Chapter 731: Love Above All Chapter 90

Early the next morning, Gu Xiaoxi got up on time, ready to exercise.

Although the morning schedule was to visit AIDS patients at the hospital.

But she had the habit of exercising in the morning, so she woke up an hour early.

Just as she started jogging out the door, she saw Bai Yaxuan coming out shortly after.

In the small garden outside the Presidential Mansion, both of them paused for a moment, then Gu Xiaoxi smiled and waved at him, "Let’s go, jog together."

More than a year of separation, it was also the first time for them to coexist peacefully.

"Then let’s see who is stronger," Bai Yaxuan stretched and his tall figure looked particularly captivating.

"Let’s give it a try!" Gu Xiaoxi said and took off running first, with Bai Yaxuan following at a leisurely pace.

It wasn’t just studying and playing around for Gu Xiaoxi this past year; she had also built up her physical endurance.

Bai Yaxuan felt that Gu Xiaoxi had really changed a lot over one year.

Her physical fitness was nearly catching up to his.

"Do you jog every day?" Bai Yaxuan asked.

"Yeah! Don’t you?" Gu Xiaoxi countered, figuring he must also have the habit since they met at the door.

Bai Yaxuan smiled, lifting the corners of his mouth, "Running half an hour every morning and doing aerobic exercises can relieve stress."

"Relieve stress?" Gu Xiaoxi looked back at Bai Yaxuan, the morning light illuminating his fair skin, making him appear even more striking, "Does work give you a lot of pressure?"

In her eyes, he seemed to sit rather comfortably in the presidential role.

"Of course, there’s so much to do every day. If your mind isn’t up to it, big problems can happen. So naturally, there’s a lot of pressure."

"Then why do you still want to be president?"

After hearing Gu Xiaoxi’s words, Bai Yaxuan smiled freely, "Silly girl, do you think I should run away because there’s pressure? I love this job!"

More than loving the job, it seemed that he enjoyed the taste of controlling power.

If he wasn’t capable of controlling the big picture, he might not even have the qualification to marry her.

Gu Xiaoxi was speechless, "Then keep it up, you’re sure to be a good leader."

She took deep breaths of the fresh morning air, feeling the heat surge through her veins after the exercise.

"I just need to be a good husband for you!"

Gu Xiaoxi glared at him, "Stop always focusing on me. Don’t you have other family members?"

She had investigated his background, but the results were a blank slate.

Even Bai Yu couldn’t clarify his origins.

"I suppose," Bai Yaxuan said heavily as the slanting sun made his profile appear pale in the gentle morning light, "It is said that my mother died in childbirth with me, my father was a gambler, killed on the street, and I ended up in the orphanage. Later, I was adopted by the Bai Family’s parents."

"That..." Gu Xiaoxi was at a loss for words for a moment, as Bai Yaxuan spoke with an indifferent tone, as if recounting somebody else’s story.

"All that information was destroyed by my adoptive parents, aside from myself and my deceased adoptive mother and father, nobody knows."

Looking at his tall and desolate silhouette, Gu Xiaoxi actually felt that this Bai Yaxuan was very lonely.

A man, a job, a heavy burden, all those who loved him had left his side, but he had never thought of giving up on life, even transforming grief and anger into the power to become the most influential person.

...

On the morning path, only the sound of footsteps and breathing could be heard, and both were silent.

Gu Xiaoxi thought Bai Yaxuan was very good...

If she didn’t have an insurmountable barrier in her heart and a Quan Shaoqing she couldn’t let go of, perhaps she would be willing to reach out her hand and accompany him for life, to keep him from being alone.

At least, she couldn’t do that now.
