Ruan Meng and Gu Xingxi in the back of the car were taken aback and took a while to recover.
“That was so close, so close. I’m scared to death.” Ruan Meng stroked her chest, still a little shocked.
Gu Xingxi looked anxiously at Xia Xingcheng and was relieved to see that she was fine.
Seeing her rubbing her head in annoyance, Gu Xingxi said softly, “Maybe I should drive. You take a break.”
Xia Xingcheng did not insist, nodded, and changed seats with Gu Xingxi.
Closing her eyes, Xia Xingcheng couldn’t help but laugh at what she just did. Only now did she realize that she started to care about the identity of the person in Sheng Yeting’s heart.
This was not good.
So, from now on, she must control her emotions, letting no other matter affecting her judgment.
After all, there were so many things between her and Sheng Yeting besides their contract.
The three of them soon arrived at the scene. Gu Xingxi’s advertising contract was signed very smoothly. After all, Gu Xingxi had accumulated a lot of popularity over a long period. Slowly, there had been a trend towards greater popularity.
In Xia Xingcheng’s words, for Gu Xingxi to become a star, it was only a matter of time.
After signing the contract, Xia Xingcheng gave Gu Xingxi and Ruan Meng a half-day off.
After all, health is wealth.
Xia Xingcheng didn’t go back to work either. She went directly home. At this time, Bao was still at school, so there were only several servants at home, a little lonely.
With this in mind, Xia Xingcheng sighed helplessly. When did she become afraid of being alone?
In the five years abroad, when she was alone with Bao abroad, helpless, but she never felt lonely like she did now.
Perhaps, once you had had something, you would become afraid of losing it.
There was no one else home, so Xia Xingcheng changed into a swimsuit and jumped into the huge swimming pool at Sheng Yeting’s home.
She had heard that exercise was the most effective way to make an important decision when you were in a mixed mood.
Xia Xingcheng swam for several rounds, but the feeling of annoyance did not decrease much.
If swimming was no good, she started running for a change.
Fortunately, Sheng Yeting had all the fitness equipment at home. Xia Xingcheng started to run on the treadmill.
She tuned it to full speed and the strenuous exercise seemed to reduce some of her fidgeting.
Soon it was evening. Bao came home and saw such a scene.
His mommy, who rarely exercised, was running on the treadmill in a tight tracksuit, nonstop even with the sweats.
Bao was really surprised, when did his mommy’s physical strength become so good?
He turned to asked Chen Ma, blinking his big eyes, “Nanny Chen, how long has my mommy been like this?”
Chen Ma thought for a while. “It’s been about a short afternoon. She came home early. This is not okay, but she wouldn’t stop.”
Bao nodded and immediately ran to his mommy and pulled out the power of the treadmill.
Xia Xingcheng was slightly stunned and looked down at Bao with some displeasure.
She had been really busy running and had just forgotten about Sheng Yeting.
Why would the little guy mess with her?
Seeing his mommy about to get angry, Bao rushed into his mommy’s arms and acted cute: “Mommy, I miss you. Stop running, okay?”
Seeing Bao’s needy appearance, Xia Xingcheng suddenly lost her temper and immediately took Bao in her arms.
“Okay, my bad. I won’t run anymore. I’ll play with you.”
Then Xia Xingcheng picked Bao up and went upstairs. Although she was smiling, she could not hide the sadness between her eyebrows.
Seeing such an expression, Bao couldn’t help but ask, “Mommy, what’s wrong with you?”
Xia Xingcheng shook her head and smiled lovingly. “I’m okay. Nothing’s wrong with me.”
Even if she told Bao, a little boy like Bao couldn’t solve it.
Bao pouted, knowing she did not want to tell him. So, he stopped asking.
In the future, he would show his mommy that he was no longer a child but an adult who could help with her worries.
Xia Xingcheng put Bao in her room and went to the bathroom to take a bath. After the running she was sweaty.
Seeing his mommy going to shower, Bao secretly took Xia Xingcheng’s mobile phone. He unlocked it expertly, found the person named “Sheng Yeting” and texted him: Mommy seems to be in a bad mood.
Sheng Yeting did not come home at that time. He was working overtime at work. When the screen lit up, he was reading files.
When Sheng Yeting saw the text from Xia Xingcheng’s number, he immediately realized it was from Bao.
So, he texted back: What’s wrong?
Seeing the reply, Bao immediately became ecstatic, and then texted back quickly like he was afraid of being found out by his mommy: I don’t know what’s going on. When mommy was in a bad mood before, she would hide it. She won’t tell me, I’m so worried.
After writing that, Bao also added a crying emoji.
After sending it, Bao wrote another one: Is mommy being bullied by someone at work?
After seeing this message, Sheng Yeting frowned and immediately thought of Sheng Chenfeng who had just been transferred back today.
Xia Xingcheng was in a bad mood just when Sheng Chenfeng had come back. Sheng Yeting’s intuition told him that there must have been something wrong. So, he ordered Jiang Quan aside, “Go and find out what Sheng Chenfeng did after he came back today.”
Jiang Quan had no suspicion that his boss ordered him to check on Sheng Chenfeng because his wife was unhappy.
In Jiang Quan’s speculation, Sheng Chenfeng must have been planning some schemes for the Sheng family’s meeting. Sheng Yeting must have sensed something and asked him to investigate.
How wise his boss was always! How prescient he was!
Jiang Quan began to feel excited at the thought of his great mission, which he and his boss had not done in a long time.
So, Jiang Quan went to investigate Sheng Chenfeng with great interest and excitement.
Jiang Quan was thinking, even if Sheng Chenfeng had balls to stir up trouble at the family meeting, he would not be able to do any damage.
