She was startled when the words "future husband" popped up on the screen. For a moment, her heart trembled violently.
After a long while, he picked up the phone and put it to his ear.
"It took you so long to answer the phone. Are you asleep?"
Bai Yeqing's voice came from the other side, Xia Xingchen felt so far away, yet so close. They had known each other for so long, and he was often abroad, but this was the first time that he would call her overseas while he was abroad.
Probably... worried about the children at home!
She shook her head, glanced at the TV, and blurted out, "No, I'm watching the national TV news."
"News?" Bai Yeqing smiled and asked tentatively, "I remember you don't like watching the national TV news."
"..." Xia Xingchen was embarrassed, afraid of revealing what was in her heart, and hurriedly said: "I don't like to watch it, it's Dabai who wants to watch it, and I'm accompanying him."
"Really?" He exposed her mercilessly, "But the housekeeper just told me that Dabai went to bed early in the morning."
The more she explained, the more she was trying to cover up her crime. Xia Xingchen was annoyed and simply stopped talking while holding the phone. Anyway, this man always acted like he was in control of everything, and she couldn't hide anything from him.
"Go to bed early." Fortunately, he didn't tease her relentlessly. Xia Xingchen said 'hmm' and wanted to ask him what time it was, but she stopped talking. For many things, it's better to stop at a certain point, otherwise, you will become addicted.
"Then... I'm hanging up." She whispered.
"Um."
Xia Xingchen pursed her lower lip, listening to his breathing greedily. She didn't know why, but her heart felt inexplicably sour.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yeqing seemed to sense that something was wrong with her mood. She looked away from the screen and casually stopped at a certain point, whispering, "You should hang up first."
The soft whispers in the night are like a misty veil, hazy, ambiguous, and lingering.
Bai Yeqing's mood suddenly seemed to improve. He chuckled and his tone became more ambiguous, "Let's continue what happened last night when I come back."
Xia Xingchen blushed again.
"I have forgotten what happened last night. There will be no chance next time." She said, and hung up the phone without waiting for him to say anything else. For a long time, her heart was still beating wildly.
She threw the phone away, leaned back on the sofa, and looked at the words "future husband" on the screen, with a complex and indescribable emotion emerging in her heart.
Bitter yet sweet...
… … … …
The next day, Xia Xingchen went to get off work as usual. Bai Yeqing hadn't come back yet, so she stayed with Xia Dabai in the Presidential Palace. After not seeing him for a few days, Xia Dabai kept nagging about him and missed him very much. Xia Xingchen felt that she was influenced by her children, so she would stare at the national TV news whenever she had nothing to do.
In the meantime, Xia Dabai called him. He was so busy there that he could only sleep for two hours a day. Leng Fei answered the phone when Xia Dabai called. He had been busy for 36 hours straight and was catching up on his sleep.
From then on, Xia Xingchen no longer allowed Xia Dabai to call and bother him.
Because of the time difference, when he called back, they were still resting and the calls were mostly answered by the servants.
This day was the seventh day since he left the city.
Xia Xingchen had already made up her mind. When he came back, she would end this dangerous relationship with him. What happened that night, the deal that was proposed, should all be considered as never having happened. If he wanted the child, she would give it to him...
Thinking of this, she felt extremely sad as she walked out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building.
Chi Weiyang glanced at her sideways, "Why do you look so bad?"
"I don't know why, but I feel a little panicked." Xia Xingchen sighed and patted his chest. Is it because I have made up my mind to give the child to him that I feel so uncomfortable? His chest felt very stuffy, as if something was about to happen.
"You must have been scared by what happened to Dabai last time. You are so careless. With so many people in the family, you still can't take good care of him."
"I didn't pay attention." Xia Xingchen still feels scared when talking about this.
At this moment, the car arrived and Xia Xingchen gave way to Chi Weiyang and let her get on first.
She stood there waiting for a taxi, and for some reason, she started to panic again. She tried to walk forward a few steps, and suddenly, a taxi stopped beside her.
"Miss, shall we go?"
"Let's go." She nodded and got in the car without thinking too much.
She didn't notice that several digits on the taxi's license plate were blocked by something.
After sitting in the passenger seat, she noticed that the driver was wearing a mask, with only his eyes showing. Moreover, when he looked at her, his eyes were fierce and cold. She was startled and instinctively felt the danger. She subconsciously pushed the door open and got out, but after several attempts, the door would not open.
"Let me out of the car!" She panicked and banged on the car window. "Do you hear me? Open the door!"
"Don't waste your energy!" The other man smiled sinisterly, stretched out his hand, roughly grabbed her hair, and pulled her over. She gasped, and her hand grabbed randomly in the air, scratching a mark on the man's neck, and blood immediately oozed from the man's neck.
However, before she could scream, a wet towel covered her nose and mouth. The pungent smell of **** made her feel numb all over. She could still struggle a few times at first, but then her head tilted and she lost all consciousness.
Who is this person?!
… … … … …
Night, deep.
Bai Yeqing had just got off the plane when Xia Dabai called him.
"Dad, Dabao definitely doesn't want us anymore..." Xia Dabai's tone was tearful.
Bai Yeqing pressed his brows and said, "Let's talk it over nicely."
"She said she would come back today, but she hasn't come back yet so late and she won't answer the phone. But I just located her phone and the driver said it's in a very remote place."
When he was fiddling with her phone, he secretly got her location so he could check where she was whenever he wanted.
However, no one expected that this time she would run away so far away without saying a word. If she didn't want them anymore, then what could it be
Bai Yeqing's face darkened when he heard this, and he asked Xia Dabai to send him the address. When he looked at it, it was more than just a remote place. It was simply a remote place!
For some reason, an ominous premonition suddenly rose in my heart. Bai Yeqing's face was gloomier than ever before. He got in the car and directly ordered to go to that location, saying: "Now let someone check the surveillance of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I want to know what happened to Xia Xingchen immediately!"
Leng Fei was a little worried about his health. "You haven't had a good rest for three days. It's such a far place. Why don't we go find Miss Xia and you go back to rest first?"
"No need!" He gave him only two words decisively, and then added coldly: "As quickly as possible! If anything happens to her, you will all be in trouble!"
Logically speaking, she would never abandon her child and run so far away!
