When Xia Xingchen was about to fall asleep, she heard a noise at the door. The room was dark and the lights were off. She vaguely saw the tall man slowly walk to the bed, then leaned over silently and kissed Dabai on the forehead, and then carefully tucked in the quilt he had kicked off.
The moonlight from the window shone on the man's face. His expression was as calm as usual, but it seemed to be a little warmer than what we usually see on TV news.
Xia Xingchen smiled.
It seems that Xia Dabai misunderstood him. How could he not want him
… …
The next morning, Xia Xingchen finished washing up and took her son downstairs. The two of them jumped and talked and laughed all the way, but when the servant opened the carved door of the restaurant and led them to the door, they saw someone sitting at the head of the table, and both the big and the small immediately fell silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became colder.
Someone's powerful aura makes people dare not act recklessly.
"Young Master, Miss Xia, good morning." The butler stood behind him and greeted them.
"Good morning."
Xia Xingchen greeted them carefully first, pulled out the child chair, and sat in it with Dabai in her arms. She glanced at the man who was sitting there quietly reading the newspaper, and thought of what happened last night, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Good morning, Mr. President," she greeted uncomfortably.
"Hmm." He responded indifferently.
"…" That's it? Xia Xingchen was embarrassed again. This man was really hard to communicate with.
Dabai stared at him with big eyes, "I thought you would never come back."
"Why?" Bai Yeqing put away the newspaper. Compared to his response to Xia Xingchen just now, he was not perfunctory at all when responding to the child.
The difference in treatment is really huge.
Xia Xingchen muttered to himself.
"You haven't come back for so long, you regret it and don't want me anymore, right?" Xia Dabai asked.
Xia Xingchen paused for a moment while holding the breakfast cake with sauce on it. He subconsciously glanced at Bai Yeqing, who obviously didn't expect the child to ask such a question. He was stunned for a moment and said, "You will always be my son. I have never regretted bringing you back, and I won't regret it in the future."
"Really?" Xia Dabai frowned and looked at him inquiringly, then looked at Xia Xingchen, as if he was not sure whether his words were true or not.
"Don't worry, Dad is a man of his words. If he says it's true, it's true." Xia Xingchen touched his son's head and soothed his sensitive heart.
She spoke to her son very gently. Bai Yeqing couldn't help but look at her twice more. It was hard to associate her with the woman who slapped her in public.
She handed the small cake with sauce to Dabai. Dabai was happy, took a bite of the cake and smiled, "It's delicious. Xia Dabao, make one for dad too, he will definitely like it too."
"Really?" Xia Xingchen glanced at the man uncertainly. He had withdrawn his gaze and was eating quietly, his posture elegant and noble, completely different from the lively mother and son next to him.
Even if it looked like this, they, no, he and I were definitely not from the same world.
Xia Xingchen thought about it, and finally handed him the cake with green tea sauce. He paused for a moment while eating breakfast, raised his eyes to look at her, but did not take it.
"Miss Xia, you have mysophobia, sorry." Seeing her action, the housekeeper hurriedly said. He took the sterilized gloves and carefully brought the cake to the president himself, smeared the sauce on it, and the president took it.
Do you think you are dirty? That's it!
Xia Xingchen couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. It was quite embarrassing to have her hand stretched out in the air without being appreciated. But she couldn't force him to eat it. She didn't dare, and she didn't have the ability. She might be thrown out right away!
"Since Mr. President thinks it's dirty, then I'll eat it myself." He pouted awkwardly and stuffed the cake into his mouth in one bite.
Bai Yeqing glanced at her, his eyes were slightly dark, but he said nothing. He had never seen a woman who dared to be so careless in front of him. Which woman would not chew the cake slowly? But she was completely wolfing it down.
Xia Dabai's face was full of sympathy and depression. It seemed that the hope for his mother to deal with his father, the president, was slim!
In the next few days, President Bai was nowhere to be seen. He must have been very busy. Xia Xingchen was also very busy.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is going to meet with the British Prime Minister. Xia Xingchen is just an intern, but he cannot let her down.
On that day, the Prime Minister and his entourage drove slowly in, and she and everyone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already arrived at the door to greet them.
The car stopped, and the Prime Minister got out along with a group of British attendants. Among them, an Oriental man was particularly eye-catching. And that man...
Even though Xia Xingchen was standing at the end of the crowd, she recognized the man at a glance.
After five years of not seeing him, he has become more mature and steady than before. Standing among a group of Westerners, who are also outstanding people, he is not inferior to them in temperament or height.
Chi Weiyang, who was standing by, suddenly pulled down her shirt sleeves and quietly made a lip gesture with her: "Xu Yan..."
Xu Yan.
It’s Xu Yan.
Xia Xingchen's eyes seemed to be fixed on him, unable to move away. The man followed the crowd, getting closer and closer, and then...
He tilted his head slightly and his eyes suddenly met Xia Xingchen's.
The four looked at each other, both of them were stunned. The man seemed surprised to see her. He paused, his eyes were deep and complicated. Xia Xingchen pinched her fingers into her flesh and turned away.
Xia Xingchen was a little out of shape for the next work. Fortunately, she was just a small assistant, and with Chi Weiyang's help, she had a much easier time. By noon, everything was finally over, and the remaining little unknown people could breathe a sigh of relief.
Xia Xingchen held the chopsticks and picked up the rice boredly.
Chi Weiyang sat down opposite her and glanced at her inquiringly, "Are you okay?"
"It's okay. What can happen to me?" Xia Xingchen raised his lips and smiled, pretending to be relaxed.
"Okay, stop pretending in front of me. I can see your little tricks better than anyone else."
"..." Xia Xingchen stopped talking. If you are stubborn, you will look funny.
"Xu Yan is really getting more and more handsome. I just heard all the girls around him talking about him. I guess he should have a girlfriend now."
"That's not surprising. He is so outstanding, there must be endless girls chasing after him." Xia Xingchen replied softly.
Chi Weiyang snorted coldly, "If you hadn't been begotten by a bastard back then, you wouldn't have missed Xu Yan. I don't know who that bastard is. If I find out, I will definitely throw a shoe horn in his face."
"..." Xia Xingchen immediately pictured Bai Yeqing's thousand-year-old icy face being thrown at by a shoe horn, and he actually laughed as he thought about it. That scene would definitely be quite exciting.
Chi Weiyang glared at her, "I'm serious, you can still laugh!"
"Okay, I remember. That's what you said. If I really find Dabai's father, don't forget to beat him up for me."
"Don't worry, this is a must!"
