He actually fell asleep. Not even a minute. It looked like he was really exhausted.
Xia Xingchen couldn't tell what he felt in his heart. It was said that it was cold at a high place. The higher he stood, the more helpless and hard he would feel.
Therefore, such a man should really need a woman who can share all this with him...
Will Song Yiwei be that person
Thinking of her, Xia Xingchen's eyes darkened. However, these are not what she should think about. Shaking his head to clear away those messy thoughts, he took the coat he had taken off and carefully covered him with it.
Bai Yeqing was half asleep, holding her hand and pressing it to his chest.
Under the palm, there is his powerful heartbeat. Xia Xingchen's heart was filled with ripples. For a long time, her eyes fell on his calm and peaceful face, and it was difficult to look away.
… … …
Ten minutes later, Xia Xingchen had to wake him up.
Bai Yeqing woke up quickly, sat up from her lap, and his clothes fell from his body onto the carpet. Xia Xingchen bent down and picked it up, "Go and wash your face."
"… Um."
Leng Fei came in from outside at this moment, "Your Excellency."
"how?"
Leng Fei glanced at Xia Xingchen and stopped talking. She was a smart person and stood up quickly, "I'm going down first."
"If you have anything to say, just say it. There are no outsiders here." Bai Yeqing said.
Leng Fei could only say: "Miss Song is here."
"..." Bai Yeqing paused and glared at Leng Fei fiercely. Leng Fei screamed injustice with her eyes. But the President asked him to say it himself!
Hearing the words 'Miss Song', Xia Xingchen walked faster. Looking at the back, Bai Yeqing frowned, "Xia Xingchen!"
She just pretended not to hear and walked out.
Leng Fei stopped her and said, "Miss Xia, your Excellency calls you."
"Ah? Huh? What's the matter?" She pretended to know just now and turned around. Bai Yeqing's eyes roamed around her face, and he stood up from the sofa, "Don't arrange anything tomorrow night. I have something important to ask you."
… … …
Xia Xingchen couldn't guess what he meant by important things. However, tomorrow is his birthday, and he might want her and the child to spend a real birthday with him.
Xia Xingchen went downstairs and got back to work. However, I always get distracted from time to time. She followed the Minister of Finance and some other senior officials in the side hall, and never saw Bai Yeqing or Song Weiwei again.
During the break, I came out of the side hall to take a breath, and I didn't expect to meet Xu Yan.
"Are you okay? Are your colds all gone?" Xu Yan asked as he brought her a glass of juice.
She nodded, "It healed pretty quickly. Thank you so much for that day."
"Stop saying thank you to me." Xu Yan smiled.
The two of them were leaning on the corridor, and Waiter was walking back and forth in a hurry, which was quite lively. It's a pity that the two of them had nothing to say for a while. Xu Yan wanted to say a lot, but he didn't know where to start. When Xia Xingchen finished drinking the juice and was about to go back to the side hall, Xu Yan suddenly said quietly: "Miss Song is here too, did you know?"
The string in her heart tightened, and she pretended not to understand, "Who is Miss Song?"
"Just now, I was dancing waltz with Mr. President in the main hall. It was very beautiful." Xu Yan looked at her, "Everyone in the audience was applauding, saying that they are a good match."
"..." Xia Xingchen felt that the juice he sucked into his mouth was particularly bitter. After a while, he raised his head and smiled at Xu Yan, "It's a pity. I was working inside and missed such a beautiful dance."
Xu Yan's eyes deepened, "There will be opportunities in the future. You probably know better than me..."
After a pause, he added: "They are going to get married."
The smile on Xia Xingchen's face did not fade away. He just put the cup in his hand gently on the plate held by a passing waiter and said, "I won't tell you anymore. It's very busy inside and I only have one minute to rest. You go and do your work too."
Xu Yan's eyes darkened, adding more complexity. Looking at her turned back, I wanted to say something, but my throat was so congested that I couldn't say a word.
He just didn't want her to fly into flames, and he didn't want her to fall to pieces.
But now, how could he have the position to remind her so much
… …
Xia Xingchen felt that tonight was harder than ever. After passing the internship stage, such workload will occur from time to time in the future, and she has long been mentally prepared. But tonight was particularly hard.
I don't know what's going on.
My chest remained tight until I came out of the Congress Hall after finishing my work. The wind blew, and the depression in my chest had not dissipated.
Chi Weiyang asked: "It's so late, do you want to stay at my place for one night?"
"It still doesn't work. I smell like alcohol. I have to go back and clean up."
Chi Weiyang didn't say anything else. The two people stopped the car and left directly.
When Xia Xingchen returned to the Presidential Palace, the night was already very late. The butler and his entourage were still waiting in the hall.
She took off her coat and a servant quickly took it. She asked: "Is the young master asleep?"
"Go to bed early."
"Then..." She raised her head and glanced upstairs, "Has he returned yet?"
"Your Excellency said that he will not come back tonight."
"… oh."
Xia Xingchen didn't ask any more questions and just walked upstairs slowly. What echoed in her mind for a long time was what Xu Yan said to her tonight.
They will get married...
Yes, they will get married in the future...
After she took a shower, she lay on the bed, tossing and turning for a long time.
The next day.
Early in the morning, she had breakfast with her children.
Xia Dabai's big, watery eyes looked at her for a long time. She noticed, "If you don't eat well, what will you do to me?"
"you're not feeling OK."
"… No."
"I can see it all."
"Really not." Xia Xingchen didn't want to admit that he was in a bad mood. Why could she be in a bad mood
Xia Dabai scooped up the porridge with a spoon, "A woman with a tough mouth is so unlovable, and she treats me like a three-year-old child."
Xia Xingchen pinched his small and tender earlobe, "I know you are not three years old, you are about to be five."
"It's Xiaobai's birthday today, have you thought about the gift?" Xia Dabai asked.
"He doesn't need anything, and he doesn't care whether I give him a gift or not, so just say happy birthday."
"...It's so perfunctory." Xia Dabai didn't dare to agree, "Dad will be angry."
"Be angry when you're angry, whatever you want." Her attitude was lukewarm.
Xia Dabai glanced at her suspiciously, and then said with certainty: "Is your bad mood related to Xiaobai?"
"… no."
"You had a fight with Xiaobai. Don't lie to me, I've seen it all."
"Go wash your hands after eating. It's time for class." Xia Xingchen put down the tableware and took the child off the child's chair. Xia Dabai stuck out his tongue and looked at her face and didn't dare to talk any more. Anyway, he could see that Dabao was in a really bad mood today!
