The mother didn't want him to know, and she didn't dare to say anything. She just said, "Everything is fine. The people there are simple and honest, and life there is very comfortable."
"… That's good. That's good." Xia Guopeng said 'that's good' twice, but there was no trace of happiness or relief in his tone. Instead, there was a full sense of loss. "As long as I am not living a chaotic life like I am now, it would be better than anything else."
Xia Xingchen couldn't bear it, and after thinking for a long time, he said, "Dad, Mom will have surgery at SW Hospital tomorrow morning. If you really want to see her... it's okay for you to come and see her while she's in surgery."
"Your mother is in Kyoto? Is there something wrong with her heart again?" Xia Guopeng's tone suddenly became anxious. Xia Xingchen didn't know whether to be happy or worried. It seemed that even after so many years, his father still remembered his mother's illnesses very clearly.
But…
The feelings we once had have been hurt so badly that if we continue to show some affection it will only add to the sadness for both of us, right
After Xia Xingchen explained the situation, the father and daughter didn't have much more to talk about - after all, Li Lingyi and Xia Xingkong had been instigating things in that family over the years, and the father-daughter relationship between them had long been worn away - so, they hung up the phone after a while.
Thinking of the two people who had already missed each other and could not go back, Xia Xingchen still felt a little melancholy. She put down her phone, went to the kitchen to get some purified water, and drank two sips. The cold liquid flowed into her body along her throat, and she felt extremely cool.
"Who are you talking to on the phone so late?" Suddenly, a deep male voice sounded from above her head. The sexy voice sounded lazy and seductive in the night. Behind her, the man's hot body pressed tightly against hers. His breath was shrouded in the dark night. His heartbeat was particularly strong, and the sound of "bang bang—" was transmitted from behind to her heart.
Her heart skipped a beat, her fingers trembled, and she almost dropped the cup on the glass table.
Fortunately, she didn't, otherwise it would be really embarrassing! She held the cup tightly, without turning back, and just asked softly: "... Why haven't you slept yet?"
Such closeness and ambiguity made her feel nervous. Her whole body was tense, even her voice was tense.
"You haven't answered me yet, who did you just talk to on the phone..." Bai Yeqing asked again. Xia Xingchen felt that this guy was definitely doing it on purpose. Why did he have to stick so close to her when he was talking? Moreover, he lowered his head, and his thin lips were just above her earlobe. While he was talking, his lips moved, and those two soft lips brushed against her skin, causing her breathing to become a little disordered.
“…It’s my dad.” She tried hard to make her voice sound normal, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her voice became soft and messy.
Bai Yeqing seemed very satisfied with her reaction. He smiled softly, and gently pressed his thin lips against her snow-white earlobe. The words he spoke were like a breath, "What did you talk about?"
Xia Xingchen was inexplicably thirsty because of him. The man's breath brushed against her body, just like being tickled by a feather, making her feel itchy all the way to the tip of her heart. She picked up the cup and drank some more water, trying to clear her mind.
Then he said: "Just talking about my mother..."
"What are you nervous about?" Bai Yeqing spread his hands, passed by her side, and leaned on the table. He was tall and straight, and in this way, he almost held her whole body in his arms, making her figure look even more petite and delicate.
Xia Xingchen refused to admit that she was nervous. She put down the cup, pushed his arm with one hand, and said calmly, "It's late. I'm going to bed... I have to go to the hospital to accompany my mother tomorrow morning."
How could Bai Yeqing allow her to escape like this? He lifted her slightly wet hair that was scattered behind her with one arm, and his scorching lips branded her neck.
"Hmm..." She gasped softly, her fingers pressed against the glass table, her fingertips turned white. She subconsciously wanted to dodge, but there was a table in front of her and a tall man behind her, so she had nowhere to hide.
His lips lingered from her neck down, pecking at her lightly, making ambiguous sounds in such a quiet night, making people feel frightened.
Xia Xingchen knew what he wanted to do, and she felt conflicted.
The last time I was with him, I was holding my child and thinking it was the last time, so I had no scruples. But in the future... if the two of us really have that kind of relationship again, what kind of relationship should they have
We can't continue to be as unclear as we are now.
As Xia Xingchen was thinking, she felt a chill. She didn't know when the belt around her waist had loosened a lot.
Bai Yeqing kissed her from her waist all the way up, and she took a breath and almost blew it out. He smiled softly and reminded her hoarsely, "Hold it... Your son is in the room now... If he hears it, he might think I'm bullying you again..."
After he reminded her, Xia Xingchen blushed and was so angry that she didn't even dare to breathe. She just replied with some shame and anger, "Aren't you bullying me?"
"I am bullying you..." Bai Yeqing's voice was so hoarse that it made people feel scared. His forehead was pressed against her neck, and there was a thin layer of sweat on it. He gently sniffed her sweet scent, "But, bullying like this is not enough... I have to bully you from top to bottom, from inside to outside like I did that night..."
As he spoke, he turned her little face over with one hand and kissed the tip of her perky little nose.
Xia Xingchen supported him with his hands to keep himself steady. "Aren't you not interested in my body?... You have slept with so many women, and yet you still come to bully me?"
Clearly, these were words of complaint, but when spoken, they sounded soft and coquettish, and did not sound confident at all. Instead, they seemed more alluring, as if she was reluctant but also willing.
The more he heard it, the more itchy he felt.
He lowered his eyes slightly and looked at her. Her face was full of passion and she was charming and alluring. Her eyes were full of water under her trembling eyelashes, which attracted his heart. With this look, how could he think of other women? He really didn't think of other women.
There was a woman in his mind, and only one woman. This feeling was still very strange. As for whether it was heartbeat or love, he was too lazy to care.
"I just want to sleep with you now, and maybe I will still only want to sleep with you in the future..." Bai Yeqing bit her, his teeth gently grinding on her earlobe, "Now I promise to let the child follow you, so... don't you have to satisfy me?"
This man! He is just playing tricks! The child is indeed following her now, but isn't he also following her? She didn't take the child away!
