The presiding judge banged the gavel. "So, you admit that you were the one who drugged me?"
Li Ling's expression changed again and again. She never thought that she would fall into a trap. She also didn't understand why her daughter suddenly changed sides. She looked at her precious daughter sadly, but Xia Xingkong just turned his back to her with a trembling face.
It must be Bai Yeqing!
They must have done something!
She gritted her teeth and said, "Even if it's not a sex with a woman, but... Mr. President spending money to buy an 18-year-old girl's belly is also immoral!"
"Do you have any evidence to directly prove that the President had a surrogate mother?" the presiding judge continued to ask.
Li Ling was in a dilemma. It was obvious that she could not produce accurate evidence. After all, the person who came to her was not the President himself, and the other party had been doing it without leaving any traces for so many years. It was almost impossible for her to find evidence that directly pointed to the President.
Li Ling said, "I am the key figure in this matter. My confession is the evidence! And the child they left behind is the evidence that no one can refute! If Mr. President is not guilty, I suggest doing a DNA test and making it public! Mr. President, do you dare?"
The last sentence was a question. She stared at Bai Yeqing steadily. At this moment, she had already given up.
Through her words, everyone's eyes fell on Mr. President. As soon as Li Ling found the child, this matter was indeed irrefutable.
"No need to do any paternity test..." Bai Yeqing finally spoke under everyone's expectation. He straightened his body, still looking calm and composed, and looked straight ahead calmly, "The child is indeed mine!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was shocked.
Reporters immediately started typing away on their computers, and some supporters even cried in disappointment.
Bai Yeqing ignored everyone's emotions and continued, "I am very grateful to Miss Xia Xingkong for being willing to testify for me and prove that it was not me who drugged and raped Xingchen. However, I must correct you-"
His gaze was directed towards Xia Xingkong, sharp and serious, "She is clean and has never been abused by anyone! The child does not belong to any other man, but to me, Bai Yeqing."
Every word is powerful, expressing both trust and protection.
Xia Xingkong was frightened by that look. Originally, he said those words according to Lan Ye's words in order to help the President get away with it. However, he didn't expect that he had no such plan at all. Instead, he was just protecting Xia Xingchen.
How can people not be jealous of her?!
Because of his words, Xia Xingchen's eyes were covered with a thin layer of mist, and her chest was filled with a warm current of emotion.
Even at this moment, when he was in danger, he was still defending himself with every word.
How could she leave this man
But…
Can they still hold on
"Originally, I should have announced the existence of my child to you all earlier, but... Please understand the feelings of a father. I don't want my child's childhood to be wasted under the attention of all parties, nor do I want him to be involved in various disputes or dangers because of me. As for the child's mother..." Bai Yeqing continued to speak, his voice calm. The entire venue, which was originally in an uproar, now gradually and magically quieted down.
His gaze fell on Xia Xingchen. His eyes were deep and complex, yet contained strong emotions, as if anyone present at this moment was no longer important.
She was the only one left in his world.
Xia Xingchen also kept looking at him steadily.
The two people's eyes were glued together, and the deep affection even infected the people around them. Just looking at the two people far away, I felt a little sad for some reason.
After a long while, the man's thin lips moved, and he finally spoke slowly: "For the past five years, I have always owed you an 'I'm sorry', and now I really have the chance..."
"No!" Xia Xingchen shook her head, tears accumulated in her eyes suddenly rolled out, unable to be suppressed. Wetting her haggard face, "You are not sorry for me, I volunteered..."
Xia Xingchen spoke eagerly, turned her head, and looked at the presiding judge with tears in her eyes, "Your Honor, I volunteered! I volunteered to bear a child for him! I love him... I believe that it is every woman's dream to have a child for a man you love deeply. What's more, this man I love deeply is Mr. President, there is no reason for me to be forced by him to bear this child!"
As if trying hard to prove the true feelings between the two people, Xia Xingchen emphasized every word he spoke.
She looked at Bai Yeqing. After hearing what she said, Bai Yeqing suddenly smiled. At that moment, it seemed that the current situation was not serious at all.
Before the presiding judge could speak, he smiled and said, "Miss Xia, you must be responsible to me for saying such things in front of so many people."
There was a joking tone, and a doting tone. All of a sudden, the originally solemn occasion became much more relaxed. Everyone present smiled knowingly.
A woman who expresses her feelings so boldly is actually very cute.
And... the look in Mr. President's eyes when he looked at her was so warm!
That kind of warmth, like a ray of warm sunshine in the deep winter, exists only for her, making people intoxicated and envious...
How lucky are you to be loved by the President
Xia Xingchen stared at him with tearful eyes, anxious and angry, her face flushed. At this time, how could he still have the leisure to joke with him
Although she was glaring at him, in front of everyone, it looked more like she was acting like a spoiled child. So natural, without a trace of pretense. Even a blind person could see the real and strong friendship between the two of them.
Bai Yeqing smiled slightly, charming to the extreme.
As everyone was puzzled, he slowly stood up and suddenly walked towards Xia Xingchen. Everyone followed his figure, including Xia Xingchen.
He walked to her side and paused.
Then, his gaze fell on the crowd.
The eyes are gentle.
"In the past, one of the questions you reporters liked to ask the most was about the future First Lady - now, I can give you the answer!" He spoke in a deep voice, and held Xia Xingchen's hand tightly with his big palm, interlocking his ten fingers.
The thickness and warmth of the man's palm suddenly hit her. She was startled and immediately realized what he wanted to say. A huge surprise rushed into her heart. However, the next moment, thinking of their identities, panic and uneasiness suddenly spread and she looked at him tightly.
She flinched, but he held her fingers tightly.
He raised their hands, revealing the ring on his ring finger, and said, "I have proposed to her, and we will be married soon."
