯ll try to go home early." Bai Yeqing didn''t give her the chance to refuse it, and his voice was as overbearing as ever, ¡°Xia Xingchen, don''t stand me up again!¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Before she could say something, he hung up the phone abruptly. She stared at the screen and wondered when she stood him up. Last time, she wasn''t going to cook for him at all! Wait! This is not the point. The point is, she really can¡¯t go back tonight¡­ Xia Xingchen called him again to change the time. However, no one answered the phone again. She leaned against the wall with the phone in her hand, feeling embarrassed. She can already imagine the scene when he gets furious. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Xingchen.¡± Xu Yan came over with bags of medicines in his hand. She put the phone away. ¡°The doctor said we could go.¡± Xu Yan handed her the medicine, ¡°Take them.¡± She took the medicine and was just about to say ''thank you'', when he lifted her in his arms again. ¡°Xu Yan!¡± ¡°You¡¯re very weak now, so save yourself some energy.¡± Xu Yan said, ¡°The doctor said that if the fever subsides after you take these medicines, it won''t be WIS infection. Don''t worry, you will be okay.¡± Xia Xingchen knew he was coaxing her, but she didn''t want him to worry too much, so she also put on a smile and said, ¡°H''m, I will be okay.¡± Maybe she was really too tired. By the time Xu Yan took her to his car, she had fallen asleep. She was lying quietly in his arms, and her little face blushed because of fever, making her look like a child. Xu Yan stood there, stared at her in his arms, and remembered their past. It was like a dream now, he didn''t expect that one day she would be so close to him¡­ He hoped that time would freeze forever at this moment¡­ And then she would always be in his arms¡­ Even if she had a fatal sickness, he was willing to take care of her all his life. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ When Xia Xingchen woke up, she was lying in a strange bed of a strange room. Where am I? She was confused and struggled to sit up. And she felt her body sometimes cold and sometimes hot. She tried hard to recall that she went to the hospital and then she met Xu Yan. After that, everything was nk. ¡°Awake now?¡± Xu Yan pushed the door and came in with a cup of warm water. He sat down beside the bed and said, ¡°Take the medicine and go back to sleep for a while.¡± His voice sounded very gentle. She got sober suddenly, "Why am I here?" ¡°You fell asleep, and I didn¡¯t know where to send you, so I only could bring you here for the time being.¡± When he said that, she remembered that she really had nowhere to go these days. Before her condition was diagnosed, she couldn''t go back to the presidential residence. As for the room she used to live in, she had already terminated the contract. ¡°I will go the hotel¡­¡± It was the only solution she could think of. She threw back the covers and got out of bed. However, when her feet touched the ground, she instantly copsed and couldn''t get back up. Xu Yan was distressed to see that, so he picked her up from the ground and ced her in bed. ¡°You can¡¯t take care of yourself in this state. Stay here for the time being.¡± Xia Xingchen firmly refused at once. Concerning her current rtionship with Xu Yan, it¡¯s better for they to stay as far away from each other as possible. ¡°I don¡¯t want to get you into trouble.¡± She said weakly. The fever was badly affecting her voice. ¡°If you really get WIS, I would have already been infected by you in the hospital. If you go out to the hotel, then you will probably affect more people. I don¡¯t think you want this to happen, do you?" He was right. Xu Yan handed the medicine to her, ¡°All you have to do now is stay here. If you insist on leaving, after you take the medicine and feel better, I won¡¯t stop you.¡± Xia Xingchen looked at him and the medicine in his palm, then took it quietly. The medicine is very strong. After a short while, she fell asleep again. This time, she fell into a deep peaceful sleep. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ On the other side at the presidential office, Bai Yeqing was getting into the car when Leng Fei asked him, "Shall we go back to the presidential residence now?" Bai Yeqing contemted for a while and said, "¡­ Go to the Foreign Ministry." Today they had no schedule of the Foreign Ministry, but Leng Fei was clear about his purpose, so he said nothing and simply told the driver the destination. Chapter 58 Trantor: Sweet Bun Unedited
¡°Let the cars before and after go, they don''t have to follow us anymore.¡± Bai Yeqing ordered. Leng Fei responded and made a call to give amand. Soon, several cars quickly dispersed and joined the flow of cars. After a while, the car stopped. They waited at the street corner, which was still a distance away from the Foreign Ministry. He sat patiently in the back seat and waited, looking at the exit of the grand gate of the Foreign Ministry. It¡¯s still early today, so they should not miss her. However, the driver came out alone. He frowned. The driver got on the car and reported, ¡°Your Excellency, Miss Xia is not there.¡± ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°Miss Xia was on leave today.¡± On leave today? She has always been a dedicated person, so she won¡¯t ask for leave unless it¡¯s urgency. But when she called him today, he didn¡¯t hear her mention anything about that. He remained silent, and the driver was not sure what Mr. President was thinking, so he had to look at Leng Fei. Leng Fei asked Bai Yeqing, ¡°Shall we go back to the presidential residence first?¡± ¡°Go.¡± He only uttered one simple word. This woman is really puffed up; He thought. The first time he came to pick her up in person, she stood him up actually. In short, she always gets some ways to piss him off. Bai Yeqing frowned and yed with his cell phone for a while, and then finally called her. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Seeing she fall asleep again, Xu Yan carefully tucked her in bed and looked at her obsessively, being reluctant to leave. At this moment, her cell phone on the bedside cupboard suddenly rang. Afraid of waking her up, he rushed to get her cell phone and tried to mute the tone. However, when his eyes fell on the screen, he became gloomy all at once. The phrase ''Future Husband'' stuck out like a sword. He really wanted to know who was her ''Future Husband''. Was it Yu Zenan or¡­ Mr. President? His thumb slipped to the answering key without control. However, before he could listen to the other speak, the phone beeped and turned to a ck screen. Her phone was power off. He stared at the dark screen for a long time and then put the phone back in ce. While here in this side¡­ ¡°Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is power off, please redialter!¡­¡± Bai Yeqing held his cell phone and listened to the cold mechanical voiceing from it, his face was getting more and more sullen. He was very angry. And he made several more calls, but each time only that mechanical voice answered him. He now felt a little restless. What the hell is this woman doing? When they arrived at the presidential residence, Bai Yeqing changed his shoes and looked around downstairs with a sullen face. ¡°Where is Miss Xia?¡± He asked the servant. ¡°Miss Xia hasn¡¯te back yet.¡± Hearing this, he almost got a headache. He didn''t know why he would easily get restless today. ¡°Dad, uncle butler said Dabao won''te back today.¡± Xia Dabai was sitting on the sofa, and he raised his head from theic book while talking to Bai Yeqing. ¡°Nonsense!¡± Bai Yeqing didn''t believe it. They had made an appointment that she would cook for him tonight. Last time he waited for a whole night in vain, this time she dared not stand him up again. ¡°It''s true, you can ask uncle butler.¡± The kid replied him with assurance, so Bai Yeqing frowned and looked at the butler dubiously. ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± The gloom and oppression of his face made the butler felt extremely stressed. He lowered his head nervously and whispered, ¡°When Miss Xia went out early this morning, she told me that she would be out for these days, and she also told me to take good care of little master.¡± ¡°Why?¡± His voice sounded as cold as ice. The butler shook his head and answered, ¡°She didn''t tell me why. She simply put on the mask and went away hurriedly with a pale face. By the way, she called me at noon to ask me to disinfect the house. So we spent the whole afternoon sanitizing and just finished." No wonder he could smell a pungent odor. But¡­ Wait! The mask? Sudden disappearance? Disinfection? And¡­ That call she made this afternoon¡­ He already felt something wrong at that time, but he didn¡¯t take it seriously. Bai Yeqing turned to the servant andmanded, ¡°Get Secretary Leng to me!¡± ¡°OK.¡± Seeing his gloomy face, the servant dared not dawdle and rushed out in a hurry. Leng Fei was just about to leave in the car, and the servant called him while gasping, "Wait! Secretary Leng! Wait a minute!¡± He got out of the car at once and asked, ¡°Any orders from His Excellency?¡± ¡°Yes, His Excellency wants you there as soon as possible.¡± Leng Fei hurried to the presidential residence, and Bai Yeqing stepped out with a terrible face. ¡°What happened?¡± Leng Fei asked. ¡°Xia Xingchen is gone! Whatever the way you use, find her out for me right now! ¡° ¡°Roger. I¡¯ll do it now!¡± Leng Fei made a call while walking out. It''s quite easy to find out a person by the intelligencework of NIA(National Intelligence Agency). But one can never use it for personal purposes. Once someone with ill intentions knows that Mr. President looks for a woman in person, he will definitely take this chance to attack Mr. President. At that time, even Miss Xia and little master¡¯s life could be in danger. So Leng Fei had to rely on other resources to find Xia Xingchen. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ At night. Xia Xingchen woke up with the persisting fever, and the sweat soaked her whole body. She got up from bed, went out of the room and saw an open kitchen. Xu Yan was busy in the kitchen. He was well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, so naturally, he was clumsy with cooking. ¡°You awake?¡± Feeling her sight, he suddenly raised his head and hurried out of the kitchen, ¡°Do you feel better?¡± Xia Xingchen wanted to stay away from him for fear of infection. ¡°It¡¯s toote to keep me away now. Don¡¯t worry. You see, I feel good now, right?¡± Xu Yan supported her to the sofa, ¡°Sit down and I¡¯ll take your temperature with a thermometer.¡± ¡°No need¡­¡± Her lips were dry and bloodless. Putting her hands on the sofa, she continued frankly, ¡°I¡¯d better go out and find a hotel to settle down.¡± Xu Yan still wanted her to stay, but she insisted on leaving and he couldn''t persuade her. ¡°Wait for me. I¡¯ll get the car keys and send you out.¡± Xu Yan said and went into his bedroom. Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t want to bother him or infect him, so she took her belongings and went to the door without waiting for him. However, the door was opened by a person outside with the key when her hand reached the handle. When she saw the visitor, she went nk for a moment. Chapter 59 Trantor: Sweet Bun Unedited
The visitor also stunned. The next moment when Xia Xingkong realized it was not her illusion, she screamed, ¡°Xia Xingchen, why are you here?!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen tried to exin, but her throat was dry, and she could utter no word, so she just kept going. But Xia Xingkong already turned pale with anger, and she stopped Xia Xingchen and pped her hard in the face. Xia Xingchen tried to dodge but failed, as she was too weak now. Immediately, Xia Xingchen¡¯s palm-sized face became red and swollen with five noticeable fingerprints. After getting this p, she got more dizzy and her thoughts all scattered. ¡°Xingkong, what are you doing?¡± Xu Yan saw this scene as soon as he came over. He frowned and held Xia Xingchen in his arms. ¡°Let me have a look. Does it hurt?¡± Xia Xingchen struggled to get out of his arms, but he didn''t let her go. He just stared at Xia Xingkong disappointedly, ¡°Xingkong, Xingchen is your elder sister. How can you p her?¡± ¡°Xu Yan-ge*, why do you stick up for her every time? Can¡¯t you see that she harbours unknown intentions to you?¡± (XX-ge: the way a female calls a male to show intimacy or respects.) Xu Yan smiled bitterly ¨C he actually hoped that she would harbour some intentions to him. However¡­ He was the one who harbored unknown intentions¡­ ¡°Wait for me outside. I want to have a talk with you.¡± Xu Yan opened the door to drive Xia Xingkong away. Afterwards, he lifted the dizzy Xia Xingchen in his arms and walked inside. ¡°Xu Yan, I don''t allow you to go! Stop!¡± Xia Xingkong pulled him, and the fire of resentment on her face was burning. One patient, plus two sober people, all didn''t notice the situation outside the door, where someone took a photo of them at this moment. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡°We''ve found Miss Xia.¡± Leng Fei went to the presidential residence and reported to Bai Yeqing with caution. ¡°Where is she?¡± Bai Yeqing stood up by his desk. ¡°¡­ Check this, please.¡± Leng Fei dared not speak more and just handed over his phone, ¡°One of our people just sent this to me.¡± Once Bai Yeqing saw that photo, his face turned icy-cold and his scorching eyes almost prated through the screen. He clenched his fists. The atmosphere inside the study cooled down in an instant, and his overbearing air made it difficult for Leng Fei to breathe. On that picture¡­ Miss Xia was lying in Xu Yan¡¯s arms like a little bird, and they looked just like an ordinary intimate couple. ¡°Then¡­ Are we going to pick up Miss Xia right now?" Leng Fei couldn¡¯t figure out what he was thinking and asked with trepidation after a long while. ¡°Why bother, she looks perfect, doesn''t she?¡± He responded coldly and threw the phone back to Leng Fei, ¡°Go back to sleep, don¡¯t care about her!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Leng Fei caught the phone and came out of the study with doubts. Can Mr. President really ignore Miss Xia? Sure enough, before he left the presidential residence, someone called him. ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Downstairs in the apartment building. Xia Xingkong stared at Xu Yan with tears, ¡°What did you say? Say it again!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. Let¡¯s cancel the engagement¡­¡± ¡°Just for Xia Xingchen? Xu Yan-ge, I refuse! If you are angry with me because I just pped her, I will apologize. I really don¡¯t know she¡¯s sick." Xia Xingkong held Xu Yan¡¯s arm as if grabbing the final straw. Xu Yan took her hand away and said, ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Xingkong. Actually, it has nothing to do with today¡¯s affairs. I''ve been trying to tell you so long ago, but I just couldn¡¯t find an appropriate time. ¡°Xu Yan-ge, you can¡¯t do this to me¡­¡± Xia Xingkong begged him. At this moment, a few strong lights came from far away. They looked over there unconsciously, and the lights dazzled their eyes. And then¡­ Several luxury cars slowly passed the gate of the residential area and stopped before them. Several people in ck showed up, and then someone pulled open the door of one of the cars, Bai Yeqing then got out of the car in a gray overcoat. At night, the cool wind blew and his clothes fluttered. He stood there and looking down at the two people beside him with a domineering manner. Xu Yan was amazed, no, actually he was shocked. ¡°Mr¡­ Mr. President?¡± Bai Yeqing took a nce at him, and his expressionless look made Xu Yan feel oppressed. ¡°She is here?¡± He turned to ask Leng Fei in a low voice. Leng Fei nodded, ¡°Yes, she''s at Mr. Xu¡¯s house.¡± Bai Yeqing again fixed his eyes on Xu Yan, then walked to the elevator. Xu Yan slowly recovered from his shock and said to Xia Xingkong, ¡°I will go upstairs first.¡± After that, he followed the person in front to catch the elevator. Xia Xingkong stood there alone and thought about all these things with jealousy: again, both the President and Xu Yan fight over Xia Xingchen, a woman who has given birth to a child; what on earth does she get can make them both crazy for her? ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ After a while, they arrived at the door. Before Xu Yan took the key to open the door, someone pulled it open. The person inside was already so weak that as if she would copse at any time. He nced at her and his face looked as cold as ever. Xia Xingchen was dumbfounded. She had never expected that he would appear before her now. The shock and excitement in her heartsted only a few seconds. When she thought about her present condition, she covered her mouth and nose with one hand tightly and tried to close the door with the other hand subconsciously. Bai Yeqing stared at her and snapped, ¡°Dare you to close the door!¡± Being shocked by his words, Xia Xingchen paused and looked up at him with misty eyes. Now he seemed to be a fierce tiger, and she was only a little white rabbit under his ws. ¡°Come out.¡± Bai Yeqingmanded. Xia Xingchen walked out slowly as her legs were feeble. Then he directly reached out to pull her into his arms, so she bumped into his chest like a sack. While his strong chest was as hard as stone, so she nearly fainted by this knock. Bai Yeqing covered her forehead with his hand and was shocked by the temperature. He whispered to Leng Fei, ¡°Ask Dr. Fu to take his staff and wait in the presidential residence!¡± ¡°Roger.¡± Leng Fei replied. ¡°Don¡¯t stay so close to me¡­¡± Being afraid of infecting him, Xia Xingchen tried her best to put his hand way. Because of the severe fever, even her slender fingertips got wet from sweating. Without loosening his hand around her waist, Bai Yeqing parted the sweat-soaked hair that covered her half face, then a clear five fingerprints showed. Chapter 60 Trantor: Sweet Bun Unedited
Even Leng Fei by their side was shocked by Xia Xingchen''s appearance. Obviously, someone pped her in the face. ¡°How did you get this?¡± He asked, and the overbearing air around him made people suffocated. Xia Xingchen turned her head away and said nothing. He grasped her chin with one hand and turned her little face to him. In this way, he could see the fingerprints more clearly. She frowned because of pain. He red at her and then turned to Xu Yan and questioned, ¡°Who did this?¡± Until now, Xu Yan, as a bystander, had known Mr. President¡¯s thoughts clearly. Xu Yan himself can do everything for Xingchen, as for this supreme powerful man of this country, he also has never flinched or hesitated before her illness. ¡°Mr. Xu, His Excellency is asking you.¡± Leng Fei reminded Xu Yan. Xu Yan answered, ¡°It¡¯s just a misunderstanding. Xingkong is not as calm as Xingchen, she has always been a little reckless." ¡°Xia Xingkong?¡± Bai Yeqing looked to Xia Xingchen, ¡°His fiancee?¡± He deliberately mentioned the word ¡®fiancee¡¯. Xia Xingchen nodded and said, ¡°H''m.¡± He snorted, ¡°You deserve it! Why y gooseberry!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Both Leng Fei and Xu Yan dumbfounded. They had thought that the President was going to take it out on Xia Xingkong, or at least reim justice for her. But as a result¡­ Xia Xingchen got so angry that even her eyes turned red. She pushed his hand away abruptly. ¡°I simply like ying gooseberry and annoying others. It''s none of your business¡­¡± Xia Xingchen avoided him sideways indignantly and walked out. Bai Yeqing caught up with her in one step. And the next second¡­ Her body was raised up, and then this domineering man lifted her in his arms. ¡°Let me go!¡± ¡°Shut up!¡± ¡°I deserve it, deserve to be pped, and deserve to get ill, so you leave me alone!¡± She rattled in a fit of pique. The more ufortable a person feels, the more fragile he/she is. While he didn''t mean to appease her at all, but said in a cold and dead voice, ¡°You are now a suspect carrying WIS virus, if you run around and get more people infected, I will tie you up with a chain!¡± So¡­ This guy came here to find me just because he is afraid of the spread of the epidemic, right? Xia Xingchen didn''t want to argue with him anymore. In the end, she was like tucked into the car by him. Xu Yan came downstairs with them. After Bai Yeqing settled her down, he walked to Xu Yan. ¡°I''ll give Xia Xingkong one day to apologize to her. Otherwise, the consequences are at her own expense.¡± His voice was so low and deep that only they two could hear it. Then without pausing, he turned to walk to the car. Leng Fei quickly stopped him and said, ¡°Your Excellency, what about getting in another car¡­¡± He had tried his best to be euphemistic. ¡°Don¡¯t be meddling!¡± Bai Yeqing warned him, pulled the door open and got in the limo. He sat on the right and Xia Xingchen on the left. Along the way, they sat face to face; he was in a sulk, and she was also still angry with his just ¡°deserve¡± remarks, so she kept looking outside the window. Bai Yeqing seemed to have no intention of talking to her, just being focused on dealing with his files. ¡°You feel aggrieved at this p?¡± When she thought he would never speak again, he started speaking slowly. Xia Xingchen replied, ¡°I dare not feel aggrieved. You said I deserve it then I do.¡± Her voice was dripping with sarcasm, which annoyed the listener a lot. But Bai Yeqing didn''t get pissed off. He just raised brows and shot a nce at her, ¡°Do you know what kind of ex-girlfriend is the most hateful?¡± ¡°¡­¡± She didn''t want to respond to him. ¡°Just like you.¡± He fixed her with a piercing stare, ¡°How many years have you parted? Why meddling with each other until now?¡± She was surprised that this guy now started to teach her a lesson! And he even did so in such an arrogant way! Xia Xingchen was both upset and angry, ¡°If it weren¡¯t for Your Excellency, how could we break up?¡± ¡°Now you regret and want to retrieve your lover, don¡¯t you?¡± His voice dropped a little. ¡°Of course I regret it.¡± Xia Xingchen looked at him with a stubborn face, ¡°You have said that you get a way to make him marry me, now I am ready, shall we n it now?¡± Bai Yeqing¡¯s eyes were like fierce shooting swords, ¡°I see, one p is not enough to wake you up from your daydreaming.¡± It seemed that he was quite satisfied with this p! She was getting more and more angry and then raged, ¡°Put me down in the front, I won''t go back to the presidential residence with you!¡± Even if she wouldn''t die of illness, she would do so because of anger. ¡°¡­¡± Bai Yeqing simply ignored her words and only nced at her gloomily with his legs ovepped. And his expression was full of disdain and impatience. Xia Xingchen felt particrly aggrieved at this moment. She didn''t want to mess up with Xu Yan at all. If she were in good health and sober, she would have left his house early, then she wouldn''t be pped by Xia Xingkong. Now after Xia Xingkong, he also gives vent to me, why? After all, I haven''t offended him! The more she thought about it, the more irritated she got. Then she made up her mind to reach out to the door. Bai Yeqing frowned, "What are you doing?" ¡°Ask Leng Fei to stop the car!¡± ¡°No one dares tomand me yet!¡± He spoke harshly. Xia Xingchen pushed the door open abruptly. She moved to the door and prepared to jump. Bai Yeqing got so nervous that when the cool wind blew in, he immediately pulled her back with one hand. ¡°Xia Xingchen, you¡¯re dicing with death!¡± He roared with wrath. On his other hand, the documents were hurled out and pounded at the floor with a ''bang''. A sharp piece of paper flew past her face and scratched her ear, so some beads of blood came out. His face was sullen and he stared at her as if he was going to swallow her whole. Her heart trembled while she looked back at him with jittering eyshes. She didn''t know whether she was frightened by his looks or what, her tears gushed out without stopping. ¡°Why crying?¡± His voice didn''t get gentle at all. Today, he was really pissed off by this woman again and again! ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen didn''t say anything but took her hand off his in a fit of pique. When she looked at her wrist, the white skin was now red. What a rude guy. Now they had nothing to say again. She was not that dumb or bold but just wanted to frighten him. She dared not jump from the car, as there were so many cars and it was dark outside. What¡¯s more, although she said that she would not return to the presidential residence with him, she understood that it was just an angry outburst. Chapter 61 Trantor: Sweet Bun Unedited
Where could she go if she didn''t go back to the presidential residence now? What¡¯s more, she was a person who needed to be quarantined. So, they refused to budge all along the way. Until the car had stopped in front of the presidential residence and someone came to respectfully pull the door open, she put on her mask and took the lead to get off. But her legs along with her body were still limp. When the autumn wind blew over, she felt sometimes hot and sometimes cold. Bai Yeqing was still angry, so this time he left her to walk slowly in the manor but didn''t support her. Xia Dabai, who was wearing slippers and pajamas, flew downstairs and called out excitedly, ¡°Dabao.¡± He was like a little angel who was trying to hold Xia Xingchen. She indeed wanted to hold her baby, but she couldn''t. ¡°Dabai, don¡¯te close to me.¡± She frowned and kept retreating as if confronted by a formidable enemy. Bai Yeqing ordered the butler, ¡°Take the young master into the main building! He is not allowed to enter the deputy building these two days! ¡° ¡°Yes.¡± The butler stopped the child directly. Xia Dabai saw his dad and Dabao went to the deputy building together, but he didn''t understand what was going on. Lying in the butler¡¯s arms, he giggled and asked, ¡°Uncle butler, is my dad having a date with Dabao, so I¡¯m not allowed to disturb them?¡± ¡°¡­ Maybe.¡± ¡°They¡¯re supposed to make babies!¡± ¡°¡­¡± The corners of the butler''s lips twitched: This kid¡­ ¡°Dad said that two people sleep together can make a baby. Then I will leave them alone, uncle butler, you should also ask others not to disturb them.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°I want a younger sister, uncle butler, can they make a little sister for me to y with? But what if they make a little brother? I don¡¯t like boys.¡± The butler really wanted to tell him that he thought too much. But looking at this little fellow¡¯s expectant face, the butler became speechless. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ It was very dark in the room as there was no light at all. Xu Yany on his bed with his eyes closed. Even after such a long time, he could still smell her¡­ He breathed hard, trying to find somefort to fill his empty and painful heart. But¡­ The more he did so, the more his heart hurt¡­ She was taken away by Mr. President in his arms, he was just there, but could do nothing¡­ Then she was farther and farther from him¡­ After lying for a long time, he fumbled for his phone on the bedside table and made a call. ¡°Xu Yan-ge, I don¡¯t want to break up with you¡­¡± As soon as Xia Xingkong answered the phone, she started to beg him, crying, ¡°I won''t cancel our engagement¡­ I disagree!¡± ¡°I¡¯ve decided, I¡¯m sorry.¡± Xu Yan¡¯s words sounded so ruthless that there was no chance to retrieve the situation. After a pause, he continued, ¡°Tomorrow, go to apologize to Xingchen, please.¡± ¡°Apologize to Xia Xingchen?!¡± Xia Xingkong was trembling with anger at hisst remark, even her voice was also trembling, ¡°Xu Yan, you''ve gone too far! She took away my man, and she should apologize to me though I will never forgive her! Why should I apologize to her? I would rather die!¡± In the end, Xia Xingkong¡¯s voice became shriller and she more hysterical. Xu Yan had never seen Xia Xingkong behaved like this. He rubbed between his eyebrows and said, ¡°Don¡¯t me Xingchen. It¡¯s all my fault. Xingkong¡­¡± He paused and sat up tiredly, his voice became deeper and lower, ¡°I have never loved you, I am a selfish guy who just wants to find a back-up of Xingchen. However, I found out that¡­ You are twopletely different people¡­¡± Xia Xingkong breathed heavily. ¡°I am sorry, if you are angry, just give vent to me. But Xingchen really has nothing to do with all these matters, so I hope you won''t get mad at her any more." ¡°You¡­¡± Xia Xingkong was too angry to say any words, because Xu Yan took over all the responsibilities to protect Xia Xingchen. ¡°Both of you are shameless! Xu Yan, it''s OK you want to dump me, but you will never be with Xia Xingchen! As long as I have a rough time, you will pay for it!!!" After that, she hung up abruptly. Xu Yan sighed as he watched the screen darkening. He knew it was not an appropriate time to confess his thoughts, but the situation could get worse if he kept hesitating. ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Bai Yeqing took Xia Xingchen to the deputy building and settled her down. After a short while, Fu Yichen took his team came here. The medical team were all in white robes, wearing masks and gloves. Fu Yichen gave Xia Xingchen a basic examination. On the other side, someone was taking Bai Yeqing''s temperature. ¡°Miss Xia, I¡¯ve got all your results in Linchuan Hospital today. From the results avable, we can¡¯t give you an urate diagnosis for the time being. However, no pulmonary infection has been found, so we will treat it as amon cold first." Fu Yichen talked to her while going through the files. ¡°Thank you for your hard work, it''s sote now¡­¡± Xia Xingchen¡¯s voice was weak, with a drop hanging over her arm. ¡°Don¡¯t mention it. These are our job.¡± Fu Yichen said, ¡°Our team will stay here today. If vomiting or other symptoms ur to you at night, ring the bell immediately, OK?¡± ¡°OK.¡± Xia Xingchen blinked as a consent. ¡°Have you eaten any food today?¡± ¡°No, I have no appetite.¡± Hearing her words, Bai Yeqing finally knew why this woman couldn¡¯t even walk steadily. Even a normal person will get feeble if he/she hasn¡¯t eaten for a day, not to mention a patient. ¡°Ask your people to write a menu and send it to the kitchen.¡± He said to Fu Yichen. Fu Yichen nodded. Xia Xingchen shook her head, ¡°I really have no appetite.¡± Bai Yeqing was decisive, ¡°Do as what I said.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen pouted: this man is too domineering. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ The medical team stayed here, while Fu Yichen left soon. Bai Yeqing personally sent him out, leaving Xia Xingchen alone in the room. She remembered that she had to ask for leave from work tomorrow, so she took out the cell phone and found it was already power off. She fumbled and made to charge the phone at the end of the bed, thinking to make a call to Chi Weiyang when it was fully-charged. When she was resting on the pillow with her eyes closed, the phone rang. She then opened her eyes and reached for the phone. Chapter 62 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: LH Special thanks to LH ^.^
At first nce, Xia Xingchen stunned. It was from¡­ Xu Yan. She hesitated for a while, and finally tapped the answering button. ¡°I thought you haven¡¯t turned on your phone yet.¡± Xu Yan¡¯s voice came from the other side. ¡°I just started charging it.¡± ¡°You¡­¡± Xu Yan bit his tongue, ¡°Are you in the presidential residence now?¡± ¡°¡­ H''m.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xu Yan remained silent for a long while and then continued, ¡°You two¡­ are in love?¡± Xia Xingchen was absorbed in the call with Xu Yan, so she didn''t notice that someone pushed the door open. Bai Yeqing walked in, and happened to hear what came next from her. ¡°You get us wrong.¡± She smiled bitterly, "I¡¯m not a fool who will fall in love with the President." Bai Yeqing quietly sat down on the European style sofa beside her, staring at her coldly with his legs ovepped. ¡°Do you like him?¡± Xu Yan asked. Xia Xingchen stared nkly and didn''t answer him. The silence fell. She looked at the needle in her hand while contemting. After a while, she smiled and said to Xu Yan, pretending to be casual, ¡°If I really like him, I must be a super-big fool among fools, right?¡± ¡°Miss Xia, though having a bad sick, you are quite energetic when flirting with your future brother-inw.¡± He spoke abruptly, and his mocking voice reminded her of the ghost of the night. Xia Xingchen was so frightened that she dropped her cell phone under the bed. She turned around and stared at him, asking, ¡°When¡­ When did youe in?¡± ¡°Why, having a guilty conscience?¡± Bai Yeqing picked up her phone from the ground and then looked down at her sullenly, ¡°Why would I have a guilty conscience?¡± Xia Xingchen felt relieved that she didn¡¯t talk inappropriately with Xu Yan just now, otherwise¡­ She bit her lip, ¡°This is my room. Don''t you know how to knock on the door?¡± ¡°It''s a funny joke, when did my presidential residence be yours?¡± Xia Xingchen gave in, ¡°Fine, I won¡¯t quarrel with you. I have no strength now. Give me back my phone. I haven¡¯t finished talking over the phone yet." It was OK to hang up Xu Yan, but she still needed to call Weiyang! ¡°Why, still want to flirt with your sister¡¯s husband? Xia Xingchen, you¡¯re so cheap!" He deliberately stressed at ¡°cheap¡±. He was already somewhat annoyed when hearing she was stillmunicate with Xu Yan, now she even wanted to continue their conversation. Moreover, she had disappeared all day and stayed at Xu Yan''s ce. Thinking of these things, he couldn''t help but blurting out these words. Xia Xingchen jumped out of bed in anger. ¡°I can flirt with anyone as I like!¡± She gritted her teeth, ¡°It''s normal to be cheap in front of true love, and it''s none of your business. Give me back my phone!¡± As saying, she pulled the needle out of her hand and jumped up to grab her phone. Hearing the ¡°true love¡± phrase, Bai Yeqing felt even more irritated. He threw her cell phone on the bed, so she turned around to pick it up. At this moment, his tall body went for her. Xia Xingchen was pressed by him to the bed, and he was so tall and heavy that she was out of breath at once. ¡°Bai Yeqing, what are you doing?¡± She breathed hard and struggled. His behavior frightened her. Bai Yeqing¡¯s strong chest pressed against her tender back. She took a deep breath and didn''t dare to move. This bastard man! Xia Xingchen waspletely muddleheaded now, and she could feel that the breathing of the man pressing on her was bing more and more unstable. We cannot go on like this, it''s too dangerous! Something bad could happen! She blushed and plucked up the courage to yell, ¡°Bai Yeqing, f**k off!¡± Bravo! Bai Yeqing thought, and then pped on her buttocks, warning, ¡°Xia Xingchen, if you move again, I¡¯ll have you now, wanna give it a try?¡± His voice was so deep that it sounded horrifying. Xia Xingchen¡¯s voice trembled, ¡°¡­ You¡­ You rapist!¡± ¡°You''re right! Just give it a try!" ¡°¡­¡± Hooligans! Animals! Bastard! Xia Xingchen only dared to curse him in her heart. She dragged the sheet with her hands, and her palms were soaked in sweat. Sobbing~ Why I will always feel helpless in the face of this fellow? What¡¯s more, he¡¯s not her own man. Why on earth should he be so bullied? ¡°Will you continue to flirt with Xu Yan?¡± Bai Yeqing asked. It was not so much a question as a threat! Xia Xingchen felt piqued as she was helpless right now, but how can she give in easily like this? ¡°It¡¯s my own business¡­ Just leave me alone¡­¡± He really likes to poke his nose into others'' affairs! Bai Yeqing put his hand on her waist and said in a threatening tone, ¡°I¡¯m not satisfied with your answer!¡± ¡°Wait¡­ Wait a minute¡­" Xia Xingchen got panicked. She put her hands behind her to push him away. He then sped her hand with one hand and put it above her head. He leaned over right after, and she happened to turned her head, so they just looked into each other''s eyes. There was ayer of mist in their eyes, under which contained impetuosity and repression. Their emotions seemed to outburst at any time¡­ Xia Xingchen licked her dry lower lip. His pupils grew darker, which looked more dangerous and more sexy. ¡°Wait for what?¡± He gasped while speaking, and his lips intentionally or unintentionally touched her auricle. (He is seducing her, definitely! d(¡ä¦Ø£à*)) There was a small wound on her fair auricle, which was caused by him in the car before. Now it had scabbed. When his hot and wet lips touching it, she felt pain and numbness and tried to dodge. She closed her eyes and tried to adjust her breathing. After a while, she reopened her eyes and looked at him directly, "You always get between Xuan Yan and me¡­ Are you being jealous of him?" Bai Yeqing stared at her with his ambiguous eyes. She couldn''t see through his mind no matter how hard she tried. This man had always been meticulous but moody. It was difficult for her to see through him. Both of them refused to budge, then¡­ The door was pushed open. Chapter 63 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: LH Special thanks to LH~ ??

¡°Miss Xia, here''s your meal¡­ Ah, I¡¯m sorry¡­ I¡¯m sorry, Mr. President. I didn¡¯t know you were here. I¡¯ll go out now!¡± The masked servant came in and was shocked by the scene, so she hurriedly lowered her head and turned to leave. Xia Xingchen flushed red throughout her cheeks as they burned from embarrassment. ¡°It¡¯s all your fault! I''ve lost all my face now!¡± Xia Xingchen was so angry that she kicked him angrily in thep. He no longer bothered her but rolled over and came down from her body in an elegant way. Xia Xingchen was finally able to breathe smoothly, and she quickly got up from bed and hid herself in the quilt like hiding from a beast. She sweated more than before and dared not look at him again. Compared with her frantess, he remained calm and rxed. Even if the servant had just seen them in that situation, he looked as if he was not the person concerned. Bai Yeqing tidied up his shirt and strolled back to the bedside. When his shadow cast upon Xia Xingchen, she subconsciously raised her hand to stop him. At the same time, she stared at him vigntly, as if he would stretch out his ws at any moment. He snorted, ¡°You really like to tter yourself, do you?¡± Xia Xingchen stunned. Bai Yeqing pressed the bell next to the bed, and one of the medical staff immediately answered. He ordered, ¡°Come in and give Miss Xia a new injection. Also, ask someone to bring in the meal.¡± ¡°Roger.¡± The medical staff hung up. Xia Xingchen put her hand down in embarrassment. For a long time, his words were still echoing in her head. ¨C You really like to tter yourself, do you? She felt there was a deep meaning in that remark. He not only judged her unnecessary movement, but also answered her previous question ¨C Are you being jealous of Xu Yan? Xia Xingchen felt somewhat depressed, and when she realized she put up this question so directly, she felt herself ridiculous. Just then, the medical team came in with the servant. Xia Xingchen reached out silently to receive the injection. ¡°Miss Xia, you''d better not touch the needle anymore. Your arms are swollen now.¡± The nurse of the medical team warned her gently. Bai Yeqing was checking the meal that the servant had brought in, when he heard the nurse¡¯sment, he looked sideways at her direction and true enough there was swelling of purple blotches on her arm. Silly woman! Xia Xingchen felt his gaze and stared back at him angrily. If it hadn¡¯t been for him, she wouldn''t have pulled out the needle! But when she turned to the nurse, she looked benign and pleasant, ¡°Okay, I will do as you say.¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Bai Yeqing didn''t stay long in her room. After he left, Xia Xingchen ate dinner alone with chopsticks. These dishes were nd and tasteless. She forced herself to eat a little and then check the screen of her phone, it was quitete. She called Chi Weiyang. Chi Weiyang had fallen asleep, but hearing Xia Xingchen''s voice, she sobered up a little. When she heard that Xia Xingchen might be infected with WIS and had to ask for leave from work, she immediately sat up in bed. ¡°Which hospital are you in? I¡¯m going to see you now. Why didn''t you tell me earlier? You are not alone, right? Chi Weiyang continued while changing her clothes, ¡°Have you eaten any foods, or what do you want to eat? I¡¯ll bring you some.¡± Xia Xingchen was deeply moved, ¡°After hearing your voice, I¡¯m almost recovered.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯m your panacea. Tell me where you are right now." ¡°Sister, thank you for your concern, but don''t worry about me. I¡¯m not in the hospital.¡± ¡°Not in the hospital? You are in the presidential residence?¡± ¡°H''m.¡± Xia Xingchen replied, ¡°I didn¡¯t want toe here, but he caught me back.¡± Chi Weiyang naturally knew that ¡®he¡¯ referred to Mr. President. She sighed, ¡°Envy you! Xingchen, Mr. President is so good to you." ¡°You must be kidding!¡± Remembering the intimidation and humiliation she had just suffered before him, Xia Xingchen couldn''t agree with Weiyang. He¡¯s absolutely terrible! Aplete bastard! ¡°Cut it out, you just don''t appreciate the happy life you enjoy. Think about it, you¡¯re a suspected patient with WIS! If someone else finds you in such a condition, for example, your stepmother, she will have kicked you out early. Then look at our righteous Mr. President¡­¡± Xia Xingchen touched the goose bumps on her arms, ¡°You ttered him.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t interrupt me!¡± Chi Weiyang was in high spirits, ¡°Our righteous and awesome Mr. President not only didn¡¯t drive you out, but also took you back and takes good care of you. Tell me, if he doesn''t treat you well, who does? Xia Xingchen was speechless. She thought about it carefully and objectively, then admitted, ¡°Well, okay, you¡¯re right.¡± ¡°Hey, is it possible that the President has fallen in love with you?¡± Xia Xingchen¡¯s heart skipped a beat at this hypothesis. However, she also remembered his ¡°you really like to tter yourself¡± remark, so she denied anxiously, ¡°¡­ You¡¯re talking nonsense again. How can this happen between us? Besides, he said that he brought me back simply because he doesn''t want me to infect more people. Everything he does is based on his identity as the President, so don''t think about it anymore." ¡°Really?¡± Chi Weiyang was dubious. ¡°I gotta go, I¡¯m tired.¡± Xia Xingchen wanted to stop this topic. Chi Weiyang could feel it, ¡°Okay. I will go to the presidential residence tomorrow. Can I get in?" ¡°¡­ I don''t know. I¡¯ll ask that for youter.¡± ¡°Go ahead, I just want to see my cute boy and visit the presidential residence by the way. ¡°I see, you have ulterior motives!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ The evening drew on. Xia Xingchen fell asleep, but she felt someone hade to pull out the needle from her at night. Then she seemed to have seen Bai Yeqing again. A warm water bag was put on her swollen arm. She tried to open her eyes to see if it was him or she was dreaming. However, she was too tired to do so: well¡­ It cannot be him, right? A bad guy like him won¡¯t be that kind to me! She muttered, turned over andined, ¡°You¡­ You are a big bad scoundrel¡­¡± Bai Yeqing put the fallen hot-water bottle back on her arm and rubbed her swollen arm gently. Listening to herints, his twisted brows rxed as he felt amused.
A hot-water bottle
She was scolding him, but her soft voice couldn''t provoke him, she was like a kitten right now¡­ Bai Yeqing involuntarily reached out and pulled away the hair on her cheek and looked deeply at her delicate little face. Chapter 64 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: LH (Under editing)
Xia Xingchen was not quite sober, but she could feel the warmth brought by his fingertips, so she reached out and grasped his hand. He stunned and breathed more heavily. ¡°Xia Xingchen, release your hand.¡± ¡°¡­¡± She ignored him. ¡°If you continue like this¡­¡± His voice sounded dangerous, and his eyes fell on her lips, ¡°I¡¯m going to kiss you¡­¡± Xia Xingchen, on the contrary, held his hand tighter. So Bai Yeqing leaned over and covered her lips with his. When the soft feeling came from his lips, Bai Yeqing¡¯s heart was likely to be hit by something with force. He had been thinking about kissing her a long time ago! But the servant showed up and yed the gooseberry! Xia Xingchen was in confusion and only felt like a huge stone was pressing on her. But when her lips was forced open by something, she woke up all of a sudden. After struggling to open her eyes, she saw a hot man''s face. Perhaps because of the kiss just now, his eyes were sparkling with tempting light. But before she could think more, this man¡¯s kiss took away her breath. His kissing skills were so good that Xia Xingchen could hardly control herself. She was unable to confront with this man when he behaved overbearing and rude; and now, he was kissing her with profound tenderness, she was even more irrational and could only be immersed in it¡­ Wait a minute¡­ Why were they kissing? Xia Xingchen came to herself and tried to push him away. But he grasped her hands and looked down at her with his scorching eyes as if he was going to devour her. With an unstable breathing and heaving chest, she looked at him worriedly, ¡°You¡­ You may get infected¡­" ¡°You are worried about me?¡± She didn''t deny this time, simply nodded and looked at him anxiously, ¡°What if I really get WIS?¡± ¡°Then we can be locked up together. It won''t be boring to have apanion.¡± He whispered. Xia Xingchen trembled. The next second, the man leaned over to kiss her again. She groaned softly, and after a while, he stopped sucking her lips but didn''t let go of her. He asked in a hoarse tone, ¡°What''s the matter with you and Xu Yan?¡± Before she spoke, he frowned and continued, ¡°If you dare say you¡¯re lovers, I¡¯ll fire him tomorrow¡­¡± Night carried endless ambiguity and tear down the walls of a lot of men and women. Xia Xingchen stared at him, only felt that her heart became soft. ¡°I just identally met him in the hospital¡­ And I didn¡¯t want to go to his house¡­¡± ¡°Still want to marry him?¡± Her eyshes jittered while she spoke in a lighter voice, ¡°¡­ No.¡± She felt as if she was charmed, because she could have lied to him; however, she told the truth. Obviously, he was very satisfied with these answers. The gloom between his eyebrows soon dispersed. He held her chin with slender fingers, ¡°It seems you¡¯re not so stupid.¡± What? When had she been stupid? Abruptly, Bai Yeqing interrupt her thinking with another lingering kiss. Xia Xingchen couldn''t utter one more word: why¡­ is this man so fond of kissing? However, at the end¡­ He released her and returned to his own room, where he took several cold bathes in awkwardness. Damn it! He couldn''t repress the dryness-heat in his body, and his mind was full of her gentle and indulgent look. This woman must be an alluring spirit! ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ The next day. Early in the morning, medical staff kept going in and out, taking temperature, measuring blood pressure and so on. Xia Xingchen slowly woke up. Seeing the water bag by her hand, she couldn''t help thinking about things that happenedst night. Including his kiss¡­ Everything was like a dream, but she felt so real. Is this man a big scoundrel or¡­ He is actually not that bad? Xia Xingchen was quite confused. If he was a good person, he wouldn''t have bullied her before. But if he was a bad guy, as Weiyang said, he must have driven her out early. Besides¡­ She touched the cold water bag and involuntarily smiled. A bad man wouldn''t prepare this for her, would he? ¡°Miss Xia, are you feeling better today?¡± The medical staff asked softly. She sat up from the bed and replied, ¡°H''m, I feel much better. By the way¡­¡± She asked, ¡°How about Mr. President?¡± Last night, the two of them had¡­ If she really had an epidemic, he would certainly have been infected. ¡°Now Mr. President is having a check. Your temperature has temporarily returned to normal, and we can determine your specific condition by getting the results of the examination today.¡± ¡°OK, thank you.¡± Xia Xingchen was still worried, so she got off the bed. ¡°Which room does Mr. President live in? I¡¯ll go and see him." When Xia Xingchen and the medical staff just came out of the room, they heard the rushing footstepsing from another bedroom. Then the door was pulled open from inside by a nurse with a pale face, ¡°Emergency! Notify Dr. Fu quickly!¡± Xia Xingchen¡¯s heart skipped a beat, ¡°What''s wrong?¡± ¡°Mr. President has a fever! A very bad one!¡± ¡°Quickly, push the equipment in and get ready to draw blood! You, call Dr. Fu right away! ¡± The captain of the medical team made arrangements quickly. While those medical staff were busy, Xia Xingchen went nk. If he was really infected by her, she would be guilty! He was now the leader of a country, if he was isted, the consequences would be serious! Not to mention that it would be an international joke, even if the public would be in turmoil! Some people with evil intentions would definitely take the opportunity to make trouble. She pushed the door open and went in anxiously, Bai Yeqing already woke up. He was in a pure white shirt and dark trousers. The cuffs of the shirt were rolled up to his elbows, exposing strong forearms. Two buttons near the neckline were unfastened, giving him azy and sexy look; and because of the fever, there was an abnormal flush on his face. He was sitting on the sofa, reading the mail on hisputer with a tired face. Xia Xingchen frowned when she saw this scene: he even has the mood to work now! ¡°Morning.¡± He nced at her inly and then looked down on hisptop. His attitude changed to the same as before ¨C in and emotionless. Chapter 65 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: LH (Under editing) Special thanks to LH~
Xia Xingchen was now worried about his illness andpletely forgot things that happenedst night, so there was no embarrassment between them. She walked over and naturally put her little hand over his forehead. The temperature shocked her, ¡°You have a terrible fever.¡± ¡°It''s okay.¡± He replied in a t voice. ¡°Dr. Fu will be here very soon, how about¡­¡± Xia Xingchen went away to spread out the quilt and continued, ¡°You take a rest in bed first? you look not good.¡± Bai Yeqing stared at her, and her fears and concerns were clearly exposed in her eyes. He squinted and then put hisptop away, saying to her, ¡°Come here.¡± As always, he said in a tone ofmand. He had be ustomed to treating her with such attitude. After a long stay in the presidential residence, Xia Xingchen also got used to it, so she walked to him tamely. The next moment, he abruptly reached out to hold her waist. Xia Xingchen was surprised, and the scene of they kissing passionatelyst night shed out in her mind. Her heart was pounding faster and her face blushed. She subconsciously drew back. But Bai Yeqing held her tightly. He then parted his long legs and pulled her with a little force, she immediately leaned forward and got trapped between his legs. She tried her best to support herself by putting hands on the sofa so as not to fall on him. Now their eyes were level. Her eyshes jittered like butterfly wings, and her breathing also elerated. The heat along with strong male hormones smell rushed to her, she felt hot and nervous at once. It¡¯s so dangerous to get close to him¡­ ¡°Why are you so nervous?¡± He gazed at her and whispered. Compared with her nervousness, he was as calm as usual. It¡¯s so unfair, why can he act as if nothing happened? ¡°You¡­ What do you want to do?" When his hand reached out, Xia Xingchen turned her face away, and she was so nervous that she even stammered. ¡°Turn your face around!¡± ¡°¡­¡± No way! She started to move, trying hard to stand up. Bai Yeqing¡¯s hand was still on her waist, when he sensed her actions, he put more strength to hold her. ¡°Turn your face around, or I will do something else we all like¡­¡± His tone was both overbearing and ambiguous. ¡°Who said I liked it?¡± Xia Xingchen turned around, blushing and refuting, ¡°I don¡¯t like it!¡± Bai Yeqing nced at her and reached out to take the temperature on her forehead, saying softly, ¡°Don¡¯t you like it? Then who reacted to mest night?" ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen was speechless. Great, it¡¯s back to normal temperature. He put his hand down and continued to ask, ¡°Who kissed me on the neck?¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°Who held me in her arms and didn''t let me go?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen wanted to shut him up. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to bury herself. However, it was clear that this guy seduced her first, why were these things all her faults now? She knew that he was not well-intentioned! He must have nned early to embarrass her in the morning! ¡°I''m a patient, besides, after taking so many medicines, I have been confused for a long time¡­¡± She found herself an excuse. ¡°If you hadn¡¯t told me that, I even don¡¯t know that you are the rogue who entered my roomst night. If it was someone elsest night¡­" ¡°What if it was someone else?¡± His voice sounded threatening and his eyes also got a tint of danger. It seemed that he was warning her to answer this question carefully, or the consequences would be very serious! Xia Xingchen was about to speak while the bedroom door was pushed open. Fu Yichen, who wore the protection suit and mask, came in solemnly from the outside. Seeing the situation in the room, he said emotionlessly, ¡°Both of you have good psychological qualities, as under such circumstances, you should have the mood to flirt with each other.¡± If others were in their shoes, they would have cried and knock their head on the ground desperately! Bai Yeqing nced at him, and Xia Xingchen got so embarrassed that she immediately pushed away Bai''s hands and ran away from him. He didn''t stop her anymore, allowing her to retreat behind Fu Yichen. ¡°Miss Xia, I heard your fever has subsided.¡± Fu Yichen talked to Xia Xingchen while asked the rest of the medical staff toe in. ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°You look a lot better today. Don¡¯t worry too much. Maybe it¡¯s just a cold." ¡°I hope so.¡± Xia Xingchen looked at someone sitting on the sofa. ¡°But he has a bad fever as well.¡± Hearing that, Fu Yichen went to make a check for him, while Xia Xingchen waited anxiously by their side. ¡°It seems that the virus carried by Miss Xia is very active. You have a powerful physique, therefore, you won''t be affected by themon virus so quickly." Fu Yichen looked serious as he suspected it was the WIS epidemic. ¡°Maybe I''m not infected.¡± ¡°You mean you only caught a cold?" It was impossible, because Bai Yeqing had been training intensively since childhood, he was as strong as an iron man. Last time he was wounded in the terrorist explosion, but he still got over with it. ¡°Yes. It''s just amon cold.¡± Bai Yeqing paused and finally said, ¡°I took a cold shower at midnight, so it¡¯s not surprising that I would catch a cold and have a fever.¡± ¡°Now the temperature at midnight is only a few degrees, why did you take a cold shower?¡± Xia Xingchen asked. ¡°¡­¡± Bai Yeqing nced at her and said nothing. Fu Yichen gave him a tacit smile, ¡°It seems that your mood is better than I expected.¡± Bai was piqued, ¡°Shut up and nobody will think you¡¯ve lost your tongue.¡± ¡°As for your physique, taking a cold shower for once cannot calm you down. Is it ten times? ¡°¡­ I am not a beast.¡± Bai Yeqing red at him. ¡°Not ten times, maybe seven or eight times?¡± ¡°¡­ Dr. Fu, it seems that you are free now. How about you helping me to take a bath personally next time?" ¡°Thanks for the opportunity. But I think I¡¯d better be a full-time doctor.¡± These two men were debating with each other, while Xia Xingchen waspletely confused. At first, she didn''t understand why Bai had to take a cold shower again and again at midnight. Isn¡¯t that self-abuse? Second, she didn¡¯t understand how taking a cold shower could rte to ''beast''. What on earth are they talking about? ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ In the afternoon, Xia Xingkong was packing. It was scheduled that today she would go to France with the Ambassador to perform with the purpose of enhancing the friendship between the two countries. As a result, just after closing the suitcase, she received a call from the dance troupe. ¡°What did you say?¡± Xia Xingkong could not believe what she had heard, ¡°How could you drop me at will? We have rehearsed well and the tickets are already booked. Are you mistaken? Hello? Hello!¡± Chapter 66 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: LH
The minister on the other end hung up ruthlessly without listening to her further questions. Xia Xingkong believed there must be someone behind this ident, she called back to question closely. But the people just sighed and said, ¡°Xingkong, don¡¯t get mad, I have no choice. All I know is that someone with a high position asked for this. Have you offended anyely?" Xia Xingkong was stunned for a long time when hearing his words. Speaking of the person who could arrange her work at the will and she may have offended recently, she wondered if he was¡­ Mr. President. Will he do such things for Xia Xingchen? The more Xia Xingkong thought about it, the more incredible she felt. She didn''t believe that Xia Xingchen had such charm, so she called Xu Yan to confirm the truth. After Xu Yan told her that it was Mr. President who required her apology, she waspletely convinced. Xia Xingkong was so angry that she even wanted to smash the phone. She pulled the door open and rushed out angrily. Li Lingyi happened toe over with high spirits, ¡°Xingkong, have a look at the dancing shoes that Mom just bought for you. Have a try?" ¡°No need! They don''t need me now!¡± Li Lingyi was surprised, "Ah? What¡¯s the matter? You have already booked the tickets, why do they cancel your trip now?" ¡°Thanks to Xia Xingchen, the bitch!¡± ¡°What does it have to do with her?¡± Li Lingyi didn''t understand. When Xia Xingkong remembered all those things happened in the past two days, her eyes got misty. ¡°She hooked up with the President and screw up my job! Xu Yan told me that the President said that if I didn''t apologize to her, the consequences would be on my own! Now it¡¯s just a performance, I may even lose the job if I don''t make an apology. What¡¯s worse, I may be not allowed to dance in the future!" Li Lingyi waspletely shocked, "No way? The President¡­ Will he stick up for her like that? What have you done to her?" ¡°I will go to find her and ask about this first!¡± Xia Xingkong left Li Lingyi behind and went out in a rage. ¡°Do you know where to find her?¡± Li Lingyi caught up with her and asked. "The presidential residence!" The presidential residence? Li Lingyi was shocked again: Xia Xingchen¡­ Lives in the presidential residence?! God! Will this woman one day be the President¡¯s wife? ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Dr. Fu, how is he?¡± After all the examinations, Xia Xingchen asked Fu Yichen. ¡°Miss Xia, for the time being, stay away from Mr. President. You should be isted from each other, or he may affect you.¡± Fu Yichen replied. Xia Xingchen looked at Bai Yeqing and nodded, ¡°Oh, OK. I¡¯ll go out right now." Bai Yeqing¡¯s face turned sullen: when does this woman behave so tamely?! ¡°Besides¡­¡± Fu Yichen paused, cleared his throat and continued, ¡°Since you are isted, there is no more kisses. You both know that, right?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen blused immediately. Bai Yeqing took the pillow and threw it at Fu, ¡°Dr. Fu, you¡¯re really verbose!¡± Fu Yichen caught the pillow deftly, ¡°Mr. President, this is my responsibility.¡± ¡°I''ll go out first. You go ahead.¡± Xia Xingchen opened the door and ran away hurriedly. Xia Xingchen went back to her room and prepared for breakfast. Then the mobile phone rang and it was Chi Weiyang, ¡°Xingchen, ask them to let me in. They''ve searched over my body and checked my ID card, but they don''t allow me to enter!¡± ¡°Where are you?¡± ¡°Outside the presidential residence!¡± ¡°You reallye here?¡± Xia Xingchen thought that luckily, Dr. Fu had brought many protective suits here, ¡°Wait a minute, I¡¯ll have someonee out to pick you up.¡± After a while, the servant led Chi Weiyang into the side building. Chi Weiyangined to the servant all the way, ¡°It¡¯s too troublesome toe in, so many ess checks, and you even have to check fingerprints and temperature.¡± ¡°We have no choice, after all, it¡¯s a very special ce here.¡± That''s true, it''s Mr. President¡¯s mansion, the most special ce of the country, isn''t it? Chi Weiyang kept looking around while walking, feeling like entering the Grand View Garden. When she reached the side building, the magnificent doors opened abruptly, and a slender figure came out from inside. She took a nce at the person who came near, then halted her steps, remained still and dumbfounded. It¡¯s him! Fu Yichen¡­ How long has it been since I saw him? It had been a long time, and she nearly forgot his name¡­ Even this person and his face had disappeared in her mind and left no trace¡­ In the past, when she was still crazy about him, she would think about him when eating, walking, studying and even sleeping. But then¡­ she gradually stopped thinking about him¡­ She forgot him¡­ She forgot the once-most-important person in her life¡­ Apparently, Fu Yichen didn¡¯t expect to meet Chi Weiyang here, so he was also shocked. His lips moved as if to say something, however, Chi Weiyang walked sideways and passed him. ¡°Stop!¡± Fu Yichen had a sudden impulse and grasped her wrist. Feeling the strength and heat of his hand, Chi Weiyang only felt her heart break apart. But she took a look at him coldly and asked the servant, ¡°Who is this man? So rude!¡± ¡°Dr. Fu, Miss Chi is Miss Xia¡¯s guest.¡± The servant exined in a hurry. ¡°Whoever enters the door must receive the disinfection first!¡± Fu Yichen dragged her to another room without hesitation. Chi Weiyang struggled twice but failed to get away. He¡¯s a man of great strength! She was pushed into a room with several medical staff in it. Seeing Fu Yichene in with a sullen face, they greeted him in a hurry, ¡°Dr. Fu.¡± After that, they cast their curious eyes on the young woman Fu had dragged in. Who is she? It¡¯s rare for Dr. Fu to be so close to a woman. ¡°Help her disinfect all over her body! Also, prepare a protective suit for her! ¡± Fu Yichen gave a deadpanmand. ¡°Roger that.¡± Fu Yichen then turned to walk out, and when he reached the door, he stopped abruptly and warned, ¡°Dress her carefully. Don¡¯t leave any chance to the virus!¡± His attitude remained cold. ¡°Yes, you can rest assured.¡± The medical staff responded in session. He didn''t stay longer and only left them with an unfeeling figure. Chi Weiyang didn''t look to the door until it waspletely closed. There was nothing for her to see, but she still stared at the door for a long time. Her eyes gradually got misty¡­ It was hard for her to control the feelings. Everything came too abruptly, just like a dream. Everything looked so untrue¡­ However, that person really appeared before her eyes just now¡­ ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Are you Dr. Fu¡¯s friend?¡± As the medical staff disinfected her, they chatted with her casually, ¡°It looks like Dr. Fu is nervous about you.¡± ¡°Oh, he¡¯s nervous about every woman, isn¡¯t he?¡± Chi Weiyang gave a in smile and felt her chest stuffed ¡°That¡¯s not true.¡± Chi Weiyang looked at the medical staff and said, ¡°Are you familiar with him? Have you met his wife? Is she beautiful?" Chapter 67 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: LH Special thanks to LH~ Enjoy ??
A series of questions had shocked the medical staff. Suddenly she felt very bored. How many years had passed since they broke up? Now he¡¯s married, while she still cared about his wife, wasn''t it ridiculous? Whether his wife was beautiful or not had nothing to do with her. After thinking about it, she said in embarrassment, ¡°Forget about it, I just ask you casually, simply ignore these questions.¡± The staff shook her head as a response, ¡°In fact, Dr. Fu protects his private life very well. Although we have been working with him for so many years, we really don¡¯t know much, let alone about his marriage.¡± Chi Weiyang didn''t say anything, but she could feel a blunt pain on the left side of the chest. He must love his wife very much¡­ ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Here at this side. When Fu Yichen entered Bai Yeqing¡¯s room, Bai Yeqing was talking to Leng Fei about some affairs. His arrival interrupted their conversation. Fu Yichen sat down on a single sofa and waved his hands absent-mindedly, ¡°No need to worry about me, please continue.¡± ¡°I thought you were already gone.¡± ¡°¡­ I¡¯ll leaveter." Bai Yeqing then left him alone, anyway he didn¡¯t care when he ned to leave. He continued to discuss with Leng Fei. ¡°The revitalization of Tucheng¡¯s industry is urgent now. Once the epidemic crisis is over, I will meet with the Minister of Finance immediately. I¡­¡± At this moment, Fu Yichen abruptly got up, took a few steps and sat down again. After a while, he got up again, took a few steps, and then sat down. Bai Yeqing shot a nce at Fu, and when he got up for the fourth time, Bai couldn''t stand it anymore. He gave a deadpanmand, ¡°Leng Fei, throw that man out!¡± ¡°Yes, Your Excellency.¡± ¡°Hey! Leng Fei, let me go. Did you hear that? Don¡¯t forget,st time your mother was ill, I cured her! ¡° ¡°I¡¯m sorry, Dr. Fu, you have seriously affected my discussion with His Excellency. Walk outside, please! It¡¯s nice and cool outside!¡± ¡°Who¡¯s going out in such freezing days?¡± Fu Yichenined. But the door was shut mercilessly. He pounded at the door like an upset dog, but no one paid attention to him. Then he turned around and found Chi Weiyang came out of the disinfection room. He stared fiercely at the staff behind her, ¡°How can you prevent the epidemic by wearing such little things?! Wear one more suit! And for the mask, put on one more! The gloves too. Put two more pairs on!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­ When Xia Xingchen met Chi Weiyang, Chi Weiyang was wrapped up like a rice dumpling.
rice dumplings
¡°How many did you wear? Can you still walk?" Chi Weiyang was very angry. She believed that Fu Yichen had deliberately made a fool of her. Now she looked swollen and ugly, and she even couldn''t breathe as free as natural. This bad man wants to strangle me alive! ¡°Fu Yichen is a total jerk!¡± She took off one mask in a rage. ¡°Dr. Fu¡¯smand? Then stop fiddling with it! Now the virus is quite active, he''s worried that more people will be infected." Xia Xingchen said. ¡°Worried? He clearly harbors no good intentions!" ¡°Why are you so angry? Did Dr. Fu offend you?¡± Xia Xingcheny in bed, keeping Chi Weiyang as far away as possible from herself. Chi Weiyang became silent and felt down. She waved her hands in annoyance and said, ¡°Let''s not talk about him anymore. How are you feeling now? Xia Xingchen looked at Chi Weiyang with inquiring eyes. She always felt that when they mentioned Dr. Fu, Chi''s attitude got very strange! Is it an illusion? She wanted to ask more questions, but someone knocked at the door right now. ¡°Miss Xia, there¡¯s a Miss Xia Xingkong outside asking for you. Can I let her in?¡± ¡°Xia Xingkong? Why does shee here?¡± Chi Weiyang frowned. Xia Xingchen reckoned there must be nothing good about hering. Yesterday she was pped by XXK for no reason, now she would like to see if XXK would y wild here. ¡°Let her in and ask her toe here directly.¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ When Xia Xingkong entered the side building, Xia Xingchen was not in the room. Shey in a cane chair in the backyard, and the servant carefully covered her with a nket, ¡°Miss Xia, it¡¯s cold outside. You cannot stay long here.¡± Seeing Xia Xingkonging from afar, Chi Weiyang deliberately raised her voice, ¡°Yes, Xingchen, you are not the same as before. If anything happens to you, Mr. President will be very distressed." Xia Xingchen immediately understood Weiyang''s thoughts and wanted tough, but she still kept her voice down and reminded Weiyang, ¡°Let''s keep it low-key. In case the President hears and exposes us, then we will lose our face.¡± ¡°Whatever, let''s perform first.¡± Xia Xingkong already looked wretched, when she saw Xia Xingchen¡¯s happy face, she couldn''t control the burning fire of anger in her heart. ¡°Xia Xingchen, what do you want from me?¡± She asked coldly. Though Mr. President asked her to apologize, she was still reluctant to do so. ¡°What do you mean?¡± Xia Xingchen was confused. ¡°Stop pretending to be innocent! You asked Mr. President to make me unemployed, now you act as if nothing happened?" Xia Xingchen was surprised, and she sat up from the chair with a nket in her arms. ¡°Why did he make you unemployed?¡± ¡°Obviously, Mr. President loves you, so he taught someone a lesson to defend you." Chi Weiyang chipped in, and her tone was full of pleasure. Then she nced at Xia Xingkong and continued. ¡°But you have the outstanding Xu Yan by your side, even if you have no job, Xu Yan will support you. Whye here to vent on Xingchen?" Hearing the name of Xu Yan, Xia Xingkong flew into a rage and she gnashed the teeth in anger, ¡°Xia Xingchen, you are really being a bitch!¡± Xia Xingchen looked cold and stared at her sternly. Xia Xingkong sniffed and rattled fiercely, ¡°You think you have the President to support you then I dare not reprove you, don''t you? Five years ago, you slept with some man and gave birth to a bastard; now you¡¯re seducing both Mr. President and Xu Yan; do you have any face?" ¡°Whose dog is barking at my ce?¡± A cold voice abruptly sounded. They all turned around and saw Bai Yeqinging over with others. Bai walked in the lead, and his face looked bad. After a nce at Xia Xingchen, he fixed his eyes on Xia Xingkong. His eyes were gloomy and cold, sparkling with a terrifying light. Xia Xingkong was so frightened that she dared not catch his eyes.

Xia Xingkong''s arrogance soon subsided, and she stammered, ¡°Mr¡­ Mr. President.¡± Contrary to her panic, Xia Xingchen had an indescribable sense of relief when he appeared. Those harsh words spoken by Xia Xingkong made her so angry that she even wanted to p XXK. But the moment she saw him, all the anger seemed to disappear magically. ¡°Leng Fei!¡± Bai Yeqing called out. ¡°Here!¡± Leng Fei took a step forward. Bai Yeqing pulled Xia Xingchen up from the chair and sat there himself, then he put Xia Xingchen on hisp and hugged her intimately, asking Leng Fei, ¡°Do you know how to deal with an untamed dog that bites randomly?¡± Xia Xingchen¡¯s heart beat so fast and she dared not move when sitting on hisp. Leng Fei nodded and replied, "Yes. Pull out its teeth, then the dog won''t bite. Poison it to dumb, naturally it won¡¯t bark anymore." Hearing his words, Xia Xingkong stepped back in horror and felt chilling all over. Bai Yeqing turned to Fu Yichen and said coldly, ¡°Dr. Fu, do you have such a kind of poison?¡± ¡°Yep, I usually take it with me.¡± Fu Yichen said and fumbled in his pocket. Xia Xingkong was so frightened that she immediately knelt down in front of Xia Xingchen. ¡°Sister, I¡¯m so sorry¡­ I¡­ I didn''t mean to curse you, I¡¯m just too jealous¡­ Please, for the sake of my love for Xu Yan-ge, ask Mr. President to spare me¡­ Spare me this time¡­ I¡¯ll never do such things again.¡± Xia Xingchen only felt ridiculous when seeing Xia Xingkong behave like this, but felt no pity at all. Chi Weiyang chipped in straightforwardly, ¡°Now you know how to beg for mercy? I still remember just now you reproached Xingchen fiercely, didn''t you? Xia Xingkong, you really help me broaden my horizon. Xu Yan wants to dump you and patch it up with Xingchen, it only proves that he is notpletely blind.¡± Feeling pain in her waist, Xia Xingchen hummed and tried to pull away his hand, ¡°It hurts¡­¡± Why did this man pinch me? ¡°Quiet!¡± Bai Yeqing responded inly. Xia Xingchen didn''t like his overbearing attitude and she stared at him angrily. ¡°You dare to stare at me!¡± He pinched her on the waist again. In the eyes of others, their acts were simply flirting. Fu Yichen covered his forehead with resignation: I just warned that they have to be isted from each other, a few secondster they have already forgotten my words! ¡°Your Excellency, she is still kneeling here, should I poison her or not?¡± Fu Yichen asked. Stop flirting now! Bai Yeqing looked at Xia Xingchen, ¡°She''s raised by your family, you decide.¡± Xia Xingchen was embarrassed, ¡°Just let her go.¡± In the end, Xia Xingkong was dragged out in an awkward way. It was more or less pleasant to see her go out in that manner since she came in so arrogantly. Bai Yeqing actually helped Xia Xingchen, so she was really grateful to him though she was seemingly dissatisfied with him. She is not that kind of person who doesn''t know chalk from cheese. Bai Yeqing still put on a sulky face, ¡°If I hadn''te here, you¡¯re going to let her keep scolding you like this?¡± Xia Xingchen looked at him with her attractive eyes, ¡°But¡­ You are here now, aren''t you?" As long as he is here, she will feel quite relieved¡­ It feels so good to have someone back you up¡­ His eyes got deeper, and there was a strange dark light glimmering in them. Does this woman know that she actually behaves like a spoiled child when she spoke those words? It seems that she also has no idea about how alluring she is when she acts in such way! Bai Yeqing felt his throat got drier and his hands became warmer. Fu Yichen cleared his throat and interrupted them in a dull way, ¡°Please remember that you two are patients ¨C special patients. Promise me to be apetent patient in this special period, will you?" After his reminder, Xia Xingchen blushed with embarrassment. Only then did she realize that she was still sitting on Bai''sp. Biting the lips, she got up in a hurry, and was too embarrassed to look at him again. Now her heart was pounding arrhythmically and fast. Bai Yeqing also got up right after. He spoke coldly while walking outside, ¡°Dr. Fu, as dull as you, hasn¡¯t your wife ever quarrel with you to divorce?¡± His words came into Chi Weiyang¡¯s ears. She was startled and looked pale, unconsciously clenching her hands hanging by her body. Fu Yichen didn''t answer Mr. President¡¯s words, but nced at Chi Weiyang withplicated feelings. But she had been stuck in her own thoughts and didn''te to herself after a long time. When they went away, Xia Xingchen waved her hands before Chi Weiyang, ¡°Weiyang, what are you thinking about?¡± ¡°About you and Mr. President.¡± She squeezed out a smile and sighed, ¡°I really envy you.¡± ¡°Envy us?¡± Xia Xingchen was bewildered, ¡°Why?¡± Chi Weiyang picked up the nket on the rattan chair and walked out with Xia Xingchen side by side, ¡°I can see that Mr. President is into you. While for Xu Yan, you can stop fancy about him. Now you should seize the man before your eyes! He is so good to you. Just in front of Xia Xingkong, oh my, he really helped you a lot. She definitely dares not bully you any more." ¡°Falling in love with him?¡± Xia Xingchen remained silent for a while and looked at her bitterly, "Do you really think I can love him at my will?" ¡°Why can''t? Although I''m not sure that he loves you or not, it''s certain that he likes you as he cares about you so much.¡± ¡°If you were me¡­ Knowing that liking him is being a flying moth darts into the fire and you can never be together, will you still like him recklessly?" Xia Xingchen hadn''t forgotten that ''Miss Song'', nor the status gap between Bai Yeqing and her. She¡¯s been trying to be as sensible as possible. Hearing this question, Chi Weiyang seemed stung by something, and her face became sullen in an instant. She replied, ¡°If we were doomed not to be together at the beginning, I would never allow myself to love him¡­¡± The feeling that you can¡¯t grow old with each other is too painful¡­ That pain taught her not to touch ''love'' easily in her whole life¡­ After a pause, a trace of sadness emerged in her beautiful eyes, ¡°If I really fell in love with him¡­ I¡¯d rather dig my heart out to forget him." Each word sounded so sad but also resolute. Xia Xingchen observed Chi Weiyang closely as she felt Weiyang seemed quite wrong today. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Chi Weiyang didn''t stay long in the presidential residence; after asking Xingchen to have a good rest, she left alone. Chapter 69 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: LH Special thanks to LH~
There was a long distance between the entrance gate and the residence building, and visitors'' cars were not allowed to drive in, so it was quite inconvenient for them to get in and out of here. Luckily, the presidential residence provided special cars for its visitors, so Chi Weiyang waited at the door patiently. After a while, a car drove near and stopped beside her. She thought it was the car sent by their staff, so she pulled the door open and was about to give a warm salute. However, when she saw the man in the driver¡¯s seat, the smile on her face immediately disappeared. ¡°Get in.¡± Fu Yichen slowly lowered the window, revealing his imposing handsome face. ¡°No. I want to have some exercise, I can walk by myself." After that, Chi Weiyang walking on in high heels. Fu Yichen nced at her, found that her high heels were nearly 8cm high, which set off her tall and slender figure. She grew up and matured. Compared with the innocent girl five years ago, now she was a real woman¡­ ¡°It¡¯s 10 kilometers away to the entrance gates. You''d better get in the car.¡± Fu Yichen drove slowly after her. Chi Weiyang looked sideways andughed, ¡°Dr. Fu, you are so attentive to me, if Mrs. Fu knows it, she will swim in vinegar, won''t she?¡± Fu Yichen sped his hands on the steering wheel, a trace of gloom emerged at the bottom of his eyes. But thatplex feeling was only transient, as the next moment, he tried to act as calm as possible and said, ¡°You¡¯re my younger sister, so she won¡¯t be jealous even if she knows it.¡± The phrase ¡°younger sister¡± smashed her down like a boulder, and she was so shocked that she sprained her ankle. When she fell down in awkwardness, her eyes were already brimmed with tears. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Xia Xingkong hid in her room and cried loudly as she felt herself being humiliated. The doll threw that she threw to the corner now became the object to vent her anger, she stabbed it with scissors a couple of times as if it was Xia Xingchen. Li Lingyi came in and saw her tearful eyes, her heart ached a lot. ¡°Put down the scissors, you may hurt yourself.¡± She held her daughter with one hand and took the scissors away with the other. ¡°Baby, tell Mom, what¡¯s wrong with you? Did Xia Xingchen bully you? If so, Mom will help you to get even with her." ¡°How?¡± Xia Xingkong sniffed, "She has the President backing her! Today, I went to the presidential residence and was nearly poisoned to dumb!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Li Lingyi swallowed. As soon as she heard "poisoned to dumb", she got cold feet. But seeing her daughter crying so bitterly, Li Lingyi spoke again tofort her, ¡°Don''t worry about that. The president is just ying with Xia Xingchen. Do you really think they canst forever? Some time ago I read in the magazine, that he and the vice-president¡¯s daughter are going to get married. How can Xia Xingchen be in between them?" ¡°The daughter of the vice-president? Mom, are you talking about Song Weiyi? ¡°Exactly? What, do you know her?" ¡°We used to be ssmates when I was studying abroad. At that time, we were taught by the same dance teacher. However, it was only recently that I knew that she was the daughter of our vice-president." ¡°Wow, as I said, my Xingkong is really outstanding. Look, you even get vice-president''s daughter as a ssmate!" Li Lingyi was so proud and she rubbed Xia Xingkong¡¯s face, "You should get more connect with her, Mom can also gain some face, especially if she¡¯s the future president¡¯s wife.¡± ¡°Yes! Only she can be the future president¡¯s wife!¡± Xia Xingkong suddenly remembered something, ¡°If Song Weiyi finds Xia Xingchen lives in the presidential residence, she will certainly give XXC a hard time! Mom, help me find the alumni book I brought back when I returned from abroad. You didn''t throw it away, did you?" Saying so, Xia Xingkong got up and rummaged in her bedroom. Li Lingyi replied, ¡°Well, those things you brought back are scattered everywhere, so I really don¡¯t know where to find your alumni book. Take it easy, the more anxious you are, the more you couldn''t find it.¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Soon, the results of their examinations came out, it turned out to be a false rm. Therefore, a group of people retreated from the side building to the main building, and the happiest person was Xia Dabai. At night. Xia Xingcheny in bed after her bath, she flipped through the pages of a storybook, trying to figure out which story to tell Dabai tonight. The story in ¡°One Thousand and One Nights¡± couldn¡¯t coax him anymore. ¡°Dabao, I''m ready.¡± Xia Dabai¡¯s voice came from the bathroom. She put down the storybook and took the cartoon bath towel in. The little boy sat in the bathtub with his body naked. His nose was stained with white foam, and his hair was rolled into a ball after getting wet and rinsed, making him look like a cute doll. As soon as Xia Xingchen got in, he put small hands into the water and covered his lower part.
Xia Xingchen was amused, ¡°I¡¯ve seen everything before. Why do you feel shy now?¡± ¡°The teacher said that this ce should not be shown to other women casually, only my future wife can see it.¡± This little fellow held his head up and spoke in a serious way. Xia Xingchen couldn¡¯t helpughing. She wiped off the foam on his nose with the towel and then rolled him up with a big bath towel. ¡°Dabao, Dad is having his birthday in two days. Do you have any gifts for him?¡± After Xia Xingchen put Dabai on the bed, he asked her with blinking eyes. She was about to blow his hair when she heard his question, and she was surprised, ¡°Is he going to have his birthday?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t know that?¡± ¡°¡­ I haven¡¯t heard of it.¡± Xia Dabai sighed, "Watch more news and you''ll find it. If Dad knows that the whole country remembers his birthday except you, he must be angry!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t mean that. There¡¯s been so much going ontely that I get a little confused." She murmured and then asked her son, ¡°Do you have any gifts for him?¡± ¡°Of course I do! I¡¯m going to make the best card for Little Bai. Dabao, do you think Little Bai would like it?" ¡°Sure. As long as you make it, he will like it whether it looks good or not.¡± Xia Xingchen thought about herself and asked Dabai with some distress, ¡°Then what do you think Mom should give to him?¡± Hecked nothing, so those cheap things certainly wouldn''t please him, but she couldn''t afford those expensive gifts. Sure enough, she couldn''t write a card by hand like the kid, which was too perfunctory as an adult. ¡°Isn¡¯t that easy? You give yourself as a gift to Little Bai. Little Bai has been chasing you all the time, so you only need to say yes to him." ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen took a pat on his head and said, ¡°Nonsense, who says he¡¯s chasing me?¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Bai Yeqing¡¯s birthday banquet was held a day earlier in the Auditorium of Congress. Actually, it was more like a silent battlefield than a birthday banquet, as leaders from various countries woulde to give their blessings, exchange feelings and enhance diplomatic rtions, so everyone on the banquet would act and speak cautiously, the atmosphere was filled with both warm and tense feelings. Chapter 70 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: LH (under editing)
Xia Xingchen was also present in the banquet as an interpreter, who followed the Minister of Finance and tranted in real-time. Wearing the formal dress suits and high heels for the whole night, she felt sore all over her body, but her professional qualities kept her in high spirits. asionally¡­ When she got a little free time, her eyes will fall on someone unconsciously. As the leading role tonight, he was sitting in the head seat, surrounded by envoys or leaders of other countries, talking side by side. As she looked at him from afar, so she could only see his side face. In the bright light, he looked dignified and elegant. The mour of him was so dazzling that people around him couldn''t move their eyes away. Even so, Xia Xingchen was somewhat worried about him. He hadn¡¯t recovered from his cold yet, and his temperature would go up over and over again. What''s more, he hadn¡¯t eaten anything all night because he was so busy. The banquet came to an interval and he entered the lounge to have a rest. Atst, all those guests began to have their meal. The two vice-presidents, Song Guoyao and Yu Zeyao, were in charge of the overall situation, and the guests were enjoying themselves. Xia Xingchen was carrying a dish and walking in the middle of the room, but she had no appetite at all. She walked around the table and picked some delicate dishes. Chi Weiyang came over, looked at it, andughed, ¡°Are these for yourself? They are not your type.¡± ¡°Watch your own te.¡± Xia Xingchen pushed her away and contemted for a while. Then she went to the lounge with the te when no one paid attention to her. The lounge was on the third floor. Compared with the bustle on the first floor, here was particrly quiet. It was quite scary for Xia Xingchen to watch those security guards to stand there emotionlessly with a gun in hand. ¡­¡­¡­¡­ There was no light in the lounge. Bai Yeqing leaned tiredly on the sofa, he felt pain and sore between his eyebrows. He took two tablets and swallow them with water, but the pain didn''t go away. At that moment, the door was pushed open. He opened his eyes vigntly, and by the light outside, he could see a beautiful little face. Instantly, his tense emotions rxed and his eyes softened a lot. ¡°How did you get here?¡± Tonight this ce was heavily-guarded, even a fly couldn''t enter here. ¡°I happened to meet Leng Fei outside. I didn¡¯t want to disturb you, but he insisted that I bring these in myself.¡± She whispered, shutting the door behind her, and the whole room regained dark. ¡°Bring what?¡± Bai Yeqing sat straight and reached to turn on a retro wallmp. The light was dim and just covered the small area of the sofa where they could see each other clearly. Tonight, she was dressed formally, wearing a ck suit, her hair was coiled high, which made she mature and quiet, that was another kind of sexy. ¡°I see that you haven''t eaten anything at night, so I bring you some food. Eat it now or it¡¯ll get cold quickly.¡± Xia Xingchen put the te on the tea table in front of him. He looked at the te and then looked at her, putting on a smile. He took chopsticks from her, tasted the food, and asked her, ¡°Why do you suddenly care about me so much?¡± ¡°I¡­ I just think it hasn¡¯t been easy for you." She nced at the pills and felt a light heartache. Bai Yeqing was very upset with her answer and nced at her, "Do I look that poor?" Xia Xingchen shook her head and then nodded. His face turned sullen from rxed. Xia Xingchen continued, ¡°Today is your birthday; usually, others will celebrate their birthdays in a quiet and peaceful way with their families and have a very good time. But you have to celebrate in such a tiring way.¡± She sat down beside him and touched his forehead again, "No more fevers, right?" Her voice was full of softness that even herself didn''t notice. Bai Yeqing¡¯s heart was pounding faster; looking at her tender little face, his eyes got darker. After a while, he whispered, ¡°The medical team is here, everything will be OK.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. Then eat. I¡¯m going out first. I can¡¯t leave for too long.¡± Xia Xingchen said while getting up. But Bai Yeqing suddenly reached out and grabbed her. She stopped and looked down at him. ¡°Stay with me for a moment.¡± He whispered and held her hand tighter. The tone of his voice was not asmanding as usual, but more like pleading. The fatigue and helplessness expressed on his face made her distressed. This man has always stood at a high altitude, overlooking all people. Now he appeared to be so humble before her, she didn¡¯t have the heart to turn down his request. ¡°Then I¡¯ll stay here for a while. You can eat now.¡± Xia Xingchen sat down beside him. His face looked better and he asked her, ¡°Have you eaten anything?¡± ¡°Not yet. I am too tired and have no appetite.¡± Bai Yeqing called Leng Fei and brought in another pair of chopsticks to her. Then the two of them shared the same food together. She couldn¡¯t helpughing at what she thought. He raised his eyes and looked at her, the tiredness on his face dispersed a lot, ¡°What are youughing at?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you obsessively tidy, now you don¡¯t avoid me?¡± ¡°I have answered that question, haven''t I?¡± They were so close to each other that when he looked sideways at her, their foreheads nearly touched. He stared at her lips, with his eyes as deep as the ocean. Feeling her heart was bouncing out of her throat, Xia Xingchen bit her lip. She heard him continued in a low voice, ¡°How many times have I tasted your saliva?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen blushed, red at him and sat straight: what a thick face! Bai Yeqing smiled, ¡°Have you finished yet?¡± Xia Xingchen ignored him and put down her chopsticks. He also put down his andy down on herp. She was stunned and looked down at him in shock. But he closed his eyes calmly, crossed his arms over his chest and saidzily, ¡°I will sleep for a while, wake me up ten minutester.¡± ¡°¡­¡± So, this guy was using herp as a pillow? What¡¯s more, just now he talked to her in a pleading way, but hismanding style came back again. It was so annoying! When she was grumbling in her heart, the man grabbed her hands and put them on his forehead. ¡°I''m having a headache.¡± He muttered softly and frowned tightly, while his hands were still holding hers as if doing so could relieve some pain. With her by his side, his pain indeed eased a lot. It was quite amazing. Seeing his look, the grumbling Xia Xingchen immediately turned soft-hearted. She sighed, "Shall I do a massage for you?¡± She asked him in a very soft tone. He acquiesced without saying a word. So she pulled her hands out of his and massaged his temples. Her fingers felt soft and her strength was moderate, everything was perfect. Bai Yeqing felt the pain eased and his eyebrows began to rx. Only then did he loosen uppletely, feeling secure and obsessed. He fell asleep in less than a minute. It looked like he was extremely exhausted.

Xia Xingchen felt mixed emotions: it¡¯s lonely at the top, and the higher he climbs, the more helpless andborious he will be¡­ So a man like him actually needs a woman who can share all these with him, right? Will Song Weiyi be that woman? Thinking of Song, Xia Xingchen¡¯s eyes darkened. But that was not what she should have considered, so she shook her head to throw away these messy thoughts, and then carefully covered him with his coat. Bai Yeqing was half asleep, holding her hand and putting it on his chest. Xia Xingchen could feel his strong heartbeat by touching his palm, and her heart started pounding faster. For a long time, she stared at his calm and tranquil face quietly. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Ten minutester, Xia Xingchen had to wake him up. Bai Yeqing soon sat up, and his coat slipped from him onto the carpet. Xia Xingchen stooped to pick it up, ¡°Go wash your face.¡± ¡°¡­ H''m.¡± Leng Fei came in at the moment, ¡°Your Excellency.¡± ¡°What happened?¡± Leng Fei took a look at Xia Xingchen and hesitated. She was a smart person, so she got up quickly and said, ¡°I have to go downstairs now.¡± ¡°Just go ahead, there are no outsiders here.¡± Bai Yeqing said to Leng Fei. Leng Fei could only reply, ¡°Miss Song is here.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Bai Yeqing red at Leng Fei who felt very wronged as it was Mr. President that required his reply! Hearing the words ¡°Miss Song¡±, Xia Xingchen walked faster. Bai Yeqing frowned at her back, ¡°Xia Xingchen!¡± She continued to walk out as if she didn''t hear him. Leng Fei stopped her and said, ¡°Miss Xia, His Excellency is calling you.¡± ¡°Ah? Uh? What¡¯s the matter?¡± She turned around as nothing happened. Bai Yeqing observed her face for a while and stood up from the sofa, ¡°I have something important to call on you tomorrow night, so get prepared for it.¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Something important, what could it be? But tomorrow was his birthday, maybe he wanted her and the kid to celebrate it together. Xia Xingchen went downstairs and threw herself back to work. However, from time to time, she would get absent-minded. Following the Minister of Finance and other senior officials in the hall, she had never seen Bai Yeqing or Song Weiyi again. During the break, she sneaked off the side hall to get some fresh air and then encountered Xu Yan unexpectedly. ¡°Are you okay? Have you recovered from your cold?" Xu Yan brought her a ss of juice and asked. She nodded, "Yes, I''m OK now. Thank you so much that day." ¡°You are too polite to me.¡± Xu Yan smiled. The two of them leaned on the corridor wall, watching waiters walked back and forth in a hurry, a lively scene. However, an awkward silence fell between them. Xu Yan had a lot to say, but he didn''t know where to start. When Xia Xingchen finished her juice and was about to return to the side hall, Xu Yan abruptly spoke in a low voice, ¡°Miss Song is here too, do you know?¡± Xia Xingchen got a little bit anxious, but she pretended to be unwitting, ¡°Which Miss Song?¡± ¡°Just in the main hall, she waltzed with Mr. President. It was awesome." Xu Yan looked at her, ¡°The whole audience apuded and said they were well matched.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen felt the juice in her mouth tasted particrly bitter. After a while, she looked up and smiled at Xu Yan, ¡°What a pity, I missed that beautiful performance.¡± Xu Yan''s eyes darkened, ¡°There will be more opportunities in the future for you to watch such performances. You know what I mean¡­" After a pause, he added, ¡°They will get married.¡± The smile on Xia Xingchen¡¯s face didn''t fade away. She put the cup gently in a dish carried by a waiter and said, ¡°I have to go now. It¡¯s busy inside, and I only get one minute for a break. You can also go ahead with what you are doing now." Moreplexities showed in Xu Yan''s eyes. Looking at her turning back, he wanted to say something more but failed. He just didn¡¯t want her to be a flying moth darts into the fire, or much worse ¨C falling to pieces. But now, was he qualified to give her so much advice? ¡­¡­¡­¡­ It was an unprecedented hard night for Xia Xingchen. After the internship stage, she had been prepared for such a workload for a long time. But tonight was especially tough for her. And she didn''t know why she would feel so. She felt her chest stuffy until she came out of the parliament hall. Standing in the breeze, the gloom cloud still lingered over her head. Chi Weiyang asked, ¡°It¡¯s quitete. Would you like to stay with me for tonight?¡± ¡°I''d rather not, I smell bad now. I''d better go back and take a good bath.¡± Chi Weiyang said nothing more, and they stopped the taxi and went home respectively. When Xia Xingchen returned to the presidential residence, it was veryte at night. The butler and others were still waiting in the hall. She took off her coat and the servant quickly took it over. She asked, ¡°Is the young master sleeping?¡± ¡°He went to bed early.¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± She looked upstairs, ¡°Has hee back yet?¡± ¡°His Excellency said that he will not be back tonight.¡± ¡°¡­ I see.¡± Xia Xingchen asked nothing more and walked slowly upstairs. The words Xu Yan said to her tonight echoed in her mind at the moment. They will get married¡­ Yeah, they will get married in the future¡­ After taking a bath, shey in bed, tossing and turning for a long time. The next day. Early in the morning, she and her kid had breakfast together. Xia Dabai stared at her for a long time, and she noticed, ¡°Have your breakfast, why look at me?¡± ¡°You¡¯re in a bad mood.¡± ¡°¡­ No.¡± ¡°I can see it all.¡± ¡°No, I am not.¡± Xia Xingchen was reluctant to admit that she was in a bad mood. For what she was in a bad mood? Xia Dabai scooped porridge and grumbled, ¡°A stubborn woman is not cute at all. You treat me as a three-year-old child again.¡± Xia Xingchen pinched his tiny earlobe, ¡°I know you¡¯re not three years old. You¡¯re about to be five years old.¡± ¡°Today is Little Bai¡¯s birthday. Have you prepared the present for him?¡± Xia Dabai asked. ¡°He doesn¡¯tck anything, so he won''t care whether I give a gift to him or not. Therefore, I will simply say a ''happy birthday'' to him.¡± ¡°¡­ That''s too perfunctory." Xia Dabai hissed, ¡°Dad will get angry.¡± ¡°Get angry as he like, I don''t care.¡± She was indifferent. Xia Dabai looked at her suspiciously, and then affirmed, ¡°Is you bad mood rte to Little Bai?¡± ¡°¡­ No.¡± ¡°You had a quarrel with Little Bai. Don¡¯t lie to me. I can see it all." ¡°Wash your hands after eating. It¡¯s time for ss.¡± Xia Xingchen put down the tableware and took the child off the child¡¯s chair. Xia Dabai stuck out his tongue and dared not say more words. Anyway, he could see that Dabao was in a really bad mood today!

To begin with, Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t want to prepare any gifts for him, but she went to the mall unconsciously in the afternoon. This is thergest famous shopping mall in the capital, in which only the top brands in the world are allowed. She contemted for a while and found that she could just afford a shirt as a gift to Bai Yeqing. In fact, he had hardly worn any of these brands. His tie clips, buttons and trousers were all cut and sewn by the chief designer by hand. But she couldn''t afford those kinds of clothes, even she had that money, the chief designer wouldn''t serve her. Xia Xingchen was walking alone in the mall, and at the moment, her mobile phone rang. She looked at the screen, it was from Xu Yan. ¡°Hello.¡± ¡°Today I will go to Beswell Hospital. Do you want to visit your father?¡± Xu Yan asked. ¡°Can we get in?¡± ¡°Now the condition is under control, and this time I have to apany a leader in. At that time, you can stay in the monitoring room for a while, it won''t cause any trouble." ¡°OK, I¡¯m not busy right now.¡± Xia Xingchen checked her watch. Bai Yeqing and her had a date in the evening, but now it was just over 4 o¡¯clock, so it is okay for her to go to the hospital to visit her father. ¡°Where are you?¡± I¡¯ll pick you up.¡± Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t refuse his kindness and told him the address directly. This mall is very close to the President¡¯s office, and it is also on the way to the hospital, so it wouldn''t take much time for her to make both appointments. She hung up the phone and went into a store, which mostly sells ck or white shirts in simple and elegant style, but the fabric feels veryfortable when worn. She picked a ck one at a nce, but the price is too expensive for her ¨C it will cost her for several months of sry. Holding the shirt in hand, she was about to ask the shop assistant to wrap it up, then she heard a familiar voiceing from outside. ¡°It¡¯s so hard to ask you out, this is the first time we meet since when returned to China!¡± It was Xia Xingkong. Xia Xingchen looked up subconsciously and saw that Xia Xingkong wasing in arm-in-arm with ady. And thatdy is¡­ ¡°I have many friends to meet, so I¡¯m kind of busy.¡± Song Weiyi reasoned to Xia Xingkong. Xia Xingchen is quite surprised as she didn¡¯t expect that Xia Xingkong and Sun Weiyi knew each other. What a small world! She turned her sight away and let the shopkeeper lead her to pay the bill. Xia Xingkong got sharp eyes and she recognized XXC based on her figure, a trace of joy appeared in her eyes. What a surprise! Now she is with Song Weiyi. Xia Xingkong proposed, ¡°Weiyi, let¡¯s go into this store and have a look. Aren¡¯t you going to prepare a birthday gift for your boyfriend?" ¡°What¡¯s good about this kind of store? My boyfriend doesn¡¯t wear this brand at all." Song Weiyi nced at the shop and had it judged. They only wear high-quality customized clothes, even famous items in the museum will have to be processed and improved before giving to them to avoid being dressed in the same style and color. (Trantor''s note: The world of rich people is beyond my imagination¡­) Xia Xingchen heard Song Weiyi¡¯s words and knew that her so-called ¡°boyfriend¡± must be Bai Yeqing. Suddenly, she felt that it was ridiculous to choose a shirt as a gift for him. ¡°Sorry, Miss. I don¡¯t want this shirt.¡± She said to the shopkeeper. ¡°Sister, why not take it?¡± Xia Xingkong interrupted as she stepped up from behind. She took the shirt from XXC''s hand and sized it up, saying, "You''re going to buy this for your boyfriend, whose birthday is today, aren''t you?" Song Weiyi didn¡¯t want to enter this store until she turned her head and saw Xia Xingchen. At first nce, she found XXC familiar, and at a second nce, she suddenly remembered that she(XXC) was the woman she had met in the presidential residence. ¡°Xia Xingkong, who is she?¡± ¡°She¡­¡± Xia Xingkong smiled, grabbed Xia Xingchen¡¯s hand intimately, ¡°She¡¯s my sister, and the key point is, do you know where she lives now?¡± Xia Xingchen frowned, pushed her hand away with a cold face and gave Song Weiyi a faint look. It seemed that Bai Yeqing would be in trouble, but it had nothing to do with her. Anyway, it was he who allowed her to live in the presidential residence, so she was not afraid of Song Weiyi. For Bai Yeqing, she harbored an unexined resentment, and she even hoped that Xia Xingkong would expose her in front of Song Weiyi. ¡°I know where she lives. In the presidential residence, right?" Song Weiyi nced at Xia Xingchen. Xia Xingkong was so shocked that her chin almost fell off, ¡°You knew about that?¡± ¡°I met her at the presidential residence before.¡± Song Weiyi said indifferently. Xia Xingkong carefully observed Song Weiyi: she knows Xia Xingchen¡¯s rtionship with the president, then how can she be so calm? It¡¯s really not her style! "This shirt looks good. Let me have a look.¡± Song Weiyi had no idea what Xia Xingkong was thinking at the moment, but the shirt caught her attention. She looked at it carefully and said, "Anyway, the gift I ordered won¡¯t arrive today, so I can buy him a shirt first. Xia Xingkong, what do you think of this one?" ¡°Looks great. It will definitely match your boyfriend well. But¡­ My sister has already chosen it.¡± ¡°So what? Can she afford it?¡± Song Weiyi taunted before Xia Xingchen spoke, and then turned to the shopkeeper and said, ¡°How many of this shirt do you have? I will take them all. And I will only keep this one, as for the rest, just destroy them all." ¡°¡­¡± What an overbearing attitude. Xia Xingchen just felt funny. ¡°This shirt is limited, and there is really only one left in our shop.¡± The shopkeeper exined. Xia Xingchen directly handed her card to the shopkeeper, ¡°Please help me pay for it. I''ll take this shirt.¡± ¡°Yes, Miss.¡± The shopkeeper took her card, anyway, it doesn''t matter who will pay the bill. ¡°Xia Xingchen, what do you mean?¡± Song Weiyi''s face turned sullen. She replied in a t voice, ¡°I can afford it and I like it, so I buy it ¨C that¡¯s what I mean.¡± ¡°I don''t allow you to sell it to her!¡± Song Weiyi looked at the shopkeeper coldly,manded in an arrogant rich girl''s way, ¡°I¡¯ll pay ten times the price, now give it to me!¡± The shopkeeper felt awkward, ¡°Sorry, Miss. Our store stiptes that we can¡¯t take extra money from our customers without authorization. We can only charge as much as the price of this shirt as is.¡± ¡°Sister, listen to me, don¡¯t stick to this shirt. Weiyi is the one who deserves it. You''re overreacting yourself to buy it, just let it go before you make a fool of yourself." Xia Xingkong spouted these meaningful words and Xia Xingchen understood it all, but she nced at XXK coldly, "I¡¯m not sure if I¡¯ll make a fool of myself, but I think you¡¯re already a joke now. You just get back to work, now you feel tired and want to take a break again?" ¡°¡­¡± That was totally a threat. Xia Xingkong turned pale with anger. Song Weiyi couldn¡¯t understand what puzzling remarks the sisters were making, but impatiently urged the shopkeeper, ¡°What are you waiting for? Go and wrap up this shirt for me!¡± Chapter 73 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy
"Well¡­ But¡­" The shopkeeper looked at Song Weiyi and turned to Xia Xingchen. Xia Xingkong curbed her anger and said, ¡°Weiyi, I think you''d better not take the love of others. My sister is going to buy this shirt for her boyfriend.¡± ¡°What does that have to do with me? No matter what, I will take this shirt anyway!¡± ¡°Sorry, I¡¯m not going topromise.¡± Xia Xingchen persisted. If only Song Weiyi had negotiated with her in a polite way, she could have given up this shirt. ¡°Weiyi, do you know who her boyfriend is?¡± Xia Xingkong continued while staring at Xia Xingchen in a hostile manner. Xia Xingchen already had no interest in making up stories, so she didn''t care what Xia Xingkong will say to Song Weiyi. ¡°She is buying this shirt for¡­¡± ¡°She''s buying it for me.¡± A familiar male voice interrupted Xia Xingkong abruptly. Xia Xingkong was so shocked that her breathing became heavy. Xia Xingchen looked over upon hearing a familiar voice and saw Xu Yan walking towards them. Song Weiyi seized him up several times, ¡°Did¡­ we meetst night? You are the interpreter besides Yeqing." ¡°Hello, Miss Song. I didn¡¯t expect to see you here.¡± Xu Yan nodded slightly and greeted her gracefully. After that, he nced over Xia Xingkong¡¯s pale face, then stared at Xia Xingchen, his pupils darkening. In the end, he turned to Song Weiyi and said, ¡°Xingchen intends to give this shirt to me as a gift.¡± ¡°I see. You are¡­¡± Song Weiyi said, pointing at him and Xia Xingchen with her fingers, ¡°Are you her boyfriend?¡± ¡°No!¡± Xia Xingkong answered in a shrill tone, she was a little agitated, ¡°Xu Yan is not her boyfriend! He¡¯s MY FIANCE!¡± Song Weiyi was surprised as well as amused just by looking at these three persons, ¡°It seems to be aplicated love triangle. Well, since she chose this shirt for you and now you¡¯re here, I won¡¯t insist on taking it from her.¡± Knowing Xia Xingchen has a boyfriend, Song Weiyi felt a lot more pleasant as she looked at her again. Song said to the shopkeeper, ¡°Wrap up the shirt and give it to Miss Xia. I don¡¯t want it.¡± ¡°¡­ Yes.¡± Xia Xingchen remained silent from beginning to end. Xu Yan took the shopping bag handed by the shopkeeper and walked out of the store hand-in-hand with Xia Xingchen in the face of Xia Xingkong. Xia Xingkong fixed her sad eyes at them as if to poke holes in their bodies. Then the tears gushed out from her eyes unexpectedly; looking at their receding figures, Xia Xingkong only felt that her heart was hollowed out in a moment¡­ She has been loving and waiting for this man for so many years¡­ Just several days ago, he was still within her reach, but once they returned from abroad and went back to the world where Xia Xingchen is, everything has changed into bubbles! ¡°Stop crying. What¡¯s the point of it? I think they¡¯re a good match.¡± Song Weiyi handed the handkerchief to Xia Xingkong. Actually, she wishes that Xia Xingchen and Xu Yan are lovers. When she first met Xia Xingchen, she was already full of vignce. ¡°You don¡¯t understand¡­¡± Xia Xingkong still looked at the direction where they disappeared. ¡°Indeed, I can''t understand yourplicated love triangle. But I know one thing ¨C my man must, and can only love me!¡± Song Weiyi raised her chin confidently. Thinking of that distinguished and noble man, her face turned florid and her heart was full of admiration, ¡°The man I choose must be the best in the world and the one who loves me most!¡± (Teaser: keep sober-mindeddy, Bai doesn''t love you¡­) ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Out of the store, Xia Xingchen pulled her hand out from Xu Yan¡¯s. Xu Yan nced at their separated hands and apologized, ¡°Sorry. I may have caused some trouble for you just now.¡± She shook her head, "I know you¡¯re trying to help me out. But Xia Xingkong may have misunderstood us." ¡°Sorry, I just¡­ I¡¯m sorry to take advantage of you.¡± He made a frank apology. He deliberately took her hand and left to discourage Xia Xingkong. It would be better for them to be heartless to each other. Besides, his mind is full of Xingchen now and he is trying to seize every chance to meet her, so he really has no energy to coax Xia Xingkong. Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t care butforted him, ¡°Don¡¯t feel sorry. Anyway, she has been hating me for a long time. Even if nothing happened, once you broke up with her, she will definitely me all to me. So it''s okay.¡± ¡°She¡¯s just not as sensible as you are, but she wasn¡¯t like that before.¡± Xia Xingchenughed, "You¡¯re too naive." However, Xia Xingkong has been pretending innocently in front of him for so many years, so it¡¯s no wonder that he will believe her. ¡°Forget about her.¡± Xu Yan smiled, ¡°My car is parked outside. Let¡¯s go to visit your dad now, time is running out.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Xia Xingchen nodded and sped up to catch up with Xu Yan. When she was about to get in the car, Xu Yan handed her the shopping bag, ¡°It''s yours, put it away.¡± Actually, he knew who the shirt was bought for. Unexpectedly, Xia Xingchen said, ¡°It¡¯s yours now.¡± ¡°Mine?¡± ¡°Yes, you just paid for it, didn''t you?¡± ¡°¡­ I know it¡¯s a gift you chose for someone else. You can give it to him." Xu Yan gave her the bag. Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t say anything. She got into the car and put the shopping bag on the back seat. Seeing Xu Yan looking at herself, she grinned and said, ¡°I¡¯m not going to give it to him.¡± He looked at her with a bemused expression. She shrugged andughed, ¡°What do I have to do with him? It¡¯s better to say ''Happy Birthday'' than give a shirt to him, and it won¡¯t cause any misunderstandings." Misunderstandings. Xu Yan pondered over this word and wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw her gloomy face, he threw away his doubts andughed, "Then I can take it as a gift from you, right?" ¡°Of course, a gift to thank you for taking me to visit my dad, how about that?¡± Xu Yan smiled, "Then I won¡¯t reject it." ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ They headed to Beswell Hospital in the car. There is sad music ying on the radio. Xia Xingchen sits on the passenger side, contemting. She remains silent for a long time, just looks out of the window thoughtfully. Xu Yan, however, hopes that the journey can be a little farther, it''s better that¡­ they can just remain like this for a lifetime¡­ Chapter 74 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy
Listening to the music, scenes that happened a few years ago shed before his eyes, and he couldn''t help stare at her affectionately¡­ (Teaser: Warning!!! Be careful when driving!!!) "Beep beep beep!!!" Suddenly, a car honked abruptly. Xu Yan immediately turned his head and saw a truck rushing out of the right front at top speed and heading straight for Xia Xingchen, who was sitting in the co-driver¡¯s seat. Xia Xingchen was so nervous that she went nk and didn''t know what to do. Then a sharp braking noise rang ¨C Xu Yan swerved with all his strength, so the car was thrown over and the driver''s seat hit the truck with a loud bang. Xia Xingchen was hit and flew out from the car, but she was actually saved by Xu Yan from death. She looked inside the car¡­ ¡°Xu Yan!¡± ¡°Xu Yan, are you alright!?¡± Both Xia Xingchen¡¯s voice and body were trembling. She ignored her injury and limped to the driver¡¯s seat. The airbag had bulged, on which Xu Yany askew. His face was covered with blood and looked scary. ¡°Xu Yan, hold on¡­ You must hold on¡­ I¡¯ll call an ambnce now!¡± Her voice became hoarse and she fumbled around for her cell phone. What a fool he is! He could have been safe and sound, but in order to save her, he risked his own life! (Teaser: He should have focused on driving, that''s all.) ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ About 10 minutester, a wailing sound from the ambnce¡¯s siren was heard and emergency paramedics rushed to help the wounded Xu Yan and lifted him onto the vehicle. Xia Xingchen followed the medical staff and soon Xu Yan was taken to the emergency room. ¡°Doctor, how is he? Will he be alright?" asked Xia Xingchen anxiously. ¡°His specific situation will not be known until his whole body has been examined. Are you his girlfriend? He will have an operationter, please inform his family members toe and sign the paper. We cannot operate on him with just your signature for it will not be valid for this case." ¡°OK.¡± Xia Xingchen called Xu Yan¡¯s parents with his cell phone. After that, she had been waiting outside the emergency room. Xu Yan was soon pushed out and then received all kinds of examinations. Xia Xingchen followed him all the way and didn''t get time to treat the wound on her leg. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ On the other side. Bai Yeqing was sitting in the hall, waiting for her. The butler hung up and said, ¡°Your Excellency, I still couldn¡¯t get through to Miss Xia.¡± Bai Yeqing pursed his thin lips and remained silent, no one knew his emotions at this moment. After a while, Leng Fei came forward and said, ¡°Your Excellency, Elder Master and Elder Madame are urging us to start off, it¡¯s time to go now.¡± ¡°Who are Elder Master and Elder Madame?¡± Xia Dabai looked up and asked curiously. Bai Yeqing picked him up from the sofa with a deadpan face, ¡°We will visit your Grandpa and Grandma tonight.¡± ¡°Grandpa and Grandma? Do I have grandparents?" ¡°Without grandparents, where did youe from?¡± ¡°But don¡¯t we need to wait for Dabao? She must also want to see Grandpa and Grandma!¡± ¡°Really? I don¡¯t think she really wants to see them." Bai Yeqing¡¯s tone was a little cold. It was half past 7 now, obviously, she stood him up again on his birthday night, and there was no excuses or exnations from her! What''s worse, she didn''t even answer his call. He waited for her for two hours in vain. Maybe she had forgotten all about their date tonight and his birthday! Who is she with right now? Is she so happy that she forgot about their date? Bai Yeqing took Xia Dabai into the car and told the driver to go. The car drove all the way to the quiet suburbs, and Bai Yeqing kept looking outside the window with a cold face. Xia Dabai pouted, ¡°Dad, today is your birthday. Don''t put on that face, it''s really annoying.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Bai Yeqing ignored him. He¡¯s already in a terrible mood, so how could he spare time to worry about a kid¡¯s mood? ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ In the hospital, Xu Yan was ced in the VIP ward afterpleting various examinations. Xia Xingchen had been sitting in the corner, and the injury on her ankles had already scabbed. Xu¡¯s parents stayed by the bed. Xu¡¯s mother was not in good health, after knowing that her son had an ident, though she was exhausted, she still came to the hospital and couldn''t help shedding tears when seeing her son''s condition. Xia Xingchen wanted tofort Xu''s mother, but she didn¡¯t know what to say. Anyfort given will be useless before such a serious ident. She pulled out the facial tissue and handed it over to Xu¡¯s mother, while thetter looked at her and sighed, ¡°Before he wakes up, go and treat your wound. Although he''s in aa, he keeps calling your name, so if he sees you are alright once he wakes up, he will feel much better." Xia Xingchen shook her head, ¡°I''m okay, it''s just a small wound.¡± Xu¡¯s father said, ¡°You''d better take care of it in order to avoid infection.¡± Xia Xingchen finally went to handle the wound. In fact, after she broke up with Xu Yan, she hadn¡¯t met Xu''s parents for many years. When the news of her pregnancy spread over, she had thought Xu¡¯s parents would look down on her as others had done, but she didn''t expect that they would treat her as friendly as before this time. It made her feel more rxed and less embarrassed. When she was dealing with the wound, she remembered her appointment with Bai Yeqing today and looked up at the clock on the wall, crying in her heart: My God, it¡¯s over 8 o¡¯clock now! She fumbled for her cell phone and wanted to call him to exin. As a result, her phone was powered off. It seems that I have to borrow a charger. While Xia Xingchen was thinking about that, someone pushed open the door, ¡°Miss Xia, Mr. Xu woke up! Go have a look!¡± ¡°Ah! OK! ¡± Xia Xingchen¡¯s attention was suddenly distracted. She put her dead phone back in her pocket and rushed to the ward. Xu Yan was having a fever and was not conscious enough. But once seeing Xia Xingchen, he gave a long sigh of relief and tried to wave his arms in the air to grab something. Before Xia Xingchen realized what was going on, her hands were already put into Xu Yan¡¯s by his mother. He then grasped her hands tightly. ¡°You see, I said she was okay. All you need to do now is to recuperate your health, don¡¯t worry about anything else.¡± Xu¡¯s mother said while wiping tears in her eyes. Xia Xingchen realized that he had been worrying about her as soon as he woke up. She felt so warm and touched. His hands were cold because of bleeding too much. Xia Xingchen patted him soothingly on the back of his hand, ¡°Rest assured, I¡¯m all right and got no injury." ¡°¡­ I¡¯m sorry.¡± Xu Yan¡¯s lips were dry and his breath was weak, ¡°Today¡­ I should have taken you to visit your father¡­" He struggled to speak. ¡°Stop talking and have a good rest. The doctor said that you¡¯ve broken a few ribs and you¡¯ll have an operation tomorrow.¡± Xia Xingchen whispered, wetted the cotton swab and moisturized his lips. Chapter 75 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy Teaser: Vinegar warning¡­ The Green-Eyed Monster is Coming Out!!!
Xu Yan felt much morefortable after his lips got moisturized. Seeing Xia Xingchen was taking care of him carefully, he couldn''t feel more satisfied. This¡­ might be called "getting good out of one''s misfortune". ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Elder Master and Elder Madame are getting old and they enjoy living in a quiet ce. The big house they live in is situated in the suburbs, and visitors have to pass several strict entrance guards to reach the main building. When Bai Yeqing¡¯s car went in, a well-trained soldier came out from the sentry box and made a salute. The car stopped in front of the house, all the staff were standing in line at the door, waiting for them. Bai Yeqing knew who these people were expecting, and he saw the Elder Madame was stretching her neck long as soon as he got off the car. ¡°Where''s my little grandson! Come on, I wanna see my little grandson.¡± Bai Yeqing waved at his back and Xia Dabai got out of the car shortly. Before Bai Yeqing introduced him, he had called out in a melodious tone, ¡°Grandpa, Grandma.¡± ¡°Oh, my baby grandson.¡± The Elder Madame burst into tears of joy but was filled with vigor. She bent down and stretched out her hands, coaxing, ¡°Come on, give Grandma a hug.¡± Xia Dabai tottered over and said in a baby voice, ¡°Grandma, I¡¯m very fat, so you''d better be careful.¡± ¡°How? You are perfect! Who says my little grandson is fat? I will teach him a lesson! Kids only look good when they are chubby.¡± The Elder Madame held Xia Dabai in her arms and looked at his white and tender face, she couldn''t be more pleased. Then she leaned over and said, ¡°Hurry up, give Grandma a kiss.¡± Xia Dabai was a very tactful kid, as he gave a loud kiss to Elder Madame. Seeing their interactions, the Elder Master felt envious. But he used to behave seriously, how could he ask for a kiss like that? He coughed, "Don¡¯t hold the kid for too long, old woman. He''s a man, it''s inappropriate for him to be held in arms all day long!" ¡°What do you mean, how old is our grandson and what man are you talking about?¡± ¡°Grandma, I am a man now, a little man.¡± Xia Dabai smiled sweetly, showing neat and shiny teeth. Hearing this, the Elder Madame immediately changed her tone and nodded, ¡°Yes, yes, you are a man!¡± ¡°A man has to stay with a man.¡± The Elder Master gave his crane to the servant beside him and then stretched out his hands to the child with a serious look, saying, ¡°Come on, Grandpa will take you down.¡± ¡°Don''t hold yourself if you want to hug him.¡± The Elder Madamey bare his lies and then said to Dabai, ¡°Your Grandpa looks scary but don¡¯t be afraid of him; actually, he¡¯s more eager than anyone here to see you.¡± ¡°I''m not afraid, Grandpa is a good man.¡± ¡°Yes, I am a good man.¡± The Elder Master couldn¡¯t keep his mouth shut withughter. ¡°¡­¡± Bai Yeqing stood by and watched the scene, quite helpless and speechless. If they go on like this, the kid will definitely be spoiled by his grandparents! ¡­¡­¡­¡­ When they entered the house, the servants have already been serving dishes in the kitchen. ¡°Where is Suye?¡± Bai Yeqing looked at the empty seat across the table and asked. Bai Suye, his twin sister, has been the head of the national security department for many years. ¡°It¡¯s said that she''s going to deploy important tasks tonight and will be backter.¡± The Elder Madame answered. Bai Yeqing nodded ¨C he had a general idea about tonight¡¯s important task. ¡°Here we go, what does our baby like to eat? Would you like chicken legs? Grandma will break off a chicken leg for you." All of Elder Madame''s attention was put on the kid. Xia Dabai simply took everything he was offered, nodding and saying ''Yes''. Compared with the liveliness of the Elder Madame, the Elder Master didn''t say much, but quietly put his favorite dishes into the kid¡¯s bowl. Xia Dabai looked up and smiled sweetly, ¡°Thank you, Grandpa.¡± Hearing this, the Elder Master couldn''t maintain his serious look but just narrowed his eyes withughter. Well, well. What a happy family with a baby kid! ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ After the meal, Bai Yeqing had checked his cell phone for the third time. Awesome, no messages or calls from her till now! She must haven''t arrived at the presidential residence yet. ¡°What are you looking at? You''ve been staring at the phone all night and stayed absent of mind.¡± The Elder Madame turned her face to talk to her son. ¡°I''m looking at the time.¡± ¡°No need.¡± The Elder Madame pulled a long face, ¡°No matter what time it is, you and my little grandson will stay here tonight! Master, do you think so?" ¡°Yeah, your mother had a hard time waiting for you toe back, and the rooms are all tidied up.¡± ¡°Yes, my dear grandson will stay in the children¡¯s room.¡± The Elder Madame smiled and fed Dabai fruit, ¡°Grandma¡¯s room is next to the children¡¯s room. How about Grandma telling you a story tonight and getting you to sleep?" ¡°Excellent. I will take a good bath and wait for Grandma.¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Xu¡¯s mother didn''t feel very well, so after staying in the ward for a while, Xu''s father sent her back home. Xia Xingchen apanied Xu Yan and fed him porridge cooked in the hospital. He didn''t have a good appetite and ate very little, but after eating, he gained some energy. After that, he fell asleep again. Xia Xingchen borrowed a charger from the nurse to charge her phone at the bedside. After turning on the phone, she found it was already past 11 o¡¯clock at night. Bai Yeqing must be angry to crazy. She slightly turned her body and made a call to him. The phone rang several times and nobody answered. She became very anxious: Maybe he''s so angry with me that he will never talk to me again? Just then, someone answered the phone. ¡°Hello, who is it?¡± It''s a female voice. Xia Xingchen went nk upon hearing the voice, she knew it wasn¡¯t Song Weiyi, but it was quitete now¡­ A woman answered his phone, so what would be her rtionship with him? His private phone was installed with a perfect anti-eavesdropping system, and it needs a password to even answer the phone. If the woman was not intimate enough with him, she would never have a chance to answer her call. ¡°Hello.¡± Without hearing Xia Xingchen''s voice, the other side spoke again. Xia Xingchen finally said, ¡°I¡¯m looking for¡­¡± ¡°Looking for Yeqing? He¡¯s taking a bath right now. You can call back in 10 minutes." ¡°¡­ Okay.¡± Xia Xingchen hung up the phone awkwardly, and for a long time, she was at a loss. Her chest was like blocked by cotton, making it hard for her to breathe. It was at this moment that she suddenly realized that she didn¡¯t even have a basic understanding of him ¨C his private life and how many women he has are all unknown to her. But when she considered it carefully, she found that with his supreme status, it was not surprising that he would have other intimate femalepanions besides Song Weiyi. Chapter 76 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy
¡°Xingchen?¡± Xu Yan opened his eyes and saw that her face was pale. She immediately came to her senses and forced a smile, ¡°Can¡¯t you fall asleep?¡± ¡°Are you alright? You look very bad." ¡°¡­ I''m fine.¡± She shook her head, "You rest first, I will¡­ go out to change my wound dressing. Xia Xingchen said while pointing at her ankle. Actually, no one would stay up to change her wound dressing now. It was just an excuse for her to go out and refresh herself. But Xu Yan didn¡¯t expose her, just nodded and let her out. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ After taking a bath, Bai Yeqing came out of the bathroom wrapped in a nightgown. On the sofa, a woman sat there with her legs crossed. She wore a white blouse, an orange skirt and 10cm-high stilettos, which made her look slimmer and prettier. No one would have thought that such a beautiful young woman would be the leader of the S National Security Department ¨C Bai Suye. ¡°When did youe back?¡± Bai Yeqing asked, wiping his hair with a towel. Bai Suye put down the newspaper and replied, ¡°Just now. My nephew is very cute.¡± ¡°Not bad.¡± Just look who''s his father. Bai Suye got up, poured two sses of red wine, and handed him one and then picked up the other herself. She leaned gracefully against the french window, and her snow-white long finger reflects the red liquid, what a beautiful scene. She looked out the window, contemting. ¡°I heard that Night Owl will enter the country tomorrow.¡± Bai Yeqing spoke. When mentioning the word ¡®Night Owl¡¯, he gazed at her with a deep look. Bai Suye held the ss tighter and paused for a moment before saying, ¡°Our security department has made a very tight deployment. I¡¯ll meet him in person tomorrow.¡± ¡°Before many of his brothers died in your hands, he looks at you as¡­ You should be very clear about how dangerous the situation will be tomorrow." Bai Suye drank up the wine to numb herself and then said calmly, ¡°Rest assured, even if it¡¯s dangerous, neither side really dares tounch attacks.¡± Bai Yeqing nodded, ¡°You just need to figure out what he¡¯sing for this time, so you don¡¯t have to confront him directly.¡± ¡°I know.¡± Who is Night Owl? He used to be the leader of mercenaries. Nowadays, his status is on a par with Mafia Boss in international society. His legions and weapons are strong enough topete with the whole army of a country, and he has also assassinated the leader of W country, so all countries are afraid of him. If he and the security apartment fight tomorrow, it will absolutely be a battle between the two armies, and the consequences are hard to imagine. ¡°Feel free to report to me about tomorrow''s situation.¡± ¡°OK.¡± Bai Suye put down her ss and prepared to go out. After taking a step, she paused and looked back at him, ¡°By the way, a woman just called you. I asked her to call back in ten minutes.¡± Bai Yeqing raised his eyebrows, threw away his towel, grabbed his phone and typed in the password. It was her. Good, it seemed that she hadn¡¯tpletely forgotten him. ¡°Xia Xingchen¡­¡± Bai Suye murmured the name, ¡°If I don''t get it wrong, she¡¯s my little nephew¡¯s mother?¡± ¡°H''m.¡± Bai Suye nodded slightly and took a nce at him, saying meaningfully, ¡°Song Guoyao is interested in marriage recently. Seize your chance and don¡¯t leave it to Yu Zeyao.¡± ¡°Go to sleep.¡± Bai Yeqing¡¯s eyes looked dark and unfathomable, and he didn''t respond to her remark. Bai Suye believed that he knew how to weigh the advantages and disadvantages, so without much verbosity, she opened the door and went back to her own room. As soon as Bai Suye left, Bai Yeqing turned his phone over and checked the time again. Nine minutes had passed. He put down the phone and sat leisurely on the sofa, checking his mailbox with iPad and waiting for her call. As a result¡­ The second ten minutes had passed, he nced into his phone which didn¡¯t ring again. Finally, he lost his patience. He threw the iPad aside, grabbed the phone and walked towards the children¡¯s room. The Elder Madame was too old to stand upte, so she put down the storybook and prepared to go to bed. Just then, Bai Yeqing came in. Xia Dabai only exposed a pair of eyes in his quilt, ¡°Little Bai, why aren¡¯t you asleep yet?¡± ¡°H''m.¡± ¡°I just met my aunt.¡± Talking about his beautiful aunt, the little fellow became a little bit shy, ¡°Aunt praised me for being handsome, and she''s very beautiful too! Dad, could you please bring me to see my aunt more frequently in the future?" Bai Yeqing took a nce at him and said mercilessly, ¡°Don¡¯t cast eyes on your aunt. You two don¡¯t match.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Thoughts being exposed at once, Xia Dabai blushed with embarrassment. Then he hummed and turned away to avoid his father from seeing his difort. Little Bai is really not cute at all! ¡°Do you miss your mother?¡± Bai Yeqing sat down beside the bed, ignoring his discontent. ¡°Of course I do! Little Bai, what do you think Dabao is doing now?" When ites to mom, Xia Dabai got over his anger immediately and knit his eyebrows, ¡°She said she would say ''Happy Birthday'' to you in person, but now it¡¯s about 12 o¡¯clock, soon your birthday will be over!¡± This kid always touches the tender spot. He put on a sullen face and threw his phone to his son. Xia Dabai yed with the phone while looking at him in a confused way, "What¡¯s wrong?" ¡°You said you miss her and want to know what she¡¯s doing now. So just call and ask her yourself, then you''ll know.¡± ¡°Good! I¡¯ll call her now!¡± Xia Dabai entered that familiar phone number. Before he dialed the number, he remembered something, so he turned his big eyes around and stared at Bai Yeqing, ¡°Little Bai, in fact, you miss Dabao a lot, right?¡± ¡°¡­ Nonsense!¡± ¡°Then you don¡¯t miss her?¡± ¡°No, I don''t!¡± He denied with a sullen face. ¡°Well, actually, I don¡¯t miss Dabao that much. Besides, it¡¯s veryte and Dabao must have gone to bed. Let¡¯s not disturb her.¡± Xia Dabai gave back the phone, yawnedzily and slid further under the covers, ¡°Dad, you can also go to sleep now!¡± Humph! How could say that aunt and I don''t match! ¡°¡­¡± Now the president¡¯s face turned as ck as the pot''s bottom. He took the phone away and stood up, ¡°Now I¡¯m going to find your aunt and warn her to watch out as there¡¯s a kid coveting her beauty.¡± ¡°Nooooo!¡± This little fellow jumped out of bed and held Bai''s legs tightly, "Don¡¯t talk nonsense, Daddy, that''s too embarrassing¡­ Besides, I am not coveting, I just¡­ I just like her very much! Don¡¯t you like Dabao, too?" Chapter 77 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy ¡°So will you make the call?¡± Bai Yeqing looked down at his son. If he couldn''t even handle a kid, how could he be the leader of a country? This little fellow pouted and nodded obediently, "¡­I will make the call, just give me your phone." ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Xia Xingchen had been out for a while, Xu Yan was worried about her as she looked in a bad mood. But he could only lie in bed, unable to move. Just as he was about to ask the nurse to look for her, her phone on the bedside suddenly rang. It was veryte now, so he thought this might be an urgent call, then he struggled to reach for the phone and saw the screen, the light in his eyes became dim all of a sudden. It read ¡®Future Husband¡¯. Who could be her ¡®Future Husband¡¯? Yu Zenan, or¡­ Mr. President? Feeling his heart constrict, Xu Yan incautiously touched the answering button. By the time he came to himself, the call has been connected. ¡°Hello, Dabao, where are you?¡± Xu Yan was relieved to hear the kid¡¯s tender voice and he spirited up again. It turned out to be Dabai. He had thought too much just now. ¡°Hey, Dabao, why don¡¯t you talk?¡± ¡°Are you Dabai? I¡¯m not Xingchen.¡± Spoke Xu Yan. On the other end, Xia Dabai went nk. Blinking with big eyes for a long time, then he said, ¡°So you are¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m Uncle Xu Yan.¡± ¡°Uncle Xu Yan?¡± Xia Dabai repeated, and someone¡¯s face immediately froze. He took the phone from Dabai and pressed the hands-free button, and then threw it on the bed. After that, he gave his son the tip to continue talking. ¡°Uncle, you¡­ are still with Dabao at thiste hour?" ¡°Yeah. She¡¯s in the bathroom now. I¡¯ll ask her to call you backter, okay?" "Good. But¡­ Have you been together all day today?" ¡°Yes.¡± Xu Yan was afraid that Dabai would be worried about his mother, so he didn''t tell Dabai the ident today. He simply said, ¡°We¡¯ve been together all the time today. Don''t worry about your mother. She¡¯ll go back tomorrow.¡± So¡­ ¡°Dabao will spend tonight with you?¡± Xia Dabai asked, ncing at someone with his big eyes: What should I do? What a situation, poor Little Bai¡­ He seems to have no chance now! ¡°Well, barring idents, I think so.¡± ¡°Okay, I¡¯ll hang up now¡­¡± Before Dabai finished, a hand reached over and hung up the phone abruptly. Xia Dabai looked at someone¡¯s deadpan face, shrank his neck timidly, and quickly slid into the covers. Bai Yeqing picked up his phone without expression, said nothing, and walked away. ¡°Well¡­ Little Bai¡­¡± When he reached the door, the little fellow called him in a low voice. He paused without turning back. Xia Dabai asked sadly, ¡°Is Uncle Xu in love with Dabao? Will Dabao marry him in the future?" ¡°¡­ Whatever she wants!¡± Leaving these three words, he opened the door and went out. Every step he took was heavy and rigid. The hands hanging on the side of his body were clenched and the back of his hands were covered with green veins. ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Xu Yan didn¡¯t think much about the bang-down of the call, as he believed it was caused by a poor signal. Xia Xingchen looked for a nurse and have changed her dressing. After returning to the ward, she found Xu Yan was still awake. ¡°Is it too painful to sleep?¡± She asked while helping him to slow down the drops on his arm. ¡°You haven¡¯te back for so long, so I''m a little bit worried. Oh, your phone rang just now, and I''ve answered it for you. It was from Dabai." Xia Xingchen originally thought it was Bai Yeqing¡¯s call, but when she heard Xu Yan¡¯s following words, her spirited heart sank again. She reached for her phone and checked the call record, then the name ¡°Future Husband¡± reflected in her eyes. Xia Xingchen also wanted to say ¡°good night¡± to her son, so she called back. But this time, the phone rang only once and then was rejected by someone without hesitation. She was slightly surprised. She knew it must be Bai Yeqing who rejected her call, so she gave up making another call to embarrass herself. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ One night had passed. Xia Xingchen spent the whole night sleeping on the bedside. Only when Xu¡¯s parents came did she wake up. The coat that covered her slipped on the ground, she picked it up and found it was Xu Yan¡¯s coat. ¡°It¡¯s sote?¡± She looked at the time, it¡¯s past 8 o¡¯clock, ¡°You are going to have surgery soon.¡± ¡°Are you OK for sleeping like this the whole night?¡± Asked Xu Yan. Xia Xingchen folded the coat and put it aside, shaking her head, ¡°It¡¯s better than lying in bed and not moving.¡± After a while, the attending doctor and nurse went inside the room. The doctor examined his condition carefully, confirmed that everything was normal, and asked the medical staff to push him into the operating room. The doctor discussed Xu Yan¡¯s operation procedure with his father, while Xia Xingchen and Xu''s mother listened by their side. After the doctor entered the operating room, Xia Xingchen checked the time and said to Xu''s mother, ¡°Aunt, I want to go home first as Xu Yan is having an operation now.¡± Xu Mu nodded patted her hand, ¡°Thank you so much forst night. Now that he¡¯s having an operation, you can go back and have a good rest. By the way, do you have any work to deal with today?" ¡°It''s okay, I¡¯ll ask for leave.¡± Mother Xu sighed, hesitating. ¡°Aunt, just go ahead.¡± Said Xia Xingchen. Listening to her words, Xu''s mother spoke frankly, ¡°I''m not a selfish person, but¡­ Come to the hospital to see Xu Yan if you are free, please. I don¡¯t know if you can tell what he¡¯s thinking about you, but I¡¯m his mother and I believe that if you coulde and spend more time with him, he would heal much faster. I¡¯m not in good health, so I can¡¯t apany him all the time¡­¡± Xia Xingchen understood and nodded, ¡°You can rest assured, Xu Yan tried to save me. Even if you don¡¯t tell me these things, I¡¯ll stille here to apany him once I have the time. I¡¯ll go back to tidy myself up, pack up some things, and cook some soup to nourish him." Hearing what she said, Xu''s mother was relieved, smiling, ¡°I used to like you very much, and now I know I¡¯m not mistaken. Although Xu Yan had been with Xingkong before, Xingkong was impetuous and not as reliable as you." Xia Xingchen really wanted to avoid this topic, especially those matters between Xu Yan and Xia Xingkong. So she just smiled faintly, ¡°Aunt, take care, I¡¯ll go back now.¡± Feeling that Xia Xingchen doesn¡¯t like to dwell on this topic, Xu''s mother didn''t continue and let her go. ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Xia Xingchen went back by taxi. Because of the ident, she still held a lingering fear, holding her seat belt tightly. Chapter 78 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy
She went back to the presidential pce in a mess, the butler saw her and walked up eximing, "Miss Xia, you finallye back." "Little master went to school, right?" "Yes, he left home in the morning." Xia Xingchen nodded slightly. She wanted to ask more but atst only said: "Please ask the kitchen staff to make a pot of soup and keep it in a thermos for me. I''ll take it away after a shower." "Got it, Miss Xia." She then went upstairs to take a shower. Only after that, she felt refreshed andfortable. Then she started to pack up the toiletries and some of her clothes. While she was packing up, she felt ufortable as if somebody was staring at her. As soon as she looked up, she found Bai Yeqing standing in the doorway with a cold face. His eyes looked cold and dark, like a sword to tear her up. She could feel the cold shivers on her back. She never thought that he might show up in the house right now. "Why did youe back? What for? "Bai Yeqing said coldly, mming the door using his foot. There was a loud "bang" ¨C Xia Xingchen was shocked. And then, the man grasped her arm, and she was directly pulled up. She didn''t sleep wellst night. Though she felt better after the bath, she was still exhausted and felt weak. Therefore, she bumped into his chest directly by his dragging. He got strong muscles, so it felt like she had just bumped into a wall and became dizzy. "Bai Yeqing, what are you doing?" There was already a thorn jammed within her heart, seeing his attitude, she could no longer hold back her anger. "What am I doing? I''d like to know what you were doingst night!?" He pulled her closer to himself. Her soft body was forced to arch and clung inextricably to his. He used the other hand to grab her chin and lift her face roughly, ¡°You think it''s funny to stand me up from time to time, don''t you?¡± Obviously, he was furious, and every word came out with freaking coldness. Xia Xingchen used her unconstrained hand to pull his hand. But she was too weak to fight against him. After struggling for a couple of minutes, her face turned pale because of exhaustion. "I did stand you upst night. It''s my bad. But that''s because¡­" "That''s because you were staying with Xu Yan!" Bai Yeqing interrupted her, "How does it feel spending the whole night with him?" Bai Yeqing clenched his teeth in bitter hatred, and his cool thin lips almost touched her ear, "He slept with you, didn¡¯t he? How many times did you do itst night? With what position? Who can satisfy you better, he or I? " He was aggressive, and every word spoken by him was full of humiliation and sarcasm. Already being shocked by the car ident, Xia Xingchen now flew into a rage when being bombarded with his questions. Feeling both misunderstood, belittled and angry, her eyes turned moist immediately. Even if she stood him up several times, does he have the right to say such awful words to humiliate her? It wasn''t her fault to have a car ident! ¡°These are all our private matters. Mr. President, are you really that bored to care about such trifles between men and women?¡± Xia Xingchen sneered back. Bai Yeqing frowned and clenched the hand holding her chin, her face turned paler. Doesn''t what she just said implicate that there is something between them? His eyes turned cold and sharp, like monsters going to swallow her. She felt she could barely breathe and her body was going to be crushed in his hands. The pain on her chin forced her to fight back. She wanted to open his hands but failed. So she bit him. Bai Yeqing red at her and all of a sudden he felt the whole thing was a joke. He felt bored and tired. So finally he let her go. Blood beads came out of his hand. But his eyes were still sharp and deeply cold as if he couldn''t feel the pain. He stared at her and said, " Xia Xingchen, look what you¡¯ve done!" Every single word was enough to freeze her. Finally, she could have the chance to breathe freely. She looked up at him and found the fury and disdain in his eyes. Especially the hurtful disdain was so true that she couldn''t ignore. "I just didn''t keep my word. I didn''te backst night. Why should you insult me like that? And¡­" She paused, lowered her head to pack up her stuff. And after a short silence came her exnation, "I know there must be someone celebrating your birthday with youst night. I don''t want to humiliate myself¡­" Bai Yeqing didn''t know what she was saying. He just watched her packing. As she moved, his eyes grew darker and scarier. After watching her put away all the stuff, he seemed to finally find the chance to his outburst. He knocks all the things she just tidied up on the floor. ¡°BANG-¡± All of a sudden, the toiletries and clothes all fell out and shattered around the ground. Xia Xingchen was shocked by the loud noise that she couldn''t concentrate for a while. She was too tired to quarrel with him. So she just crouched down and continued packing up. Bai Yeqing stood there, looking down at her, "Xia Xingchen, you want to leave, don''t you?" "At least I won''te back in a couple of days." It''s inconvenient for her to travel back and forth between the presidential residence and the hospital as these two ces were far away from each other. So she nned to stay at Weiyang''s home for several days. She wouldn¡¯te back until Xu Yan got through the most difficult couple of days, there''s no need for her to always be there. These words made Bai Yeqing furious. She was going to be with that guy all night again. He was too furious to choose his words carefully: "You just slept with him. I bet that was so good that you can''t wait to do it again. Right?" Xia Xingchen couldn''t bear this anymore, "You are being unreasonable! I just want to take care of him! That''s not like what you thought!" "Taking care of him? In the bedroom? Leaving your family behind for him? What''s your rtionship? Why do you need to do such things for him? " Bai Yeqing felt a fire burning in his chest, which made him lose his manners and mind. Xia Xingchen wanted to exin to him but she only found his eyes are like cold knives. ¡°Xia Xingchen,¡± he continued, ¡°If you really can''t wait to leave, get out. Nevere back.¡± "No one in this family likes you except Xia Dabai." He added as he thought what he said just then couldn''t hurt her. Xia Xingchen waspletely shocked. She clenched the luggage in her hand more tightly. It''s as if she has been punched so hard that everything she wants to exin has been mmed back into her throat, choking her. His words, however, reminded her that she can''t get in the family without Xia Dubai in the first ce. One day there will be a new mistress, and she will have to leave sooner orter¡­ She would either go on her own or be thrown out one day. Her vacant look made Bai Yeqing feel a little nervous and confused. He frowned. If he could be given a second, he would take it back. Chapter 79 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy But how dare she? If she dared to leave, he would never urge her to stay! With that in mind, he turned coldly and left. Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t feel physically exhausted until the door was mmed. She fell to the ground, leaning against the end of the bed, her eyes were brimming with tears again. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Bai Yeqing came downstairs with an aura of stern anger and coldness, which had frozen the atmosphere downstairs like millennium ice. The servants all remained silent and dared not breathe heavily. Since little Master and Miss Xia moved in, it had been rare to see His Excellency behave in this way! Just then, the butler came out of the kitchen and ordered the servant, ¡°Prepare this soup for Miss Xia.¡± When the Butler had finished, he noticed something was wrong with the president and hurriedly saluted, ¡°Your Excellency.¡± ¡°What is this?¡± Bai Yeqing looked at the soup coldly. ¡°This is what Miss Xia asked me to cook when she just came back, saying she wanted to take it away.¡± His face got more sullen, ¡°Take it to the backyard and feed the dog.¡± ¡°¡­¡± The Butler was stunned: Feed the dog? What a waste! Besides, how should I tell Miss Xia?! ¡°Do you need me to say that again?¡± Bai Yeqing was quite impatient. He frowned at the butler and his stare scared the butler to sweat cold on the forehead. Hurriedly he replied, ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll do it right now.¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Xia Xingchen stood at the window and watched his car disappear into view before she came down with her luggage. ¡°Miss Xia, I¡¯m really sorry, your soup¡­¡± The butler felt embarrassed. ¡°I¡¯ve heard it upstairs. Never mind. I¡¯ll just go out and buy it.¡± Xia Xingchen shook her head andforted the butler. The butler sighed and noticed the luggage she was carrying, was a little bit surprised, ¡°Miss Xia, you are¡­¡± ¡°I may not be here for a long time.¡± No wonder His Excellency is in such a bad mood. The butler thought and then said. ¡°Little master would be sad if he knew Miss Xia will not be at home for a long time.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll exin to himter.¡± Now her urgent task was to find a residence, after that, she will negotiate with Bai Yeqing about their son and make the final fight, though she knew that she had no advantage in this issue. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Xu Yan was still in the operating room when she returned to the hospital. She left her luggage in the ward and apanied Xu¡¯s parents quietly waiting outside the operating room. Xia Xingchen, if you want to go, just get out of here and nevere back! In this family, except Dabai, nobody cares about you! Bai Yeqing¡¯s words were lingering in her mind, stirred her heart and brain in pain. She stared nkly at the ground and her eyes looked dim and empty. ¡°Xingchen? Xingchen.¡± On her side, Xu''s mother called her twice, and then she suddenly came to her senses, responding, "Ah?" Xu¡¯s parents had already got up and said, ¡°He''sing out!¡± It turned out that Xu Yan¡¯s operation was over. The doctor came out of the room with ease, took off the mask and greeted Xu¡¯s parents, ¡°The operation went smoothly. Next, as long as Mr. Xu stays in bed for some time, he would surely recover soon depending on his good physical quality.¡± ¡°Thank God!¡± Xu''s mother Xu folded her hands together and made bows. ¡°Thank you, doctor, thank you so much.¡± Xu''s father shook hands with the doctor and thanked him. Standing a few meters away, Xia Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, she could finally rest assured as Xu Yan was okay. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Before Chi Weiyang arrived home from work, it was past 9 p.m.. She was pulling out the key to open the door and the light on her head automatically turned on because of the sound of her keychain, by then she saw someone squatting beside the door and got shocked. ¡°Xingchen? Do you want to scare me to death!?¡± Xia Xingchen got up and patted off the dust on her trousers, ¡°If you didn¡¯te back, I would have been frozen to death.¡± ¡°Why not call me? How long have you been here?" ¡°For quite a while.¡± Chi Weiyang then opened the door and let Xia Xingchen in. Seeing the luggage that Xia Xingchen was carrying, Chi Weiyang asked, ¡°What happened?¡± ¡°I would like to stay with you for a few days, will I disturb you?¡± Chi Weiyang checked her luggage and said, ¡°You even brought bathroom amenities with you, it seems that you don''t n to stay for only a few days, do you?¡± Xia Xingchen didn''t answer her question but went into the kitchen and took the noodles out of the refrigerator, asking, ¡°Did you have dinner?¡± ¡°Not yet.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll cook some noodles and we¡¯ll eat together.¡± Xia Xingchen paused and then continued in a low voice, ¡°Tomorrow I''ll go to find a ce to stay. Do you have any rmendations in your neighborhood?¡± Chi Weiyang put down her luggage and went to the kitchen. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is the presidential residence not big enough to hold you and you keep running away from it?" Water was boiling on the fire, Xia Xingchen leaned against the worktop, skillfully whipping eggs. Chi Weiyang¡¯s words came to her ears, a touch of bitterness crawled on her face. She worked with a faraway look in her eyes, ¡°That''s not my home, so I have to move out sooner orter. It¡¯s a good thing to leave early while I¡¯m not fully ustomed to the life there.¡± Chi Weiyang supported herself by putting her hands on the worktop, observing Xia Xingchen, then inquired, "Why do I feel that what you refer to is your feelings for Mr. President?" Knowing that there is no future, it is human¡¯s instinct of self-protection for one to get away as soon as possible before he/she gets stuck in it. Xia Xingchen paused and contemted for a while before denying, ¡°What I refer to is the atmosphere at home¡­¡± Chi Weiyang sighed, ¡°Did you two quarrel?¡± She didn''t refer to Bai Yeqing explicitly, but Xia Xingchen understood who was she talking about. She nodded and shook her head, ¡°We did quarrel, but¡­ It¡¯s not all about quarreling with him that I want to move out.¡± ¡°Why else?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen stopped whipping eggs, thought for a while, and then said, ¡°Did you see him dancing with Song Weiyi at his birthday party the other day?¡± ¡°Yeah.¡± ¡°They''re a good match, aren''t they?¡± ¡°¡­ Indeed.¡± Chi Weiyang said honestly, ¡°Theye from families of equal status, so they are naturally a good match.¡± ¡°You were on the dance floor all the time, and you should have heard that they are going to get married, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s exactly what vice-president Song talked with the president¡¯s elder sister, and they¡­ they did keep talking about Song Weiyi¡¯s engagement to the President.¡± Saying that, Chi Weiyang paused, observed her expression, and then continued, ¡°They said that¡­ it would be better for the President and Song Weiyi to get engaged as soon as possible." Xia Xingchen began whipping eggs again like a robot, smiling bitterly and saying, ¡°I can¡¯t afford to be cheeky enough to wait until Song Weiyies in and drives me away, can I?" Chapter 80 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy ¡°Of course not. That will be so embarrassing. But Xingchen¡­" Chi Weiyang looked at her tentatively, ¡°Are you sure that you¡¯re not moving out because of jealousy?¡± Because of jealousy? Xia Xingchen''s heart skipped a beat and looked at Song Weiyi nkly. ¡°Think about it, are you unhappy because of the President and Song Weiyi or not?¡± Chi Weiyang urged her, ¡°If that¡¯s the reason you want to move out, then¡­ I¡¯m afraid it¡¯s not just the atmosphere at home that you wanted to get rid of.¡± Xia Xingchen remained silent and fixed her eyes at the egg mixture. Chi Weiyang sighed, ¡°Xingchen, if you were not my friend, I would certainly encourage you to hang out with the President; that''s so cool and every woman in Country S must be dreaming about it, right? However, you are my good friend, I can only advise you that¡­ Don¡¯t bring destruction on yourself, orter the only one that suffers will be you." Xia Xingchen still said nothing, so Chi Weiyang couldn''t figure out what she was thinking, but as a friend, that¡¯s all she could do. At the moment, the water began boiling, Chi Weiyang took the noodles out and put them in the pot. Xia Xingchen also turned on the gas to fry eggs. For a long while, neither of them talked to each other. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ On the other side. Bai Yeqing didn¡¯t return to the presidential residence tonight but stayed in the lounge of the office. At two o¡¯clock in the morning, he was still reading the working style rectification documents presented to him. While reading, his attention started to wander. He had asked Xu Yan to trante a document during the day, by then he knew that Xu had taken leave of absence for two consecutive days! Do they really need that much time to spend together?! Harboring a testy mood, he turned off the lights, threw away the papers and got up anxiously. He walked to the window, lit a cigarette and had two smokes heavily. Though being immersed in the deep darkness, the gloomy clouds over his head still lingered. Overlooking the vast starry sky and the whole country belongs to him, what he felt was only loneliness and emptiness: will that woman stay in the presidential residence obediently tonight? His private phone rang abruptly. He turned around but didn''t answer it immediately. In the deep darkness, the light on the screen was a bit dazzling. There are only a few people who know his number, including her. As the phone rang the fifth time, he put off his cigarette and picked it up. However, when he saw the number on the screen, a trace of stern gloom appeared in his eyes. It was not her call, and the name read ''Bai Suye''. ¡°Night Owl has entered the country.¡± Reported Bai Suye. ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Bai Yeqing didn''t sleep well that night. The next day, early in the morning, he stood on the White Feather Pce, watched the g-raising, and breathed in the fresh air, but he still felt his chest stifled. He took out his cell phone, rubbed his fingers on the screen for a moment, and finally dialed the number to the presidential pce. ¡°Hello.¡± The butler¡¯s voice came from the other end. ¡°It¡¯s me.¡± ¡°Your Excellency.¡± ¡°Has little master gotten up?¡± ¡°Yes, he''s having breakfast now.¡± Bai Yeqing murmured for a while and then asked casually, ¡± Is Xia Xingchen having breakfast with him?¡± ¡°No. Miss Xia didn''te backst night. And¡­¡± The butler heard the breath on the other end suddenly got heavier, he subconsciously stopped, wondering whether he should continue or not. ¡°And what?¡± Asked Bai Yeqing. ¡°And¡­ When she left yesterday, she said that she wouldn''te back in the near future.¡± Bai Yeqing stood there holding his cell phone, and the morning sun that shone on him then turned into a cool mist. For a long time, he adjusted his breath and uttered three words stiffly, ¡°Whatever she likes!¡± ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Bai Yeqing had been away for a whole week. After returning home, Xia Xingchen still didn''t return to the presidential residence. While on the other side. Xu Yan was recovering soon, and Xia Xingchen would asionally visit him. That day, he couldn¡¯t stand staying in the hospital after he could walk by himself, so he was discharged. Xu¡¯s parents apanied him back to his apartment. In the evening, they called Xingchen to invite her for dinner. As Xu Yan was discharged, Xia Xingchen atst felt relieved and she didn''t refuse their invitation. After work, she went to the supermarket and bought some food before going to Xu Yan''s apartment. After dinner, it was already dark. Xu Yan was on crutches, but he insisted on apanying her to the entrance of themunity. At the elevator entrance, Xia Xingchen stopped him, ¡°Stop here. You¡¯re not fully recovered yet. Your wound may hurt again if you walked too much.¡± Xu Yan leaned against the wall and looked infatuatedly at her, his eyes full of wistfulness. He knew that once she left, maybe she wouldn''t appear in front of him again for a long time¡­ He exchanged his injury for herpany during this period of time. ¡°Well, throw away those passionate thoughts and get in now.¡± Xia Xingchen avoided his stare and pushed the button to open the elevator. Xu Yan abruptly reached out and pulled her over. Being surprised, she was bumped into the arms of this man; at that moment, a cold face shed in her mind, she got anxious and subconsciously tried to push Xu Yan away. ¡°Xu Yan, you¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m injured. You can¡¯t push me.¡± Xu Yan whispered to remind her. Xia Xingchen sighed and remained still, murmuring, ¡°Xu Yan, for me, everything between us has already passed.¡± He grinned bitterly, ¡°Xingchen, you are so cruel.¡± Now they two both leaned against the wall, whispering to each other. There was a dim light on the wall that cast a glow over them, but their expressions were hard to distinguish. Nevertheless¡­ Their entangled bodies formed a sweet and romantic scene ¨C they looked like a real couple. Neither of them noticed that not far away, a car was hidden in a corner at night. The man in the car stared at them, and his eyes grew colder and more ferocious. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Xia Xingchen came out of Xu Yan¡¯s apartment and got on the bus. Two days ago, she found an apartment and moved out of Chi Weiyang¡¯s house. However, she has not yet adapted to living there alone as she seemed to have been used to the lively atmosphere in the presidential residence. Now when she was lying in the darkness at night, she always felt deste and empty. But I have to get used to these things. She thought, staring out of the window absent-mindedly. At night, there were few people on the bus, and her surroundings were quiet. With the bus driving on, she just felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, then she fell asleep in a trance. Chapter 81 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy The bus bumped its ways quietly and slowly down the drive that night. She was so sleepy that she soon fell asleep on the bus. The bus went straight on. Groups of passengers got on and off. Sleeping like a log, Xia Xingchen had no idea that someone came to the seat next to her. A masked man in ck sat next to her with a cold look. At the same time, a line of luxury cars followed the bus unhurriedly. They didn''t overtake the bus but went along carefully with it. She leaned while sleeping and unconsciouslyid her head on the man''s shoulder. The man wearing a mask frowned as he felt her head on his shoulder. He could feel her warm and alluring breath on his neck. He looked down at her face but felt even more upset. She''s pretty, nice and quiet when she''s asleep, like an angel out of this world. That guy must have seen this a lot! It made him mad to think about it. Now, he just wanted to push her head away. His strong push made her lean to the other side. Tensing up as he saw that her was about to hit her head on the window, he quickly used his hand to protect her. Now, her head bumped into his warm hand. With a sigh of relief he became angry with himself for being capricious. He was more annoyed to look at her. She''s sleeping well though. But how could she sleep well? The push almost woke her up. She opened her eyes a bit while she was half asleep. She had no idea where she was. She felt there was a man sitting next to her and subconsciously thought that was Xu Yan. So she whispered, "Xu Yan?" She thought she had already said goodbye to him. Why was he still here? Was she dreaming? She closed her eyes and fell asleep again. She had been exhausted recently. She had hardly slept well this week. But the name she just whispered was clearly heard by the man next to her. He could feel the fire burning inside his chest. His eyes turned dark. He pinched her face and took his mask off at the same time. His lips covered hers right before she found out what''s happening. The breath¡­ The kiss¡­ Xia Xingchen knew the kiss but she felt like she was dreaming. She thought he was in Istanbul now because his tour was always in the news. Even if he''s not there, it''s impossible for him to be here on the bus. ¡­ ¡­ Has Xu Yan ever kissed her like that? Did her tongue respond to him while kissing? So many questions about Xu Yan crossed into Bai Yeqing''s head. He never knew that he could be so jealous. Before he found out the answer, her soft lips quivered as if she can''t wait to kiss him. She couldn''t control herself in the dream and she didn''t even want to. At that moment¡­ Suddenly he felt that the kiss was going to tear him apart. The soft and beautiful feeling on the lips made his heart beat faster. But wait¡­ Damn it! She must have mistaken him for Xu Yan! So was she such an enthusiastic kisser when she kissed Xu Yan? Did she always respond to him like these? He got angry while thinking about it. He kissed her as if he''s going to swallow her and touched her as if he''s trying to remove all the traces that Xu Yan left. ¡­ ¡­ Fortunately, the bus was approaching the terminal. There was nobody on the rear of the bus except them. And it was very dark inside. The asional neon light made the scene more indistinct. It was a good ce for lovers to make out. Young couples love ces like this. Xia Xingchen was still half-awake. Or maybe actually she''s already awake but she dared not to open her eyes. It was more like a dream. She didn''t believe he could actually show up. But the fragrance of his lips was telling her¨Cthat''s him. That''s him. Her long eyshes trembled badly and her nose twitched. In a daze, she felt someone took her upon hisp. The cold touch on her breast made her to immediately woke up. "Don''t¡­" she began to groan softly. She tried to move backward but her back bone hit the seat in front of them. There''s no room for her to move. What''s happening?! They were on a bus! "What do you mean by saying ''stop''? Are you kidding me, Xia Xingchen?" He wouldn''t let her go. If she had been half-awake just now, she camepletely awake now. The bus braked to a halt. Being pulled back made her realize that what happened just now was not a dream. The man had alreadye back! And he''s now on the bus with her! "Bai Yeqing, are you crazy?!" Winter''sing but she''s sweating. She dragged his hands away with her trembling hands. "Not here! We are on the bus!" "Who''s crazy, you or me?" Bai Yeqing pinched her chin and looked into her eyes. "Xia Xingchen, you were enjoying the kiss just now." The way they whispered made the scene more appealing. Xia Xingchen could feel her heart sped up and she blushed. She dared not look back to see if the driver had spotted them in the back. She would rather die than been spotted. What she didn''t know was that the bus had already been parked in the darkest ce and the bus driver had already been sent out by Leng Fei politely. Now inside the bus, there was nobody except them but outside the bus, there were many people guarding. "I didn''t provoke you!" Xia Xingchen bit her lips and said, "I¡­I thought I was just dreaming¡­" "Dreaming? What dream? A wet dream with Xu Yan?" Bai Yeqing gnashed and his eyes turned dark as if his thoughts irritate himself. Suddenly he turned her around¡­ A sense of danger suddenly hit her. Xia Xingchen felt ashamed as her body was shaking. Chapter 82 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy She was both shocked and nervous, reaching out behind to push him wildly, ¡°Bai Yeqing, I won¡¯t let you do that¡­ You rapist¡­¡± This kind of address was harsh for him. Bai Yeqing squinted, turned her face around and bit her ear, ¡°If Xu Yan wants to sleep with you, you won''t refuse, will you?¡± ¡°I¡¯m not your pet, you can¡¯t humiliate me like this, disregarding my feelings¡­¡± Xia Xingchen¡¯s eyshes jittered violently, and a thinyer of mist wrapped them up. She grasped the front resting handrail so tightly that her fingers grew pale. Seeing Bai Yeqing behaving so rude and like a beast, she was somewhat scared, as she couldn''t imagine what she would have experienced if he got herid now. It was even possible that he would tear her apart! Bai Yeqing gasped heavily, his hands were still on her waist, holding her tightly, but he didn''t go further. He tried very hard to restrain himself from doing it right now. At this moment¡­ Xia Xingchen¡¯s mobile phone rang abruptly. She dropped her cell phone on the chair just now, and when it rang, the screen kept shing and the light shone on them. Xia Xingchen blushed and she was relieved that he didn''t find it out as she was facing him with her back. But¡­ The next moment, when she saw the name on the screen, her relief disappeared immediately, because the one who called turned out to be Xu Yan! She felt that Bai Yeqing minded about Xu Yan very much, probably because she stood him up on his birthday and stayed with Xu Yan. Therefore, every time she mentioned Xu Yan, he would be very annoyed. At present, seeing this name, she was afraid that this man would get furious again! Xia Xingchen was a little panicky and reached out to grab her cell phone. However, Bai Yeqing grabbed the other end of the cell phone at the same time. He shot a nce at her, but she didn''t let go of the phone. ¡°Let go!¡± Hemanded in a warning tone. Xia Xingchen didn''t move. He continued, ¡°If you don¡¯t let go, I will have you here right now!¡± ¡°¡­¡± She bit her lip, wondering whether he dares to do so or not. ¡°One!¡± He stared at her and started counting. She loosened her fingers a little and stared at him. He was as indifferent as ever, ¡°Two!¡± When the man counted to three, Xia Xingchen loosened her grip immediately. Bai Yeqing pressed the answering button directly and put it by his ear. Xu Yan¡¯s voice of concern came from the other end. ¡°Hello, Xingchen, have you got home??¡± ¡°¡­¡± Xia Xingchen still bit her lip and stared at Bai Yeqing, wondering what he really wanted to do. But she could guess that he wouldn''t say anything good. Hearing no answer, Xu Yan was worried and inquired hurriedly, ¡°Xingchen, are you there?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Bai Yeqing finally spoke. While speaking, he was staring at her with deep and cold eyes, which were hard to see through. Xia Xingchen tried to snatch her cell phone, but seeing his frightening look, her hand froze in the air, and then she withdrew her hand with embarrassment. She always feels helpless with this man, so whatever he likes to say! Anyway, there is no future between she and Xu Yan. With that thought, Xia Xingchen became calm. Just then Bai Yeqing continued, ¡°She''s doing exercises with me now¡­ Exercises on the bed¡­ She¡¯s very tired, so I guess she cannot answer your phone. But I can pass on your words to her¡­" ¡°Bai Yeqing!¡± What a man! Xia Xingchen blushed again. Although it is impossible for her to continue with Xu Yan, she is a woman after all, not as thick-faced as Bai Yeqing is! ¡°If you don¡¯t want another round, put on your skirt and get ready to get off the bus.¡± Bai Yeqing, however, ignored her protest and spoke more openly. And clearly, he said these to Xu Yan deliberately. Xia Xingchen was so angry that her eyes became red, and she stared back at him with a mist of grievance in her eyes. But he reminded her with the embarrassing situation of them two, so she turned back, tidied herself up and got off the bus. Bai Yeqing seemed quite satisfied with Xu Yan¡¯s call as he looked not as cold as before. He added, ¡°Sorry, we¡¯re busy now. Let¡¯s talk another day.¡± Then he pressed the hang-up button directly and kept up with Xia Xingchen. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ When hearing the sound ''di-'', Xu Yan still didn''t collect his thoughts. It was not until his mother came and patted him on the shoulder that he suddenly regained consciousness. All of a sudden, he seemed to have lost his soul and leaned back on the sofa limply. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Once Xia Xingchen got off the bus, Leng Fei stopped her. Remembering the scene on the bus, she looked down to avoid Leng Fei''s stare. They must have all seen that scene. ¡°Let me go.¡± She said to Leng Fei while dodging to leave. But after only two steps, she was stopped by another person again. She was somewhat discouraged and exhausted. Then she turned around and red at Bai Yeqing, who was pacing with ease. He nced at her and showed the cell phone in her hand, "Don''t you want it anymore?" Xia Xingchen suddenly remembered that she saved his private number in the name of ''Future Husband'' ¨C which Xia Dabai didn''t change though she had tried all methods. If Bai Yeqing saw that now, she would be a big joke in his eyes! She went up and reached for her cell phone, but Bai Yeqing suddenly raised her cell phone high; as a result, Xia Xingchen could only jumped into his arms. Bai Yeqing looked down at her from the top, ¡°Why do you panic?¡± Xia Xingchen bit her lip and stepped back, ¡°Give me back my cell phone.¡± Bai Yeqing stared at her for a while, he could see clearly that she had a secret from her expression, but he didn''t check her phone like a spy. Holding her cell phone in hand, he pulled the car door and said, ¡°Get in the car.¡± Xia Xingchen didn''t move, ¡°I can go back by myself¡­¡± He had little patience. With a simple grab, she was pulled over and hurled into his chest. She stared at him angrily, ¡°What on earth do you want to do?¡± ¡°Get in before I loose my patience!¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you stop provoking me?¡± She said while looking down, her voice suddenly became hoarse and her eyes darkened with a thin mist, ¡°You have so many women beside you, Song Weiyi, or any other woman. Just go to find them, why bother me?¡± As she spoke, she looked into the inquiring eyes of Bai Yeqing and felt bitter. She then removed his hand, turned around and walked away. She still remembers that day when he asked her to get out and nevere back, she also has self-esteem, so she couldn''t be that thick-faced and return to the presidential residence with him. Actually, she had made up her mind not to tangle with him anymore. But in a twinkling of an eye, his appearancepletely disrupted her life again. Bai Yeqing got stunned for a while. Next moment, he took a step forward and stopped her. ¡°What woman are you talking about just now? Exin it!¡± Bai Yeqing pulled her and pressed her against a streetmp at the bus terminal with force. Chapter 83 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy They walked along the street in dim light. His shadow covered her. "Last time on your birthday, you lost your temper when I stood you up. That''s because I thought you were with another woman. So maybe I''d better not show up¡­" Looking deep into his eyes she felt her heart was pounding the whole time so she answered him directly this time. She stopped talking as she saw his scorching look. Suddenly she felt ufortable and could hardly breathe. Slightly she pushed him away and hurried him up. But he lifted her chin and asked, "Who told you I was dating someone else that night?" Now he was confused! He was in the old house at that time. How could he go for a date? "You really have no idea?" Her eyes became moist. Bai Yeqing frowned. "My sister told me you called me that night. She said you would call me again in ten minutes but then I couldn''t even contact you. Xia Xingchen, you were staying with another man and youpletely forgot my birthday! And now you think that''s my fault?" Bai Yeqing still felt mad thinking about it. "Hmmmmmm¡­.?" Xia Xingchen was confused. So¡­that was Minister Bai who answered her phone that night. Somehow she finally felt relieved. "I dated someone else? That''s nonsense." "You know clearly if that was nonsense." Bai Yeqing stared at her intently. Xia Xingchen knew that night still stuck in his throat. It wasn''t her wish to be misunderstood and humiliated by him. She was somehow upset but still wanted to exin. But he never gave her a chance to do so. And also what he said that day did hurt her. She sighed, "I didn''t show up because of a car ident. I spent the whole night in the hospital." Bay Yeqing stared at her without a word as if he was trying to find out whether it''s true or not. "Xu Yan took me to visit my father that day but we were hit by a truck. He saved my life by turning the wheels or I could not be seriously injured. So, I should take care of him. Believe it or not." Seeing his suspicious look, she became a little angry. But then she found his face cloud over as she kept talking, which was kind of scary under the light. "Where does it hurt?" He asked sincerely, looking at her. "You mean Xu Yan? Several ribs were injured but he''s out of danger now and¡­" "I mean YOU!" Bai Yeqing stopped her, frowning. Who the hell wanted to care about him? Rib injury was not exactly serious for a man. Xia Xingchen realized that he seemed to have believed what she said. "Nothing serious. I bruised my ankles but that''s OK. But Xu Yan was badly injured." "Take back yourst sentence!" He stopped her. Before she figured out what''s going on, her right ankle was grabbed by him. She was startled and could barely stand. She steadied herself with her hand on his shoulder. "There''s a little scar." She heard him saying. Xia Xingchen looked down at him. She felt the whole thing was not real. He''s the president of the country and he brought people to their knees. But now he''s kneeling before her. He didn''t care what people would say. Xia Xingchen couldn''t tell how she felt like. Her ankle seemed to be warmer. She wanted to stop him. "It''s okay¡­" Bai Yeqing stood up slowly. Xia Xingchen took her hand back, trying to avoid his eyes. She heard him asking, "Why didn¡¯t you say that earlier?" "You didn''t give me the chance to exin¡­" she contradicted him softly. She was going to exin that day but it turned out she was thrown out unwillingly. Bai Yeqing didn''t feel sorry at all. "So does it mean that nothing had happened that night?" He was eager to know. Xia Xingchen waspletely speechless. Did he have to ask in such a high voice in front of a bunch of people? She became furious, extending her hand without an answer. "Give me my phone." "Have you slept with him?" He stared at her as if he wouldn''t stop till he got the answer. Xia Xingchen found it so difficult to talk with such a cheeky person. She tried to take her phone back but he grabbed her hand and pushed her against the light pole. "What are you talking about? What else can we do after the ident? I told you I had been taking care of him in the hospital. That''s not what you think." She was kind of mad. She could tell from his look that he finally felt satisfied. Seeing his expression softened, she finally felt rxed. Following him for a while she asked, "Can I get my phone back now?" "Is there anything precious on your phone?" He looked at her. She shook her head. There must be something on her phone! "Get in the car. I''ll give it to youter." ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ He got rid of the whole bunch of people and drove her home. Xia Xingchen hardly had the chance to get in his car before. Sitting next to him, she felt the night was like a dream. They didn''t talk along the way. Though they resolved all the misunderstandings, there was still something unpleasant left between them. He humiliated her and threw her out that day. Xia Xingchen always thought it was a wise decision to move out and live alone so she wouldn''t beg for a ce to live in. Bai Yeqing hated backing out and he would never ask her to move back. Soon they arrived at the residential area she lived in. "Here we are." She unfastened her seat belt. It''s prettyte now, the whole area is silent like in deep slumber. Chapter 84 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy "Here we are." She unfastened her seat belt. It''s prettyte now, the whole area is silent like in deep sleep. "OK." Bai Yeqing handed the phone to her. Xia Xingchen opened the door. She thought for a second and told him, "If Dabai is still awake when you arrive at home, give him a goodnight kiss for me." Bai Yeqing frowned, "If you really want to, do it yourself though." "¡­¡­" She kept quiet for a moment. "OK. Time to say goodbye now." She pointed to her apartment. Bai Yeqing frowned tightly, watching her disappearing in the corridor. He took out his phone and called Fu Yichen, "Send some scar gel to my office tomorrow." ¡­¡­¡­¡­ In the apartment, Xia Xingchen stood by the window, watching him driving off. She didn''t turn on the lights until his carpletely disappeared from her sight. Then she went to have a bath. She couldn''t fall asleep, tossing about in her bed after shower. She didn''t spend a long time in the presidential residence, but she''s already used to having someone sleep in the room next to hers. At least, she loved to have her little child around. So¡­ Maybe they really needed to talk about their child. It would be great if she could have her child around for several days a week. She kept thinking about it. The picture on the bus suddenly jumped into mind, which made her feel ashamed. She had no idea how that happened. ¡­¡­ Bai Yeqing went to Xia Dabai''s room after getting home. The little one was in his bed but he couldn''t fall asleep. Xia Dabai smiled as Bai Yeqing opened the door. His eyes looked just like a upside-down crescent moon. "Little Bai, you''re back!" "Yes." He was still cold. Xia Dabai sat up immediately. He looked straight behind Bai Yeqing as if he''s waiting for someone to pop up. Bai Yeqing knew exactly what he''s looking for. "She''s not back." "¡­¡­" He looked upset like a deted balloon. "Little Bai, it''s all your fault! She wouldn''t leave if you hadn''t bullied her! Now she won''te back!" Bai Yeqing frowned, "Go to sleep now!" Xia Dabai moaned andy down but still couldn''t fall asleep. He sat up again, staring at him, and griped, "Little Bai, why are you so bad at pursuingdies?" "You are annoying!" said Bai Yeqing with his lips twitching. "You have to amuse her when she''s down. Why were you mad at her? Dabao is not like me, she couldn''t bear your bad temper¡­" Bai Yeqing was sick to death of hisints. The boy had been so annoying these days! He ignored himpletely and turned off the light. What''s going on? A four-year-old boy tried to teach him how to pursuingdies? ¡­¡­ The next day. Xia Xingchen went home with Chi Weiyang after work. She found a bookstore on the way and bought some books. She found that she finally had time to enjoy herself. Maybe reading was the best choice. Xu Yan phoned her when she just got home. She still felt awkward thinking aboutst night. So she wasn''t sure whether to pick up the phone. Fortunately it was Xu Yan''s mother instead of him. "Xingchen,e over for dinner tonight. You live alone anyway so why note over?" Xu Yan''s mother invited her. "No, I''m good. I already cooked dinner." She lied. "I''ve been busy these days so I am thinking that maybe I won''t go and see Xu Yan for a while. I''m sorry. Please tell Xu Yan to get enough rest." "Well, you won''t see him for a while?" Xu Yan''s mother saw there''s a disappointed look on Xu Yan''s face. She heard Xia Xingchen saying, "Yep, busy work, you know." Xu''s mother understood. There''s no need for her to keep asking Xia Xingchen toe so she hung up after saying goodbye. Xia Xingchen sighed. She told Xu Yan that they wouldn''t have a rtionship. Though he didn''t keep it in mind, he must know afterst night. After she finished the call, she called Xia Dabai''s chauffeur. The chauffeur answered respectfully, "Hold on, Miss. Xia. Little master just finished his ss." She could hear his sweet voice. "Dabao." Xia Xingchen cheered up immediately. "Would you like toe tonight? I will cook your favorite sweet and sour ribs and drumsticks. OK?" "That''s great!" Xia Dabai loved it, "Heading there now!" "Sure." Sweet feelings filled in her heart. Talking to her son was just like being in love with someone. But the more sweetness she got, the more disappointed she felt. She had no idea what to do with her boy in the future. It seemed impossible to let Xia Dabai live with her. Bai Yeqing wouldn''t allow that. She couldn''t imagine how Song Weiyi would treat Dabai after they get married. She didn''t think Song Weiyi would be a good mother. She became unhappy thinking about it. She scooped some rice up, washed it and put it in the pot. Then she started to deal with the ribs and drumsticks. Although she hadn''t cooked for a while, she''s still a good cook. She lived in a tiny apartment with a tiny square kitchen. Everything in the house was just enough for her. It''s the best ce to live alone. She almost finished cooking when someone knocked at the door. She went to open it with her apron on. "Dabao!" Xia Dabai rushed to her, hugged her and rubbed his head against her legs, "I miss you so much¡­" Actually they had met each other two days ago. But she felt it had been so long. She spent the whole night with her little one here. She also missed him badly. She squatted down and got closer to him. Xia Dabai kissed her face sweetly. Chapter 85 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy She also missed him badly. She squatted down and got closer to him. Xia Dabai kissed her face sweetly. Xia Xingchen thanked the chauffeur and ushered him out. When she came back she saw Xia Dabai taking stuff out of his big backpack. Toothbrush, toothpaste, towel and also pajamas. Xia Xingchen found him a pair of slippers in the closet. It turned cold, so walking around barefoot was not a good idea. But her slippers were way too big for him. "These will help till I get new ones for you. Shall we go shopping after dinner? You need new slippers. Slow down." "OK." Seeing him taking out the stuff, she asked, "what''s this for?" "I''m just like you." "What do you mean? Like me?" "I''m running away from home! Just like you!"His arms were wrapped around her neck. "Dabao, I''m gonna stay together with you! If you are here, I must be here as well." Hearing this, Xia Xingchen felt sweet and satisfied. "You deserve my love." But¡­ He didn''t understand what''s going on here. He was the one who ran away from home, but she didn¡¯t. Because that house wasn''t her home at all. "Does your father know you are here?"Xia Xingchen asked. "No. I didn''t tell him yet. He called me ''annoying''."Xia Dabaiined, "his temper is getting worse and worse these days. I can''t even bear him." Xia Xingchen couldn''t agree more. She knew exactly his bad temper after the whole birthday thing. "He''s temper is gonna be worse if you run away from home."She sighed. "What can I do?"Xia Dabai frowned slightly, "I don''t wanna leave you." How could she bear being apart with him? She touched his tiny adorable face. "I''ll talk to your fatherter to find out whether you can stay here with me here." "OK!" Xia Dabai nodded quickly. But the next second he became upset again. "But I miss him if I live with you. I don''t want to leave him, either." "¡­ ¡­" "Dabao, what about moving back together with me? I will miss uncle butler and other friends there¡­ There are lots of people in the house. You won''t be lonely there." "You decide. You can''t stay with both of us." Xia Xingchen walked back to the kitchen. "You can live here for a couple of days and then move back for a while. Or you decide who you want to live with most. No matter what, I won''t move back." "Why not?" Xia Dabai followed her slowly in his ill-fitting slippers. "Are you still mad at Little Bai?" "Nope." "Then why?" "That''s our problem. You won''t understand, boy."Xia Xingchen cut the drumsticks expertly and poured coke. Xia Dabai asked for coke with his little hands waving. So she gave him a small ss of coke. He didn''t look up from his drink until he finished it. "Dabao, Little Bai likes you. Don''t be mad at him, OK?" "No, I''m not mad at him. I just can''t move back." "¡­ ¡­"Xia Dabai looked upset with his little head down. It was too hard for him to deal with both of them. What could he get in the end? A torn-apart family? The more he thought about, the more upset he got. Other children were not like him at all! They all have a happy family! "Sigh. What a life am I living!" He sighed, walking out of the kitchen. Suddenly Xia Xingchen felt hurt. Her little Dabai was always positive and sensible. He used to be satisfied with his single-parent family. But things were different now¡­ He started to expect more from the moment Bai Yeqing showed up. ¡­¡­ Fortunately, nothing could affect children''s mood permanently. He became happy and positive again after eating up the ribs and drumsticks. Xia Xingchen left the most delicious piece to him. It was dark outside when they finished dinner. "You can watch TV for a while. I''ll take you to shoppingter."She told him while cleaning up. "Fine. Can I get some chips there?" "OK." "And preserved plums." "Sure." She could buy him anything as long as he''s happy. She helped him change his shoes after cleaning up the kitchen. He pushed the door and went out. There was a man standing outside the door. She was shocked. It was no other but Bai Yeqing. He was wearing his suit with a cold look on his face as usual. Leng Fei didn''te together with him, or maybe he''s waiting downstairs. How could he be here? "Little Bai?"Xia Dabai was shocked as well. He asked the question she wanted to ask. "What are you doing here?" His gaze went from Xia Xingchen to his child. "Ie to take you back. The butler told me you were here." Xia Dabai frowned hearing this. "No, I won''t go. I told Dabao I would sleep here tonight!" Xia Dabai hugged her legs tightly. "No, you can''t. You still have sses tomorrow morning." He refused. He pouted and waved his hands to Xia Xingchen. Xia Xingchen picked him up. She said to Bai Yeqing, "I''ll send him back early tomorrow morning. Just leave him here. He even brought his pajamas." She begged. Bai Yeqing didn''t say anything with his mouth closed. She couldn''t know whether he agreed or not. "Little Bai, you go back first. Dabao and I are going for a date now. You''ll turn her down by taking me back now. I can go back tomorrow." He hoped his father wouldn''t do anything wrong. "Date? Where?"he asked Xia Xingchen. "We are going to the mall. I want to get him slippers and snacks." He thought carefully and said. "I''ll go with you." "I''m sorry?"Xia Xingchen thought she must have misheard. He still looked indifferent. "I''ll take him home after shopping." He walked directly to the elevator after saying that. He didn''t care whether they wanted this or not. Xia Xingchen was still shocked. She didn''t move until hearing him saying "why are you still standing over there?" Chapter 86 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy Xia Xingchen was still shocked. She didn''t move until hearing him saying "why are you still standing over there?" She walked into the elevator carrying her child. She couldn''t help asking him, "Are you kidding?" "Do I look like I''m kidding?" "You can''t go to the supermarket." Xia Xingchen reasoned with him. "There would be a mess if you go there. People know who you are." He was more than a superstar. Everybody knew him. Bai Yeqing didn''t answer. He put his hand on Xia Dabai''s head. "You got the annoying part from your mother." "¡­¡­"Xia Xingchen was speechless. "I am not annoying at all!" Xia Daibai got rid of the hand on his head. "You ruined my hair!" Xia Dabai thought he had to help dealing with their problem. Who the hell wants to be such a chatty box like a grandma? ¡­ ¡­ There weren''t so many cars outside. But Leng Fei was waiting there with his bullet-proof car. He walked over to them quickly. He was also shocked hearing they were going to the supermarket. "Your Excellency, that''s not a joke." "When did I ever tell a joke?" Bai Yeqing nced at Leng Fei. Leng Fei took out his phone. "I''ll make sure there''s no one there before you arrive." "That''s too much." Xia Xingchen looked at Bai Yeqing. "Don''te with us. It''s not convenient for everyone. Da Bai and I will get back as soon as possible." Did thisdy think he''s a problem? As the president of the country, it''s the first time he felt being despised and rejected. How many women had dreamed of going shopping with a man like him? But she just treated him as if he''s a big trouble. She tried to avoid him. How could he understand? "You go there for shopping. I go there to observe the living conditions of my people." His look was cold like ice. "That''s not your business." He walked directly to the car. The chauffeur opened the door respectfully for him. Leng Fei heard Bai Yeqing said indifferently while he was asking Xia Xingchen and Dabai to get in the car as well. "Shall we go now, Secretary Leng?" "Huh? Oh, alright. Sure. Your Excellency." Leng Fei got in the car quickly. The car drove away without hesitation. Xia Xingchen was speechless watching the car driving away. Xia Dabai frowned slightly."Dad is so mean. He just leaves us alone." "It''s good to take a walk after dinner." Xia Xingchen put him down. They walked to the supermarket hand in hand. The supermarket was ten minute¡¯s walk from home. Xia Dabai lowered his head down. "Dabao, could you please ask him to stay with us?" "¡­¡­"Xia Xingchen didn''t answer. He''s a good dreamer. How could it be possible for a man like him to live in such a tiny little room? The bedroom in the presidential residence was four times bigger than her whole apartment. And this was not including his changing room. "Little Bai certainly will take me away. Then you''ll live alone. I don''t want you to be bored and sad on your own." "It''s okay. I''ll talk to himter." Xia Xingchen touched his head. Her phone rang in her pocket. It was an unknown number. She answered the phone, hearing Leng Fei''s voice. "Miss.Xia, there are many supermarkets along the street. Which one are you going?" "¡­¡­"That made her want tough out. Did the president just say he''s going to observe the living condition of his people? Why did he start to care about where they were going? She didn''t question him. She told him they would go to the closest supermarket. Ten minutester, when Xia Xingchen showed up with Dabai, she saw him waiting there. He had already taken off his outfit and tie. He looked much more kind andzy in a white shirt. Those long legs made him more charming. Even if he was wearing a mask, he''s still the focus of the crowd. She could tell from his eyes that he had been waiting for too long. "Why are you so slow?" He asked as she walked over. "Our legs can''tpare to your wheels."she said. "Let''s go." Bai Yeqing said, holding Xia Dabai''s hand in his. The three of them walked into the supermarket together. Xia Xingchen was shocked seeing this picture. There were lots of parents taking their kids for shopping after dinner. She used to dream about it every time she went shopping with Xia Dabai. Dabai wanted both of his parents to be here, now that''s happening. People would think they were family. "Excuse me! Excuse me!" All of a sudden, high voice came along with the sound of wheels. Xia Xingchen came to her mind immediately. She looked up, finding rows of carts wereing towards her. Before she could even move, a strong arm dragged her and protected her from being hit by those carts. Nothing serious happened. She could feel the hands on her waist were hot like burning. She was close to his chest. His tall and strong body made her feel secure. Xia Xingchen could hear his heartbeat clearly. The shock she just suffered disappear quickly. "What are you doing? Don''t you know that''s dangerous?" He looked at her, frowning tightly. He wanted to me her. If he didn''t pull her back, she could have been hurt badly. Xia Xingchen''s hands were still on his shoulders. She blushed when he stared deeply into her eyes. His breath. The unique fragrance. She couldn''t help thinking about the bus andst night. "I was just¡­ Thinking about something¡­" Her sound even became unnatural. Bai Yeqing seemed to find there''s something lingering between them. His eyes became soft and gentle. "Did the carts hit you?" he asked gently in a low voice, with his hands on her waist. She shook her head. "No. I''m fine." Then she stepped back from his hug. His hands fell down from her waist. Her heartbeat got back into its normal pace. Xia Dabai looked up to them with a big smile on his face. "That was pretty cool, Little Bai. You are a hero!" Chapter 87 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy Xia Dabai looked up to them with a big smile on his face. "That was pretty cool, Little Bai. You are a hero!" Bai Yeqing frowned slightly as he saw Xia Xingchen was trying to avoid his eyes. He didn''t say anything, walking away with Xia Dabai. "Let¡¯s go." There was an unexinable warm feeling in her mind while she was watching them. Xia Dabai was a cute boy. He could catch many people''s attention. When he walked with Bai Yeqing, they could draw everyone''s attention. She somehow felt satisfied with it. Delightfully, she picked up a basket and followed them. Apparently Bai Yeqing had never been in a supermarket before. The noise and stink there made him sick. Leng Fei and other bodyguards were like facing a war, following them carefully. Those ck suits stand out in the crowd. Anybody could tell that they were not here for shopping. "How long is this going to take?" Bai Yeqing couldn''t help asking when she stopped to pick upundry detergent. "We have just arrived. I haven''t got my snacks yet." Xia Dabai answered. He couldn''t wait for those snacks so he had to keep reminding her in case she forgot. Xia Xingchen found him like a fish out of water. She said, "It will be long before we finish shopping. We''ve only just begun. If you don''t feel good, you''d better go now." His face clouded over when he heard this. It''s true that men didn''t like going shopping. How many men here were happy shopping with their wives? Though he didn''t like shopping here, he doesn¡¯t really want to go. He chose a bottle ofundry detergent and threw it into the basket while Xia Xingchen was pickingundry detergent carefully. "We''ll take it. Don''t hesitate." "No, we can''t." She put the bottle back and chose another brand. "You women are annoying." He couldn''t understand at all. There''s no difference between the two kinds. Is it worth wasting too much time here? "You don''t understand." Xia Xingchen exined to him. "This brand is gentle and suitable for children''s clothes. I''m afraid other brands could hurt Dabai''s skin." She looked quite gentle when talking about kids. She even let Dabai sniff the detergent and asked him whether he liked this fragrance. Bai Yeqing could see the soft smile on her face. The lights in the supermarket brightened this picture and she looked even more gentle. He felt his heartbeat was getting faster as he just crushes on her. He looked away at the moment. She put the bottle back into the basket and stood up. He grabbed the basket naturally. Xia Xingchen didn''t refuse. She couldn''t imagine him walking in a supermarket with a basket in hand. At this moment he was not like the man he used to be. He was neither having big talks on TV nor being indifferent in the presidential residence. He was more like a normal person. "What are you looking at?" Bai Yeqing asked her. Xia Xingchen didn''t know what to say. How could he detect she was looking at him? He was just staring at those shelves! "I''m looking at you. The president is shopping with us." "This is called observing the living conditions of my people." He said. "OK, sure. As you say so." She nodded her head. They went for slippers after that. Xia Dabai sat in a chair and Xia Xingchen helped him to try them on. "Walk around to see whether it''s suitable." Xia Xingchen told her son. "These are good." He was pretty happy walking around. He walked to Bai Yeqing and looked up at him. "Little Bai, do I look good in these slippers?" Now Bai Yeqing was observing the clothes area in the clothes area. There was a young couple picking clothes over there. The wife was choosing a simple T-shirt for her husband as a gift for him. He didn''t answer Dabai. Xia Xingchen was curious about what''s going on. Suddenly he turned around and asked her, "Where is my gift?" "What gift?" She was confused. "Birthday gift!" He was still upset talking about his birthday. Xia Xingchen didn''t know he''s still thinking about it. "I don''t have a gift for you." She answered directly. Bai Yeqing nced at her coldly and walked away. "I told you. He''s gonna be angry."Xia Dabai said. "You''ve got so many presents. I don''t think you need my gift anymore."she followed him. "And the stuff you got are so expensive. I can''t afford them." "Oh, really? Didn''t the Foreign Ministry pay you?" Who asked her to buy some expensive stuff? "¡­¡­"Xia Xingchen was speechless. "I was going to buy a gift for you. And I did find a shirt." "So where is it?"he asked. "¡­¡­."She became silent. "So where is it?" He asked her again. "I''ll buy you another one tomorrow." Xia Xingchen was pretty sure if she told him she gave it to Xu Yan, he would be furious. "I only want that one!" Bai Yeqing emphasized. He could find her bing nervous. He wouldn''t let it go. "Dabao, just go back and give it to him. Little Bai will like it!" Xia Dabai doesn¡¯t have an inkling that his words would implicate his mom at all. Her head ached. How could she tell him the truth? But his eyes forced her to say it. She thought it might be okay when she told him the truth. Xu Yan saved her life. He deserved more than a shirt. "I gave it to Xu Yan." She said. "¡­¡­"Bai Yeqing felt like his world shook a little bit. Xia Xingchen was frightened by him. Da Bai didn''t catch it. "Ah was that day also his birthday? Dabao, you gave it to him for his birthday. What about Little Bai''s birthday?" Xia Xinghen was about to give him a "happy birthday" as a gift. But Bai Yeqing walked away without a word. He looked much colder than before. Chapter 88 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy Xia Xinghen was about to tell him a "happy birthday" as a gift. But Bai Yeqing walked away without a word. He looked much colder than before. How could he be mad again? Why did he mind Xu Yan so much? Was that because she stood him up and missed his birthday? Xia Xingchen sighed speechlessly. They walked along together but he¡¯s still mad. He was still aloof when Xia Xingchen sometimes tried to talk to him. She stopped talking to him after being turned down for a couple of times. Then, she went ahead with the kid, leaving him behind with a cold face. The hardest for Xia Xingchen was to understand this man. He''s obviously mad at her and tired of the crowds here. But why on earth did he keep following her? Xia Xingchen arrived in the seafood area. Xia Dabai said he wanted crabs. So she bought some and nned to cook them tonight. "Here you go." The server handed her the packed crabs. "Thank you." Xia Xingchen held the paper bag in her hand. "Aw!" She could feel the pain on her finger. Her bleeding finger was hurt by the crab in the bag. "What''s wrong, Dabao?" Xia Dabai asked her worriedly. Suddenly, Bai Yeqing rushed to her before she could even answer. He grabbed her hand and looked at the bleeding finger. "Why are you still so careless?" His scolding tone and the long face didn''t make her mad at all. She felt he warmed her up inside. "Nothing serious. Don''t worry." She shook her head, as she said softly. So Bai Yeqing stopped asking her and she took her hand back. After all, he was not in a good mood tonight. Him being upset had affected Dabai''s mood directly. Because¡­ When Dabai touched the chocte on the shelf, he heard a cold voice, "No chocte. Don''t you want your teeth healthy?" So Dabai reached the second choice. The chips. "No fried snacks. Also bad for your health." Sad as he was, he reached for the fast food. "No junk food!" He then grabbed a bottle of coke. "No sodas!" Xia Dabai couldn''t help crying. He hugged Xia Xingchen''s leg, crying with his eyes shining, "Dabao! Little Bai is bullying me!" Xia Xingchen couldn''t bear his bright and shining eyes. Every time she saw this face, she wanted to offer him anything he wanted. "¡­¡­" Xia Xingchen couldn''t help him this time. Xia Dabai was totally upset. "I won''t go shopping with Little Bai anymore!" What an annoying dad! He went to the cashier area mumbling. Xia Xingchen tried not tough out loudly seeing this. This should have been a nice family shopping trip. But both of them went home upset. Fortunately, this wouldn''t happen every day, or she would have a bad headache. A golden card had been given to the cashier before Xia Xingchen reached her purse. The card was a symbol of high status. People who have this card were all rich and powerful. So of course, the cashier was shocked seeing this card. She kept looking at Bai Yeqing. His eyes were cold enough to kill people¡¯s curiosity. The cashier looked away quickly and started to get on her own business. Xia Xingchen was also looking at the card curiously. So no one knew Xia Dabai put a jar of candy into the cart secretly. ¡­¡­. Xia Dabai was tired after this family trip. Bai Yeqing held him in his arm and carried the huge bag with another hand, walking out of the supermarket. Leng Fei had already waited outside when the three came out. He opened the door respectfully for them. And someone else came over, taking over the huge shopping bag. Xia Xinchen also got in the car. Leng Fei would send her back. Though Xia Dabai was sleepy, he dares not to sleep in the car. He thought once he slept, dad must take him home. Finally, they arrived. Xia Dabai followed Xia Xingchen getting out of the car. "Dad, I''ll stay here tonight! Don''t take me home!" Xia Xingchen held his little hand. She wouldn''t let him go. They thought he certainly would refuse. But he got out of the car together with them. He told Leng Fei to wait downstairs. Then he grabbed the bag, heading to the elevator. Xia Xingchen was confused looking at him. What''s happening here? ¡­¡­ Apparently Bai Yeqing didn''t want to leave after dropping off the stuff. He stood in front of the door for a while, seeing Xia Xingchen didn''t realize what''s happening, said, "Slippers." "Well, there''s no slippers for men. Just go barefoot." No slippers for men meant there''s no man ever came here like he did. Including Xu Yan. This news brightened him a little and he walked in barefoot. The tiny room was perfect for Xia Xingchen to live alone but the room suddenly turned smaller as Bai Yeqing walked in. "Just sit for a moment. Dabai needs to go to bed. I''ll help him wash his face." "OK." Bai Yeqing nodded and sat down on the sofa. He looked so elegant sitting there with his legs crossed. Xia Xingchen forced herself not to stare at him. She took Xia Dabai to the bathroom. "Dabao, will Little Bai sleep here tonight?" Xia Dabai asked as the door closed. "Of course not." Xia Xingchen answered quickly. "Just ask him to stay. I want the three of us to sleep together. We''ve slept together before though." "No. Not now, not today." "What''s the difference?" Of course, something had changed. Unexpected things likest night never happened before. Xia Xingchen couldn''t think about that. She washed his hands carefully. Chapter 89 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy
Xia Xingchen couldn''t think about that. It took her ten minutes to help him wash his hands carefully. She carried him out of the bathroom. But now Xia Xingchen couldn''t find Bai Yeqing in the living room. She looked around and noticed his shoes were gone. "Did Little Bai leave?" "Well, I suppose." Xia Xingchen replied softly. Carrying the kid into his bedroom, she covered him gently with a nket. She then subconsciously went to the door, opened it and looked outside. There''s no one in the corridor. She couldn''t help looking outside the window. His car was not there anymore. It seemed that he''s really gone. Xia Xingchen felt upset. Somehow she found herself ridiculous. She tried not to think about it. Closing the door, she sat down on the sofa to clear up the stuff they just bought in the supermarket. Suddenly she noticed the stuff on the table. There were two things left on it. Band-aids and scar gel. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Xia Xingchen was deeply touched. Looking at the injured finger and her ankle, she felt warm inside. Apparently he bought those band-aids in the supermarket but she had no idea when he did it. She put a band-aid over the cut and smeared her ankle with the gel. Sheid down on her bed after washing. Xia Dabai was asleep. Feeling she came, he moved his head into her arms. Xia Xingchen hugged him tightly and turned off the light. "Dabao, did Little Bai really leave?" "Yes." "Are you sure you won''t go back?" He whispered in a low voice. She could hardly hear him. "Yes." She answered softly. "What if Little Bai feels lonely on his own?" "Just sleep. Don''t worry. You still have ss tomorrow." Xia Xingchen tapped him slightly. He fell asleep soon. But she couldn''t. ¡­¡­ The next day¡­ Xia Xingchen cooked him a big meal. They couldn''t eat them up. Xia Dabai sighed. "I wish Little Bai is here. He can help us finish this." Xia Xingchen didn''t think so. How could the president get used to what they eat for breakfast? Xia Xingchen took him to wash his hands. But the faucet broke and water sshed over both of them. Dabai sighed again. "If Little Bai is here, he could fix it." Xia Xingchen knew what Dabai was nning by talking about Little Bai all the time. She brought a towel and pretended to be angry. "If you say that name once more, you go to live with him and nevere back." Xia Dabai stopped. "You two are no good parents." ¡­¡­ On the other side. Yu Zenan had juste back to the country and didn''t want to get out of the bed. But his brother Yu Zeyao was mad. He just called him and wanted to see him in ten minutes. How dare he sleep? He woke up immediately and changed his clothes, drove there in his sports car. Yu Zeyao was smoking in front of the window when Yu Zenan walked into the office. Though Yu Zenan lost the election, he''s still one of the most powerful person in this country. And he''s always the man who canpete with Bai Yeqing. "Brother, what''s going on? Why do you wake me up?" Yu Zenan sat on the sofa and twisted himself, trying to find a good position to continue his sleep. Yu Zeyao turned around and saw hiszy brother. "Sit up!" Yu Zenan did so. "Have you met Xia Xingchen recently?" Yu Zeyao asked. Hearing this name, he felt kind of rxed. "No, I spent half a month in the Philippines. How could I meet her?" Yu Zenan shook his head. Yu Zeyao pointed at him directly. "You told me you can get her. You promised. How''s it going?" "Well, I''m working on it. What are you worrying about? You have never been in a rtionship, so you don''t know how to woo a woman. You have to slow down. No rush. Or you will lose her." What he said did hurt Yu Zeyao. He loved a girl terribly that he himself thought there must be something wrong with him. No matter what he did, she wouldn''t change her mind. How could he condescend for a woman? He had already lost his face. "Slow down!" With a groan he eximed. "The result of slowing down is losing her! She''s taken?" "By whom?" Yu Zenan thought for a while. "Her first love? That guy? I thought that guy was engaged." Yu Zeyao took a paper bag out of his drawer. "Look!" "If it was that guy, you don''t have to worry. He''s not a strong¡­enemy." Thest word squeezed from his mouth. Looking at the photo, he thought his eyes deceived him. He waspletely shocked. "Is this photo produced by Photoshop?" This was apparently a candid picture. The ce was on a bus. And he didn''t want to talk about what they were doing. The man with Xia Xingchen was not the first love guy at all. It was¡­ Bai Yeqing! All Yu Zenan could believe was that this picture was photoshopped. But if this was really photoshopped, his brother wouldn''t show it to him. "I never thought they could¡­be together." Yu Zenan recovered from the huge shock. He couldn''t believe Bai Yeqing was the guy and the picture was so¡­attractive. He had left here for only half a month. How could theye to this? They didn''t even know each other when they encountered on the court. Chapter 90 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy They didn''t even know each other when they encountered on the court. "Brother. Did Bai Yeqing want to be with her because of her identity?" Yu Zenan thought that might be the reason. "So he doesn''t love Xia Xingchen at all. He just wants to make use of her?" Yu Zeyao sighed, shaking his head. "I thought so at first. But after consideration, if he did know who Xia Xingchen was, he would refuse when the vice-president tried to bring Song Weiyi and him together on his birthday. Besides, he would have contacted Lady Lanting. But apparently, she didn''t know about it." Hearing this, Yu Zenan felt upset. He would rather believe Bai Yeqing wanted her because he wanted to make use of her. "So what''s the n?" Yu Zenan asked. Yu Zeyao thought for a while. He just said. "Don''t let Xia Xingchen go. And I can handle other things." Looking at his brother, Yu Zenan somehow felt anxious. He put the photos into the paper bag and wanted to take them away but was stopped at the door. Yu Zeyao gave the photo to the chief secretary. "Send these photos." ¡­¡­. Xia Xingchen brought Chi Weiyang to the luxury store after work. Xia Xingchen knew he wouldn''t let it go until she got him a birthday present. They went to the store where she bought the shirt. They walked around, picking a shirt. Xia Xingchen wouldn''t buy the same one because he hated Xu Yan so much. She couldn''t find a suitable one for him so she went to the tie area. "Excuse me, Miss. Are you picking a gift for your boyfriend?"The server here asked, smiling. "Tie is the best choice for a boyfriend. Giving him a tie means binding him to you forever." Binding him to her? Xia Xingchen was shocked but soon she smiled to herself. They were not a couple, why did she need to bind him to her forever? Though she thought so, she still pointed at a dark one. "This one looks nice." The server took it out for her. The 4-digit price meant she would spend a month''s wages on it. But she thought he would like this one. So she asked the server to pack it up. When she''s checking out, Chi Weiyang asked. "You do want to bind him to you?" "Oh, you really believe that? If a tie can help bind a man''s heart, there would be fewer people want to break up." Chi Weiyangughed. "You ruined theirmercial. But are you sure you won''t go back?" Xia Xingchen shook her head. Chi Weiyang asked again. "Didn''t he ask you to move back?" Xia Xingchen shook her head again. Chi Weiyang sighed. "I heard from Fu Yichen that Bai Yeqing will engage with Song Weiyi soon." Xia Xingchen somehow felt nervous. She looked down, avoiding her eyes. "When did you get to know Doctor Fu so well?" She looked up and asked Chi Weiyang. Chi Weiang turned back, pretending to look at those clothes. "I knew him ten years ago." "¡­¡­" That answer did surprise Xia Xingchen. She''s curious but she didn''t ask, seeing the sad look on Chi Weiyang''s face. If she wanted to talk about it, she would say. They went back to the subway after shopping. Xia Xingchen kept thinking about how to give it to him. Maybe she could ask Xia Dabai to bring it to him. ¡­¡­.. She went home in 20 minutes. At the moment she got out of the elevator, she found a man standing in front of her door. The slender man, leaning on the door and ying his phone. "What are you doing here?" She noticed him. That''s Yu Zenan. "Why are you here?" "I''ve been waiting for you. Why do youe back sote? Didn''t you finish your work early?" "I went shopping. Why didn''t you call me?" Xia Xingchen asked. "I thought you woulde home right after work." Xia Xingchen took out her keys and opened the door. Suddenly she realized something. "Hold on. How could you know I live here?" "What do you think?" Xia Zenan didn''t want to hide anything. "It didn''t take me so long to know your address." He took off his shoes, walking barefoot naturally as if he had been here for thousands of times. "What''s wrong with you? Why do you want my address? If you do want to know you can just call me." Xia Xingchen couldn''t be mad at this naughty boy. But he looked upset today. He looked at the bag. "What did you buy?" "A tie." Yu Zenan sat on the sofa, looking at her. "For Bai Yeqing?" She was shocked. "What else did you find out about me?" She''s not hiding anything about her private life. But Bai Yeqing was not like her. Apparently, Yu Zenan found out this by spying on Bai Yeqing. She didn''t want to be involved in the political rtionships between them but she didn''t want Bai Yeqing to be dangerous. He used to tell her to stay away from Yu Zenan. "Don''t worry. I didn''t want to know about you two." Yu Zenan looked at her and stepped to her. "Xingchen, am I your friend?" "Of course." She nodded. She had a few male friends. But Yu Zenan was interesting and she feltfortable talking to him. Of course, they were friends. "As your friend, I need to tell you. Don''t be silly any more." She was shocked. Yu Zenan asked. "Do you know who Bai Yeqing is?" Xia Xingchen didn''t answer. He continued. "Do you know how he bes the president at this age? What does it cost for him to be the president? You don''t even know how many people died because of him. Xingchen, people like him and my brother are different from the rich and dignitaries. People like your father are just puppets for him. They can control everything easily. But it''s tough to stay in a high position. Whatever it takes, they must climb higher. Or they themselves could die secretly! Or even you will be involved!" Chapter 91 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy
Xia Xingchen was confused. "What are you trying to say?" "Do you know? My brother loved a girl. He can do anything for her but marry her. His marriage is used to ascertain his position. Even my own marriage is for his political purpose. What do you think of Bai Yeqing''s marriage? He has no choice. Even if he himself doesn''t want to marry someone, he has to do it. Xingchen, how can you be so silly to y this game with him? You will certainly get hurt." He said thest few sentences with emphasis and then took out a piece of the red invitation card. Xia Xingchen could not tolerate the bright red color. She could feel the shortness of breath. Yu Zenan told her in a low voice. "This is Bai Yeqing''s engagement invitation card. Song Guoyao sent this to my brother to check. It''s only a draft, not the final version. But you know, Song Guoyao is a cautious person. If he could hire someone to design it and send it to my brother, you must know what''s gonna happen. Xingchen, there''s something we can''t change." Xia Xingchen didn''t know when Yu Zenan left. She sat on the sofa for a while, confused. She did not realize that the tie dropped at her feet. She finally got the bravery of opening the card. Bai Yeqing. Song Weiyi. The six characters somehow made her cry. It''s not that bad. The tie she just got for him can also be the engagement gift. The whole country must look forward to their engagement party. She might be the interpreter there. Xia Xingchen closed the card. She suddenly noticed the band-aid and pulled it off. The short cut on her finger was almost recovered. But she could clearly feel the pain. She didn''t feel it on the day she got injured but now the pain was pretty clear. It caused pain in her heart. That kind of pain nearly killed her. She couldn''t breathe. She didn''t realize there''s someone knocking at the door until he knocked for a while. The man outside the door did surprise her. That''s Xia Dabai''s chauffeur. Xia Xingchen thought Dabai is here. But she couldn''t find him in the corridor. "Miss. Xia,e back with me." "What''s wrong?" "Little master refused to eat today. He said he wouldn''t eat unless he saw you." Xia Xingchen felt sad. How could he starve himself? She knew he was stubborn. When Bai Yeqing took him away from her, he used to refuse to eat. And that worked. He knew if he did it again, he could see her. She knew his little tricks but she couldn''t refuse. "If he wanted to see me, why not just bringing him here?" "We were going to bring him here. But the president just proimed that no one could take little master out of the house. And little master will be grounded from tomorrow. He couldn''t even go to school. Teachers wille to the house to teach him. I have no idea what to do." Hearing this, Xia Xingchen got mad. She didn''t understand Bai Yeqing at all. Dabai was her own son after all. Did he really need to forbid her son toe here? "Okay, I''ll go with you." Xia Xingchen went with the chauffeur. Before she left the apartment, she took the tie with her. It''s okay to give him the engagement gift earlier. ¡­ ¡­ She never thought she woulde back one day. Last time she left she didn''t bring too much stuff with her. She knew one day she might need to take all her things away, or Song Weiyi would be angry when she moved in. But she never knew the day was today. The chauffeur drove silently along the way. The colorful lights outside only brought her darkness and sadness. She closed her eyes, trying to hold her tears back. After a long way, the car finally arrived at the manor. The chauffeur opened the door for her respectfully. The butler and housemaids were so happy to see her back. "Miss. Xia, we missed you so much. Not to mention the president, we were even notfortable without you." Said the butler. Xia Xingchen didn''t say a word. She didn''t think Bai Yeqing was here. The butler continued. "Both the president and little master want you back. Please don''t leave again." Xia Xingchen thought the butler had no idea that she''s thrown out of the house by the president. Though he was angry and he didn''t mean it, what he said still hurt her. She couldn''t ask to move back. As for now¡­ She won''t have the chance to move back. "Is the little master upstairs?" Xia Xingchen asked. "Yes." The butler nodded his head. "Since the president said he couldn''t leave the house, he became depressed and refused to eat anything. He did even drink water." Xia Xingchen said. How could he be so stubborn? It''s 8 o''clock now, she felt starved without dinner. How would he feel for not eating anything today? She put the tie on the table and went straight to Dabai''s room. She could hear a housemaid from a long distance. "Little master, at least eat something." "I don''t want to eat." "Don''t you like this dessert most? Smell it. It''s good. You are gonna love it." "No! I won''t surrender!" "Fruits?" "No! I don''t wanna eat anything!" Xia Dabai lost his temper and asked the housemaid out. The housemaid turned around and found Xia Xingchen. "Thank god you are here, Miss.Xia." Xia Xingchen smiled. "Give me the food. I''ll handle it." The housemaid handed the tray to her. She walked into his room. Dabai thought it was the housemaid again. "Just go! I won''t eat anything! I only want to eat the drumsticks Dabao cooked for me!" Looking at his back, Xia Xingchen could feel the tears in her eyes. Chapter 92 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy
Looking at his back, Xia Xingchen could feel the tears in her eyes. He would feel awkward when Song Weiyi moved in. She didn''t want her child to be bullied. "Why are you still there! I told you to go!" Xia Dabai didn''t hear anything so he turned around and found someone still standing there. "Get up if you want to eat the drumsticks. You can''t eat them in your dreams." Xia Xingchen said. Xia Dabai thought that was his imagination. He sat up immediately and found his mother standing there. He couldn''t help crying. "Dabao!" The sad look on his face did hurt her. Xia Xingchen lifted him up. "Are you hungry?" Xia Xingchen asked him. "Yes, I''m starving." He nodded his head. "Don''t do this anymore. You need food to grow up." "Dad is so annoying." He grumbled. Xia Xingchen walked downstairs carrying him. The butler had already set up the table for dinner. Xia Dabai wanted to eat the drumsticks she cooked. She certainly would like to cook for him. When she walked into the kitchen she realized it was way too bigpared to her own kitchen. She put on the apron and started to cook. Xia Dabai followed her all the time, carrying his bowl. Xia Xingchen wanted him out because of the cooking fume. But he refused. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Bai Yeqing came back home while she''s busy cooking in the kitchen. He was talking to Leng Fei. "Your Excellency, what about Miss.Song¡­" Suddenly Bai Yeqing noticed the gift bag on the table. Then he didn''t pay attention to what Leng Fei was trying to say. He walked over and saw the tie. He was surprised. Subconsciously he looked around. The butler knew what he''s looking for and pointed to the kitchen. Bai Yeqing walked to the kitchen. "We''ll talk about it tomorrow. Let others go now." "Yes, Your Excellency." Leng Fei nodded. Looking at him until he disappeared in his sight, Leng Fei worried that the president must have fallen in love with her. But love was totally different from marriage. Maybe the president would lose his mind if things kept going in this way. "Dabao, look! I''ve already finished the rice!" Bai Yeqing heard this before he walked into the kitchen. "Nice. Wait outside. I''lle out soon with the drumsticks." Her voice sounded soft but somehow with a hint of sadness. "No. I''ll just wait here. Little Bai is so bad. I will protect you if he wanted to throw you out or bully you." "¡­¡­" Bai Yeqing thought the kid was pretty good at bullying him. He walked in with a cold look. Xia Dabai was mad at him and he finally found the chance toin. But at this moment, his cor was pulled backward by someone. "Who''s that! Who!" He waved his arms with his bowl and spoon in his hands, struggling in the air. He turned his head and saw Bai Yeqing''s face. Xia Xingchen turned back as she heard the noise. Her guard''s up when she saw him. The kid was thrown out of the kitchen and then walked into the kitchen alone. The housemaids were gone, too. Now there''s only two of them here. Xia Xingchen tried to focus on the drumsticks and ignored him. But he was born talented in disturbing her without doing anything but standing there. "When did youe back?" Bai Yeqing asked. "Just now." Xia Xingchen answered. "The chauffeur said Dabai refused to eat so I came to see him. I''ll leave when he finishes dinner and goes to sleep." Bai Yeqing didn''t like thest sentence she added. He leaned on the fridge with his hands in pockets. "What if he still refuses to eat tomorrow?" "Then don''t ground him. Send him to me. I can handle it." "No." Bai Yeqing refused. "It can''t be changed. He''s not going out of the house. If I take back what I said, there''s no authority." Was this what they said, "the king''s words are to be taken seriously"? Xia Xingchen turned around after finished cooking. "He didn''t do anything wrong. Why did you ground him? He''s just a kid. Of course, he misses me because I''m his mom. I gave birth to him and raised him up. Why did you take us apart? It''s cruel for both him and me!" Her emotion was getting out of control and her eyes were getting moist. Bai Yeqing didn''t think she would be like this. She tried to avoid his eyes and wanted to get out of here after realizing she''s losing her temper. But suddenly Bai Yeqing pulled her into his arms. Xia Xingchen felt aggrieved. She couldn''t help thinking about the invitation card. The hug hit the softest part of her heart. She didn''t want to hold the tears back anymore. Bai Yeqing didn''t like to see her crying because he had no idea what to do. "Don''t cry." "Why do you always bully Dabai and I? Do we look so nice to you?" She asked, crying. Bai Yeqing lifted her chin. "Nice? If you want to run away from home and leave us, you can do it. But I won''t allow him to follow you." Xia Xingchen was speechless. "It was you who told me to get out of here? How could it be like this? I ran away from home and left you?" He''s pretty good at passing the buck. Bai Yeqing put one hand on her waist and the other one against the fridge. She was stuck between him and the fridge. He looked at her and his eyes were just like a vortex which could easily suck her in. He got closer and closer. His lips were so close to hers. "You left me because I said so? How could you be so obedient?" Chapter 93 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy He got closer and closer. His lips were so close to hers. "You left me because I said so. How could you be so obedient?" Looking into his eyes in such a short distance, Xia Xingchen could feel her heart jumping. The alluring eyes and the hot breath were dangerous. She certainly knew the price she''s going to pay if she stepped closer to him. "This is your house. All the people here are under your control. You are the president and if you want me to go, there''s no reason for me to stay¡­" Maybe it''s the distance that made her could barely speak. Her body leaned on the fridge in an unnatural way. But he couldn''t just let her go. He stepped closer to her, asking in the gentlest and softest way. "What if I ask you to stay¡­" If she lost her mind, if Yu Zenan didn''t tell her the truth, or if she didn''t see the red invitation, she would say yes. But there''s no "if". Deep breath always helped her to calm down. The uncertainty in her eyes was gone. She looked up. "Can I take Dabai home?" Everything went still in the room until the words came out. Bai Yeqing couldn''t believe his ears. "Say it again!" "He''s my son and I have the right to take him home." "No. And there''s no need to discuss this again." Every single word was freezing. He took his hands away from her waist. He looked more indifferent, more like him than a few minutes ago. He thought he had already made it pretty clear. He asked her toe back. But she ignored the whole thing and even asked to take Dabai away. "Bai Yeqing!" She pulled him back as he wanted to leave. Coldly he stared at her as if the whole dark ocean was contained in his eyes. "At least let him live with me till he''s 18, alright?" The way she looked at him was torture. "I had never begged you this way. But this time, please." She looked directly into his eyes, ignoring the coldness in his eyes. "I was only 18 when I got pregnant. I couldn''t get over the rumors and all the hard things without him. But you are not like me. The whole country and even the whole world is yours. And ¡­ and you''ll get married soon you can have another baby with your wife¡­" Bai Yeqing didn''t say anything. He just listened. Her voice was shaking. "But Dabai means a lot to me. He''s my world. My life is nothing without him. So I beg you. Don''t take him away until he''s 18. You can see him whenever you want. I promise. Or sometimes he could live here with you. Or he could celebrate every birthday with you." Chapter 94 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy His eyes were like cold ice when she finished talking. What was this supposed to mean? Bai Yeqing understood. She wanted the kid. And at the same time, she wanted to leave him. They could both be in Dabai¡¯s future but she just asked him out of her future. He won¡¯t allow this. ¡°Beg me?¡± He looked at her mockingly. ¡°How could you beg me?¡± She had nothing but the kid. ¡°What do you want from me? I can give you anything to get him back.¡± She was tough. ¡°Anything? Xia Xingchen, what if I want you to beg me in the bedroom?¡± He emphasized every single word to humiliate her. Xia Xingchen never thought he could say things like this. She was shocked. Bai Yeqing was angry and her reaction made him angrier. He stepped further and trapped her in the corner. ¡°I can give you time to think about it. But you must give me your answer tonight. You can¡¯t take him away anymore after tonight.¡± ¡°Little Bai, why are you still there?¡± Xia Dabai was yelling outside. Suddenly something struck her and sobered her up. She stepped backward and kept thinking of what he just said. ¡°Beg me in the bedroom¡­¡± Bai Yeqing didn¡¯t say anything. He turned around and walked towards the door. Hearing nothing inside made Xia Dabai anxious. ¡°Little Bai, are you bullying Dabao? Don¡¯t bully her! I¡¯m gonna¡­¡± Suddenly the door opened and the words stuck into his throat. He looked up only to see his father¡¯s cold look. The dark eyes scared him a lot. Little Bai didn¡¯t look like in a good mood. Bai Yeqing ignored him and walked away. Xia Dabai ran into the kitchen immediately. ¡°Dabao, are you alright? Did he bully you? He looked angry.¡± Xia Xingchen didn¡¯t want her child to worry about her. She turned back and tried to calm down. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Nobody can bully me.¡± ¡°Really?¡± ¡°Yep!¡± Xia Dabai looked at her for a long time. Seeing her smile, he smiled, too. He stood on tiptoe, trying to look into the pot. ¡°Where are my drumsticks?¡± Xia Xingchen now remembered the food. Fortunately, they were not cold. ¡°Wait in the dining room. I¡¯lle soon.¡± ¡°Okay. Dabao, I¡¯ll wait for you!¡± Dabai blew a kiss to her and ran out of the kitchen. Xia Xingchen walked out with the drumsticks. She had already set the table. But she found there¡¯s a man sitting in the prominent seat of the table. The luxury crystalmp lightened his cold face clearer. Chapter 95 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy The luxury crystalmp lightened his cold face clearer. He was having his dinner. He still behaved like a gentleman at the table though he''s furious. He didn''t even give her a nce hearing as she walked into the dining room as if she''s not there. Everyone in the dining room including the kid could feel that something was wrong between them. Xia Dabai was upset. Why did dad have the cold look on his face now that Dabao was home? He''s gonna scare her. What a stupid dad. He didn''t even know being nice in front ofdies! Heined secretly and waved at Xia Xingchen. Xia Xingchen walked over and a maid pulled the chair for her. She only cooked two drumsticks for her child. "Dabao, one for you, one for me." Xia Dabai said carefully in a low voice like he''s stealing something. He didn''t want to make someone angry. Xia Dabai looked at the man sitting in the prominent seat and felt rxed finding he didn''t notice what''s happening. "No. You eat both." Xia Xingchen also said softly, giving both of the drumsticks to him. She was hungry but now she had no interest in eating. She was confused. What he just said upied her mind. "Beg him in the bedroom." Was he serious? She bit on her chopsticks and nced at Bai Yeqing. She''s not stupid and due to the former experience, she thought he might really be interested in her body. Frankly speaking, he''s the president. He''s the youngest, most popr and also the most handsome president.. If he wanted to sleep with girls there must be tons begging him to sleep with them. The media also did research and the results turned out that he''s the man most women wanted to sleep with. She was a virgin before sleeping with him. And just doing it again could bring her child back. Thinking this way made her feel better. It was a good deal. Xia Xingchen looked at her child. Xia Dabai was eating the drumsticks. He seemed to feel her staring and he looked up, smiling at her. "Dabao! You are a brilliant cook! Could you always cook them for me?" The words hit her. She nodded her head as if she had already made up her mind. "Sure. Whatever you want, I can cook for you forever." Xia Dabai put his chopsticks down and said seriously. "Pinky swear. You just said you''ll cook for me forever, don''t leave me alone half-way!" Xia Xingchen''s eyes became moist. "I promise. Whatever happens, whatever it takes, I won''t leave you alone." These words were not said in a low voice. Bai Yeqing looked at her. Xia Xingchen could feel his burning stare but she dared not to look back at him. Bai Yeqing didn''t say anything during dinner. He could always hide pretty well so Xia Xingchen had no idea what he''s thinking. He finished his meal faster than them and walked out of the dining room. The whole room went back to life as he stepped out. Xia Dabai felt rxed, watching him going upstairs. "Dabao, did you make him angry?" "I don''t know." Xia Xingchen sighed. Bai Yeqing stayed in his reading room the whole night. Xia Xingchen noticed the tie had gone. Asking the maids she knew he took it away. Xia Dabai was following her all night. He wanted her to help him wash. And after that, he begged her to read stories. He wouldn''t let her go. She couldn''t say no to him and he nearly fell asleep after she read stories to him. She put the quilt over him and walked out. Stood in the corridor, not knowing where to go. Subconsciously she looked at his bedroom. Somehow she felt her heart pounding fast. After consideration, she went to her own room and took a shower. Everything in her room was still in its own ce. She opened the closet and found her pajamas. Her pajamas were all conservative ones. She spent a while finding suitable underwear and pajamas. She''s still nervous thinking about what''s gonna happen next. She never thought Bai Yeqing and her could reach to this sort of rtionship. Maybe because of anxiety or not knowing how to face it, the shower took her nearly an hour. She finally got out till her snow-white skin turned reddish. It was almost midnight when she finished drying her hair. Maybe Bai Yeqing had already slept. She put down the hairdryer and walked out. "Miss.Xia." She met a maid in the corridor. She nodded at her and asked. "Is the president sleeping?" "Not yet." She answered. "He''s in the reading room after a bath. He''s busy with something." Xia Xingchen nodded at her and said. "Could you hand me a bottle of wine? Not the strong one." She closed the door. Alcohol might help a lot. Soon the maid handed her the wine. She only drank a little because she didn''t want to be drunk. She had everything prepared, she walked directly to the reading room. He didn''t answer her until she knocked three times. Then she walked in. The reading room was big. The yellow light couldn''t brighten the whole room. And that made her rx a bit. Bai Yeqing leaned on the bookshelf in his robe. He was reading a foreign book. She dared not to look so closely to find out what the book is about. He treated her like she''s not there. He didn''t even pick his head up from the book. Xia Xingchen felt terrible. She stood over there like she''s gonna face a trial. Every single second is torture. Why couldn''t he juste straight? Chapter 96 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy The alcohol did help a lot. She became brave. "Did your words still count?" She asked him after a deep breath. Walking directly to him made her seem calm. After her bath, an alluring fragrance emitted from her body. Bai Yeqing raised his head from the book. His eyes were still cold and dark without emotion. You could tell nothing from that kind of look. Her body was fresh and clean after shower. Her face looked more attractive without makeup. He didn''t say anything but he stared at her as if he could tear her pajamas apart. Xia Xingchen blushed because she felt ufortable when he looked at her this way. The courage she got from the wine was fading out. She has not done anything like this before! This man was annoying enough! It was he who came up with this idea. But now he''s acting like it''s none of his business¡­. She dared not to say out loud herints. She forced herself to say something. "Well, I decided. I''ll do what you said only if you can keep your words¡­" She looked away, trying not to look into his eyes. The blush on her face was getting deeper. And then¡­ The reading room was quiet. Dangerously quiet. He closed his book in a very gentle way but the little sound was clear enough to keep her nervous. She''s dying to look up and find the look on his face. At least she needs to figure out his attitude. Did this mean he didn''t want to do it? Or he wanted to take back his words? "Did you drink?" Now he started to ask something weird. "Yes." She nodded her head. "How much did you drink?" What was he trying to say? She tried hard to find out. "Just a little." "Is it such a big problem for you to sleep with me?" Suddenly he reached out his arm and put his hand on her waist. The other hand lifted her chin up. His eyes were dark and deep with dangerous glitter inside. "Do you need alcohol to numb yourself before sleeping with me?" He made her more nervous. She stepped backward and leaned on the bookshelf. nced at him but soon looked away. "I haven''t done this before. So I thought alcohol might help." How could she not be nervous? She had never done this before! "Now that you had drunk, show me how brave you are." Her unwillingness somehow made him angry. He tried to control his temper, saying. "Look at me!" Her cold fingers grabbed the bookshelf. Deeply breathing, she looked up to him with her moist eyes. Maybe because she''s nervous, she looked exactly like a little bunny. Bai Yeqing would certainly let her go at other time. But not now, not tonight. Now the look only drove him furious. Obviously she''s frightened and anyone could tell that she didn''t want to do it. But she''s still here. But she still came to him. What she wanted was not only taking the kid away, but also drawing a clear distinction between them. He became more furious thinking this way. He almost lost his temper. "Xia Xingchen! Satisfy me!" She was shocked. She just stood there, not knowing what to do. "Didn''t you drink? Aren''t you brave now? Now that youe to me, satisfy me!" Xia Xingchen wanted to cry. Nervous and shy as she was, she said. "I''m brave but, I just have know idea what to do." How could she learn how to please a man? She had only slept with him. Where else could she learn how to please a man? "So I will teach you till you get it!" Suddenly Bai Yeqing started to kiss her most eagerly. The sudden kiss frightened her. Subconsciously she tried to escape. She pushed him like fighting with a monster. She tried to make sure if he still wanted to keep his words. "Will you do as you promised? If I stay with you tonight, will you let Dabai go with me and never try to take him away?" The kid! All she cared about was the kid! Kept talking about taking him away? Where could she go? The veins in his forehead were very heavy. His sullen look became more frightening. "What If I say no? Now you are here, did you think you could just walk out without?" Xia Xingchen frowned. "What do you mean?" Did he wanted to back out?! "Simple question. What I mean is that no matter what happens, I''m. gonna sleep with you tonight." His tongue was lingering behind her ears with the dirty talk. Xia Xingchen felt her face and ears were going to burn. Before she could even find out what''s happening, something tied up her wrists. He lifted her hands up and held her hands above her head. She saw it was a tie. The tie she gave him as a gift. "Bai Yeqing, what are you doing?" She was more frightened. He said with a grin. "You gave me such a nice present. Of course I will use it." "¡­¡­" Xia Xingchen was speechless. Did she give him a tie to tie her up? "You are a jerk!" "Now you are gonna find out what a jerk is like¡­" Bai Yeqing lowered his voice, whispering to her ears. The cold lips and hot breath made her shiver. His kiss started from her ears, and then went down, down, down, down. "Bai Yeqing¡­ let me go. I don''t want it. Let me go¡­" What''s going on? She never had this feeling before. "Xingchen, now it''s your turn¡­" Bai Yeqing was no better than her. He couldn''t help himself anymore. "What¡­?" Her voice was shaking. She almost lose her mind when he whispered her name Xingchen as if he''s reading a love poet. "Please." Xia Xingchen was shocked. Leaning on the bookshelf with her hands tied up, her blush was deeper. Staring into his eyes with her heartbeat elerating, she couldn''t help thinking the shameful pictures five years ago and the pictures she''s trying to avoid became clearer. She didn''t know where she got the courage, or maybe she just didn''t want him to bear the torture. She kissed him like he did to herself. Her lips were as soft as fragrant petals. The next second he lifted her up and pressed her on his desk. Chapter 97 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy "Mr.President! Something bad happened!" Now, at this moment, someone knocked at the door loudly. The closed door worried the housemaids more than anything now. Xia Xingchen sobered up a bit and looked at him with her alluring eyes. He didn''t tend to stop but shouted. "Get out!" How could he allow anyone to disturb him now? The maids outside totally didn''t know what to do now. The butler''s voice came after a short silence. "Your Excellency, the little master is sick now. If you are busy, we will leave now. I''m gonna call the doctor." Was Dabai sick? The old butler had been serving in this house for years and he always knows how to behave. He won''te to them unless the kid was seriously ill. Xia Xingchen suddenly cleared her mind and started to worry about her child. At the same time Bai Yeqing had already held her waist, trying to move forward. Finally her consciousness told her to hold his hand and stop him. "Hold on. Dabai is sick now. We need to look after him." Damn it! The kid must be his evesting enemy! Bai Yeqing bit on her lips hard with the torture and was upset. "Don''t you know how it hurts for asking a man to stop at this stage?" His voice sounded astonishingly harsh. Xia Xingchen knew his pain but in any sense, the child was more important than anything. Her moist eyes spoke for her heart. "We can''t just leave him there¡­" He snorted. "I''m gonna teach him a lesson about choosing time to be ill." Xia Xingchen beat him on his shoulder. "Don''t punish him. He''s already a poor kid." Bai Yeqing stared at her. The woman always put her kid at the first position. She always thought for the kid! He was no better than the ill kid right now! Even though he''s suffering both mentally and physically, he didn''t move forward. After all, he didn''t know how Dabai was now. But he won''t let her go immediately. He breathed deeply with his body over hers, trying to reduce his torturing lust. There''s still blush on her cheeks and her body was seductively pink. Xia Xingchen tried to calm down. After a while she stretched out her bound hands, asking him. "Why don''t you untie me?" Bai Yeqing untied her and she took the tie back immediately. She had made up her mind that she won''t give him the tie anymore. "Give it to me!" He knew what she''s thinking. "Nope! I regret giving you this sort of gift!" She felt ashamed and mad thinking about what he had done to her just now. This man had too many little tricks. "Give it to me or not?" Bai Yeqing put his body on hers. Even if he didn''t tend to ravish her but the movement had already frightened her and made her blush. "Move! I need my clothes!" He didn''t move away, of course. Xia Xingchene was afraid that he''ll do something stupid so she finally surrendered, hanging the tie over his neck. Now he''s satisfied and moved away from her body. The footsteps outside were getting busy. Xia Xingchen worried about her child badly. Now they both lost the desire of flirting. One minuteter. The door of the reading room had been opened. "What''s wrong with him?" Bai Yeqing walked quickly to Dabai''s room, asking the maids. Xia Xingchen followed him. "Did you contact the doctor?" "Little master got vomited and had diarrhea. Now he gets a fever. Doctor Fu said he might have eaten something wrong. It''s food poisoning. " "Food poisoning? How could it be?" Xia Xingchen looked pale after hearing what the kid was suffering. She rushed to his room. Bai Yeqing was mad. "How could he get food poisoning?" "The butler is working on it." "Make it clear and give me the answer. Or I''ll fire all of you." "Yes, Mr.President." The maid was scared to death. When Bai Yeqing stepped in the kid''s room, Xia Dabai was throwing up in the bathroom. He looked pale as if he would faint at any time. Xia Xingchen felt her heartbreaking. As a mother, she''d like to suffer all the things for her son. Bai Yeqing told the maid to get the cars ready. He grabbed Xia Xingchen a coat and helped clean Xia Dabai. He held the kid in his arms and gave her the coat. "Put it on. It''s cold outside." "OK." Xia Xingchen didn''t know what to do right now. But fortunately, he''s here with her, which made her feel better in this kind of situation. The kid on his shoulder looked painful with his eyes half-opened. His tears went down his face. Xia Xingchen followed him and wiped his tears. Her tears came out of her eyes. Bai Yeqing knew she was sad so he stretched his hand to her. Xia Xingchen was shocked a little bit and put her hand into his. His warm and big handforted her a lot. He pulled her closer to him gently while tapping on the kid''s back. "You are a man. A man can bleed but can''t cry out. " He was taught like that when he was a kid. Xia Xingchen knew he cared about the kid as she did. Xia Dabai was a good boy. He stopped crying after hearing his father''s words. Two spin-offs of the kid One When Xia Dabai was three, he learned how to make dumplings in kindergarten. One day. Xia Xingchen went back home, finding him making dumplings carefully standing on a bench. There were dozens of dumplings on the te. They were not good looking and some of them were even broken. But Xia Xingchen still felt proud of him. She wanted to give somepliments but somehow she dropped several dumplings on the ground. Xia Dabai bent down and picked them up then put them carefully back in the te. Xia Xingchen was shocked. "Baby, it''s dirty. Don''t put them back!" He smiled. "Never mind. Every single one of them has been falling to the ground before." "¡­ ¡­" Two When Xia Dabai was learning the piano, Bai Yeqing drove him to his piano ss to show his love. The piano teacher almost fell in love with Bai Yeqing even if he was wearing a mask. One day. Bai Yeqing sent Dabai to school and greeted the teacher. The teacher yed a beautiful melody for them and kept sending love with her eyes to Bai Yeqing. She asked Dabai at the moment Bai Yeqing walked out. "Why does your father take you here every time? I never see your mother. Don''t they live together?" "Well, not yet." "Well¡­ Dabai, can you give him my number? Then I will teach you to y the most beautiful song, alright?" Xia Dabai knew it already. He smiled. "Do you really wanna ask him out before seeing his face without a mask?" "The look isn''t important. It''s the beautiful heart that matters." "Well, if dad heard this, he would certainly be satisfied. But I feel I have to show you his picture." Xia Dabai had preparation. He took a photo out of his bag. It was Bai Yeqing on the photo but the face was filled withrge scars. The face was terrifying. The teacher was frightened and she almost wanted to throw the photo away. Her heart was broken into pieces. From that moment, every time Bai Yeqing brought Xia Dabai to piano ss, the piano teacher was indifferent and never looked at Bai Yeqing again. Yeah! A ps-ed photo helped to destroy a rival for Dabao! So easy! Chapter 98 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy He was taught like that when he was a kid. Xia Xingchen knew he cared about their child as she did. Xia Dabai is a good boy. He stopped crying after hearing his father''s words. Bai Yeqing smiled slightly. "Good boy." When they walked outside, the car was ready. The bodyguards stood in a line and opened the door of the second car as usual. Bai Yeqing let Xia Xingchen to get in the car first and then he got in the car in pajamas with his son in his arms. The group of cars drove to the No.1 National Hospital. He called Fu Yichen on the way to make sure he and other experts waiting there for them. Xia Xingchen''s face looked paler than the kid''s. "Don''t worry. Doctor Fu tell me children are easier to get this serious problem than adults because their digestion''s more delicate." "¡­OK." Xia Xingchen nodded. Hisforting words could give her power to face problems. She didn''t know exactly when the kid''s little hand got in his big warm hand. Aplicated feeling washed over her now. If she took care of the kid all on her own, she couldn''t offer him the best treatment in such a short time. But the man was different¡­ He could have everything he wanted. Whatever Dabai needed or wanted, Bai Yeqing could offer him the best. The car ran really fast. After a short while, the cars stopped in front of the hospital. The hospital personnel weed them by cleaning all the patients'' family out. All the patients were asked to stay in their own wards. The hospital had never been so quiet before. Dabai had totally lost his consciousness. He fainted. The doctors took him to the emergency department and had his stomach pumped. And that moment his parents were waiting in the VVIP ward. He grabbed her a coat but he only wore his pajamas. He didn''t even changed his shoes. But even wearing those stuff didn''t destroy his dignity. Some people were born aristocratic.He even looked good in his pajamas. Xia Xingchen was afraid that he would get a cold. "I''d better call them to bring a coat for you. What if you get sick¡­" "No, I''m good. I''m not that weak." Bai Yeqing answered gently. He checked the time. It''s been two hours, he wondered how the kid was now. "Your Excellency, don''t worry. Doctor Fu said the kid is out of danger." The medical staff knew what he''s worrying about. No one knew who the child is except Fu Yichen. Though they might wonder, no one dared to ask and talk about it. Sometimes knowing less was better. Or you''ll loose your life for it. The kid was sent to the ward at around three. Fortunately he''s out of danger. The butler called and told it was due to the drumsticks. To their surprise, there were expired foods in the house and somehow it was the kid who ate them. That would certainly made Bai Yeqing furious. Xia Xingchen didn''t know how he dealt with it, she only saw him talking on the phone by the window. There must be rules in the house on dealing with those problems. Xia Xingchen knew she had better not ask him. She just cared about her son. "Don''t let him eat anything in a couple of hours. If he''s thirsty, drop some water on his lips." Fu Yichen told Xia Xingchen. She nodded. Even if there were medical staff, Xia Xingchen insisted on taking care of him by herself. Then Bai Yeqing told everyone to get out. There were only the three of them left in the ward. Xia Xingchen sat on the edge of his bed and slightly put some water on his lips with a cotton swab. Bai Yeqing watched this scene sitting on the couch. Her movements struck a deep chord in his heart. She''s indeed a great mother. But if he let the boy live with her, there''s no proper reason for him to visit her. He started to feel it was good that they didn''t make it in the reading room just now. But he believed that one day, she would surrender to him willingly. "Are you busy tomorrow?" Suddenly she broke the silence while he''s thinking of her. He came to himself and said yes. He never had a day that''s not busy. "Go to sleep for a while then." Xia Xingchen took a quilt out of the closet. The ward was luxurious. It''s far better than the apartment she lived in. The quilt was brand-new and had a nice fragrance. Xia Xingchen walked towards him with the quilt. "It''ste now. Go to sleep for a couple of hours." Bai Yeqing stood up and stared her gently into her eyes. "What about you?" They were too close. The gap between them was filled with the quilt in her arms. Xia Xingchen could smell his refreshing scent, which reminded her of the kiss in the reading room. She blushed and her cheeks were burning. She tried to avoid his eyes. "I''ll sleep with Dabai. I will take care of him." Bai Yeqing didn''t say anything else and took the quilt. Xia Xingchen was about to turn around but suddenly she was pulled to him. She could feel his warm hand on her wrist, which made her heart beat fast. He pulled her into his arms. She let out a yelp and subconsciously put her hands on his shoulders. His eyes watched hers. She felt thirsty and licked her lips. And his kiss arrived. This time the kiss was lingering and soft, unlike the hungry kiss in the living room. His lips lingered on hers and his hands were ced her waist. He held her tightly to himself. Xia Xingchen was losing her mind over him. Her hands clutched the edge of his shirt. The passion in her eyes hasn¡¯t cooled yet when he released her. He smiled at her with sparkling eyes. "Ah, it seems that I''m not the only one who feels it''s a pity in my reading room." Hearing this, Xia Xingchen felt embarrassed and wanted to huddle up in a ball somewhere. "I don''t regret this!" She refused to admit. "You are regretting." "That''s true. I''m regretting." He admitted that. "¡­¡­" She never thought he would reply like that. "You go to sleep!" Chapter 99 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy "¡­¡­" She never thought he would reply like that. "Go to sleep!" Bai Yeqing still held her hands in his. He stared into her eyes. "I''ll fly to Switzend tomorrow morning at 8:15 and I won''t be back in a week. Take care of him for me." A week¡­ That meant she could only see him on TV in a week. Xia Xingchen thought it might be a good chance for her to calm down. "Don''t worry. I''ll take care of him. Go to sleep now. You have to get up early tomorrow." "Sure." He told her in a gentle voice. "Stay with the kid in the house these days. Don''t go back to your apartment in case he''s sick again. Understand?" "Alright." Bai Yeqing touched her earlobe slightly. "If you listen to me every time, there''s no need for me to lose my temper." There''s a hint of sadness and a trace of teasing in his voice. Xia Xingchen felt her earlobe was burning and her heartbeats went faster. She was standing still there until he took the quilt and went out. She came back to her mind. Subconsciously she touched her earlobe. It was hot. About an hourter, the kid was given his injection. Xia Xingchen checked the kid carefully and then went to bed after making sure he''s alright. Xia Dabai opened his eyes sleepily, after finding out it was her, he moved closer. She sighed slightly and hugged him tightly. Fortunately nothing wrong happened in the evening. When Xia Xingchen woke up, it was still dark outside. It''s seven o''clock now. She slept for only two hours. She got up and opened the door quietly, looking into his room. She was worried about him missing the flight. But when she went into the room she found she had worried too much. He had already gone. There''s no one there. He didn''t make his bed before he left. She had no idea when he left. He didn''t even tell her. Looking at the empty bed, Xia Xingchen somehow felt a sense of loneliness as there''s also a ce in her heart became empty. Suddenly she found it was stupid for her to feel upset. It''s all for nothing. She shook her head and started to make the bed, trying not to think about him. "Awake?" Suddenly the voice broke into the silence. Surprised as she looked back at the door, she found Bai Yeqing standing over there. He didn''t leave! It seemed that he was in the bathroom just now. He had already dressed neatlypared to her pajamas. The tie was hanging on his necks. "I thought you had already left." Xia Xingchen said. She couldn''t help looking at him. Her heart was beating fast. He checked his watch and said. "Yep, I have to go. Leng Fei has been waiting outside for an hour." Bai Yeqing walked towards her, looking at her and then at the tie. She understood what he meant and didn''t refuse. While she''s tying the tie for him, he kept staring at her, which made her remember yesterday and the reading room and blushed deeply. Leng Fei was about to hurry him up. He saw the scene in the room and soon walked out again. Bai Yeqing must go now, time''s up. When she finished tying his tie, he went to the ward and kissed the sleeping child. Watching the group of cars drove away in the darkness, she went back to the bed, trying to sleep. Xia Dabai was half-awake now. "Dabao, where''s Little Bai? "Dad''s busy. A lot of things needed for him to sort out. He just left." "OK. He didn''t wake me up." "He kissed you before leaving." She kissed him on his forehead. "Sleep. When you are awake, Doctor Fu will check on you again. If you are alright, mama will take you home." "OK." Xia Dabai closed his eyes and slept. On the president''s ne. After Bai Yeqing had sort out his tie, he got busy with his work. Though something was interruptedst night, he felt good now looking at his tie. The color she chose matched his suit well today. He was satisfied. "Mr.President. Your ck tea." The flight attendant handed him the tea. Bai Yeqing stretched his hand to get the tea. identally his hand hit the cup. The flight attendant was new here and it was his first time to see the president. He was too nervous to hide the hand. The cup was knocked over and the tea was spilled on him. "Sorry. I''m sorry. Mr.President." The flight attendant kept apologizing to him. Leng Fei stood up and frowned. "Why are you so careless?" "Never mind." Bai Yeqing said softly. He waved to him to leave. Leng Fei talked to secretary May. "Prepare another suit for his Excellency." "Yes." May nodded and went to prepare. Bai Yeqing looked at his wet tie and frowned. He took it off and handed it to Leng Fei. "Tell May to dry this for me."Leng Fei was about to tell May to prepare another tie for him. "You''ll wear this er?" "Yes." "There''s a lot of suit and ties for you to choose."Leng Fei said. "No. This one is good." Bai Yeqing went to the changing room. Leng Fei followed him. After a while, Bai Yeqing said. "Don''t leave any trace on the tie. " "¡­¡­" That did surprise Leng Fei. When did he start to care about a tie so much? Later at noon, Fu Yichen said it was okay for them to leave the hospital. Xia Xingchen took the kid home. She was changing her clothes in her bedroom when Chi Weiyang called her. Chi Weiyang worried so much. "Is the boy alright? What happened?" "He ate something bad. But he''s alright now, thanks to Doctor Fu." She noticed the maids in the kitchen had been changed. The former ones all left. The butler handled this thing quickly. She guessed it was Bai Yeqing''s requirement, so she didn''t ask. She was kind of worried. "I didn''t go to work. Did the boss say anything?" "What could he say? You are here because of the president and the Vice President. What could others say? Taking care of my baby boy is your job now." Chapter 100 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy "What could he say? You are here because of the president and the Vice President. What can others say? Taking care of my baby boy is your job now." Xia Xingchen didn''t want to be anything at work. But she couldn''t leave her child alone now. At the same time, the call was not finished yet, a maid came and told her. "Miss. Xia, Miss Bai is here. She is here to see the little master." Miss Bai? Xia Xingchen was shocked for a while. She finally remembered. "Is Miss Bai the president''s sister?" "Yes, Miss.Xia." Chi Weiyang heard on the other side. "Is Minister Bai here? She''s a hero! I admire her! Please do send my overwhelming love for her!" Xia Xingchen rolled her eyes. "I need to go." Bai Suye was the minister of security in S Country. She''s a famous heroine in this country. Many women have been dreaming to be like her, including Xia Xingchen. Everyone heard the famous spy thing. She went to be a spy beside the leader of a frightening mercenary corps, Night Owl. She cut off his right-hand men at that time, which badly hurt him. This heroic thing brought her fame and poprity from all over the world. It built the foundation for her being the minister of security. Xia Xingchen went out of the room after sorting out her clothes. She heard Dabai''s voice before she went into his room. "I miss you so much, auntie." "Come and give me a hug." Bai Suye had been born with an attractive and gentle voice. Xia Xingchen stood at the door and she found Xia Dabai wearing his pajamas with his arms up, trying to hug him. Bai Suye didn''t wear her suit today but a reddish long dress. The color of the dress was enchantingly poppy, attractive and romantic. She was so sexy with the mane of long hair. It''s hard to imagine that this woman broke into a group of terrifying men. If Xia Xingchen never heard Miss Bai''s story, she would never believe she could even fight and shoot perfectly. "You naughty boy. Don''t eat whatever you see, OK? " She was so gentle when she talked to the kid. Xia Dabai loved beautiful girls. When Bai Yeqing smiled at him and hugged him, the only thing he knew was nodding his head and saying yes. "Auntie, when will grandpa and grandmae to see me?" "We didn''t tell them you were ill. They are old. If they know you are seriously sick, they might be worried sick. And they are gonna teach your father some lessons. He knows nothing of taking care of you." Hearing this, Xia Xingchen felt sorry for the kid. She didn''t take care of him well. But she felt assured. She once worried Bai Yeqing''s family wouldn''t ept Dabai. But now she knew it was nonsense. She could tell from the words that the whole family loved the kid a lot. "Miss Xia." Bai Suye saw her standing at the door. She came back to her mind and smiled. "Minister Bai." "Dabao!" Xia Dabai called her and reached his hand. Xia Xingchen walked over and took the kid from Bai Suye''s arms. She touched his forehead and felt rxed after making sure he''s not sick. "Dabai is lovely. Last time on Yeqing''s birthday, he took him back to see my parents. They loved the kid so much and they kept asking when could he visit them again." "I believe he will visit them soon when Mr.Presidentes back." Xia Xingchen replied. "Sure." Bai Suye met Xia Xingchen before, but they were all busy at that time so they didn''t have time to get to know each other. Now she had the time to look her up and down. "Last time on Yeqing''s birthday, he told me he''ll bring you back together. It was a pity you didn''t show up." That surprised Xia Xingchen. He wanted to ask her out to bring her to see his parents? She had never thought about it before. So what''s his intention to take her home to see his parents? At the same time, in another ce. Song''s house. Song Weiyi was learning arranging flowers. The air in the luxurious lobby was filled with beautiful scents. The maid handed her a document. "Miss Song, your package." "Open it for me." Song Weiyi didn''t lift her head, putting thest piece of the flower into the vase. Mei Liuli, the vice president''s wife was sitting there and drinking a cup of tea. "Nice. You have made great progress." "Of course. I''m smart and it''s easy for me to learn anything." Song Weiyi was satisfied. "You are the best at saying you are the best. You are going to be the First Lady in the future. Don''t talk like this in front of him. He''llugh at you." Hearing the title First Lady, Song Weiyi smiled. The sweetness went around her heart. Now the maid opened the package for her but didn''t look at it. Song Weiyi cleaned her hands with the towel sent by a maid. "Who sent it to me?" She checked the package bag. There''s no information on it. "That''s odd." She was suspicious and took out the stuff from the document. There were a bunch of photos. And the people on the photos¡­were being too intimate on a bus! Song Weiyi''s face turned pale. The hand holding the photos was shaking. Staring at the woman in the photos, she wanted to chop her up into little bits. "Damn it! Damn it!" She was livid and her voice was shaking. Seeing her like this, Mei Liuli stood up and went to her. "What makes you furious? What''s wrong? Let me have a look." She grabbed the photos. Mei Liuli felt so angry that she felt a lump in her chest. She hit on the arm of the chair. "How could he treat us with this? How could he do such a thing with a woman on a bus?" Song Weiyi started to destroy the photos as if she was destroying Xia Xingchen. "Calm down. Let me check the woman. I what to know who she is." Mei Liuli told her. Chapter 101 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy "Calm down. Let me check the woman. I what to know who she is." Mei Liuli told her. "No need. I know who she is. I''ve met her before! Her sister told me she''s a nasty piece of work. She had lots of boyfriends before and she even got pregnant. She gave birth to a baby when she was 18!" Mei Liuli was shocked. "What? How could Mr.President get involved with her? That''s insane." "Why not? You knew men''s nature. They all say men are no good if they''re not bad. But now it''s different! Women are no good if they''re not bad! " "I never thought he could be such a shallow person." Mei Liuli said. "It seems that I need to have a talk with your dad. We need to discuss the whole marriage thing though." "Don''t. Don''t talk with dad. What are you trying to say?" Song Weiyi stopped Mei Liuli. "Don''t you know what he''s thinking about? He had already wanted to sacrifice my marriage to get power. He will certainly force me to marry him. And¡­ if I don''t marry him, that will absolutely satisfy the girl. It might be her who sent me those photos! I WILL marry him! And I''m gonna teach her some lessons." When Song Weiyi finished her speech, her eyes became sharp. She was a princess. Everyone obeyed her all the time. But now a normal girl''s trying to challenge her! And the woman even had a child! How could Song Weiyi bear such things? "Weiyi, what are you going to do?" "Mom, don''t worry. I''m just going to tell her the result of fighting me for a man. " Mai Liuli agreed with her. "That''s okay. It''s good to warn people if they know nothing about power. But I have to warn you first. Don''t kill people. Your father is the Vice President. If there''s something serious, he''s gonna be done." "Oh mom,e on! Why should I kill her?" She certainly wouldn''t just kill her. She''s gonna make her life a living hell. Xia Dabai hadn''t recoveredpletely. He went to sleep again after taking some medicine. Bai Suye turned to Xia Xingchen. "It''s not that easy for us to meet. Let''s take a walk downstairs,e on." Xia Xingchen nodded her head. She tucked in the covers for the kid and went downstairs. Bai Suye was sitting beside the fountain. The Roman columns decorated the image. She''s just like Bai Yeqing. She''s a beautiful picture even if she did nothing and just sitting over there. Xia Xingchen thought she might know what''s going toe next. Honestly speaking, there''s nothing for them to talk about except Bai Yeqing. She walked over. Bai Suye smiled at her and said. "Come." Xia Xingchen sat next to her. She didn''t want to break the silence first. The breeze made everything seemed nice and rxed. A maid came and brought a cape for her. She thanked the maid gently. Bai Suye watched her, sipping from her coffee cup. "Is it hard to raise the child all by yourself these years?" "It''s alright though. I''m satisfied." She knew the hard times and she thought it¡¯s better to keep them as secrets inside her. She didn''t have the passion to share everything with others. Everything''s over. She''s good now. Dabai was good, too. The only thing she wishes now was that Bai Yeqing allows her to take Dabai home. There''s nothing for her toin. "Is it okay for you to live here?" Bai Suye asked. Xia Xingchen smiled. "I found an apartment. I moved out. I came because the kid was sick. I promised him to live here to take care of Dabai." "You moved out?" Bai Suye was shocked. "Forgive me for speaking frankly. If other women get the chance to live in this house, they won''t want to move out." Xia Xingchen stopped talking. Bai Suye put down her cup. "Do you know Yeqing is going to be engaged to Song Weiyi?" This was not a new topic. But it still hurt to hear it again. After a while she lifted her head up. "I heard." "What do you think?" "Me?" Xia Xingchen asked with a bitter smile. "It''s the president''s choice. What can I say?" Women were always more considerate than men. Bai Yesu looked into her eyes. Her eyes were about to pierce her soul. Xia Xingchen held the cup more tightly. "Yeqing let you live here and he even wanted to introduce you to my parents. I guess you really mean a lot to him. But, you know¡­ for people like us, marriage is totally different from love. We can love anyone we want but we can''t choose the people we marry." Bai Yesu had a nice voice. Slight like the hint of a cloud in the sky. But when the soft voice went into Xia Xinghen''s heart. It still hurt a lot. "At that time, after my father lost thepetition by a few votes to the brother of Vice President Song, tons of scandals flooded into our family. My uncle died for that and my third uncle was still in jail now. Now Yeqing has been trying to clear his name. But it''s so hard. We can''t do that by ourselves. We need to get some help from the old members of the House of Representatives. If Song Guoyao would help us, it will go smoothly. People think Yeqing is powerful and he could get anything he wants. But that''s not true. The high position and strong power also brought him restrictions and fears. We don''t know how many people are there waiting for him to make a mistake or copse. We don''t know how many people are there waiting to attack him. And also, we don''t even know the consequences." Xia Xingchen couldn''t tell how she was feeling now. Maybe it was what politics and power actually meant. Even if they don''t have to face the rain of bullets, but the traps around them were more dangerous than bullets. Last time he was seriously injured in the White Feather Pce. If he was careless, he might have already died. Xia Xingchen was frightened thinking about this. He was walking on the edge of the knife all the time. But he never showed a hint of danger to her and their child. Watching her reactions, Bai Suye smiled. "You don''t have to worry about him. We are used to the situation in these years. I only want to warn you that if you can leave, just go. It''s a good choice for both of you. I''m afraid one day, if he can''t live without you, he''ll let himself in trouble. People like him needn''t and can''t have weaknesses." Chapter 102 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy Bai Suye made it pretty clear. As an outsider, she''s more sensible. And Xia Xingchen was smart enough to get her point. Xia Xingchen lifted her head and looked into her eyes. "Don''t worry about that. Not to mention that Mr. President doesn''t care about me that much, even if he does, I know very well that we are from different worlds. As you just said, a lot of women are seeking the chance to live here but they can''t. I''m no better than them. I want to live here, too. But I understand. This ce never belongs to me." Xia Xingchen turned to look at the house behind her. The splendid presidential residence. The zed tiles reflected the dazzling sunlight, which made her unable to open her eyes. After a while, she turned her head and said to Bai Suye. "The house is going to wee its new hostess soon. And I don''t want to be thrown out." The most important thing is¡­ She will never allow herself to love him like a moth to a me. Bai Suye walked away. Xia Xingchen sits over there for quite a long time. She could still feel the freezing cold inside her even if she had a cape on. She just sat there for a long time, like forever, until a maid walked up and reminded her it''s cold outside. The kid was still sleeping. Xia Xingchen went to visit Xu Yan with some fruits to show her gratitude. She didn''t n to stay for long but she never thought she would meet Xia Xingkong there. When they meet, Xia Xingkong gave her a bitter look that tended to tear her apart. But she pretended to smile in front of Xu Yan''s parents. Xia Xingchen didn''t mean to bother her. She brought the stuff there, stayed for a while and quickly said goodbye to Xu Yan''s parents. This time they didn''t try to make her stay, apparently, it''s because of Xia Xingkong. She went out, waiting for her car on the street. "Xia Xingchen!" Xia Xingkong came to her before her car. "What''s wrong?" She turned back to face Xia Xingkong. "Don''t you live in the presidential residence? Doesn''t the president give you a car? You actually have to wait for a taxi, huh?" Xia Xingkong could never speak a good word to her. "Now the hospital has already allowed the family to visit the patients. So now I''m going to visit Dad. If there''s nothing, I''m gonna go now." A taxi just stopped, Xia Xingchen walked over. Watching her leave, Xia Xingkong could not hold her voice anymore. "I just want to warn you to be practical. Just leave him and move out from the presidential residence." Xia Xingchen frowned. Who did she think she was? "It''s none of your business. Whether I choose to move out or not, there''s no possibility for you to move into the house." Xia Xingchen gave her a cold look. "You''d better focus on Xu Yan." "You¡ª" Xia Xingkong was speechless with anger. She remembered what she was about to say when Xia Xingchen got in the taxi. "Xia Xingchen! Song Weiyi had already known the rtionship between you and the president! I''ll just wait and see what''s gonna happen! She won''t let it go!" Her words squeezed into the taxi through the door. She frowned slightly. Did Song Weiyi really know? But¡­ what''s their rtionship though? It''s just a sort of dubious game. Xia Xingchen went to see Xia Guopeng. Fortunately, his situation was getting better and he would recover soon. Xia Xingchen felt much better. It was about dinner when she got back to the presidential residence. Xia Dabai was awake and watching TV in his room. He''s a big fan of the technology channel. Xia Xingchen finally felt rxed after making sure he''s okay now. She remembered something and handed her phone to him. "What?" He nced at the phone and then turned his head to the tv again. "Change it now." "Change what?" Xia Xingchen opened the contacts on her phone, pointing at the "husband in the future". "Change it before your father sees it." She thought the name was too much. If Bai Yeqing saw it, he must think she''s looking to take the ce of First Lady. Xia Dabai pouted his lips at her. How could his father still be blind to notice this name? "Don''t you like it?" Xia Dabai didn''t want to change it. "No. I don''t like it. I hate the name." "Why?" Xia Xingchen sat down next to the kid. "Because he''s never gonna be my husband and I won''t be his wife. The name is misleading. It''s embarrassing." "Is it? Okay, sure. I''ll change it." Xia Dabai grabbed her phone. Xia Xingchen was touched. It''s not easy for the kid to understand her feelings. But¡­ "¡­well, Dabao. I forget how to do it." "What?" Xia Xingchen was mad. "You did it on purpose! Absolutely!" "I''m not¡­" Xia Dabai used his innocent eyes to look at her. "Maybe the drumsticks destroyed my memory. I just forget it now." "¡­¡­" Xia Xingchen took back her phone. "You are useless." Apparently the touching moments disappeared quickly. Xia Dabai grinned watching her. All he wanted was to make sure that Little Bai noticed the name. The evening news was all about the trip he paid to Switzend. Xia Xingchen couldn''t stop fiddling with the controls. But she stopped switching channels immediately when she saw the familiar face. Switzend was holding a world summit on energy construction. Many of the leaders were there. Standing among the best of them, he was the focus. His extraordinary temperament attracted everyone''s attention under the shlight. Xia Xingchen wondered whether the unfinished promise still count. In retrospect, the night was a pretty good jolt to her like burning in the fire. But¡­ Bai Yeqing''s parents and his sister cherished Dabai so much. Should she change her mind? Should she just let him be here? At least Bai Yeqing could teach Dabai how to be more persistent and brave. People say that boys need their fathers''pany. Her phone rang while she was thinking about him. Surprised she found the name on the screen made her heart beat faster. Chapter 103 Trantor: Sweet Bun from Proofreader: Mcsy Her phone rang while she was thinking about him. Surprised, she found the name on the screen made her heart beat faster. She picked up the phone after being shocked. "Why so long? Were you sleeping?" Bai Yeqing''s voice came to her from the other side. So remote but close. He always goes abroad but this was the first time he called her since they have known each other . Maybe he''s just worrying about the kid. She shook her head. "No. I was watching the international news." "News?" Bai Yeqing smiled and started to test her. "I thought you never watch that." "¡­¡­" Xia Xingchen felt embarrassed. This conversation is going to expose her. "No, I don''t like it. But Dabai loves it. I just give himpany." "Really?" He exposed her mercilessly. "But the butler told me Dabai had already slept." Xia Xingchen was kind of annoyed. All the exnations were useless so she nned to keep silent. After all she, could not hide anything from this man. "Don''t sleep toote." Fortunately he didn''t keep on mocking her. Xia Xingchen replied with a short "sure". Tons of questions were waiting inside her. What time was it there? How''s he doing? But she stopped. It''s always good to know when to stop, she thought. Or she might get addicted to him, but she knew she can''t. "OK. Then." She whispered. "OK." Xia Xingchen bit down on her bottom lip, listening closely to his breath. Somehow she felt forlorn. "What''s wrong?" Bai Yeqing somehow knew she''s feeling bad now. She looked away from the news channel, staring at a random point in the air. "You hang up." Her soft tone lingered in the night like a hint of cloud. Vague and soft. Bai Yeqing seemed to be cheered up. He even smiled and his tone became more flirty. "Wait for me to finish what we didn''t dost night." Xia Xingchen secretly blushed. "Oh I have moved on. You don''t have the chance to do it anymore." She hung up the phone quickly before he could say anything else. Xia Xingchen leaned back on the sofa after hanging up his call. Staring the name "husband in the future" on the phone created a very subtle feeling. Bitter sweet. The next day Xia Xingchen went to work as usual. Bai Yeqing didn''te back yet, so she stayed with Xia Dabai in the presidential residence. Xia Dabai kept talking about him these days. He missed him so much. Xia Xingchen thought she was affected by the kid and that''s the reason she started to watch international news. Xia Dabai once called him. But he was too busy there and two hours of sleep seemed too luxury. So Leng Fei picked the phone up for him because he was sleeping. From then on Xia Xingchen forbade Xia Dabai bothering him with nothing. The difference between the time zones mademunication rarer. Most of the time the maids picked up his phone calls because at that time Xia Xingchen and the kid had already slept. It was the seventh day he left this city. Xia Xingchen had already made up her mind. She chose to end this rtionship with him when he came back. That night, they made a deal. She tried to pretend like nothing happened. If he really wanted his son, she''ll just quit. She stepped out of the building thinking about it and her heart was breaking inside. Chi Weiyang looked at her. "Why do you look so pale?" "I don''t know. I just feel nervous." Xia Xingchen sighed and tapped her chest. It must be the kid. The heartbreaking moment she just had must came out because she''s losing him. The feeling got stronger as if something was about to happen. "You must be frightened byst time. How careless you were! The whole bunch of people in the house couldn''t even take care of him." "It''s my problem." Xia Xingchen still felt sorry for the whole thing. Now the taxi came and Xia Xingchen let Chi Weiyang go first. Waiting for her taxi there, somehow she felt anxious again. Were there any taxis avable? She stepped forward a little bit and suddenly, a taxi stopped right in front of her. "Taxi?" "Yep." She nodded and got into the car. She didn''t notice the license te had been blocked. She didn''t notice the driver was wearing a mask until she sat down in the passenger seat. His face waspletely covered behind a ck mask, leaving only two terrifying eyes shot at her. She was frightened. A sense of danger hanging around her. She tried to open the door but she couldn''t. "Let me go!" She creamed and pat the window. "Do you hear me? Let me go! Open the door!" "Don''t waste your time." He grinned and stretched his hand to grab her hair. Suddenly she was pulled closer to him. Screaming and kicking, she left a scratch on his neck. Before she could escape, someone covered her mouth and nose with a wet towel. The smelly towel made her feel dizzy. Quickly she didn''t even have the energy to struggle and then she lost her consciousness. Who the hell was this guy? Late at night. Bai Yeqing got a phone call from Xia Dabai at the moment he got off of the ne. "Dad. Dabao must have left us." Xia Dabai was crying. Bai Yeqing frowned. "What happened?" "She said she woulde back. But she didn''te back yet. I called her she didn''t answer. I just located her phone, it was in a remote ce." He secretly installed a locator in her phone when he yed with her phone. He always check where she was when she''s not around him. But he never thought she''s gonna leave them secretly and went to such a far ce. Bai Yeqing scowled after hearing this. He had Xia Dabai sent the location to him. Remote? It''s in the wilderness! Somehow a sense of danger came to him. Bai Yeqing frowned and got into his car. He asked the driver to the location. "Now check the security tape in the Foreign Ministry. I need to know what happened to her right now." Leng Fei worried about him. "You have been busy for almost three days. You don''t have to go so far. We can go to find her. Maybe you should go back and have some rest?" "No." He only replied with one word. And then he added. "Be quick! If something really happened, you are done!" She would never leave the kid home and go to such a ce!
Wee to our discord to get update notifications: https://discord.gg/dYphGtd Chapter 104 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy Freezing cold. The freezing cold was going deep into her bones and every one of her cells. The cold woke her up. She had no idea where she was and what had happened to her. Darkness. Darkness was all around her. She tried to move her body. Fortunately, she could move her body freely. She tried to recall what happened. The terrifying eyes appeared in her mind. She tried to find something in the dark to stand up. Apparently¡­ She was kidnapped now! But who would do that to her? She didn''t have a fortune so it''s not for money. She didn''t even have enemies. Except¡­ Suddenly she recalled what Xia Xingkong told her several days before. The answer came into her mind. Song Weiyi¡­ Will it be her? Xia Xingchen felt nervous when she thought about her. If it was really Song Weiyi who did it, did she still have the chance to survive? It was easy for the powerful people to kill her like pinching an ant to death. "Hello? Is anyone here?" Xia Xingchen lost her patience after waving her hands in the dark and started to yell. "Let me go!" The heavy door rolled up slowly as if someone had heard her voice. The sound was particrly abrupt in the silent room. The echo made the whole room more quiet. Someone opened the door. The strong light shone into the darkness. Xia Xingchen was dazzled by the bright lights. She subconsciously raised her hand up to cover her forehead. She looked towards the door. Six motorbikes thundered into the room with six big and muscr men. The men stopped around her. Suddenly she was surrounded by them. They looked her up and down in a dirty and lustful way. "Lucky me! She''s quite pretty." A man whose face was full of scars jumped from his motorbike and walked closer to her. Xia Xingchen was scared. She tried to step backwards but hit on the wall. "Pretty hot. Her face is shining. Nice! But can she take all of us? If wee on together, will she die? Huh?" Another fat guy got closer to her and touched her neck. "Fuck off!" Xia Xingchen thought they were gross. Totally gross. "How dare you? You wanna die?" The guy changed his face so quickly. He pped her face with no mercy. The p made her dizzy. Blood came out of her mouth. She was terrified, actually. She was shivering and her fingers even dug into the wall. She tended to beg them for mercy. But she didn''t. She spits out some blood and stared furiously at the guys. The stubbornness and bravery on her face cannot be easily removed. "If you dare to touch me. I won''t forgive you even in hell!" The guys were shocked a little bit. Usually, when a woman faced those guys she would certainly be scared to death and kept begging them. They never thought the delicate woman won''t cry and even tried to threaten them. "What the hell? She''s trying to scare us. Now you are going to pay for it. We will make you beg us in bed!" Someone shouted and others jumped off there motorbikes. Xia Xingchen screamed. "Fuck off! Don''t touch me!" When Bai Yeqing''s cars rushed into the underground garage like monsters, Xia Xingchen was already in rags. Her dirty face was full of blood and wounds. But she was still fighting. She stood there like a fighter with her high heels in her hands as weapons. She was sharp and brave confronting him. And the guy around her were not much better. They looked beaten up with wounds on their faces. Damn it. Bai Yeqing felt like he wanted to destroy them. The guys heard him and turned around subconsciously. The president of S Country stood over there with his cold hawk-like eyes staring at them. He looked exactly like the frightening Satan from hell. "It''s the¡­ the president!" "Run!!!" Someone recognized him so they jumped on their motorbikes and tried to escape. But Bai Yeqing''s people took them immediately. "Stay! Don''t move!" Bai Yeqing gnashes his teeth and walked towards Xia Xingchen. She was so anxious and shivering there. She put down all her guards at the moment he''s close to her. Bai Yeqing held her waist and hugged her tightly in his arms to protect. "Are you alright?" His voice was harsh. He put his coat over her to cover her up. What if he''ste¡­ He didn''t dare to think about the results. If he''s one minutete, she won''t be able to hold on. "¡­¡­" She could not even talk because of the threats. Tears were running down like pearls on her face. She was totally different from the fighter awhile ago. Bai Yeqing held the gun in his hand tightly. The veins stood out on the back of his hand. "Close your eyes." He told her gently and stretched his hand to cover her eyes. She buried her tearful face into his chest. "Pong¡ª¡ª" He fired the gun. "Ah!" A man screamed and covered his crotch. He rolled on the ground in the most painful way. That part of his body was bleeding. And then Bai Yeqing fired the gun several times. The scream was long and piercing. Others were frightened. They quickly kneeled down and begged for mercy. Bai Yeqing gave the gun to Leng Fei without any emotion. "Keep one alive and kill the others."

"Keep one alive and kill the others." Every single word he said sounded chilling cold and cruel. He picked up Xia Xingchen and put her into the car. The car was deathly silent on their way back. Bai Yeqing held her in his arms all the time with his hand clenched and his eyes looking at her. Leng Fei dared not to break the silence except calling Dr.Fu to make sure he would go to the presidential residence as soon as possible. Xia Xingchen could feel she was drowned in the endless darkness and nightmares kept torturing her as if hordes of monsters were chasing her. She yelled for help but it didn''t work. On the edge of desperation, a man finally came to her like a god¡­ The strong figure and warm chest assured her like the whole world was safe with him. "Is she alright?" Bai Yeqing asked Fu Yichen coldly. The tension was still on his face. "The wounds are treated. Fortunately, they are just bruises. But she got a panic attack. She was seriously frightened. She was injured mentally and that''s going to take a long time to heal." Bai Yeqing nodded his head slightly, looking at her bed. The gloom on his face was finally reced by a hint of pity. Pale as she was, lying down over there. The kid stayed there with his moist eyes. He somehow kept blowing on her face as if it could reduce her pain. Bai Yeqing was touched. He saw the bond between them. He understood why she would like to beg him for the kid despite all the humiliation he gave her. After a while he turned his head, looking at Fu Yichen. It''s hard for him to say that. "Was she¡­?" He just stopped there. "No." Fu Yichen got him. He knew exactly what he''s going to ask. "We have sent the nurse to check her, she''s safe and sound." Bai Yeqing finally felt a bit rxed upon hearing this. He couldn''t imagine what would happen if he didn''t arrive on time. At the same time, Leng Fei knocked on the door and went in. "Your Excellency." Bai Yeqing got the sign from Leng Fei. He turned to Fu Yichen. "Get her some medicine. I''ll be right back soon." Then he stepped out. In the reading room. Bai Yeqing stood by the window with a cold look. Leng Fei said. "Your Excellency, those guys were stubborn and they kept emphasizing it was their idea to kidnap her. But¡­" "But, this whole thing must have something to do with the Song''s?" It was a question but also a statement. He looked outside the window and the darkness made him more mysterious. Leng Fei didn''t know what he''s thinking about, but he''s pretty sure that Mr.President must have got his ns. "It must have something to do with the Song''s. So, Your Excellency ¡­ I don''t think we should go further¡­" If they pursued it, the Song''s would be the final answer. But it was definitely not a good choice to open hostilities at this moment with Yu Zeyao watching and waiting. Leng Fei believed the president would make a wise decision after rational consideration. "Where''s the remaining gangster?" Bai Yeqing didn''t respond to Leng Fei. "He''s still here." "Send him to the Song''s and have the Vice President himself handle it." Leng Fei was shocked and said yes. He was kind of rxed. The thing was done. When Bai Yeqing went back to the room, Fu Yichen and his medical team had already left. Xia Xingchen fell into an uneasy sleep. She kept sweating and her eyshes kept trembling like the wings of a butterfly. The maids were trying to calm her down and twisting towels for her. Xia Dabai squatted beside her bed staring at her. Seeing him walked in, Xia Dabai ran to him and buried his face into his hug. Tears came out of his eyes. "Don''t cry!" Bai Yeqing was serious. "Hold your tears back!" "But¡­ but I worry about Dabao." He tried to hold back the tears but he cried more loudly with his body shaking. "Don''t worry. Your Uncle Fu said it was just some bruises. She will be alright tomorrow." "She''s in pain. I know it. It hurts." "¡­ ¡­" He closed his mouth tightly, looking at Xia Xingchen silently. After a while, he touched the kid''s head. "Don''t cry. If you do worry about her, go back to your room and sleep. She would worry about you if she knew you hadn''t slept yet." "But, who takes care of her if I leave?" Bai Yeqing lifted the kid up silently and took him back to his room. He came back to her room after making sure the kid''s sleeping. He sent all the servants away so there were only the two of them in the room. Hey down on the bed, wearing his robe. She was going through a tough time in her dream because she kept waving her hands in the bed. He noticed that and held her hands gently in his. And he stretched his free hand under her neck and then she''s in his arms. Xia Xingchen was sleeping but she could still feel the familiar scent, which could help a lot to ovee the pain. Her body, which was stiff before, became soft. She hugged his waist subconsciously as if she was seeking shelter. Bai Yeqing sighed and gently kissed her on her forehead. The night was quiet and peaceful. The next day. Xia Xingchen woke up, finding there''s only her herself in the bed. She looked vacantly in the air. Was it a dream that they slept togetherst night? Did he actually hold her in his arms? She touched the bed. She could even feel his temperature. She smelled the air. His scent was lingering in the air. That helpfully assured her. "Miss. Xia, you are awake." The servant was relieved finding she''s awake. "Yes." Xia Xingchen felt the pain on her swollen face. She wanted to touch her face but her arm was painfully shivering. She didn''t think she had the chance to survive yesterday so she used every hint of her strength to fight. No wonder she got injured.

The servant helped her to get up by adding a pillow behind her. "Be careful. I got you your breakfast. We''ll make you another poultice when you finish it." "Thanks." Xia Xingchen showed her gratitude weakly. Her mind was clear now and thest night came to her again. Those men tried to assault her. They tore up her shirt. And someone even grabbed her chest¡­ She couldn''t hold on for even one more second mentally and physically at that moment¡­¡­ Fortunately, he came to her. She was scared and took the quilt to cover herself. "Is he here?" She''s still shivering. "You mean Mr.President?" She nodded. "Mr.President went to the presidential office. But he''s been worrying about you. He barely sleptst night." The servant started to ramble. "In retrospect, I''ve been here for years but I''ve never seen Mr.President being so frightening before. When he came backst night, even the butler didn''t dare to talk to him." Xia Xingchen remembered the terrifying picturesst night and the gunshots. She remembered Bai Yeqing covered her eyes. But she could still feel the cruelty and the viciousness as if the gun in his hand was his toy. She never saw him like that before. She felt like she didn''t know him. Just as Yu Zenan and Bai Suye told her, he got this position based on tons of lives and ocean of blood¡­ Xia Xingchen was not frightened by him. She''s just worrying about him. She felt like people could die easily in their world, including themselves. The servant went downstairs to get her breakfast. Xia Dabai ran to her after hearing she''s awake, fast like a gust of wind. "Dabao." He started to cry at the very moment he saw her. Xia Xingchen tapped her bed, letting him sit down. "Why didn''t you go to the riding lessons?" "Little Bai told me he''s busy. So I could stay to give youpany at home. Don''t let your mind run wild." Xia Xingchen smiled. "I''m not that weak. I swear I won''t." "Are you still in pain?" Xia Dabai wanted to touch her face. But he took his hand back halfway because he thought she might still in pain. "No." Xia Xingchen was satisfied knowing he cared about her so much. At the same time, her phone rang. Xia Dabai grabbed her phone before she took any reaction. The name was shining on the screen. He said. "It''s Little Bai." Xia Xingchen picked up the phone. "Awake?" He spoke first. Maybe the servant had already called him. She said yes. "I just woke up. Thank you for yesterday. If you were not there¡­ I might¡­" She looked at the kid. She didn''t dare to imagine what would happenst night. "It''s in the past." Bai Yeqing only said that. He''s not that good atforting people. "Stay at home these days. Don''t go anywhere else." Xia Xingchen didn''t have the courage of hanging out now. She''s not sure whether it''s Song Weiyi or not. But she did not want to be anyone''s enemy. "Miss.Xia, your breakfast." Now the servant came in with the little cart. Bai Yeqing was getting busy and he had to go. "Go eat your breakfast. I''ll try to get home early." Thest sentence made her kind of in trance. He said it in a pretty natural way as if they were family or a couple¡­ Couple? Bitterness came to her. She shook her head to avoid thinking about it. "Sure. But your work is more important." Bai Yeqing said nothing though. Silence. And they hung up. The servant helped Xia Xingchen move to the sofa. Xia Dabai couldn''t help so he just stood there and looking at her. He had already eaten his breakfast but he did it twice to apany her. Fu YIchen came when they finished eating. He and the assistant came to deal with her wounds. She just knew she got a dislocation of her hand yesterday because of fighting too hard. The servant came into the room when Fu Yichen finished. "Miss.Xia. You have a guest downstairs. Should I take Miss Chi here for you?" Xia Xingchen noticed Fu Yichen slowed down as if he''s waiting for Chi Weiyang. Xia Xingchen understood now. They were not just "knowing each other." "Sure." Chi Weiyang was wearing a shirt and jeans. She added a light yellow cardigan, which made her bright and attractive. She noticed Fu Yichen when she came in but that''s all. She saw his car outside. She was nervous at first but she got ready for that when she''s downstairs. Now she''s cool with it. "What''s wrong? I heard you were attacked. What happened?" Chi Weiyangpletely ignored Fu Yichen and directly sat on the bed. "Let me check your wounds." "It''s alright. Nothing happened." "Any ideas who kidnapped you?" Xia Xingchen shook her head. "Not exactly." "You don''t have any enemies, do you? If you have, that would certainly be Xia Xingkong. Does she hate you that much? That''s against humanity. I mean, you are her sister!" "I don''t think it''s her." Xia Xingchen said. "If she really wanted to kill me, she would have done it when we were young." "That''s a point." "Never mind." Xia Xingchen took Chi Weiyang''s hands and secretly looked at Fu Yichen. "It''s weekend though. What about staying here? Dabai hadn''t seen you for a while. He missed you so much." Xia Dabai opened the door now. He rushed to her as soon as possible. "Godmother!" "My baby!" Chi Weiyang lifted Xia Dabai up and kissed him. "Will you eat drumsticks next time?" Xia Dabai shook his head quickly. But the next second he nodded his head. "Yeah. I still like drumsticks. Stay for lunch. I can get you some nice drumsticks."
Wee to our discord to get update notifications: https://discord.gg/dYphGtd Chapter 107 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy "That''s a lot." Chi Weiyang smiled and pinched his face. "Nope. I can''t stay here. I have something necessary to do today." "More necessary than drumsticks?" "You little foodie." Chi Weiyang paused and smiled. "I have a date. You are gonna have a godfather. Isn''t that necessary?" Xia Xingchen looked at Fu Yichen subconsciously. He frowned. Suddenly Fu Yichen lifted his head. "Miss. Xia, take care. I''ll see you tomorrow." "Okay, sure. Thanks, Dr.Fu." She got her mind back and nodded. The servant sent Fu Yichen out. Chi Weiyang stopped smiling after he left. A hint of sadness removed the well-pretended smile. Xia Xingchen tapped the kid''s head. "Go fetch some juice for your godmother." "OK. I''m on it." The kid ran downstairs quickly. Now there were only the two of them in the room. Chi Weiyang stood up and went to the window. She didn''t took back her eyes until Fu Yichen''s car disappeared. "Real date or not?" Xia Xingchen asked. Chi Weiyang said nothing. She justid down on the bed beside Xia Xingchen. She moved a bit and hugged Xia Xingchen with her arms. Xia Xingchen could hear the heavy and bitter breathing. Xia Xingchen hugged back. She tapped her back slightly. Weiyang was always a strong and positive fighter in her whole life. She never saw her like this before. "Did something happen?" She asked gently. "A couple of days before, I saw him and his wife¡­" Xia Xingchen knew exactly who she meant. "It hurts a lot. He moved on. But I''m still stuck in the memories. I can''t forget¡­" Chi Weiyang started crying. Xia Xingchen knew that Dr.Fu didn''t move on. There''s still something between them. But no matter what, he got married. The status stopped all the things between them. "Weiyang, you will get over. Now he''s married. That means he''s not the best one for you. Maybe yours is on the way." Xia Xingchen tried tofort her but at the same time, she knew nothing would help for a person stuck in the trap of love. If that''s a simple thing, why did she kept being single? Why did she refuse anyone who wanted to be her boyfriend? "I tell myself I''m going to move on." Chi Weiyang smiled and lifted her head from the quilt. "Xingchen, do you still think I can love others?" Chi Weiyang thought the years with Fu Yichen had drained all of her love. "Give it a go, at least. If you find one, that''s good. If you can''t, nothing bad for you." In Song''s house. Now everyone in the house kept quiet out of fear. The man''s screaming from the house in the backyard frightened everyone. Song Weiyi stood there with her mother Mei Liuli. She looked pale and her legs were shaking as if she would fall down at any time. Mei Liuli was scared, too. "I should have stopped you¡­" "Mom, you must help me now. Dad''s gonna kill me." At thest word, the door was opened violently. Song Guoyao came out with the fierceness and rage. Song Weiyi wanted to say something but she tasted a good p on her face even before she could open her mouth. Suddenly her face swelled and tears kept going down on her face. She was shivering, trying to hold the tears back. Song Guoyao was about to p her again. Mei Liuli rushed to him, holding his hand tightly. She cried. "Guoyao! You only have one daughter!" "How dare you? You spoiled her!" Song Guoyao yelled at her. "The people she found this time were my people. We did things together. We fought. Now they were killed by Bai Yeqing one by one. And I had to give him those fucking weapons." "Our Weiyi is still young and naive. Those people worked with you for years. It was their own problem¡­ah¡­" He put the gun against Mei Liuli''s head. She was scared to death and kneeled before him. Song Weiyi held the gun. "Father! Just kill me! I told them to do it. They didn''t dare to say no! I have to take responsibility for my actions!" "Stop¡­" Mei Liuli hugged her daughter, crying. Song Weiyi cried, her face like stone. "I was just about to teach her some lessons. I have to fight for my man. She teased him so she deserved it!" "I don''t care about those stuff. If you got me in trouble again, I''m definitely gonna kill you." Song Guoyao''s words were like bullets shooting at her heart. He left after finishing the stunning threatening speech. Mei Liuliy down on the grass and kept crying. Men like him only cared about supreme power. Love and family were just like tools for them. He could kill anyone if necessary just for his own interests. Song Weiyi squatted with her face buried in her hands. She hates Xia Xingchen more after being treated in this way today. If she became the First Lady one day she would definitely kill her. Nine o''clock in the evening, Bai Yeqing finally finished his work and left the presidential office. Leng Fei opened the door for him. He got into the car and asked. "Did Song Guoyao handle the stuff?" "Yes. He handled it well." Bai Yeqing didn''t say anything more. He looked at his watch. It would be about 10 when he got back home. She might have slept already. He thought he could go home early today but the domestic and international stuff kept him busy all day. He pressed his forehead and closed his eyes, trying to have some rest in the car. He slept at one and got to his office at seven. And the six hours was the best sleep he had in these days.

He was alert and sharp so that he woke up immediately when the car stopped. Losing his top button he got out of the car. After telling Leng Fei to go back, he went into the house. Brightly lit, the butler and servants stood in line to wee him back. He looked up and asked. "Did Miss. Xia go to bed?" "She slept early." "How''s she today?" "She didn''te downstairs. Her friend came to visit her. She looked much better. Maybe she''ll be alright soon." Bai Yeqing nodded slightly like he also felt better. He passed her room and opened the door. But he didn''t walk into the room. Taking a shower was the first thing to do now. Getting changed, he went into her room. Apparently the experiencest time was still a nightmare to her. She never had the habit of sleeping with the light on but now she slept with a night light. Bai Yeqing walked closer to her. She kept frowning even if she''s sleeping. Her hands clenched the quilt firmly and the quilt was wet with her sweat. He looked at her carefully, finding her hands were shivering. Apparently¡­ She''s enduring the nightmare. "Xingchen?" "Xia Xingchen!" The voice. The familiar voice. Xia Xingchen opened her eyes immediately, only to see Bai Yeqing''s perfect face in front of her. She was kind of shocked, not knowing it was a dream or not. "Nightmare?" He asked her, lying on his side as usual. He leaned on the headboard and stretched over his arm gently. She was pulled into his arms before she knew what was happening. The familiar scent and his steady heartbeat assured her from her awful dream. She didn''t struggle to escape from him. She wanted this tost forever. The warmth made her feel at ease. She could put everything aside at this moment. She didn''t want to think about that anymore. "What time is it?" She asked. "About eleven." Xia Xingchen looked up to see him. He''s leaning on the headboard, looking at her gently. She could find the fatigue deep in his eyes. "Are you tired?" Xia Xingchen didn''t want to get out of his hug but she didn''t want him to be exhausted. She moved a bit. "Go back to sleep. I''m fine now." Bai Yeqing sighed. He moved but didn''t leave. He justid down on the bed right next to her. Surprisenext second she was pulled into his hug again. Her head was on his chest. "Bai Yeqing." She whispered. "Shhhh¡­. just sleep." He told her. His voice was filled with fatigue. Xia Xingchen didn''t move, leaning on his chest. His hand went from her shoulder to her earlobe. His thumb and forefinger pinched her soft earlobe gently. Xia Xingchen could hear her heartbeat getting faster. Now she couldn''t sleep at all. But she didn''t dare to move or talk to him. She thought he''s about to fall asleep soon. "From now on, take the chauffeur''s car." Bai Yeqing suddenly spoke to her when she thought he was asleep. Something hit her heart. She wanted to say something but finally, she held it back. Actually, she had no idea how long she could be here. "No one will attack you for a while. Don''t be afraid." He told her. "Right?" "Yeah. I know." Xia Xingchen replied. "Was that¡­ Song Weiyi?" "¡­¡­Yes." There was a silence for a few moments. Bai Yeqing didn''t say anything and his hand stopped on her ear. After a while, Xia Xingchen took her eyes back from the light. She finally had the courage to ask him the question. "What''s the date of engagement?" Her voice was low and her hand was turning cold. She waited and waited. He didn''t answer. She lifted her head, finding he had already closed his eyes. She sighed with a bitter smile, covering him with the quilt. She looked at him with her heart jumping and sinking. Now he moved his body and his chin touched the top of her hair. She was shocked and subconsciously put her hand on his shoulder. She could hear him saying. "Just sleep." She didn''t move for a while in his arms. So¡­did he hears the question? Or¡­he heard it but didn''t want to give an answer? The night passed. Xia Xingchen got up early for that she had slept too much yesterday. She went to turn off the light secretly and shut the curtains to keep the sunlight outside for him to sleep better. She looked at him and went downstairs for breakfast. When she finished eating and went out of the dining room, she found Leng Fei had arrived. "Miss.Xia." Leng Fei greeted her. "Do you feel better now?" "Yeah. I''m alright." "He had dealt with the problem. Don''t be afraid." "Thanks." Xia Xingchen said. Leng Fei looked up, asking. "Did he wake up?" The butler went upstairs and found out that he¡¯s not in his own room and the bed looked like it hadn''t been slept in. So he''s definitely in her roomst night. Xia Xingchen nodded. "He didn''t sleep well those days so I closed the curtain for him. Should I wake him up?" Leng Fei looked at the watch. "There''s an important video meeting after 20 minutes. We''ll do it in the reading room." "Sure. I''m gonna wake him up." "Thanks, Miss.Xia." Leng Fei nodded. Bai Yeqing was sleeping pretty well when she walked in. He had gotten very dark shadows under his eyes. She worried about him but she had to wake him up. She tapped on his shoulder slightly. He frowned and woke up.
Wee to our discord to get update notifications: https://discord.gg/dYphGtd Chapter 109 Trantor: Sweet Bun Proofreader: Mcsy He always kept himself alert. So he woke up in no time when she tapped him, frowning. He looked exactly like a lion with a temper, which could burst out at any time. It was the first time Xia Xingchen saw him like that. She''s kind of shocked and worried about him going to be mad. When he lifted his head and noticed that it was her, hezily went back to sleep with his arm under his head. "What time is it now?" "8:10." Xia Xingchen picked up the remote and asked him. "Shall I open the window?" "Yep." He said. The curtains rolled up with strong sunlighting into the room. It took a while for him to open his eyes in the light. "When did you get up?" Bai Yeqing sat up in bed. "I had woken up for a while." Xia Xingchen said. "Went back to prepare. Leng Fei has been waiting for a while. He wants me to tell you that there''s an important meeting that you must attend in 20 minutes." Bai Yeqing picked up his watch on the nightstand and wore it. "You look better today." He looked at her. "Yeah, I slept for almost a whole day yesterday. Bai Yeqing got out of his bed and walked out. Xia Xingchen was standing over there and when he passed her, he picked up her hand naturally. "Huh?" She felt confused but she could only follow him. His long legs made it hard for her to catch up. "What are you doing?" She asked. Now she followed him out of her bedroom. Servants were waiting in the corridor respectfully. Xia Xingchen was afraid that others might misunderstand their rtionship. She blushed and tried to get rid of his hand subconsciously. Bai Yeqing won''t let her go but held her hand more tightly and he just pulled her into his bedroom. "What do you want?" Standing right at the door, she was confused. "Why are you looking at me this way? What do you think?" No answer. He threw a question back to her and looked deeply into her eyes. He just sobered up from the whole night''s sleep. His robe seemed generous with showing off his pecs. Xia Xingchen could feel her heartbeat. She stepped back and leaned on the door with her hand holding the doorknob. She tried to keep some distance from him. Bai Yeqing said nothing. He pointed out his changing room with his chin. "I''m going to wash up now. Can you help me choose a suit for the meeting?" Then he turned around and stepped into the bathroom. Xia Xingchen felt rxed without the pressure from him. "Don''t you have any servants?" He usually had someone to do that. "The tie you gave me will do." His voice came from the bathroom. That did surprise her. He had tons of clothes. He seldom used a handkerchief twice, not to mention a tie. But she noticed he had been wearing the same tie for a couple of days. Before when he''s in Switzend he''s been wearing it. She even thought he forgot to bring other ties with him. "This tie was sold out now." Xia Xingchen walked to the changing room. "How so?" "Don''t you spend any time online?" "I don''t even have time to sleep. I use the inte for checking some documents." He answered her question while shaving. His stiff beard needs a special razor. "You have always been the fashion icon of the young people. This tie got too much attention recently. People start to search for the brand and then all ties of this brand were sold out in a week." Xia Xingchen answered him. "Really?" Bai Yeqing was surprised. Xia Xingchen came out with his suit and looked at him. "Do you like it that much?" Bai Yeqing thought for a while and gave her a look full of meaning. "Yeah. You can tie it around your neck and also on your hands. I love multifunctional stuff." Xia Xingchen''s face suddenly went red. She just can''t talk to this man. If she didn''t get him the tie but a shirt, everything would be okay then. "Your clothes are here. If there''s nothing else I''ll just go out." She dropped his clothes on the bed. She chose deep color for the important conference. Actually most of his clothes were dark color. Bai Yeqing came out of the bathroom. "Xingchen." His voice made her heart jump. She stopped and turned around. Her soft clear eyes met his deep hazel eyes. He became more serious. "Song Weiyi won''t do this to you again in a short time. But we can''t make sure she will leave you alone. So¡­" He paused. "So if you don''t want the kid to worry about you too much, just move back." Xia Xingchen was about to ask him the question he refused to answerst night. But the question failed toe out of her mouth. "I''ll think about it. And¡­ thank you for saving me that day." They both chose to forget about the deal between them. ¡­¡­ She said she would think about it but the result came out just the same as before. Xia Xingchen didn''t go back to the presidential residence after work on Monday. She ate at Chi Weiyang''s home that night. Xia Xingchen knew she''s not in a good mood recently. There probably was something to do with Fu Yichen. But the rtionship was at least a private problem. Xia Xingchen couldn''t ask too much if Chi Weiyang didn''t want to say. In the evening she went back to her apartment and made a phone call with Xia Dabai. He was upset that she didn''te back. They talked tillte at night. But Bai Yeqing didn''t call her or showed up in a week. Xia Dabai was not grounded by him. The chauffeur sent him to her on Tuesday after ss. Although the kid could give herpany, she still felt odd and empty. The feeling of loss. In the evening, lying on the bed, she always thought about the warm hug. But¡­ But she knew that''s something that didn''t belong to her. She knew exactly that her greed would destroy her one day. Xia Dabai came to her apartment again on Friday. He didn''t have ss on the weekend so Xia Xingchen took him to the night market. The night markets there were famous throughout the nation. Locals and visitors loved to hang around there. There were tons of people there on Friday nights. Xia Dabai loved this kind of lively atmosphere. Fun in leaps, and fun in bounds.

Fun in leaps, and fun in bounds. "Dabai, stay with me. Hold my hand." Xia Dabai came to her and put his little soft hand in hers. "Dabao, can we bring Little Bai here next time? Little Bai must have never been to this kind of market before." He asked joyfully with his head up. A hint of sadness jumped into her eyes. Watching the crowds around them, she shook her head. "I don''t think it''s proper for him toe here." He must have been busy recently. She had no idea what he''s up to because his schedule hadn''t been on the news for a while. If she didn''t have the kid, she might always think knowing each other and the whole thing happened to them was just a dream. And now it''s time to wake up so he disappeared from her life as he had never shown up before. "Yep. If daddyes here, people would crowd around him, right? That''s a huge problem for uncle Leng Fei." Xia Dabai''s voice brought her back from her own twisting mindset. Xia Xingchen smiled at him. There were more people in the night market, so she lifted the kid. Xia Dabai''s arm was wrapped around her neck. "Dabao, can I use your phone?" "What for?" "I want to face time with Little Bai." "You mean now?" Xia Xingchen looked around. "There are lots of people here. It''s not a good idea." "I want him to see the people." Xia Dabai said. "He has never been to such a fun ce. Isn''t it pathetic? We can show him so he would feel like he''s here. " Xia Xingchen passed her phone to him. Xia Dabai directly FaceTimed him. Hearing the beep sound, Xia Xingchen started to get anxious. She didn''t contact him for a couple of days. Would they be strangers now? She had no idea about it. "Yes?" Bai Yeqing''s voice came from her phone. One word could make her heart fly away. Subconsciously she lifted her head and looked into the screen, which has his face on it now. He saw her, too. Their eyes met and they shared a fleeting moment. Xia Xingchen came out of her trance and said. "Dabai called you." She handed the phone to the kid. "Here you go." Then she tried to avoid looking into the screen again. She used all her energy to pretend to be interested in the night market. But somehow she could even feel someone was staring at her through the screen. The voice of joy rang in her ears. "Look, Little Bai! This is awesome." "Sure." His voice was calm and cool as usual. But nothing could ruin Xia Dabai''s passion. He kept introducing the night market to him. "The food here is the best. And the tanghulu, do you want to try it?" "No! Why did your mom allow you to eat this kind of thing? Didn''t you learn a lesson from the hospitalst time?" Xia Dabai had some temper now. "Little Bai, why do you have to ruin everything? I am a growing child and I need more food for more energy!" "Not this kind of energy! Give the phone to your mom!" Xia Xingchen knew she had to face him. His tone taught her that she''s in trouble now. She knew Dabai had a weak stomach but she just couldn''t say no to him, especially when he looked at her with his watery big eyes. She''s not heartless like Bai Yeqing. He always thought junk foods were toxic. And even crying wouldn''t change Bai Yeqing''s mind. She was about to take her phone but Xia Dabai didn''t give them a chance to talk. "Little Bai, Dabao is busy now! She can''t talk to you. I have to go now. We are going to the drive-in cinema. Go to work now! We love you!" He hung up the phone before getting any answer. His face on the screen stopped for a second and then disappeared. Xia Dabai won''t give him the opportunity to destroy the snack time! Xia Xingchen''s hand reaching out for the phone froze in the air. Sadness showed up in her eyes as the screen went nk. Xia Dabai suddenly realized what was happening. He asked. "Dabao, should I ¡­ should I call him again?" "No, I''m good." Xia Xingchen shook her head and took her phone. "Thank god you hung up. You saved me so many troubles." Xia Dabai grinned. "You wanna thank me? Can I have some grilled squid, please?" "¡­no. I can''t be too soft on you." "Just one." "No way. If anything wrong happens to you, your father won''t let me see you again." Xia Dabai was about to cry with his watery eyes. He shouldn''t have FaceTimed dad! He ruined everything! ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Xia Dabai begged Xia Xingchen to take him to the drive-in cinema. She didn''t have a car so she decided to rent one beside the cinema. There''s not a lot of cars around on the parking lot. The movie was Transformers 4, which Xia Xingchen had watched before and she wasn''t a big fan. So all she wanted to do was to watch her son and eating chips. But the movie was so much fun for him. Xia Dabai even danced around. Seeing himughing, Xia Xingchen could not help smiling at him. She thought there was much more fun watching her son rather than the movie. If Bai Yeqing didn''t put a ban on his freedom, if he could allow Xia Dabaie to stay with her whenever he wanted, there''s no need to beg him or try to make Dabai stay right beside her. Everything was fine now. Staring at a random point in the air, she filled her head with foolish notions. Then she got sleepy. Then car behind them threw a long and strong ray of light on the rear-view mirror when she was about to fall asleep. She tried to block the light with her hand. She could barely see. The movie had started for a while. How could the car get in? And there was more than one car driving in now. She was confused but didn''t keep thinking about it. The strong light blocked her sight and soon she lost curiosity. "Dabao, are you going to take a nap?" Xia Dabai got close to her. "Yeah, a little bit¡­" "You could take a nap in the back seat. I will wake you up when the movie ends." Xia Xingchen touched his cheek softly. "Will you feel disappointed if I''m not here with you?" "Not at all. I''m good. Go ahead." Xia Dabai touched her cheek like he was babysitting her. Xia Xingchen felt a spreading warmth through her heart.

Xia Dabai touched her cheek like he was babysitting her. Xia Xingchen felt a spreading warmth through her heart. She''s been having trouble sleepingtely. Lying on the bed, she always couldn''t help thinking of someone and the night in his arms. At that time she was terrified but he made her calm down and rxed. Xia Xingchen sat in the back seat andy down. Suddenly someone opened the door before she closed her eyes. She was shocked and looked up. Then she froze when she saw his face. The wind was strong outside. He wore a gray coat and stood in the wind with the skirt of his coat dancing upside and down, charming and mysterious as the prince of the night. The strong lights before were turned off now and his perfect face hid in the darkness of the night. The screen faintly painted his face. Both of them could feel the weight of the silence. He bent over her and she looked up to him. Their eyes met and everything around them started to fade away. The only thing left was the light on the two of them. They hadn''t seen each other for a couple of days and it felt like in another life. So¡­ So the cars driving in just now were following him? Xia Xingchen came back to earth and sat straight but Bai Yeqing got in the car. The room inside was just enough for her and their son. Now the car got cramped and stuffy. The kid was enjoying the movie right in front of her and he had no idea that there''s one more person in the car now. Xia Xingchen tried to concentrate on the movie but failed several times. Everything around her kept rming her that he''s there. She just can''t ignore him. She breathed his smell. His existence disturbed her thoughts. Some people were born with magic. They don''t need to do anything to get your attention. Just sitting around quietly was a deadly temptation. "Why did youe here?" She couldn''t bear the silence anymore. Someone needed to break the ice in the car so she spoke first. But Bai Yeqing concentrated on the movie, which he apparently hadn''t watched before. There was almost no time for him to watch movies in his life. Slightly he turned his face to her and finally came out the answer. "I worry about him." Xia Xingchen didn''t say anything else to him. She could understand. Last time he was frightened by their child''s illness so he came to guarantee everything was okay. "Don''t let him eat whatever he wants." Bai Yeqing added. She nodded. They both started to focus on the movie. Silence reigned again in the car. They didn''t talk to each other but Xia Xingchen just couldn''t concentrate on the movie. When she looked at him again she found the man sitting beside her fell asleep. It seemed that not only she felt couldn''t sleep welltely. He did, too. There wasn''t enough time for him to sleep. Now Xia Xingchen dared to gazed upon him as she wanted. It''s getting cold now, especially at night. The car was too old to keep out the cold air. Sleeping here basically meant getting ill. Xia Xingchen took off her coat and covered it on him. But when the coat touched him¡­ "Put it on." His voice waszy and light. But it''s still an order. He opened his eyes. There''s still a hint of tiredness in his eyes but he''s wide awake now. Xia Xingchen never thought that he could easily wake up "You take it. I''m okay." In the dim light, she could see the twinkle in his eyes. In his entire life, he never met a woman who took off her own coat to keep him from getting ill. It''s an odd but warm feeling to be taken care of. Women were not an interesting topic for him. From his childhood, he was taught to fight for the position. He used all his strength to get here. Politics and national affairs were the eternal upations and that made women a burden for him. But this woman right here made him feel different. He suddenly reached out his arm around her shoulder and enveloped her in his arms before she realized what''s happening. The coat she just took off came back to her again. He put his arms around her and held her tightly. She could hear him saying. "This way we can both keep warm." Xia Xingchen smiled and leaned on his chest. The warmth got into her heart and kept spreading through her body. A breeze rippled the surface of theke in her heart. Bai Yeqing closed his eyes for sleep. The soft body in his arms soothed his mind. She had no sign of sleepiness so she started to watch the movie and got interested. Any slight movement would wake him up immediately. Xia Xingchen even tried to keep her breath silent to keep him sleeping. When the movie was over and Xia Dabai turned to talk about the movie with her, her muscles were aching with tiredness. "Shh!" Xia Dabai almost let out a yelp and leaped from the seat. Using his little hands to cover his mouth, he looked them with wonders in his eyes. "¡­¡­when did daddye?" Xia Dabai mouthed at her. He didn''t know his existence at all. "Just now." Xia Xingchen answered. Xia Dabai kneeled on the seat with his hands holding the back support, smiled and looked at them. "Dabao, you finally surrendered to him! But he''s not so good at chasing girls! You shouldn''t say yes too soon!" "We didn''t¡­." Xia Xingchen felt like this little boy would never get tired of joking about them. She moved a bit, trying to get rid of his arms. But suddenly they heard his low and sleepy voice. "Xia Dabai, you are annoying." He was awake. He stared his son right in the face. This annoying boy knew nothing better than turning his father down. He must be sent by the gods to punish his own father! Xia Xingchen guessed Dabai ruined Bai Yeqing''s sleep so no wonder he''s in a bad mood. Fixing her clothes and hair, she checked the time and said. "It''ste now. We need to go back."

Fixing her clothes and hair, she checked the time and said. "It''ste now. We need to go back." "Little Bai! I won''t go with you tonight! I don''t have ss tomorrow. I promised Dabao I will stay with her! My teacher told me people need to keep their word! I can''t turn her down!" The little boy was a chatterbox. Really annoying. Bai Yeqing didn''t answer him with yes or no. He opened the door and only gave him a two-word reply. "Get out." Xia Dabai had no idea what he meant. He looked up to Xia Xingchen, who had no idea, either. "Get out first." Xia Xingchen opened the door. "Dabao, if daddy asks me to go back, please help me! Use your power!" Xia Dabai begged her. "What power?" "Tears." The kid pointed his eyes. "Last time you got injured and cried, Little Bai worried about you like it almost killed him! He worried about you more than I did." "¡­really?" Xia Xingchen felt warm in her heart and her eyes started to focus on the man in front of them. She still remembered that night he showed up to save her. He somehow felt someone was looking at him so he turned around and waited for them. Xia Xingchen smiled at the kid. "I will give it a try." ¡­¡­¡­¡­ Their chauffeur sent them to her apartment. In case Bai Yeqing really asked him to go back, Xia Dabai pretended to sleep when he got in the car. But somehow he really fell asleep. "Give him to me." The car arrived in her neighborhood. Bai Yeqing took the kid in his arms when Xia XIngchen wanted to lift him. "Is your arm alright now?" Bai Yeqing asked her while they were walking to the elevator. "It hurts sometimes." "So why do you always hold him in your arms?" He frowned. "Let him walk more. He''s getting heavy." Xia Xingchen rubbed her elbow and smiled. His care was so much of his style. So bossy and nothing to do with gentleness and soft. She nodded. "Okay. I know. He still wants me to hug him every now and then. When he grows up he will never let me hold him in my arms." Then her tone was getting a little sad. She straightened his coat in case he felt cold. Bai Yeqing secretly stared at her. He noticed her fair skin and freshplexion. They walked together into the elevator and a light shone down from above. Her skin was almost transparent. "He''s got to grow up though, especially boys. Don''t worry about it." He said to her in a low voice. Xia Xingchen smiled at him and pressed the button. "When he grows up he will live his own life. I should live my own life, too." Hearing this, Bai Yeqing questioned her with his deeper eyes. "What kind of life do you like?" Xia Xingchen didn''t give him an answer. What kind of life did she want to live? Xia Dabai was her whole life before. She never gave it a thought about her own future. All she cared about was the little boy. But now Bai Yeqing showed up¡­ She didn''t have to worry about the kid anymore. There''s an opening in her life and also it was the biggest part. "I''m not sure. I''ll think about it when he''s older. " When she talked, her voice was low. The light casted a faint shadow under her long eyshes. Bai Yeqing felt a strong desire to protect the woman right beside him. He reached out the free hand to hold hers. Xia Xingchen was surprised but she didn''t get rid of it. Their slender and long fingers entwined. He held her hand tightly and that soothed her mind. This man had a special power that she could not refuse. She knew exactly that there''s an incredible abyss waiting for her but she couldn''t help moving towards him. ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ He finally let her hand go when she''s about to find the key and opened the door. Xia Xingchen felt her hand was kind of inflexible but so warm. The night market and the movie did exhaust Xia Dabai. He didn''t even open his eyes when Xia Xingchen carried him into the bathroom to wash his hands and feet. All he''s doing was hanging on her neck and mumbling. Then she took him to his bed. After everything was settled, Xia Xingchen turned off the light in his bedroom and walked out. She guessed Bai Yeqing had already left, just likest time. But¡­ To her surprise, he''s still here. He put his coat on the sofa and only wore a clean shirt, standing in front of the bookshelf. The books and photos were ced on the shelf. Old photos though. He studied every single one of the old photos. Xia Xingchen checked the time. It''s already 10. She didn''t know if she should ask him to go back now. He seemed to feel what she''s going to say. "I haven''t had dinner yet. Is there anything to eat?" That surprised Xia Xingchen. "Why didn''t you have your dinner? It''s toote now." She couldn''t ask this poor man to leave. "What a busy day. I had a meeting for hours and after that I just had no appetite." He took one of the photos while he was talking. She remembered that one. She took that picture when she''s 12. At that time her parents had already divorced because of Li Lingyi for a couple of years. So it''s a rare chance for both of her parents to be with her. They took the photo together in the park. She still remembered the bright and blooming lotuses that year. Her family stood beside the pond to take this photo. After that, her mother moved to her hometown and married again. Since then she had never reunited with her family. Xia Xingchen felt sorrow thinking about it. She tried to change the topic in her mind. "So what would you like to eat? I can cook for you now. It won''t take long." Xia Dabai had a huge appetite tonight so there''s basically nothing left. "Never mind. It''s Okay." He answered in a casual way but she started to worry about him. It seemed that he''s always too busy to eat.
