CHAPTER 385

Thanks to Bai Xiaojin's presence in the kitchen, Bai Renxiang was able to prepare dinner without Li Fengjin distracting her.

But she could still feel Li Fengjin's piercing gaze on her back as she worked. By the time she could not take it any longer, she turned to say something.

Instead of words coming out of her mouth, silence did. Li Fengjin and Bai Xiaojin who was sitting on the high kitchen stools were staring at her like she was some goddess.

They were... in trance. None of them reacted when she turned around to face them. With their elbow on the counter and jaws resting on their hands, one eye was filled with love and adoration.

While the other had the same look but much deeper with extra meanings to it. There was also a tinge of desire in his eyes. Seeing as the both of them were unmoving, she quickly brought her phone and took pictures of them.

"What are doing?" Li Fengjin's curious voice was heard.

Bai Xiaojin snapped out of his daze and looked at his mother who was now keeping her phone away.

"What were you guys thinking of? You were both lost or rather... dazed," Bai Renxiang invaded Li Fengjin's question.

"I was thinking of how awesome and beautiful mummy is," Bai Xiaojin voiced out his innocent thoughts.

"Aww! My baby is so cute," Bai Renxiang blew him a kiss.

Bai Xiaojin caught the imaginary flying kiss and placed it in his heart before giggling cutely. Watching their sweet interaction made a smile bloom on Li Fengjin's face.

"Oh! There you are. I was wondering what took you so long," Mrs Li came in.

"Grandma."

"Did you tell your mother?"

"Yes, I did."

"Good. Renxiang honey, what are you doing there?" Mrs Li asked.

"I am making dinner," Bai Renxiang answered before going to check on the food.

"Oh, dear. You should not have worried about that. You have not even changed out of your work clothes and have not taken a shower to calm your muscles," Mrs Li said with concern.

"No. I can't let you worry about this. I can do it, mum. It is not a big deal to cook immediately after work. Besides, the food is almost ready," Bai Renxiang shook her head and said.

"Sigh. If you say so then. Son, come and help me set the table then," Mrs Li pulled Li Fengjin to follow her.

She did not even wait for the latter to protest or even agree. Soon enough dinner was served. A simple beef stew and potatoes.

The atmosphere was harmonious as ever with their talks and laughter altogether.

....

Mrs Li left to take a warm bath before bed. She had urged Bai Renxiang to do the same for herself and Bai Xiaojin while Li Fengjin took care of the dishes.

But Li Fengjin had another thought in his naughty mind. He places the dishes they used into the dishwasher and left the machine to do its work.

He went to his room and patiently waited for Bai Renxiang there. His mind kept flashing with different ideas of the reward he had intended to give her tonight.

Meanwhile, after Bai Renxiang was done bathing Bai Xiaojin and helping him wear his pyjamas, her phone rang. It was Ning Xiaozhi that was calling.

"Mummy, I am going to stay with grandma tonight. Take your call and I will get going. Good night," Bai Xiaojin pecked her before he ran out of the room to Mrs Li's room.

"Hello, Xiaozhi," Bai Renxiang had picked up the call.

"Hey, bestie. How are you?" Ning Xiaozhi's overly cheerful voice rang out from the phone.

"I am fine. Why did you call just now?"

"Oh, bestie. I saw your missed call. I am sorry I took this long to get back to you," Ning Xiaozhi apologised.

"Really? I know you may have been busy with the restaurant but it is already way past closing hours. So, what were you busy with actually?" Bai Renxiang questioned her.

"That... Well, I... Uhm, I was busy," Ning Xiaozhi cringed at her reply.

Of course, she was busy. Busy making lots and lots of love with her hot doctor boyfriend.

"Busy? I'm your best friend who knows you like the back of my palm, I know that after closing hours you either eat, sleep or watch romantic movies on Netflix."

Bai Renxiang was not buying a word that flew out of Ning Xiaozhi's mouth. Ning Xiaozhi bit her lips with tightly closed eyes. Her bestie saw through her half-truth words.

"I was–"

"Darling, who are you talking to?" Ye Chaoxiang's sleepy yet husky voice interjected her words.

Bai Renxiang's ears perked up. She knew that voice. It was Ye Chaoxiang's voice.

"Renxiang," Ning Xiaozhi answered.

"Oh! Say hi for me."

"Okay. Rennie, Chaoxiang says hi," Ning Xiaozhi conveyed his short message.

"I heard. So, you were busy with Ye Chaoxiang? Why did you not just tell me?"

"Well, if I had told you that I was busy in my on the bed with him, you would not have been able to—"

"Gasp. You were 'that' busy?" Bai Renxiang's face turned pink at her best friend's words.

"I knew you would react like this so I did not tell you the whole thing," said Ning Xiaozhi.

"Okay. I will talk to you tomorrow then. Uhm, tell Ye Chaoxiang that I also said hi. Bye."

Bai Renxiang ended the call almost immediately.

Ning Xiaozhi was stunned for a moment when she heard the sound of the call being ended. She burst out laughing. She could imagine that Bai Renxiang's face would be flushed.

"What was she calling about?" Ye Chaoxiang asked curiously.

"I called her because she called me while we were on cloud nine. I had no idea why but she seems to be shy when I told her and she ended my call," Ning Xiaozhi briefly explained as she kept her phone aside.

••••

Bai Renxiang went back to her room and saw Li Fengjin on his phone. He was wearing a bathrobe but he does not seem like he had taken his bath yet. It made Bai Renxiang wonder what he was waiting for.

'Maybe it is something concerning his company that is why he is so engrossed in his phone,' she thought before she shrugged her shoulders.

The next step she took into the room caught Li Fengjin's attention and he raised his eyes from the phone to look at her.

"Where have you been? I was waiting for you," he said then stood up to walk toward her.

"I- I was on a call with Ning Xiaozhi after Xiaojin's bath," Bai Renxiang stuttered a little.

His closeness was doing her no good as his sweet cologne wafted into her nose, assaulting her senses in the process. His bare visible chest made it clear to her that Li Fengjin might not be wearing anything under that thick dark blue bathrobe.

Bai Renxiang gulped before raising her eyes to meet his. She was drawn into those loving blue eyes of his. For reason, Bai Renxiang's heart swelled with pride for being able to capture the heart of the man standing before her.

The most sought-after bachelor. The only young master and there to the Li Empire. The devil businessman. The most handsome of all handsome men in the entire universe.

He was hers. His body, mind and his heart. A slight blush crept up her cheeks at the thought of his body being hers. Li Fengjin's brows twitched at the sight.

"What are you thinking about?" His voice snapped Bai Renxiang out of any naughty dream she had.

"N-Nothing," she said. "I am going to take my bath first. You can continue with what you were doing on your phone."

"I was not doing anything on my phone," Li Fengjin quickly held her waist.

"Huh?"

"I was patiently waiting for you like a good boy," he joined his forehead with hers.

"Why? Is there something you want us to talk about?" Bai Renxiang asked.

"Not really. But I think you are forgetting something, my love," he smirked as he watched her confused face turn into awareness and then bright res in an instance.

'Of course. How can I be so stupid? He is talking about his so-called reward.'

Bai Renxiang attempted to quickly escape from him but she failed. Li Fengjin had already guessed what she would do when he reminded her of it.

"Not so fast, my love. I am a man of my words and I promised to reward you tonight," Li Fengjin's voice near her ears coupled with his words made Bai Renxiang shiver a little.

"There is no need for that. I already told you before," she tried to talk her way out of it.

"You did. But I can't accept that." He shook his head.

"I–"

"Ssh," he placed a finger on her lips. "Say no more, my love. Don't worry. We won't be doing much of the real deal."

"Can I take a warm bath first?" She asked shyly.

"Can we take that bath together?" He asked instead of answering her.

"What? Why?" Bai Renxiang's eyes flew open.

"I just figured that the heater is bad so I thought we could share the one I prepared for you," Li Fengjin's nonchalant baffled her.

"Oh! Don't worry then. You can take your bath while I use the bathroom in another room. The heater is not bad there."

"You can't do that. You'll disturb mum and Xiaojin's sleep if you go back."
