After the party, the President was the first to leave.
Xia Xingchen stood on the marble steps of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and witnessed Xia Xingkong getting into Xu Yan's car like a proud peacock, under the envious gazes of the other group members.
Chi Weiyang was grinding his teeth beside him, feeling extremely angry.
Xia Xingchen just watched from afar. In fact, what was there to be upset about? It was she who broke up with Xu Yan, and she was also the one who got pregnant...
Even though I thought this way, I still felt a little empty and cold in my heart.
When we took a taxi back to the villa, it was already very dark.
It was past 11 o'clock, Xia Dabai and the servants were all asleep at this time. The huge house seemed particularly quiet.
She casually placed her bag on the sofa and quietly slipped into the kitchen.
Today was very busy, so busy that she didn't even have time to eat dinner. Xia Xingchen looked around in the kitchen. The refrigerator was full of high-quality ingredients. It would be a bit of a waste to use them to fill her stomach so late. Moreover, to be honest, she was not used to eating these things yet.
Ordinary people really can't compare with the high and mighty president!
Finally, she dug out a bag of uneaten dumplings from the far corner of the refrigerator. She and Xia Dabai had made these dumplings two days ago.
In the past, she and Xia Dabai loved dumplings the most and would make them whenever they had time. But now, these things that she used to think were so precious are probably not worthy of being put on the table in this family. Xia Xingchen lit the fire, boiled the water, and skillfully put the dumplings in. After rummaging for a long time, she found the seasonings and made the sauce.
After about 10 minutes, the dumplings were out of the pot.
"What a nice smell..." Xia Xingchen put all the dumplings in the bowl and smelled them. Suddenly, she felt even hungrier.
She didn't go to the restaurant, but hid in the kitchen and tasted one secretly. She was so hungry that she swallowed it whole. It was so hot that she jumped up and down, opened her mouth, fanned her hands, and kept muttering, "It's so hot! It's so hot!"
The next moment...
Someone who had been standing at the kitchen door for who knows how long suddenly came into her sight. She was startled and her jumping steps suddenly stopped. The next moment, half a dumpling was stuck in her throat, and she almost choked to death.
"Cough, cough, cough..." She covered her chest and coughed violently. When she raised her head after choking on half of the dumpling, her face was already red from choking. She looked at the president in front of her with some resentment, "You... why are you always so elusive?"
She had never expected him to show up here again in the middle of the night. Moreover, he had obviously returned earlier than her and was now wearing a black robe and pajamas. Hmm... very sexy. However, he was still as cold as ever, which made people feel oppressive.
Bai Yeqing glanced at her, walked heavily into the kitchen, and ignored her completely.
Xia Xingchen felt bored and kept silent, chewing dumplings carelessly, but her eyes could not help but wander around him curiously.
He just opened the refrigerator and looked around inside. Then, he seemed to find nothing that satisfied him and his brows were furrowed.
Xia Xingchen could see that President Bai was obviously the same as her, coming here in the middle of the night to look for food.
She raised her lips and asked tentatively, "Are you hungry?"
"…" He ignored me and took a dry cake from the refrigerator and started to eat it. However, it was obvious that he was picky about food. After taking a bite, he frowned and looked like he had a hard time swallowing.
Xia Xingchen thought he looked a little funny.
I never thought that President Bai, who is the emperor of the nine-five states, could be so pitiful. In the eyes of others, he should be well fed and well-drinking, right
However, she absolutely did not dare to laugh in front of him. If she made fun of the President, wouldn't she be courting death
"Do you want me to give you a few dumplings?" Xia Xingchen asked kindly again.
"No need." Bai Yeqing only gave her two words, showing no appreciation at all.
How cruel!
Xia Xingchen snorted and muttered softly: "If it weren't for what happened today, I wouldn't care about you. If you don't want to eat, forget it."
After she finished speaking, she put a dumpling in her mouth and took a big bite. While she was talking, she raised her head and exclaimed exaggeratedly: "It's so delicious! So fragrant. Well, dumplings are still more delicious than dry food."
She even made some chewing sounds on purpose.
"Haven't you learned basic etiquette?" Bai Yeqing looked cold and disdainful.
"What?"
"Who allowed you to chew your food so loudly?"
"Yes, Mr. President. It's always right for me to eat slowly." Xia Xingchen answered reluctantly, but he really chewed slowly.
There are many etiquette requirements in the Presidential Palace, especially when he is there.
Bai Yeqing glanced at her, then looked at the fragrant dumplings, frowned, and snatched the bowl from her hand.
"Hey!" Xia Xingchen called out in a low voice.
I saw him pick up the chopsticks swiftly, pick up one and put it into his mouth without saying a word.
Xia Xingchen was startled and stared at him blankly, "Mr. President, you... don't you have mysophobia?"
"It depends on my mood." When he was hungry, he could only endure it.
"But, what happened just now..." Xia Xingchen pointed at the dumpling in his mouth with her slender fingers, pursed her lips, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
He frowned, "What?"
"That one, I just bit it..." Xia Xingchen said at the end, his voice became much softer.
Bai Yeqing's face suddenly turned gloomy, and he stared at her fiercely, as if he wanted to bite her to death.
Xia Xingchen was so frightened that her legs went weak. She quickly and respectfully put her hand to his lips and whispered, "Spit here..."
She feels wronged!
Obviously she didn't force him to eat it! And... even if he ate something she had eaten, he didn't have to look like he was killing someone, right? She wasn't poisonous!
His thin lips moved, and Bai Yeqing really wanted to spit out the dumplings she had eaten in his mouth.
But…
When I lowered my eyes, her aggrieved and resentful little face was right in front of me.
The two of them were very close, and her soft palm was right under his nose, and he could smell a faint fragrance. It was light and elegant, like the scent of lime, and very pleasant.
Bai Yeqing couldn't help but think of those nights five years ago. At that time, she was as fragrant as she is now...
She was young and shy, and allowed him to pursue her.
He picked her out of all the photos of other girls. He thought that it was just a few nights of romance and he should forget it after that.
But, until now, he still clearly remembered the scent of her body... In fact, it was hard to forget...
"Mr. President?" Xia Xingchen called him without waiting for his response.
He withdrew his mind, his eyes darkened. He looked at her, and the next moment, instead of spitting out the dumplings, he choked them all down.
Forehead
Xia Xingchen was stunned. Then, as if realizing something, her face suddenly turned a faint pink.
He... actually swallowed it
So, between them, this... isn't considered an indirect kiss
