He was always very alert, and when she tapped him, he woke up with a frown on his face. He looked like a lion with a temper when he just woke up, and was extremely impatient. This was the first time Xia Xingchen had seen him like this, and she was a little confused, and was quite worried that he would be in a bad mood when he woke up.
But when he looked up and saw that it was her, he relaxed and lay back lazily, with one hand behind his head. He asked, "What time is it?"
"Eight ten." Xia Xingchen took the remote control and asked for his opinion, "Did I open the window?"
He uttered a "hmm" and the curtains slowly opened. Strong light shone in through the slits, and he squinted lazily, and it took him a while to adjust to the light.
"When did you get up?" Bai Yeqing supported himself on the bed with one hand and managed to sit up.
"It's been a while." Xia Xingchen said, "Go back to your room and wash up. Leng Fei has been waiting for a while. He asked me to come up and tell you that there is a very important meeting in 20 minutes and you can't delay it."
Bai Yeqing bent over and took his watch from the bedside to check the time. He put it on his wrist slowly while looking her up and down. "You seem to have recovered quite well."
"Yeah, I slept all day yesterday."
Bai Yeqing threw back the quilt and got out of bed. Xia Xingchen was standing there waiting. He walked out the door with heavy steps. When he passed by her, he took her hand casually and naturally, and walked out.
"Hmm?" She followed him suspiciously. He had long legs and took big steps. Xia Xingchen followed slowly behind him and could only see his back.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
At this moment, she had followed him out of her bedroom. The servants passing by in the corridor greeted them respectfully when they saw them. Xia Xingchen blushed and struggled subconsciously, fearing that others would misunderstand their relationship. Bai Yeqing didn't expect her to let go, but instead tightened his grip and dragged her directly into his room.
"What do you want to do?" Xia Xingchen stood at the door, looking up at him in confusion.
"What do you think I want to do by looking at me like that?" He did not answer, but asked instead, his eyes staring at her mysteriously. He had just woken up after a night's sleep, and his nightgown was messy, slightly open, revealing his sexy chest muscles.
Xia Xingchen's heartbeat suddenly became chaotic, and he subconsciously took a step back, leaned against the door panel, and held the door handle tightly. He almost instinctively kept a distance from him.
Bai Yeqing didn't say anything in the end. He pointed to his dressing room with his chin and said, "I'm going to go wash up. Please pack a set of clothes for me to wear for the meeting later."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and went to the bathroom. The strong sense of oppression from the man faded away, and Xia Xingchen also relaxed a lot. He asked him, "Don't you have a servant?"
Usually these things are done by dedicated people.
"Still wear the tie you picked out before." Bai Yeqing's voice came from the bathroom.
Xia Xingchen was quite surprised when he heard this.
He had a room full of clothes. He rarely wore the same tie or even the same scarf more than once before. But she noticed that he had been wearing this tie for several days in a row. She had noticed it on the news before. He had been wearing this tie all the time when he was in Switzerland. She once wondered if he had forgotten to wear his tie when he went out.
"This tie is no longer available in the country." Xia Xingchen said to him as they walked towards the locker room.
"how?"
"You haven't been online lately?"
"I don't even have enough time to sleep, and I only go online to look at important documents occasionally." He was shaving in front of the mirror, and took the time to reply to her briefly. His beard was very hard, and he had to use a professional razor to manually trim it cleanly.
Xia Xingchen's voice came from the locker room, "You have always been a fashion benchmark for young people today. This tie has been seen so often recently that it has been worn by so many people online. In just one week, all the ties of this brand have been sold out."
"Really?" Bai Yeqing replied vaguely.
Xia Xingchen came out holding the clothes, stood in the room, and looked at him, "Do you like it very much?"
Bai Yeqing paused for a moment and gave her a meaningful look. "In addition to being able to be tied around the neck, it can also be tied around the hand. The thing you picked has so many functions, so I will naturally use it more."
Xia Xingchen's face turned red all of a sudden. This man is so frivolous! She really regretted that she shouldn't have picked a tie for him. If she had just bought him a shirt, it would have been much easier.
"I'll put my clothes here. I'll be out if I'm fine."
She put the clothes neatly on the bed. Because it was an important meeting, she picked plain and calm clothes for him. But in fact, most of his clothes were calm.
Bai Yeqing came out of the bathroom and called her, "Xingchen."
Those two words made Xia Xingchen's heart slightly shaken, and she almost stopped immediately. She turned around slowly and looked at him with clear eyes. His eyes darkened a little, and his expression changed from the frivolous look just now. "After this time, Song Weiyi will not dare to do such a thing again. But I can't guarantee that she won't do anything else. So..."
He paused for a moment and said, "If you don't want your children to worry too much, move back."
Her lips moved, and Xia Xingchen wanted to ask him the question he hadn't answered last night. However, the words didn't come out of her mouth. She only whispered, "I'll think about it. And... thank you for saving me that day."
Neither of them mentioned the transaction that day again.
… … …
Actually, it is said to be a consideration, but the result of Xia Xingchen's consideration is still the same as before.
On Monday, after get off work, Xia Xingchen did not return to the Presidential Palace. In the evening, she had dinner at Chi Weiyang's house. Chi Weiyang was not in a good mood recently. She could see that it was probably related to Fu Yichen, but feelings are always a matter between two people, so she couldn't ask too much.
At night, she returned to her little house, lay on the bed and called Xia Dabai. Xia Dabai hummed unhappily on the bed for a long time, and it was late at night before he finally hung up the phone reluctantly.
However, after that day, for more than a week, Bai Yeqing did not call her or appear in front of her.
Xia Dabai was not really grounded by him. After class on Tuesday, he was sent to her by the driver. Although she had a child, she often felt empty in her heart, as if a piece was missing.
At night, when I lie in bed, I always miss that warm embrace. Unfortunately…
All that did not belong to her. Her greed would only lead to her falling badly one day.
Xia Dabai came again on Friday. Since he didn't have to go to class the next day, Xia Xingchen took him out to the night market.
The night market in this area is well-known throughout the country. In addition to locals, there are also tourists who come here for the sake of fame. It was Friday, so there were a lot of people.
Xia Dabai likes this kind of atmosphere the most. When he comes out, he feels like he is having a good time, jumping around happily.
