Xia Xingchen took his time taking a shower and came out of the bathroom. The two, one big and one small, had calmed down.
After going through so many things all day, Xia Dabai was not only frightened, but also tired from crying. Now that he was sleeping on the bed with them, he finally felt at ease, so he fell asleep immediately. He slept soundly.
Bai Yeqing covered him with a blanket and tucked his exposed little hands inside, but he didn't notice at all.
She stood at the door of the bathroom, looking at the two people, one big and one small, under the light, and felt that the years were peaceful and the room was full of warmth.
At that moment, she wished time would stop at this moment forever.
"What are you daydreaming about?" After tucking the quilt into the child, Bai Yeqing looked up and lowered his voice.
She came back to her senses and shook her head. She lifted the curtains and looked out the window. The snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, but she was a little confused, not knowing what was waiting for her tomorrow.
She huddled into the quilt, held in his arms.
"How are you injured? Just now... were you sprained?" Xia Xingchen's face was still red when she thought about what happened just now.
He just said lightly, "It's okay."
"Let Dr. Fu come back tomorrow to take a look."
"Yeah." Bai Yeqing held her and the child in his arms, and kissed her forehead lightly with his sexy thin lips, "You're tired after a day, go to sleep."
She leaned on his chest, listening to his heartbeat and breathing. The uneasiness in her heart gradually dissipated, and her heart felt much calmer.
… … … …
the other side.
Airport.
Covered with snow.
Yu Zenan appeared at the airport wearing a windbreaker and gloves. On such a night, his appearance and face made women stop and stare.
After a while, Mrs. Lanting came out of the VIP channel from a distance, followed by her assistant and secretary. Yu Zenan ran up, took off his windbreaker, and put it on Mrs. Lanting's shoulders.
Lan Ting glanced at him and said, "You are wearing so little, and you still care about me."
"Young people are more resistant to cold weather, and you have never been in good health. It is snowing heavily here today, and it is very cold outside."
Lan Ting did not refuse, but took Yu Zenan's hand, and the two walked out of the airport together.
"Would you like to stay in a hotel tonight, or do you want me to take you somewhere?"
Lan Ting looked at the time. It was already late at night. After thinking for a while, he said, "Let's stay in a hotel first. It's so late, and we won't disturb them anymore."
Yu Zenan nodded, opened the car door, and let his wife get in first. The car had been heated in advance. Lan Ting took off his windbreaker and put it in the back seat. He glanced at Yu Zenan, thought of Xingchen, thought of Ye Qing, and suddenly felt very worried.
"I thought you would be very happy knowing that Xingchen is your daughter. But, looking at your expression..." Yu Zenan started the car and spoke while looking at Madam Lanting's expression.
Madam Lanting sighed.
You should be happy.
only…
Instead of answering, he asked, "Have you contacted Xingchen today?"
"After you called me, I wanted to find out what was going on over there, but she didn't answer the phone. Then I called again, but couldn't get through."
Lan Ting nodded, said nothing more, and looked out the window. Yu Zenan could see that she was in a complicated mood, so he didn't ask any more questions. All the way, he drove to the King Hotel, where he had booked a room for her long ago.
"Zenan." Just when he thought the lady would never speak again, she suddenly turned around and looked at him.
"Um?"
"I really like you. You are a good child, simple and kind, and considerate and gentlemanly." Mrs. Lanting's words were true, and every word was praise. When he was studying in Country M, Mrs. Lanting was in poor health and fainted on the street. Thanks to his help, she was not in danger of death. Later, the two met again by chance at a political event. He was generous and childlike. Regardless of how solemn the atmosphere was, he smiled and waved to her from a distance. Mrs. Lanting looked at this bright and sunny young man and liked him in her heart, just like looking at her own son. Later, she lent him her empty villa to live in. After a few visits, they became more and more familiar with each other. He was also a grateful person. Over the years, he had always respected her, and the two of them were as close as a family.
Yu Zenan raised his eyebrows arrogantly, his eyes full of smiles, "Madam, you have to praise me every time you see me."
Lan Ting also laughed, "I said before that when I find my daughter, I will marry her to you... I never said that. Now my daughter is Xingchen, Zenan, are you willing to marry her?"
Yu Zenan knew that Madam Lanting was asking him seriously.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Of course she's willing to marry me, but that's not important. What's important is that she won't be willing to marry me at all."
Yu Zenan was a little embarrassed, "You may not know yet, she has already..."
When she was about to say the words "gave birth to Bai Yeqing's child", she stopped herself and did not continue.
He had promised Xia Xingchen not to tell anyone about this, so he kept it to himself. One day, the Madam would have to know about it.
"What already?" asked Mrs. Lanting.
"I heard that she is going to marry Bai Yeqing. We talked on the phone before, and she said... it will only take a day or two to get the certificate." Yu Zenan's voice was a little lower.
"marry?"
"Yeah," Yu Zenan nodded.
"No! They can't get married!" Mrs. Lanting was a little agitated, and she couldn't help but sit up straighter than before.
Yu Zenan turned around suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?"
Madam Lanting seemed to realize that her reaction was a bit too extreme. She took a breath and continued to ask, "Does the Bai family know that they are getting married?"
"I'm not sure about this. She didn't mention it to me."
She nodded and didn't ask any more questions. It seemed that she had to go to Zhongshan early tomorrow morning to have a good talk with the Bai family.
… … … …
Zhongshan.
At this moment, the old man and the old lady were lying on the bed, and the old lady sighed repeatedly. In the past, if she wanted to have a beauty sleep, she would have fallen asleep by now, but today, she just couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard she tried.
The old man was also very upset. "He tossed and turned like a pancake, deliberately not letting me sleep."
"I'm just feeling depressed." The old lady simply sat up and said, "I was wondering why I felt that Xingchen was attractive to me. Who would have thought that she was actually the biological daughter of the second son?"
The old man remained silent.
"Grandpa, tell me... if his second uncle knew that we paid Xingchen to give us a grandson, would he be against us?"
When the matter was mentioned, the old man actually felt guilty, but he still bluffed and rebuked: "This happened so long ago, why are you bringing it up now! At that time, would you still know that she was the second son's daughter?"
