CHAPTER 130

Bai Renxiang went back to work after the call with her mother and her son. Although the files and theur contents were a little bit complicated, she stilled managed to finish them.

By the time she looked outside the floor to ceiling window in her office, she discovered that the night had come quiet quickly as the day was already dark.

She stood up from the chair and went towards the window. The view from the company was indeed magnificent. She could see the lighting of other buildings and the street lamps that were fixed by the road side and on the partition that divides road in two.

She could also see cars of various shapes and sizes zooming on the road as they rushed to wherever they might be going to. The view somehow eased her stress from today's work.

Bai Renxiang sighed. So this is how she is going to leave her everyday life. She is now a CEO. She holds the greatest responsibility in the company. Bai Renxiang let out another sigh. It looks like she has been sighing more often than not lately.

She picked up her things and was about to place a call to Shane to come pick her at the usual place. But she then remembered that she no longer worked at Emperor's Enterprise.

Just then, Charlie knocked and entered the office. "Boss are you ready to leave. It is almost getting late and the chairman is already asking if you have left the company," he said.

"Oh. I am all ready to leave now," she said.

"Let us go then the driver has been waiting for a while now. Let me help you with those," he said as he stretched his hands to carry the bag she had in her hands.

"There is no need for that. I can handle it," she politely declined his helpful offer.

"I insist boss," Charlie was adamant.

Bai Renxiang sighed in surrender and passed him the small bag she had put some files in so that she could take it home and work on them. She took out the key Charlie have have earlier that afternoon from her purse and locked the door of the office before they headed for the elevator.

They made a stop at an ice cream parlor to buy Bai Xiaojin his ice cream as promised before going home. Bai Renxiang asked Charlie to stay over for dinner but he declined saying that he had some other things to attend to and Old man Jiang needed his help.

Bai Renxiang did not probed further as she knew how Charlie cared for her grandfather. They were like father and son. Old man Jiang was the one who took him out of the streets were he survived on leftovers in trash cans to live with him on the mansion, fed him, clothes him and sponsored his education.

He was just a little kid who had suffered due to his parents death. Charlie remained grateful for the old man's act of kindness he has showed to him and has pleged loyalty to the man. So Bai Renxiang just said her goodbye for the day and walked into the large building where her apartment is.

While she was walking to her apartment, she met him. She had not really seen him for a while and just looking at him now, she felt... weird.

"Renxiang," he called out. He himself was surprised to see her. Although he process of getting over her was working, he still felt a sharp pain course through his chest just like that day. The day he had confessed and she had turned him down.

"Minsheng," Bai Renxiang put on a smile to disperse the awkwardness that was about to suffocate the both of them.

"Hi. It has been a while. How are you?" She asked.

"Yeah it has really been a while. I am fine and you? How is little Jin and aunty?" He smiled but his smile too.

"They are fine. Thank you for asking."

"I see that you are just coming from work. You had another stressful day at your work?"

"Yeah kind of," she said as she still kept the smile on her face.

She did not want to tell him that she had resigned and is now a CEO of a big company. It is not everything that happens in one's life that one would tell all the friends that one has, right?

"I see. Oh let me allow you to take your rest then. You look tired and I bet little Jin misses you like hell," Yi Minsheng said.

"Hahaha. As usual. Alright goodnight Minsheng. See around some other time, yeah?" She said.

"Yeah. Good night." And they went their separate ways to their separate apartment.

Once Bai Renxiang opened the door, Bai Xiaojin came running towards her like always to receive hugs and kisses from his favourite person, his mother.

"Mummy! Mummy welcome," he sang as he ran to her.

Bai Renxiang dropped her bag with careless abandon as she scooped him up, did a twirl before showering with lots and lots of kisses making Bai Xiaojin to giggle. Yep, he is as ticklish as his mummy and grandma.

"Ha! I missed my baby so so much. Did my love miss me too?" She asked as she closed the door and walked further into the apartment.

"Mmmhmm. Do you even have to ask? Of course I would miss my mummy. Oh! How was your first day at work?" He asked.

"Well of course I did. I like the environment and I like my office and all," she described her office for her son and what she did for the day.

"Wow. Sounds like mummy's office is cool. Can I go there someday?" He asked cutely.

"Of course. I will definitely take you there. But not tomorrow or anytime soon, okay?"

"Okay. I understand mummy. But make sure to tell me if anybody dares to bully you at work.. I will teach them a lesson for you."
