Bai Suye made it pretty clear. As an outsider, she's more sensible. And Xia Xingchen was smart enough to get her point.

Xia Xingchen lifted her head and looked into her eyes. "Don't worry about that. Not to mention that Mr. President doesn't care about me that much, even if he does, I know very well that we are from different worlds. As you just said, a lot of women are seeking the chance to live here but they can't. I'm no better than them. I want to live here, too. But I understand. This place never belongs to me."

Xia Xingchen turned to look at the house behind her. The splendid presidential residence. The glazed tiles reflected the dazzling sunlight, which made her unable to open her eyes. After a while, she turned her head and said to Bai Suye. "The house is going to welcome its new hostess soon. And I don't want to be thrown out."

The most important thing is…

She will never allow herself to love him like a moth to a flame.

Bai Suye walked away. Xia Xingchen sits over there for quite a long time. She could still feel the freezing cold inside her even if she had a cape on. She just sat there for a long time, like forever, until a maid walked up and reminded her it's cold outside.

The kid was still sleeping. Xia Xingchen went to visit Xu Yan with some fruits to show her gratitude. She didn't plan to stay for long but she never thought she would meet Xia Xingkong there.

When they meet, Xia Xingkong gave her a bitter look that tended to tear her apart. But she pretended to smile in front of Xu Yan's parents.

Xia Xingchen didn't mean to bother her. She brought the stuff there, stayed for a while and quickly said goodbye to Xu Yan's parents. This time they didn't try to make her stay, apparently, it's because of Xia Xingkong.

She went out, waiting for her car on the street.

"Xia Xingchen!"

Xia Xingkong came to her before her car.

"What's wrong?" She turned back to face Xia Xingkong.

"Don't you live in the presidential residence? Doesn't the president give you a car? You actually have to wait for a taxi, huh?" Xia Xingkong could never speak a good word to her.

"Now the hospital has already allowed the family to visit the patients. So now I'm going to visit Dad. If there's nothing, I'm gonna go now." A taxi just stopped, Xia Xingchen walked over.

Watching her leave, Xia Xingkong could not hold her voice anymore. "I just want to warn you to be practical. Just leave him and move out from the presidential residence."

Xia Xingchen frowned.

Who did she think she was?

"It's none of your business. Whether I choose to move out or not, there's no possibility for you to move into the house." Xia Xingchen gave her a cold look. "You'd better focus on Xu Yan."

"You—" Xia Xingkong was speechless with anger. She remembered what she was about to say when Xia Xingchen got in the taxi. "Xia Xingchen! Song Weiyi had already known the relationship between you and the president! I'll just wait and see what's gonna happen! She won't let it go!"

Her words squeezed into the taxi through the door. She frowned slightly.

Did Song Weiyi really know? But… what's their relationship though?

It's just a sort of dubious game.

Xia Xingchen went to see Xia Guopeng. Fortunately, his situation was getting better and he would recover soon. Xia Xingchen felt much better. It was about dinner when she got back to the presidential residence. Xia Dabai was awake and watching TV in his room. He's a big fan of the technology channel.

Xia Xingchen finally felt relaxed after making sure he's okay now. She remembered something and handed her phone to him.

"What?" He glanced at the phone and then turned his head to the tv again.

"Change it now."

"Change what?"

Xia Xingchen opened the contacts on her phone, pointing at the "husband in the future". "Change it before your father sees it."

She thought the name was too much. If Bai Yeqing saw it, he must think she's looking to take the place of First Lady.

Xia Dabai pouted his lips at her.

How could his father still be blind to notice this name?

"Don't you like it?" Xia Dabai didn't want to change it.

"No. I don't like it. I hate the name."

"Why?"

Xia Xingchen sat down next to the kid. "Because he's never gonna be my husband and I won't be his wife. The name is misleading. It's embarrassing."

"Is it? Okay, sure. I'll change it." Xia Dabai grabbed her phone. Xia Xingchen was touched. It's not easy for the kid to understand her feelings.

But…

"…well, Dabao. I forget how to do it."

"What?" Xia Xingchen was mad. "You did it on purpose! Absolutely!"

"I'm not…" Xia Dabai used his innocent eyes to look at her. "Maybe the drumsticks destroyed my memory. I just forget it now."

"……" Xia Xingchen took back her phone. "You are useless."

Apparently the touching moments disappeared quickly.

Xia Dabai grinned watching her. All he wanted was to make sure that Little Bai noticed the name.

The evening news was all about the trip he paid to Switzerland.

Xia Xingchen couldn't stop fiddling with the controls. But she stopped switching channels immediately when she saw the familiar face.

Switzerland was holding a world summit on energy construction. Many of the leaders were there. Standing among the best of them, he was the focus. His extraordinary temperament attracted everyone's attention under the flashlight.

Xia Xingchen wondered whether the unfinished promise still count.

In retrospect, the night was a pretty good jolt to her like burning in the fire.

But…

Bai Yeqing's parents and his sister cherished Dabai so much. Should she change her mind? Should she just let him be here? At least Bai Yeqing could teach Dabai how to be more persistent and brave.

People say that boys need their fathers' company.

Her phone rang while she was thinking about him. Surprised she found the name on the screen made her heart beat faster.
