Her complexion is rosy and she looks energetic. The smile on her face always shows happiness and is very contagious.
Looking at her like this, Leng Fei was also happy for them.
"Is there something important you want to talk to me about?" She tucked her hair behind her ears. The waiter brought the tea and she said "thank you" softly. Now, the people pointing fingers at her behind her back didn't seem so hard for her anymore.
She was just afraid that he would be wronged.
"I came out without telling you." Leng Fei glanced at her and slowly stirred the coffee in front of him. "Miss Xia should know that you are planning to resign, right?"
"He did mention it to me."
"I came here this time hoping that you could persuade him to wait a while. Miss Xia, please forgive my selfishness. I know that the President wants to give you and the young master an ordinary and stable life. For example, if it weren't for your identity as the 'President', you wouldn't have been involved in this series of events. You have been really upset about this matter and feel that you have not protected you well. In addition, the public is now against your marriage to the President. You resigned because you don't care about fame and fortune and want to marry you openly without considering anyone's opinion. However, our national policy needs him the most now. The neighboring countries on the border are intimidated by his power and dare not take any action. If you change people at this critical moment, I'm afraid... the situation will be in chaos."
Xia Xingchen sat there and listened to Leng Fei talk for a long time.
She didn't really understand the situation or the politics, but as an ordinary citizen who benefited from the young president, she knew that it would be a huge loss for the people if he retreated now.
If the people lose such an excellent leader because of her, she naturally cannot bear this sin.
Finally, Leng Fei sent her back to the Presidential Palace.
Xia Xingchen was preoccupied the whole way. After having dinner with the child, she taught him the remaining lessons in the room. Teaching him was always easy. Basically, there was no need to teach him anything related to numbers. She just needed to teach him how to write.
Xia Dabai was writing seriously with a pen and paper. She was using her mobile phone to search for Bai Yeqing's previous videos using the 4G signal and kept watching them.
From his passionate speeches during the election to his confident and elegant speeches every time he attended a symposium.
This man was born to be on this political stage.
How could she kill his ambitions and aspirations just because of her ordinariness? What virtue and ability did she have
"Dabao, what are you thinking about?" Xia Dabai leaned over and glanced at her phone screen. Then, he sneered and rolled his eyes, "You are useless. You always stare at Xiaobai like a fangirl. Tsk tsk."
"Write your handwriting carefully!" Xia Xingchen tapped his little head with a pencil.
At this moment, the sound of a car was heard downstairs.
She stood up, lifted the curtain and looked out. In the dark night, several beams of dazzling light penetrated the darkness, projected over, and cut through the night sky. Suddenly, they also illuminated her eyes.
She put away her phone and put it in her pajama pocket. "I'm going to go downstairs. You write well. I'll come back to check later."
When she spoke, her smile was so deep that it was like spring. My heart had already flown downstairs.
"Dabao!" Xia Dabai pulled her sleeves, puffed out his little mouth, and stared at her unhappily with his big eyes.
"What's wrong?"
"Tell me the truth!"
"Um?"
Xia Dabai narrowed his eyes, "Now in your heart, Xiaobai has a higher status than me, right? You like Xiaobai more!"
Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. She pinched his fair and tender face, "Why, are you jealous?"
Xia Dabai pouted angrily and grabbed her hand, "Tsk~ I'm not jealous!"
That arrogant look was exactly like his father's. He snorted, sat back at the desk, took a pen and scribbled twice on the notebook, and said stubbornly: "What does it matter? I will also find a wife in the future! When the time comes, I will find ten wives, and all ten of them will like me!"
“…” 10 wives
Are you sure there won't be a family war
Xia Xingchen simply couldn't imagine such a scene. It would probably be a mess, right
"If you're not jealous, I'll go downstairs~" She opened the door.
"Go down! You're so annoying!" Xia Dabai didn't even raise his head, waving his hands as if in annoyance.
She smiled and walked out. Before closing the door, she peeked inside again, then ran in again and kissed Xia Dabai hard on the face.
Xia Dabai paused while moving his pen, and his brows, which had been furrowed just now, raised a little.
She rubbed his round little head and said, "Don't be jealous. We both love you the most."
Xia Dabai's frown finally relaxed and he touched his nose. "That's pretty good~"
… … … …
After coaxing the child, when she walked out, Bai Ye Qingren had already come up. He took off his windbreaker and was wearing the pullover she bought for him.
He seemed a little tired and rubbed his eyebrows with both hands.
Xia Xingchen felt distressed when she saw that look.
"Are you tired?"
He then raised his head and saw her, and the tiredness on his face faded a lot. He subconsciously reached out to her. She curled her lips and put her hand into his.
"Where's Dabai?"
"He's doing his homework inside. I gave him some tasks."
He nodded slightly and walked into the room.
Xia Xingchen followed him in and put his tie into the dressing room. He leaned tiredly on the sofa with his eyes closed. The dim light shone on his face, and the dark circles under his eyes looked a little heavy.
She felt deeply distressed.
I leave home at 6am and come back at 9pm. How can I live like this for more than one day? Day after day, with no end in sight.
In fact, she was also selfish. Compared to such a busy and burdensome life, she really would rather he live the most ordinary and simple life.
Moreover, being in a high position is like walking on thin ice. In addition to having to worry about safety and calculations all the time, every move is scrutinized. If you make a mistake, you will face the most brutal impeachment. Outsiders only see the glory, but never know that this man is just an ordinary person, who will work hard, feel tired, and even have vulnerable moments.
"What's wrong?" As if feeling her gaze, he slowly opened his eyes.
The two of them looked at each other, and the pain in her eyes was clearly visible.
Xia Xingchen felt a sour nose and shook her head, patting the pillow on the sofa to make it softer. "Lie down and rest for a while. I'll run you some water and call you later. You'll feel better after a good bath."
