Xie Xinghe and Li Xingchen exchanged a glance and then nodded.
The interests of the country came before those of the individual.
It was a mission that they had known as members of the Xie and Li families since childhood.
After the incident with the former president, both Xie Xuning and Li Xing were thinking about it. It was better to have one of their own as President than to entrust the future of the Empire to a man with an ulterior motive.
“Okay, we’ll give it some thought. Li Xing will serve as the president for the time being.”
After dinner, Li Qingcang took Ye Tianxin’s hand and walked into the Lang Garden.
It was a beautiful night. The moonlight seemed to cast a mysterious veil on the garden like water.
Li Qingcang and Ye Tianxin were a couple. Whether Li Qingcang decided to be president or not, he needed to discuss the matter with Ye Tianxin.
“Tianxin, what do you think about Dad making me President?”
Ye Tianxin walked slowly, and said softly, “Brother Li, I think Dad’s idea is right. What happened to the former president is a cautionary tale. People always are selfish. Not everyone is as patriotic and dedicated to the prosperity of this country as you. I want the country to improve, and we need a strong leader for that. If you become the president, I think the future of our Empire would be better.”
Li Qingcang couldn’t help but rub the top of Ye Tianxin’s head.
Ye Tianxin raised her face and protested, “Brother Li, you can rub it now, but you mustn’t rub it when the babies are born. Do you understand?”
Li Qingcang asked, “Why not?”
Ye Tianxin said, “Do I still need my dignity when I’m a mother?”
“Even if you are not dignified, you are still my wife and the mother of my children. What’s more, a mother never looks ugly to her kids.”
The more Li Qingcang said, the more outrageous it became. Ye Tianxin gave Li Qingcang a hard twist on the arm and said, “Do you think I’m ugly?”
“No, I don’t. My little Tianxin is the prettiest.” Then Li Qingcang turned the conversation to the previous topic and said, “Tianxin, do you want me to be President?”
“Of course!”
Ye Tianxin believed that Li Qingcang would be the best president.
“You will give up your dream if I become President.”
Li Qingcang loved Ye Tianxin so much. How could he be willing to let Ye Tianxin give up her dream of becoming a diplomat? If Li Qingcang became President, Ye Tianxin would be the First Lady instead.
“Yeah, I didn’t think of that.”
Ye Tianxin was stunned. Was she going to be the First Lady?
If brother Li was President, she could only be the First Lady. Being the First Lady meant that she would lose the opportunity to fulfill her dream.
“In that case, do you still want me to be President?”
Li Qingcang also took into consideration the issue, so he did not agree to be President.
Ye Tianxin was a little tired after walking for a while. She sat on the chair and gently stroked her abdomen.
What was she going to do?
She wanted to persist in fulfilling her dream, but she wanted Li Qingcang to become President. He was the best possible candidate for the sake of the Empire.
“Brother Li, you’ll be President.”
Li Qingcang hugged Ye Tianxin and said softly, “Tianxin, I don’t want you to give up your dream for me.”
“Brother Li, I think the First Lady’s job is also very challenging. I want to try it.”
