As I was thinking about it, the car stopped.
Xia Xingchen raised his head and looked outside.
Facing her was the community of River View No. 1. Built along the river, it contained a cluster of tall buildings and several small villas.
She knew this place. It was a famous wealthy area.
In the past, she and Weiyang would look inside when they passed by here. They were both working towards the goal of buying a house here. Although they didn't really want to buy a house, having such a goal really gave them more motivation in life.
"Why are you here? Are you visiting someone?" she asked curiously. As she unbuckled her seatbelt, she said to him, "I've seen this place in magazines. I heard that many famous people live here."
This place, in the past, was out of reach for her.
"Come down first."
Bai Yeqing went down first and closed the car door.
She got out of the car too.
At this time, the neighborhood was very quiet and the lights were dim, and only the arrival of their vehicles broke the tranquility.
"No need to follow." Bai Yeqing informed Leng Fei and walked towards the community with Xia Xingchen in his hand.
The cold wind was howling, but her petite body was held in his arms, so she didn't feel cold.
Tonight, in such a quiet night, he didn't need to wear a mask. Occasionally, someone would pass by them, and in the dim light, others couldn't recognize the two of them. Xia Xingchen held his arm, feeling satisfied.
After walking for a few minutes and warming up, the two stopped in front of a villa.
Bai Yeqing knew the way and took the key to open the door. She stood at the door in surprise and saw a star on the doorplate with the word "Xingchen" engraved on it.
This is…
"Come in and take a look."
Bai Yeqing called her from inside.
She put away her doubts and walked in slowly. This was a not-so-big villa, with two floors upstairs and downstairs. The decoration was neat and grand, which was his style. The furniture inside was already complete.
"When did you prepare it?" She looked at him in surprise.
He just said, "The master bedroom is upstairs, go up and take a look."
Xia Xingchen followed him upstairs. In the bedroom, there was a large bed. The soft and comfortable bed sheets were no longer the black and white ones in the presidential palace, but the patterns she liked.
Bai Yeqing lay down on the bed and patted his side. "Try lying down and see how soft or hard it is. If you don't like it, you can change it."
She obediently lay down on the bed, lying next to him. She tilted her head slightly to meet his eyes, and just looked at him quietly for a long time without asking any more questions.
"Are you comfortable?" He patted the mattress.
"Yeah." Her long curly eyelashes fluttered a few times.
"Do you like the environment here?"
"I like them all." She is a person who is easily satisfied. Everything is good when he is around.
His eyes deepened, and he stretched out his long arms, holding her waist and pulling her against him. Her hair fell on his face, and he lifted it with his long fingers, branding her face with his big palm, "From now on, this will be our home, do you have any objections?"
She looked emotional and shook her head, "It's all fine, you decide."
What is home? As long as he is there and the children are there, no matter where or what kind of place you live, that is home.
only…
"Why do you suddenly want to buy such a house?"
Bai Yeqing moved up and leaned against the head of the bed, letting her sit on his waist, holding her slender waist with one hand and resting the other hand behind her head.
"The Presidential Palace will probably be uninhabitable soon."
She looked at him in confusion. He played with the ends of her hair with his fingers, his eyes lowered to a certain point, "I'm tired of that kind of life. So..."
At this point, he raised his head, met her gaze, and said calmly: "Before the impeachment result is officially announced, I will resign."
She was shocked.
The fingers pressing on his shoulders were too shocked to move.
She never expected that he would suddenly resign. This was a big deal, not only for the Bai family, but also for the political party and business community behind him, and even for the entire S country.
His decision is bound to cause a stir in the country.
"Why... why?" She asked hesitantly, her lips moving.
He seemed very casual, "Why so many whys?"
Xia Xingchen half stood up and looked at him steadily, "Is it because... I caused you trouble? I know that this position has been your ambition for so many years. If you give up halfway, I..."
The more she spoke, the sadder she became, and the more guilty she felt.
The fingers pressing on his shoulders tightened a little.
"What are you thinking about?" Bai Yeqing pinched her chin, interrupting her and not allowing her to continue thinking like that.
Xia Xingchen sniffed, tightened her arms, and hugged his neck, resting her chin on his shoulder.
There was a hint of helplessness and doting on his face, and he held her tighter in his arms with one arm. She was very small, especially in his arms, she looked more like a delicate child.
"Don't let your imagination run wild." He held the back of her head with his big hand, lifted her little face up to face his own. He fixed his gaze on her calmly, "Although the position of president has always been my ambition, one of the main reasons is because of my second uncle. Now that everything is settled, I want to live a relaxed life like an ordinary person. I want to take you and Dabai with me."
"You want to open a cafe by the sea, that's totally fine." As he spoke, he pinched her fingers with his long fingers and slowly stroked the band of the ring. "But, our parents and family are all here, so we must come back from time to time. This house is our home here."
Listening to him talking about the future, with her hand held in his fingertips, her eyes gradually became hot and a mist rose unconsciously.
My chest is very emotional.
Emotions are surging.
She was a little woman who wanted to live an ordinary life, but she never thought of asking him to accommodate her. He stood in the most dazzling position, a position that many people wanted but could not get, and he should have achieved more.
"Have you thought it through?" She asked again, her fingers entwined with his, "You really won't regret quitting?"
He didn't answer, but asked instead: "If I have nothing and start all over again, will you still follow me?"
Xia Xingchen's eyes were filled with emotion, "Wherever you are, I will be there."
After that, before he could react, she leaned over and kissed him. He was slightly startled, with a little more smile in his eyes.
Her lips were soft and warm. When they kissed, it was even more lingering and gentle. Bai Yeqing let her gently roll on his lips, but he was always impatient. He couldn't wait for her to slowly go deeper, so he took the initiative and kissed her lips back.
His arms tightened even more, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.
