The luxury crystal lamp lightened his cold face clearer.
He was having his dinner. He still behaved like a gentleman at the table though he's furious. He didn't even give her a glance hearing as she walked into the dining room as if she's not there.
Everyone in the dining room including the kid could feel that something was wrong between them.
Xia Dabai was upset. Why did dad have the cold look on his face now that Dabao was home? He's gonna scare her. What a stupid dad. He didn't even know being nice in front of ladies!
He complained secretly and waved at Xia Xingchen. Xia Xingchen walked over and a maid pulled the chair for her. She only cooked two drumsticks for her child.
"Dabao, one for you, one for me." Xia Dabai said carefully in a low voice like he's stealing something. He didn't want to make someone angry. Xia Dabai looked at the man sitting in the prominent seat and felt relaxed finding he didn't notice what's happening.
"No. You eat both." Xia Xingchen also said softly, giving both of the drumsticks to him.
She was hungry but now she had no interest in eating. She was confused. What he just said occupied her mind. "Beg him in the bedroom." Was he serious? She bit on her chopsticks and glanced at Bai Yeqing. She's not stupid and due to the former experience, she thought he might really be interested in her body.
Frankly speaking, he's the president. He's the youngest, most popular and also the most handsome president.. If he wanted to sleep with girls there must be tons begging him to sleep with them. The media also did research and the results turned out that he's the man most women wanted to sleep with.
She was a virgin before sleeping with him. And just doing it again could bring her child back. Thinking this way made her feel better. It was a good deal.
Xia Xingchen looked at her child. Xia Dabai was eating the drumsticks. He seemed to feel her staring and he looked up, smiling at her. "Dabao! You are a brilliant cook! Could you always cook them for me?"
The words hit her. She nodded her head as if she had already made up her mind. "Sure. Whatever you want, I can cook for you forever."
Xia Dabai put his chopsticks down and said seriously. "Pinky swear. You just said you'll cook for me forever, don't leave me alone half-way!"
Xia Xingchen's eyes became moist.
"I promise. Whatever happens, whatever it takes, I won't leave you alone."
These words were not said in a low voice. Bai Yeqing looked at her. Xia Xingchen could feel his burning stare but she dared not to look back at him.
Bai Yeqing didn't say anything during dinner. He could always hide pretty well so Xia Xingchen had no idea what he's thinking. He finished his meal faster than them and walked out of the dining room.
The whole room went back to life as he stepped out. Xia Dabai felt relaxed, watching him going upstairs. "Dabao, did you make him angry?"
"I don't know." Xia Xingchen sighed.
Bai Yeqing stayed in his reading room the whole night. Xia Xingchen noticed the tie had gone. Asking the maids she knew he took it away.
Xia Dabai was following her all night. He wanted her to help him wash. And after that, he begged her to read stories. He wouldn't let her go. She couldn't say no to him and he nearly fell asleep after she read stories to him.
She put the quilt over him and walked out. Stood in the corridor, not knowing where to go. Subconsciously she looked at his bedroom. Somehow she felt her heart pounding fast.
After consideration, she went to her own room and took a shower. Everything in her room was still in its own place. She opened the closet and found her pajamas. Her pajamas were all conservative ones. She spent a while finding suitable underwear and pajamas. She's still nervous thinking about what's gonna happen next.
She never thought Bai Yeqing and her could reach to this sort of relationship.
Maybe because of anxiety or not knowing how to face it, the shower took her nearly an hour. She finally got out till her snow-white skin turned reddish. It was almost midnight when she finished drying her hair.
Maybe Bai Yeqing had already slept.
She put down the hairdryer and walked out.
"Miss.Xia." She met a maid in the corridor. She nodded at her and asked. "Is the president sleeping?"
"Not yet." She answered. "He's in the reading room after a bath. He's busy with something."
Xia Xingchen nodded at her and said. "Could you hand me a bottle of wine? Not the strong one."
She closed the door. Alcohol might help a lot. Soon the maid handed her the wine. She only drank a little because she didn't want to be drunk.
She had everything prepared, she walked directly to the reading room.
He didn't answer her until she knocked three times. Then she walked in.
The reading room was big. The yellow light couldn't brighten the whole room. And that made her relax a bit.
Bai Yeqing leaned on the bookshelf in his robe. He was reading a foreign book. She dared not to look so closely to find out what the book is about.
He treated her like she's not there. He didn't even pick his head up from the book.
Xia Xingchen felt terrible. She stood over there like she's gonna face a trial. Every single second is torture. Why couldn't he just come straight?
