About Her Work

"Just lift your hands up a little." Xia Xingchen did not look at him and lowered her head, focused on helping him wear his clothes. "Hmm, just like that… Okay, done. You can put your hands down."

After he had properly worn his clothes, she patiently buttoned up his shirt one button at a time. The diamond buttons glittered and sparkled and the light even shone in her eyes.

She took the tie and tiptoed herself to put on it on him.

Her movements were swift as though she had done it many times.

Bai Yeqing's gaze fell on her skilled fingers for the fourth time, and he finally asked, "Do you do this often?"

"Huh?" Xia Xingchen raised her eyes in astonishment.

His chin pointed at her hand movements and his brows furrowed. "Wearing the tie."

It seemed as if she was already seasoned in tying a tie, so which man did she help put it on?

"Ah? Oh." Xia Xingchen came to the realization and replied, "Yeah, when Dabai was in kindergarten, he had to wear the tie so I learned it. What's wrong?"

So, that was the case.

"It's nothing." Although Bai Yeqing had little emotions on his face as though he just casually asked that question, his brows unknowingly relaxed.

His facial expression looked better, too.

Leng Fei stared at them from the side, and he praised, "Miss Xia, I really couldn't tell you are such a loving and caring mother. No wonder Mister President didn't trust anyone but you when he was hurt."

Bai Yeqing glared at Leng Fei. He was really a big mouth.

Xia Xingchen said, "Don't seek happiness from me. If I was really a loving and doting wife, why wouldn't I still not have a boyfriend now?"

"Whoever marries you, it's that person's fortune. If you want to get a boyfriend, I can find one for you anytime."

"Really?" Xia Xingchen pulled an eye smile as she tilted her head to look at him. She then joked, "Sure then I will trust with my marriage."

"Rest assured, I will take this matter to heart. If I really see a suitable man, I will definitely…"

"Secretary Leng, when have you become a part-time matchmaker?" A faint voice cut off Leng Fei's words.

The man's sharp as a cold arrow gaze slid past Leng Fei and onto Xia Xingchen.

Leng Fei understood and immediately shut his mouth.

When he had just arrived, he realized that there seemed to be something wrong between Mister President and Miss Xia. Now that he was closer, there was definitely something going on between them.

Xia Xingchen merely thought that Leng Fei's 'disengagement in honest work' made the President unhappy; hence, she did not say anything and focused on her work.

After a while, she said, "It's done."

After the vest and suit were worn, she stepped back.

He looked like a totally different person now with the proper dress-up, as compared to earlier on where he wore a patient's clothes.

As he lay there and needed her care, he looked easier to get close with.

Now, after he changed his demeanor, he stood there like an emperor.

His whole body exuded the aura of one who set the world to rights. It made one feel as though he was a summit that was difficult to climb and one could not help but succumb under him.

This look was the real Bai Yeqing, President of Country S.

While she was a normal person, and the only thing she could do was to admire.

"Miss Xia, your excellency is mostly recovered. From today onwards, you can return to the President's Manor." Leng Fei's voice cut off her thoughts.

She raised her head and Bai Yeqing had already walked out of the bedroom.

Even his back view was tall and straight, making him look energized.

"Do I go back today?" Xia Xingchen didn't think it would be so fast and instinctively glanced at his back view. "What if Doctor Fu wants to change the medicine…"

"As long as your excellency can successfully hide the truth from the media, changing medicine would not be a problem in the future."

"That's good." Xia Xingchen nodded her head. "I will pack up my things and leave."

"Sure. The chauffeur will be waiting for you outside. We will take our leave."

"Go ahead." Xia Xingchen thought for a while before urging him. "His wound is still pretty bad, don't let him exhaust himself out."

Leng Fei smiled. "I'll listen to you."

His smile seemed to show that he understood everything and made Xia Xingchen feel a little bad. Luckily, Leng Fei did not stay any longer and hurriedly left with a row of people.

As she saw the cars slowly vanishing from her sight, Xia Xingchen felt strangely depressed.

She was going back and would see Xia Dabai again, shouldn't she be happy?

…

In the car.

Bai Yeqing asked, "Why didn't you tell me about her work?"

Leng Fei replied, "You didn't ask so I didn't say."

Miss Xia's work matter could not be any smaller than the country's matter. Why would he mention such matters to him at that time?

"Use any person's name and visit them." Bai Yeqing's tone was light as he looked outside the window.

Leng Fei asked, "Do you want Miss Xia to return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"As long as she is given a chance to retake the examination."

She had prepared a lot for the examination, so he wanted her to have another chance to prove her ability to others.

Leng Fei understood his words and glanced at the President. He seemed to want to say something but stopped himself again.

Bai Yeqing turned his head and glanced at him. "Speak your mind."

"You and Miss Xia…"

"What are you worried about?"

"Actually, it can't be considered as being worried. It's just that Miss Song has specially contacted me several times and was quite concerned for your excellency. I can see that she has quite an interest in a joint marriage."

Bai Yeqing stayed silent for a long time and had a dark expression. No one could tell what he was thinking about. Finally, he slightly nodded his head. "I know what to do."

After hearing his words, Leng Fei did not say anything.

People who did great things had always clearly differentiated the important matters from those which are not. In front of the country and power, the love of their children was only sacrificial matters.

Every person of paramount authority knew that fact.

Throughout the journey, Bai Yeqing had not said a single word and merely flipped through the investigation files on the White Plaza's explosion that Leng Fei handed him.

Fu Yichen had given him a butorphanol injection to suppress the pain from his wounds. Now, he could forcefully bear the pain.

…

On the other side.

Vice-President Yu's secret study room's door was knocked upon.

"Enter." Yu Zeyao's voice drifted in from the study room and Ah Xian pushed the door open before respectfully saying, "Mister, Second Young Master has arrived."

"Let him come in."

Yu Zenan walked in and closed the door before asking, "Big brother, the matter I asked you to settle on the phone previously, have you settled it?"

"To let Xia Xingchen return to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs?"

"Oh right! How is it?"

"Relax, I will settle it today." Yu Zeyao took the controller and switched on the television screen in the study room. The television news appeared.

"That's great." Yu Zenan raised his beautiful brows. "If you want my girl to be in my hands, you have to settle it properly for me. If not, I will lose face. But I hadn't asked you yet!"

Yu Zenan walked to his big brother's side and only saw him placing his attention on the television news.
