CHAPTER 545
Bai Renxiang got a nice welcoming scene at the company. The meeting also went well and so was her assessment of each and every department.
It was a stressful morning, yeah. But she knew it was necessary. By the end of it all, she settled down in her office, going through files, reading and replying emails, plannings for the month and whatnot.
By the time she had gone through half of the work on her loaded desk, it was already afternoon. She was yet to have her lunch and had not called Li Fengjin.
She sighed. "I think I should just eat first or call him while eating."
With a decision in mind, she ordered lunch from a restaurant and buried her head back into her work desk.
It for not take time for her order to arrive. After doing the necessary, she settled down in the mini parlour in the office. She opened the take out and the sweet aroma of the food wafted into her nostrils.
Before digging in, she called Li Fengjin. The call did not get to ring for the second time as it got connected quickly. It was even a mistake it got to ring once in the first place.
"Hi there, my love," Li Fengjin's chirpy voice rang out from the phone's speaker.
"Hey, hubby. Good afternoon," she replied him in the same time and a beautiful smile brightening up her face.
"Good afternoon. How are you? Are things on your first day stressful?" He inquired.
"I guess so. It is a downside of being a CEO. That aside, I'm sorry I could not call you earlier."
"Oh babe. Don't be. I understand you were caught up with work. I was too and that is why I did not also call you," he said.
Bai Renxiang sighed. "Have you had your lunch yet? I am having mine right now."
"No, I have not. But I will be having a lunch meeting in fifteen minutes so I will just eat with there," Li Fengjin answered as he checked the time in his watch.
"What are you having for lunch?"
"Well, I ordered for fries and chicken," she replied.
"Hmm. That sounds nice. I wish I could join you," Li Fengjin wished.
"Hehehe," she giggled. "Me too. But don't worry we can make up for it when we will have dinner this evening."
"And I can't wait."
"Ah! Before I forget. Are going to pick Xiaojin together or one of us should go?" She asked.
"Hmm. I don't particularly have any meetings by that time. We can go together if you are also free or I will pick him up by myself," Li Fengjin suggested.
"Alright then. I can't wait to hear all he has to say about his first day. I feel nervous as well," Bai Renxiang said before picking up one of the fries, dipping it in the ketchup and biting out of it.
"Why would you be nervous? That school is the beat there is. Plus, no one would dare bully him now that they all know whose son he is," he assured her.
"I know. But things did not always go well for him when we did not know about you. So..." she left the rest unsaid.
"I understand. But that was when you both did not have me. But now you do. It would it would turn out fine. Besides, he has Lee Ai there with him."
"Alright. I believe everything will be fine with you."
"That's my girl."
Just then the door clicked open after three knocks and Wang Tingxiao came in. "Boss, it is time to head out for the meeting," he informed him.
Hearing this, Bai Renxiang made a mental note that it was time to end the call there. They were both busy after all.
"I will see you later then, my love. You should get going now," she blurted out.
"Yeah. Sigh. I want to talk to you even longer. I miss your voice qnd its calming effects," Li Fengjin sighed before standing up from his chair.
"Tsk. You sweet talker. Don't slack off in work," she playfully scolded him and it earned her a laugh from his side.
"Alright, wifey. I should go and make more money for us and our forthcoming baby," Li Fengjin teased her.
Bai Renxiang gasped and blushed. "What forthcoming baby? We are not even pregnant yet."
"In time, my love. We just need a little more effort and we will be welcoming Xiaojin's little sister."
Bai Renxiang shook her head at him as if he was there to see her. With her smile still as bright as it was, she bade him goodbye for the now.
"Work well, hubby. I love you. Kisses and hugs."
"I will. Thanks for the kisses and hugs. I love you more."
Saying that, they ended the call. When Li Fengjin raised his head after dipping his phone into his pants' pocket, he was met with Wang Tingxiao grinning at him.
"Geez, Tingxiao. If I was not used to your attitude I would have been frightened by that creepy smile of yours," Li Fengjin remarked.
Wang Tingxiao downpour mind his words as he continued grinning and was now even wiggling his brows.
"Someine knows how to be all lovey-dovey with their wife at work," he teased Li Fengjin as he threw his hands across his shoulders.
Li Fengjin smacked his hand away. "Look at the pot calling the kettle black. You were a minute and forty-five seconds late from reminding me about the meeting. Do you think I think I did not know that happened because you were on a call with Lisa?"
Wang Tingxiao coughed into his fists and looked away from Li Fengjin's mocking gaze.
"I have a justification for that. I have a pregnant wife and her hormones are all over the place. I just called to check up on her," he defended himself.
"Yesah right," Li Fengjin scoffed and rolled him.
This assistant of his knows surely know of ways of justifying his inability to stay apart from his wife. Without wasting anymore time, Li Fengjin stepped out of his office and Wang Tingxiao quickly followed suit.
"You will understand all what I am trying to say when your wife gets pregnant," he said in a voice only he and Li Fengjin could hear.
"I'm not scared of Renxiang getting pregnant. I am rather more excited and expecting than scared," Li Fengjin smiled.
Wang Tingxiao paused in his steps and just watched the retreating back of his friend and boss. He sighed a smile and slightly shook his head. Then, he continued in his steps.
'He really can't wait to see Bai Renxiang get pregnant, can he?' Wang Tingxiao thought.

Meanwhile after her meal, Bai Renxiang went back to work. She did not have anything to do till her last meeting by 3:30pm. Just as she was getting engrossed with things, her phone rang.
She knew it was not Li Fengjin because that was not the ringtone she customised to his number. Looking at her phone at the side, on the table a frown made its way to her face.
It read, 'Unknown Number.'
It made Bai Renxiang wonder who the caller might be. She was sceptical bout picking it but a voice at the back of her head kept edging her to answer the call.
"It would not hurt to know who it is. Brides, I can just say wring number and end the calling I can't understand whatever the perennial saying," she said tibherwekf.
With that thought in mind, she picked up her phone to receive the call but it ended before she could. She shrugged her shoulders. She was about to keeping the phone back in the table when the screen lit up when with the smell number.
She sighed and swiped in the green call icon after a few rings. She placed the phone beside her ear and waited for the person at the other end of the phone to say something.
Maybe she can depict from the voice who it was just in case it was the number of a business partner she forgot to save with the name.
"Hello. Please am I speaking with CEO Bai?" A manly voice rang in to her ears.
Bai Renxiang's brows furrowed as she tried to render whose voice that belonged to. But no matter how hard she thought, she could not remember.
So she decided to go with the flow and answer.
"Yes. This is CEO Bai speaking. Who might this be?" She answered and asked a question of her own.
"Ah! That is good then. I was afraid that I got the wrong number," the man let out a short laugh. "Pardon me. I am an old acquaintance and from the looks of things, you did not seem to remember me."
"Forgive me for my forgetfulness. Do make things easier for us both by introducing yourself."
"Very well. I am Mr Sun from Bai Jewelries."
