Bai Yeqing came out happily, but returned with a gloomy face. Xia Dabai woke up without knowing when, turned on a small light, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at him with a gloating look in his big eyes that were not yet fully awake, "Xiaobai, you were planning to leave me and sleep with Dabao, but you were kicked out by Dabao, right?"
This guy is always kicking the can down the road. How could he be kicked out? That woman didn't even give him a chance to get in!
He snorted, not wanting to bother with him, and simply threw back the quilt and went to sleep, looking depressed.
Xia Dabai also lay back, turned his little face to the side and smiled at his tense profile, "Xiaobai, it's wrong to abandon your son just because you have a wife!"
"…Who said I went to look for her?" Bai Yeqing felt that his son was being nagging.
"Aren't you going to look for Dabao? Then why are you up so late?"
"Pour the water."
"Where's your water?"
"…" Bai Yeqing turned off the light and said, "Go to sleep!"
… … … … …
The next day.
Just like yesterday, when Xia Xingchen got up, Bai Yeqing had already left. Xia Dabai was still sleeping soundly in bed. Xia Xingchen went in to wake him up, washed him up, and took him to the restaurant for breakfast.
"Mom will go to school and ask your teacher for some leave today so that I can take you to see your grandma, okay?" Xia Xingchen asked him.
"Grandma?" Xia Dabai looked confused. "I've never seen her before!"
"Yeah. I haven't met her. This time I'm taking you to meet her for the first time. She's my mother's mother. She lives in another city, so she might be gone for a few days."
Xia Dabai thought that it was just like going on a trip, just like playing, so it would be fun. He nodded his head and asked, "Should we take Xiaobai with us?"
"..." Xia Xingchen's expression darkened. He was busy getting married, so where would he find the time to spend with them? Not to mention accompanying them to visit relatives.
He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "You can see how busy Xiaobai is. How could he have the time to accompany us to such a far place."
"Yeah, that's true." Xia Dabai nodded, "Then I'll go get to know grandma first, and when Xiaobai is free in the future, I'll take him to see grandma."
Xia Xingchen just smiled slightly, trying to hide the complicated and depressed emotions in her heart. She didn't want the child to know that his Xiaobai would marry another woman. At least, she didn't want to see him sad now. She didn't know how to tell the child such a cruel thing.
After breakfast, Xia Xingchen accompanied her child to school, successfully asked for a few days' leave from the teacher, and then returned to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
She turned on her computer and started working. At around 10 o'clock, she slowed down her work and prepared to write a leave application. Just as she typed the word "leave", her cell phone suddenly rang.
A completely unfamiliar number flashed on the screen. Xia Xingchen didn't think much about it, so he took the phone and answered it. His fingers were still tapping on the keyboard.
"Hello, who are you?" she spoke first.
"Xia Xingchen, let's meet again."
This sound...
Xia Xingchen was slightly startled, and after a moment of silence, he agreed, "Okay. You tell me the location."
"I'll arrange for someone to pick you up, just wait at the door."
… … … … … …
The place where the other party made an appointment was a high-end custom studio. The studio was a concept store, and every dress designed in it was priceless.
The car that picked her up stopped at the door. Immediately, a waiter stepped forward and respectfully opened the car door for her, "Ms. Xia, Miss Song is already waiting for you inside."
"Thanks."
Xia Xingchen nodded politely, handed her bag and coat to someone else, and was led inside.
In the luxurious, oversized dressing room, there were so many dresses and wedding gowns that it was overwhelming. Xia Xingchen's eyes swept over them. The holy white gauze was so beautiful, but it made her eyes dry and painful. It was as if sand had been rubbed into her eyes, making her eyes moist unconsciously.
"The wedding dresses here are beautiful, aren't they?" A voice suddenly broke in, bringing Xia Xingchen back to her senses. She pinched her palms with her fingers, and only raised her head after she had adjusted her emotions completely.
On her face, she had an impeccable smile. "Miss Song, you asked me to come here today. Did you want me to help you pick out your wedding dress?"
"You are right." Song Weiyi wore a very elegant dress today, with long hair draped over her shoulders. Compared with the past, she looked a little sweeter today. It can be seen that she was in a very good mood. The saying that people are in high spirits when they are happy is probably like this!
Xia Xingchen felt a tightness in her chest, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled sarcastically, "Miss Song, you probably picked the wrong person. You and I are not close enough for me to pick a wedding dress for you."
"Miss Xia has a good eye for men, so it's easy to imagine that she has good taste in other things too." Song Weiyi's words were meaningful. She pointed to one side with her chin, where all the expensive and gorgeous clothes were hung, dazzling the eyes. "Look at these dresses. These are what I will wear at the wedding in four days. And these are what my future husband Ye Qing will wear."
Song Weiyi deliberately emphasized the words "future husband", obviously declaring her sovereignty.
She raised her chin high and looked at Xia Xingchen with pride, "What do you think, Xia Xingchen? Do you think these are suitable for us?"
Xia Xingchen smiled slightly, as if she didn't understand what she said at all. "Trying on clothes is like marriage. You know best in your heart whether it is suitable or not. Miss Song came to ask me so unconfidently, I guess you already have a clear answer in your mind, right?"
If it’s something that’s truly suitable for you, why do you need to ask for other people’s opinions
Song Weiyi's face changed when he was choked by her words. The next moment, he sneered and crossed his arms, "That's right. Whether it's clothes or marriage, you really have to try it yourself to know. It's a pity that no matter how much you like it, you don't have a chance. These things all belong to me, and you don't even have the qualifications to compete with me!"
What Song Weiyi said was indeed correct.
Xia Xingchen raised his eyes and looked at her. "You asked me to come here, I think, you don't just want to talk to me about these things, right? If that's all, then I'm sorry, my time is precious."
Song Weiyi stared at her sternly, then glanced at the other staff members beside him and ordered coldly: "Everyone get out! Close the door! No one is allowed to come in without my permission!"
"Yes, Miss Song." After responding, everyone dispersed.
Seeing this scene, Xia Xingchen began to wonder what Song Weiyi wanted to tell her.
