After Xia Xingchen successfully passed the test, it was announced on the spot that she would officially join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“Miss Xia, please take care of me in the future.”

The person-in-charge of the Human Resource department personally came to shake hands with her and was very polite. Xia Xingchen was shocked by the amount of attention she was receiving and thought that it was on the account of Yu Zenan. She suddenly felt more curious about Yu Zenan’s identity.

Could he also be a reputable politician?

When she came out after she took her application letter, Chi Weiyang was already waiting there. Xia Xingchen proudly waved her application letter at her and Chi Weiyang also hugged her excitedly. “You have to treat me to a meal! This is a happy occasion after all!”

Xia Xingchen agreed. “No problem.”

“However, before you treat me to a meal, you must give me a clear explanation.” Chi Weiyang could not forget the matter that had accidentally slipped out of Xia Xincheng’s mouth.

Xia Xingchen took a look at the corridor and realized that they were stuck in a crowd of people. As many were looking, she carefully pulled Chi Weiyang to the rooftop.

During this season, the wind had a faint coldness to it.

Xia Xingchen explained everything to Chi Weiyang in a soft tone of voice. Chi Weiyang widened her mouth in surprise and was not able to close it even after a long time.

“Xingchen, Xingchen, quickly pinch me!” Chi Weiyang said, “Quickly pinch me and check whether I am dreaming.”

Xia Xingchen really wanted to laugh at her and pinched her cheeks.

Chi Weiyang gave an ‘Aiyo’ and was so happy that she bounced around. “It’s not a dream. My godson is actually the President’s son? Oh my gosh, this is too unbelievable. What kind of luck is this for you to actually have a chance to become the President’s wife?”

“Alright, you are going too far!” Xia Xingchen pulled Chi Weiyang to her side and lowered her voice. “What do you mean by the President’s wife? We are not how you think we are to be.”

“Why not? When both of you already have a kid? Could it be that he doesn’t want to take responsibility?”

Xia Xingchen’s gaze looked ahead and remained silent for a while before saying, “I don’t need him to take responsibility. If he married me because he needs to take responsibility, I don’t want it to happen either. Besides… he already has a fiance.”

“Who?”

“Deputy President Song, do you know him?”

“Of course.”

“The daughter of the Deputy President, Miss Song. They belong to the same world.”

Chi Weiyang took a look at Xia Xingchen and did not talk anymore. The excitement she felt just now suddenly turned bland.

The President was like a star in the starry night sky and for people like them, they could only watch that star from afar. If they really want to touch that star, how hard must it be?

Chi Weiyang said, “Xingchen if you don’t want yourself to be so sad in the future, don’t fall for him.”

Xia Xingchen gave a light chuckle. “You don’t have to worry about it. I am aware of it.”

“That’s good.” Chi Weiyang also patted her shoulders.

…

In the evening.

In the President’s office, Fu Yichen quietly came to change his bandages.

“You are recovering well. It seems that Miss Xia is your magic medicine.”

Bai Yeqing glanced at him. “What has that has to do with her?”

Upon the mention of that woman, he suddenly thought of the blind date incident.

He tightly furrowed his eyebrows.

“How could this have nothing to do with her? She is your pain killer.” Fu Yichen teased, “The way you relieve your pain was really an eye-opener for me.”

Leng Fei, who was at a corner, did not know what happened and could only ask, “There is a way to relieve pain that Doctor Fu is not aware of?”

“Have you ever seen someone kiss to relieve pain?”

“Shut up!” Bai Yeqing wore a cold expression. “If you continue spouting nonsense, get out of here.”

“Alright, I’m done bandaging.” Fu Yichen laughed and did not continue talking further.

It was fine once he was done with his teasing.

Leng Fei asked, “It’s already so late. Your excellency, are you going to spend the night at the President’s office?”

Bai Yeqing thought about it for a while. “No, I am going home.”

“…” Leng Fei nodded.

Mr. President has changed.

In the past, he would not even go back to President’s Manor once a month since he was always too busy and would usually spend the night in the President’s office. However, he started to go home more frequently now. He did not even know if it was because of the Little master or of a certain woman at home.

…

Xia Xingchen was carrying the clothes to the disinfection room. Although there were maids to do all this work, she still wanted to do the chores herself. After all, she had to leave this house one day; hence, she did not want to allow herself to get used to everything there.

She walked out of the room and once she assessed the atmosphere downstairs, she knew that the President was already home. Xia Xingchen thought for a while but she did not stop walking and continued on to the disinfection room.

“Mr. President!” The slender man walked in with heavy steps and all the maids greeted him politely. There were already people walking forward to take his coat.

“Have you eaten?” asked the butler.

“No.”

“The kitchen staff will prepare some food for you. Please wait at the cafeteria for a while.”

“What’s the menu?”

The butler told him the menu and he listened with his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

It sounded very scrumptious but he did not have any appetite.

“Xia Xingchen!”

When she was about to disappear from the corridor, a cold voice stopped her.

She froze.

She looked down at him.

“I am hungry. I want to eat dumplings.”

No way.

Did that mean that the President wanted her to cook for him?

“His excellency wants to eat dumplings. Quickly prepare,” the butler ordered the maids beside him.

Bai Yeqing raised his hand to stop him and looked at Xia Xingchen. “Come down.”

…

Xia Xingchen knew that she could outright reject him, but she felt that he had bewitched her. Besides, what was the relation between him being hungry and her? Moreover, she had already warned herself earlier on that she must keep her distance from that man.

Even if she wanted to reject him, her mouth refused to say her thoughts out loud. Her mind was only filled with his words ‘I am hungry’ and he looked so pitiful just by saying it—like a kid who everyone had ignored.

Whatever! He was not able to eat his dinner because he was busy settling the country’s matters.

After all, with regards to the recent case on the White Plaza, he had to calm his residents down and the case really burned him out. The good thing was he was settling the case very well.

Xia Xingchen sighed and casually passed her clothes to the maid before slowly walking down the stairs.

She walked directly to the kitchen while Bai Yeqing went upstairs to bathe. Both of them passed by each other, but he never spared her a glance. With that said, he had been very cold to her and did not treat her very well in the past few days.

Xia Xingchen by then was used to it.

She took the dumplings from the fridge and the maid came in to ask if she needed any help. She shook her head and rejected.

The maid said, “I didn’t even know that Mr. President likes to eat such food. He used to be very picky and would never touch frozen food.”

“Perhaps, he was just suddenly interested in it.”

The maid nodded her head and wrote down the President’s food interest in a notebook. It seems that the fridge will be filled with dumplings from now on.

Xia Xingchen had already finished cooking the dumplings when the President came down.

When she carried a bowl of dumplings to the dining room, he was already sitting there while he was reading something. The words looked foreign to her as though it was all greek to her.
