Playboy CEO Has a Baby

Chapter 84 - Advise

"How was your exams? Was it tough?" Bai Renxiang asked softly. She pulled off her flats she wore during her work in the restaurant. Strolling towards a couch, she slumped on it.

Bai Xiaojin hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring her a glass of warm milk. Bai Renxiang's heart warmed as she received the milk. Her son is very considerate.

"Thank you my love," she said.

Bai Xiaojin smiled brightly at his mother. After Bai Renxiang had gulped down the whole content of milk I'm the glass cup, he raised his hands indicating that he wanted to be carried so he could sit on her lap. Of course, Bai Renxiang obliged. 

"So, how was your exams?"

"It was fine and not tough because nothing is tough for your baby," Bai Xiaojin said shamelessly.

"Oh really now? Then I am glad it was not tough. What did you do after you came back from school? I hope you did not give grandma and your uncles a hard time," Bai Renxiang chuckled at her son's shamelessness.

"No, I did not," he shook his head a little.

" Uncle Shin helped me with my bath and grandma prepared stirred fried tofu and rice. Then after eating, I helped grandma in the store for a little while before uncle Shin helped me study for tomorrow's exam," Bai Xiaojin, just like how his mother does, while listing his activities for the day, counted them on his little fingers.

"My love is now a responsible boy. I am proud of you."

After Bai Renxiang had freshened up, Jiang Meilin called her out for dinner. They ate together and then went to bed.

In the middle of the night, the sky was aglow with bright city lights. The pale crescent moon shine like a silvery claw in the night sky.

Bai Renxiang stood at the balcony if their flat, as she looked up at the blanket of stars that stretched through the never ending sky.

She enjoyed the silence that prevailed unlike the usual occasional barking of far away dogs that broke the silence of those other nights.

The night breeze blowing against her skin under the thin fabric of her spaghy strap singlet and pajama pants. It is a perfect time to think as she could not get a wink of sleep.

Bai Renxiang's mind kept on replaying the scene in Yi Minsheng's car. 

'Is he really in love with me? What does he even see in me? Forget about that now, Renxiang. The feeling is not mutual. You and him can only be friends,' Bai Renxiang thought to herself.

Deep down somewhere on her heart, she still hoped to love and be loved. But she feared experiencing another wrenching heartbreak.

What if she let her heart to love and that person turns out to be another Fu Bolin or her father? He just cast her away and call her degrading names because of some stupid news in which she had been framed just the way Fu Bolin did.

Or he would chase her out of his life, call her a disgrace and says he he regrets getting into a relationship with her like the way her father did.

No. She can't take or give any chances. She has beared enough. She will raise her son and help her family with all her being and hardwork. She will try everything in her power to ensure her son does not crave fatherly love.

Bai Renxiang will be a father and husband to her son and mother and if possible, a wife for her grandfather and other things for other loved ones she has.

While she was deep in her thoughts, she did not notice the presence of the person behind her.

"Can't sleep?" 

Bai Renxiang turned around immediately to see who was there. She breathed out a sigh of relief as her right hand moved to pay her chest, in an attempt to calm her racing heart.

"Mum you scared the crap out of me," she said.

"I am sorry dear. I came out of my room to get a glass of water and decided to check up on you and little Jin but I did not see you there. That was what lead me hear," Jiang Meilin said as she moved to stand beside her daughter.

"The night is rather peaceful today. What got you so deep in thoughts that you did not notice or heard me when I first called?" She inquired curiously.

She came looking for the girl and when she saw her standing at the balcony, Jiang Meilin first called out to her but she did not respond, causing her to go to Bai Renxiang.

"It is nothing much. Just about how things has been going these days," Bai Renxiang lied.

"Things are going smoothly. But that is not a really good excuse. You should try to come up with something more convincing," Jiang Meilin said as she stated at the moon fixed in the starry night sky.

"I really can't hide anything from you, can I?" Bai Renxiang chuckled and shook her head lightly.

"I am glad we are on the same page,vdeae. Now out with it," Jiang Meilin smiled at her.

"Nothing of great importance though. It is just that aunt Yi's son, Yi Minsheng, told me about how he felt towards me today," Bai Renxiang let out her thoughts.

"Really? That shy boy finally gots some guts to tell you about his feelings?" Jiang Meilin asked in surprise, raising her voice.

"Ssh mum. People are still sleeping," Bai Renxiang said.

"I am sorry. I am just so surprised. So what did you tell him? Do you also like him? I mean he is a good kid and has a great head over his shoulders," Jiang Meilin rambled as she heard the news.

"I know he is mum. But the thing is...I do not habour the same feeling as his," Bai Renxiang said in a low voice.

"You still have not gotten over what happened in the past, have you?" Jiang Meilin sighed.
