CHAPTER 192
Bai Renxiang came back home from work very late today. There were so many things to attend to. The company has about five projects with four different companies and the last, a new one she brought up herself when she resumed as CEO.
Regardless of all the work, they had done today and the past few days, the real deal has not even begun. So by the time she left the company and came back home, her mother and son were both asleep. Not even bothering to take a shower, she changed into comfortable sleepwear and climbed into the bed. Immediately her head touched the soft cold pillow, her flight to her dreamland finally took off. Every fibre in her body succumbed to slumber.
Saturday morning. The birds have started singing a new song and the sun was up. Bai Xiaojin's blue eyes had a tinge of sleepiness in them but still, yet, his mind was proving to be awake. He did not get to see his mother before he went to bed last night.
Turning to the other side of the bed, his keys met with a sleeping beauty which is his mum. He used his small hands to touch her cheek. Seeing as she was still sleeping, he decided not to wake her up. He pecked her cheek as she used to when he slept and then snuggle into her embrace more.
Though he does not voice it out, he missed her and wished to spend more time with her.
Bai Renxiang opened her eyes when she felt a little thing cuddle closer to her. She stifled a yawn and after smile.
"I love you," she whispered as she thought he was sleeping.
"I love you too mummy," Bai Xiaojin replied as he raised his head from her bosom to look at her.
"So you are awake?" She asked.
"Uh huh. You sleep like a newborn baby. I touched and pecked your cheek but you did not wake up," he said with an amuses smile.
"Well, I was very tired from work. Besides, I also want to be a baby sometimes. So you have to pamper and care for me," Bai Renxiang said with a cute pout.
"Hehehe," he giggled. "Alright I will pamper you and I will also tell everyone to do so, okay?"
"Okay. Now let mummy rest for another five minutes before going put to prepare breakfast," she said as she placed her jaw lightly on his head while still hugging him.
After ten minutes Bai Renxiang finally agreed to wake up and both of them brushed their teeth and sang different kids' songs.
"Good morning mum."
"Good morning grandma."
Jiang Meilin smiled as the both of them kissed her cheek from either side. She could guess that they woke up with bright and high spirits this morning. It made her mood elevate into more happiness and rest of mind.
"Good morning my sweethearts. How was your night?"
"It was great," said Bai Xiaojin.
"Mine felt like a lifesaver. I guess my brain cells have rejuvenated their energy," Bai Renxiang replied making them chuckle.
"You have worked so hard recently. It is good you only look through some papers on weekends. Or else, you would have ended in the hospital," Jiang Meilin commented.
"Yeah. I guess. What can I help you with?" Bai Renxiang said as she took the spare apron and wrapped it around her.
After preparing breakfast, they called Shin and Shane over and they ate together. They all discussed the five people old man Jiang sent over to help Jiang Meilin in the store. Bai Renxiang was very satisfied and called to thank her grandfather. After the call, Shin and Shane went to the store to open and resume work for the day.
"Xiaojin! Go and get ready. We are going out today," Bai Renxiang said. Bai Xiaojin who was playing with his toy car widened his eyes in surprise. He ran to where she was sitting in the living room and climbed onto her lap.
"What did you say? Going out? Really? Are you pranking me?" He asked suspiciously but there was still an excited smile on his face that he could not and did not bother to hide. Bai Renxiang laughed.
"Of course, we are going out. I am totally serious and not pranking you. Now go and get ready before I change my mind," Bai Renxiang said.
"Gasp. You can't do that," he glared at her.
"Oh yeah? Should we give it a try? Hmm I think there is this project that I-"
"You are not a woman of your words if you change your mind," he said as he ran into their room to get ready, leaving both Bai Renxiang and Jiang Meilin to burst out in laughter at his behaviour.
"He must be very excited," Jiang Meilin said as she took a quick glance at the door that lead to the passage connecting their rooms.
"There is no doubt that he is. I have been in the company majority of the weekdays. I should make it up to him by taking him to visit places he loves and to have fun," Bai Renxiang said.
"He is after all still a child. I do not want to deprive him of enjoying what he should be enjoying in his childhood days," she added.
"Sigh. I am so proud of the mother that my daughter has become. Who would have thought that that little bun running around in the house would have her child to care for?" Jiang Meilin said as she reminisced about old times.
"I like the fact that you are proud of me but I also don't like that you are thinking of our life in that city. I don't want you thinking too much into that stuff next time okay?"
"Okay. I hear you."
"MUMMY!!!!" Bai Xiaojin shouted from inside the room. Bai Renxiang sighed and shook her head. She excuses herself and went to see what that little rascal was up to now.
~Inside~
"What in the world is going on here?!" Bai Renxiang exclaimed as soon as she stepped into the room.
It was a clothing mess. Clothes were thrown everywhere and they were all for Bai Xiaojin. The mastermind behind it stood amid his clothes. Seeing as his mother had come as he wished, he ran to her and dragged her into the room. Bai Renxiang tried to avoid stepping on his clothes but it was not avoidable. So she picked the ones she could with her free hand and placed them on the bed.
"Explain to me why you did all this," she demanded with a serious face.
"I can't find what to wear," Bai Xiaojin said.
He had his head lowered a bit while he repeatedly joined his two pointing fingers together. Bai Renxiang's mouth dropped open in disbelief. First of all, he is a kid. Second, he is of the male species and lastly, he does not have a girlfriend.
So can someone explain to me why he, Bai Xiaojin is finding it difficult to just pick casual clothes to wear for an outing of fun and not some formal party?
"Can you help me choose what to wear?" He asked again. Bai Renxiang snapped out of her thoughts and sat on the bed.
"You do know that it is just the two of us going outright?"
"I know. I just want to wear something good. It is the first time in a long time since we went out on a weekend as we always spend time together at home," Bai Xiaojin said softly and pouted.
"Aww! My baby wants to wear something special for his mummy," Bai Renxiang placed him in her lap.
"I am sorry that we have not gone out for a long time now. But I promise that today is going to be fun-filled. So why don't we wear matching outfits," she suggested.
"Yes. That will be great. Why did I not think of it earlier?" He facepalmed himself.
After choosing an outfit to wear, they took their baths and got ready before stepping out of the room.
"Woah!! Mmmhmm!! Don't you both look so delicious?" Jiang Meilin said playfully.
"Hehehe. Grandma, please don't eat us up," Bai Xiaojin joked as he giggled.
"Well, I can't help it. The two of you look so beautiful and handsome. In fact, my words can't express it," she complimented.
Bai Renxiang and Bai Xiaojin both wore cute panda printed white shirts and denim trousers and snickers to go. Bai Renxiang asked her long hair up making her look younger and youthful. Her make up was very minimal so there was no difference between her face now and without any form of make-up at all. While Bai Xiaojin put on the hoodie attached to his shirt that had cute panda ears.
"I want to keep both of you here with me."
