"What did you say just now, woman? Speak clearly!" Bai Yeqing grabbed her and pressed her under a street lamp at the bus terminal.
The dim light from the street lamp illuminated the two of them. He was tall, and the shadow he cast enveloped her.
Facing his deep eyes that seemed to see through her, she felt a little confused. It was also because she had been holding it in for a long time, so when he asked her, she blurted out, "Last time on your birthday, you got so angry because I broke the appointment. But weren't you also dating another woman that night? My absence just matched your mood..."
She stopped talking because of the man's burning eyes.
She was frightened by his gaze and felt a little uncomfortable. She panted slightly and pushed him away, trying to leave. But the man grabbed her chin and lifted her face up, "Who told you that I was dating a woman that night?"
He was really strange! Where was the date that night in the old house
“… Don’t you know it yourself?” Tears glistened in her eyes.
Bai Yeqing frowned and looked at her, "That night my sister said you called me and would call back in ten minutes, but later there was no news. Xia Xingchen, you were dating another man and completely forgot my birthday, and you can still blame me for it with a clear conscience. You are really capable!"
When it comes to this, Bai Yeqing is still furious.
"...Huh?" Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment and blinked.
So... the person who answered the phone that night was not some other woman, but... Minister Bai
I don’t know why, but after hearing his words, the haze that had been accumulating in my heart for so long seemed to dissipate in an instant.
"Who's dating someone else? You're the one talking nonsense."
Bai Yeqing looked at her with heavy eyes, "You know best whether it is nonsense or not."
Xia Xingchen knew that he had been brooding over her broken promise that day. She didn't want him to misunderstand her and humiliate her. Although she was inexplicably angry that day, she wanted to explain, but he didn't give her a chance to explain.
Plus what he said later...
She sighed, "I missed my appointment that day because I had a car accident and spent the whole night in the hospital."
Bai Yeqing didn't say anything, but his mysterious eyes looked at her inquiringly, as if trying to find out the truth or falsehood in her words.
"That day Xu Yan wanted to take me to see my dad, but they were hit by a truck on the way. It was originally going to hit me, but he swung the steering wheel and saved me, but he was injured. Believe it if you want, or forget it if you don't."
Xia Xingchen's last sentence was a bit angry, and she was annoyed by the suspicion in his eyes. However, the more she spoke, the gloomier his face became. It looked a bit scary under the dim street lights at night.
He scanned her body with a serious look and asked in a deep voice, "Where are you hurt?"
"Xu Yan? He has several broken ribs and is bleeding a lot, but he is out of danger now. After leaving the hospital..."
"I'm asking you!" Bai Yeqing interrupted her with a frown. Who cares about him? He can do whatever he wants! For a man, what's the big deal about a few broken ribs
Xia Xingchen finally reacted. It seemed that he believed her words.
"I'm fine. I just scraped my ankle, it's healed already. Xu Yan's injury was more serious."
"Forget the last sentence!" He glanced at her coldly, and before Xia Xingchen could figure out what he meant, he had already squatted down. The man's big hand suddenly grabbed her right ankle, and the heat came. Xia Xingchen's heart skipped a beat, and she was a little unsteady.
I put my hands on his broad shoulders to support myself, and heard him say, "It left a small scar."
Xia Xingchen's heart was shaking for a moment. He lowered his head and looked at the man squatting down. He felt a little dazed. He was the president of a country. Others had always bowed down to him, but...
Now, he squatted in front of Leng Fei and the others without any scruples.
Xia Xingchen couldn't tell what she felt at the moment. She just felt her ankle getting hotter. She subconsciously struggled and said, "... It's okay. A little scar is nothing."
Bai Yeqing then stood up. Xia Xingchen removed her hand from his shoulder and avoided his gaze uncomfortably. She heard him ask, "Why did you say it now?"
"You didn't even give me a chance to explain..." She retorted softly. She had been trying to explain that day, but he interrupted her angrily. In the end, she was driven out by him in a miserable state.
Bai Yeqing didn't feel guilty at all. He just looked at her from top to bottom and said, "So, you and him didn't actually do what I just did with you?"
He cares a lot about this.
Xia Xingchen was speechless. Leng Fei and the others were all here. If he had to ask, wouldn't he have lowered his voice? She was so angry that she didn't answer him. She just spread her hands and said, "Give me back my phone."
"Have you ever slept together?" He stared at her stubbornly, as if he would not give in if she didn't give him an answer today.
Xia Xingchen felt that she couldn't communicate with such a shameless person, so she reached out to grab her phone. Bai Yeqing grabbed her hand and pushed her back hard, and she was trapped on the lamppost behind her.
She was annoyed. "What else can I do after being hit like that? I said before that I was just taking care of him in the hospital. I'm not as dirty as you think..."
She knew that he was truly satisfied with her words. The gloom on his face completely disappeared. The force holding her loosened.
She breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing his relaxed expression, she felt better. She followed him closely and asked, "Can you return my phone to me now?"
"Do you have treasure in your phone?" He looked at her.
She shook her head quickly.
This woman is simply trying to cover up her guilt!
"Get in the car, I'll return it to you when you get in."
… … … …
As a result, Bai Yeqing sent Leng Fei and the others away, and drove Xia Xingchen to where she lived now.
Xia Xingchen rarely sat in his car, and now sitting next to him, she felt dazed.
The two of them didn't speak the whole way. Although they talked about the missed appointment, there was still a knot in their stomach. That was the day he had said something harsh and kicked her out.
Xia Xingchen always felt that it was a wise decision for him to move out, so he would never take the initiative to say anything back. Bai Yeqing was a man of his word, and he couldn't do such a shameful thing as going back on his word.
As a result, the two of them walked in silence all the way and soon arrived at the community where she rented.
"We're here." She took off her seat belt. It was really late now, and the whole neighborhood was so quiet that there was no sound at all.
