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

In the news report, Mister President stood in the middle of the crowd and everything was going according to plan now that the situation was under his control.

Yu Zeyao furrowed his brows. He did not think that Bai Yeqing was so lucky.

“Big brother, I’m asking you a question!” Yu Zenan waved his hands in front of him. “You did not tell me how special Xia Xingchen is, so I have to personally deal with her.”

“You are not supposed to deal with her, you are supposed to marry her!” Yu Zeyao took the controller and switched the television off before answering his younger brother with a serious attitude.

Yu Zenan raised his brow. “She is not any rich daughter and her dad is just a mere mayor. Will you let me marry her?”

“Then, do you know who her mother is?”

“Mother? The person that you mentioned, her surname is Li… Pass me the details, I have not taken a careful look at it yet.”

“That is only her stepmother. Eight years ago, Madam Lanting pleaded with me to find her daughter in Country S. I spent eight years to finally have a lead.”

Yu Zenan was shocked. “Are you saying that… Xia Xingchen is Madam Lanting’s daughter?”

“Indeed.”

Who was Madam Lanting? She belonged to Country S but was more of an internationally famous figure. She had joined countries together and was responsible for holding many countries’ military and political figures on the line.

“I didn’t expect that woman to have such a family background. Was she even clear about it herself?”

“She was left in the dark, so naturally she doesn’t know. I hadn’t mentioned this matter to Madam Lanting yet.”

“Why not?”

“I will tell her only after you marry her and she officially becomes part of the Family Yu. If not, once her identity is made public, all of the men will become your love rival, including Bai Yeqing.”

Yu Zenan disapprovingly gave a hmph. “Vice-President Yu, do you really have so little trust in me? Even if all of the people in Country S become my love rivals, including Bai Yeqing, I will still have no problem in taking her down with my charisma.”

“Don’t boast around! If you have nothing to tell me, then go and play by yourself. I have many matters to settle here.”

“Sure, I won’t disturb you any further. But don’t forget the matter I told you to settle,” Yu Zenan said once more.

If that woman knew that the job she lost was back again, she would definitely be happy, right?

Yu Zenan’s mood improved as he thought about the promise they previously made to meet after ten days. He really counted his fingers to live through his life these few days.

…

In the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they never expected to receive two important calls. Moreover, both calls were about Xia Xingchen.

One was from the President’s Manor to let her take the examination again while another was from the Vice-President’s side to let her enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs without needing to take the test.

The Human Resources department got a big shock and looked at Xia Xingchen’s details. Who was this remarkable woman, who had such a large honor, that she made the President and Vice-President help her?

But after taking a careful look, other than being prettier than normal people, she did not have anything special.

On this side.

Xia Xingchen had just returned to the President’s Manor. After she had finished packing her things, she received a call from the head of the Human Resource department, Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She was beyond flattered.

“Are you saying… I can take the examination again?”

“Yes, Miss Xia. But if you do not wish to take the examination, you can still get in straight away as well.”

Actually, it was meaningless whether she took the examination or not. Anyway, there was only one result—she would get in!

Who dared to oppose when two powerful authorities had called them? Wasn’t it considered courting their death if they did oppose it?

“No, I definitely have to take the examination. But I want to ask, I have already lost my right to take the test for I wasn’t able to partake in it previously, so why was I able to enter again?”

“You don’t have to ask this question because we only received a notification at our end.”

Notification from the higher-ups?

Xia Xingchen thought it would be Bai Yeqing?

Could it be that… he really called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for such a small matter like hers?

But even if he really called, it was only to compensate her!

Xia Xingchen thought about the cold and aloof words he said that day and her heart became empty. She was not clear of these feelings at the moment.

…

In the evening.

After tucked Xia Dabai to sleep, she bathed and then proceeded to lean on the bed to read her books. She was attending the official examination tomorrow.

Since he had given her a chance again, she had to take it and not disappoint him.

But…

It was already nine o’clock in the evening, yet he had not returned home.

Today, he stood in front of the media for two hours and she was worried whether his body could take it or not.

For those two hours, Xia Xingchen’s eyes did not leave the television screen not even once, and she watched the live-stream attentively. Her heart was stuck in her throat as though it would jump out at any time. Only after the live-stream ended, was she able to finally relax.

Could it be he was not planning to return to the President Manor tonight?

When Xia Xingchen was thinking about it, a few streaks of light shone through the window from outside.

She got up almost immediately and walked to the window with her barefoot. When she looked out, it was indeed his row of cars entering the manor.

Xia Xingchen quickly pulled the door open and walked out before rushing down the staircase. As she descended the stairway, he entered and behind him was Leng Fei and a row of people.

As though their hearts beat as one or it was just a mere coincidence, he raised his head slightly and met her worried gaze.

“Miss Xia, why haven’t you gone to sleep?” Leng Fei greeted her first.

She then realized that she was too nervous that she ran out without her shoes.

Would he think that she looked ridiculous? Or make him feel that she was a burden?

His gaze stayed on her and he noted her uneasiness. Finally, she pulled a smile at Leng Fei and found an excuse for herself. “I was reading a book just now and was thirsty so I came down and poured a glass of water for myself. I didn’t think that you would come back as well.”

“Just leave such things for the maid to do.” It was Bai Yeqing who replied to her with a tone that was neither cold nor warm. He turned his head and ordered, “Pour a glass of water for Miss Xia.”

“Yes, Mister President.”

The maid received the order and quickly walked to the kitchen. With that, Xia Xingchen had no reason to stay any longer.

She shyly said ‘thank you’ and walked back up. Compared to the rushed footsteps earlier on, her footsteps slowed down a lot.

Leng Fei and the others did not stay at President’s Manor for long and quickly left.

Bai Yeqing was tired and made the maid leave before sitting in the living room alone. Without anyone by his side, he showed the pain he felt other than his tiredness.
