When they first met on the court, they didn't even know each other.
"Brother. Is Bai Yeqing with her because he knows her identity?" Yu Zenan frowned when he thought of this possibility. "So, he doesn't love Xia Xingchen at all, and is just using her?"
Yu Zeyao was thoughtful. He pondered for a moment and shook his head, "I thought so at first. But if I think about it carefully, if he knew Xia Xingchen's identity, he could have refused on the spot when Vice President Song tried to match him with Song Weiyi in front of so many people at his birthday party last time. Moreover, he should have contacted Madam Lanting a long time ago, and Madam Lanting would not have called me last night to ask about this matter."
Yu Zenan felt even more depressed when he heard this. He would rather Bai Yeqing had some ulterior motive in being with Xia Xingchen.
"So what are you going to do now?" Yu Zenan asked tentatively. Yu Zeyao seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't answer. He just looked down at him and said, "Don't relax about Xia Xingchen. I'll take care of the rest myself."
Yu Zenan looked at his elder brother thoughtfully. He didn't know why, but he felt a little uneasy. He put the photo into a brown paper bag and wanted to take it away. But when he reached the door, he was stopped and taken away.
As soon as Yu Zenan left, Yu Zeyao handed the things to the chief secretary and told him, "Send these photos."
… …
After work, Xia Xingchen asked Chi Weiyang to accompany him to the famous brand mall again. He was so upset about his birthday gift, Xia Xingchen took note of it. It was still the same brand as the shirt he bought last time.
The two walked back and forth in the store, looking at shirts. He was so taboo about Xu Yan, Xia Xingchen didn't dare to buy him the same style again. After choosing for a long time, he didn't find the right style, and he couldn't help but stop when he reached the tie area.
"Miss, are you looking for a gift for your boyfriend?" The waiter said with a smile, "If you want to give a gift to your boyfriend, a tie is the most suitable. It is said that a tie is meant to tie a man's heart."
To capture a man's heart
Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed at herself. She and Bai Yeqing were not boyfriend and girlfriend, so how could she tie his heart to hers? Although she thought so, she still pointed to a dark tie in the middle and said, "Please help me take this and have a look."
The other party enthusiastically took out the tie from the store. The price was four figures, almost her monthly salary. She liked it very much, it was quite steady and suitable for him. Xia Xingchen asked the waiter to pack it for her.
When paying the bill, Chi Weiyang glanced at her several times inquiringly, "Do you really want to tie his heart?"
"You believe that? If a man's heart could be tied with a tie, there wouldn't be so many unfaithful people in the world."
Chi Weiyang was amused. "Once you said that, their marketing tactics were ruined. But... are you really not going back to live there?"
Xia Xingchen shook his head.
Chi Weiyang asked again: "He didn't ask you to go back?"
Xia Xingchen shook his head again.
Chi Weiyang sighed, "That's right. I really can't ask you to go back now. I heard from Fu Yichen today that he and Song Weiyi will be engaged soon. Now they may just need a gust of east wind."
Xia Xingchen's breathing tightened slightly, and her long eyelashes drooped. After a while, she raised her head and looked at Chi Weiyang, "When did you and Doctor Fu become so familiar with each other?"
Chi Weiyang felt a little sad, and turned to fiddle with the clothes hanging on the side. He seemed to be looking at the clothes for a long time before he said lightly, "We knew each other ten years ago."
"..." Xia Xingchen was quite surprised. She was curious, but seeing the dark look between Chi Weiyang's eyebrows, she knew better than to ask any more questions. One day, when she wanted to tell him, she would tell him everything.
After buying the tie, the two of them took the subway back with their things. All the way, Xia Xingchen was thinking about how to give the tie to him. She could bring it to Xia Dabai when he came over one day.
… … …
After a 20-minute drive, she returned home. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw a man standing at her door. He was tall and slender, leaning against the door frame, looking down at his phone, still looking unpresentable.
"Why is it you?" As he got closer, he immediately recognized him. It was none other than Yu Zenan. "Why are you here?"
"I've been waiting for you for a long time. You should have gotten off work a long time ago, why did you come back just now?"
"I went out for a walk. Why didn't you call me?" Xia Xingchen asked.
"Thought you'd be back after work."
Xia Xingchen took the key and opened the door. Suddenly she remembered something was wrong and turned to look at him. "How did you know I live here?"
"What do you think?" Yu Zenan did not hide anything, "Isn't it easy to find your address?"
He took off his shoes and walked in. Everything seemed so natural, as if he had been here a thousand times.
"Are you okay? Why are you checking on me for no reason? If you want to know where I live, just give me a phone call." Xia Xingchen really couldn't get angry with his eldest master.
Yu Zenan looked quite listless today. He glanced at the bag in Xia Xingchen's hand and nodded, "What did you buy?"
"Tie, just bought."
Yu Zenan sat on the sofa, looked into her eyes, and suddenly asked, "Bought it for Bai Yeqing?"
Xia Xingchen was startled, and looked at Yu Zenan in surprise. After realizing something, he became more alert, "What else did you check about me?"
In fact, she has always been very open about her private life, and there is nothing that cannot be known by others. However, Bai Yeqing is different from her. Yu Zenan was obviously staring at Bai Yeqing, so he followed her out. She has never participated in the political affairs between them, and she doesn't understand them at all, but she doesn't want Bai Yeqing to be in danger. He once told her clearly to keep a distance from Yu Zenan.
"You don't have to be so nervous. I don't want to investigate the two of you." Yu Zenan looked at Xia Xingchen, and suddenly took a step closer to her. He looked at her from top to bottom with his deep eyes, and asked seriously: "Xingchen, do you consider me a friend?"
"Of course." Xia Xingchen nodded. She had few male friends, and Yu Zenan was a humble person, so the two of them got along very well and were naturally friends.
"Then let me tell you as a friend, don't be stupid anymore."
She was stunned.
Yu Zenan asked: "Do you know who Bai Yeqing is?"
Xia Xingchen did not speak. He continued, "You don't know how he got to this position at such a young age. You also don't know how much blood has been stained on his hands and how many lives have been trampled under his feet for his current position above thousands of people. Xingchen, you know, people like him and my brother who play with political power are different from those ordinary high-ranking officials and wealthy people! In their eyes, officials like your father are just puppets. Those who manipulate your father are the real crazy politicians. In their current positions, they can only climb up or stay there by any means necessary. Otherwise, the next person to die may be themselves or their loved ones!"
