Xia Xingchen knew why the news altered their words and said that he was not hurt. It was because the political situation was in a mess, domestically and abroad.

She nodded her head. “Please rest assured. I will take good care of him.”

Leng Fei nodded his head and allowed her into the house. Although the exterior of the house may not look large, everything was readily available in the house.

In and out of the house, there were only a few of his trusted aides and the atmosphere was cold and solemn.

Xia Xingchen’s heart was on tenterhooks and she asked, “Where is he?”

“Follow me.” Leng Fei guided her to the only bedroom in the house. He raised his hand and knocked on the door. Only after he heard the noise in the room, did he turn around and warned her. “It may look a little bloody, please be mentally prepared.”

Xia Xingchen took a deep breath and nodded his head. Leng Fei then opened the door and entered.

Although she was mentally prepared, when she saw the scene in the room, Xia Xingchen was so shocked that she stepped back.

Blood filled the whole bed and her legs went wobbly while her head turned dizzy

Blood.

On the bed, ground, and his body—it was covered with red blood and was shocking to the eye.

He lay there with a dying breath. His chest was hurt from the explosion and was badly mangled. On his arm, they could see even his bones.

Xia Xingchen stood there and had some difficulty breathing.

“How… did he get hurt so badly?”

Logically speaking, with so many bodyguards, he should not end up like this.

“To save a young child,” Leng Fei briefly explained.

Xia Xingchen understood.

It was lonely being on the top where power and danger exist together. He was the President and other than risking his life; he had no other way of retreat.

It was not without reason that this man became the President that everyone loved.

She looked at him and a few different emotions arose in her heart.

It was respect and admiration.

She was very glad that Xia Dabai’s dad was such a responsible man.

After a long time, Fu Yichen the doctor, had already helped him to treat his wound and walked out of the bedroom. Xia Xingchen immediately followed up. “Doctor Fu, how is his condition?”

“He is unconscious for now. After getting hurt so badly, he will definitely have a fever in the night. At that time, you must remember to wipe his body with liquid alcohol.”

“Okay, I will definitely do that. Is there anything else I need to take note of?”

“The wound on his body must not be dampened with water. This is my handphone number. Call me immediately if, by tomorrow morning, his fever does not subside.” Fu Yichen took the pen and wrote his number.

Xia Xingchen furrowed his brows slightly and worriedly glanced towards the bedroom. “Are you not staying here, Doctor Fu?”

She feared that if something ever happens, she may not be able to take care of him.

“There are many casualties in the White Plaza, I have to be there and preside over the situation. Moreover, everyone knows my relationship with the President. If I am gone for a long time, others will definitely get suspicious.”

She was worried about him, but it seemed there was no other way.

After Fu Yichen left, Leng Fei brought a few others to leave as well.

Bai Yeqing was unconscious, and Leng Fei had to appear in front of the media to keep the army on an even keel. Moreover, he had to find out the mastermind behind this attack soon if not, he would be in constant danger.

Soon, it was only her and Bai Yeqing that were left in the room. It was good that there were bodyguards cautiously patrolling outside.

Xia Xingchen took a deep breath and collected herself before pushing the door open.

In the room, Leng Fei and the others had already settled the blood-stained mat and bedsheets. Also, Bai Yeqing was already bandaged up, making the whole scene not as shocking as before.

It was just that…

She still felt a tightness in her chest and it felt terrible.

…..

In the evening.

As expected, he got a fever. His whole face was bright red from the fever and his brows knitted together. It was clear that he felt terrible.

Xia Xingchen did not dare to waste time and quickly submerged a towel on water. She squeezed dry the towel before placing it on his forehead, but as soon as her hand touched his forehead, his breathing became heavy and he raised his hand to hold her hand.

He seemed to be using all of his strength because she could feel his hot palm trembling.

It was just that…

Now, he was very weak that she could easily get away from his grip with no struggle.

But, she did not dare to do it. She was scared that she would accidentally worsen the wound on his body.

“Relax, it’s me. You’re having a fever so I have to help you,” Xia Xingchen softly said.

Bai Yeqing was in a daze and could only hear a tender and sweet voice ringing beside his ear. To him, it sounded as though it was the gentle spring rain comforting him.

His eyelashes fluttered vigorously and he could only open his eyes for a short while. A blur patch covered his vision before it slowly transitioned into her worried small face appeared.

“It’s you?”

His voice was very hoarse as his lips were so dry and in pain. When he could already clearly see her, he heaved a sigh of relief.

Xia Xingchen nodded her head. “Leng Fei let me take care of you. Relax, I will try my best to not hurt you.”

His eyelashes fluttered, which showed that he understood. Only then did he gradually lower his vigilance and his palm slowly moved away from her wrist.

Xia Xingchen put the towel on his forehead and took out the alcohol.

She stared at him and in the next instant, she was met with an obstacle. Oh no! She had to wipe his body?

“What’s wrong?” Bai Yeqing weakly asked without opening his eyes upon sensing that she had halted her movement.

“…Doctor Fu told me to use alcohol to wipe your body in the event that you have a fever…” Xia Xingchen’s voice gradually became softer as she explained.

Bai Yeqing then peeled his eyelids open and looked at her. He could clearly see her embarrassment and distress.

“Hand over the alcohol. I will do it myself…” With his strong perseverance, he tried to not let himself faint again. He used his uninjured hand and reached for the alcohol, and in every place that he touched became damp.

Xia Xingchen looked at him and then stopped his movement. In her shock, she said, “Don’t move around! If you strain yourself, your wound will hurt.”

Bai Yeqing moved his pale lips. “This little bit of pain is nothing.”

He could not even count all the wounds on him. He had grown up in the military since he was young and had endured all of the cruel training.

Compared to the gunshots, whips, and knife cuts, what were these wounds to him?

Although he had mentioned it ever so casually, Xia Xingchen felt an indescribable sadness and pity towards him.

“I’ll help you. You just have to obediently lie down on the bed and not move.” She pulled the chair and sat beside the bed.

Bai Yeqing furrowed his brows and stared at her. She used the cotton and dampened it with alcohol before brushing it against his ear.

Afterward…

His neck, collarbone… unhurt part of his chest…

Moving down…

Her fingers lowered to the man’s trousers and she could feel his deep and complicated gaze on her. Her face turned even redder.

She bit down on her lips, and with a stuffy voice, she said, “Close your eyes!”

If he continued to stare at her, she would probably die of embarrassment?

Although both of them had done it before, that was five years ago. Moreover, she had treated that as a dream and there were only blurry images whenever she thought about it so…

She would really be embarrassed!
