"I'm already 32, I should find someone to settle down and get married." After saying that, Bai Yeqing paused and added, "It feels good to be settled down."
The last sentence seemed to be spoken to Leng Fei, but also seemed to be spoken to himself.
She said 'not bad', but her expression clearly said 'it feels super super good'!
There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes when he said that, but he probably didn't even notice it.
However, that was only a moment. The next moment, he turned around and saw Leng Fei's petrified expression. His expression turned cold, "What's with that expression?"
Leng Fei came back to his senses and immediately shook his head.
I thought, how can this be an attempt to persuade him to settle down? It's just a blatant show of affection!
Bai Yeqing added, "Please keep the morning free tomorrow. I need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
I see.
No wonder!
Leng Fei suddenly realized, "Does the Civil Affairs Bureau need to make special arrangements?"
"Not this time. But don't let it leak out. For now, I don't want to have to deal with the media anymore."
Leng Fei understood his feelings. Ever since the impeachment meeting announced the affair between him and Miss Xia, the General Office had to receive countless calls from the media every day. There were all kinds of pages, from fashion, finance to gossip magazines, and each one wanted to find an opportunity. Even though they knew they couldn't interview the President, they were very satisfied to interview someone from the General Office.
Usually, a few words said by a staff member in the office can be turned into a complete love story by their imagination, touching and dreamy. But the credibility is actually less than 50%, because there are very few people who really know their stories.
… … … …
When Xia Xingchen arrived at Zhongshan, Mr. Bai's health was indeed very bad.
Although the fever had subsided, he had lost some weight and looked very pale.
Madam Lanting was not much better, her face was pale and bloodless. She sat beside Mr. Bai and looked a little weak.
Doctors in white coats came and went in the room, and the room was filled with the smell of medicine.
The two elders were talking in a trivial manner. Xia Xingchen stood at the door holding the child and could not hear what they were talking about. But when Madam Lanting scooped a spoonful of porridge and brought it to Mr. Bai's lips, Mr. Bai smiled, and his face was more radiant.
Looking at this scene, Xia Xingchen couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. If she and Ye Qing couldn't be together after being separated for more than 20 years, then she would be really unfilial.
"Dad, Mom." Xia Xingchen called out bitterly.
Xia Dabai raised his head and looked at her suspiciously, as if he thought she had called the wrong person.
She couldn't explain it to the child, so she just touched his little head and said, "Call me grandpa and grandma."
Although the child didn't understand the relationship between the two, he still called for help obediently.
"Why are you back?" The two old people were surprised and happy to see the mother and son.
Mrs. Lanting put the bowl aside and stood up.
Xia Xingchen walked in slowly, her eyes a little tight, "It's already like this, and you said on the phone that nothing happened."
Xia Dabai sat down beside the bed and consoled Mr. Bai in a baby voice, "Second Grandpa, you are not feeling well. Is your wound still hurting? How about I blow on it for you?"
Bai Qingrang felt much better when he heard the child's tender voice. He touched the child's head, praised him a few times, and said it didn't hurt.
Xia Dabai took a cloak from the side and put it on Madam Lanting, and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
"I have. I was just feeding your dad."
"My dad..." Xia Xingchen glanced at the person on the bed who was talking to Dabai. Lan Ting made a 'hush' sound and pulled her out.
The two of them were walking in the greenhouse at the back. In the cold winter wind, Mrs. Lanting looked a little melancholy, "Your father's wounds are healing slowly, and his liver function is somewhat damaged. But don't worry, Doctor Fu also said that as long as you adjust your mentality, he will recover sooner or later. It's just that..."
At this point, she sighed, "After all, we are not old anymore, and now we are counting the days."
Xia Xingchen felt sour in his heart when he heard this.
"Don't say that. Doctor Fu said that your physical condition is not very good. I'm worried..." She didn't say anything else.
Madam Lanting gathered her cloak and said, "It's an old problem for me."
At this point, he coughed. Unable to stop, he turned sideways, covered his lips, and coughed several times.
The thin body was trembling slightly.
"How is it?" Xia Xingchen quickly patted her back to help her calm down, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay." Lan Ting waved his hands, but when he spoke again, he was obviously out of breath.
"Have you been to the hospital for a check-up? I'll take you to see a doctor." Xia Xingchen was anxious.
She had heard about her condition from Bai Yeqing a long time ago. It was an incurable disease, and once it broke out, it was very dangerous. It was like a time bomb.
Lan Ting looked at her with a smile, "There are so many doctors here. I see doctors every day. Do I still need to go to the hospital?"
She was worried and confused.
"Then let them check you again now, I'll feel more at ease."
Seeing her worried expression, Mrs. Lanting was very relieved. She held her daughter's hand tightly, as if sighing, "In this life, I can still find you. God has really treated me well. For so many years, I have always thought that my daughter must be a beautiful and good child..."
As she spoke these words, a thin layer of mist rose in her eyes. The wind blew past, and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist.
"Your father and I, I may have to go first after all... From now on, you must take good care of him for me."
"Mom." Xia Xingchen didn't like to hear this.
Lan Ting smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about such a sad topic. Let's change the subject. Your dad and I have discussed that we should bring your parents over to celebrate the New Year together this year. If they hadn't adopted you, we wouldn't be able to find you now. What do you think?"
She has feelings for both sides, so she naturally agreed, "I'll ask for their opinions."
She was eager to do so. Firstly, it would be lively, and secondly, she wouldn't have to be in a dilemma.
"Oh, Mom, I have something to tell you..." Xia Xingchen thought for a moment, "Tomorrow Ye Qing and I..."
Before I could utter the words "Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married", my cell phone suddenly rang.
"I'm going to take a call."
She cut off the conversation and took her phone out of her pocket.
On the screen, the flashing number was actually a call from Wei Yang. Didn't she just hang up? Did something happen
Xia Xingchen did not delay and quickly picked up the phone and answered it.
"Is there something wrong, Weiyang?"
"Are you still in the old house?" Chi Weiyang's voice was indeed anxious.
"Um."
"Hurry up and check the news online!"
