Lan Ye seemed to have expected this answer. He was not surprised or sad at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. It's best if you don't have any plans to get married. I'm just afraid that you do have plans to get married..."
She was most worried that he would get married to someone other than her.
"Actually, when I saw you and Song Weiyi walking on the red carpet that day, I felt quite unwilling. Frankly speaking, I am not inferior to her in any aspect. But... the facts prove that you and Song Weiyi are not destined to be together." Lan Ye is a very straightforward person, and he does not hide his thoughts at all. When he said the last sentence, his joy was beyond words.
Bai Yeqing was not blind to her feelings. When they were in the Marine Corps, she had once loudly confessed her feelings to him in front of all the Marine Corps brothers. He did not give her any face at all at that time and rejected her on the spot in front of everyone, which made her cry for a long time.
"You misunderstood. It's not that I have no fate with Song Weiyi." Bai Yeqing looked up at her, his eyes were indifferent, without any extra emotions, and his words were also indifferent, "I have no fate with all women."
Lan Ye was stunned.
The refusal couldn't be more obvious.
She stared at him intently, her eyes darkening, "Do you know that you are still as ruthless as before?"
Bai Yeqing did not reply to her, but turned his attention to the phone again. Once again, he dialed the number. This time, Lan Ye clearly saw the word "Xingchen" on the screen. Obviously, it was a girl's name. Who is Xingchen? She thought, she should go and check it out. As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
His call still didn't go through.
They arrived at the Lan residence. The driver had already respectfully opened the car door. Out of courtesy, Bai Yeqing got out of the car to see him off. Lan Ye didn't argue much and said goodbye to him, but after taking two steps, he turned around and walked in front of him.
"Do you remember that you owed me something before?" Lan Ye asked him with her head tilted. When she looked at him, her eyes were sparkling and full of admiration like a young girl.
Bai Yeqing didn't answer. She suddenly leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek. His face darkened and he wanted to push her away, but Lan Ye had already taken a step back and looked at him with a smile, "You can't be angry! You owe me this. I was so injured and dizzy at that time. If you hadn't agreed to let me kiss you, how could I have the energy to get up, and how could you have gotten the title of Land War King? I'm settling the account with you now for ten years ago. I'm not charging you interest, which is already very good!"
Leng Fei chuckled beside him.
Bai Yeqing glared at him unhappily before replying to Lan Ye, "Go in, I have something else to do."
"Well, goodbye." Lan Ye waved and watched him get into the car. Before the car door closed, she added solemnly: "Mr. President, from today on, I will officially start pursuing you. Please take care of me in the future!"
Bai Yeqing closed the car door directly, as if he didn't hear her words at all.
Leng Fei wiped away tears of sympathy for Lan Ye outside. This Mr. President is so ruthless!
"Sir, Miss Lan Ye is truly infatuated with you!" Leng Fei could still see Lan Ye's figure in the rearview mirror.
Bai Yeqing closed his eyes and leaned against the car to rest. When he heard his words, he glanced over and said, "If you like it, take it."
…
Bai Yeqing returned to the Presidential Palace. Xia Dabai was taking a bath in the children's bathroom, humming a little song, looking particularly happy.
He went in and stood by the door, looking at Xia Dabai for a long time. This kid was so happy, he had no idea how much his Dabao had suffered for him last night.
"Dad." Xia Dabai turned around, saw him, and called out crisply.
The servant who was bathing him realized it later and stood up respectfully. He only said to Xia Dabai: "Come out after the bath, I have something to tell you."
… … …
Bai Yeqing was sitting in the study, flipping through documents. His cell phone was right next to him. It was already past 7 o'clock, and his cell phone hadn't rung yet. He had just dialed the number on his landline, but it was still turned off.
He glanced at the quiet phone, feeling a little anxious.
"Xiaobai." After taking a shower, Xia Dabai opened the door and came in with his wet little head.
He frowned, "Why don't you blow dry your hair? It's so cold."
"Don't you have something to ask me? It's not too late to blow dry your hair after you ask." He ran to his side with a few steps, shaking his round little head playfully, splashing all the water droplets on him. Bai Yeqing grabbed him and said, "Let someone blow dry your hair. I'll take you to your mother."
It's so late, she should be at home.
"Go find Dabao now?" Xia Dabai shook his head. "Dabao told me to stay at your place for the next few days and not to come over."
"Why?" Bai Yeqing didn't understand. Last night, he felt once again how important the child was to her, and he felt it very deeply. How could she bear to leave the child with him
"Don't you know?" Xia Dabai stared at him with his big eyes, "Dabao is on a business trip to Country Y!"
Bai Yeqing's face darkened, "When did you go?"
"..." Xia Dabai shook his head, "I don't know. But she called me here in the afternoon. She should still be sleeping now. She said she would sleep for a long time today."
She actually went to Country Y like this? Without saying a word!
"Give me her phone number."
Xia Dabai spread his hands helplessly, "It's a temporary public phone, so I can't contact her!"
Someone's face suddenly became worse.
There is an 8-hour time difference between Country Y and Country S. She is probably still suffering from the jet lag.
… … … …
Xia Xingchen did not sleep very well that day. The next day, when the sky outside the window was completely bright, she was awakened by a knock on the door.
He tidied himself up casually and ran to open the door. Yu Zenan was standing outside.
"What's up so early in the morning?" Xia Xingchen yawned lazily, still looking sleepy. She was wearing a light blue silk pajamas, which was very conservative, but in Yu Zenan's eyes, this lazy look was... very feminine, very sexy, and very... attractive.
"Hey! Are you stupid?" Seeing that he didn't move, Xia Xingchen waved in front of him.
Yu Zenan suddenly came back to his senses and coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment. He deliberately raised his voice and shouted: "You are my translator, how can you be like this? I've already gotten up, but you're still sleeping in bed! Come downstairs and have breakfast with me."
Xia Xingchen muttered. This person is really, he obviously knows several languages, but he still wants her to come and keep him company!
