Redeeming The Golden Ticket To Life - Chapter 33: To Hu Qiang's Surprise!!

[POV Hu Qiang]

For the last few weeks or better to say for the past month, I didn’t get to spend much time with Bai Chang. Though, Xiao Wei got to spend most of his time together with her (taking advantage of his age and cuteness) while I was kept at bay by Bai Chang.

I got to see her but from a distance.

I witnessed various faces of Bai Chang during this time.

I saw her wearing work overalls and fixing heavy machinery, at her basement. I saw her trying to be a friend to Xiao Wei. I saw her gradually becoming his mentor.

I witnessed her transformation from a shy girl to an active person.

I hate myself that it seems I can’t keep her tied by my side. She joined the company.

While Donna and Master Shi share her workload, I still saw her moving from one department to another to help finalise the event to its very last details.

I saw her meeting the tailors and overseeing the final outlook of the dresses.

Conducting interviews for the models that would walk the ‘Runway’ in person. I also saw her grow from a designer to a department manager.

In between all this transformation, I looked after her health like a good husband, which I am.

My mother was furious and threatened me that I could forget being her son if anything happens to Bai Chang.

Every day she would send fresh home-cooked meals for her.

And I made sure that she at least had her meals on time.

The entire month just flew by us. Each walking our own path. Though I know that she won’t tell me the reason for ‘Feling’s meet’ I can’t sit and do nothing about it. I trust Bai Chang’s instinct. She has always been right about dangers, even way before her accident when she was ‘autistic’.

I have decided, after the fashion show I would take Bai Chang on a weekend holiday trip. It would prevent her from falling ill due to over-exhaustion.

In a blink of an eye, it’s the D-day.

Last night I had social gatherings that went on way into the late night. Mostly it was the gatherings of other sponsors and partners. Each trying to up other by one step, to build future connections and business opportunities over a few glasses of fine wine and luxurious dines. Each moving around trying to hug a bigger thigh.

While being the biggest thigh in the room doesn’t help either.

Though not necessary maintaining polite conversations with these business colleges help, as they say, there are no eternal enemies or friends in the field of business when it involves everyone’s personal interest.

Today is a big day. Not because it is our launch of new clothing line for this season but because it is going to be Bai Chang’s first public appearance.

The event has been planned in such a way that, before the ‘Runway’ there would be an official get-together of ‘Giants’ of the corporate world. Then followed by the ‘Runway’. After that, a press conference would ensue. Finally, to mark a successful end to the show, an ‘after-party’ is arranged. This would serve as Bai Chang’s first interaction with the public as well as the corporate society.

Xiao Wei would not be accompanying us. This made the boy very sullen.

I made myself at home in Bai Chang’s Villa. We decided that we would leave for the event together from Bai Chang’s place.

As I walk out of the bathroom, with just a towel hanging around my waist, someone rushed into my room.

It’s Bai Chang.

I see her eyes wandering all over my body, sizing me up, a look of appreciation and sometimes slightly clouded by desire. What seemed ridiculous is that as she looked at me boldly, she also blushed furiously.

“Like what you see?”

“Definitely a profitable piece of meat, I won’t lose out in the deal,” she mumbled.

I am once again surprised by her response. It seems to be happening very frequently, lately.

I walked towards her while closing the last distance between us.

“How about you inspect the good first hand?”

She huffed and puffed as I cage her within my arms.

“You baddie…”

She complained but didn’t back down. Instead, she looked me in the eyes and held them arrested to her charms, her hands exploring my bare upper-body.

It felt like a rush of electricity.

Her hands kept moving upwards.

Our breathing hitched.

Suddenly she pulled on my neck, my face getting closer to her.

And then she bit me on my neck leaving a glaring hickey, which announces her claim on me.

I am taken by surprise.

I find her very satisfied with her handy work.

“Now everyone would know that you are taken. You are my exclusive property ‘baddie wolf’. In the event later behave appropriately. Okay.”

My brain just experienced a mini-meltdown. As I try to reel myself she started speaking,

“Consider this your brownie point reward. For cooperating with me throughout the last couple of weeks. I appreciate your patience. Here, I have a surprise for you.”

She pushed two clothes cover towards me.

“Your outfit, for the event. I matched it with mine.”

After making sure that I am holding the package, she turned on her heels and dashed towards the doors.

Even till this point, I am rooted to the same spot, reliving the moment between us. There’s a bright smile on my face as I start to unfold my gift from ‘my wife’.
