CHAPTER 189

“I am sorry for the delay,” Bai Renxiang sincerely apologized.

“It is alright Ms Bai. We understand,” Wang Tingxiao said.

“I truly am sorry. I know you waited for a long time for me to arrive.”

“Do not sweat it Ms Bai. We accept your apology and we did not wait that long though,” Li Fengjin said. ‘I have waited three long years for you. I would not mind waiting a few minutes mute for you. As far as I can finally get to be with you, then I am okay,’ he said within himself.

“Thank you for your understanding. She pressed a button on her desk and spoke.

” Tell Assistant Xia Xinyi to come to the office as soon as possible.”

“Yes boss.”

“I hope my assistant attended to you well,” she said.

“Ah! Yes she did. She makes a very good host,” Wang Tingxiao answered.

“Very well then,” she niddes her head. Just then, a knock resounded in the office.

“Come in.”

“Good morning boss. You sent for me,” Xia Xinyi said immediately she closed the door behind her.

“Yes I did. Call grandpa and tell him-”

Ring! Ring!

“Not again,” she murmured.

“Uhm boss. Chairman Jiang is calling,” Xia Xinyi said and passed the phone to Bai Renxiang.

“Please excuse me,” she said to Li Fengjin and Wang Tingxiao before picking the call and placing it beside her ear.

“Hello grandpa.”

“Hello my dear. How are you doing?”

“I am doing well, thanks for asking. Why did you call, grandpa?” She asked as she tapped her fingers lightly on the desk.

“Where did you go this morning?” Old man Jiang asked.

“I went to the hospital this morning. There is nothing about me that can ever escape your ears huh?”

“Nothing my dear. I just wanted to know you if your mother told you not to tell me, that’s all. So his is she? What did the doctor say?”

“Nothing much though. Just to get maximum rest and eats lots of fruits and vegetables,” she replied.

“Thank God she is okay. Why can’t she just quit the grocery store?” He asked in frustration.

“That can never happen grandpa and you know it.”

“Hmm. I know. Then I will send some people over to help her at the store. I do not want her stressing herself.”

“That would be nice. I just wanted to tell my assistant to inform you about that,” she smiled.

“When it comes to family, I always know what to do without being told to,” old man Jiang boasted.

“Jmm. Alright I need to go. Our new business partner is here,” she said.

“Oh why did you not say so then? Gud will hang up now. Send my regards to them.”

“Hmm. Bye,” she ended the call and passed the phone back to Xia Xinyi. “The chairman sends his greetings to you Mr Li and Mr Wang.”

“Greetings to him too.”

“If you do not mind me asking, are you perhaps unwell, Ms Bai?” Li Fengjin asked in concern. He did not hear the person on the other end of the line but from what he heard and what Ye Chaoxiang had told him, he thought she was I’ll. Bai Renxiang saw and heard his genuine concern. She felt touched by it.

“I am fine, Mr Li. It is my mother that is. Well… not that she is ill. I just took her to the hospital for a check up. Thank you for showing concern Mr Li,” she said.

“Oh I see,” he nodded his head.

“Yes. So, shall we begin the purpose of this meeting?” She asked as she moved to where they sat.

“Yes, we shall.”

Later in the afternoon, on a quiet road not frequently used by motorists, a blue Nissan Z car was parked along the road syde with its bonnet opened. In front of the car, a muscularly built tall blonde dude buried himself in the engine.

“God damn it,” he curses as he raked his fair hands through his hair in frustration. He has been standing shirtless under the sun for hours trying to figure out what was wrong with is car. But he had emerged clueless after much inspection.

“Come baby girl. Work for daddy okay? I promise to take you for an upgrade later,” he spoke to the car- a habit he gained in The States.

He checked again and went to start the cat but it still did not work. He got out of the car and slammed the door hard.

“Bloody hell. My phone is dead down. Why does today have to be so cursed?” He groaned and found a spot to seat as the raised bonnet served as a shade protecting him from the scorching sun. He was dripping in sweat and it irritated him.

Then an idea popped into his head. He remembered that he had two bottles of water in his carcabd a towel. Making do with them, he managed to wash off the stickiness he felt from all the sweat without wetting his black denim trouser. Just as he was wiping his hair dry, he heard a sweet feminine voice call out to him.

“Brother Kai?!”

Yang Wenkai turned to see who had the guts o call him as I’d they were to close. Tgn his deadly cold green eyes met with her brown ones. In an instantvit turned soft with a little hint of confusion in them

“Yumi?!” He called back. Ye Yumi smiled after being assured that the person she was seeing is someone she knows. She walked closer to him.

“Ye Yumi what are you doing here?” Yang Wenkai asked as he dropped the towel on his shoulder.

“I could ask you the same. What are you doing here looking all hot and… stranded,” she said the last part as her gaze wondered on his car.

“Ahem. Well I… my car refused to move. It took me a while to get it out if the road to this spot,” he explained.

“So, do you mind telling me what you are doing here?” He asked as he picked up the green T-shirt he brought out from his small travel bag and wore it.

“I just went out for a long drive. You know… to just relax and take my mind off work even if it is just for a few hours or one day in fact,” she shrugged as she responded nonchalantly.

“Oh. Well I am just returning from a business meeting in City Y and this happened,” he said pointing at his car.

“No movement and worse by battery died,” he added as he waved his blank phone in front of himself.

“Bummer. I can definitely relate to that feeling. So frustrating. Since his long have you been stocked here exactly?” She asked as she tilted her head a little bit to her left.

Picking his watch from the driver’s seat of the car, he quickly calculated the time he had spent there, trying yo get his car on the road and running again.

“Uhm… I think four to five hours I’d I am not mistaken,” he said.

“What?! Four to five hours? That is way longer than I expected,” Ye Yumi shouted.

“Wait. This is just two o’clock in the afternoon. That means you have been here since nine?” She asked.

“Yeah… Kind off,” he said as he scratched the back of his head.

“Sigh. Since you are out of battery and mine has not, I better call someone to come and pick your car up for repair,” she suggested and took her phone out of the back pocket of her white jeans.

“Yeah good idea. But… before that, can you lend me your phone to call my mum? I do not want her to get worried,” he said.

“Sure sure. You worry about your mother so much that I beginning to wonder if you are mummy’s boy and not Yang Chen instead,” she teased him.

“Hehehe. It is not like that. I told her I will be back since twelve and this is two hours past. She will definitely worry and stress out which I do not want and if Xiaochen finds out, he would probably get mad at me for making her worry,” he explained with a simple smile.

“Alright. I understand. Here make the call,” she passed the phone to him.

“Thank you,” he said and failed his mother’s number. After just a single ring the call got connected.

“Hello Yumi,” Mrs Yang’s worried voice fell into his ears.

“Hello mum. It’s me Kai,” he said.

“Oh my God. Xiaokai, are you okay? Why have you not been picking my calls?” Did anything happen to you? Where are you? I coming yo get you right now,” she bombarded him with questions, not even allowing him yo utter a single sound not to even talk of a word.

Yang Wenkai chuckled hearing his worries she was. “Relax mum. Nothing happened to me. I am currently with Ye Yumi.”

“Oh! Okay then.. Take your time.”
