CHAPTER 544
"As your man, it is my sole responsibility to protect you," Li Fengjin said as he took her hand and kissed the back of her palm with their eyes locked.
"Even if it means I have to do it with my life, I will. Because you are my everything and life would have no meaning to it without you at the middle."
"Don't say that. You are also my everything and my life. If you go, then just know that I'm coming with you," Bai Renxiang warned him and then pouted her lips with puffed out cheeks.
Li Fengjin pecked her lips and chuckled. "You looked like those cute a chipmunk just now," he commented will slightly pinching her cheek.
"Well as far as you still stay with me I can be whatever animal you call me," Bai Renxiang said with a nonchalant shrug of her shoulders.
"My wifey is getting cheesier everyday. You learn so fast," Li Fengjin smiled. He was happy her mood was getting better and her attention was slowly drifting away from the kidnapping stuff.
"I guess is it inevitable since the most cheesy person on earth is who I fell in love with and got married to."
"Don't forget to add that you also have a child for him," Li Fengjin added and it made Bai Renxiang burst into laughter.
"You are too much," she said between her laughter.
Sliding his hand on her waist down to her butt, Li Fengjin whispered to her. "But you can handle me just the way I love it."
"Nah-huh!" Bai Renxiang took his naughty hand off her butt back to her waist. "You can't start getting naughty on me now. I am already exhausted and it is getting way past sleep time."
"Tsk. You just had to ruin the flow," he sighed.
"Had to when it was flowing toward an energy sapping direction," she made her point.
"You should be happy that your husband has a great stamina on bed and can satisfy you," Li Fengjin reasoned out.
"Oh trust me. I am way more than happy. But we have work tomorrow. So... Not tonight, handsome. Much," Bai Renxiang said before she smacked a kiss on his lips.
"Good night, love," she added while adjusting into a more comfortable position in his arms.
Li Fengjin shook his head. "Good night, my love. Sleep tight."
That was how the night ended for the couple. The morning was yet to come and so were other days. It also told of the time passing by for Bai Renxiang to act and also a warning to those she is coming for.
~The next day, morning~
Being a week day, Bai Renxiang got up early to prepare. She had a quick shower and dressed up before she went downstairs. On getting to the kitchen, she met the maids of the house already cooking.
"Good morning," she greeted with a smile.
The three maids in the kitchen immediately stopped what they were doing and looked toward the source of the voice.
"Ah! Good morning young madam," they treated in unison and bowed.
"Is there anything I can help out with?" Bai Renxiang asked as she began to pick up an apron hanging by a corner.
Just as she was about to put it on, one of the maids quickly stopped her. She seemed to be the oldest amongst them.
"Oh no, young madam. There is nothing you can do here. Please allow us to do everything here."
Bai Renxiang cocked one of her brows at the last. 'Why does it feel like she is saying that because she thinks I can't be reliable in the kitchen?' She thought.
"Don't worry. I know my way in the kitchen so I won't burn down the mansion, if that's what you are scared of," Bai Renxiang said out loud.
The maid lowered her head and that Aline was enough to tell Bai Renxiang that her thoughts were exactly what the woman had in mind. She sighed and shook her head.
She could not blame them anyway.
"I'm sorry young madam. It's just that... Well..." The maid had no words to say. Or she did but she could not at it out loud.
"You think that I'm a spoiled heiress who is waited upon her every need."
"Oh no, young madam. I never saw you as such. Pardon me," the maid quickly corrected.
Bai Renxiang then chuckled. "Relax. I was just pulling your legs."
The maids all sighed in relief. They had thought that they would be in trouble if their young master gets a wind of this. But knowing that she was joking, they felt at ease but not completely.
"Since you guys have taken care of things here, I'll just go and take care of Xiaojin," said.
"Yes, young madam." They nodded.
With that being said, Bai Renxiang left the kitchen and went back upsatirs. But instead of going to she and Li Fengjin's room, she stopped into Li Xiaojin's room.
It was sort as big as the room she and Li Fengjin slept in. The floor had soft carpet that made it feel as if one was walking on clouds. There was a small bookshelf with children books beside the reading nook close to the window-at the left side of the bed.
There were some soft pillows and a nicely folded blanket in a knitted style in the reading nook. another area had his toy collection neatly arranged.
There was also a big closet by the wall on the far right side of the bed.
There in the middle of the bed lay her little baby sleeping soundly. His hands and legs were wide apart and it seemed as if he had kicked off the blanket in his sleep.
Bai Renxiang chuckled. "Thank God I am with my phone," she said as her hands dipped into her office pants pocket and brough out her phone.
She took a picture of the sleeping Li Xiaojin and saved it in her special file. After doing that, she slowly walked toward the bed. She say carefully and gently removed his hair that were all over his forehead.
Watching him sleep was like watching Li Fengjin sleep. They looked so much alike. Come to think of it, he took more of Li Fengjin's genes than hers.
It made her jealous to some extent. It was not fair that she was the one who carried him for nine months, going through emotional chaos and cravings, only for him to turn out like his father who did nothing but plant his seed.
Bai Renxiang shook her head and push the naughty thoughts that were about to evade her thoughts to the back of her mind.
"My love," she whispered near his ear. "Baby, wakey wakey."
"Nnh," Li Xiaojin steered in his sleep before his eyes tonally opened. He stared straight the ceiling for q few seconds before fore he yawned and stretched.
"Hehehe," Bai Renxiang chuckled.
It was then Li Xiaojin realised he was not quite. Or rather he was woken up by someone who is none other than his mother.
"Mummy," he rolled into her laps. "Good morning, mummy. How was your night? Did u sleep well?"
"Good morning, my love. My night was fine and yes, I slept very well," Bai Renxiang answered.
"What about daddy?"
"He is probably still asleep. Come on now. Let's get you ready for school," she stood up from the bed after letting him roll off her to the ground.
"Mummy, I want to get prepared with daddy. Can I?" Li Xiaojin blinked cutely at her.
Bai Renxiang smiled and nodded. Of course she would agree. Anything to make the father and son grow the best bond.
Li Xiaojin jumped in joy before dashing out of his room on his little feet. Bai Renxiang shouted for him to be careful but he was far too gone to hear her.
"Oh well, it saves me the time to get more prepared for work."
Picking out his uniform and other necessities for school, she left the room. She went to the study and began working on a few files Xia Xinyi had sent to her through email.
In due time, the family of three set out to leave. They dropped Li Xiaojin off in school and after making sure be was okay, they left. Their drive to their company was quiet yet comforting.
Li Fengjin drove with a hand on the steering wheel and the other was holding Bai Renxiang's hands. Every once in a while he would place a kiss at the back of her palm and sigh.
"Jin, are you okay?" Bai Renxiang had to ask.
"Yeah. I just miss you already," he said and sighed.
"Hehehe. We've not even parted yet and you already miss me?" When he nodded. She smiled. "I'll call you when I'm free, okay?"
"Hmm. I will too."
Li Fengjin drove her off first before he left. And just like her first day at the HQ in City S, the heads in charge were all waiting to welcome her.
