Playboy CEO Has a Baby

Chapter 351 Nervous And Scared

************

CHAPTER 351

The press conference was a very important part of the whole thing.

"You know that this is literally your first appearance in public," Li Fengjin said.

"Yes. But I think I can manage," Bai Renxiang convinced both him and herself.

"Are you sure? How do you feel? There would be a lot of questions that you will be asked. Are you prepared for them?" He asked.

"Yes. As far as it is relating to this whole issue, I am ready for whatever they ask. Besides, it would only be for a few minutes," Bai Renxiang shrugged.

"Yes, but it might take longer than a few minutes. Anyway, it all depends on how your company handles the stuff and you."

There was a bit of silence after he said that. Bai Renxiang was in deep thought. She really wants the press conference to be as short as possible. Not too many questions, not too many people or media and yada yada yada.

"Hey... What is wrong?" Li Fengjin asked after he noticed her uneasy expression.

"I... It's... It is just that I am a bit scared and nervous," Bai Renxiang's voice was shaky.

She took a deep breath to calm herself. Looking at how she was, Li Fengjin truly wished he could be with her there.

If he was there, he would have engulfed her in an assuring hug by now and kissed her forehead. Then, he would tell her that everything would be alright.

But since he is not with her, he had to use just words to ease her.

"Don't worry too much. Everything will be fine. This is just a phase that is going to pass," he said.

"I know but I am really scared. What if... what if they bring back the past?" she stuttered.

"What past? You have nothing to worry about in the past. It is all good... Right?"

Bai Renxiang shook her head. Her past was not good. Not the one she remembers. Li Fengjin was confused. What is it about this past that she is so scared of?

At first, he thought that it was their one-night stand she was worrying about. But it does not seem like it is. There was something else.

"Jin, you know I used to stay in City S, right?"

"Yeah. That was where it all began. Us," he said.

"Yes. But before that, you know I... I was involved in a... in an sc-scandal."

"What? What scandal?" Li Fengjin asked.

"I don't know how it happened. But I framed for sleeping... with a business partner to get a deal for my dad's company. There were... there were pictures, Jin. But I know that nothing happened. I mean, you were my first time. Y-You... believe me right?"

Li Fengjin was quiet as his brain processed everything she had just told him. Scandal? Pictures meaning evidence? Sleeping with a partner in businesses to get a deal? Believe?

"J-Jin. Say something."

"I-"

"You are not going to leave me, right? You believe me, right? You remember that nightstand we had. You remember taking my first, right? Answer me, please," Bai Renxiang's eyes were getting red and watery.

"My love, I am not going to leave you. I was just digesting what you told me," Li Fengjin finally said something. "I will never leave you so don't cry."

"Really?" Bai Renxiang asked to be sure she was not hearing things.

"Do you want me to say I don't?" Li Fengjin asked.

"No. I mean... I really did not do anything like that, I swear."

"I know. I was your first. I trust and believe in you... But is that why you are scared? For something that is probably not true?" Li Fengjin asked.

"But in business image matters, right?"

"Stop worrying. Besides, I bet your grandfather would have erased that scandal. Also, you can clear your name now that have you the money and power to do so. Also, you have me. I can get to the bottom of the scandal and find out the truth. Just focus on other things."

"Thank you. But, I would like to do that by myself. Maybe after everything is settled."

"Alright. I will hang up now. After you talk to your grandfather and may be prepared for your conference, call me. I will come and pick you up," he said.

"I am guessing that those paparazzi guys would be swarming by the entrance of your company."

"Jin there is no need to do that. I-"

"Then we can go and get Xiaojin and I will take you both to your mother," Li Fengjin interjected her.

"You will not take no for an answer, will you?" Bai Renxiang sighed.

"You know me well, wifey," Li Fengjin said with a playful smile and then he winked at her.

"Jin, this is not the time to tease me. I am in a serious situation," Bai Renxiang said as she massaged her temples.

"I know. That is why I am trying to make you loosen up more. If one of your employees sees you looking agitated, how do you want them to hope that things will be okay? As the head, you should not show any emotion now. Only show your determination to pull your company out of this mess."

"Sigh. Only determination. My strong will." Bai Renxiang chanted.

"Yes. You can do this. I believe in you. Just remember to breathe and also me, of course," Li Fengjin pointed himself.

"Hahaha," Bai Renxiang laughed.

"Yes. You must remember me because I am your calming pill, right? You said so yourself."

"Yes. I did. I will remember you. Always."

"That's my woman. So... See you later today. Bye."

Just as he wanted to disconnect the call, Bai Renxiang stooped him.

"Jin wait..."

"Yes."

Bai Renxiang's mouth opened and closed like a fish but no words came out. Li Fengjin stared at her in amusement. He could see the slight blush on her cheek.

Then he heard her.

"I love you," she said.

With a soft smile, Li Fengjin reciprocated her words, "I love you too. Kisses and hugs. Bye."

"Bye."
