In the afternoon, Bai Yeqing first sent Xia Xingchen and Xia Dabai back to the Presidential Palace. Before leaving, Bai Yeqing was called to the study by the old man and was given a lecture. Ten minutes later, he looked very strange.
Xia Xingchen was waiting for him at the door, holding her coat and holding her child's hand.
Seeing that he looked strange, I asked him, "What's wrong? You don't look very well."
"Thanks to your son." Bai Yeqing took his coat and put his own on his shoulders. While adjusting his collar, he lowered his head and glanced at Dabai who was standing by his feet with an innocent look on his face.
"What does it have to do with Dabai?" Xia Xingchen didn't understand.
"That's right, what does it have to do with me?" The little guy raised his head and agreed. He felt very wronged, okay!
"The old man told me that you are pregnant now, so I should be careful and not play S丨M."
As soon as Bai Yeqing finished speaking, Xia Xingchen was stunned for a while, and the next second, his face turned as red as a tomato.
Xia Dabai blinked his confused eyes and asked, "Dabao, what is S丨M?"
He didn't lower his crisp voice.
The old lady who sent them out and Shen Min were both at the door and heard everything. They all felt embarrassed, especially her, the person involved.
Xia Xingchen almost had the urge to wipe her throat, and turned away with a red face. No, she ran! She almost felt like escaping in despair!
Xia Dabai was still asking persistently: "Xiaobai, why did Dabao leave suddenly? Didn't she know what S丨M is?"
"She knows it, very well."
"Then why didn't she tell me?"
"When you grow up, you will understand."
"Is it a game? A game?"
"Yeah." Come to think of it, that should be considered a game, right? A game between husband and wife.
"So... have you played with Dabao? Was it fun?"
"..." Bai Yeqing thought of what happened that night. It seemed... seemed... "It was quite fun."
Xia Xingchen finally couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and glared at him, frantically, "Bai! Ye! Qing!"
How could he be so brazen as to discuss such a topic with his son without batting an eyelid
… … … …
Xia Xingchen was so angry that she ignored him on the way home. But when she got off the car at home, she saw the bouquet of flowers and all her anger disappeared. She took it home as if it were a treasure and happily put it in a vase.
Xia Dabai was sucking on a lollipop and asked her, "Xiaobai bribed you with just two bouquets of flowers?"
"Of course not." Xia Xingchen smelled it and thought it was incredibly fragrant. He taught the child beside him, "You must learn this trick to please girls. When you have a girlfriend in the future, just buy her flowers."
Xia Dabai shook his head. "Vague."
"..." Xia Xingchen was unhappy to be rejected. She patted his head and said, "Women just like tacky things. You don't understand."
It would be strange if he could understand girls' thoughts!
After Xia Xingchen finished arranging the flowers, she lowered her head and glanced at the two red books. She thought of Xia Guopeng and Grandma Xia. She was supposed to visit them after the Chinese New Year, but the engagement incident delayed her visit.
Now that I have the certificate, I have to go and tell them.
She took out her phone and called Bai Yeqing, asking for instructions: "I want to go out for a while."
"Where are you going?"
"Go back to the Xia family. I should have gone there during the New Year. Now that I've received the marriage certificate, I have to go say hello."
"Still associating with them?"
"When I was pregnant, I did feel resentful. But no matter what, I still have the surname Xia." Besides, she was raised by the Xia family. If it weren't for them, she might have been displaced for so many years.
"Mrs. Bai, your last name is 'Bai' now." Bai Yeqing reminded.
Whether she took her husband's surname or her father's surname, her surname was indeed 'Bai' now. Xia Xingchen couldn't refute it, so she just asked: "So are you going to let me go or not?"
"I should have gone with you."
"Just keep busy with your own things. There will be plenty of opportunities next time!"
"Find a driver to take you there. And be careful at all times because you are a pregnant woman."
After getting his approval, Xia Xingchen hung up the phone and went out with peace of mind.
Xia Dabai went with her.
In fact, Xia Dabai didn't like the people in the Xia family very much. Since he was a child, the old lady and Xia Guopeng had never been very enthusiastic about him, unlike the old man and old lady in the Bai family. So he was quite reluctant to go to the Xia family at this time.
However, he was even more unwilling to let Xingchen go out alone.
Car, drove all the way to Xia's house.
The driver took the gifts out of the trunk one by one and carried them into the house.
Xia Xingchen led Xia Dabai in. The whole villa was quiet and silent. The atmosphere didn't seem like the New Year had just passed. It wasn't lively, but rather, very cold.
She remembered that in the past, whenever she stood here, Li Lingyi would rush out as if facing a great enemy.
But now...
Things and people have really changed.
It was quiet, but it made people feel desolate. Even she felt this way, I wonder how her grandmother and father felt in the same situation. I guess it wouldn't be a good feeling.
"Miss."
At this moment, Sister Wang, the servant of the Xia family, came in from the backyard. She was very surprised to see her and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Come and wish a happy new year. Even though it's a little late."
"If the master and the old lady knew you were coming, they would be very happy."
Xia Xingchen asked the driver to put the gift next to the sofa. While looking around the villa, she asked, "Sister Wang, why are you alone?"
"Yes. Ever since the accident of the second young lady and the mistress, there are only the master and the old lady left in the family. They don't need too many servants, so they were all sent away." Sister Wang sighed, "It's quite deserted now."
Xia Xingchen didn't respond.
"Miss, please sit with the young master for a while. I'll go talk to the master. But the old lady is still asleep now!"
"Well, don't worry. There's no need to wake up the old lady, let her sleep." Xia Xingchen reminded from behind.
Xia Xingchen took his son to sit on the sofa. He helped Xia Dabai take off his scarf and gloves. Xia Dabai rubbed his hands together and blew air on his mouth, "Dabao, it's freezing here."
"Dabao will warm you up." Xia Xingchen held his little hand in his palm.
It was indeed cold here. There was no fire or heating. It seemed that the two masters rarely stayed in this hall.
Xia Xingchen thought to himself, feeling quite sad.
"Xingchen?" Xia Guopeng came down from the study upstairs and was quite surprised to see her.
Xia Xingchen quickly stood up and called out, "Dad."
She looked down at Xia Dabai, and Dabai obediently called him "Grandpa".
