They walked along the street in dim light . His shadow covered her .
“Last time on your birthday, you lost your temper when I stood you up . That’s because I thought you were with another woman . So maybe I’d better not show up…” Looking deep into his eyes she felt her heart was pounding the whole time so she answered him directly this time .
She stopped talking as she saw his scorching look .
Suddenly she felt uncomfortable and could hardly breathe . Slightly she pushed him away and hurried him up . But he lifted her chin and asked, “Who told you I was dating someone else that night?”
Now he was confused! He was in the old house at that time . How could he go for a date?
“You really have no idea?” Her eyes became moist .
Bai Yeqing frowned . “My sister told me you called me that night . She said you would call me again in ten minutes but then I couldn’t even contact you . Xia Xingchen, you were staying with another man and you completely forgot my birthday! And now you think that’s my fault?”
Bai Yeqing still felt mad thinking about it .
“Hmmmmmm… . ?” Xia Xingchen was confused .
So…that was Minister Bai who answered her phone that night .
Somehow she finally felt relieved .
“I dated someone else? That’s nonsense . ”
“You know clearly if that was nonsense . ” Bai Yeqing stared at her intently .
Xia Xingchen knew that night still stuck in his throat . It wasn’t her wish to be misunderstood and humiliated by him . She was somehow upset but still wanted to explain . But he never gave her a chance to do so .
And also what he said that day did hurt her .
She sighed, “I didn’t show up because of a car accident . I spent the whole night in the hospital . ”
Bay Yeqing stared at her without a word as if he was trying to find out whether it’s true or not .
“Xu Yan took me to visit my father that day but we were hit by a truck . He saved my life by turning the wheels or I could not be seriously injured . So, I should take care of him . Believe it or not . ”
Seeing his suspicious look, she became a little angry . But then she found his face cloud over as she kept talking, which was kind of scary under the light .
“Where does it hurt?” He asked sincerely, looking at her .
“You mean Xu Yan? Several ribs were injured but he’s out of danger now and…”
“I mean YOU!” Bai Yeqing stopped her, frowning . Who the hell wanted to care about him? Rib injury was not exactly serious for a man .
Xia Xingchen realized that he seemed to have believed what she said .
“Nothing serious . I bruised my ankles but that’s OK . But Xu Yan was badly injured . ”
“Take back your last sentence!” He stopped her . Before she figured out what’s going on, her right ankle was grabbed by him . She was startled and could barely stand .
She steadied herself with her hand on his shoulder . “There’s a little scar . ” She heard him saying .
Xia Xingchen looked down at him . She felt the whole thing was not real . He’s the president of the country and he brought people to their knees .
But now he’s kneeling before her . He didn’t care what people would say .
Xia Xingchen couldn’t tell how she felt like . Her ankle seemed to be warmer . She wanted to stop him . “It’s okay…”
Bai Yeqing stood up slowly . Xia Xingchen took her hand back, trying to avoid his eyes . She heard him asking, “Why didn’t you say that earlier?”
“You didn’t give me the chance to explain…” she contradicted him softly . She was going to explain that day but it turned out she was thrown out unwillingly .
Bai Yeqing didn’t feel sorry at all . “So does it mean that nothing had happened that night?”
He was eager to know .
Xia Xingchen was completely speechless . Did he have to ask in such a high voice in front of a bunch of people? She became furious, extending her hand without an answer . “Give me my phone . ”
“Have you slept with him?” He stared at her as if he wouldn’t stop till he got the answer .
Xia Xingchen found it so difficult to talk with such a cheeky person . She tried to take her phone back but he grabbed her hand and pushed her against the light pole .
“What are you talking about? What else can we do after the accident? I told you I had been taking care of him in the hospital . That’s not what you think . ” She was kind of mad .
She could tell from his look that he finally felt satisfied .
Seeing his expression softened, she finally felt relaxed . Following him for a while she asked, “Can I get my phone back now?”
“Is there anything precious on your phone?” He looked at her .
She shook her head .
There must be something on her phone!
“Get in the car . I’ll give it to you later . ”
……………………
He got rid of the whole bunch of people and drove her home .
Xia Xingchen hardly had the chance to get in his car before . Sitting next to him, she felt the night was like a dream .
They didn’t talk along the way . Though they resolved all the misunderstandings, there was still something unpleasant left between them . He humiliated her and threw her out that day .
Xia Xingchen always thought it was a wise decision to move out and live alone so she wouldn’t beg for a place to live in . Bai Yeqing hated backing out and he would never ask her to move back .
Soon they arrived at the residential area she lived in .
“Here we are . ” She unfastened her seat belt . It’s pretty late now, the whole area is silent like in deep slumber .
