236 Falling in love does not mean having a future (2)
The butler led her into the dining room, "Wait a minute, the kitchen will make you a light breakfast." [Dance Ruo Debut]"
Xia Xingchen bowed his head and walked towards the restaurant. As soon as he wanted to ask the butler, he was still there, and he had already seen the man sitting at the head of the table. He was already neatly dressed, dressed in a black suit, and sat there elegantly eating. Leng Brown was behind him and reported to him about the day's itinerary, and he said that he would have time free in the afternoon.
"Miss Xia, morning." In the middle of speaking, Leng Brown looked up to greet her.
As his voice sounded, Bai Yeqing's gaze also fell on her. He had always been a sulking person, and it was clear that he was still angry with her for what she said last night, and his expression was always cold, and his gaze only wandered away from her for a second. There are no fluctuations.
Xia Xingchen only bowed slightly, responding to Leng Brown's greeting. Before the servant stepped forward, she had already pulled out a chair and sat down, a position away from Bai Yeqing. He lifted his gaze and glanced at her, his thin lips pursed, but he didn't speak.
She was groggy, but her mind was full of children's affairs. The maid pushed the dining cart and brought breakfast, but she only ate without a match, the taste was the same as chewing wax, and she had no appetite at all.
Bai Yeqing looked at her like that, and suddenly felt completely out of appetite. As soon as he threw away the dishes, he got up and strode out of the restaurant.
waited for others to leave, and Xia Xingchen realized it later. Looking at that back, sigh.
…………………………
On the way to the office, in the RV, the president kept his face tense and did not say a word. Leng Brown, who was sitting across from him, guessed that it might be because of Miss Xia's business, and it wasn't quite right to see them this morning, so he only pursed his lips and said nothing.
Halfway through, his phone rang.
On the screen is her number.
He let the phone ring five times before picking it up and holding it to his ear.
"Something?" It's two cold words.
“…… Kid, will you pick it up today? Pondering, pondering, she spoke sullenly.
He frowned, "Don't worry, one day I really marry another woman, the child is yours or yours!" What I said yesterday will not change because I married someone else! ”
The tone was so cold that she choked back with everything else she had to say.
"Anything else?" Bai Yeqing asked in a deep voice over there.
I wanted to say that today she was going on a business trip...... However, his lips moved, and in the end he just said, "It's okay......"
The phone hung up.
Xia Xingchen squatted on the edge of the suitcase in the small rental house and sighed. Shen Min sat on the chair next to him and looked at her, "Did you quarrel?" ”
“…… Not. She shook her head.
Shen Min saw that she didn't want to say it, and she didn't ask.
"Have you taken the medicine? I see that your spirit is like this, is it okay to go on a business trip? Shen Min was worried. As soon as she opened the door, her appearance really scared her a lot. There are still wounds on his face and hands. When I asked, I found out that I fell down on the road due to heavy rain yesterday.
"It's okay, I'll have all the medicine in the box. Eight hours into the trip, I slept on the plane. Get some sleep, and the cold will naturally be cured. ”
Shen Min reached out and touched the wound on her face, but he didn't dare to use force, only touched it lightly. She retracted in pain. Shen Min said: "It's such a big person, how can you still be like a child, you can also wrestle when you walk." ”
Xia Xingchen smiled and was silent. Shen Min gave her the folded clothes and put them in the box.
"Mom, I'll be gone for a few days, I can't take care of you, Weiyang will come often. If you have something to do, look for her, and she will be the same as your own people. ”
"I know. You work as you work, don't worry about me. ”
"Hmm. As for Da Bai......" Xia Xingchen said: "Let him live in the presidential palace for a few days at that time, so that you don't have to take care of him here." ”
"He can live wherever he wants. He is sensible, and he doesn't need much heart. With him, I have a talking partner. ”
Hearing his mother say this, Xia Xingchen didn't say anything more.
……………………
At 10 o'clock, in the waiting room, most of the officials arrived one after another. Xia Xingchen introduced himself in the past, shook hands with them one by one, and then sat aside to prepare the materials, the whole person was still groggy and weak.
At this moment, Xiao Xin and another girl, Ruan Qing, sat down opposite her with a hot drink, and she could hear the two of them chatting in low voices.
"Is that true? There's no one on the list. ”
"I also just listened to it, and I added it temporarily. The estimation is true. ”
Xiao Xin became excited, "It would be great if it was true." He didn't bring his own translator, did he? ”
Speaking of this, she put down the hot drink in her hand, "No, I can't drink it, this calorie is high, I have to keep in shape." As he spoke, he took out the mirror from his bag, took a closer look, and touched up his makeup, "I must let him pick me as her translator in a while." ”
"Then I won't show weakness!" Ruan Qing also began to touch up her makeup.
Xia Xingchen didn't know who the two of them were talking about, he just glanced at them, and continued to type on the notebook. Ruan Qing glanced at her and said enthusiastically: "Xingchen, you haven't even put on makeup, your face is very ugly, do you want to put on makeup too?" I've got it here, I'll borrow you. ”
"No need." Xia Xingchen shook his head, "I've been on the plane for so long, and wearing makeup is particularly breathable, so I'll leave it like this, anyway, no one knows me except you." ”
Ruan Qing smiled and put the cosmetics back, "It's the same." Anyway, you are beautiful yourself, you have a good foundation, and you look better than us without makeup. ”
With a small face, a small nose, and a small mouth, it looks more delicate without makeup.
Although the face is not very good-looking, there is a kind of morbid beauty, which is even more moving. Isn't this more distressing to men?
Xiao Xin especially didn't like Ruan Qing to say this, and glanced at Xia Xingchen, "People disdain to compete with us for favor." She has to be Mr. President to look at her, and if she is so beautiful, Mr. President will like her! ”
There is no irony in these words. The last time she chatted with Weiyang, Weiyang's joking words were listened to by Xiao Xin, she remembered it until now, sarcastic until now, Xia Xingchen was really speechless. Xiao Xin is a jealous person, and when Xia Xingchen was readmitted to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at the beginning, she was already very unhappy with her. Later, at that charity banquet, after she was in the limelight with a dress and jewelry, Xiao Xin's jealousy was even more hidden.
Xia Xingchen didn't answer her words, but he couldn't help but think of Bai Yeqing......
Now, is he still angry with himself?
In fact, when she said that yesterday, she was not rational and calm, but because she was too troubled by gains and losses.
For children, she suffers from gains and losses, as if she will lose if she is not careful. And for him...... It is even more of a gain and a loss...... Because, she never felt like she had it. There didn't seem to be any women around him, but there were endless women vying to marry him, and each of them was more qualified than her to marry him......
