CHAPTER 204

Bai Renxiang got to the restaurant an hour later and like the last time, she was directed to a private booth where Li Fengjin was waiting for her.

“Good afternoon Mr Li,” she greeted as soon as she entered the room to see him seated legs crossed.

“Good afternoon. Please sit down,” he offered her a seat after they shook hands.

“Thank you very much.”

After the formalities, they got down to work. Making plans and peaching their own since dead and putting it into consideration. Li Fengjin was impressed by her thinking capability.

He felt replied proudly to himself for falling for a woman like her. She was serious and focused and creative bringing into the project different benefiting ideas. He could not help but agree on every idea she brought while modifying it a little.

Bai Renxiang also was enjoying working with such an intelligent and highly skilled person. She felt like she was learning so much from him. It is no wonder he is tagged the undefeatable king of the business world.

As they worked, Li Fengjin thought it wise to have the waiter bring two glasses of chilled apple juice for them. It is good to keep the body and mind refreshed while working.

During the work, they had to seat close to each other as they went through a document. Their shoulders would brush each other or their hands would touch. Each time something Luke that would happen, it was as if a surge of electric current passed through every fibre in their body. Li Fengjin acted nonchalant about it to prevent Bai Renxiang’s embarrassment.

But Bai Renxiang could not hide it no matter how much she tried. She would always stop breathing or her breath would hitch. She had never experienced anything like it before.

They carried on till it was six in the evening. They have at least done a great deal so far. The Borg of them were happy at their work. Li Fengjin ordered food for them to fill their stomachs before they says their goodbyes.

Bai Renxiang was against it at first but her stomach growled in protest. She lowered her head in embarrassment as she cursed silently. Li Fengjin chuckled seeing her actions.

“Don’t worry Ms Bai, I will not tell anyone what happened. It will be our little secret,” Li Fengjin said to Bai Renxiang’s dismay.

He was not helping matters at all. Soon their food was served and they dug in. Li Fengjin did not like his awkwardly silent room was. He wanted her to be free and not be so guarded around him. So he decided to chat.

“How has work been lately? Are you getting the hang of managing a big company?” He asked with a friendly and harmless smile. Bai Renxiang froze for a second and then averted her gaze from his electrifying ones.

“Ahem! I am getting a grip on things. But to be honest, it is still tasking for me,” she answered.

“I must say that I am impressed with how well you have been able to keep up till now. For a fair lady, you are really strong and hard-working,” he spoke the truth.

“Thank you for your praises. I admire you too,” she blushed a bit from his praises and her words.

“I can’t believe that the CEO of Jiang’s Corporation is a fan,” he joked.

“It is not a crime to be, is it?” She laughed a little.

“No, not all. I am deeply honoured to be admired by a strong person like yourself.”

“Well then, the pleasure is all mine to be acknowledged by you, oh great CEO,” she also teased. Li Fengjin laughed. She had begun to loosen up around him and be free. Even if it was just a little, it is still progress.

“Ah! You have something there,” he pointed her face.

“Where? What is it?” She touched around her face as she looked at him trying to figure out the place he pointed.

“Hold still let me help you,” he said.

Li Fengjin drew close to her. Bai Renxiang held her breath as soon as he closed the distance between them. Li Fengjin carefully sbd slowly removed the stew stain on her lower lip and licked the stew off his finger before using a napkin to dab at the spot.

Bai Renxiang’s eyes grew large when he licked the stew. They remained like that looking at each other- Li Fengjin leaning close while she remained stunned. After a while, Li Fengjin came back to his senses and withdrew from her before he did something he should not. At least not yet though.

“I’m sorry if I frightened you. The stain was on your lips and you were not getting it so thought to help,” he explained.

Bai Renxiang was not the least bothered about his apology. Her mind still replayed the scene of him licking the finger he used to remove the stain. Immediately her lips flushed. She blinked the image off to focus on the present situation, which is his apology. She saw that he had clear intentions just now so she did not get offended.

“T-Thank you,” she managed to get those two words out of her lips. Li Fengjin smoked feeling relieved that she did not take it to heart.

After their dinner, Li Fengjin escorted her to her car with the excuse of the unsafe environment and he did not want anything to happen to her when she was with him. Bai Renxiang appreciated it and got into the car. She dipped her head in a bit and he did the same before the car sped off into the road.

All through the drive, Bai Renxiang kept on thinking of what happened. Her hand had unconsciously found its way to her lip where his finger slightly grazed.

‘Stop thinking so much about it Bai Renxiang. He was just helping you, that’s all,’ she chided herself and looked out the window. She sighed.. She had to compose herself. They would be meeting frequently now and she did not want to keep remembering today’s incident
