It was not until now that Xia Xingchen understood why he chose her to bear his child.
If you want to find someone who matches her conditions, there are probably only a few in the world. But—
"Even so, you shouldn't have chosen to drug me and force me to give birth to a child for you." Xia Xingchen slowly put down the spoon in his hand and looked at him, "You know that your actions are very selfish. My life was completely disrupted in an instant because of your sudden intrusion..."
When she mentioned this, her tone was somewhat gloomy, somewhat tough, and somewhat resentful.
This was the first time she had talked to him about the past.
Bai Yeqing looked at her deeply with complicated eyes, "At that time, the person who helped me with this matter was one of my former subordinates. He told me clearly that he had talked to your mother and reached a consensus. He did give your mother a large sum of money. As for the drug you were given, it was not done by our people. I originally thought... you didn't want to be too sober." After all, selling one's body for money is a humiliating thing for an 18-year-old child.
After Bai Yeqing finished speaking, Xia Xingchen was stunned for a long time. Her hands, placed on the table, clenched a little. It was the first time she heard these things, and she was shocked and felt that they were absurd and ridiculous.
"My mother?" After a while, she sneered, "My mother you are talking about is Li Lingyi?"
Bai Yeqing pursed his lips and said, "It was only when I heard you talking about your mother and how you haven't seen her for many years that I realized... it turned out that the person we were talking about was Li Lingyi. This matter was our negligence."
"I'm really stupid. Why didn't I think of these? If Li Lingyi hadn't been protecting me at home, how could I have been taken away for several nights without anyone noticing? If it wasn't for her, who would have had the chance and dared to drug me?" She seemed to be talking to him, but more like mumbling to herself. When the wind blew, the sound was scattered in the dark night. She looked like she had suffered a strong blow, and her face became even paler.
She suddenly felt very sad. She felt very miserable. Although she had resented Li Lingyi for so many years, she never knew that man could be so bad. So bad that he secretly sold her out!
After so many years, she could still feel at ease! She could still scold her and Xia Dabai with such a clear conscience!
"I think I need to calm down." She didn't look at him, got up and walked into the house. If Li Lingyi was in front of her now, she would slap her twice without hesitation!
When she passed by Bai Yeqing, he didn't look at her. He just raised his hand and pulled her back, making her sit on his lap.
"Let go!" Xia Xingchen's emotions were a little out of control. She struggled desperately, but couldn't get free. Her eyes suddenly turned red. She felt very uncomfortable. She was sold out by Li Lingyi without knowing it, and ended up being condemned by thousands of people! But she could pretend to be clueless throughout the whole process with a clear conscience! Not only did she occupy her mother's position, but she also occupied her father's position!
It turns out that Xia Xingkong is such a good actor because he learned it from Li Lingyi!
"Bai Yeqing, let me go! You and Li Lingyi are in cahoots!" Xia Xingchen had no place to vent his anger, so he was confused and made random accusations.
Her voice was choked with sobs. She was shackled by him and couldn't move. She was so angry that she clenched her fists and hit him. She was weak today and didn't have much strength in her hands. Bai Yeqing hugged her tightly. She was tired in the end, resting her head on his shoulder, tears just flowing silently. She just wanted to rush back and question Li Lingyi.
He could clearly feel the grievance and sadness in her heart. Bai Yeqing frowned, his chest ached, and he rubbed her twitching back with his big hand. After a long time, his lips moved and he uttered a few words in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, I should apologize to you solemnly for this matter..."
Since he was not directly involved in that matter, he must not have known the relationship between them. If he knew that everything was not her own will, he would not...
Xia Xingchen choked up and murmured, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be a single mother... Dabai wouldn't be called a 'bastard'... And, I'm now... maybe I'm already talking about marriage with Xu Yan..."
Even if it's not Xu Yan, there will be other men.
When Bai Yeqing heard the last sentence, his face turned as cold as ice. "Do you really want to talk about marriage with Xu Yan?"
"If I could go back to the past, of course. What's wrong with a peaceful and simple life?"
Bai Yeqing's eyebrows jumped, and he grabbed her chin and lifted her tearful face, "You want to discuss marriage with him, have you asked for my opinion? Did I agree?!"
He was as domineering as ever! But did he know that such domineering behavior would only make her have wild thoughts and make her fall deeper and deeper? !
Xia Xingchen looked at him and suddenly smiled, but that smile was bitter, sour, and astringent. "Are you kidding, Mr. President? Why should I ask for your opinion? Why should I get your consent? Did you ask for my opinion when you were engaged to Song Weiyi?!"
She was so excited that she blurted out everything she wanted to say.
Bai Yeqing didn't expect her to say that, and was slightly startled. His brows relaxed a little, and he looked at her deeply, "Then I'll ask for your opinion now. Tell me, if I get engaged to Song Weiyi, what do you think?"
At this point, what else could she have an opinion on? Or... if she really had an opinion, what could she do? Could it be that he would not marry Song Weiyi for her sake? Xia Xingchen felt that if she said such a thing, she would be asking for trouble.
She struggled and tried to get up. Bai Yeqing pushed her back, looked at her with a serious look, and forced a kiss on her again. Xia Xingchen resisted and didn't let him kiss her. He sucked deeply on her lips, then pulled away and sighed, "Don't refuse me!"
Still so domineering.
"You're getting engaged soon, can you please stop messing with me?" Her tone was bitter and weak. The moisture in her eyes made her eyes look even clearer under the moonlight. Her red lips were slightly swollen after being kissed by him, and they looked even more tender, making people want to taste them more deeply. A cool breeze blew over, and her hair was blown up by the wind, gently fluttering, revealing a section of her snow-white neck.
She shivered slightly from the cold, Bai Yeqing grabbed the blanket behind him and wrapped her tightly, his lips pressed against hers eagerly and tenderly, not kissing, just gently pressing against hers, letting their breaths entangle in an ambiguous way. Alarm bells rang in Xia Xingchen's mind, and the bitterness in her heart grew.
She knew that this kind of atmosphere was too dangerous... so dangerous that it would easily make her surrender, lose her mind, and forget her principles.
"If I insist on provoking you and teasing you, will your slight affection for me turn into a lot of affection?"
