CHAPTER 174
The dripping of water could be heard from the bathroom. Ye Chaoxiang was standing under shower head having his bath. He placed his left hands on the white wall and used his right to sweep the strands of hair falling on his face.
His mind kept on replaying the scenes of tonight’s date with Ning Xiaozhi. He smiled when the scene of Ning Xiaozhi flashed the his eyes like a picture.
Then he thought of what happened when he dropped Ning Xiaozhi off at her house. Her actions and her reaction was unexpected and cute.
**Flashback**
“I really enjoyed myself tonight and it is all thanks to you, Chaoxiang,” Ning Xiaozhi said and stood in front of Ye Chaoxiang with her back close to the door of her apartment
“Yeah me too and you are welcome. I am also glad to know that you liked it.”
“Hmm.”
Then an awkward silence ensued between them. Ye Chaoxiang let out a long sigh as it was already time for him to leave. How he wished he could be with her longer. He enjoys her company and Ning Xiaozhi felt the same.
“I guess this is good bye for today then,” he said.
“Yeah it is. Thank you once again,” she appreciated.
“Hmm. You should go in first,” he suggested.
“Okay. Have a safe ride back to your house,” she said and he nodded.
Ning Xiaozhi unlocked her door and pushed it open, taking a step in, she stopped and turned to back to see that Ye Chaoxiang was still standing there. She rushed to him, stood on her ties as he was taller than her and a placed a quick peck on his cheek.
Ye Chaoxiang became dazed at her action. He felt electric current surge through his whole being when her soft lips came in contact with his cheek. Meanwhile, Ning Xiaozhi was as red as a tomato after what she did. She bit her lips in slight embarrassment and looked to see him staring stunned at her.
“Good… good night Chaoxiang,” she said with a light smile before rushing into her house without look back and shut the door behind her.
She closed her eyes and let out a nervous breath as she leaned her back on the door with both hands behind her- holding the door knob. Ye Chaoxiang was still standing outside in a dazed expression. His hand rested on the spot her lips pecked him.
“Good night Xiaozhi,” he muttered unconsciously still staring at her door. After getting himself together, he smiled and then chuckled when he remembered her flushed face. Taking one last look at the door, he jogged back to his car and merrily drove himself to his place.
**Flashback Ends**
Ye Chaoxiang chuckled and turned of the shower before stepping out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He walked into the mini walk in closet in his bedroom to get a pijamas pants and a shirt to wear
Cleaning his body dry, he wore them and climbed into his bed to get some rest. But after a few minutes, no matter how hard he tried and the numerous positions and turning he adjusted to on his s bed, he could not get a wink of sleep because all he would see when he closed his eyes was Ning Xiaozhi’s smiling face.
Ye Chaoxiang sighed and turned out his bedside table to pick up his phone. He searched for the pictures of Ning Xiaozhi that he secretly took. He stared at her pictures until he fell asleep looking with his phone in his hand.

The next day came. Bai Renxiang came to the office to see that she had a lot to do today. There was a great stack of files on her work desk, waiting for her attention and two meetings to attend. She got down to work without wasting time. Reading through the files of various projects and business deals, giving her approval to some and appending her signature. It continued even after lunch period.
Then her assistant, Xia Xinyi knocked and came in with another fresh stack of files for the day. Bai Renxiang groaned in tiredness as she dropped her navy blue coloured fountain pen and leaned back into the chair she was sitting on. She did not even bother to hide her frustration from her assistant making Xia Xinyi to chuckle lightly.
“Boss seems really tired,” she said and dropped the stack on an empty space on Bai Renxiang’s desk.
“Of course I am tired. You of all people should know that because you are the one bringing work into my office,” Bai Renxiang pouted with folded arms.
“Yes, I know. But these are what I received from various departments and I have to pass them to you for your endorsement,” Xia Xinyi explained.
“Yeah whatever you say,” Bai Renxiang rolled her eyes and adjusted herself on the chair shifting close to the desk. She picked up her pen and continued with the tile she was looking at when Xia Xinyi entered her office and told Assistant Xia Xinyi a seat in the chair opposite hers.
“How is the deal coming with that fashion company?” She asked as she kept the file she was working on at one side if the desk and picked up another one.
“Which fashion company boss? Is it Star Jewelries or QT Fashion World?” Xia Xinyi asked to know which report she would give.
“The both of them,” Bai Renxiang answered.
“Oh okay. Uhm Star Jewelries’ vice president requested a meeting with you to finalize the deal. While QT Fashion World is having a fashion show by the end of this week and they are requesting that we put some of our designs in their show,” Xia Xinyi informed her.
“What is percentage profit will Jiang’s Corporation get for putting some of designs in QT’s fashion show?” Bai Renxiang asked.
“Well, the CEO said that he is willing to split the profit equally with us.”
