CHAPTER 230

"Why don't you get a girlfriend?" She asked.

'Why should I do that when you are the only woman on my mind?' He said in his head.

"I am trying to get myself a girlfriend. It is just that, it's quite difficult to get her," he said.

"From your words, can I ask if you have a girl in mind?" Bai Renxiang asked before she could stop herself. She had let her curiosity get the best of her.

'You and your curiosity, Bai Renxiang. Look at what you have done now. I hope he will not be offended by my question?' She mentally chided herself.

"Yeah. I do have a lady in mind," he answered not feeling offended at all. 'In fact, she is sitting right in front of me.'

"But the thing is, I don't know if she'll like me. So I have not made a move yet," he added.

"Why not? Are you waiting for someone to take her away from you?"

Although Bai Renxiang asked such questions, deep within her, she felt a jab at her heart whenever she mention him chasing after another woman.

"Then, can I woo you, Bai Renxiang?" Li Fengjin asked all of a sudden.

Bai Renxiang was taken aback by his question. It threw her off balance. Her mind fell into a frenzy. A bad one.

'What? Wait a minute. Were we not just talking about a lady he was planning to chase after? So how did it end up with him asking if he could woo me instead?'

"Bai Renxiang. Hey," Li Fengjin snapped his finger in front of Bai Renxiang's face.

"Huh."

"Hey. Are you alright?" He asked.

"Yeah. I am. I just... I don't understand," she said.

"Oh! Is it about my question?" Li Fengjin asked.

"Yeah. That... Uhm It is... Why? No, am I the lady we are talking about?" Bai Renxiang asked in a low tone.

"Yes, you are. I have feelings for you. No, let me not put it this way," he shook his head. "Bai Renxiang, I am in love with you," he declared.

Gasp

"Since when?" Bai Renxiang asked absentmindedly.

"Well, since a very very long time back," he answered.

"Oh! But I-"

"It is alright if you do not feel the same. Although, I have a feeling that you like me," he stated innocently.

Bai Renxiang averted her eyes as she cleared her throat to hide the blush that was about to appear on her cheeks. Seeing her little reaction which he found adorable, Li Fengjin just smiled.

"But we just met and know so little about each other and we just became friends. So how and when did you get to have feelings for me?" She asked.

"Point of correction, we met at that restaurant you used to work in and then at the company. We got close a little when we became business partners and from then it led to our friendship," he pointed out.

"Even so. What do you see in me?"

"Do I have to see something in you? You can't tell the heart who and what to love. So this is where my question comes in. Will you allow me to chase after your heart?" He asked as he stared intently at Bai Renxiang.

"I-I. Sigh. There is no need to lie since we are adults. But can you... can you give me time to think about it?" She asked and bit her lips.

"Sure. No problem. But do not let anyone take you away from me before I woo you first," he warned.

"Stop making jokes," she blushed.

"Hahaha."

The next day came as fast as Jiang Bojing prayed it should. He had received a call from Mr Fan that Bai Renxiang had gotten to the company and was currently in her office.

"Good. Continue keeping an eye on her. Be alert at all times, got it?" Jiang Bojing said.

"Hmm. I got it."

Meanwhile, Xia Xinyi was briefing Bai Renxiang on her schedule for the day.

"Boss, you have some documents to sign today. After that, you have a meeting with Mr Ji by ten this morning. Then, your presence is requested at the new hotel that has been built recently. After that, you have nothing on your schedule," she said.

"Alright then. Thank you. Please get me a cup of that sweet and cold chocolate to get me boosted on today's work," Bai Renxiang said with a sweet smile on her face.

"Okay, boss."

After she completed her work on the documents, she prepared to leave the company just to get to the meeting with Mr Ji.

"Boss, should I go with you?" Xia Xinyi asked. "No. There is no need. I have given Secretary Jinhai a list of things that I want you to do for me. But you will go with me to the new hotel we have built, okay?"

"Yes, boss. Take care then and win us that deal," Xia Xinyi cheered.

"Hahaha. I will. See you later then."

As soon as Bai Renxiang left, the company's premises in her car, Jiang Bojing received a call.

"She has left the company."

"Good."

Meanwhile, Investigator Fang also received news from his men that they had sighted Bai Renxiang.

"Where is the location?" He asked.

"Her car is driving through district XX," the man from the other line informed him.

"Good. Initiate the plan. We must get her today. Follow her carefully. When she reaches a quiet area with no camera, you ambush her," Fang ordered.

"Now, Ms Bai would be satisfied."

Ring!! Ring!!

Just as Bai Renxiang was about to answer the call, a loud screeching sound could be heard. It was a result of driver Jun trying to avoid a truck that just popped out of nowhere.

Before he and Bai Renxiang could register what was happening, their car was hit with force causing it to violently swerve and summersault off the road into a dense bush by the roadside.

SCREECH!!!

"Aaahhh!!"

BANG
