Xia Dabai looked up to them with a big smile on his face . “That was pretty cool, Little Bai . You are a hero!”

Bai Yeqing frowned slightly as he saw Xia Xingchen was trying to avoid his eyes . He didn’t say anything, walking away with Xia Dabai . “Let’s go . ”

There was an unexplainable warm feeling in her mind while she was watching them .

Xia Dabai was a  cute boy . He could catch many people’s attention . When he walked with Bai Yeqing,  they could draw everyone’s attention .

She somehow felt satisfied with it . Delightfully, she picked up a basket and followed them .

Apparently Bai Yeqing had never been in a supermarket before .   The noise and stink there made him sick .

Leng Fei and other bodyguards were like facing a war, following them carefully . Those black suits stand out in the crowd . Anybody could tell that they were not here for shopping .

“How long is this going to take?” Bai Yeqing couldn’t help asking when she stopped  to pick up laundry detergent .

“We have just arrived . I haven’t got my snacks yet . ” Xia Dabai answered . He couldn’t wait for those snacks so he had to keep reminding her in case she forgot .

Xia Xingchen found him like a fish out of water . She said, “It will be long before we finish shopping . We’ve only just begun . If you don’t feel good, you’d better go now . ”

His face clouded over when he heard this . It’s true that men didn’t like going shopping . How many men here were happy shopping with their wives? Though he didn’t like shopping here, he doesn’t really want to go .

He chose a bottle of laundry detergent and threw it into the basket while Xia Xingchen was picking laundry detergent carefully .

“We’ll take it . Don’t hesitate . ”

“No, we can’t . ” She put the bottle back and chose another brand .

“You women are annoying . ” He couldn’t understand at all . There’s no difference between the two kinds . Is it worth wasting too much time here?

“You don’t understand . ” Xia Xingchen explained to him . “This brand is gentle and suitable for children’s clothes . I’m afraid other brands could hurt Dabai’s skin . ”

She looked quite gentle when talking about kids . She even let Dabai sniff the detergent and asked him whether he liked this fragrance .

Bai Yeqing could see the soft smile on her face . The lights in the supermarket brightened this picture and she looked even more gentle . He felt his heartbeat was getting faster as he just crushes on her .

He looked away at the moment . She put the bottle back into the basket and stood up . He grabbed the basket naturally .

Xia Xingchen didn’t refuse .

She couldn’t imagine him walking in a supermarket with a basket in hand . At this moment he was not like the man he used to be . He was neither having big talks on TV nor being indifferent in the presidential residence . He was more like a normal person .

“What are you looking at?” Bai Yeqing asked her .

Xia Xingchen didn’t know what to say . How could he detect she was looking at him? He was just staring at those shelves!

“I’m looking at you . The president is shopping with us . ”

“This is called observing the living conditions of my people . ” He said .

“OK, sure . As you say so . ” She nodded her head .

They went for slippers after that . Xia Dabai sat in a chair and Xia Xingchen helped him to try them on .

“Walk around to see whether it’s suitable . ” Xia Xingchen told her son .

“These are good . ” He was pretty happy walking around . He walked to Bai Yeqing and looked up at him . “Little Bai, do I look good in these slippers?”

Now Bai Yeqing was observing the clothes area in the clothes area . There was a young couple picking clothes over there . The wife was choosing a simple T-shirt for her husband as a gift for him .

He didn’t answer Dabai . Xia Xingchen was curious about what’s going on . Suddenly he turned around and asked her, “Where is my gift?”

“What gift?” She was confused .

“Birthday gift!” He was still upset talking about his birthday .

Xia Xingchen didn’t know he’s still thinking about it .

“I don’t have a gift for you . ”

She answered directly . Bai Yeqing glanced at her coldly and walked away .

“I told you . He’s gonna be angry . ”Xia Dabai said .

“You’ve got so many presents . I don’t think you need my gift anymore . ”she followed  him . “And the stuff you got are so expensive . I can’t afford them . ”

“Oh, really? Didn’t the Foreign Ministry pay you?” Who asked her to buy some expensive stuff?

“……”Xia Xingchen was speechless . “I was going to buy a gift for you . And I did find a shirt . ”

“So where is it?”he asked .

“…… . ”She became silent .

“So where is it?” He asked her again .

“I’ll buy you another one tomorrow . ” Xia Xingchen was pretty sure if she told him she gave it to Xu Yan, he would be furious .

“I only want that one!” Bai Yeqing emphasized . He could find her becoming nervous . He wouldn‘t let it go .

“Dabao, just go back and give it to him . Little Bai will like it!” Xia Dabai doesn’t have an inkling that his words would implicate his mom at all .

Her head ached . How could she tell him the truth? But his eyes forced her to say it .

She thought it might be okay when she told him the truth . Xu Yan saved her life . He deserved more than a shirt .

“I gave it to Xu Yan . ” She said .

“……”Bai Yeqing felt like his world shook a little bit . Xia Xingchen was frightened by him . Da Bai didn’t catch it . “Ah was that day also his birthday? Dabao, you gave it to him for his birthday . What about Little Bai’s birthday?”

Xia Xinghen was about to give him a “happy birthday” as a gift . But Bai Yeqing walked away without a word . He looked much colder than before .
