But the next moment, the man said quietly: "Feed it in a different way."
Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and after half a second, he reacted.
Oops.
You can't just... let her feed it with her mouth, right
He looked at her sideways, his eyebrows raised, and his eyes clearly said that she guessed right. Her little face suddenly turned red.
She was thin-skinned, so she naturally couldn't do it. Besides, the servants and the housekeeper were here.
She pursed her lips and took the spoon back awkwardly. She squatted beside the sofa, scooping the dessert and eating it bite by bite. The young wife looked like a child who had done something wrong.
Bai Yeqing didn't force it. He took the remote control beside him and changed the TV channels.
After a while...
The two of them still didn't speak. The atmosphere was stuffy, and Xia Xingchen was very depressed, but he seemed to be watching TV with great interest, just like nothing happened. This made her even more depressed.
She finished the dessert, put the spoon down and tried to stand up.
But because he had been squatting for too long, his legs were numb. His body softened and he fell back onto the carpet, hitting his chin heavily on the low table.
"It hurts so much..." She groaned, and a sour and hot feeling surged out of her eyes.
Before she could recover from the shock, the next moment, her body was picked up by a pair of strong long arms and she was sitting on the man's lap.
"Take your hands away and let me see!"
Bai Yeqing frowned.
Xia Xingchen sniffed, "Aren't you ignoring me? Why are you still caring about me..."
He glanced at her, but didn't answer her directly. He just pushed away her hand that was holding his chin. Seeing the red spot, his brows furrowed even deeper. He pinched her little face, lifted her chin and examined it carefully again, staring at her, "It's red, it will definitely turn purple tomorrow."
That look made her feel extremely wronged. Even after such a mess, he was unwilling to show her a good face, even if it was to comfort her!
"Wrap the hot eggs in a handkerchief and bring them here." Bai Yeqing seemed not to see the resentment on her little face. He just turned around and instructed the servant.
Everyone was frightened by the knock just now, so they didn’t dare to delay and hurried to the kitchen.
After a while, the egg was brought over. Just as Xia Xingchen was about to reach out to take it, Bai Yeqing's long hand had already taken it away. He tested the temperature and made sure it was not too hot before putting the egg on her chin.
She gasped in pain, clasped her hands around his wrists, and ducked her head back.
"Don't move!" He held the back of her head with his other hand, fixing her face. Seeing her misty pupils, his eyes softened a lot, and he raised his thin lips, "I'll try to be gentle."
Even the voice became much softer.
Xia Xingchen nodded pitifully. Her pitiful appearance made him feel distressed, and he scolded her, "What an idiot."
Although these four words were scolding her, they clearly contained a tone of care and pampering. Her depressed mood just now disappeared in an instant, and she smiled at him instead.
"What are you laughing at? You're already in this state, and you're still laughing!"
"… If I don't do this, are you going to ignore me tonight?"
"Shouldn't I be angry?"
"..." Xia Xingchen was silent for a moment, looked at him, and said softly: "I'm sorry... Can't I apologize to you?"
Bai Yeqing's eyes were originally focused on the egg rolling under her chin, but when he heard her say these three words, he raised his eyes slightly.
"anything else?"
"I don't really want to... that..." She didn't dare to mention the word 'break up'. She was afraid that he would get angry again, so she just continued: "I'm just worried about you and don't want you to be embarrassed. So, when I heard that Lan Ye had a way, of course I..."
After a pause, she added: "Care leads to confusion."
"But..." At this point, Xia Xingchen remembered something and snorted, "Come to think of it, I'm not angry with you yet!"
Bai Yeqing glanced at her, obviously asking her what she was angry about.
"Lan Ye seems to really love you. Moreover, she is so resourceful. Do you think...will there be a day when you suddenly..."
"Have means?" Bai Yeqing sneered. "Manipulating Xia Xingkong and denying Dabai's existence, do you really think you can fool others? Every old man at the venue is smarter than her. How can Xia Xingkong's words, which are full of loopholes, convince others?"
"You know everything?"
Lan Ye went to see Xia Xingkong, and he actually had an idea in his mind.
Xia Xingkong would eventually learn to restrain himself after learning a lesson, but due to his status, he could not do it himself, nor could he let his subordinates do it. If someone caught him, they would inevitably make a big fuss about it, so he would not dig a hole for himself.
But Lan Ye was the most suitable candidate. Having been in the army for so many years, he was ruthless and accurate, and was more than enough to deal with Xia Xingkong.
"Then... Xia Xingkong and Li Ling, what are you going to do?"
"Not urgent."
If there wasn't someone behind them, the two of them wouldn't be able to do this. He knew it in his heart.
Bai Yeqing didn't want to discuss this topic with her anymore, and just focused on giving her a hot compress. The two of them were very close, and she could see his long eyelashes blinking occasionally, casting shadows under his eyes. His focused look confused her mind.
This man always looks like he is in control of everything, and he exudes the courage and determination to rule the world, which makes it easy for women to be conquered by his charm.
How could such a man not be remembered by others
As Xia Xingchen thought about it, she subconsciously opened her arms and hugged his neck, her little face resting against his neck lovingly.
Bai Yeqing was stunned for a moment by the sudden hug, with the egg in his hand hanging there.
"What's wrong?"
"Hold tight." Xia Xingchen smiled. "You are so popular. What if I let down my guard and you become someone else's? What should I do?"
He inserted his long fingers into the girl's soft hair. He held the back of her head with his big hand and lifted her face up. "If you have this kind of self-awareness, don't agree to stupid suggestions like Lan Ye's in the future!"
Xia Xingchen glared at him angrily, "Who are you calling an idiot?"
"Others have tried so hard to get it, but you just want to give it away all day. Have I wronged you?"
"..." Xia Xingchen's lips twitched slightly.
This man...
How arrogant and narcissistic!
But, if you think about it carefully, it is really the case.
She had no choice but to stop arguing with him.
… … … …
Bai Yeqing is not a patient person on normal days, but when it comes to giving her hot compress, he is very patient.
She didn't need to cry out in pain. As long as she let out a slight groan, he would ease the force in his hands.
She found that she particularly enjoyed this feeling, so even though it didn't hurt, she pretended to be in pain.
