So many questions came like a tide, almost drowning people.
Although she was the protagonist of the incident, she was more like an outsider. But even if she was outside the situation, she was already terrified, let alone him who was at the center of the storm
Bai Yeqing seemed to have not expected her to ask such a question. In the eyes of outsiders, he, as the president, seemed to be an iron man. He had an impeccable armor, and he would not feel tired, pain, fall, or be afraid. Everyone would only see his bright and beautiful appearance, and he was always calm and elegant. No one could penetrate his heart.
She was the only one who treated him as an ordinary person like her.
A deep warmth passed through his heart. Her worried eyes and caring questions seemed to have a magical power that could easily soothe his troubled heart.
He turned sideways to face her, meeting the worry in her eyes. His eyes were deep, "Are you worried about me?"
Xia Xingchen didn't answer, she just grabbed his hand that was still under her eyes. His fingers were so hot that her heartbeat was out of control.
But silence is a sign of consent.
"I do get scared sometimes." Bai Yeqing was silent for a long time after saying this. His breathing was a little heavy, falling into Xia Xingchen's ears, making her feel suffocated. Then, he continued, "It's just that I'm usually too busy to waste too much time on being scared. Political struggles are often like this. Before you have time to sort out your emotions, the next more terrifying thing will come and catch you off guard."
Xia Xingchen listened, feeling confused. Various emotions were intertwined. But, she was mostly helpless. How could she help
"You just said, is there anything I can help you with?" she asked.
Bai Yeqing looked at her for a while, then he sighed and reached out to hold her to his chest. Xia Xingchen was startled. The nightgown he was wearing was only tied with a belt around his waist. Now he was sleeping on his side, with a large area of his chest exposed.
Her face was unobstructed and pressed against his sexy chest muscles. His heartbeat was steady and powerful, hitting her eardrums again and again, all the way to the deepest part of her heart. The scorching temperature that belonged only to men was like a fire baking her, making her heartbeat disordered, and in an instant, even her thoughts became disordered.
He...didn't he say that he wanted to help him? Why did he need to hold her like this
Xia Xingchen licked his dry lips and was about to ask when the phone he had thrown on the bed rang briefly. Xia Xingchen's breathing tightened slightly and he said, "Your phone..."
She groped around under her body for a long time and then gave it to him.
Bai Yeqing took it, used his fingerprint password, and then entered a complicated string of numbers before he turned on the phone. It was a message from Leng Fei.
Xia Xingchen didn't intend to look, but when he looked up, he saw it inadvertently. There were only a few simple words on the screen:
The evidence is already in hand.
Xia Xingchen didn't know what the evidence referred to, and she assumed it was a political matter, so she didn't ask. When Bai Yeqing saw those words, he looked much more relaxed. He deleted the message and threw the phone aside.
He sighed, turning around and hugging her tighter.
He closed his eyes, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said in a sighing voice, "Stay here with me tonight, and that'll be your help."
"Huh?" Xia Xingchen looked at him in confusion.
"What?" He didn't open his eyes, and he looked a little lazy. It was obvious that he was really sleepy. "I've been too busy these past two days, and I haven't gotten much sleep. I might get a call at two or three in the middle of the night. You stay here, and if I get woken up again at two or three, you can talk to me."
“…” Xia Xingchen said nothing. He was really tired. Whether in his words or in his expression, he was full of tiredness.
After a long time without a reply, Bai Yeqing opened one eye and looked at her, "Don't want to?"
Those few words were so sexy that they made one's heart tremble with fear.
Xia Xingchen's face was a little hot. She didn't answer him directly. She just slowly closed her eyes and whispered, "Since you haven't slept well for so long, go to sleep now."
She yawned against his chest and murmured, "Actually, I haven't slept in the past two days."
He was busy, and she was worried about him...
… … … …
Outside the window, the starry sky is bright. Inside, the lights are dim, and the man and woman sleep in each other's arms, sleeping soundly all night until dawn. Two days of insomnia, two days of anxiety, two days of restlessness, seem to disappear in an instant when they embrace each other.
When Xia Xingchen woke up again, it was already completely bright outside the window.
nice weather.
Bai Yeqing was no longer on the bed. It was obvious that he had left long ago, and the place where he had slept had lost its warmth.
However, there seemed to be a lingering scent of him in the air. Xia Xingchen couldn't help but sniff the quilt gently, but then she felt that her action was childish and put the quilt down with a bit of resentment. Since when did she become so... so obsessed with him? She even couldn't let go of his scent.
She sighed, smoothed her hair, and sat up. Her clothes were all wrinkled, and it seemed that she had to call Wei Yang and ask her to bring a set of clothes to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, as soon as she got out of bed and walked into the living room, she was stunned by the neatly arranged suit on the sofa.
He prepared it. He always thinks things through.
Xia Xingchen walked closer and found a note on it.
"Prepare dinner for me tonight. Any meal you like."
His handwriting was powerful and strong. Xia Xingchen looked at it and smiled slightly, feeling a little sweet in her heart. However, when she thought that he and Song Weiyi might really get married, her heart ached again.
This sweet but bitter feeling is really not pleasant.
She changed into her suit and put the note carefully into her pocket. While eating breakfast, she turned on her phone and called Chi Weiyang.
"You knew you were on the phone? I thought you were kidnapped again, and I almost called the police."
"My phone ran out of battery last night. This morning I checked and found it was full again." She knew that Bai Yeqing had given her a universal charger to charge it at night. She vaguely remembered that he was really woken up by the phone call in the middle of the night, but he did not wake her up to talk to him. She was half asleep and half awake, and vaguely remembered that he seemed to kiss her.
Thinking of this, she touched her lips...
Later, she fell asleep again without realizing it. She was really too sleepy. This whole night seemed to make up for the sleepiness of the past two days.
"Where are you now?" Chi Weiyang asked.
"At the King Hotel."
"King Hotel? Did I hear it right?" Chi Weiyang immediately became interested. "Where did you stay last night? That's not a place that ordinary people can stay in! You are the mother of the president's son, so you are not an ordinary person."
