CHAPTER 341
As soon as Li Fengjin and Bai Xiaojin entered the house, Ye Chaoxiang\'s voice was heard.
"Here comes the father and the son."
Everyone turned to look at the father and son duo. They all smiled at the pair.
"What\'s up, guys? Where are my mothers?" Li Fengjin asked as he did not see the two elderly women in the living room.
"They are having a mother to mother bond time," Bai Renxiang said.
"Well, that is nice. Then what are you guys talking about?"
"Nothing much. I and Suzy were about to leave but we wanted to inform you first," Wen Shaoming said.
"You leaving already?" Li Fengjin asked.
"Yes. Well, we still have some things to do. We are that we could not stay longer," Bei Suzy apologized.
"It is okay. Please let me see you guys off," Bai Renxiang said.
"You do not have to. We can-"
"I insist," Bai Renxiang cut Wen Shaoming off. She did not leave any further room for refusal as she turned to the others.
"I will be back in a few minutes. Please excuse me."
"Sure."
"It was an honour to dine with you all. I mean it," Wen Shaoming said.
"Me too. I had quite a nice time. Thank you for inviting us," Bei Suzy added.
"No need to be formal or so humble. We are friends now. Have a safe trip home," Li Fengjin said.
"Bye uncle Shaoming. Bye aunt Suzy," Bai Xiaojin waved at them.
"Bye. Bye, everyone."
With that said, the three of them left the house. Ye Chaoxiang smiled and said, "Bai Renxiang\'s friends were not totally comfortable with us."
"I noticed too. Even at the hospital back then. That was why I did not insist they stayed longer at least for Renxiang\'s sake," Li Fengjin agreed.
"Why did you guys feel that way? I think they were comfortable. They laughed, talked and behaved freely," Nong Xiaozhi said.
"They did but not like the way we all are when we are all together. I mean I get this feeling fr them. Like they feel inferior," Yang Chen reasoned out.
"You could say that. Wen Shaoming\'s last words give it all out," Li Fengjin did.
"Sigh. You can\'t blame them. They are good friends with their boss\' fianceé. Also, you guys are from known influential families in the whole of China. Also, their good friend is a descendant of a wealthy family. You can\'t expect them to feel a hundred per cent comfort with us," Yi Changying said.
"True. But they are really nice people," Bai Renxiang said as she walked into the living and sat back beside Li Fengjin.
"They are," Yang Chen nodded.
"I am going to meet grandma," Bai Xiaojin slid down from Li Fengjin\'s lap and before anyone could fact, he was gone.
"He was fast," Ye Chaoxiang commented.
"Yeah. He is bored of adult talks," Bai Renxiang said.
"Damn. I said we would talk when we came back inside," Li Fengjin sighed.
"Relax. He probably going to get a lot of attention from his grandparents. He will come back to disturb you after everyone has left," Bai Renxiang patted Li Fengjin\'s shoulders.
"Are you sure?" Ye Chaoxiang asked.
"Very sure."
"Alright. So, apart from their leaving, what else did I miss out on?" Li Fengjin asked.
"Oh, yes. We were just thinking of an outing we could all go together," Yang Chen answered.
"An outing? Who brought this idea?" Li Fengjin asked.
"Well, I brought it up," Ning Xiaozhi raised her hand. "It turns out that your fianceé has never been to the beach since high school."
"Can you imagine that, Fengjin?" Ye Chaoxiang asked.
"My love, is that true?" Li Fengjin turned to ask Bai Renxiang who was glaring at her best friend.
"Why must you bring that up again? I told you guys not to tell him," she pouted.
"Why should they not? So they get to know something as important as this about you and I do not?" Li Fengjin asked with raised brows.
"It is not like that. Stop being dramatic."
"Oh! I being dramatic. Seriously? Not even that why the hell have you not gone to a beach in your whole life?"
"Not in my whole life. I just stopped going in high school."
"What is the difference?" He asked.
"There is a difference. I went to a beach plenty of times when I was a kid," Bai Renxiang argued.
"Well, as for me and probably people, life starts in high school. Like, that is when most fun stuff, sad moments, heartbreaks, bullying or getting bullied and other things really happen. Grade school are just child\'s play," Li Fengjin listed.
"That is true. I did some pretty bad stuff when I was a high schooler," Ning Xiaozhi said.
"Us too. That was the beginning of life," Yang Chen said.
"Well... I- I did not just feel like going. Besides I had to study," Bai Renxiang defended herself.
"Wow! You took your studies pretty much serious for a high schooler," Ye Chaoxiang said.
"I wanted to... Sigh. Nevermind. But I did plan to go to a beach here in City S. Xiaozhi can testify to that," she changed the direction of the subject.
Everyone turned to Ning Xiaozhi as if asking if Bai Renxiang was saying the truth.
"Yeah. We did plan to go out. I remember you said you wanted to enjoy your youth and stuff like that," Ning Xiaozhi truthfully testified.
"You see," Bai Renxiang smiled triumphantly.
"But we never did anything. Our plans and wishes never came to pass. There was no enjoyment of youth," Ning Xiaozhi burst her bubbles.
"We did not?" We did... Right?" Bai Renxiang herself was not sure.
"No, we did not. It was either work or Xiaojin. Work or Xiaojin. I till Xiaojin wanted yo go to the park and gaming plaza and other children places."
"Fine then. I am guilty," Bai Renxiang said with a defeated sigh.
"It is decided. Next weekend, we are going to the beach," Li Fengjin declared.
"Yay!"
Just like that, the night came and the celebration was over. They all had so much fun together and finally, it was time to go to their various homes.
"Happy engaged life yo you guys," Ye Chaoxiang shook and higher Li Fengjin.
Yang Chen did the same and the girls also hugged Bai Renxiang.
"Thanks, guys. Drive safely," Li Fengjin said.
"Good night."
It was time for Jiang Meilin to leave. She had had a very long and fun discussion with Mrs Li. They bonded well. Jiang Meilin was happy deep down in her heart that her daughter would be okay if she were to marry into this family.
They were all nice people. As soon as they stepped out of the garden to the living room, Bai Xiaojin came rushing to Jiang Meilin and he hugged her legs tightly.
Bai Xiaojin wanted Jiang Meilin to stay but the latter refused.
"Grandma stay with us today, okay?" Bai Xiaojin pleaded with puppy eyes and the cutest pout he could summon on his lips.
"Baby, I can\'t," Jiang Meilin sweetly refused.
"But I want you to stay. I miss you," Bai Xiaojin said with a sad voice.
"Ok, my baby. We have been together for a very very long time now. Why don\'t you stay with your grandma Li today? Will you not give her a chance to know you better? Also, your daddy too," Jiang Meilin tried to reason with him.
Bai Xiaojin looked at Mrs Li and saw that dye had a curious and excited look on her face. He looked at Li Fengjin and remembered that they had not played or talked much since this morning.
Then he looked back at Jiang Meilin. With a hesitant sigh, he agreed.
"Okay. Oh! Tell uncle Shin and uncle Shane that I miss them too and I said good night," he said.
"Alright. Be a good boy. Good night. Muah."
"Good night grandma."
"Meilin, let me ask my driver to take you home," Mrs Li offered.
"Thank you. Have a good night, son-in-law. Take good care of my Renxiang," Jiang Meilin said.
"I will, mum. Have a safe trip back home," Li Fengjin nodded.
"Mum, please call me when you get home, okay?" Bai Renxiang said as she hugged her mother.
"Of course, I will. Also, take care of your soon to be husband and mother-in-law. Do not let all my teachings be in vain," Jiang Meilin whispered to Bai Renxiang.
"M-Mum!" Bai Renxiang\'s eyes widened as she blushed.
"Good night, dear," Jiang Meilin patter her hands before turning to leave with Mrs Li.
"Sigh. What a day," Bai Renxiang sighed.
"Did you enjoy yourself? Are you tired?" Li Fengjin asked.
"I did enjoy myself. Every single bit of today\'s celebration. But I must admit that I am tired. I think I need a warm bath and some spicy noodles," Bai Renxiang said as she massaged her right shoulder.
"Apart from those, I think you also need a massage. What happened to your shoulders?"
"I slept on one side for so long. Sigh. I should take a bath first and then... Can you help me to massage my shoulder?" Bai Renxiang asked with expectant eyes.
"Yeah, sure. I can. Go get a bath first. I and Xiaojin will do the same,"
"Okay. Thanks."
"Come on, little prince, you royal bath awaits," Li Fengjin and Bai Xiaojin followed Bai Renxiang.
As they planned after the bath, Li Fengjin gave Bai Renxiang a shoulder massage and made noodles for everyone.
