CHAPTER 292

"He will love it."

"Really? He has never worn a tie though. I just want to give it a try," Bai Renxiang said.

"Listen, child. As far as you give him with love, he is going to love it. The gift does not really matter. It's the person giving the gift that matters," the woman advised.

"Okay. Thank you so much for your help. Uhm, is there anything I can also help you with?" She asked.

"No, there is nothing. I was just on my way back when I saw you," tge woman said.

"Oh, okay. Thank you once again," Bai Renxiang dipped her head in as a bow.

"You are welcome, child. Do not forget to present it to him with the love you used in picking it."

"I will not forget that. Thank you."

With that said, the woman turned and walked away from Bai Renxiang. She had a way smile on her face.

"What a lovely lady. She is so beautiful too," the woman said.

Once she got outside the shopping mall, a black car with tinted glasses stopped in front of her. A young man in black came out and opened the car for her.

As soon as she sat down, she took her phone out of her purse and called someone. In a few rings, the call got connected.

"What took you long?... Oh! You are in a meeting... Then, I will call you later... No, nothing. Just carry on with your work... Yes, I am sure... Alright. I will call you later...Hmm. Love you too. Bye."

She ended the call. A mischievous smile crept up her lovely face as she placed the phone down.

"Donghai?!"

"Yes, madam," the man at the driver's seat answered.

"Did you get everything on the list I gave you?"

"Yes, madam. I put all of them in the trunk," Donghai answered.

"That is great. Now, drive to XXXX. We need to be there before forty minutes," the woman said.

"Yes, madam."

Meanwhile, Bai Renxiang was still thinking of the woman she just had an encounter with. It felt strange to her how the woman appeared and behaved motherly.

"Oh, well. I will pick this tie and a few more. I hope she is right and Li Fengjin would love it," Bai Renxiang whispered.

She picked other ties of different colours and quality shirts befitting her man. After that, she went to the accessories collection and picked two cufflinks and a wristwatch.

"He has all these things and maybe even better. I hope he likes them at least," Bai Renxiang said.

She asked one of the shop attendants to wrap the gifts up before she went to the children's section. She picked a few things for Bai Xiaojin. Then she shopped for her mother, Shin and Shane before she went to settle her bill.

She had so many bags to carry. Before the attendant could ask someone to help Bai Renxiang carry the shopping bags to her car, three bulky men in black came.

The attendant and the staff behind the counter stiffened in fright. Even people passing by were awed and some scared. Bai Renxiang looked shocked to see them.

"Ladyboss, please let us help you with those," one of the men said.

"O-okay," Bai Renxiang allowed them to do as they pleased.

"Oh my! Look at those men."

"They are so huge and the lady so petite."

"She must be a rich young heiress or a wife of a wealthy businessman and those men must be her bodyguards."

People began to whisper as they walked past them. Bai Renxiang looked up at the men. They were indeed huge.

'They must be Li Fengjin's men. Wah! They are so muscular and tall and kind of... scary,' she thought.

Bai Renxiang thanked the attendant and counter lady before she left with the men following her. Then they placed all the bags in the trunk of her car.

"Wait," Bai Renxiang stopped them before they left.

"Yes, lady boss."

"You work for Li Fengjin, right?" She asked.

"Yes, ladyboss," one of them answered.

"Okay. Thank you."

After Li Fengjin was done with his meeting, he called Wang Tingxiao to place a call across Bai Renxiang's assistant and inquire if Bai Renxiang was still at the company.

He was pleased when he was told that she had gone home. Li Fengjin smiled when he thought of her. He wanted to call her but he was shocked when his phone did not switch on.

The battery must have been exhausted. He sighed in disappointment. The only left was for go to go home.

"I will just have to call her when I get home and charge my phone," he murmured.

Li Fengjin wasted no time in leaving the company. It was already two hours past his company's closing hours. Also, his mother would call him any time from now.

His car was already outside the company when he stepped out. Getting in, the driver sped off to his house.

By the time he arrived inside his house, the lights were switched on. Li Fengjin frowned.

"That is strange. I did not see any car apart from mine in the compound or the garage. Could it be a thief?" He became alert.

He slowly and quietly walked into the living room. His eyes were not idle as well as his ears.

"No destruction here. How did a thief even get into my house without my knowledge? What am I paying those damn guards to do?" He whispered.

"A sound. From the kitchen? Is it Yang Chen?"

Li Fengjin asked himself as he made his way to the kitchen. Lo and behold, he saw the back of a woman when he got to the kitchen. It was not Yang Chen but a woman. The lady was standing close to the gas cooker.

Li Fengjin needed no soothsayer to tell him who the woman was. He knew this figure very well.

"Mum?!"
