Xia Xingchen actually felt aggrieved. She buried her face in his chest and was speechless. Bai Yeqing said solemnly: "I will personally take the child back tomorrow. I promise you that as long as you don't want to hand the child over, no one will dare to take your child away! Including my parents!"
That last sentence is solemn and powerful.
After hearing his assurance, she became silent again.
… … … …
The old lady personally coaxed Xia Dabai to sleep. Looking at the white and tender little face, the innocent sleeping face made her heart feel like it was melting into water. No matter how she looked at it, she was reluctant to hand the child back. To Xia Xingchen.
"My grandson is asleep, and you are still watching. When he came out, he woke him up again." Mr. Bai called her at the door, his voice soft.
"Shh!" The old lady glared at him, stood up, and lowered her voice: "Keep your voice down."
Turning off the lights and closing the bedroom door, the old lady and the old man went back to their bedroom together. The old man put on a pair of glasses, took out a thick book and flipped through it, preparing to name his grandson. The old lady put a mask on her face, glanced at the old man who was taking notes carefully in the mirror, and asked worriedly: "Do you think this Lan Ye will accept our precious grandson?"
"The Lan family wants to arrange this marriage themselves. If they don't accept it, then forget it."
"Yes, forget it if you don't accept it, we can't let our precious grandson suffer." When the old lady mentioned her grandson, her expression became much gentler. Putting on the mask, he walked to the old man and said, "Old man, I think we have to take this child with us ourselves, don't send it back! Anyway, we have given 10 million yuan, and this child is ours! I'm afraid of this little kid If the grandson goes back, he will be taught bad things by the mother and daughter."
In fact, the old man was reluctant to give his precious grandson to someone else. That woman was an outsider after all. However, taking people away like this is always a bit of a robber.
"It's said to be polite before fighting. This time, we can make her mentally prepared. After two days, you made an appointment with her and talked to her about the ownership of the child. After all, she is an outsider, and the custody rights can only be given to her in the future. Us. As for visitation rights..." The old man frowned, "We'll discuss that later!"
"Okay, be polite first and then fight. I have to decide the custody of my precious grandson anyway. Even Ye Qing is not allowed to fight against me!"
… … … …
On the other side, Xia Xingchen called her mother and told her that she and Dabai were not going home tonight, so she curled up on the bed.
Bai Yeqing lay on her side. She just turned her back to him. He frowned and turned her body over, but she was stubborn. Even when she turned around, she closed her eyes tightly and refused to look at him.
"Who are you angry with?" Bai Yeqing pinched her tense chin and raised her face.
She bit her lip and turned her face away.
"Are you angry at my parents or at me?" he asked.
Xia Xingchen was bitter and silent. To say that he was angry, it would be better to say that he was already scared in his heart. In the past, she thought that as long as he didn't take the child away, the child would always be by her side. However, after such an episode today, she realized that she was actually very naive.
The child's grandparents, his parents, had no regard for her feelings...
Moreover, once they are so determined to take the child as their own, her power is actually insignificant. There was absolutely no one to turn to for help, except the man beside him.
"Can I ask you something..."
She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him. There was pleading in his eyes.
He raised his eyes to meet hers, and could see the sadness and ripples in her eyes. His thin lips moved, "Say."
"If one day in the future... you marry another woman, you must not let your parents take away the child without saying a word like today." She was afraid, afraid that by then she would not even be able to beg him anymore, and she would really The sky is not responding to the calls, and the earth and the earth are not functioning properly.
Bai Yeqing looked at her, his eyes becoming colder and colder, "Xia Xingchen, say what you just said again."
Even his tone was cold and solemn. There is a little chill between the eyebrows.
She knew he was angry, and she thought of the Miss Lan she saw at night, the woman who could easily enter his home, the woman who was in the same world as him, her eyelashes twitched slightly, "Actually, we all know, Even if we sleep together now...even if we have done everything before, but...that doesn't mean there will be a future between us..."
In fact, even if he didn't say it, she knew his parents' attitude towards her. Obviously, they only planned to have children, and had not thought about letting her, a mother, into their Bai family. She doesn't have enough self-esteem to pray for anything, and she won't even think about mother being more valuable than son.
Bai Yeqing's breathing was tight and heavy. What she said was very sensible. In this world, if every relationship has a result, there will be no breakup. What's more, marriage and divorce!
However, her words, which were so rational and sober, still made his heart feel uncomfortable.
…
The position beside him moved, the quilt was lifted, he got up and got out of the bed, and then walked out in a deep step. The door was closed with a "bang", a muffled sound that was particularly clear at night. It was like hitting her chest, making her feel extremely depressed.
When he left, it was as if he took the temperature of the room with him. She raised her head and stared at the door in confusion for a long time. Finally, she withdrew her gaze and lay down again. Her body was either cold or hot, so she wrapped the quilt around herself and held it tightly.
For a long time, the cold words of the guard at the door were still in my mind: "She is likely to be Mr. President's future wife. How dare you stop her car? You don't want your life!"
… … … … …
The next day.
In the morning, the weather cleared up. Last night's storm made the city even more lonely, and even the morning sunshine couldn't remove the haze.
She got up and looked at herself in the mirror. She still looked ugly. The eyes are swollen and there are a few small strains on the face. Although they have been treated, they are still very clear. Colleague Xiao Xin called over, "Xia Xingchen, we will be at the airport in three hours. You have brought all your documents! Don't be late!"
Only then did Xia Xingchen remember his business trip to Country Y today. Looking at the time, there is really no way to delay it any longer.
After she washed up, she changed her clothes and went downstairs.
"Miss Xia, good morning!" The servants greeted her one after another when they saw her. The housekeeper bowed from a distance, "Ms. Xia, good morning, have you recovered?"
"Thank you, I'm feeling better now." She reluctantly held the corners of her lips, but her whole body was still a little weak. It was too cold yesterday and my body has not recovered yet.
