In the next two days, Xia Guopeng did not appear in the ward again. Shen Min's mood gradually recovered. After resting in bed, she was successfully discharged from the hospital and rested at home.
Xia Xingchen was naturally worried about her going back to the countryside, and her current health meant that she couldn't go back to Liangcheng, so she took a few days off and settled her in the small rental house. She slept in the small bed, and Bai Yeqing's bed was for her mother.
Now she was actually glad that he had opened up this room.
night.
Xia Xingchen sat on the sofa watching TV. The wiretapping scandal had been getting worse over the past few days. Yu Zeyao pushed out a scapegoat and got away with it. Song Guoyao was not so relaxed.
He originally found a scapegoat, but the scapegoat was unwilling to spend the rest of his life in prison. As a result, he directly revealed in court that he was instructed by Song Guoyao to install the eavesdropping device. In order to reduce his sentence, he even submitted more materials. As a result, Song Guoyao's image in front of the public became worse and worse. His previous words of innocence have now become the biggest lies that irritate the public. The people who once believed in him all felt that they were fooled. For a time, angry college students took to the streets to protest and demanded that Vice President Yu step down immediately. Congress could not withstand the pressure and had to propose impeachment. As a result, before the impeachment was launched, Song Guoyao hurriedly resigned on his own initiative, and a farce came to an end. Song Guoyao's team also withdrew from the political stage.
Watching this drama, Xia Xingchen also felt relieved for him. For the time being, his only opponent was Yu Zeyao. Yu Zeyao had many tricks, and fighting him would not be easy, but it was better than fighting two people.
"Dabao, is Xiaobai coming back today?" Xia Dabai asked, wearing pajamas, covered with a blanket, and resting his head on her legs.
Tomorrow is the weekend and he doesn't have classes, so he will play later.
"Yeah." Xia Xingchen glanced at the time. It was already 10 o'clock at night. He probably got off the plane. But, I don't know if he will come to her place. He is so busy.
It’s only been five days since we last met…
But it seemed like a long time had passed.
"Dabao, I'm sleepy." Xia Dabai murmured, hugged her neck with both hands and climbed on top of her.
"Then mom will take you to bed." Xia Xingchen turned off the TV, picked up Xia Dabai and walked to the bedroom. She settled him down first, then went to another room to see her mother.
Shen Min was not feeling well and had gone to bed a long time ago. Xia Xingchen poured her a glass of water and placed it on the bedside, then adjusted the heater to a moderate temperature before gently closing the door and leaving.
After accompanying her child to sleep for a while, she was about to fall asleep when her phone vibrated. It seemed that she had guessed who it was, or that she was worried about someone, so the phone vibrated and she woke up. She grabbed the phone and saw the words "Xiao Bai" flashing on the screen. She couldn't help but smile.
He quietly got up from the bed, closed the door, walked into the living room, and then answered the phone.
"It took you so long to answer the phone. Are you asleep?" Bai Yeqing asked.
"… I was afraid of disturbing the children, so I didn't dare to answer it until I got to the living room." Xia Xingchen spoke softly. Hearing the man's voice, she felt her heart soften. She asked, "You're back?"
"I just arrived and am having a meeting in the office."
"Are they still in a meeting?" Xia Xingchen felt distressed when she heard this. Don't these people need to sleep
"I can't help it. The eavesdropping has to come to an end. I won't go to your place tonight."
"... Yeah." Xia Xingchen nodded. "Actually, if you come to my place, there's no place for you to sleep. My mom will sleep in your room. Do you have any objections?"
He has mysophobia and definitely doesn't like others touching his things. However, there is no other way at the moment.
Bai Yeqing thought this was not the point at all. What he was concerned about was: "Does this mean that you can't sleep with me for a long time in the future?"
This person!
Sure enough, these are the only things she remembered. She blushed, "That's it!"
Bai Yeqing was obviously very depressed. He held the phone and didn't say anything for a long time. Xia Xingchen couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she didn't say anything. After a while, he said, "I really want to eat the noodles you cooked now."
"Now?" Xia Xingchen said, "But even if I make noodles now and send them to you, they will be too mushy to eat. How about you ask the chef in the kitchen to make some for you and you can just eat it?"
"I don't want to give in." Bai Yeqing said to her directly: "Wait at home, I'll ask Rui Gang to pick you up."
Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant. However, he was not a person who liked to explain, and the other party was very busy, so he hung up the phone without saying anything.
She was groggy and didn't want to disturb him, so she didn't call him back. But now she was completely sleepy.
He asked Rui Gang to pick him up, could it be that... he wanted to take her to the office
Thinking of this, Xia Xingchen felt that he must have thought too much. After all, that was where he worked, how could he let a woman in casually
I was sitting on the sofa, thinking about random things. I was no longer sleepy, so I turned on the TV again. I glanced at my phone from time to time, waiting for Ruigang's call.
Sure enough, 30 minutes later, Rui Gang called.
"Miss Xia, I'm downstairs now, please come down."
Xia Xingchen asked: "Where are we going? Did he say anything?"
"Mr. President asked me to take you to Baiyu Palace to find him."
He really asked me to go to his office! Although Xia Xingchen felt it was incredible, she was still secretly happy. Being able to see him working so closely gave her a better understanding of him.
She changed her clothes quietly and went downstairs lightly. All along the way, she was thinking whether her clothes were appropriate and dignified for the evening. After all, Baiyu Palace was not an ordinary place.
After driving for a while, Ruigang's car stopped outside the palace.
Then, he got out of the car, saluted the guard at the door, scanned his fingerprints, and checked his facial features. Only then did the majestic and imposing gilded door slowly open from the inside.
Baiyu Palace is a place that everyone flocks to. Not to mention Country S, even foreign tourists always pass by here to take a look and take pictures with the guards whenever they come to Kyoto. Therefore, Xia Xingchen is actually very familiar with this palace and this door.
but…
This door opened in front of me for the first time.
The car stopped on the green lawn, she opened the door and walked down, looking up at the palace, thinking that the man was looking up at her and the subjects of the entire S country at the top, she felt relieved and excited. That sense of pride was indescribable.
