Bai Yeqing seemed calm and composed the entire time. Just as he was about to say something, the door of the conference hall was slowly pushed open from the outside.
A young woman walked in slowly, meeting everyone's gaze.
No one stopped her in the venue. Bai Yeqing remained seated in the main seat, motionless, looking at the woman. It was hard to tell what he was thinking.
"It's Miss Song Weiyi!" Everyone recognized her immediately, and the whole place was shocked.
"Hello, everyone." Song Weiyi nodded and smiled. He slowly walked towards the man in the main seat and said, "The questions you asked the president just now, why not let me, the person involved, answer them!"
As soon as Song Weiyi opened her mouth, the scene immediately went crazy, with all the guns and cannons aimed at her. Leng Fei was alert, but Bai Yeqing's expression never changed.
"The heroine you've been concerned about is indeed me." Song Weiyi said, smiling sweetly at Bai Yeqing. The man's expression remained secretive, neither denying nor approving.
She couldn't figure out what this man was thinking, and her heart was beating fast. But the next moment, she mustered up her courage, leaned over, kissed him on the cheek, looked around at the reporters, and said, "In three days, Mr. President and I will have our wedding. I hope you will all come to the scene to be our witnesses."
… … … … …
The picture finally freezes on a man and a woman, and the press conference ends. Everything is perfect.
Xia Xingchen stared at it in a daze for a long time, and did not look away until she heard the two girls in the front seat talking.
"That's great! I told you that the President wouldn't let us down! I'm his loyal supporter!" One of the girls' tone was full of admiration and pride.
"Okay, I admit that you have a good eye. Now it seems that he is indeed a wise and trustworthy leader."
"That's right. Mr. President is also an ordinary person. Even if he really has emotional problems, it can't erase his impressive political achievements. But... it's such a pity that he is going to marry Song Weiyi." The girl's tone was full of regret.
"Why are you feeling sorry? They are a talented man and a beautiful woman, and they are a perfect match. Otherwise, do you still think that the story of the prince and Cinderella really exists in reality?"
"You've fantasized about it before. You like Vice President Yu so much, haven't you ever fantasized about marrying him someday? Humph! You still have to have dreams, what if you see a ghost someday? Even if I don't marry him, as long as the President looks at me, I'll die with no regrets!"
"You should save your energy now. They have already announced that they are getting married today."
…
The two girls were talking back and forth, Xia Xingchen didn't listen any more, nor did she want to listen any more. Xia Dabai seemed to be woken up, blinking his eyelashes and waking up in a daze.
"Dabao, what are you looking at?"
His eyes subconsciously looked at the IPAD in Xia Xingchen's hand. She was slightly startled and quickly turned off the video without making a sound. With a smile on her face, she shook her head, "I was just reading the translation document. Why did you wake up?"
Xia Dabai rubbed his round little head against her legs again, and his two little arms wrapped around her waist, "I just dreamed about Xiaobai and you... I dreamed that you gave birth to another little sister for me~"
This was obviously a sweet dream for the child. He had a happy smile on his face, looking particularly happy. He smacked his lips, closed his eyes, and quickly fell asleep again, as if he wanted to relive the dream just now.
The happier he was, the more miserable Xia Xingchen felt. She didn't know how to talk to him, how to tell him that all this could really just be a dream...
… … … … …
The press conference ended successfully, and Bai Yeqing and his team returned to the Presidential Office.
Bai Suye was waiting for him on the terrace of Baiyu Palace. As soon as he came over, she put down the coffee cup in her hand, stood up, and walked towards him.
"I have sent the intelligence information about Yu Song that you requested to your mailbox. Please check it. I will send it to you again after I crack the password." Bai Suye's voice was low and cautious.
Bai Yeqing nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."
"This press conference was very successful." Bai Suye was pleased. "You are gaining momentum online."
"Now that the limelight has passed, you don't have to worry about it anymore."
"Yes. I always believe that you can handle this matter well."
Bai Yeqing thought of something and said in a cold tone: "Some people just don't have confidence in me."
"You mean... Xingchen?"
Bai Yeqing raised his eyebrows without comment, but he didn't seem to want to continue this topic. Bai Suye didn't ask any more questions, just said: "This time, at the wedding, are you really planning to..."
"Remember to be there on time that day." Bai Yeqing interrupted her.
Walls have ears, and Bai Suye also knows that. He nodded, said nothing more, checked the time, and said, "I have something else to do, so I have to leave first."
"Where are you going?"
"The exhibition is at 3:15." Bai Suye said, "Master Tina's works. I heard that he is coming here this time. I want to go and take a look."
Bai Yeqing knew her interests and hobbies, and said, "I'll have someone take you there."
"No, my car is parked outside the palace. Besides, when it comes to appreciating paintings, I just want to be alone and quiet."
… … … … …
Bai Suyue left, and Bai Yeqing leaned back on the sofa. Only then did he finally relax a little.
He remembered something, rolled up his shirt sleeves, and looked at his arms. On his right arm, there was a row of shallow teeth marks.
The little woman bit me last night.
She couldn't stand his torment and she couldn't do anything about it, so she would bite people when she got angry.
Bai Yeqing recalled the scene of her moaning softly under him last night, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously, and his heart was restless. But then he thought of how she had boarded the train so casually, and his chest was filled with a nameless fire. His face suddenly became cold again.
I don’t know where the mother and son are now.
… … … … …
The train took four hours to drive. When Xia Xingchen brought Dabai to the small county town of Liangcheng, it was almost 6 o'clock. At this time of year, it was already dark.
Xia Xingchen walked out of the station with her luggage, looking at the lonely and unfamiliar streets, feeling desolate. If Xia Dabai hadn't been by her side, she would have felt very uncomfortable.
"Dabao, are we going to grandma's house now?" Xia Dabai pulled her trouser leg.
"Yes." Xia Xingchen stood on the street and stopped a taxi. The taxi stopped at their feet. She put the gift in the trunk and told the address. After considering it, she dialed a number.
