—In 20 days, it will be her engagement party with Mr. President. At that time, my gift will be this diamond...
For a long time, Xia Xingchen's mind was reverberating with Song Guoyao's words. She stood there in a daze, her hand holding the phone a little stiff, her fingertips slightly cold. Bai Suye raised his head slightly and looked at her, his eyes deep and meaningful.
May wanted to say something, but Xia Xingchen came back to her senses, made a slight gesture, and said nothing more.
Sitting back in the chair, seeing Song Weiyi's smug expression, he suddenly felt bored.
There is really no point in fighting for this diamond by yourself.
This was the real purpose of Song Guoyao inviting her. First, to let her understand the unreachable status between herself and the people present; second, to let her know the wedding date of Bai Yeqing and Song Weiyi.
"Are you okay?" Bai Suye turned his head to look at her.
Xia Xingchen pursed his lips, smiled, and pretended to be relaxed and said: "I'm fine, I can't really buy this diamond to match my 200 yuan curtains." Similarly, it is impossible to ridiculously ask him to make an impossible decision.
Bai Suye was a little confused, and didn't seem to understand her nonsense. However, she knew that there was no need to say anything more. Xia Xingchen was a smart person, and her mind was like a mirror. She knew the significance of this marriage and the responsibilities he carried as the president.
After that, Xia Xingchen's number was never called again. And her phone no longer received any messages from him. Her mind was no longer on this auction.
"Sister Suye, I need to go to the bathroom." When she could no longer bear the tightness in her chest, she whispered to Bai Suye and stood up leisurely. Anyway, her part was over and she would have nothing to do anymore. The deputy minister's female companion also accompanied her all the time, so it seemed that she was not needed.
As soon as she left, May received a phone call and did not stay.
… … … …
now.
In the most luxurious suite upstairs, the man sat on the terrace, looking down at everything downstairs. His vision could take in the entire scene downstairs. Of course, he did not miss what Song Guoyao said just now, and he also saw Xia Xingchen leaving.
Leng Fei on the side glanced at his expression. In the darkness of the night, his face was deep and it was really difficult to get a glimpse of his thoughts.
"Sir, what is the date of the engagement..." Leng Fei pondered for a moment and asked. At this point, he paused.
Bai Yeqing said in a deep voice: "He and I agreed on this together."
At this point, he paused slightly and glanced at Leng Fei, "Since Vice President Song is so generous in giving the Heart of Tears, should I give him a more generous gift in return?"
"Your Excellency means..." Leng Fei cast a probing glance, and then, he understood. "Don't worry, I will make good preparations."
… … … …
On the other side, Xia Xingchen had just walked out of the venue when a number of luxury cars suddenly drove over from far to near. Every gate control had no effect on those cars, and no one dared to stop them.
She subconsciously stopped and stood up straight, thinking that it was probably another powerful person. She had seen this kind of scene many times, so she was no longer curious, but she still had to greet him.
As the cars approached, Xia Xingchen immediately recognized the Aston Martin in the middle. After a closer look, it was indeed Yu Zenan who was driving. However, there was an elegant lady sitting in the passenger seat. Xia Xingchen felt vaguely familiar with her, and she must have seen her on the national TV news.
The car stopped. Yu Zenan stepped out of the car with his long legs, then turned to open the passenger door and helped the lady out of the car. He was respectful and serious, and Xia Xingchen felt that it was really rare to see him like this. It was probably because of the lady next to him.
With the help of the light outside, Xia Xingchen could see the two people clearly.
The middle-aged woman was wearing a white Chanel dress, with her hair neatly tied up behind her head. Her elegance was comparable to that of Audrey Hepburn back then. On her well-maintained face, she had a light smile that was just right. Xia Xingchen looked at her and inexplicably felt an indescribable sense of closeness.
When the two of them came closer, Xia Xingchen slightly turned aside and bowed slightly.
"Xingchen?" Yu Zenan was surprised, obviously he didn't expect her to be here. Looking at her tonight, a touch of amazement flashed across his eyes.
Xia Xingchen raised her head and said, "What a coincidence." Then she turned to greet the people around Yu Zenan politely, "Madam, good evening."
She had already recognized her! This was the famous Madam Lanting in the United Nations. However, she had not been back to China for many years. She appeared here tonight, probably because she had taken a fancy to a certain auction item here.
"Hello." Madam Lanting smiled and looked at Xia Xingchen, who looked amiable, and then glanced at the young man beside her. She did not ignore the amazement in his eyes and a hint of... a guilty glimmer. She smiled and patted the back of Yu Zenan's hand, "Why don't you introduce me to him?"
She just thought that Yu Zenan had other thoughts about girls, so she felt guilty.
Yu Zenan came back to his senses, glanced at Xia Xingchen, then at Madam Lanting, and after a pause, he said, "This is Miss Xia, Xia Xingchen. She is a translator from Country S. She is my friend. Xingchen, I don't need to introduce her. You've seen her on TV."
Xia Xingchen smiled and nodded, gently shaking the hand that Madam Lanting extended. The two looked at each other, and the other's kind eyes made Xia Xingchen feel an indescribable warmth in her heart. In the past, she had been seen on TV, with a majestic and stern look when speaking, giving people a feeling of being difficult to approach. Now that she was in contact with him, she realized that it was all just an illusion.
"Madam, it's rare for you to come back to your country. You must have a good time in our Country S." Xia Xingchen said.
"I would like to, too. Unfortunately, my schedule is too busy and I can't stay for a few days. In two days, does Miss Xia have any recommendations for fun and delicious places?"
"Since we only have two days, why don't you let Zenan accompany you to Kyoto for a walk. Kyoto and its surroundings have changed a lot now, and you will be quite surprised when you see them. As for food, I don't know what kind of taste you prefer."
"I prefer the authentic spicy flavor of Kyoto. It's hard to find the authentic Kyoto flavor in Country M now. I haven't been back for a few years, and what I miss most is the spicy flavor."
Xia Xingchen smiled, "What a coincidence, my taste is the same as yours, so I know a few places that serve authentic spicy food. How about I recommend some to you when you are free?"
Yu Zenan stood aside and watched the two of them. Their conversation was so natural and so ordinary. Both of them had smiles on their faces, as if they had known each other for a long time.
