CHAPTER 176

"So Assistant Charlie, what brought you here?" Bai Renxiang asked.."I came to deliver another message from elder master Jiang,x Assistant Charlie said.

"Okay. What did he tell you to tell me?" Bai Renxiang asked with interest

"He told me to inform you that he would be travelling out if the city to have a mini vacation at Maldives,x Assistant Charlie said.

"Vacation? At Maldives? Why?" Bai Renxiang asked in shock.

"Well boss. Elder master Jiang has been handling this company for years. It is only natural that he gets his own time off how that the company is in capable hands," Assistant Charlie tried to explain the whole matter in a more reasonable way.

"Yes boss. What Senior Assistant Charlie said is true. Besides, I am a hundred percent sure that boss could handle the company,x Assistant Xia Xinyi agreed with Senior Assistant Charlie.

"And also you can just place a call across to us whenever you need anything or want some important details about the company or a business partner or anything," Charlie said.

"Woah woah woah. Hold it right there. Wait a minute. Stop," Bai Renxiang shushed Charlie.

"What do you mean by 'us'? Are you going with him?" She asked.

"Well u am going with him. I always follow him wherever he goes," he said matter of factly.

"Oh! So how long are you guys going to be away?" Assistant Xia Xinyi asked.

"Two weeks perhaps. Just to relax."

"Alright fine. I think I can handle things quiet well. I have my assistant Xia Xinyi with me and myself also," Bai Renxiang felt convinced of herself.

"I believe in you and your grandfather also too. So I will be taken my leave now. Elder master will call you later today," he said as he stood up and prepared to leave.

"Alright. Have a safe trip to Maldives and make sure the both of you bring back souvenirs for me and Xia Xinyi," Bai Renxiang said.

"Definitely boss. Have a nice day," he took one last now before exiting the office.

****

Li Fengjin, Ye Chaoxiang and Yang Chen met up in the afternoon as they could not do so in the morning. Ye Chaoxiang received an emergency call from the hospital as early as four o'clock in the morning, so their meeting was postponed.

This time of their meeting, Ye Chaoxiang was the late one. He looked worn out when he arrived and came to seat at his usual spot in their table. The normal Ye Chaoxiang would never have a hair as messy as the one on his head right now.

"Hey bro. You look battered," Li Fengjin said.

"Do I really look like that?" Ye Chaoxiang asked.

"Yeah. My camera shows the same and it can never lie," Yang Chen said as he showed Ye Chaoxiang the picture of himself. Yang Chen had taken it when he stepped into the restaurant.

"Men I look bad," Ye Chaoxiang said and started arranging his hair. But he had yanked and takes it so many times that the hair remained stubborn as some strands still fell out of place.

"Stop trying so hard and I do not intend to have hair for lunch," Li Fengjin teased and Yang Chen laughed.

"You still have the cheek to make fun of me at this moment. Tsk. What a friend I have," Ye Chaoxiang glared at Li Fengjin as he clicked his tongue.

"Hehehe. I am sorry. Now stop being paranoid and tell us why you look like... that," Li Fengjin said as moved his hands up and down in a repeated motion in front of Ye Chaoxiang.

"Sigh. I had an emergency call early this morning. I rushed to a the hospital and up until I told you guys that I was on my way, I have performed different surgeries," he briefed them on his day.

"Damn! Being a life saver sure is tasking," Yang Chen said.

"Hmm. I hope that you are not intending to still go back there after this lunch?" Li Fengjin asked with a serious face.

"Sigh. I do not know. Patients might still come in later for their booked appointment," Ye Chaoxiang sighed.

"I hate to be selfish but you are not going back to that drug filled place again for today," Li Fengjin stated. He was one to be over worried about his friends when they were stressed out. He could be such an annoying mother hen.

"I understand your worry bro but no can do. My presence is still needed at the hospital. I have patients with appointments for today. I can't just bail on them," Ye Chaoxiang protested.

Li Fengjin sighed and stared intently at Ye Chaoxiang. There was a certain dorminace and anger surging out of him and it made both Ye Chaoxiang and Yang Chen uncomfortable.

"Sigh. Come on bro. I have sick oldies and kids that needs my help," he said as he had already started to feel frustrated at Li Fengjin's adamant stare.

"Okay fine. I will just attend to a few patients and then retire back home early. I promise," he said the last part with his right hand placed on the left part of his chest.

"Do whatever you want," Li Fengjin finally agreed but Ye Chaoxiang knew it better.

He was not convinced at all. Especially with the way Li Fengjin's face was still showing a hint of anger as he called for a waiter and placed his' and Yang Chen's orders, leaving Ye Chaoxiang to order what he wants.

Ye Chaoxiang was dumbfounded at his friend's attitude. Li Fengjin just deliberately left out his order. Yang Chen who was just watching his two friends from the side could only shake his head. Being kind of the youngest amongst the three of them, he could only seat back and watch the two big boys behave like children.

Ye Chaoxiang smiled devilishly as an idea popped into his head. When the waiter asked what he would like to order, he just said that he was hit hungry. The waiter left and after a few minutes of silence, Li Fengjin and Yang Chen's food was placed in the table.

Li Fengjin did not still utter any word and went ahead in picking his cutlery and dived into his plate of roast chicken, rice and tomato sauce. Yang Chen looked pitifully at Ye Chaoxiang and started eating, missing the playful yet mischievous look in his eyes.

SCOOP

Before anyone could register what was happening, Ye Chaoxiang snatched Li Fengjin's spoon and stole a scoop of rice and ate it.

"You-" Li Fengjin eyes were opened with surprise.

Even Yang Chen looked at Ye Chaoxiang with eyes filled with shock and amusement. Ye Chaoxiang smiled triumphantly as he munched on the scoop of rice. After swallowing, he took from the piece of chicken that Li Fengjin had sliced and ate it while the two were still on their state of shock. He chuckled and downed Yang Chen's glass of Juice.

"Ha! The food is great," he commented and looked at his friends.

"What? Why are you staring at me like I have two horns on my head?" He asked innocently.

"Ye Chaoxiang, did you just snatch my spoon to steal my food?" Li Fengjin asked as he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him.

"Yeah I did. I think I should join you. Oh and Xiaochen, this juice is refreshing," he answered casually.

"Dude!" Li Fengjin called.

"Do not dude me Jin. You did not order anything for me and to my understanding, that only means that you want me to eat with you," Ye Chaoxiang said.

"Then it turns out that you are dumb," Li Fengjin said flatly.

"Gasp. You mean fool. How can you call me dumb?" Ye Chaoxiang gasped as he placed his hand on his chest. Li Fengjin ignores him and called for a waiter to bring another plate of rice, tomato sauce, roast chicken and a glass of juice for Ye Chaoxiang. Ye Chaoxiang smiled and thanked Li Fengjin before relaxing on the chair.

"So Ye Chaoxiang, what were you so busy with when I called last night?" Li Fengjin asked after a while. Yang Chen looked at Ye Chaoxiang with curiosity while Ye Chaoxiang smiled cheekily as he remembered his date with Ning Xiaozhi.

"Woooohhhh! He has got that smile," Yang Chen wiggled his brows.

"What? What smile?" Ye Chaoxiang asked.

"The one you have when you are thinking but f something or someone special," Li Fengjin answered.

"So mind to share what you did or where you went to yesterday?" Yang Chen probed.

"You told me you would tell when we meet this morning which we postponed till this afternoon,x Li Fengjin added

"Oh yeah that. I went out with someone," Ye Chaoxiang stalled.

"Gasp. A date?" Yang Chen asked.

"You can call it that."

"Woah. Who is this special girl that made our Ye Chaoxiang go on a date with her?"
