"..." Xia Dabai pouted and complained, "Another date, and another one without me. You adults are so boring!"
Xia Xingchen was afraid that he would be lonely, so she looked at Bai Yeqing pleadingly, but before she could open her mouth, he said, "Not today."
"… "
What a straightforward refusal.
Xia Dabai is a very tactful and arrogant person. He snorted, "I don't want to go over and be a light bulb for you. Grandma said she would take me to the amusement park today. We already made an appointment."
Xia Xingchen said, "School will start in a few days, so you should hurry up and play now. After school, you have to study hard."
"Oh." Xia Dabai was not happy. Studying is really a boring thing.
After lunch, Bai Yeqing went upstairs. When he came down, he brought her a coat and put it on her.
"You have more and more free time now, and you even have time to go out on a date with me." She spoke to him with a smile and sat in the passenger seat of the car.
Bai Yeqing turned around, fastened her seat belt, and started the car steadily. "I am about to resign. The re-election is in progress, and my work is also slowly wrapping up. Naturally, I have a lot more time."
Xia Xingchen looked at him seriously for a while.
He drove the car slowly onto the main road before asking, "What are you looking at?"
While talking to her, his eyes were always fixed straight ahead.
"People on the Internet say that you resigned because of me. I'm afraid you will regret it in the future..."
Bai Yeqing looked at her with a far-reaching gaze, "So do you think I am because of you?"
"I don't know..." She thought this man was a Tai Chi master, and threw the question back to herself. She pouted, "How can I be so charming?"
He smiled, but didn't look at her. After a while, he said, "... Maybe you are really that charming."
Xia Xingchen glanced at him sideways.
He straightened his face and said seriously, "It's not just because of you, but also because of myself. It's lonely at the top. Many people are eager to get this position, but if you stay there for too long, it's easy to get lost. If you're not careful, you may end up with a tragic ending like Lan Zhan."
When Xia Xingchen heard the last sentence, his brows tightened.
Bai Yeqing seemed to see through her worries, and comforted her by holding her hand and pressing it on his knee. She also turned her hand back and held his hand. The two of them, their fingers intertwined, were so tight that they were inseparable.
Bai Yeqing said: "I'm tired, I want to step down and rest for a while, and accompany you and Dabai."
He had missed the time of having a child for almost five years, and he didn't want to miss it again. This time, when she got pregnant again, he hoped that he wouldn't miss even a single day of her pregnancy.
"Don't feel sorry for me." Bai Yeqing knew what she was thinking. "I can come back to politics anytime. In the future, maybe I can compete for the presidency again. What do you think?"
Hearing him say this, Xia Xingchen felt relieved. "I believe in your strength and popularity. As long as you want to come back, you can do it."
Her encouragement and trust made him feel good.
"So what are your plans for the next two years, besides opening a cafe for me?"
"After I resign, I will slowly prepare. There is no need to rush. However, regarding the business side, I already have a corresponding development blueprint."
Xia Xingchen believed him.
A man like Bai Yeqing who is used to strategizing will definitely be successful no matter what direction his future career will develop in and will not disappoint anyone.
Xia Xingchen sighed: "It's just that it's still a bit regrettable."
"What are you regretting?" Bai Yeqing spoke to her while slowly stroking the wedding ring on her finger.
"I'm afraid there won't be many opportunities to see Leng Fei, Rui Gang and the others again in the future."
Bai Yeqing nodded, and was speechless for a moment. Xia Xingchen knew what he was thinking. Although he never expressed many emotions openly, he still cared about them in his heart.
Leng Fei and Rui Gang have followed him for so many years, and only they themselves understand this friendship.
"It doesn't matter." He didn't answer, so Xia Xingchen asked and answered herself, more to comfort him. She gently leaned her head on the man's shoulder, "All good things must come to an end. We will each have our own lives in the future, but when we meet again, it would be nice to be able to get along as friends."
Bai Yeqing listened to her comforting herself, lowered his head and met her eyes for a moment, and then continued driving. But it was obvious that his mood had improved a lot.
Xia Xingchen also breathed a sigh of relief and decided to end the topic. At this moment, the phone in her bag suddenly rang.
She took it out and saw the words "Weiyang" flashing on the screen. She remembered her pajamas last night and felt embarrassed. She was in a terrible situation and didn't know if she was doing well.
After answering the phone, he didn't dare to ask too bluntly in front of Bai Yeqing.
She just pulled her hand out of his, and then she curled up to the other side, shielding her mouth with her hand, and asked her, "How are you? Is everything going well?"
Bai Yeqing glanced over and saw her acting like a thief, feeling really amused and helpless.
Stupid woman!
I could hear everything clearly.
Chi Weiyang pondered for a long time and said, "It should be... quite smooth!"
She thought of what happened last night, and the blush on her face had not yet faded. At this point, she had just gotten up, and while talking on the phone with Xingchen, she casually put on a man's shirt and went to the bathroom to wash up.
This is his room.
It was only later that I realized that my toiletries should be in my room. However, when I entered the bathroom and was about to go back to my room, I found that my towel, mouthwash, toothbrush and toothpaste had all been quietly brought over by him at some point and were neatly arranged.
Two toothbrushes, two cups, everything looks like couple items.
Um!
The two of them are actually a couple.
"What do you mean it's going very smoothly?" Xia Xingchen asked.
"That's it." Chi Weiyang hesitated for a moment before speaking. He squeezed toothpaste on himself, looked at himself in the mirror, and couldn't help but grin.
Xia Xingchen could hear her laughter from over there, and couldn't help but laugh along. He sat up straight in the passenger seat and said, "Congratulations, the war is finally over. When are you planning to get married? You're not really planning to wait until the baby is born before getting the marriage certificate, are you?"
Chi Weiyang was a little distressed. "Yi Chen and Su Suyun haven't made a decision yet. Su Suyun probably doesn't want me to be too proud, so she's holding on to the mentality of delaying it as long as possible. However, we're not in a hurry. It's just... my parents are quite anxious. As soon as I opened my eyes, they called me and said that my belly was getting bigger and bigger, and it was not good to look at."
