“The President's Surrogacy”.

As garments fall one by one, smooth and snow-white skin is revealed, becoming even more enticing under the dim light. She picks up a piece of clothing and presses it tightly against the roundness of her chest. Slowly approaching the bedside, her steps are hesitant for she has no idea what to do next.

Step by step, she gets closer and closer to him who is slumbering on the bed. Her heart is about to explode. When her feet touch the bed, she stops. Tension spreads across her face. Her eyes fall on Luo Yiwei who is asleep on the bed. From his sturdy shoulders to that face that no woman can resist, she has to admit that he is perfect, a bit wicked, a bit domineering, and a bit haughty. Truly, he is the most charming devil crafted with utmost care by the gods.

The tip of her finger gently touches his brow, and an electric shock instantly spreads throughout her body.

A touch of coolness makes Luo Yiwei frown and quickly turn over, immediately scaring her into quickly withdrawing her hand and hiding on the ground like a thief encountering a policeman. Her heart is pounding so hard that she wonders if he has awakened.

After a while, the bed is quiet again. Only then does she carefully peek out... What a fool! Scaring herself. As sister said, he won't wake up so soon from that drug.

So, in a disheveled state, she crawls out from under the bed. Reaching out, she turns off the bedside lamp. Instantly, the whole room is plunged into darkness...

With a perturbed heart, she carefully climbs onto the bed. With a resolute heart and closed eyes, she presses her lips onto his. Learning from the methods of women seducing men in American movies, she reaches out her hand and gently caresses his ear, then slowly trails down from the ear...

The sudden numbing sensation makes Luo Yiwei groan. Frightened, Xia Zixin immediately stops. Is he about to wake up? Just as she is about to flee again, her waist is grabbed by a powerful hand. "Qing, still want to run?" With a flip, he presses his whole body on Xia Zixin. His slender fingertips gently touch every soft part. Excitedly, he realizes that the person beneath him is completely naked. This instantly ignites his passion.

"Um..." Zixin cannot escape. It seems that the double dose of the drug has taken effect.

Before she has time to think, her soft lips are blocked again. Once again, he possessively and tenderly takes the person beneath him...

Luo Yiwei gives a satisfied smile. This feeling is very strange, as if it has been a long time since he last felt it...

In the pitch-black room, a petite figure is quickly putting on clothes. It's time for her to leave. Just as she is about to reach the door, her steps suddenly hesitate. She quickly retreats and leans against the bed. Once again, she uses her hand to caress his sleeping face. She knows that tonight she has been lost. This is the last time. Suddenly, there is a feeling of reluctance.

After covering him with a quilt, she stands up, adjusts the bag on her shoulder, and leaves the room without looking back.

Standing in front of the elevator, she takes a deep breath and tells herself not to let her mind wander. Just at this moment, the elevator door opens and a man in hotel work clothes steps out. Looking at Xia Zixin's disheveled appearance, he immediately becomes suspicious. "Miss, are you staying on this floor?" However, this young lady looks familiar, as if he has seen her somewhere before.

"No, I just took a wrong turn." As sister said, even if she encounters staff, she can't say too much. It seems better to leave quickly.

"Oh. I know who you are." The man exclaims. But this scares Xia Zixin even more. She is about to step into the elevator when the man also steps in. Smiling, he says, "You are the model from tonight. At that moment on the stage, you were truly stunning. May I ask what's your name, Miss?" He is from the security department. For such a grand press conference today, he must be on duty to monitor security.

"Hehe, my name is not important. People who look beautiful on stage may not be real..." As she speaks, she uses her hand to uncover the ugliness on her left cheek. This is her only way to deal with people who want to strike up a conversation. With the birthmark covered, her face indeed looks very beautiful. But when people see that blood-red birthmark, they often overlook everything else and only remember the ugliness.

The man is immediately stunned and shows an awkward smile.

At this time, the elevator stops midway. He immediately steps out.

Xia Zixin just gives a faint smile. She has seen such situations many times and is already numb.

Quickly walking out of the hotel, she hails a taxi and rushes towards the hospital...

The whole hospital is silent. Xia Zixin quickens her steps and walks up to the duty nurse's station. Anxiously, she asks, "Tell me which room is Xia Rongsheng in?"

"Mr. Xia has been transferred to the intensive care unit. It's late now. General visitors are prohibited. What's your relationship with the patient?" The nurse says as she writes on the duty schedule. These are normal inquiries for night visitors.

"I am his daughter." Xia Zixin says quickly.

"Take the elevator to the fourth floor. Turn left at the end of the corridor and then turn right. Intensive care room 411. It's late at night. Please be quiet, Miss." When she looks up to see who is coming, the person in front of the nurse's station has already run away quickly.

As soon as Xia Zixin hears which room it is, she immediately runs to the elevator, goes up to the fourth floor, passes through the gloomy corridor. The whole air is filled with the smell of disinfectant and medicine, making her feel a bit uncomfortable. After reaching the end and turning right, she sees her elder sister and mother sitting on chairs at the door, nervously looking through the glass window.

Machines are placed around the sickbed, making ticking sounds. Xia Rongsheng lies weakly on the bed with an oxygen mask on his face, still seemingly in a coma.

She immediately steps forward and softly calls out, "Mommy..."

Tang Hui turns around and sees her daughter Xia Zixin. Her expression changes and she immediately stands up and takes a few steps to reach Xia Zixin.

With a loud slap, the tranquility of the corridor is instantly broken.

"You unfilial daughter!" Tang Hui is already furious. She is already very nervous seeing her husband suddenly faint. And she still has to worry about this unfilial daughter. She has been calling all night, but it's always turned off and she didn't come home. Thinking of this makes her extremely angry.

"Mommy..." Xia Zixin touches her stinging cheek. The pain of this slap suddenly pierces through her skin and spreads to her heart.

This slap also startles Xia Yaqing. Her heart trembles. Quickly supporting her mother, she persuades, "Mommy, don't be angry. Sister must have had very urgent matters to be late."

"What matter could be more important than your father's life?" Tang Hui becomes angry when she thinks of this.

As soon as this is mentioned, Yaqing can't help but feel a bit nervous. Afraid that Mommy will expose her lie if she continues talking, she quickly says, "Mommy, Daddy is fine now. Don't blame sister."

"Zixin, you disappoint me so much. Can't you learn more from your elder sister?" Tang Hui supports her forehead and sits back on the chair. Touching Yaqing's hand, she says helplessly.

"Mommy. I know I was wrong." Xia Zixin squats beside Tang Hui. There are many things she can't say. Looking at her elder sister, she leans against Tang Hui's thigh and admits her mistake.
