Don't Be So Narcissistic

Xia Xingchen was stumped at the spot and could not snap back to her senses. It seemed that he had lost his patience, so he came to look at her and then grabbed her hand over.

It was not until her fingers touched his fingertips that Xia Xingchen suddenly came out of her trance. Her fingertips trembled and so did her heart.

"I'm fine." She actually got a little nervous that her eyelashes trembled profusely much like how a butterfly flaps its wings. Her voice turned lighter. "It's just a scratch…"

"You are so clumsy." Compared to how nervous she was, Bai Yeqing seemed calm.

Although his tone was filled with reproach, his gaze did not seem like he was reproaching her.

Her fingers were snowy white but the blood that continued to ooze from the wound looked very striking. He ordered, "Go out and let the doctor treat your wound. Since Miss Song likes crabs, ask the Butler to send another person in."

Did that mean… she did not have to remove the crab shell anymore?

The vengeance in Xia Xingchen's heart suddenly disappeared and she gave a soft hum. She retracted her hand away from his grip without leaving a trace. However, even after a while, her fingertips could still feel the warmth of his hand for it had lingered still.

That warmth traveled from her fingertips to her chest and finally to her heart…

She slightly raised her head and greeted Song Weiyi before leaving.

Song Weiyi had her eyes fixed on Xia Xingchen for quite a long time.

Was this woman really just a maid? Why did she have a feeling that Mr. President was especially concerned about her?

...............

Xia Xingchen walked out of the living room and her heart was thumping loudly.

She stared at the cut on her hand for a long while and suddenly felt that it was not that painful anymore.

But…

Just now, the President checked her wound in front of his future wife. Was he concerned about her?

In the next moment, she pouted out of embarrassment and thought that she was being too full of herself.

How could he possibly be concerned about her? It was probably just another of his obsessive-compulsive disorder! Since her hand was bleeding and she still had to remove the crab shell, he definitely would not swallow the crab meat down.

Xia Xingchen felt that this kind of reasoning sounded more realistic.

"Miss Xia, your hand is injured?" Leng Fei was very sharp and had noticed the wound on her finger with a glance.

"Oh, I'm fine." She smiled and shook her head.

The butler made a gesture and politely said, "Miss Xia, please follow me and let the doctor treat your wound."

Xia Xingchen looked up and walked, and to the Old butler, she said, "Send another person in to serve them. I am such a clumsy person. I can't even settle things properly."

"It must have been difficult for you."

"What are you talking about?! One of them is our President and the other is his future wife. I will be more than happy to help them."

The Butler smiled while looking at her for a while before saying in a pleased tone, "If you really think this way, that would be great. This would mean that his excellency had a good eye on picking people. He did not pick the wrong person during the selection process back then."

She understood the butler's words and curled her lips upward. "Don't worry, I know my place and have no thoughts of getting together with him just because we have a kid. I am very aware that our identities are very special."

"Sorry, Miss Xia. Please don't blame me for being nosey. I am doing this for your own good, too."

Xia Xingchen did not continue talking. She knew that the butler was right. Her heart should be as still as water and should not have any wishful thinking.

…

For the entire afternoon, Xia Xingchen was upstairs and did not come down again. She stood at the window upstairs and could clearly see Bai Yeqing accompanying Song Weiyi.

He first brought her to see the entire villa before bringing her to the winery. After that, he accompanied her to play golf in the field.

Both of them had a good time together. Even though she was just looking from afar, she still felt that it was a beautiful scene.

While looking, Xia Xingchen could not help but feel a sense of resonance. In the future, when a stepmother eventually appears in this house, would Dabai be taken advantage of? She, on the other hand… probably had to move out of the house anytime, right?

After dinner, Bai Yeqing sent Miss Song out to the door and soon, the chauffeur also brought Dabai home.

When Xia Dabai entered the house, he seemed to make a fuss and ignored everyone who tried to strike a conversation with him. He directly locked himself up in the children's room and did not want to come out.

Xia Xingchen could not even do anything about it and could only let him be. She had just then stepped out the bathroom after a long bath and was drying her hair, when all of a sudden, someone knocked on the door and pushed it open.

She raised her head and saw that it was Bai Yeqing standing at the door. She immediately turned off the hairdryer and stood up. "Mr. President."

"You didn't visit him?" asked Bai Yeqing.

"I went just now but he was very stubborn. No matter who persuaded him, it was of no use."

Bai Yeqing furrowed his eyebrows and took a glance at her. "His personality is like yours?"

Xia Xingchen felt sorry for herself and pouted. "I am not as stubborn as him."

Bai Yeqing glanced at her. "Whether you are stubborn or not, we shall see as time goes by. But one is for sure, you are a violent person."

Xia Xingchen made a crying face. This person clearly remembered that she had bitten him.

"Come on, let's go and see him," said Bai Yeqing.

"Coming." Her hair was still wet but she could not bother with it now. She could only sit in front of her dressing table and do some casual touch-ups.

Bai Yeqing stood at the door and waited. His gaze was instinctively fixed on her.

The pajamas she wore were very conservative. It was a silk flower nightdress and it ran down her thighs and covered her knees. The dress made her have the quality of a maiden.

With her legs exposed, they were as fair as snow that it could make anyone drool. Not to mention, her wet hair sitting on her shoulder made her look very fresh and pretty, and yet it still did not hide how sexy she still was.

Bai Yeqing's gaze turned deeper and it also seemed a little lustful.

Xia Xingchen stood up and turned her head over.

He did not have the time to shift his gaze and so, his eyes met her own. The lust in his eyes had not yet disappeared by then. Meanwhile, she, on the other hand, froze on her spot but her heart skipped a beat and her face turned beet red.

"Is… there something wrong?" asked Xia Xingchen in a nervous tone.

"No." He shook her head and slowly looked away to revert back to his usual calm self. He casually asked, "Is your hand alright?"

"It got treated so it doesn't feel so painful anymore."

"Hmm." He looked up.

Xia Xingchen walked out of her room and walked beside him.

He was 188cm in height and was considered very tall. With his height, she looked very small next to him.

Both of them walked alongside each other and she could smell his body's natural scent.

It was just like five years ago when they were together…
