She raised her hand, and without even thinking, she took the glass of water and poured it over Lan Ye's head.
In this kind of weather, the temperature is still very low.
When the glass of ice water was poured over him, it froze him so much that even his bones ached.
Lan Ye shivered violently, and soon his lips turned blue from the cold. The sinister look in his eyes faded a lot because of the cold.
"You really should wake up!" Xia Xingchen's hands were shaking as he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart. His eyes were colder than ever before. He stared at Lan Ye fiercely, "Don't touch Ye Qing! Otherwise, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Lan Ye was shocked by that look for a moment and stopped struggling slightly.
The next moment...
I only heard people in the hotel say, "The police are here!"
Everyone looked towards the door, and a policeman came in in uniform, "Who called the police just now?"
"Mr. Policeman, it's her—she stayed in the hotel without paying, and she also beat up our manager."
The waiters reported in unison.
The police first saw Xia Xingchen and recognized her as the current 'First Lady'. They greeted her respectfully, then retrieved the video and took Lan Ye and the manager back to the police station for investigation.
Xia Xingchen took the car back to the villa, closed his eyes, and leaned against the car tiredly. Lan Ye's words kept echoing in his mind for a long time.
—If I have the chance, I will definitely kill Bai Yeqing with my own hands and die together with him...
No!
Xia Xingchen felt a little breathless. Although she repeatedly warned herself not to take Lan Ye's words to heart and not to take them too seriously, the fear and uneasiness in her heart still enveloped her like a huge dark cloud.
Lan Ye is now a lost dog. If she really wants to attack Ye Qing, according to common sense, it is basically impossible. However, it makes people have to be on guard.
"Let's not go back to the Presidential Palace for now." Xia Xingchen sat up straight and spoke to the bodyguard driving in front.
The other person looked at her slightly. She hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's go to the President's Office."
"Yes, ma'am."
The other party responded, changed the direction of the car and drove towards the Presidential Office.
… … … … … …
Xia Xingchen couldn't remember how long it had been since he last came to the office. After resigning, he never came back.
I used to be an employee here, but now my identity is completely different.
Knowing that he was still in the meeting, Xia Xingchen called Rui Gang directly. Rui Gang hurried downstairs to pick her up.
"The meeting has been extended temporarily and will probably be over in dozens of minutes." Rui Gang talked to Xia Xingchen as he led her towards the elevator.
She nodded, indicating that she understood.
"Xingchen?" Just as I walked to the elevator, I heard a familiar voice behind me.
When Xia Xingchen turned around, she saw Li Ming and Yunduan jogging towards her excitedly, arm in arm.
"It's really you! I thought we had made a mistake! Long time no see!"
Li Ming and Yunduan rushed up enthusiastically, wanting to hug Xia Xingchen. Xia Xingchen also spread her hands, ready to hug back.
Rui Gang, who was standing by, was tense. When the two of them were about to rush over, he blocked them with one hand. The two of them were a little embarrassed, and Rui Gang explained, "Miss Xia is pregnant now, so please be gentle."
Li Ming and Yunduan understood and were delighted. They looked Xia Xingchen up and down and said, "I was wondering why she looks rounder than before. It turns out she's pregnant!"
"Congratulations, Xingchen!"
"Thanks."
"We still have to hug each other." Yunduan smiled and glanced at Ruigang beside him, "We must be gentler this time."
With a playful smile, the three girls hugged each other.
Li Ming stepped back and asked, "By the way, when are you and Mr. President going to get married? A few days ago, I really thought you would marry the Second Young Master Yu!"
Xia Xingchen raised her lips and smiled, teasing her, "Aren't you known as a fortune teller? Why don't you calculate when I will get married?"
Li Ming poked her, "You are making fun of me, right? You still remember my past grudge!"
Yunduan was amused and laughed, "Since that incident, Li Ming has long retired from the underworld. How dare he brag about it now?"
Last time, everything was blamed on the President, and so many nonsense were said. Li Ming still feels scared every time he thinks about it.
The three girls chatted for a while, and then the elevator arrived. The four of them got on the elevator together.
She turned around, looking straight ahead with a faint smile. Without warning, her eyes met a deep gaze.
It turned out to be Xu Yan.
Long time no see.
Facing her first love, Xia Xingchen's heart was no longer disturbed. To him, they were just two ordinary friends. She smiled at him calmly and generously, and nodded slightly to greet him.
Love is actually very cruel.
Some people, if they don't show up, it's fine. But once they show up, they will domineeringly and forcefully erase all the traces of other people in her heart, leaving only him in her world...
Apart from him, everyone else becomes unimportant.
Now, in her world, there is only Bai Yeqing...
She also knew that besides him, there would never be another person...
"Xu Yan, are you going up or not?" Yunduan was the first one who lost his patience. He asked with his finger poking at the door opening button.
Xu Yan finally came back to his senses. It took him a long time to turn his gaze away from Xia Xingchen and he took a step towards the elevator.
Rui Gang had already noticed his gaze. He glanced at him coldly, took a step forward with his long legs, and stood straight between Xia Xingchen and Xu Yan.
Rui Gang was probably about 188cm tall, and Xia Xingchen looked even smaller than him. She was behind him, unable to even show her head, effectively blocking Xu Yan's sight.
How could Xia Xingchen not know what he meant? She couldn't help but smile, and let Ruigang stand there without saying anything.
Rui Gang remained expressionless throughout the period, not giving Xu Yan any chance to take advantage.
Along the way, Xu Yan was always worried and wanted to cast his gaze on Xia Xingchen several times, but all he saw was Rui Gang's cold look.
Li Ming and Yunduan also knew about their previous relationship and felt sorry for Xu Yan. Isn't it wishful thinking to compete with the President for a woman? Besides, she is about to have her second child, so why would you join in the fun
The sixth floor was soon reached, and Li Ming and Yunduan went down first. Yunduan took a step forward and saw Xu Yan still standing in the elevator, so he turned back and pulled him, "What are you doing! Do you still want to follow the first lady to the top floor?"
She deliberately emphasized the words "Madam President" to remind Xu Yan.
Xu Yan's eyes deepened as he slowly walked out of the elevator. However, after finally meeting Xia Xingchen again, he was unwilling to give up. Before the elevator door closed, he reached in again and blocked the open door.
