CHAPTER 374
"Xiaozhi, your food cannot be measured in any number of points. This is great," Ye Chaoxiang praised her cooking.
"I am glad you like it. I was worried you did not have anything to eat through the day," she said as she played with Ye Chaoxiang's hair at the back of his head.
"You are as thoughtful as always."
"Ah! Darling, are you not going to share with your friend?"
Ye Chaoxiang's hand holding the spoon of rice paused. His eyes trailed to doctor Liang.
"Ah! Do not mind me. I am okay with the food I got from the cafeteria. Eat well, doctor Ye," doctor Liang declined politely.
How can he eat the food that Ye Chaoxiang's girlfriend, especially for him? He would not dare. Also, he could see that Ye Chaoxiang was quite possessive of his girlfriend's food.
"Are you sure? I made a lot you know."
"Darling, doctor Liang said he is fine with the cafeteria food," Ye Chaoxiang repeated with a slight puffed-up cheek.
Doctor Liang could swear that the doctor Ye Chaoxiang before him looked like a kid whose candy was about to be given to another kid. He chuckled and shook his head.
"I hear you. Eat up," Ning Xiaozhi smiled at her boyfriend.
After the meal at the cafeteria whereby Ye Chaoxiang and Ning Xiaozhi fed everyone who was there with dog food, they left for his cabin.
"Are you done with work here?" Ning Xiaozhi asked.
"Yeah. Doctor Liang and I just wanted to grab something to eat before we left. We were given a day off," Ye Chaoxiang explained.
"Yay! We can go driving, eat ice cream and binge-watch Netflix for the rest of the day."
"We can do that and then have some spicy time in between," Ye Chaoxiang winked at her.

At Jiang Corporation.
Bai Renxiang was reading through some files to get her mind off certain issues of the past. Her scandal.
She did not know who to suspect. But there was an inkling at the back of her mind saying it was all framed and her stepmother and stepsister were behind it.
The fact that that same stepsister wanted to use her as a tool for fame proved more of her suspicions. Just as she was pondering about the whole thing, her phone rang.
"Hello, Bai Renxiang speaking. Who is this?" She asked.
"Good afternoon, young miss. It is me, Haitao," the caller answered.
He was the one helping her to unravel the things behind her scandal from three years ago.
"Oh. What do you have for me?" Bai Renxiang went straight to the point.
"It turns out that everything was planned out, young miss. I have got some evidence of bank transfers, video clips of meetings, how your drink was spiked on the day the deal was to be sealed," Haitao said.
"Go on. Who was behind all of it? Was my guess correct, Haitao?" Bai Renxiang asked again.
"Yes, young miss. Your guess was very correct. It was a wan named Lin Ying, that planned it all. Your stepmother," Haitao replied.
"Sigh. I knew it. Those two never liked the fact that I was still in the mansion," Bai Renxiang murmured.
"Did you say something, young miss? I did not quite catch your words," Haitao asked. He had heard her say something but her words were not clear.
"No, no. It is nothing, Haitao. Nothing to worry yourself about. Send all those details you said you had found. I want to see how they planned everything," Bai Renxiang ordered.
"Yes, young miss."
"Also, uhm... Find out what my stepsister, Bai Ming. I want to know how her acting career is now," she said.
"Ah! About that, young miss. There is something that I think you should know."
"What is it?"
"It is about this stepsister, Bai Ming."
"What about her?"
"She is no longer in the field of entertainment. She has quit her career as an actress," Haitao broke the news to her.
Bai Renxiang's brief raised and a small smile made its way to her lips, "Oh! How long has she been out of the entertainment industry and what is she doing now?"
"Since three years ago. She went back to school to get a degree in business management and also one in fashion design. She is currently working in Bai Jewelries as a top designer. She is also trying to convince the board to make her the next CEO after Mr Bai Guiten steps down from the position," Haitao gave a brief summary of what Bai Ming has been to in the company since she got in.
"Oh! Are the board members being convinced? Are they willing to make her the next CEO?" She asked.
"Not all of them, young miss. But she has succeeded in winning over the hearts of fifteen of the board members. The remaining ten are proofing to be a tough one for her," Haitao said.
"I see," Bai Renxiang nodded her head slowly. Her mind was calculating.
"That is not all, young miss," Haitao interrupted whatever thoughts she may be having.
"There is still more keep it coming then."
"Young miss, your stepsister, Bai Ming has been in a strong relationship with a man."
"Who is he?" Bai Renxiang's curiosity was piqued.
She did not expect her veil stepsister to be capable of falling in love with someone. Bai Renxiang did not even expect any guy to fall for her with that bad attitude of hers. But she was wrong.
"He is the only son and child of the Feng household. His name is Feng Yisheng."
"Feng Yisheng. That name... I am not familiar with it. But his background must be good enough for her to agree to date him, right?"
"Yes, young miss. The Feng family's wealth surpasses that of the Bai family. Their company is currently top ten in the country."
"Of course. Lin Ying would never allow her daughter to mingle with people of lower status."
