Chapter 621 Excitement: Not As Happy

CHAPTER 621

Lisa called a few minutes back. So it was only natural for Bai Renxiang to want him to go early.

The same way she has Li Xiaojin waiting for her to be him, it is the same way Lisa is waiting for him to be home.

"I will tell them inside that you sent your regards," Bai Renxiang added.

"Alright," Wang Tingxiao nodded and watch her get out of the car and shut the door.

Before she could take several steps away, he called her.

"Hey, Renxiang."

"Yes," Bai Renxiang turned to him.

"Just so you know, we are all here to support you with whatever you may need. And I want you to still believe that Fengjin will come back. He will never abandon you and Xiaojin," Wang Tingxiao said.

"I know," Bai Renxiang nodded with a small smile.

"That is good to know. Have a good night. And please stay home. There is nothing much to be done tomorrow and I can shift all important meetings and handle the ones I can handle."

"Thank you, Tingxiao. Tell Lisa I said hi and have a good night too. And a safe drive back home," she waved.

"Thank you. Bye," he waved back before driving out of the Li compound.

Bai Renxiang heaved out a heavy sigh before she turned on her heels. She sighed again as her eyes took in the mansion before her.

Then she walked inside. The moment she walked in through the door, her little bundle of joy came rushing toward her with his little legs and cheerful laughter.

She squats down to his level and takes him into her arms in a warm hug. Her eyes drop close and she felt all her worries washing away leaving nothing but love.

"Mummy, I missed you. But are you okay? Grandma and pa told me that you went to the hospital because you felt sick," Li Xiaojin asked as he broke away from the hug to stare at her face.

"Yes, baby. Mummy went to the hospital. But you do not have to worry because mummy is time now. She was just tired from working. That's all, baby," she assured him while caressing his black hair.

"Are you sure? Mummy can't be sick or else I will be sad," Li Xiaojin really wanted her not to be sick.

Whenever she gets such, he hardly gets hugs and kisses. And it is all because she does not want him to contract the sickness.

"I'm not sick, my love. In fact, I have great great news for you," Bai Renxiang said with a smile and tapped lightly on his little nose.

"I love great news. What is it, mummy?" Li Xiaojin asked.

"Renxiang honey, you are back," Mrs Li called her out.

"Yes, momma. I just came home," Bai Renxiang stood up after allowing Li Xiaojin to take her purse from her.

Together the three went into the living room where Mr Li sat listening to the news.

"Good evening, dad," Bai Renxiang greeted.

"Ah, my dear. How is health? What did the doctor say, hmm?" Me Li asked as he hugged her.

"I am fine. It's just stress and me not eating well," Bai Renxiang told them.

"You see. I told you to try to eat well, honey," Mrs Li sighed.

"I know, momma. I am definitely going to listen to you because I have a good reason to," Bai Renxiang smiled brightly.

"Oh, you seem so happy about this reason. What is it? Tell momma," Mrs Li probed.

"You have to sit down for this one," Bai Renxiang gently pushed her down to sit beside Mr Li.

She went to her course and took out a white envelope. Then she came to stand before them like an employee ready for a presentation.

"Momma, dad, baby," she called each of the three sitting down there.

"At passed out not only because of stress from work but also something else or someone else. My body could not keep up with the two," Bai Renxiang paused while gauging their expression.

They were anxious, in a good way. She smiled.

"So, I want you all to be aware, that in nine no eight months' time, there will be an additional member of our family," she dropped the last five words with excitement in her voice.

"Oh my... Do you mean to say that you are pregnant? Like a month in already?" Mrs Li jumped from the couch.

"Yes, momma. I am," Bai Renxiang nodded.

"Then I am going to be a big brother?" Li Xiaojin asked. His eyes sparkled.

"Yes, my love. You are going to be a big brother," Bai Renxiang nodded.

"Yay!" He jumped with glee.

"Yes. Oh, thank you, Lord. Yes. This is literally the best news of the year," Mrs Li pulled Bai Renxiang in for a hug.

"Congratulations, dear," Mr Li asko hugged her.

"Thank you, dad."

"Whatever you need, you should tell me, okay? I will be taking care of you," Mrs Li said.

"I got it, momma," Bai Renxiang nodded.

"Ah, I am so excited. I going to be a grandma again and this time I will be witnessing the whole process and all that stuff. Oh my God, Zhe. We need to start buying things for the baby," she clapped.

"We need a crib and gender-neutral colour clothing. Oh and Renxiang we need to start shopping for maternity clothes and..."

"Hahaha. Darling relax. It is still early for all that," Mr Li laughed and rubbed her back for her to calm down.

He was familiar with this situation and her actions. It was the same as when they finally got pregnant with Li Fengjin.

It had been two years after their marriage so you can imagine the joy they both felt. Especially Mrs Li. She made them begin to prepare for his coming almost immediately.

"I can't help it, Zhe. I can't contain the excitement. We should celebrate," Mrs Li rushed off to the time cellar to get them wine to celebrate. She asked for a glass of juice for Li Xiaojin as well.

"Don't mind her," Mr Li whispered to Bai Renxiang.

She chuckled. "No worries, dad. I understand. I am excited as well."

"Hmm."

"Here everyone. Let's make a toast to the future baby of the Li household,"ra Li came in with a tray of three wine-filled glass cups and one for Li Xiaojin's juice.

They all picked a glass and lifted it.

"To the coming new Li and to us all," Mrs Li said.

"Cheers," they gently joined their glasses together and drank from the glass.

Bai Renxiang took little sips before setting it down on the centre table.

"I am going to freshen up and then call my mum and grandpa to tell them the good news," she said.

"Sure sure, honey. When you are done, you should come down from dinner. I'm glad I asked the cook to make your favourites today," Mrs Li said after giving an approving nod.

"Thanks, momma. I will be back soon."

With that, she rushed upstairs to her bedroom. Li Xiaojin went to play games. Mrs Li sighed and hugged Mr Li.

"What's wrong, darling?" Mr Li asked.

"She is not happy. She is but not as much as she wants to be. Not with Fengjin gone," Mrs Li sighed.

There was sadness in her voice.

"I know, dear. But this is where we should come in. To support her and make her still have up. And put all we have got into finding him and getting him back as soon as possible," said Mr Li.

"Hmm. Let me go and check if dinner is almost done," Mrs Li pecked his cheek before walking to the kitchen.

Mr Li sighed. He was seriously wondering where his son had run off to. He did not want to believe that he ran away from all his responsibility and love.

"Where are you, son? You have people waiting for you. Especially your wife needs you," he whispered to himself.

"Grandpa, will you play car racing with me?" Li Xiaojun asked.

"Oh, sure, my boy. Whoever wins gets chocolate bars," Mr Li set up a price.

"Sweet. I am going to win."

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Bai Renxiang let out a shaky breath as she walked to the king-size bed and sat down. She raised her head and fanned herself with her hands.

"Okay, Renxiang. You've got this. Don't cry. Don't cry. This is not the time to be moody. It's bad for the baby. Come in, girl," she chanted to herself.

She had been holding back from crying since they left the hospital.

She hoped that she and Li Fengjin will be the first to hear that she is pregnant. She wanted them to break out the news to everyone together.

But it turns out that it was not possible. She felt so sad tears came flowing. She could not help it.

"Will this be another pregnancy without him?"
