CHAPTER 271
"How sure are you about his feelings for you? he might be playing with you," Ye chaoxiang reasoned out.
he earned himself a glare from li fengjin. he turned a blind eye to the dude as he was trying to act serious in his questioning. Also, he was enjoying the turn of events.
"I doubt that he is playing with me. He said so himself. He told me he loves me," Bai Renxiang said with an obvious blush she, herself was not even aware of.
"Oh! So this business partner has the guts to have a thing for my granddaughter," old man Jiang said as he stroked his jaw.
"What is wrong with that?" Bai Renxiang asked.
"Nothing."
"So, is he romantic?" Bei Suzy asked.
"Well, yeah. From the little time we have spent together, he is romantic," Bai Renxiang answered honestly.
In their sight, she looked like a beautiful teenager in love. Bai Xiaojin noticed that his mother really deems to like this guy. She was just spouting things about him absentmindedly She just forgot she was being secretive a while ago
"What is his name?" He took the opportunity to ask.
"Li Fengjin."
GBAGHAN
"0_0"
Bei Suzy and Wen Shaoming turned to look at the man in question. He was staring at Bai Renxiang with tender loving eyes. He even had an amused smile on his face.
"YOU?!" Old man Jiang and Bai Xiaojin looked at Li Fengjin in utter disbelief.
It was at the loud sound of their voice that Bai Renxiang woke up from her... whatever she was dreaming or thinking about. Bai Renxiang then realized what had happened.
She had just spilt the beans with her own hands or lips. She did not want them knowing but she unintentionally told them about the person she went to meet in that classy five-star restaurant.
Bai Renxiang's eyes widened as she gulped and blushed hard. Her face, up till her ears were very red. She turned to Li Fengjin and saw him staring warmly at her.
Then, she looked at her son and grandfather. They had tye same look of disbelief on their eyes and faces.
'Oh no! What did I do?' She questioned herself.
Bai Xiaojin was stunned. He kept alternating his eyes between Li Fengjin and his mother.
"Mummy! Is he the one you are referring to? The business partner?" He asked.
"Does your mother know any other Li Fengjin apart from me?" Li Fengjin questioned.
"I don't think so," Bai Xiaojin shook his head.
"So... My boss likes or rather loves... my formal co-worker who is my friend who is now the boss of Jiang's Corporation?" Bei Suzy asked in a daze.
"Yes, I do. Is there something wrong with that?"
"Oh. My. God! Sweetheart, please pinch me."
"I need someone to pinch me too. I think I am seeing and gearing things. Bai Renxiang is blushing and avoiding eye contact," Wen Shaoming said. He was also in a daze.
Ning Xiaozhi laughed out loud at all the happenings. She felt so excited and fulfilled. Her best friend loves a guy who is perfect for her.
"I knew you cared for her so much. More than normal. I noticed it yesterday when I first entered this room and heard your words," Jiang Meilin said.
"I am had that you are aware ma'am," Li Fengjin said.
"So, for the million-dollar question, which I have a feeling all of us are dying to know... Bai Renxiang do you also have feelings for this business partner?" Ning Xiaozhi asked.
All eyes shifted to Bai Renxiang's res face. They were awaiting her answer and they watched her every move and expression.
Bai Renxiang was uncomfortable with all the staring. Especially the stares from Li Fengjin. She could not find the boldness to look up or stare back at anyone.
She bit down on her lower lip as she fiddled with her fingers. She really looked like a teenager in love. So adorable and innocent and... so in love. Hearts warmed at the sight.
"Well... I-I... I Uhm, ye-yes," she stuttered shaky as she swept a few strands of her hair behind her red ears.
"Aaahhh!!!" Ning Xiaozhi and Bei Suzy squealed in glee.
They shocked everyone with their sudden high pitched screams. Jiang Meilin, Ye Chaoxiang and When Shaoming smiled. While Bai Xiaojin hugged Li Fengjin.
They were happy.
"Ahem!" Old man Jiang cleared his throat to stop the noise and get attention. They turned to face the old man.
"So... You claim to love my granddaughter, huh?" He asked.
"Yes, sir," Li Fengjin said.
Old man Jiang sighed and looked at his daughter, Jiang Meilin. She just smiled and gave a small nod. Then he looked at Bai Renxiang.
'This daughter and granddaughter of mine have gone through a lot because of the men they chose to have an affair with. I do not want that to happen again. Especially to Bai Renxiang. But she seems to love this Li Fengjin of a boy. Her eyes were full of love when she answered the questions we asked her,' the old man thought.
Then his eyes trailed to Li Fengjin who was, in turn, staring at him with a serious expression mirroring his.
'This young man. He indeed cares a lot for my Bai Renxiang. But... he might be putting on a facade. This man is a known player. He toys with women. What if my granddaughter becomes another one of his playthings? But when Charlie did a little check on his recent activities, Li Fengjin had no affair for quite a long time. Maybe he is changing his way. I should give my consent. They love each other.'
"Sigh. Since you lobe her and she does, I should not fight it. You can court my little Ren," old man Jiang said.
"Thank you, Mr Jiang," Li Fengjin says in relief.
"But..."
'Damn it! There is a but. There is always a but,' Li Fengjin said in his mind.
"If you do anything to hurt her, oh my, my, my!" Old man Jiang shook his head as he smiled evilly making everyone gulp.
"I don't think you should know what will happen to you if your hurt my precious pearl," he said before standing up. "I hope young master Li Fengjin would be sensible and careful with Bai Renxiang."
"I will cherish her more than you do and treat her like the fragile flower that she is," Li Fengjin said.
"Hmm. Very well then. I am leaving now. Rest well, Renxiang. The rest of you, please have a good day."
"We will. And you too, Mr Jiang," Ye Chaoxiang said.
"Bye, grandpa. Send my regards to Charlie and Jun," Bai Renxiang said.
"Alright. That reminds me. Charlie said he would stop by later or tomorrow. As for Jun, he is recuperating just fine and feels sour for not being able to protect you," he said.
"Oh! He should not. He was too injured to move a finger even if he wanted to protect me," Bai Renxiang said in understanding.
"I will let him know about that. Bye."
Click. The door closed.
"Congratulations to you both," Wen Shaoming said.
"Yeah. I wish you guys a happy relationship life and sweet bliss," said Bei Suzy.
"Thank you," Li Fengjin said while Bai Renxiang blushed.
"We would be leaving too. Take care, Bai Renxiang," Bei Suzy said.
"Okay. Have a safe trip home," Bai Renxiang managed to say before they left.
A few minutes later, Li Fengjin handed a small bag to Bai Renxiang. She looked at him with confused and questioning eyes.
"Don't just stare. Go ahead and take a look at what is inside," he said.
"Gasp. Is this your first gift as my best friend's boyfriend?" Ning Xiaozhi asked.
"Well, kind of. Let us just it is a warm-up of what I will be giving her," Li Fengjin said with a shrug.
Bai Renxiang dipped her hand in the bag and it came out with a phone. She gasped when she saw what type it was.
It was a gold coloured Xiaomi Mix 4 phone. Ning Xiaozhi's mouth dropped open at the glorious sight. She was awed.
Bai Renxiang looked at him and then at the phone.
"All the details in your previous phone are in this one. So you do not have to worry about that," he said. "Do you like it?" He asked.
"I love it. Thank you so much," was all she could say.
She was smiling as her fingers smoothly glided over the surface of the phone.
"I am glad you love it."
Bai Renxiang switched on the phone. The first place she went to on the phone was her gallery. She sighed in relief when she saw all her pictures with Bai Xiaojin were intact.
She changed the wallpaper to a picture of herself and Bai Xiaojin. While doing that, Bai Xiaojin climbed onto the bed and hugged her.
"Mummy."
"Yes, my love."
"Since you like him, does that mean that he will be my daddy now?"
