CHAPTER 364

"None of you like, Xiaojin. You are just trying to get on his good books. Well, too bad for you. I hold the good book of Bai Xiaojin. So back off losers. My buddy and I need some space to breathe. Shoo. Go away," Gu Mingzhe waves his hands at them like they were troublesome chickens.

At that, the kids left with their heads lowered. But it was not yet over for Gu Mingzhe. The boy kept grumbling about it.

"We did not talk well in the morning before the teacher came. They did not so give us a chance to work freely during the lunch break. And now that we will soon go home, they want to snatch up that time. No way."

"Pft... Hahaha," Bai Xiaojin finally let out the laughter he has been trying to hold in.

Gu Mingzhe turned to Bai Xiaojin. With an angry face and asked, "What is so funny?"

"Hahaha... You scared them off," Bai Xiaojin laughed while clutching his stomach.

"So? Oh, do you perhaps enjoy their company? Huh, Xiaojin?"

"Of course not," Bai Xiaojin shook his head.

"You better not. I can't believe those pea-sized brained classmates of yours," Gu Mingzhe snorted before sitting on the bench.

Bai Xiaojin sat beside him. "But they are also your classmate, Mingzhe."

"I know and I am so annoyed. Total cowards." "Now, who did you hear that word from?" Bai Xiaojin asked with a chuckle.

Most of the time, Gu Mingzhe's word comes to school with a new curse. When Bai Xiaojin would ask, it would be either he heard it from his father or his neighbours or some people from wherever he would visit.

"From my dad. Anyway, that is not what is pissing me off right now. How could you be cool with those guys?"

"I was not free with them. I did not like their presence as much as you also don't like it. I wanted to say something but you blew up. So I just let you take the spotlight," Bai Xiaojin explained.

"You should have said something sooner. What if they had managed to snatch my only best friend before he even realize it?" Gu Mingzhe asked.

"Do you take me for a fool, Mingzhe? You are my only true friend. We promised to be best friends forever, right?"

"We did."

"Great. Now, make that ugly face better before I break our promise," Bai Xiaojin said.

"Fine. Best friends forever?" Gu Mingzhe stretched his hands.

Accepting his hand, Bai Xiaojin shook it. "Best friends forever."

"Xiaojin."

Turning to see who was calling him, Bai Xiaojin's eyes shone with excitement and surprise. He dashed towards the elderly woman and hugged her right.

"Grandma."

"Oh, my cute baby boy. Grandma came to pick you up from school today," Mrs Li said.

"I am so happy. Where are daddy and mummy?" Bai Xiaojin asked looking behind her?

"Your daddy went to help your mommy out at work."

"Why? Is mummy having trouble at work? Did someone bully my mummy?"

"Well, I do not think anyone can buy your mummy. But she had to face those people with cameras and big microphones. So your daddy went to support her. Yeah," Mrs Li nodded at her own explanation.

"Oh! Mummy will be okay as far as daddy is there. Come, grandma. Come and meet my best friend," Bai Xiaojin pulled her by her hand to where he formally sat with Gu Mingzhe.

On getting there, he started the introduction. He turned to his confused friend.

"Mingzhe, meet my grandma. Grandma meets my best and only friend, Gu Mingzhe."

"It is so nice to meet the best friend of my grandson. How are you, dear boy?" Mrs Li asked as she patted Gu Mingzhe's head.

"I am fine, good afternoon, ma'am... But Xiaojin she is not that grandma," he looked over to Bai Xiaojin.

"That grandma is my mummy's mummy. But this grandma is my daddy's mummy, okay. They both love me so much."

"Oh! I get it. It is nice to meet you too, Xiaojin's daddy's mummy," Gu Mingzhe smiled.

"Ah... I think Xiaojin's daddy's mummy is too much of a little for me. Just call me grandma Li."

"Okay, grandma Li."

Meanwhile, Fu Bolin and his friends were not the only ones that had seen the news. The family residing in the Bai mansion had seen it too.

Mr Bai was stunned to bits when he saw it. He could not believe that that woman, the CEO, was the daughter he once disowned and had almost forgotten.

His chest tightened with what one would call guilt. Or was that it?

Meanwhile, Lin Ying could not stop worrying. She was chewing the inside of her mouth when she was watching the news.

"How could it be? That slut's daughter can't be doing well then my daughter. No. If this is true, then... Gasp. The inheritance," Lin Ying gasped.

Her eyes grew wide in shock as the realization dawned on her. With this sudden wealth of Bai Renxiang, her daughter might lose the chance of getting Bai Guiren's inheritance.

Bai Ming might get a little. But a little was not what they were settling for. They wanted all. And to do that, she can't let that woman's daughter win.

"I must earn Bak Ming beforehand. I should call her," Lin Ying said as she quickly picked up her phone from the table and placed a call to her daughter.

On the first ring, Lin Ying quickly ended the call before another. She had just remembered that Bai Ming would be in an important meeting in the company.

She could not disturb her and Lin Ying had no idea when that meeting would be over. She heaved a distressed sigh as her back slammed on the couch.

"Oh, no. I will have to wait until Bai Ming gets home before I tell her. She would not have seen the news," she said.

With a determined and calculating gaze, Lim Ying voiced out, "I can't let that Jiang Meilin and her daughter ruin what I had suffered to gain."

Just as Lin Ying was stressing herself by worrying over what Bai would do and might not do in the future concerning the inheritance, Bai Renxiang in question was being pampered by her fiance.

After the massage Li Fengjin gave her feet, they lay together on the couch. They just talked about the press conference and whatnot.

"Jin."

"Hmm."

"Are you not needed in your company?" Bai Renxiang asked.

Since Li Fengjin has come to see her, he had not decided to go back. Or she could say that he was not even thinking of deciding to go back.

"You are the one that needs me the most. The company can wait in line till it gets to their turns" Li Fengjin replied as he higher her tighter.

"But I am alright now. We have just been lying on the couch. I still have some paperwork to finish and to quickly pick Xiaojin from school. We will be late for that," Bai Renxiang said.

She tried to stand up from her lying position on his body but she ended up falling back on him. Li Fengjin had lightly pulled her back

"Just lie down for a little while longer."

"But-"

"Mum would have gone to pick him up by now," he interjected her.

Bai Renxiang ripped her chin on his cheat and asked, "Mum? Your mother?"

"Yes. She asked if she could do it so I agreed."

"Sigh. Remind me to thank her later."

"Okay," Li Fengjin said as he caressed her cheek.

Just then, someone knocked thrice on her office door and immediately came in.

"Boss, the netizens are- oh my gosh!" Xia Xinyi quickly turned around with her eyes closed and her back facing the intimate couple in the office.

"Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I am so... so sorry for barging in like that, boss and... and Mr Li. I— I had no idea you were with my boss. Please continue with what you were doing. Just pretend as if I did not come here," Xia Xinyi rambled before she dashed out of the office before any of the two persons lying on the couch could say anything.

Immediately, the door shut close with an unintentional thud, Bai Renxiang snapped back to her senses.

"What just happened? Did my assistant just see me... lying on you?" Her face was brining hot as her wide eyes stared at Li Fengjin.

"I think she did see us like that. Is there–"

"Oh. My. God," Bai Renxiang shouted and abruptly stood up from Li Fengjin's body.

"What is wrong?" He asked.

"What's wrong? My assistant just saw me with a man on a couch in my office," Bai Renxiang said.

"Are you shy or embarrassed or ashamed?" Li Fengjin became amused.

"All of them if possible. How am I going to face her now? She is going to tease me about it and think that I am shameless. First, it was mum and now it is my assistant."

"You are so adorable right now. Do you know that?"

"..."

Li Fengjin went to stand before her and encircled her small waist with his arms. "We will be getting married soon and you are still embarrassed by the public display of affection?"

"I am not embarrassed. I am just–"

"Then you like it?" He interrupted her.

"No–"

"No... I mean yes. Maybe, I–"

Smack

His lips pressed down against hers in a passionate kiss.
