Chapter 561 Message

CHAPTER 561

Breakfast went by as usual- filled with laughter and love. Mr and Mrs Li even saw them out along till the door.

While Li Xiaojin walked in the front playing with his hands spread wide, Bai Renxiang had her right hand in Li Fengjin's left hand. They made eye contact and giggled softly.

That was just it with them. They did not need words all the time to make each other happy. A single look is enough to relay their thoughts, emotions and everything else.

It was a wonderful bond they cherished so well. It was incredible.

Just then, Bai Renxiang's phone dinged- implying the arrival of a new notification. Bai Renxiang did not want to let go of the warmth she felt from Li Fengjin. So she used her free hand to get the phone out of her sling purse.

Unlocking the phonw with her fingerprint, she went staright to the icon indicating her messages on the homescreen. There were lots of unread messages.

She made a mental note to go through them on her free time. She easily identified the new one as it was at the very top. It was from an unknown number.

She was skeptical at first but she tapped on it anyways and the content of the message came into view. What if it was a person she knew tgat used another number to send the message?

With that thought in mund, she read the words inwardly. In the next moment, her countenance changed. Her brows drew close and her face made out a slight frown.

Her eyes kept on reading till she was done. Shw lifted her head from her phone and let her eyes scan through the surrounding. Then it settled back in her phone.

She shook her head and quickly masked a way her expression.

"What's the problem, my love?" Li Fengjin asked.

He had by chance caught the changes she had on her face. Not only that, the way she masked her expression was a hint. He was not that dumb to not be able to put two and two together.

He knew that the cause of her little actions had to do with whatever was sent to her phone.

Bai Renxiang turned her phone off and shook her head. "It's nothing," she lied with a convincing smile.

If only she knew that that smile and those words did not assure him but clear his doubts. He had already seen it all. Li Fengjin came to an halt as his right leg was beside his left.

He turned fully to her, tilted his head a bit and squinted his eyes. "Of all things I know of my wife as, a lair is not one of them," he stated.

Li Fengjin held his hand out and spoke, "Phone."

"H-Huh?" Bai Renxiang let out.

"My love, give me your phone," he said again, much clearer this time. She would not say she dis not hear him.

Bai Renxiang kept her hand away from him. She held the phone tightly behind her.

"My love let me see what message you read on your phone. Please," he added.

"It's really nothing, Jin. You don't have to worry about it," she still insisted on not showing him.

Li Fengjin sighed and looked behind her. Li Xiaojin had already gotten to the car and was talking with the driver, Yimo. An idea came into his mind.

"What in the world is our little Jin doing?" He voiced out with his eyes growing wide in shock.

Bai Renxiang being a concerned mother let her protective nature towards her child, take over as usual. She instantly followed Li Fengjin's line of sight with not only her eyes but her body as well.

And there she was. Her back and her guards toward him was let down. Li Fengjin quickly took hold of the opportunity and snatched her phone.

"What did he- ah!" Her words got cut off as she felt her ohone swiftly leaving het hand.

Bai Renxiang quickly turned back to the culprit as she had realized what just happened. She fell fir his trap. Li Fengjin tricked her.

"Why you... Give me back my phone," she attempted to snatched her phone from his hand but the latter was faster.

He lifted the phone above his head knowing she wouod not be able to reach. Her height was a disadvantage. He then opened the phone with his fingerprint.

A triumphant smile smeared his face. This was one of the times Li Fengjin appreaciated their agreement on having free access to each other's phone. But for Bai Renxiang, it was the worst idea... For now though.

She groaned and grumbled and jumped. But she could still not get the phone from him. It was of no use even with her heels as an addition to her height.

"Give... Me... My... Phone," she said each words with every jump she made.

It was a funny and cute sight so Li Fengjin laughed. But for just a short while. He did not want her to get mad at him for mocking her height.

At her next attempt to jump, Li Fengjin pecked her lips before her feet landed on the ground. He then held her waist to ensure she does not trip due to her shock.

"Give it up, my love. Just let me see the message," he said.

Bai Renxiang pouted and shook her head. "It is really nothing, Jin. Don't worry."

"For not wanting me to worry only proves that there IS something," Li Fengjin pointed out.

"But–"

"Or are you seeing some other man behind my back?" He asked with his eyes squinting at her.

"What? Of course not. Why would I do that? It would not even cross my mind to cheat on my hubby," Bai Renxiang retorted with a scrunched face showing her displeasure.

Li Fengjin felt proud he could not hold in a smile. The way she said the 'my hubby' showed her thought of owning him. He loved that.

But he quickly wiped it off and talked in a serious tone.

"Then let me just see that message. If it's nothing to worry about, let me see it, okay?"

Bai Renxiang sighed and nodded. "Fine. You can read it but don't make a fuss, promise?"

"I will have to see the message to be able to decide that."

With that said, he unlocked phone one more and read the message. He was taking time. It made her nervous because the message she read was short.

Not only that, his expression had gone from soft and smiling to ice cold and dead serious. Bai Renxiang could not help but bite down hard on her lower lip.

"Jin," she called out to him but there was no response.

"Hubby! Fengjin!" She called while yanking the sleeve of his tan coat.

"Who sent this?" Li Fengjin asked as soon as he got himself back.

He was boiling with rage inside. He was so mad that one could liken him with a volcano ready to erupt. But he tried his best to not show it so as not to scare his darling wife.

"I-I don't know. It's an unknown number," she answered.

Li Fengjin gave a slight nod and looked back to the phone.

'You had better stop whatever plan you have to cause a disturbance in the balance of their lives. If not, you would not know how, where and what hit you. Beware and thread carefully, Bai Renxiang or something bad wouod happen to you or your family.'

That was what the message read. It sounded threatening. But that was not what bothered Li Fengjin. It was audacity of the sender.

The effrontery the person had to threatening the wife of Li Fengjin. How dare he or she? The nerve. And then the fact that his beloved refused to show him.

"Why would you tell me not to make a fuss over this? Don't you know what this means?" Li Fengjin questioned as his jaw worked and tightened.

He was trying very hard not to lash out at her right now. He knew she had a good reason but it could not just help the feeling he feels.

"I know what it means and I–"

"Then why would you hide such a thing from me, Renxiang? Don't you care for your life? It is obvious you would be in danger the moment you leave the estate premises."

Li Fengjin's voice came out in a whisper but Bai Renxiang could hear the volume behind it. It showed. She sees it and hears it in his face and his voice.

Even with the way his grip around her waist tightened a bit.

"I care for my life and I know all that. But I'm not scared because I'm safe. You ensure my safety and the rest of the family and even our friends," Bai Renxiang spoke the truth.

He had enough power to do that. He wasn't Li Fengjin for nothing.
