PLAYBOY CEO HAS A BABY

CHAPTER 150

"Good my knight in shining armor," she teased him.

"Hmm. Good night my bold princess," he played along and they ended the call.

He sighed again. Geez, he has been sighing alot lately. To correct that, he has been sighing since their second meeting at the restaurant. Sigh. What a night.

Just then, Ye Chaoxiang received a video call from Ye Lee Ai. His head immediately whipped towards his phone to check the time. His eyes widen at the realization bod the time.

Yikes! It is already way past Ye Lee Ai's bed time. And the worst part is that she called by herself. That means she was already tired of waiting for his call so she decided to call. Ye Chaoxiang prepared himself for some scolding. He quickly answered the call.

"Daadddy!!!" Ye Lee Ai shouted. Ye Chaoxiang quickly reduced the volume on the laptop.

"Don't you dare reduce the volume, you hear me. You deserve to have your eardrums exploded," she said. The little chipmunk's face was as red a fresh pepper

"I am so so-"

"Hold it right there. Keep your sorry to yourself, you promise breaker. Do you how long I have been waiting for daddy to call? I have been waiting almost two hours after dinner. I am supposed to be sleeping by now," she glared daggers at him with a pout.

"I know and I am very sorry. Something cropped up and..."

"Nothing cropped up, okay? I know nothing cropped up because work at the host is in City S is not as hetic and time consuming as in City X. So you were not busy with work," then she paused as realization dawned on her.

"Is the things that cropped up more important than me? I thought.... I thought you said you live Little Ai? Do you also want to leave Little Ai like mummy and daddy did?" This time her shining ash coloured eyes became dull and blurry due to the tears that had gathered.

Ye Chaoxiang was surprised at the turn of invent. He cursed himself for forgetting such important stuff. This was what he had never wanted to happen.

He knows that Ye Lee Ai is an insecure kid. He had tried to make her believe that he would never leave her like her parents. At that time, Ye Lee Ai had been constantly having dreams of her parents' accident and him and everyone else leaving her.

Things got more complicated when he was told that he would be transferred to City S Hospital and is expected to stay there for a long period of time. Even though Ye Lee Ai is now older by three years, he still found it hard to coax her to agree to let him leave.

The little girl thought that he wanted to use that as a means to leave her because he did not love her anymore. It was not untill he talked her into understanding that it was just a job and he would definitely come back. He even promised to video call her everyday when he was not busy and just normal calls when was extremely tired from work.

But now he might have broken the promise. To coax through devices might be hard. But he had to try right?

"Daddy does not love Little Ai anymore, right? If daddy does not love Little Ai, then everyone does not love Little Ai," he heard her say.

"Ye Lee Ai," he called out softly.

"Hmm," she answered.

"Do you really think that daddy does not live you anymore?" He asked. Without waiting for her reply he continued to speak.

"If you think I do not love you then why did I even think to adopt you in the first place? Why did I allow you to come and visit me here? I would have just left the country and you would not even know. Why would I bother to call you up till yesterday, hmm?" He asked.

Ye Lee Ai just remained silent with her head down. She was fiddling with the ear of her Teddy Rennie like always. From her silence, it looks as if she has over thought the situation.

'When would you learn to grow up?' She scolded herself.

"So do you still think that daddy does not love you anymore?" He asked. Ye Lee Ai shook her head.

"I am sorry. Little Ai promise to never doubt daddy's for me again," she said in a small guilty voice.

"Pinky promise," he smiled and showed his pinky finger.

"Hmm. Pinky promise," she showed her own little pinky finger.

"So go to bed now," he said.

"But-"

"Do not worry. I will not end the call," he assured her. Ye Lee Ai nodded and rushed to her bed. She placed her tablet and the teddy bear on the bed before she climbed up. After perfectly tucking herself in, she positioned the tablet beside her and turned to face it.

"Daddy?"

"Hmm."

"What made you almost forget about our call?" She asked cutely.

"Ahem ahem. Well, I..."

"No lying remember," she quickly said seeing as he was delaying his words. Ye Chaoxiang chuckled.

"Alright. No lying. I saved someone today," he said.

"Really? Who was it? How did you save the person? What did you save the person from?" She asked so many questions.

"Hey hey hey. Relax. Ask your questions slowly."

"Okay. Is the person a girl or a boy?"

"A girl. " He answered.

"Is she pretty? How old is she?" Ye Lee Ai asked in excitement.

"She is very pretty. She should be in the same age group as mine. Oh yes. She as big as your aunty Ren from the hospital," he said.

"Really? Wow. Daddy is a hero," she gave him a thumbs up. "What happened to the pretty aunty then?"

"Hmm. Some bad and ugly boys were troubling her so I helped her out. I beat senses into their heads. Although she hurt her ankle and her face. But as a doctor I treated her and took her home. Oh and then she offered me a cup of coffee and noddles. We became friends, chatted, exchanged numbers and planned for our first friendly date," he narrated.

"Daddy?" Ye Lee Ai's voice called.

"Yes honey."

"Why do you have that creepy smile on your face?"
