Chapter 312 Rain Non-Stop

CHAPTER 312

Xin was trying very hard to fix the car quickly. The rain was not showing any signs of reduction and his boss was not willing to go inside the car.

While he was at it, a black tinted Rolls Royce pulled up in front of them. Bai Renxiang and Xin were confused at first.

But when they saw the tall figure stepping out, their confusion faded. It was Li Fengjin. He took large strides toward Bai Renxiang with a black umbrella in his right hand.

"What are you doing in the rain?" Li Fengjin asked with an obvious frown.

"I-"

"Don't you know that there's cold? How can you act so carelessly? Come here," he pulled her under the umbrella.

"The car is bad. I just wanted to see what happened," Bai Renxiang said.

"Are you the driver? Why are you even wearing so little? Gosh. You are unbelievable," Li Fengjin scolded her.

"Why did you let her come out in the rain?" He asked the driver.

"I begged her to step inside. But the boss will not listen to me," Xin said.

'Besides, it is not like I can force her to get inside the car. It is not my fault that I work for a stubborn woman,' he complained in his head.

"You are too stubborn. Get your things from the car and come with me."

"Huh?"

"Come with me. I am taking you home. You can't go anywhere as far as your car is in a very bad state," Li Fengjin said the obvious.

"Oh, yeah. Give me a minute."

Bai Renxiang pulled away from his arms and rushed to get her things. Li Fengjin shook his head and followed her with the umbrella. Bai Renxiang hung her sling purse on her shoulders.

Then she passed her file bag to Li Fengjin. When she carried the sleeping Bai Xiaojin out of the car Li Fengjin's eyes widened.

"Xiaojin has been with you?"

"Yes. He had been sleeping since a while back," Bai Renxiang answered.

Li Fengjin carried Bai Xiaojin from her while she took back the file bag. Bai Xiaojin whimpered in his sleep as the cold breeze blew towards them. Li Fengjin adjusted the coat on his body.

With the umbrella shielding them from the rain, they got to Li Fengjin's car. Bai Renxiang opened the door and quickly got in.

"Turn the heater on," Li Fengjin ordered the driver as soon as he sat inside the car.

The car became warm as the greater was on. Then they drove away. Li Fengjin passed a clean towel to Bai Renxiang so that she could use it to dry up. After, he gave her his black coat to wear.

"Are you feeling better now?" He asked.

"Yes, I am. Thank you very much."

"You car had issues on this rainy day. You had a three years old boy with you. Why did you not call me?" Li Fengjin asked as he passed her a clean towel to dry herself.

"I... It did not slip through my mind. My driver said he could fix the car. I did not see a reason to call you. What if you were already home?"

"I would have found a way to come and get you. What you did was dangerous."

"But I-"

"You will call me next time something like this ever happens. Do you understand?"

"You... Why are you scolding me like a kid and ordering like I am some employee of yours?" Bai Renxiang asked with a frown.

"Sigh. I am not," Li Fengjin shook his head at her

"Yes, you are. You just said 'do you understand?' in a bossy tone. What will you call that?"

"I did... Sigh. Fine. I am sorry. But try to understand me. You are too stubborn. What if you catch a cold later?" Li Fengjin asked.

p "Are you praying that I would catch a cold?" Bai Renxiang fired back.

"Of course, not. Sigh. Forget it. I am sorry for scolding and bossing you," Li Fengjin apologised.

"I forgive you," Bai Renxiang said.

"Great. Come closer to me," Li Fengjin said.

"Why?"

"Because you are cold. Come closer so that I can warm you up."

Bai Renxiang accepted his offer and drew closer to him. Li Fengjin placed one of his arms around her while the other was used as a pillow for a certain sleeping three years old boy.

Bai Renxiang adjusted her coat on her son's body a little more. When she looked up, Li Fengjin stole a quick kiss from her.

"What are you-"

"I missed you so much. I wanted to see you but then the rain started and you had left the company," Li Fengjin said in a low voice.

Bai Renxiang blushed and hid her face on his shoulder.

"Did you miss me too?" Li Fengjin asked with a boyish grin.

"Hmm." Bai Renxiang nodded.

"Alright. I can manage that," he moved his hand up and down on her small back.

Bai Renxiang sighed in satisfaction. She even snuggled closer to him for more warmth and comfort.

"Boss," the driver called.

"Speak."

"It looks like something happened on the road to Ms Bai's house," the driver said.

"How do you know that?" Bai Renxiang asked.

"It is on the radio ma'am. Please, listen to this," the driver said before increasing the volume of the car radio.

Newscaster: "...there has been a massive roadblock from district A to district C, due to the unexpected heavy rainfall. It is advised that citizens whose residents are within that area, should find shelter to stay till the rain subsides and the road is cleared..."

"Oh, no!" Bai Renxiang exclaimed.

"It is alright. You can stay at my place," Li Fengjin suggested.

Ring! Ring!

"Hello. Mum."

"Sweetie, where are you? It is raining cats and dogs out there? I hope you are with Xiaojin," Jiang Meilin said.

"Yes, mum. I went to pick him up from school. We are stocked in traffic," Bai Renxiang said.

"Oh, dear Lord. You will not be able to make it back home. The road is very bad and it is not safe. It is on the news right now. Do you have where you are going to stay? Is your best friend's house close by?" Jiang Meilin asked.

"No, mum."

"What about a hotel? You have to look for a warm place to stay. Your health and Xiaojin's will be at stake if you stay out. It is too cold."

"I know. But there is no hotel anywhere. Also, my car got bad. If-"

"WHAT? Your car is bad? How come?" Jiang Meilin abruptly stood up from the couch.

"I do not know. I-"

"That means you are not moving from where you are? Ask one of those bodyguards to transport you to somewhere safe," Jiang Meilin said.

"Relax, mum. Don't worry. Li Fengjin happened to pass by and saw us. We are in his car now. We will stay with him tonight," Bai Renxiang said.

"Your boyfriend? Will you not be a bother to him?" Jiang Meilin asked.

This Li Fengjin has been helping them quite a lot. Jiang Meilin had begun to feel like a burden. It is not as if he was already her son-in-law that has the responsibility to take care of her daughter and grandson.

"No, we are not a burden. Jin do you think we will be bothering you by spending the night in your place?" Bai Renxiang asked Li Fengjin.

"Not at all. You are welcome to stay with me at any time and any day," Li Fengjin said.

"Did you hear that, mum? We will be fine," Bai Renxiang assured her.

"Oh, thank goodness. I can have peace of mind knowing that you are with him. It will be safer like that anyway. Thank him for me. I owe him big time," Jiang Meilin said.

"I will do that, mum. Rest well and do not worry. I will take good care of Xiaojin."

"I know you will. Oh, and send my regards to his mother for me, will you?"

"I will. Good night, mum."

"Wait. Where is Xiaojin?" Jiang Meilin asked. She had not heard her grandson's voice since the call.

"Oh, he is fast asleep," Bai Renxiang replied as get gaze fell on her sleeping son.

"Alright. Good night, sweetie."

"Good night, mum. Rest well and make sure to lock your windows before you sleep."

"Okay. Enjoy your time with your, ahem! Boyfriend," Jiang Meilin teased her daughter.

"Mum-"

Toot! Toot

The call got disconnected. Bai Renxiang's cheeks were pink. She had no idea her mother would tease her. Sigh. Now that she is in love with someone, she would have to start getting used to this.

"What did your mothers say?" Li Fengjin asked.

"Oh! No-Nothing. Mum just sends her thanks, that's all."

"Alright."

Just like that, Bai Renxiang and her son were going to spend a better night with Li Fengjin. He was overjoyed.

'Hah! I wish this rain would never stop even just for a minute.'
