Xia Xingchen fell on him and her soft, red lips brushed past his forehead. He froze as a numb feeling gushed through him and it made him look broody. It startled Xia Xingchen as well and she soon came to her senses. With a scalding red face, she hastily retreated in an attempt to scurry away.

However, she lost her balance and fell backward. She exclaimed an ‘ahh’ and instinctively grabbed on to the man’s sleeves. Bai Yeqing, on the other hand, frowned and bent down. He then held her waist with one arm and using most of his strength, he pulled her up.

At that moment, he had hugged Xia Xingchen who then sat sideways on his leg.

His large palm on her waist was scalding to the touch.

The man’s palm was very hot. Through the thin fabric, it scalded her skin and indirectly made her heartthrob.

Both were very, very close to each other. Love pheromones started to fill the car.

His gaze was deep like the sea. With just one look, it seemed as though she was slowly getting absorbed into it.

She had placed her hand on his shoulder, and it slowly clenched into a fist.

Her heartbeat was fast and irregular and it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. This man was very dangerous! Even if they were just close to each other and had done nothing, it already rendered her distracted and disoriented.

“Your excellency.” At that moment, the clapboard in front of them was suddenly pulled open. Leng Fei’s voice rang out. “Are you alright? I heard a noise so…”

Leng Fei stopped talking the moment he saw the scene in the room.

Eh?

What… was going on? The President and Miss Xia… they were…

Then by poking his neck in, he was really damned!

When she met Leng Fei’s gaze, Xia Xingchen’s face flushed red and she bounced back to her senses. She struggled to get off Bai Yeqing’s leg and yet Bai Yeqing did not let go. She muttered, “Let me go.”

“Know your place, stay still!” Bai Yeqing ordered as his face turned ugly.

He threw a cold glare to Leng Fei. “If I don’t call for you, then don’t poke your head into other’s business.”

“Yes, your excellency.” Leng Fei retracted his head. It never crossed his mind that Miss Xia and Mister President looked quite suitable for each other. But, even so, they can never be with each other.

Because of the disparity in their identities.

In the car.

Although the clapboard was shut close again, Xia Xingchen was very much awake from her drunken stupor.

“I’m sorry. I… was a little rude,” Xia Xingchen apologized deeply. Once she saw the bite mark on his neck which was still bleeding, she realized that she really made a ruckus earlier on.

“Do you like him a lot?” Bai Yeqing asked. He glanced at her and continued, “If that’s the case, I can think of a way to make him marry you as my compensation to you.”

“Do you mean Xu Yan?” Xia Xingchen asked.

“Hmm.”

“Don’t, I don’t want him to marry me.” As Xia Xingchen thought about him and Xia Xingkong, her eyes darkened and she said, “I… don’t like him very much either.”

“Is that so?” Bai Yeqing clearly did not believe her, so he used his fingers to pinch her on the chin after which he tilted her head up.

He thoroughly scanned her face and then stared at her eyelashes that fluttered like a butterfly wing, and somehow that made his heart skip a beat. He forgot the words he wanted to say, and instead, he blurted out, “Do you only remember the pain from that incident?”

“W… what?”

He narrowed his gaze. “It looks like that I remember it more than you do.”

His tone was deep and alluring.

‘Weng.’ Images flashed through Xia Xingchen’s brain and her face turned red.

So…

Did he mean that he still remembered their passionate act that night, just like her?

Xia Xingchen did not dare to ask. Her hands held his shoulders and she got down from his leg.

She did not dare to respond either and sat opposite of him. Even if she avoided looking his way, she could still feel that his gaze landed on her for a moment.

It was scorching hot.

Xia Xingchen’s heartbeat was messy. The temperature inside the car was just right yet she felt terribly hot. She used her hand to fan herself but it seemed useless.

What did this man mean by telling her all this?

Opposite her, Bai Yeqing calmly glanced at her. In the end, he smirked and flipped through the documents.

It looked like her memory of that night was not all that painful.

…

The car drove into the manor.

The maids came out to welcome him. When the car stopped, Xia Xingchen had already fallen asleep in her seat. Leng Fei walked over and wanted to wake her up but Bai Yeqing scooped her up in his arms and carried her down the car.

Leng Fei’s heart shook but knew very well in his heart to not do anything.

Bai Yeqing carried Xia Xingchen to a bedroom located on the second floor. Xia Dabai was then completing his homework when he heard noises outside his room, and so he looked out.

“Eh? Why is Big baby Xia together with you, Little Bai?”

“…” This brat always called him ‘Little Bai’ and was totally fearless of his superiority as a President. Bai Yeqing furrowed his brows and had a stern look. “Call me daddy.”

“Yes, daddy.” Xia Dabai smiled. “Little Bai, why did you carry Big baby Xia back?”

“…” Bai Yeqing decided not to deal with him and was too lazy to correct him as well. Anyway, this boy still knew his place and never behaved improperly in front of others.

“Little Bai, our Big baby Xia smells nice, right?”

The little boy did not care whether he replied or not and instead, climbed on the bed and helped pry the blanket open while he continued to nag.

Bai Yeqing glanced at him and raised his brow, but he never replied to him.

He carefully put Xia Xingchen on the bed with her slender arms sliding down from his shoulders. He could smell an aroma on her and it smelled very nice, the same way the little boy claimed. It was the same as five years ago.

That aroma could make one intoxicated.

Bai Yeqing came back to his senses and patted Xia Dabai head before he barked an order. “Go and do your homework.”

“Okay.” Xia Dabai obediently nodded his head and proceeded back to his study table. He thought of something and bit the pencil he was holding before turning back to the President. He stared at him with his black orbs. “Daddy, can you marry my mom?”

Bai Yeqing froze and asked, “Why did you suddenly request that?”

“Big baby Xia must be drunk because she fell out of love. I am aware that the person she likes is going to be my little uncle. I don’t like to see her being sad.”

This child actually knew everything.

Bai Yeqing looked at the troubled Xia Xingchen who slept on the bed and said, “The situation will not change even if I marry her. If you don’t want her to be sad, then let your little uncle marry her.”

Xia Dabai pouted and stared at him with a childish look. “But I like you better.”

Bai Yeqing’s gaze became deeper. The shining plead in the child’s innocent eyes made one feel like rejecting him was a cruel act.

However…

“I won’t marry her.”
