Chapter 431 Call From Lisa

CHAPTER 431

As soon as those two words fell out of Bai Renxiang's lips, the car came to a screeching halt and Ning Xiaozhi immediately stepped on the brakes.

Thank God for the fact they were all lurking in their seat belts or else they would have been wincing in pain by now. Before any of them could utter a word of complaint at Ning Xiaozhi or of surprise at what Bai Renxiang just told them, Ning Xiaozhi beat them to it.

"A BODY WHAT NOW?" Ning Xiaozhi shouted.

"This was why I did not want to tell you guys anything," Bai Renxiang sighed.

"What? Why would you not tell us anything? This is huge, baby girl," Ning Xiaozhi exclaimed.

"Uhm Xiaozhi, I think we should move. We are being a roadblock," Bei Suzy said.

"Shoot! I forgot," Ning Xiaozhi quickly stepped on the gas pedal and drove off.

"So... How was the body massage?" Yi Changying asked while wiggling her brows.

"I'm not going any further than that. It is embarrassing enough that I told you he gave me a body massage," Bai Renxiang turned her blushing face to the window.

The girls burst into sweet laughter seeing their winter bride being all shy. Cute. The rest of the journey to the spa was filled with different tales of their boyfriend and themselves.

It was really girls' gossip.

Their time at the spa was no less fun. Bai Renxiang was having a great time. It was a first-time experience for her and she loved it.

Now, this was what she called living her youth.

After the spa, they went for manicures and pedicures before they hit a hair salon. Then, they went to watch a romance genre movie together. Finally, they stopped to get enough snacks for their road trip.

"Have you guys been on a road trip before? Like... Not actually a road trip but just drive around the city?" Ning Xiaozhi asked.

"Yes, I have," answered Yi Changying.

"Me too. I used to do that a lot with my late parents," Bei Suzy smiled.

"Oh... I am so sorry," Ning Xiaozhi apologised.

"It's okay. No need to apologise. I've learnt to accept it with Shaoming's help."

"Ah! That Shaoming of yours is a sweetheart," Yi Changying commented.

"Hehehe. He is," Bei Suzy chuckled.

"So, winter bride have you gone on a timeless long drive?" Yi Changying asked.

"I have not been to one since I was a kid. Just except that one time I tagged along with Xiaozhi on her motorbike," Bai Renxiang replied.

"You have a motorbike?" Bei Suzy and Yi Changying asked at once.

There was this awe and admiration in their eyes. Ning Xiaozhi chuckled seeing their expression.

"Yes, I do have a motorbike."

"It is as expected from a rebellious heiress of the Ning Empire," Bai Renxiang winked at them.

"So cool. Can you take us on a ride one day? It's one of my dreams to ride one someday," Bei Suzy asked.

"Sure, darling."

"Ah! I am so excited," Bei Suzy squealed.

"So, let's get down on this drive shall we?" Yi Changying asked.

"Yeah!"

By the time they got to a quiet road, Ning Xiaozhi pressed a button in the car and its roof parted open. Yi Changying then passed them matching black glasses for the vibes of the drive.

"Oh. My. God! I had no idea that this Mazda was a convertible," Bai Renxiang exclaimed.

"Well, it is a Mazda MX-5 Miata after all," Ning Xiaozhi smiled and winked at her through the rearview mirror.

"This is going to be my best road trip drive ever!" Yi Changying shouted.

"Woo-hoo!!"

They kept on chatting, squealing, taking pictures for the memories and not to forget switching drivers. It was one heck of a ride as they enjoyed their snacks and sang along to the music playing on the stereo.

"This is the life," Bai Renxiang shouted with careless abandon.

She stood up with her arms spread wide apart as she let the breeze collide against her skin. Her hair moved recklessly around her. What amount of fun could measure to this?

This experience. This outing with your people who do not look down on you but care for you... This togetherness helped increase their bonding as friends. They got to know more about one another better.

This is the real definition of a girl's time out.

~In Wang Tingxiao's apartment~

Wang Tingxiao had been swamped with work during the week so this weekend, he planned to relax at home while eating and watching a movie since there was no work for him to do today.

He was busy enjoying himself with a glass of freshly made juice and spicy hot noodles when his phone rang. He saw the caller ID and his normally stoic face bloomed with a sweet smile.

His dearest girlfriend, Lisa was calling. Sigh... He felt loved and blessed.

"Hello, Li. How are–"

"Tingxiao, help," Lisa's scared and teary voice fell on his ears.

Wang Tingxiao's smile dropped in an instant. Something is wrong with his Lisa and she is crying and feeling scared.

"Lisa! What's wrong? Talk to me. Why are you crying?" He asked.

"Tingxiao, pl-please come here... He is... He is here again... Dong Yang... He is making trouble with your men outside the apartment.," Lisa stuttered in fear as more tears fell from her eyes.

"Lisa, calm down," Wang Tingxiao said as he stood up from the kitchen stool.

"I'm scared, Tingxiao. There are... there are gunshots. Please come back."

Her weeping was uncontrollable. She literally was trembling where she was squatting in the kitchen. Her fear for this Dong Yang knew no bounds. It was traumatising.

"Listen to me, Li. You have to calm down and stay inside the house. Don't come out. Go to the inner secret room and stay there. Don't come out, okay?" He instructed.

"O-okay."

"Wait for me. Please, don't leave that room. I won't let him touch you so wait for me inside that room. Go there now."
