Chapter 54: Taking the Risk With Her
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After a while, everyone left.

In the initially crowded passageway, both of them were the only ones left. From the unattainable distance earlier on, he was now beside and was very near to her…

“Aren’t you going in?” He looked at her who was still in a daze.

Xia Xingchen came back to her senses and shook her head. “I will go in alone, wait outside. It’s dangerous…”

Bai Yeqing glanced at her. He then reached out his long arms and held her hand in the most natural way.

The man’s palm overbearingly clasped her slender hand. That hotness gushed in and pierced past her skin and it soon entered her heart.

Her heart skipped a beat.

This kind of feeling made her heartbeat fast but at the same time uneasy.

Her whole body felt as though it was floating on cloud nine. Then again, it also felt as though she was on a thin layer of ice where if she was not careful, she may slip and smash into smithereens.

“Don’t be like this…” She instinctively pulled her hand out of his palm. She raised her head and cautiously looked at the camera. “There are cameras everywhere in this hospital…”

“Don’t be long-winded!” Without a second thought, Bai Yeqing opened the hospital ward’s door and entered while holding her hand.

Xia Xingchen looked at his broad back view and had all kinds of emotions in her heart.

This man had a noble identity and had protection like a steel armor every time he went out. This showed how important his health was to the whole team.

But…

He knew how dangerous this ward was yet he was still willing to take the risk with her.

“We have already entered. Are you still going to space out?” Bai Yeqing tugged Xia Xingchen’s hand. “Go on, but you only have ten minutes.”

Xia Xingchen came back to her senses and looked at him with a gaze filled with gratitude.

After a long time, she turned her head and looked at Xia Guopeng who was lying on the bed.

Xia Guopeng saw his daughter and could not believe it. He immediately sat upon his bed. “Xingchen!”

…

At this moment.

In the large monitoring room, four people were arranged as guests.

“Ah… how could this be?” Li Lingyi stared at the screen with a look of disbelief. “Why is Mr. President holding Xia Xingchen’s hand?”

With her words, the other three people also fixed their eyes at the scene in front of them.

Old Madam seemed to enter in deep thought while Xu Yan’s gaze was so dark that there was not even a streak of light.

After a long time, his gaze paused at the screen where the man and woman interlinked their hands. Although he could not hear what they were saying, he felt that this scene was very eye-piercing.

It was so piercing that his chest was in pain.

Could it be…

It was really what the Old Madam had guessed. Xingchen and the President…

But how could this be? They were clearly two people belonging to two different worlds who had no interaction with each other!

Xia Xingkong stared at that scene and the vengeance in her eyes was as sharp as a sword. She would never believe that their President would hold hands with such an ordinary Xia Xingchen who had a child! There must be a special reason for it! There must be!

She muttered in her heart and finally suppressed her jealousy through comforting herself, but as she looked sideways, she saw Xu Yan’s hurt gaze. At that moment, the fury in her heart could not help but burn again!

…

“Dad!” Once she saw her father becoming as skinny as a stick, Xia Xingchen felt terrible. She walked to the side of the bed and her eyes turned red.

“How did you enter here?” Xia Guopeng’s sickly hands emotionally grabbed hers.

He was too ill that even his voice quivered.

“He brought me in.” Xia Xingchen sat down on the side of the bed and looked at him with her eyes turning red.

Bai Yeqing saw her reddened eyes and slowly walked over before standing at the front of the bed.

“Mr… President?” Xia Guopeng stared at the man in disbelief. He thought he was too ill that he could not see clearly.

He rubbed his eyes, but the other party’s figure was still there. Moreover, he was really Mr. President!

Bai Yeqing nodded his head slightly and comforted him in a deep voice. “Mr. Xia, don’t worry. The Science Centre had a big breakthrough and are doing their best to find the cure.”

His words were very simple yet it had the strength to comfort another’s heart.

Xia Xingchen heard it and felt an indescribable comfort. Her two hands gripped Xia Guopeng’s hands. “Dad, you heard that, too. Even if you are sick, you can’t give up and have to keep your spirits up. Outside, grandma and Xingkong are still waiting for you to come out.”

Xia Guopeng enveloped his daughter into a hug. His hand accidentally touched her mask and it fell inside the dustbin on the side yet Xia Xingchen did not notice at all.

Bai Yeqing furrowed his brows and looked from the side, but he kept quiet.

After the father and daughter finished talking, she stood up from the bed and saw how Bai Yeqing was fiercely glaring at her.

Her heart was already heavy, to begin with, and with his sharp and cold gaze, she felt even more aggrieved that her nose turned sour. The tears she tried to suppress almost flowed down again.

What did she do to make him angry again?

“What did I tell you just now?” Bai Yeqing gritted his teeth. As he asked, he took off his mask.

“I only have ten minutes.” Xia Xingchen looked at her watch. “But it had only been ten seconds.”

“You won’t have another chance to enter here!” With that said, he put the mask on her one by one. His expression turned sour.

Xia Xingchen froze.

Only then, did she understand the reason he was being fierce at her.

How could she still have the grievance she felt just now? All kinds of emotions gushed up in her heart and she blinked her red eyes again.

She almost instinctively took off the mask.

“Try and take it off if you dare!” he scolded. He glared at the hand which she used in her attempt of taking off the mask.

She was stubborn and stared back at him. “This belongs to you! Wear it!”

Bai Yeqing grabbed her hand. His movements were not gentle at all, he said, “Don’t move around! If you dare to catch the virus, I will throw you out of the house. At that moment, don’t even dream of seeing your son!”

His voice was very low and only both of them could hear.

His tone was fierce and threatening yet…

In her ears, she felt that she could not hate it at all.

Moreover… her heart was filled with an indescribable warmth and insuppressible love…

“Then… what if you catch the virus?” Xia Xingchen’s heart constricted.

“I’m not as weak as you!”

At the side, Xia Guopeng was so ill that his sight was blurry. But he could still vaguely feel that both of them clearly had some sort of love for each other.

Could it be…

His daughter and the President were actually… dating?!

This… can’t be!

Xia Guopeng could not believe it as well but the scene in front of him made it difficult for him not to suspect. Especially when Mr. President’s gaze on his Xingchen clearly had an unusual streak of light…

…

After she saw her father, Xia Xingchen was relieved.
