Chapter 303 Couple’s Stuff

CHAPTER 303
"They were away for so long. And now, they came back with Bai Renxiang blushing hard and Li Fengjin grinning from ear to ear. Do you still want to know what took them so 'long'?" Yi Changying said.
"Oh, yeah. My bad," Yang Chen said and they all laughed.
"What did you guys do?" Mrs Li asked.
"Nothing much. Just some couple's stuff," Li Fengjin shrugged his shoulders.
Everyone had their eyes bulging. Couple's stuff? When he says couple's stuff, does he mean that they...
Bai Renxiang did not see anything wrong with what Li Fengjin said. They kissed and she gave him the things she bought for him before they talked.
Is that not what couples do? Why was everyone giving them a weird stare? It was the silly kind. The one that they were all smiling and some wiggling their brows.
It was only after another few seconds did Bai Renxiang realise what was going through their minds. It was her turn to widen her eyes.
"Guy... It's... It is not what you are thinking. We... I only gave him what I got for him from the shopping mall today and we just... talked," she quickly explained in a stuttering voice.
"Are you sure you guys only talked?" Yi Changying asked teasingly.
"Yeah. If you two only talked, why were you blushing when you guys came back?" Ning Xiaozhi asked.
"I-It is the truth. We just... talked," Bsi Renxiang said as she bit her lip.
"My love, did we just talk?" Li Fengjin turned to ask her.
"Yes, we did," Bai Renxiang eyed him to be quiet about the kissing part.
How could he ask her that with everyone? His mother was there for crying out loud. Bai Renxiang did not want anyone to see them earlier and now he was willing to tell everyone what she did not want them to know.
"Alright, stop teasing the poor girl. Let her be," Mrs Li came to Bai Renxiang's aid. "Come here, my dear," she beckoned her.
Bai Renxiang slowly took her hands from Li Fengjin's and walks to where Mrs Li was seated. She sat down with her.
"You said you gave him what you bought? Did he like it?" Mrs Li said in a voice only she and Bai Renxiang could hear.
"So, you were the wan ist there? I knew it," Bai Renxiang said.
"Yes, I am. So..."
"Ah! Y-Yes. He said he liked all of them. What you said was true. As far as the gift is given with love and is from someone you love, you the receiver would love it no matter what it is," Bai Renxiang said.
"I knew it. He is my son after all," Mrs Li said with a proud smile.
"How did you know it was for Li Fengjin?" Bai Renxiang asked.
"First of all, I had no idea. But seeing the way you were looking and smiling at the tie, I knew it must be for someone you are madly in love with. And that person happens to be my son."
"So you knew me all along?"
"Of course, I knew you. Jin always talks about you whenever he calls me it vice verse. He has also shown me a picture of you. So, I identifying you was not that hard," Mrs Li said.
"I see. Thank you, mum. What you said gave me the courage to give him those."
"That is good to hear. Next time, do not hesitate to give him anything."
"I will not hesitate, mum," Bai Renxiang nodded her head.
"Good girl. It is already late now. Your mother must be worried," Mrs Li said.
"Oh! I wanted to say goodbye when we came back from the tour. I will be going then," Bai Renxiang stood up from the chair.
"Okay. Jin, take her home now."
"Hmm."
"It was nice meeting you, mum. I loved the meal. Have a good night," Bai Renxiang bowed as a sign of courtesy.
"Thank you. Good night."
"Good night guys," Bai Renxiang waved to everyone.
"Good night."
Bai Renxiang was led out of the garden by Li Fengjin. Their hands were intertwined as they left. Li Fengjin did not feel like driving so he called his chauffeur to handle the car.
He joined Bai Renxiang in the back seat. He was hugging her. Bai Renxiang smiled at his behaviour.
"You know, tomorrow we can still meet at work or go to a restaurant," she said.
"That is tomorrow. I still want to stay with you much longer today," Li Fengjin said. "Drive slowly," he ordered the driver.
*giggle*
"You are such a baby."
"Only for you."
"Thank you, Jin," Bai Renxiang said after a while of silence.
"What are you thanking me for?" Li Fengjin asked.
"For everything."
"Namely..."
"For letting me know that you would stand with me always. For wanting to wait for me. For being my boyfriend," she listed.
"Silly. I told you before, didn't I? I love you and that is why I am doing all those. I also told you to stop thanking me for all this stuff."
"That is impossible. You thank me too. I will always thank you. You have got to be used to that and start learning how to say you're welcome, my love. Understood?" Bai Renxiang said as she poked his chest with a finger.
"Fine. You are welcome, my love."
"That's more like it," she said and placed her head back on his chest.
"So... You told your mother about me, huh?"
"How did you know that?"
"She told me herself."
"Ah! I always tell her about you. Are you angry that I did?" Li Fengjin asked.
"No. Why would I be? I am glad you do not hide our relationship from your parents. It means and proves a lot. I am so lucky to have you," Bai Renxiang said and snuggled closer to him.
"Nope. I am the lucky one here. I love you."
