The next morning, at just after 6 o'clock, when it was still dark outside, Xia Xingchen woke up. Dabai was still asleep. Xia Xingchen pulled the quilt that he had kicked almost under the bed and quietly left the children's room. Fortunately, the room had always maintained a constant temperature of more than 20 degrees, neither too cold nor too hot, otherwise he would have caught a cold long ago.
"Miss Xia, the President wants you to come over." She had just left the children's room when the servant came to call her.
"Is there something wrong?" Xia Xingchen asked.
"Mr. President didn't say that."
Xia Xingchen nodded and walked towards his room. Bai Yeqing was buttoning his shirt, and when he saw her come in, he stopped and said, "Come here."
She walked over as he said, and he naturally extended his hand to her. She also naturally buttoned his cuffs for him. Bai Yeqing was a little absent-minded as he watched her fingers dancing on the dazzling diamond buttons. Her movements were skillful and light. When she lowered her head, the hair on her temples would slide down to her cheeks, and he subconsciously helped her hook it behind her ears. His fingers brushed against her skin, and his fingertips were full of delicate touch.
A faint burning sensation passed through her cheeks. Xia Xingchen was stunned and subconsciously raised her head. She felt a little uncomfortable when she met his deep gaze. She just pretended to be calm and said, "You called me here so early, aren't you just asking me to button your clothes?"
The servant took his suit and put it aside. She reached out and touched it. It was very thin. She said almost subconsciously, "Change to something thicker. I heard it will rain today and the temperature will drop. The weather is getting colder."
After saying this, she realized that she seemed to be too concerned. She was embarrassed and didn't dare to look at him any more. He smiled softly and felt warm inside. "I will bring a windbreaker. We will have a meeting indoors today. Nothing will happen."
"… Yeah. That's good." Her voice became even softer. She tried to find a topic, "I just asked you, and you haven't answered me yet."
"How do you want to deal with Li Lingyi?" Bai Yeqing asked her. In fact, he was the one who had no right to deal with Li Lingyi. He was the original sin of all the tragedies.
When this matter was mentioned, Xia Xingchen's eyes darkened slightly, and he smiled bitterly, "Then should I deal with you first?"
Bai Yeqing looked at her deeply, "I always thought you were very clear about the content of our agreement and that it was voluntary... I'm sorry."
The last three words of apology are solemn and sincere.
Xia Xingchen actually resented him. The resentment that had been accumulating in her heart before she met him grew day by day. But, since when did that resentment gradually dissipate? Probably... from the time she met him, to the time she truly understood him, and then... she began to worry about him, feel sorry for him, admire him, and rely on him. After that, she really couldn't resent him anymore.
He took a long breath, sorted himself out, and said, "I can handle Li Lingyi's situation myself. I'll go see her this morning."
He was silent for a moment, then said, "If you need any help, please tell me."
She nodded, "I know."
Xia Xingchen originally wanted to ask him how he was going to deal with his marriage with Song Weiyi, but that was probably a political matter, and if she asked too many questions, it would be bad if it involved confidential information, so she didn't say anything.
Just thinking of one other thing, he said, "I have something I want to ask you."
"What?" Bai Yeqing had already finished getting ready and asked, "Come downstairs and have breakfast with me."
Xia Xingchen picked up the suit he had left behind and held it carefully in her hands before following him. He turned around to look at her, and the scene made him slightly dazzled. Xia Xingchen felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and said, "The servant will come up to get it later. It will take quite some time."
"Yeah." He agreed, took the clothes with one hand and hung them on his arm, held her hand with the other hand, and walked downstairs.
His palm was warm and strong. Xia Xingchen looked down and didn't break free. He asked in front, "What do you want to ask me?"
She came back to her senses, "Did you touch my phone the night before last?"
"how?"
"Did I ask you to delete a message?"
He then turned around and looked at her without saying anything. Xia Xingchen asked again, "Xu Yan's?"
"… Are you concerned about his information?" Bai Yeqing spoke again, his tone much heavier. His steps were a bit bigger. Xia Xingchen was wearing slippers, and it was very difficult for her to catch up with him. She had to jog to catch up with him, "Slow down, I'm going to fall."
Bai Yeqing suddenly turned around, and she didn't have time to retract her body, and she bumped into him directly. She cried out softly and almost fell down, but fortunately he was quick and held her waist, allowing her to stand firmly.
"You scared me to death!" Xia Xingchen, still in shock, glared at him.
"What exactly are you thinking about Xu Yan?" Bai Yeqing was completely unable to sense her anger, and only stared at her coldly, "Are you really obsessed with him? We've been apart for so many years, but you still want to get entangled with him? On the one hand, you tell me that you admire me, love me, and have a good impression of me, but on the other hand, you are often with him. Xia Xingchen, are you too fickle?"
After Bai Yeqing finished speaking, Xia Xingchen was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and bury himself. Upstairs and downstairs, there were servants everywhere, and his words were all heard by everyone!
She said words like "admiration", "admiration", "liking" and so on. They were clearly used to distance herself from him at the beginning. How come... now when he said them, they all became words of confession? !
"Yeah, I've always been so fickle. Besides, I've already said that it's just a little affection. I'm allowed to have it with you, but I can't have it with others?" Xia Xingchen said this deliberately. It didn't sound true, so she pretended to be angry and glared at him, "Why did you delete my messages and cut off my romantic opportunities?"
Bai Yeqing's face was extremely gloomy. He tightened his grip on her waist a little bit and snorted, "Do you really have a little affection for her? Then tell me, the night before yesterday, you clearly called Future Taxi to order a taxi, so how did you end up calling me?"
"..." Xia Xingchen also felt that he was quite stupid at that time, "I was drunk and couldn't read the words clearly. I didn't mean to trouble you..."
"So... what's on your phone, Future Husband?"
Meeting his interested eyes, Xia Xingchen's face flushed. She knew that he definitely knew it! But...
"You must have misunderstood! Really... This is really a huge misunderstanding!" Xia Xingchen explained. When Bai Yeqing saw this, he must have thought that she was a nymphomaniac, dreaming about marrying him, right
"If you have such thoughts, you can tell me directly, there is no need to express it so implicitly."
"… I really don't have such an idea!" Xia Xingchen felt very wronged and explained, "It was that naughty Xia Dabai who used my phone to set up a weird program. I have tried to change it no less than a hundred times. I begged him, bribed him, and even threatened to beat him up, but nothing worked. He just wouldn't let me change it!"
