Bai Yeqing glanced at Xia Xingchen, who was sleeping unsteadily on the bed, and said, "It won't help if I marry her. If you want her not to be sad, you have to let your uncle marry her."
Xia Dabai pouted and stared at him stubbornly, "But I like you more."
Bai Yeqing's gaze deepened. The child's bright and innocent eyes sparkled with pleading, making people feel that rejecting him would be a rather cruel thing.
But…
"I won't marry her." He replied decisively and somewhat ruthlessly.
Xia Dabai hung his head in frustration and asked, "Why?"
"Children don't need to understand too much about adult matters." Without saying anything more, he just glanced at Xia Xingchen lying on the bed, opened the door, and walked out with heavy steps.
The door was closed and there was no movement in the room for a long time. Xia Xingchen tentatively raised her eyelids and made sure that the man had gone far away before sitting up from the bed.
"Xia Dabai, you're making me lose face, you know that? I didn't say I wanted to marry him!" She poked Xia Dabai's back with her snow-white toes in annoyance.
What do you mean by 'won't marry her'? It's as if she really wanted to marry him.
Xingchen felt quite resentful.
Xia Dabai turned around with an innocent look on his face, "I just want to help you save face."
"How do I find it?"
"It's the most embarrassing thing that my uncle-in-law was snatched away by my aunt. Right?"
Xingchen's heart was bleeding. This brat was always talking about something.
"However, it would be so cool if our Xia Dabao could marry the President! Although the President is cold and boring, he is better than my uncle, right? Dabao, how about we work hard and let dad marry you?" Xia Dabai said at the end, his eyes shining.
Xingchen knew what he was thinking. He just wanted to have a complete family like other children.
But…
"Honey, that's the President, not just any ordinary citizen. So... let's not let our imagination run wild, okay?"
She patted the child's head, unable to bear to see the child's disappointed look, and got up, took her pajamas and went to the bathroom.
Marrying the high and mighty president? She really didn't even dare to think about it. All the presidents in the past married big names. Who was she
Thinking of him, I couldn't help but recall the ambiguous scene in the car just now, his strong heartbeat, and his strong arms...
For a moment, my heartbeat started to get chaotic again.
No! No! Xia Xingchen, stop imagining! How could she imagine that man
She slapped her face to sober herself up and put the man's image out of her mind. She stood there for a long time, holding her chest, and her heartbeat finally calmed down.
… …
The next day.
Early in the morning, when Xia Xingchen led Xia Dabai, who was dressed like a little gentleman, into the restaurant, the president was already sitting there, with the butler waiting on him.
The morning light shone in through the French windows. His every move was graceful and calm, and his whole body was coated with dazzling golden light. When they came in, he just slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at the child.
Xia Xingchen felt that he was so close to her, yet so far away. They were not from the same world.
"Young Master, Miss Xia, good morning." The servant greeted them respectfully and pulled out chairs for them.
"Good morning, Dad." Xia Dabai greeted politely.
"Morning." He said lightly.
Xia Xingchen didn't say anything, just ate in silence. After last night, she felt a little embarrassed in front of him. However, it seemed that she was the only one who felt this embarrassment, and he was always frank and indifferent.
"Dad, what is this?" Xia Dabai blinked his big eyes curiously and looked at someone's neck.
Xia Xingchen looked over and saw the spot where she had bitten last night. She had really drunk too much to vent her anger last night and the wound looked quite shocking now.
"It was bitten by a naughty kitten." After the President finished speaking, he glanced at the culprit with a meaningful look.
Xia Xingchen was embarrassed. She felt that this was as ambiguous as it could be.
She raised her eyes subconsciously and met his gaze. Her cheeks flushed and her hand holding the knife became a little unsteady. She quickly lowered her head again.
On the side, Xia Dabai looked at the two of them flirting with each other thoughtfully, and said happily, "Then I know, this kitten must be very beautiful."
"What?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Otherwise, how could she bite you, Dad? And she specifically bit such an intimate place." Xia Dabai raised his chin, "If it were me, if the woman wasn't beautiful and I liked her, I wouldn't let her bite me!"
After the little guy finished speaking, the housekeeper and servants beside him almost couldn't hold back their laughter.
Xia Xingchen was so embarrassed that he almost wanted to dig a hole in the ground.
The president's face turned black. Who told this little thing that it was bitten by a woman
"Okay, Dabai, eat your breakfast obediently." Xia Xingchen took the fruit and tried to shut his son's mouth.
Xia Dabai blinked his eyes, "Hey, Dabao, why is your face so red?"
“…” You little bastard!
… … … …
After a breakfast that made her face flush and her heart beat fast, Xia Xingchen finally saw off the president and Xia Dabai. When she looked at the time, she didn't dare to think about it anymore and quickly asked the driver to take her to work.
When she hurried to the department, there was already a pile of work waiting for her.
As a result, when I was extremely busy, the old lady called me personally.
"Hey, Grandma. I'm sorry I left without telling you last night."
"Let's forget about what happened last night. But, I heard from Xingkong that you were picked up by a stranger last night."
stranger
Bai Yeqing is someone that every household knows, right
But Xingchen didn't dare to say this. He just said, "You can't be considered a stranger. You are just a friend of mine."
"Xu Yan and Xingkong both said that the man is mysterious and not a good person. Xingkong, tell grandma the truth. Could he be close to some messy people?"
Xia Xingkong really didn't let her down. He never forgot to tell tales.
"Grandma, don't listen to their nonsense. He's not a messy person. I know that."
"You know what's going on? You should know what's going on. How can you give birth to a child without knowing the father? You can't even tell us what's going on. This is such a joke for our Xia family!"
Xia Xingchen bit her lip. When it came to this, she had nothing to say.
"Grandma has found a good match for you. I'll ask him out for you in a few days. No matter what, you should take a close look at him. Don't be picky about this or that. You'll be lucky if he doesn't mind that you have a child."
"Grandma..." Xia Xingchen wanted to say something, but the old lady interrupted her, "It's decided."
After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving Xia Xingchen a chance to say anything more.
