Two Hundred and Seventy-Six Mr. Bai and Mrs. Bai (5)

Turning around, I saw him standing at the door wearing home clothes. A gray pullover, camel trousers, and a pair of cotton slippers. Hands in pockets.

It was so simple to wear, but when it was put on him, it had a different effect. Xia Xingchen could clearly feel his heartbeat. During these days of cold war between the two of them, she rarely even had the opportunity to look directly at him like this.

"Save the movie for next time. Come out and walk in the garden with me." He said. After speaking, he looked up at her, but he had no intention of asking her opinion. The movie had been cut off for her, and it was clear that she had no choice, so Xia Xingchen stood up.

……………………

It's very cold outside. The weather tonight is not very good. It's windy outside. Xia Xingchen was wrapped in a cloak, but she was still shivering from the cold.

Bai Yeqing walked beside her. In comparison, he was still wearing the thin pullover, but he was much colder than her. Seeing her curling up into a ball and leaning closer to him unconsciously, his brows softened a little.

He reached out and took her hand calmly. Sure enough, her palms felt cold. He took it and put it in his pocket.

Xia Xingchen wanted to ask him why he went out for a walk so late at night and in such cold weather, but after feeling the warmth in his palms, he stopped asking.

She thinks this is... good...

Bai Yeqing didn't really have time to enjoy the cold breeze with her in the manor late at night. Instead, he led her to the Red Wine Beiyuan in the right corner of the manor. When she lived here before, Xia Xingchen knew that the presidential palace was divided into many areas, but she had never been here before.

"Mr President."

As soon as they arrived, the staff of Beiyuan had already greeted them. At this point, it seems like they are still making wine. He was wearing an apron with red wine stains on it.

"Thank you for your hard work." Bai Yeqing nodded slightly and walked inside, followed by Xia Xingchen slowly. Bai Yeqing came here for work, and Xia Xingchen only realized belatedly that this batch of newly brewed wine would be delivered to the United Nations in person when he went abroad for a visit in a few days.

so……

In a few days, he will go abroad again?

In the temperature-controlled wine cellar, he and the winemaker were talking about things. She was sipping the wine and tasting the taste. She was thinking secretly, her eyes always lingering on him unconsciously.

He is really busy, flying here and there.

I don’t know how long it will take to leave. So, before he left, she wanted to have something clear with him...

While he was thinking about it, the winemaker nodded and exited. His gaze turned sideways and met her gaze. Xia Xingchen was embarrassed. He had no choice but to hide, so he didn't hide. He could only pretend to be calm and sip his wine.

"You're here to work, and you're bringing me with you?" Xia Xingchen saw that he had been standing where he was, staring at her for a moment. She uncomfortably gathered her cloak and complained softly. .

However, fortunately, the temperature in the wine cellar is always constant and it is not too cold.

and……

Even though I was watching him work, I didn't feel bored at all. Xia Xingchen didn't know what was going on with him. His mood was so subtle that it was hard to describe.

"I went to see the old lady today."

Bai Yeqing suddenly spoke. Xia Xingchen looked at him suspiciously, but he didn't come closer. The two of them were five meters away.

"Old lady-->>

Why don't you tell me what's wrong with you right away? "He asked again.

Xia Xingchen lowered her eyelashes slightly, looked down at the wine in her hand, and then said after a while: "...I was on the plane at that time, and I turned off the phone just after answering her call."

"That's just an excuse."

Bai Yeqing looked straight at her.

"The old lady said... that night is your family banquet, and Lan Ye will also be there. If I had sense, I shouldn't have called to disturb you."

"You are really a very knowledgeable person." Bai Yeqing commented to her, but there was a hint of displeasure in his words.

Xia Xingchen still clearly remembers the old lady's sharp words.

"What the old lady said has already been said, and I have my own temper. Besides..."

Speaking of this, she paused slightly for a moment. Bai Yeqing then walked towards her, his tall figure shrouding her from above. Xia Xingchen's breathing paused slightly, and she only heard the man's low voice asking: "Besides, what?"

"We... In fact, in the final analysis, our relationship is nothing other than children... If your mother says this, how can I have the nerve to bother you? And in what capacity can I bother you?"

Bai Yeqing frowned.

Raise your hand and lift her face. In the wine cellar, the lights were dim, and each other's eyes met. His eyes were a little gloomy, "I have nothing to do with you, so in your opinion, who does have a relationship with you?"

His voice was extremely low, with a somewhat dangerous tone, "Yu Zenan?"

When he mentioned it, he put a little more force on his fingertips. Xia Xingchen felt pain, her brows furrowed, and she clasped his hand, "You mentioned him again. Those reports in the media are completely false. I went on a business trip with him, it was strictly business, it had nothing to do with vacation, let alone Are you in love?"

Hearing what she said, the gloomy look on his brows dissipated a little, and the fingers holding her chin loosened their grip, but they didn't let him go, "Are you not in love?"

"……of course not."

He came closer to her, "But you were between him and me, and you chose him!"

He still remembers what happened that day.

He was getting closer and closer, and as long as she took a gentle breath, her breath would be filled with his fragrance. Mixed with the mellow aroma of red wine that was everywhere in the wine cellar, her heart trembled violently. Her body subconsciously took a step back and leaned against the wine barrel. Unable to retreat, she softly defended: "How could I have chosen him? Who is it? No choice.”

"But you said I hate it." He put his hands on her sides.

"Don't you hate it?"

"Why do you hate it?"

Xia Xingchen glared at him, "That day you..."

At this point, he stopped talking, and a thin layer of rosiness appeared on his face. She remembered that day in the dark stairwell, he was talking to herself...

"How am I doing?" Bai Yeqing looked at her searchingly, touching the redness on her face, and he had a vague understanding in his heart. He didn't even want to let her go just like that, so he lowered his head slightly to look at her. His face was surprisingly close, so close that her breathing quickened, and she felt her heart pounding, and he could feel it clearly.

Xia Xingchen knew that he was asking questions knowingly, so she pushed him and said, "You are done, let's go back."

Bai Yeqing clasped one of her hands and pressed it on his shoulder, while he held her waist with the other hand. "Mrs. Bai, tell me clearly, why do I hate you?"
