Such a caring word made both of them feel flattered. They looked at each other, very excited.
"You too." Lan Ting stepped forward, held her hand and patted it, "Don't worry, Dabai will be fine. Your father..."
At this point, Lan Ting sighed again. Fearing that she might be disgusted, he changed his words and said, "Qing Rang will save the child."
Xia Xingchen's eyes were filled with tears. She could sense the cautiousness and sincere expectation of the two people who were already over fifty years old in front of her.
Her heart was not made of stone. Besides, as a mother herself, she understood the pain in her heart better.
only…
"Thank you." She sniffed, and then, her eyes wandered over the haggard faces of both of them, and then she said: "I know you are looking forward to it, but... I hope you can give me some time to slowly adapt..."
Even though it was just this, these words were a great encouragement to the two elders, and made them very happy.
Xia Xingchen saw the two of them off and stood there in a daze for a long time. Only when the cars in front and behind disappeared into the dark winter did she turn around and go upstairs again.
When I passed the nurses' station, I could hear a few young nurses whispering from afar.
"That child turned out to be the President's child, and that young woman is the child's mother!"
"Mr. President, your children are already this big? That means... Mr. President has actually been married for a long time?"
"Then last time he had sex in the car with someone, and then he held a century wedding with Miss Song, could it be that they were actually having an extramarital affair?"
"Oh my god, Mr. President is such a hypocrite? I thought he was clean and definitely not the kind of messy man, that's why I supported him so much! Am I blind again?"
The word "hypocrite" made Xia Xingchen feel a little pain in his heart.
"And..." someone lowered his voice, "When I went to change the dressing for the child, I heard the lady say that the child's mother called Mr. Bai 'father'. What kind of messed up relationship is this!"
"No way? Did you hear it wrong? He is the President's uncle. If the mother of the child calls him 'father', then her relationship with the President is..."
"Cousin!" Someone exclaimed, then immediately covered his mouth, looking unbelievable, "Isn't it possible?"
"If that's true, then it's incest! It's dirty just to think about it, okay? They want me to be with my cousin... Tsk tsk ~ how can they bear it?" The man crossed his arms, sneered exaggeratedly, and shook his head in disgust.
"I think you must have heard it wrong! I don't believe the President is that kind of person! Incest is no small crime!"
Xia Xingchen stood there, listening to every word they said, like a needle piercing her heart. It was as if a heavy rock was pressing down on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.
She wanted to yell something to refute these people, but after moving her lips, she didn't say a word.
She walked through the nurses' station with a stern face, heading for the ward. Her hands hung at her sides, tightly clenched into fists, and her lower lip was almost white from being bitten.
The young nurses didn't expect her to appear here suddenly and were shocked. They looked at each other, covered their mouths, held their breath, and there was panic on their faces.
Xia Xingchen took two steps forward, but couldn't help herself and turned back to look at them. Her eyes were sharp and cold.
Everyone was shocked by her gaze, and cold sweat broke out on their backs. They all lowered their heads, not daring to meet her eyes.
"He is not what you say he is! He is not a hypocrite, nor is he dirty!" Xia Xingchen couldn't help but defend him, "He and I are clean and honest, and we follow our hearts. What's dirty about that?"
Everyone looked at each other, not daring to reply, and finally, they had to squeeze out the person who spoke first. That person looked pale and hesitant, "I'm sorry, Miss Xia... We... We were just bored and got together to talk nonsense, please don't bother with us."
Xia Xingchen didn't say anything else, turned around and went back to the ward, his face pale.
He closed the door, leaned against it, took a deep breath, and then he suppressed the surging emotions in his heart.
"Why did you take so long?" Bai Yeqing was looking through Dabai's pathology records. He looked up when he heard the noise at the door. He saw the paleness on her face and frowned slightly.
Xia Xingchen raised her head and met his gaze. His deep look almost brought out all the emotions that had just been suppressed in her heart.
Those words just now were obviously the voices that would appear in the future. These were just a few people, but she was already heartbroken for him...
So, what about the future
She suddenly couldn't imagine it.
I dare not think about what he will have to bear in the future.
"What happened?" Bai Yeqing stood up and walked towards her.
Xia Xingchen pulled the corners of his lips forcefully, shook his head, and calmly changed the subject, "Where's Dabai? Is he asleep already?"
His eyes were always sharp, Xia Xingchen didn't dare to look at him again, she just slightly turned sideways to pass by him. His big hand had already grabbed her arm, and with just a little force, he pulled her back.
"What are you hiding from?"
"I'm going to see Baymax."
Bai Yeqing put his long arms around her waist and held it tightly, so she couldn't move.
"I've made myself clear. You can look at it however you want."
Xia Xingchen knew that she couldn't hide it from him. She met his eyes and felt a slight soreness in her nose. "Ye Qing, are you really not afraid at all?"
She held onto his strong arms, moved her lips, and told him the words she had just heard outside. As if she was afraid that he would be sad, she added: "I know you are not what they say, not a hypocrite, and there is nothing dirty between us..."
"You're just worried about me?" I thought Bai Yeqing would be furious, but he just looked at her with burning eyes. His emotions didn't fluctuate much.
"Of course." Xia Xingchen recalled what Li Ming had said, and her eyelashes trembled, "I'm afraid I will leave you with nothing..."
If this matter were really disclosed, the foreseeable outcome would be disgrace and disgrace.
"This is a democratic society. Those people can say whatever they want. Besides, things may finally turn around." His last sentence was full of mystery and there was obviously something profound in his words.
Xia Xingchen didn't understand what the so-called "bright future after dark" meant. Now, it seemed like they were walking in a dead end alley with no exit. How could there be light
Bai Yeqing did not explain, his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and whispered: "Everything you said to those people outside just now was correct, but there was one sentence that was wrong, and it was a bit wrong."
