Two Hundred and Fifty Eighth True Love (Eight)

In the afternoon, as soon as Mr. President appeared in the office, Leng Fei was summoned in.

"In a few days, my uncle will be released from prison." Bai Yeqing said as he took off his coat, put it on the sofa beside him, and asked, "The daughter of Mrs. Lanting who I asked you to investigate last time, is there any Have you got your eyebrows?"

"There are already clues. It shouldn't be long before there will be definite news."

"So... my cousin is still alive?"

"Temporary news is that she was adopted. As for whether there have been any accidents over the years, this point cannot be determined for the time being."

Bai Yeqing nodded slightly, sat down at the desk, crossed his hands, and folded them on the table, "Let the person who investigates this matter as soon as possible! I hope I can give my uncle a surprise, and it can be regarded as a comfort for him."

"Okay, I'll explain it now." Leng Fei responded, turned around and was about to go out, but suddenly remembered something, paused: "By the way, this—your Excellency, are you injured?"

Leng Fei handed the ointment to Mr. President.

Bai Yeqing took a look, and his gaze deepened. Turning to look at Leng Fei, "Who brought it here?"

"At lunch today, Ms. Xia asked me to bring it. However, she meant that I should not tell you that it was given by her." Leng Fei directly confessed the whole thing, without even trying to hide anything.

Bai Yeqing pondered for a moment, his gaze remained on the ointment for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking. In the end, it was just a wave of the hand, "Get out."

……………………

While Xia Xingchen was working hard, the phone on the desk suddenly rang. While she was concentrating on translating documents, she answered the phone and said softly, "Hello, this is the President's Office. Where is it?"

"Come up."

On the other side of the phone, there are only two simple words. The voice was all too familiar. Xia Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask something, but the other side just hung up the phone.

This man!

The words are always so simple and crisp!

She muttered dissatisfiedly, hung up the phone, tidied up her clothes and obediently took the elevator upstairs.

Xia Xingchen went upstairs,

Still the same as usual, and greeted everyone with a slight nod. The female secretary in his secretary's office has already stepped forward, "Miss Xia, please come with me."

Xia Xingchen nodded and followed her to the president's office. The secretary knocked on the door lightly, and when he heard his voice, he said, "Mr. President, Miss Xia is here."

"Come in."

The secretary pushed the door open, and made a 'please' gesture with Xia Xingchen.

She walked in slowly and gently closed the heavy door. Bai Yeqing was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, flipping through the documents. There was no trace of dust on the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the warm winter sun in the afternoon shone in through the glass, coating his body with a dazzling golden light.

Xia Xingchen didn't dare to look at it - some people are born with such magical powers, even if they just sit there quietly without doing anything, they can easily make people unable to take their eyes off - she bowed with her chest in her arms, "President Sir, what do you need from me?"

"What does this mean?" Bai Yeqing didn't look at her, but just raised his eyes, and glanced at the ointment he threw on the coffee table.

Xia Xingchen saw it and understood. It seems that Leng Fei didn't hide it from her, or she didn't hide it from her at all.

That being the case, she simply admitted it. "You have an injury on your back. I heard from Leng Fei that you haven't seen a doctor. So, I bought this for you temporarily."

Is it a temporary purchase?

Of course she was lying. It was actually yesterday -->>

When I went out for a walk at night, I saw a pharmacy and went in subconsciously. When he came out, he had an extra stick of ointment in his hand. Sometimes, a matter that has been on my mind for a long time will naturally become a subconscious matter.

Bai Yeqing put down the document in his hand, stood up suddenly, looked at her from top to bottom, "Don't you hate me very much, since you hate me so much, why did you buy this for me?"

He tensed up, staring at her closely.

I don't know what kind of answer I am expecting from her. At least, he knew that when he first saw this ointment, he felt that the injury he suffered yesterday was worth it.

Xia Xingchen didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, and was only worried that he would get angry with him like last time, so he quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to 'provoke' you..."

She pursed her lips before continuing: "After all, you were injured because of me. If my wound is infected again, I will feel sorry. That's why I prepared this medicine."

So, she came to give herself the ointment just because of guilt? Rather than caring!

Inexplicable disappointment hit my heart. He was quite dissatisfied with this answer!

He stared at her condensedly for a long while, which made Xia Xingchen's scalp tingle, and he was a little confused about what he meant.

Just when he felt overwhelmed, he only heard him say, "Just because, are you sorry?"

He bit down on the last four words.

Xia Xingchen didn't make a sound.

From Bai Yeqing's point of view, her silence was an acquiescence.

The lines of his face were tense, and his hands were put in his pockets.

"In this case, there is nothing important in the future. I hope that Miss Xia will keep a distance from me and my people—" He stared at her heavily, his tone so cold that there was no warmth in it, "I really don't want to be misunderstood. Don’t do such misleading things again.”

He hated it from the bottom of his heart, this feeling of being soared by a small move of hers, and then smashed down by her! He Bai Yeqing had never had such a time when his emotions were controlled by others!

She was stunned for a moment.

so……

What he meant by this was...to ask her to stay away from him and to have nothing to do with him, right?

……………………………

Xia Xingchen didn't know how he got out of the president's office. When he came back to his senses, he had already reached the door.

Standing there tensed, he exhaled heavily, but his chest was still stuffy, like a whole ball of cotton stuffed.

Leng Fei just came out of the secretary's room, her sad profile fell into his eyes, and she asked worriedly: "Miss Xia, are you okay?"

She recovered. Pulling his lips and smiling, "It's okay. I'll go down first."

The smile on the face is as far-fetched as possible.

Cold coffee can see. sigh. In the past two days, why do you feel that people all over the world are in such a bad mood?

"I'll take you down." Leng Fei made a 'please' gesture. Xia Xingchen nodded and walked forward silently.

In the office.

Bai Yeqing sat there, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and then extinguished it heavily. Chest, boredom.

Staring fixedly at the ointment, her hurt expression when she left at the end flashed over and over again in her mind, and her chest ached.

She can do it! She was the one who provoked him and dumped him first, but in the end, it seemed that he bullied her and hurt her?
