Chapter 254 She Is More Important

CHAPTER 254

Ye Chaoxiang and Yang Chen felt hurt when they heard Li Fengjin's words. How could he say such a thing? Were they not brothers?

"What is that supposed to mean, Li Fengjin?" Ye Chaoxiang asked as he stopped what he was doing.

"Gasp. So are you saying that we have never been important for you to treat us to Qing's Restaurant for a meal?" Yang Chen asked as he dramatically gripped his left chest while acting hurt.

"Don't make me start comparing and stating the obvious," Li Fengjin said nonchalantly.

"Harsh!" Ye Chaoxiang said and winced.

"Dude. You just defiled the golden rule of bros before hoes," said Yang Chen.

"Yeah. How could you?"

"How could I not? I do not see what is wrong in what I just said or did," Li Fengjin stated.

"Aahh! You just said we are not important to you. Are we not brothers anymore?" Yang Chen whined.

"Sigh. Listen, you guys are important to me. But Bai Renxiang is more important, alright? Get that through your thick skull and screw that golden rule," Li Fengjin declared.

Bai Renxiang who had not said a word since was surprised at Li Fengjin's declaration. He had just indirectly told his friends that he likes her.

Bai Renxiang blushed when she recalled his question from the previous night.

"Can I woo you?"

Now that she thought of it, she had said she liked him but needed time to know if she shares the same feeling as his.

But who was she kidding? Bai Renxiang knew she also has feelings for him. Feelings that were greater than the likeness she had claimed she only had. She just said so that day so as not to look easy to get.

Bai Renxiang got to know about her love for Li Fengjin when she was kidnapped. All she could think of was him. When she prayed for someone to come and save her, her mind only thought of one person and it was him, Li Fengjin.

It may sound weird and all but when she was almost raped, she swore she preferred Li Fengjin to touch and kiss and not that disgusting Tim.

Then finally, at the moment he hugged her in that room where she was kept, she felt a sense of security and relief. That feeling she had never felt even when she was with Fu Bolin.

That was when Bai Renxiang knew that her heart was ready to accept being loved and wanting to love. But it only wants to receive and give love to Li Fengjin.

"Alright, alright. Enough important talk," Nong Xiaozhi's voice brought Bai Renxiang out of her train of thoughts. "My best friend has been blushing for ages. I am afraid I will not get to see her milky white skin anymore. I do not want a walking tomato as my bestie," she added.

"You- sigh. I hate you, Xiaozhi," Bai Renxiang said under her breath.

"And I love you," Ning Xiaozhi replied and chuckled.

"Okay. Let us eat. We are all hungry, especially Bai Renxiang. Do, why don't we skip the talks for tomorrow and eat? There is enough food to fill our stomach," Li Fengjin said.

"Yeah. I can't wait to try Xu Qing's personally made dishes," Yang Chen said as he rubbed his hands together while licking his lips.

"You guys can take the table," Li Fengjin said as he moved towards the bed with the bed stool in his hand.

"Where will you sit?" Ye Chaoxiang asked.

"Don't be silly, Chaoxiang. He will dine with the most important person in his life," Yang Chen said as he lightly smacked Ye Chaoxiang's shoulder.

"Oh! I see. Then we have the table to ourselves," Ye Chaoxiang said and smiled at Bai Renxiang.

"Where is Assistant Wang?" Bai Renxiang asked as she linked at the empty spot Wang Tingxiao was standing.

"You were too busy drowning in Li Fengjin's sweet words that you did not notice when he left," Ning Xiaozhi answered her.

Bai Renxiang glared at her best friend while Li Fengjin smiled cheekily and the other two chuckled quietly.

Li Fengjin sat facing her on the bed. He placed the stool on her lap while making sure that the legs of the stools were on both sides of her lap.

He arranged a few dishes on the stool. He picked up a spoon and scooped a spoon of rice from the small bowl of rice. After being on it he brought it closer to her lips.

"W-What are you doing?" She asked as her eyes met with the teasing trios at the table.

"What does it look like I am doing? Open your mouth and eat," Li Fengjin said.

"But... But I can eat by myself. I am not a baby and my hands do not hurt either," she said as she stretched her hands to take the spoon from him. Li Fengjin moved the spoon away from her reach.

"You are not well. So as far as I am concerned, you should not be doing anything stressful," he said.

"Is eating considered as anything stressful?" Bai Renxiang asked as she tilted her head a little to the side.

Ye Chaoxiang, Ning Xiaozhi and Yang Chen watched the couple argue from behind. Ye Chaoxiang and Yang Chen found it funny that someone could go against his words.

Plus, both of them were kind of loud so it was loud for them not to want to listen to what they were saying and look at what they were doing.

"If it is not, why do you feed Bai Xiaojin when he gets sick?" He asked.

"How do you know that I feed Bai Xiaojin when he is sick?" She asked suspiciously.

"Seriously? Don't all mothers feed their children when they fall ill? My mother fed me. It is nothing new," he answered with raised brows.

"True. But that is because they are children. Bai Xiaojin is my baby," she replied.

"Well, now you are my baby."
