CHAPTER 213- Lovely Sight
"It... the little master is not here... Little master Bai Xiaojin is not in the car? He is missing. I can't find him... I am so sorry miss Bai... Please forgive me..."
Driver Jum's words were all that occupied Bai Renxiang's mind as she hurried her steps to the room Li Fengjin was. Tears had gathered in her eyes while fear had enveloped her heart and mind, clouding her thinking.
Just as she reached the big black and gold door, held the doorknob and with a twist she pushed it open, not caring about the person at the side of the door.
BANG
"..."
Li Fengjin who was trying to calm the crying kid in his arms immediately set his gaze on the intruder who is bold enough to disturb and scare Bai Xiaojin even further.
But to his relief and surprise, it was none other than the woman the little boy in his arms kept wailing about. It was Bai Renxiang.
On close inspection, he could see that her eyes were red and her breathing was fast and laboured. He also noticed that she was trying to find her terms and she was trembling a bit.
'Was she attacked or missing as Bai Xiaojin had said? If so, that means she had managed to escape from her attackers or-"
"Mummy!"
"Xiaojin!"
The loud voices of the mother and son duo brought Li Fengjin out of his thoughts. Before he could register what was happening, Bai Xiaojin had left his embrace and ran to his mother.
The tears that Bai Renxiang was hiking in broke out like a dam.
"My love," she called in an almost whisper.
Bai Renxiang also rushed to meet her son whose legs were rather too short to quickly cover the distance between them. It felt like she would have to wait for ages before he got to her.
When they got close enough, Bai Xiaojin could not wait as he jumped into his mother's waiting arms and sobbed. Bai Renxiang was on her knees while she held him. The both of them cried, forgetting about the other person in the room.
"Mummy! Wuu!! Why did you take long to come back? Little Jin was scared. I thought you did not want me anymore. Wuuuu! wuuu! I also thought some bad people took you away," Bai Xiaojin cried out all his feral and he buried bus head in her bosom.
"Oh, my dear. I am sorry for not coming early. I would never leave you, okay? So do not cry anymore. My.my is here now, right? I will not leave again," she assured him as she pattern his head.
Meanwhile, Li Fengjin could not hide his smile. Who would have thought that he would get to see such a display of affection? He was glad the got to be the witness of such a lovely sight.
After a while of crying and assurance and whatnot, Bai Renxiang stood up with Bai Xiaojin in her arms. She did not think it was appropriate to cry in front of a business partner. She quietly walked to where he stood.
Li Fengjin snapped out of his trance and quickly took out his handkerchief. He stretched it towards her but since her, both hands were occupied with Bai Xiaojin who refused to let go, he helped wipe her tears.
He was gentle in his movement and they were quite close. A faint blush crept up her cheeks.
"Your legs will hurt if you keep standing and carrying him. You knelt for a long time after all," he said.
"Hmm," Bai Renxiang nodded her head. Li Fengjin held out a chair for her to sit on.
"Hey, kid. Are you done crying?" Li Fengjin teased.
"I am not a kid," Bai Xiaojin pouted and glared at him.
*chuckle*
"According to what I know, any child who hugs his mother and cries is a kid. A baby in fact," he said.
"Say whatever you want. I m not letting my mummy go." Bai Xiaojin hugged Bai Renxiang even tighter.
Bai Renxiang and Li Fengjin laughed at his acts. He was cute.
"Ah! My bad manners. Ahem! Mr Li, this is my son, Bai Xiaojin. Jin, this is my business partner, Mr Li. Say hello," she introduced them.
"Hello big man," Li Fengjin brought his hands forward for a shake. Bai Xiaojin did not hesitate to receive his hands and it shocked Bai Renxiang for a while.
She thought he would shy away from him. But then again, why would he? When she came barging in, she saw him hugging Li Fengjin.
'Gasp. Do they know each other?' Her question received an immediate as if Bai Xiaojin could read her mind.
"Mummy, this is my friend. Uhm... Mr Li. He is the one that gave me that toy car at school that day you came to pick me up."
GAGHAN
Her eyes grew wide. Although, she had expected it but hearing him say it out kid still stunned her. Li Fengjin just watched get expression with amusement dancing in his eyes. He wanted to laugh but he decided to keep a normal smiling face.
"Mummy?!"
"Hello! Earth to Ms Bai," Li Fengjin said as he wanted his hand on the front of her face.
"Huh! Yeah. What were you saying?" She snapped out of her daze
"I said Mr Li is my friend. He gave me that awesome toy car. I already know him... except his name," Bai Xiaojin repeated what he said.
"Oh! I see. The two of have met already, huh?"
"Yes, we have," the two of them said in unison. They exchanged glances and laughed. Bai Renxiang was enchanted by their smile.
Then something hit her. It was their resemblance. Their eyes, face and smile were the same. But she shook that thought off
Many people looked the same in China. It does not mean that they are all related, right?
'Relax, Bai Renxiang. He can not be that man from the hotel. He can not be Bai Xiaojin's father. So keep your cool,' she chanted in her head.
"Okay. Thank you for the gift, Mr Li," Bai Renxiang said after a long pause.
"You are welcome. But there is no need to be so grateful, Ms Bai," Li Fengjin said.
"Mummy, can we call uncle Jun? I tan out of the car when he went to get me an ice cream cone. He must be searching for me by now," Bai Xiaojin said. He felt guilty for running away like that. He would have at least told him that he wanted to go and find Bai Renxiang instead of just running off like that. Poor driver Jun. He would have been scared shitless.
"Oh, that is right. He called and told me about it. That was why I rushed here. He sounded pitiful and scared. Sit here and key me call him," she said as she placed Bai Xiaojin on the free seat beside her.
After three rings, the call got connected.
"He-Hello, young miss?!" His voice rang out from the phone. He sound more panicked than when he first called her. She sighed in guilt.
"Are you okay, Jun?" She asked.
"How can I be okay, young miss? I have still not found little master Bai Xiaojin. I have searched and asked everyone around. No one has seen him. I am currently inside the hotel. If I do not find the little master and something bad happens to him, elder master Jiang would have my head for it," driver Jun rambled. He was really scared.
"Relax, Jun. Stop panicking already. My grandpa would not do anything to you. I give you my word," she said.
"What? Why would you say something like that to me? How can I stop panicking? Young miss, do you hate me so? How can you be so calm and sure that elder master Jiang and even your mother, madam Jiang would not do anything to me?" He asked in disbelief. He pulled his phone away from his ear to see if it was really his young miss that was on the phone talking to him.
Bai Xiaojin was laughing silently. The phone was on is he could hear how panicked the driver was. But that was not what made him laugh. It was because of his words of fear and questioning if his mother really hates him. It was funny for him.
Sigh. What a naughty boy.
"I am calm and sure because I have found him."
