He always kept himself alert . So he woke up in no time when she tapped him, frowning . He looked exactly like a lion with a temper, which could burst out at any time . It was the first time Xia Xingchen saw him like that . She’s kind of shocked and worried about him going to be mad .
When he lifted his head and noticed that it was her, he lazily went back to sleep with his arm under his head . “What time is it now?”
“8:10 . ” Xia Xingchen picked up the remote and asked him . “Shall I open the window?”
“Yep . ” He said . The curtains rolled up with strong sunlight coming into the room . It took a while for him to open his eyes in the light .
“When did you get up?” Bai Yeqing sat up in bed .
“I had woken up for a while . ” Xia Xingchen said . “Went back to prepare . Leng Fei has been waiting for a while . He wants me to tell you that there’s an important meeting that you must attend in 20 minutes . ”
Bai Yeqing picked up his watch on the nightstand and wore it . “You look better today . ” He looked at her .
“Yeah, I slept for almost a whole day yesterday .
Bai Yeqing got out of his bed and walked out . Xia Xingchen was standing over there and when he passed her, he picked up her hand naturally .
“Huh?” She felt confused but she could only follow him . His long legs made it hard for her to catch up .
“What are you doing?” She asked .
Now she followed him out of her bedroom . Servants were waiting in the corridor respectfully . Xia Xingchen was afraid that others might misunderstand their relationship . She blushed and tried to get rid of his hand subconsciously . Bai Yeqing won’t let her go but held her hand more tightly and he just pulled her into his bedroom .
“What do you want?” Standing right at the door, she was confused .
“Why are you looking at me this way? What do you think?” No answer . He threw a question back to her and looked deeply into her eyes . He just sobered up from the whole night’s sleep . His robe seemed generous with showing off his pecs .
Xia Xingchen could feel her heartbeat . She stepped back and leaned on the door with her hand holding the doorknob . She tried to keep some distance from him .
Bai Yeqing said nothing . He pointed out his changing room with his chin . “I’m going to wash up now . Can you help me choose a suit for the meeting?”
Then he turned around and stepped into the bathroom . Xia Xingchen felt relaxed without the pressure from him . “Don’t you have any servants?”
He usually had someone to do that .
“The tie you gave me will do . ” His voice came from the bathroom .
That did surprise her .
He had tons of clothes . He seldom used a handkerchief twice, not to mention a tie . But she noticed he had been wearing the same tie for a couple of days . Before when he’s in Switzerland he’s been wearing it . She even thought he forgot to bring other ties with him .
“This tie was sold out now . ” Xia Xingchen walked to the changing room .
“How so?”
“Don’t you spend any time online?”
“I don’t even have time to sleep . I use the internet for checking some documents . ” He answered her question while shaving . His stiff beard needs a special razor .
“You have always been the fashion icon of the young people . This tie got too much attention recently . People start to search for the brand and then all ties of this brand were sold out in a week . ” Xia Xingchen answered him .
“Really?” Bai Yeqing was surprised .
Xia Xingchen came out with his suit and looked at him . “Do you like it that much?”
Bai Yeqing thought for a while and gave her a look full of meaning . “Yeah . You can tie it around your neck and also on your hands . I love multifunctional stuff . ”
Xia Xingchen’s face suddenly went red . She just can’t talk to this man . If she didn’t get him the tie but a shirt, everything would be okay then .
“Your clothes are here . If there’s nothing else I’ll just go out . ”
She dropped his clothes on the bed . She chose deep color for the important conference . Actually most of his clothes were dark color .
Bai Yeqing came out of the bathroom . “Xingchen . ”
His voice made her heart jump . She stopped and turned around . Her soft clear eyes met his deep hazel eyes . He became more serious . “Song Weiyi won’t do this to you again in a short time . But we can’t make sure she will leave you alone . So…”
He paused . “So if you don’t want the kid to worry about you too much, just move back . ”
Xia Xingchen was about to ask him the question he refused to answer last night . But the question failed to come out of her mouth . “I’ll think about it . And… thank you for saving me that day . ”
They both chose to forget about the deal between them .
……
She said she would think about it but the result came out just the same as before .
Xia Xingchen didn’t go back to the presidential residence after work on Monday . She ate at Chi Weiyang’s home that night . Xia Xingchen knew she’s not in a good mood recently . There probably was something to do with Fu Yichen . But the relationship was at least a private problem . Xia Xingchen couldn’t ask too much if Chi Weiyang didn’t want to say .
In the evening she went back to her apartment and made a phone call with Xia Dabai . He was upset that she didn’t come back . They talked till late at night .
But Bai Yeqing didn’t call her or showed up in a week .
Xia Dabai was not grounded by him . The chauffeur sent him to her on Tuesday after class . Although the kid could give her company, she still felt odd and empty . The feeling of loss .
In the evening, lying on the bed, she always thought about the warm hug . But…
But she knew that’s something that didn’t belong to her . She knew exactly that her greed would destroy her one day .
Xia Dabai came to her apartment again on Friday . He didn’t have class on the weekend so Xia Xingchen took him to the night market .
The night markets there were famous throughout the nation . Locals and visitors loved to hang around there . There were tons of people there on Friday nights .
Xia Dabai loved this kind of lively atmosphere . Fun in leaps, and fun in bounds .
