As Xia Xingcheng saw him, she was dumbfounded, her mouth open, not knowing what to say. She didn’t expect to bump into this guy so soon! What a sudden coincidence! Tonight, he was dressed in a bespoke tailored suit, showing off his straight and slender figure. He had very cleat-cut features and was very well built. He was giving off an unspeakably thrilling vibe from every inch of his body.
Others were still guessing about his identify while Su Haisheng’s countenance had completely changed and he hurried to come forward, shouting, “President Sheng, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
This man turned out to be that legendary President Sheng, who was said to be so powerful that he could control the stance of economic policy and shake the financial circle at any time and any place.
Mr. Xia didn’t seem to believe what he had heard and he didn’t expect that Mr. Sheng could be so young.
Xia Xingyan became pale all of a sudden and pulled Xu Hao next to her, keeping her voice down, and said disconcertedly, “Why! Isn’t this guy the one who picked Xia Xingcheng up at the airport that day?”
Barely had her voice died down when, as if it was to confirm her thoughts, Bao, who was standing in the corner, immediately ran to Sheng Yeting, hugging his leg and shouting, “Dad, you are here!”
Xia Xingcheng was so embarrassed that she just wanted to cover her face and run away. The conversation in the car that day was still vivid. She didn’t want to owe him another favour.
“Dad?” When Mr. Xia heard the way that Bao addressed Sheng Yeting, he seemed to be struck by thunder. He was so stunned that he stood still and then he turned his head to Xia Xincheng hurriedly and asked her, “The father of your child is President Sheng?”
Xia Xingcheng didn’t know how to answer this question but slightly pressed her lips in and turned to Sheng Yeting.
She didn’t expect it but Sheng Yeting bent over to pick Bao up without hesitation, held him in his arms and then reached out his hand to stroke Xingcheng’s cheeks smilingly. “Didn’t we agree to attend the ceremony together? How come you came first without me?”
His fingers touching her cheeks felt as if they were on fire, licking and burning her skin. Xia Xingcheng blushed and turned away subconsciously, and for a while she was unable to speak a word.
Sheng Yeting didn’t seem to mind it but glanced aside, and his gaze passed over Su Haisheng who had lost his composure completely. Su Haisheng was so frightened by Sheng Yeting’s glance that he immediately nodded and bowed to apologize. “I am so blind that I did not know Miss Xia is with Mr. Sheng. I’ll leave first, excuse me, excuse me.” He was all in a fluster, and after he said this he left the hall in a hurry without waiting for Mr. Xia’s response.
Mr. Xia could do nothing but stood there at a loss. His mind was full of complaints about Xia Xingcheng. Since she had such a relationship with Sheng Yeting, how could she not say a word to her family?
Mr. Xia hesitated and tried to say something but Sheng Yeting directly ignored him. He carried the child with one hand and put the other arm around Xia Xingcheng’s shoulder, indicating, “Shall we? Will you accompany me to have a rest over there?”
Then without the slightest hesitation he ignored Mr. Xia and passed him over, taking Xia Xingcheng and her son out of the spot.
When they reached the side where no one paid much attention, Xia Xingcheng finally broke away from this man’s arm. She stepped back and asked, “Why do you want to help me?”
“I didn’t,” Sheng Yeling sneered, pulled her wrist and whispered in her ear. “But for you, such an ungrateful little thing, I have to get even with you, don’t I?”
When he spoke to her, he purposely leaned close to Xia Xingcheng’s ear and his breathing was amorous and ambiguous. Xia Xingcheng recognized that he had meant for the incident with the 100 yuan note to occur. She still felt a little uneasy, so she retreated from him. She did not expect that he was a man who actually bore grudges, but his helping her was also for the sake of getting even with her someday. She was a little slow to regain her senses, so she came up and snatched Bao back and then kept some distance away from him watching him in alert.
Looking at Xia Xingcheng’s dark eyes, which were staring at him like a little beast, Sheng Yeting could not help but laugh and lower his body. He approached her ear and chuckled, “Don’t be so nervous. Once I lay my eyes on a prey, I won’t let it run away. Be a lamb and wait for me here.”
After he said this he turned to go somewhere else, leaving Xia Xingcheng standing with the child in her arms, when the rhythm of her heart became rather uneven. She had never felt this way in all these years and her cheeks were burning as if she had a fever.
