The palace's luxurious crystal chandeliers were as bright as daylight, illuminating the man's cold and ruthless expression even more clearly.
He was having a meal, and even when he was angry, his every move was elegant and noble, showing the demeanor of a king. When he heard her footsteps coming in, he didn't even bother to lift his eyelids. It was as if she was air, and he didn't even bother to glance at her.
The atmosphere in the entire restaurant was so depressing that not only the butler who was serving him, but even the usually heartless Dabai could feel it.
He pouted his lips in complaint. Dabao finally came back, why did the dad have to look so stern? It makes people nervous! Dabao will be scared away by him, right? What a stupid dad, he doesn't even know how to be gentle in front of girls!
He secretly complained, sitting on the child's chair and waving his two little paws at Xia Xingchen. Xia Xingchen walked over slowly, and a servant had already pulled out a chair for her to sit down. She only made two chicken legs, both of which she wanted to give to the child.
"Dabao, you eat one, I eat one..." Xia Dabai spoke very carefully, very softly, like a thief. He was afraid that if he spoke too loudly, he would offend the big Buddha sitting in the main seat. While speaking, he timidly glanced at the person in the main seat, and only when he saw that he didn't show any emotion did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Mom doesn't want to eat, so you eat it all." Xia Xingchen said softly. She gave the chicken leg to the child and took the chopsticks to eat the food in front of her.
She was hungry, but now she was not thinking about eating. She was confused, and her mind was full of what he just said - take her body to beg him - is he serious? Xia Xingchen bit her chopsticks and subconsciously glanced at Bai Yeqing who had a stern face. She was not stupid. She had almost had a few experiences before. She felt that this man was really interested in her body.
To be honest, he is the president of a country, the youngest, most popular, and most handsome president in his country. Regardless of his appearance or other aspects, if he wants to sleep with a woman, how many women are willing to come forward? The media has also conducted many surveys in this regard. The voting rate of the man that young women want to sleep with the most always ranks first. Moreover, he is far ahead of the second place.
She even gave her first time to a man like this. It's just a matter of doing what she did before again, and she can keep Dabai by her side. No matter how you think about it, it's not a loss.
Xia Xingchen lowered her eyes and glanced at the child. Xia Dabai was happily chewing on a chicken leg. As if noticing her gaze, he turned his head and smiled at her charmingly, "Dabao, you are such a great cook. From now on, you will always cook chicken legs for me, right?"
She felt sad. As if she had made up her mind, she nodded, "Okay, I will! From now on, I will cook not only chicken legs, but anything you want to eat. I will cook for you for the rest of your life..."
Xia Dabai quickly put down his chopsticks, stretched out his little finger, and said seriously: "Then let's make a pinky promise. You have to work for me for the rest of your life and you can't abandon me halfway~"
"..." Xia Xingchen almost burst into tears again.
She immediately made a pinky promise with the child, "Mom promises that no matter what happens, no matter what it takes, Mom will never abandon you."
This sentence was not light. On the main seat, Bai Yeqing cast a deep look at her. Xia Xingchen could feel it, but she didn't look up and didn't dare to look at him.
… … … … … …
Bai Yeqing didn't say a word during the whole dinner. He was always thoughtful, so Xia Xingchen naturally couldn't guess what he was thinking. He finished his meal faster than she and the child, put down his chopsticks, and walked out of the restaurant.
As soon as he left, the oppressive feeling in the entire space was immediately lifted. Xia Dabai let out a long sigh, patted his chest, and looked back at him as he walked through the side hall, the main hall, and up the stairs. He then said, "Dabao, did you make Xiaobai angry?"
"I don't know either." Xia Xingchen sighed.
Bai Yeqing stayed in the study upstairs all night and did not come down. When Xia Xingchen arrived in the hall, he found that the tie on the low table was gone. He asked the servant and found out that he had taken it away.
Xia Dabai kept pestering her, asking her to help him take a bath. After the bath, he pestered her to sleep in his children's room and tell him stories, not allowing her to leave. Xia Xingchen did not leave either. She agreed to whatever he asked for. When he finished telling the story, he was already drowsy and about to fall asleep.
She carefully covered him with a blanket and left the children's room. She stood in the corridor, dazed for a while, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of his bedroom. She felt inexplicably nervous and her heart was beating wildly.
She thought about it and decided to go back to her room to take a shower. Her room was untouched. She opened the closet and found that all the pajamas were still there. Her pajamas were very conservative. She thought about it again and again before choosing the right underwear and pajamas. When she thought about what might happen next, she still couldn't calm down.
She never thought that one day the relationship between her and Bai Yeqing would become like this.
Maybe it was because she was nervous, or maybe it was hard to face it, she took a bath for almost half an hour. Her originally white skin was rubbed red, and Xia Xingchen finally came out. She blew her hair half dry, and when she looked at the time, it was almost midnight.
Maybe Bai Yeqing has already fallen asleep.
She didn't dare to delay any longer, so she put down the hair dryer and walked out.
"Miss Xia." After leaving the room, she met the servant who just passed by. Xia Xingchen nodded slightly, remembered something, called the other party and asked, "Is the President asleep?"
"Not yet." The other person replied: "After taking a shower, he has been in the study. He seems to be very busy."
Xia Xingchen nodded and ordered, "Could you please get me a bottle of wine? It doesn't have to be too strong, just normal."
She had to be brave enough to deliver it to her. The servant nodded and hurried downstairs to get it for her. Xia Xingchen only took a big sip and didn't dare to drink any more. She was afraid that she would get completely drunk and make mistakes.
After making all the mental preparations, I took a deep breath and went to the study room.
… … … …
When the knock on the study door reached the third time, a faint sound came from inside. She pushed the door open and walked in.
The study was large, with a dim yellow light on in front of the desk. The small light was not enough to illuminate the entire space, so Xia Xingchen was able to relax a little.
Bai Yeqing was wearing a nightgown, leaning against a bookshelf, flipping through a book under the light of a wall lamp. It was also a foreign book. But as to what book it was, Xia Xingchen didn't dare to look closely.
He treated her as if she were air. Even after she came in for a long time, his attention was still on the book and he didn't look up.
Xia Xingchen felt very uncomfortable. She stood there, as if waiting for trial, every minute and every second was torture. It would be better to just do it herself!
