After a long while, he said, "This matter is over now. I won't investigate it anymore. You don't have to worry about it anymore."
"Why?"
"..." He let go of his hand, and his eyes casually fell to the front. After a while, he said: "She is not from our Bai family."
Xia Xingchen was surprised for a moment, but he didn't expect this.
"Isn't the madam's child your uncle's?"
He didn't answer, but just said: "You don't have to take this matter to heart in the future. Whether it can be found out or not, and what the result is, it's all a matter of fate."
"But, Madam is really pitiful. If you..."
"I'm busy." Bai Yeqing gave her three words directly.
What Xia Xingchen was about to say was cut off. Finally, she muttered, "Forget it. You're not the only one investigating anyway. Yu Zenan should be able to find out soon too."
"Isn't the madam's child your uncle's?"
He didn't answer, but just said: "You don't have to take this matter to heart in the future. Whether it can be found out or not, and what the result is, it's all a matter of fate."
"But, Madam is really pitiful. If you..."
"I'm busy." Bai Yeqing gave her three words directly, rejecting her decisively and directly.
What Xia Xingchen wanted to say was stuck in her throat. In the end, she just nodded in dismay and muttered softly: "Forget it, you are not the only one investigating anyway, Yu Zenan should be able to find out soon too."
Bai Yeqing glanced at her sideways, "What did you say?"
"Nothing." Xia Xingchen quickly shook his head, not daring to mention the word 'Yu Zenan' in front of him again.
Fortunately, Xia Dabai came back at this time. Bai Yeqing did not ask any more questions, rested for a while, and drove back on the road.
… … … … …
That evening.
Xia Xingchen was brought back to the Presidential Palace by him. Probably because they had been apart for 10 days, the longing mixed with the passion became particularly intense.
However, he actually prepared condoms. Moreover, not just a few, but a whole box.
Xia Xingchen was frightened by the gesture and asked him breathlessly, "Why did you buy so much?"
"I'll carry it with me from now on. I don't have to buy it on the spur of the moment wherever I go. But this box won't last long."
"..." She really wanted to fall asleep. She understood the implication of his words. In the days to come, she would probably have to let him torture her from time to time.
"… The old lady said that she wanted me to have another child. What about you? In the future, if we really get married, do you want a son or a daughter?"
Hearing her question, Bai Yeqing's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but increase his strength. Finally, he said solemnly: "Having Dabai is enough, there is no need for a second one."
She was stunned.
I didn't expect him to answer like this.
Before, when the old lady mentioned the topic of children, he was obviously very interested and kept cooperating with the old lady's words.
"I thought you wanted other children too..." Xia Xingchen looked at him in confusion.
"When doing something like this, you still have time to think about other things. It seems that I haven't done enough for you to concentrate." Bai Yeqing's voice was low and hoarse, with danger in his eyes. The next moment, he turned her over.
She snorted. Then, her mind went blank, all her rationality flew away, and in her body and mind, there was only this man left...
When she was thrown into the clouds and almost fainted, her fingertips suddenly felt cold. Something was gently put on her ring finger.
She was startled, then she regained her senses and became a little more sober.
She stared at the ring on her finger with blurry eyes, her heart was in turmoil and tears welled up in her eyes.
It turned out that he had already prepared for this. When did he prepare for it? She had no idea.
"Xingchen, marry me." Bai Yeqing hugged her, kissed her in the ear, and whispered.
There was no fancy proposal ceremony, no flowers, no kneeling, and even no sweet words that a proposal should have. However, Xia Xingchen felt indescribably moved.
She turned over and met his eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes. "So many women are lining up to marry you, why... did you choose me?"
Bai Yeqing looked deep in his eyes. He did not answer but asked, "Xu Yan and Yu Zenan were both pursuing you, why did you choose me?"
Xia Xingchen smiled.
"Yes, you are domineering, rude, inconsiderate, have a bad temper, are deep-minded, and are a dull person. Why did I choose you?"
Not only was he not angry, he let her say this, his eyes even more emotional, "What about you? You are indecisive, not brave enough, not firm enough, and when you are depressed, you are even worse than me."
As he spoke, his long fingers moved from her forehead down, touched the tip of her nose, and finally, landed on her pink lips.
Xia Xingchen bit his fingertips in pretended anger, and he spoke again: "But... I just want you like this, and only you."
The last sentence was spoken solemnly. Every word created ripples in her heart, making her feel uneasy.
They were clearly talking about each other's shortcomings, but there were sweet bubbles in the air.
yes.
Love is usually so unreasonable! Obviously each other has many shortcomings, and obviously both can see them clearly, but when you love someone, even his shortcomings will become real and cute.
"Will you marry me?" Bai Yeqing asked her again, pressing her under him and hugging her tightly.
His eyes are full of love.
Xia Xingchen's eyes were filled with emotion, and when she smiled, they sparkled like a beautiful rainbow, adorning her eyes. She put her arm around his neck and said softly, "Didn't you say that I have no human rights and can only marry you?"
"Now you are given the right to choose, marry or not?"
Of course, if she dared to say she would not marry, her human rights would be basically taken away. Therefore, there can only be one answer.
Xia Xingchen did not answer, but used actions to replace the answer. She raised her head and took the initiative to kiss the man's lips.
This man, she thought, she no longer had the ability to reject him...
… … … … …
The whole night, the room was filled with tenderness and love. Love had already taken root between them, growing deeper and deeper. He was a stubborn person. If there were some things he wanted, he would never waver, let alone let go.
The next day.
Xia Xingchen drove to work, accompanied by Ruigang. Looking at the ring on her finger, she felt that the morning air had become very fresh and pleasant, and she felt indescribably good.
Ruigang also saw the ring and congratulated her.
