"..." Her words pierced Xia Xingchen. Her nose felt sour, her eyes narrowed, and she took back her hot tears. She only said: "We have decided that even if we are cousins, we still want to be together..."
"What a joke!" Yu Zenan thought such persistence was ridiculous. "If the two of you really insist on being together, then my brother will win easily. Bai Yeqing will fall with just a little trick."
Xia Xingchen clenched his hands on his knees, his fingertips digging into his flesh.
"Isn't this what you two want most?"
"That's exactly what my brother wants! However, if this happens, Bai Yeqing will be the first president in the history of our country S to be impeached and removed from office because of this kind of gossip scandal! What will history books say about him in the future? I'm afraid that what future generations will remember about him will have nothing to do with his political achievements, but only these scandals."
Every word Yu Zenan spoke was true, but it hurt Xia Xingchen's heart and brain nerves.
"Just stop by, I'll eat here." She spoke, cutting off Yu Zenan's words, unwilling to listen any more. It seemed that as long as she didn't listen, nothing would happen, and he would be fine.
"Right here?" Yu Zenan pointed at the food stall with a rather bad environment.
"If you are busy, please go first." Xia Xingchen took off his seat belt and got out of the car without saying anything.
Yu Zenan parked the car on the side of the road. Aston Martin always attracts people's attention. As soon as the two of them appeared at the food stall, the boss came up to them eagerly and asked them to sit down.
Xia Xingchen was very used to such a place. She looked at the menu quietly, occasionally tapping the menu lightly. Yu Zenan stood behind her, looking at her back, and ordered wine. Obviously, this kind of food stall would not have high-end wine, so he just ordered beer.
At first, Xia Xingchen just ate the food and didn't even touch the wine.
But in the end, the depression in her heart almost suffocated her, and she needed to vent, so she didn't care about anything, and the two of them got drunk.
… … … … …
the other side.
Lan Ye was applying a facial mask in the room. Thinking of Xia Xingchen, his brows were tightly furrowed.
Bai Yeqing was really out of his mind, that's why he has reached this point, and he still insisted on being with Xia Xingchen. Xia Xingchen could be selfish, could be so cruel, and not afraid of destroying him, but she couldn't. She couldn't bear to watch Bai Yeqing set himself on fire.
But how can she convince Bai Yeqing to change his mind? She couldn't come forward. Could she persuade her aunt to come forward
Lan Ye sighed.
The aunt was probably reluctant to separate the newly-recognized daughter from the couple.
Just when she was struggling with all kinds of issues, her cell phone suddenly rang.
"Miss."
The person who called was the driver who had sent Xia Xingchen back home from the Lan family.
"Are you still watching her?" Lan Ye asked while patting his face. She was actually helpless. Now she could only have someone keep an eye on Xia Xingchen to see if there was any chance to separate her and Bai Yeqing.
"Still. Miss Xia and the second young master of the Yu family are drunk. They are both lying on the table unconscious."
Lan Ye snorted, "Xia Xingchen is really amazing. When Ye Qing was on a visit, she..."
At this point, Lan Ye suddenly paused. An idea suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Miss?" Not hearing her continue, the driver asked, "Miss, are you okay? Do I still need to keep an eye on her now?"
"Watch! Watch closely! Tell me your location now and I'll be there right away!"
Some things have to be done by herself. If others do it, she will inevitably worry that it is not done well enough.
The driver didn't know what was going on, so he just nodded and waited for Lan Ye to come over.
… … … … …
Xia Xingchen was in a bad mood and drank without restraint. Later, he and Yu Zenan had a drinking contest. He was already drunk, and relying on the strength of the alcohol, he had a drinking contest without any other thoughts. In the end, both of them were drunk and unconscious.
One night passed.
The winter morning light shines into the room through the curtains.
The alarm on the cell phone placed aside kept ringing.
Xia Xingchen's head hurt so much that it felt like it was about to explode. He didn't want to wake up, so he grabbed his phone and turned off the ringing sound.
Keep sleeping.
But within a few minutes, the alarm rang again.
"Who is this? It's so annoying..." An irritated voice sounded, and then an arm passed over her head, grabbed the phone, and threw it directly to the ground. After a loud 'bang', the ringing finally stopped.
Only then can I finally feel peace.
The two of them pulled up the quilt at the same time and crawled into the bed contentedly, planning to have a good sleep.
But, the next moment...
"ah!!"
"ah!!"
The simultaneous screams once again broke the tranquility of the early morning. The two people, who were completely unconscious due to the hangover just now, sat up with a somersault.
"Why are you here?" Xia Xingchen stared at the man in front of him!
Yu Zenan!
The question is, why was he in his room
Yu Zenan was also fully awake. He glanced at her and his face turned red. He turned his back and said, "You... put on your clothes first."
Xia Xingchen looked down at herself, and her face flushed red. Her coat had been taken off, leaving her in a shirt. The shirt was also in a mess, with several buttons undone. Her underwear was almost exposed.
He is not much better.
He didn't even have a shirt on.
"You should get dressed too!" she said, and hurriedly buttoned up her clothes and put on her coat. Then, she fixed her hair and forced herself to calm down.
At this moment, Yu Zenan had already put on his shirt.
Two people, one on each side of the bed.
Xia Xingchen hugged a pillow and moved out. Yu Zenan also moved to the other side.
Awkward.
The atmosphere in the whole room became extremely awkward.
The two of them, back to back, looked around the room. At this moment, both of them knew that this was not their home at all, but a hotel.
Small hotel.
"Ahem." Yu Zenan coughed dryly, breaking the silence in the room. "You..."
"Nothing happened between us last night." Xia Xingchen spoke first. Although she was drunk and blacked out last night, a girl's body can definitely feel whether something happened or not. She didn't feel any discomfort.
"Ah, that's good." Yu Zenan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard her words, turned around, and felt much more relaxed. "I was saying, I'm drunk as a dead fish, how could I still have the energy to do that with you, right?"
