When she brought the dumplings to the restaurant, he was already sitting there, looking down at something. It was all written in words she couldn't understand, like an Arabic document.
After taking a shower, his chestnut hair was still a little wet. He was wearing a white pajamas that covered his chest, so no wounds could be seen. However, his whole body was refreshed and sexy after taking a shower.
It feels very clean.
Xia Xingchen came closer, brought the dumplings to him, and added some sauce. After a pause, he reminded him, "Your wound hasn't healed completely yet, so the sauce is a bit lighter, just bear with it."
Bai Yeqing hummed, put down the document, and took the chopsticks to taste the dumplings. He had only tasted them a few times in his life, so he still felt it was quite fresh. Moreover, her cooking skills were really good, so his appetite was also very good.
Seeing that he was enjoying the food and not being picky, Xia Xingchen felt relieved. "Take your time eating. I'll go upstairs first."
As he said that, he was about to leave. Bai Yeqing glanced at her and said, "Don't you have anything special you want to tell me?"
"Ah?" Xia Xingchen turned around. His sudden words made her a little confused.
Bai Yeqing picked up the dumplings and dipped them into the sauce. Even this action was indescribably elegant.
He looked up at her. "Last night he told me he had something to thank me for, but then he didn't follow up. What was it?"
Xia Xingchen shook his head, "It's nothing, actually."
He put down his chopsticks and said, "Go on."
“I’m back working at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.”
He knows it better than anyone else.
"so what?"
"So, in a few days I plan to thank my friends who helped me get back to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Bai Yeqing raised his eyebrows. A thank you in action is naturally more anticipated than a thank you in words. His expression suddenly brightened up. "Thank you is what I should do. But how do you plan to thank me? When do you plan to thank me?"
"Maybe in seven days. I plan to treat you to a meal, or, if conditions permit, cook for you myself to show my sincerity."
Bai Yeqing nodded in agreement, "Well, it's a good idea to cook for you personally. Let's set it for dinner time in seven days!"
Xia Xingchen looked at him in confusion and said "Oh" in a muffled voice.
I feel strange in my heart.
He has been lukewarm towards her these past few days, so why is he acting out of character today and is in the mood to talk to her about these things? Moreover, he is willing to give her advice
"Okay, go upstairs and have a rest." Bai Yeqing let her go. She didn't say anything else and went upstairs with doubts.
Downstairs, in the restaurant, Bai Yeqing just felt that the dumplings in front of him tasted even better.
Seven days later, dinner.
It should be pretty good.
… … … …
Seven days later.
weekend.
Yu Zenan called her at around 6 o'clock in the morning and asked her to go to Gomus Stadium.
She went straight into the kitchen early.
Bai Yeqing changed his clothes and went downstairs to the restaurant. Xia Dabai was already sitting at the table like a gentleman, waiting for the two adults.
"Where's Xia Xingchen?"
He sat down, spread the napkin elegantly on his legs, and asked his son.
"The housekeeper said Dabao is in the kitchen."
"Kitchen?" Bai Yeqing glanced at the housekeeper beside him, "What is she busy with in the kitchen so early in the morning?"
"Miss Xia said she wanted to thank a benefactor in the evening, so she has already started preparing. She got up really early, at around 6 o'clock."
"Really?" Bai Yeqing raised his eyebrows. "Go and ask her to come out. It's just a dinner. There's no need to be so serious."
"Okay." The butler went to the kitchen himself.
Xia Dabai tilted his head and looked at him, "Dad, you seem to be in a good mood today."
"Not bad." He cut a piece of chicken breast and placed it on the plate in front of Xia Dabai.
Xia Dabai felt flattered. How happy must he be
"You look so happy..." His eyes rolled around, "Is Dabao preparing dinner for you?"
"Who else could it be?" A certain president felt very good about himself.
Just as the father and son were chatting, Xia Xingchen hurried out of the kitchen, carrying large and small bags in his hands.
"Dabao, it's time to eat." Xia Dabai called her with his head tilted.
"I have an appointment with someone for breakfast, so I'm running out of time." Xia Xingchen walked into the restaurant and kissed her son on the head. "Goodbye, be good and obedient at home."
After saying that, without even glancing at the President sitting opposite him, he hurried away with his things.
Looking at her back, Xia Dabai exclaimed, "Ah!" "Our Dabao must have gone on a date. Xiaobai, did you notice that she has dressed up specially today?"
Bai Yeqing saw it without the little guy reminding him.
It's such a cold day, but she actually wore a skirt. Isn't she afraid of catching a cold
Bai Yeqing suddenly remembered something, put down the tableware, turned around and told the butler: "Call Leng Fei in."
"Yes, sir."
After a while, Leng Fei hurried in from outside.
"What was the original schedule for this morning?"
"Originally, you were scheduled to play with Mr. Mayne from Italy at the Gomus Stadium, but your health..."
Having said that, Leng Fei lowered his voice and glanced at his chest.
"No need to change the schedule. Tell Mr. Mayne to be at the stadium on time."
"But, your injury..." Leng Fei lowered his voice, whispered in his ear, and added: "And we haven't had time to clear the area yet."
"No need to clear the area, just stay in Gomus. Just strengthen the precautions."
"Yes." The president was firm in his attitude, so Leng Fei naturally couldn't say anything more. He stepped back, notified the others to prepare quickly, and then sent people to the Gomus Stadium to deploy security personnel.
… … …
When Xia Xingchen arrived at the Gomus Golf Course, a staff member immediately led her in after hearing her name.
She handed the food in her hand to the other party for safekeeping.
"The Second Young Master is already waiting for you in the restaurant. Please follow me."
Second Young Master
Xia Xingchen was more and more certain that her grandmother was really confused. The "Second Young Master" that others respectfully called could not be just an ordinary middle school teacher.
This restaurant is upscale and luxurious, quiet and not crowded.
Yu Zenan was wearing a deep V-neck sweater and camel-colored trousers. It was a simple outfit, but it was very youthful and eye-catching. He sat in the middle of the restaurant.
Although she had never been here, she had heard of the Gomus Stadium during her time working in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This kind of place was not something that could be entered just by having money.
Even a high-ranking official like her father was not qualified.
Being able to come here is a symbol of status.
"Here!" Yu Zenan also noticed her, put down the cutlery in his hand, and waved to her enthusiastically.
Xia Xingchen walked over slowly.
A waiter in the restaurant had already pulled out a chair next to him for her, and she sat down as he said.
"morning."
"It's been a long time since we last met. You look better today than last time." Yu Zenan praised.
Her eyes swept over Xia Xingchen, scrutinizing him from top to bottom. If it were someone else, this look would be particularly annoying, but he looked so cynical and lazy that it was hard to hate him.
"Master Yu, your mouth is so sweet this morning, did you just eat honey?"
