CHAPTER 180
Ning Xiaozhi told Bai Renxiang about all her encounters with Ye Chaoxiang. Bai Renxiang was surprised when she discovered that Ye Chaoxiang, the doctor who treated her mother is the hot guy her best friend has been daydreaming and fantasizing about. She was even more surprised and shocked when Ning Xiaozhi said she pecked Ye Chaoxiang on his cheeks.
"Gasp oh my God, Ning Xiaozhi. You are very bold?" Bai Renxiang gasped at her friend's boldness.
"I sure was hold enough to do such a thing but at the end, I was so embarrassed and red that I ran inside the house before he could say anything," Ning Xiaozhi said.
"Of course you would be embarrassed. I wonder his reaction was like," Bai Renxiang said and laughed.
"Oh I saw his reaction. He was so surprised. His eyes went wide and he just stood there in a dazed state."
"Pff... Hahaha," both Bai Renxiang and Ning Xiaozhi chuckled.
"Sigh. I am so happy for you. You finally have a boy you fancy amongst all your past flings," Bai Renxiang said.
"Yeah. But I do not know if he fancies me too, you know. It would be like a dream come true if I will be in a relationship with him," Ning Xiaozhi agreed with Bai Renxiang's words.
Indeed she has had flings but none of them could compare to Ye Chaoxiang. His has the looks and the height. He is also kind of romantic and charming and yet, he does not seem to be trying to be like that. He is so natural at everything he does.
But unlike him, the guys she has dated all wanted one thing. Her body. They were also cheaters and were not as caring and observant of her like Ye Chaoxiang. So, of course she will fancy him more than her flings.
"Who knows? Maybe he also has a kind of feeling for you. Have you tested it yourself? Or have you observed him when you guys were together?" Bai Renxiang asked.
"Hmm... Now that you have mentioned it, I remember when he applied an ointment on my face," Ning Xiaozhi tried remember what she saw in Ye Chaoxiang's eyes when they were so close to each other.
"His eyes had so many emotions then. But I remember him staring at face intently. Especially my lips. That moment was nerve wrecking but in a sweet way," Ning Xiaozhi said with a dreamy smile on her face. Bai Renxiang could only shake her head at her friend.
"His might like you too. But do not just rush into relationships like that Ning Xiaozhi. You might come out with a heart break afterwards," Bai Renxiang said remembering how Fu Bolin ended their relationship in the cruelest way ever.
He even dared to call her names when he was supposed o believe her since he claimed to know what she can do and not do. Yet he promised to always support her by being by her side whenever she faced any difficulty. But that was just an empty promise.
"I know rushing into a relationship is not always promising but if I do not try why I still can, what if I loose the one person that is meant to be for me. The one person that will truly love me for my heart and soul and not my body?" Bai Renxiang just remained silent as she looked at her friend.
"So no matter how many break ups I have, I am willing to pick up myself and move on to someone better. And I have got a gut feeling that this guy us the one for me, although it seems all too sudden to love someone I have not spent so much time with."
"I admire your courage to open your heart and set it free to love again. Sigh I wish I was like my best friend, Ning Xiaozhi in aspects of love," Bai Renxiang said softly.
"Oh come on. I know you are thinking of that jerk that broke your heart back in that cruel place, City X," Ning Xiaozhi said in an annoyed voice. Bai Renxiang just shookvher head and let out a dry laugh.
"Do you still love that dude, Bai Renxiang?" Ning Xiaozhi asked uncertainly.
"Of course not. Why would you even ask me that stupid question?" Bai Renxiang retorted.
"What? You can not blame me, can you?"
"Not really. But I so over him. Besides he mght be married by now and I have my cute baby boy to shower all my love and care on," Bai Renxiang said in an assuring tune.
"Alright. I believe in you and your words. But do you think it is high time to give my little boyfriend a daddy? You also need someone to shower all their love and care on you," Ning Xiaozhi asked what she has been asking for so long now.
"I already have you, my mum and grandpa, Shin and Shane and most of all Bai Xiaojin to do that," Bai Renxiang said innocently.
"Stop feigning ignorance at what I really mean. You need a man other than your brothers and grandpa to care for and 'love' you," she said emphasizing the love and telling Bai Renxiang that it is not just family type of love but the love between couples.
"Sigh. I do not know Ning Xiaozhi. Besides even if I decide to love again, who would want to date a mum?" Bai Renxiang said.
"Yi Minsgeng dies not care if you are a mum or not," Ning Xiaozhi answered her question a d then shrugged her shoulders when Bai Renxiang looked at her in disbelief.
"Yi Minsheng is just my friend. No other relationship than that can exist between us and he knows as I told him that myself when he told me about his feelings," Bai Renxiang said.
"Sigh. What will I do with you Bai Renxiang?" Ning Xiaozhi asked and shook her head.
"I know what you should do. Love me like you always have and never keep me in dark about the things going on in your life," Bai Renxiang said and gave Ning Xiaozhi a bear hug. Ning Xiaozhi laughed lightly seeing Bai Renxiang acting like a kid.
"Okay enough with all the hugs. You are just trying to snatch my attention unto something else," Ning Xiaozhi said and the two broke off the hug.
"I can't wait to see the guy that will finally be able to break down the protective walls around your heart and pump in his love," Ning Xiaozhi murmured.
"Hey, I heard that Xiaozhi."
"I did not intend to hide what I said from you. Seriously, I can't wait at all."
"You are going to wait for a very long time. So you better learn to exercise patience."
"As if. You knowbir might only take a few heart felt and sincere words, your time together and BAM.... You will fall and drown in the sea of love with the right guy. Trust me babe. It will be so quick that you will not even realize it," Ning Xiaozhi said.
"I will let nature take its course then," Bai Renxiang said and took her purse and walked towards the door with Ning Xiaozhi following behind.
"I will be heading back to work now. Take care of yourself. Bye Xiaozhi."
"Take care of yourself too. Send my regards to aunt and your brothers and my little boyfriend," Ning Xiaozhi waved at Bai Renxiang.
"I hear you. Bye," Bai Renxiang waves bsvk before entering the waiting car parked beside Ning Xiaozhi's apartment and then it zoomed off.
"Sigh. I hope a guy that will take care of Bai Xiaojin and is more caring and loving and supportive than that jerk of an ex-boyfriend comes into your life and mend your broken heart and nourish it with love," Ning Xiaozhi asked hisoered to her self as she watch Bai Renxiang's car disappear from her sight.

Meanwhile, Li Fengjin was wearing a cold face as he sat at the head of a rectangular table in a dark room. The only sound and light in the room is the one from huge projector screen and the nervous man explaining what is projected. After the man was done, the room brightened an overbearing silence engulfed the room.
Everyone could feel sweat drops sliding down their backs and cold seeping into their bones.
Since the presentation started, their CEO had not uttered a word and that it is over, he still did not say anything. Instead his face remained expressionless and cold.
They could not discern if they did a good job or not. The members of the executive and few of the financial team all trailed their eyes to their big boss' assistant. Feeling their pitiful gaze on him, Wang Tingxiao could only sigh and looked at Li Fengjin.
"Boss. The presentation is over. What do you think about the idea?" He asked.
Li Fengjin tapped away on the arm rest of his black leather chair as he swept his cold gaze over all the employees present in the room. Then his lips parted and three words flew out.
"Not good enough."
The employees could only close their eyes as the words hit them like a whip. They thought their idea on this new project would please their big boss like the one the presented on the morning. But it turns out that it did not go well not to even talk of pleasing the boss.
Li Fengjin stated all the faults in their idea for the business deal. Their colleague that did the presentation stammered a lot due to nervousness and none of them could answer Li Fengjin's questions. They were really doomed. After scolding them all, Li Fengjin sent them all out.
"Go back and redo it. We meet back here in fifteen minutes. Dismiss."
