CHAPTER 422
At the end of the preschool graduation, Mr and Mrs Li left early to meet up with Old man Jiang and Jiang Meilin. Since the kids wanted to eat, they decided to go to a restaurant and use that as an opportunity to celebrate.
On their to the parking lot, their paths happened to cross, Mrs An and An Daiyu.
"Oh, Mrs An. How are you?" Bai Renxiang greeted.
"I am fine thank you."
"Honey this is Mrs An I told you about. The one Xiaojin wants to bake our wedding cake," Bai Renxiang told Li Fengjin.
"It is a pleasure meeting you Mr Li," Mrs An said.
"Likewise," Li Fengjin nodded.
"And that little cutie beside her is her daughter."
"Oh, Daiyu where are your manners? Say hello," Mrs Sn urged An Daiyu who seemed pretty nervous.
"I'm... I'm An Daiyu. Good afternoon."
"Wah! Her voice is so sweet. Hi honey. You can call me aunt Gu," Mrs Gu lightly pinched the little girl's flushed cheek.
While they were fawning over the cutie little thing, Mrs An just stood smiling. Her daughter has never received many praises from those from the high class because they were poor.
But looking at these set of adults were totally different. Even their children did not frown at her daughter.
Meanwhile, An Daiyu was being a bundle of nerves. Her little hands clutched in the coat she wearing as she shyly said thank you to whatever praises they showered her with.
"Mrs An, we are about to celebrate the kid's graduation. Would you like to tag along?" Li Fengjin asked surprising them all.
"I am sorry but I would have to refuse your kind offer, Mr Li. I have to start working soon," Mrs An politely turned down his offer which disappointed Bai Xiaojin and Gu Mingzhe.
Their friendship with An Daiyu has been smelling during their last week in the preschool. They wanted to play more together. Even An Daiyu was turned sad but she could not complain because she knew her mother had to work to earn for the day.
"I will pay for the pastries you will sell for today," he blurted out.
"Huh?"
"I learnt from my wife that you own a bakery. I don't mean to be rude and if you would not mind, I would pay for your today's sales so that you can accompany us to celebrate," he added.
"But Mr Li, it would be a bother to–"
"Come on now, Mrs An. Let's go. Do it for Daiyu to spend time with her friends," Bai Renxiang pressed more.
"I... Alright then, if you do not mind it would be a pleasure celebrating with you all," Mrs An finally agreed.
"Yay!" The kids jumped in joy.
That being agreed on, Mrs An and An Daiyu rode with Bai Renxiang, while Mr and Mrs Gu rode Jn their car and followed closely behind them to the restaurant.
On getting there, Li Fengjin had already booked a private booth so they wasted no time in settling down. Their food arrived in no time and they began eating and chatting.
"Ruoxi she's adorable. Can we have a daughter as cute as Daiyu?" Mr Gu Qianfan asked his wife.
"Of course. We are still healthy to have another child," Mrs Gu agreed shamelessly.
"I want one too," Li Fengjin whispered to Bai Renxiang.
"Behave yourself, Jin," Bai Renxiang warned in a relatively low tone. "Besides, we already agreed to go with the flow of nature concerning this."
"I'm glad you want one too," Li Fengjin winked.
"Sigh... Besides, you were really incessant to let Mrs An join us."
"I noticed that Xiaojin still wanted the little cutie around. I wanted to support his first-ever relationship with a girl of his age," he answered with a shrug before forking a piece of beef and eating it.
"Mm-hmm. You sound like a matchmaker for our son."
"And what's wrong with that if our son is showing a little interest in a cute girl? Daiyu is not bad either."
"She isn't."
"So... Mr Li, I want to use this opportunity to congratulate you on your wedding... Congratulations," Mr Gu Qianfan said as he raised a glass before drinking
"Thank you, Mr Gu," Li Fengjin did the same.
"I must say that the two of you are a match made in heaven. So perfect for each other," Mrs Gu commented making Bai Renxiang blush a little.
Their talks on marriage continue and drifted into their business and whatnot. They had a great time and enjoyed themselves, especially the kids.
At the end of the little celebration, they dropped Mrs An and An Daiyu at their bakery and Li Fengjin kept his promise. He wrote an amount bigger than shat Mrs An had told him her sales would be on a cheque and gave it to her.
Mrs An was overwhelmed once more and thanked them sincerely before they left.
"Things have been bright for us nowadays, baby," Mrs An said to An Daiyu. "We can finally get you another set of good clothes and shoes, especially for their wedding."
After they left Mrs An's bakery, they got a call from Yang Chen telling them that Ye Chaoxiang had just arrived at the airport. They agreed to meet at his house.
"He is finally back. Xiaozhi can finally maintain a cool head," Bai Renxiang sighed.
"Yeah. I wonder what made him to postponed his flight."
~In Ye Chaoxiang's house~
Ning Xiaozhi was super excited about her boyfriend's return and wanted to come to him like did not get a chance.
She was all pouty as the little cutie Ye Chaoxiang brought back did not give her all the slightest opportunity to do so. Ning Xiaozhi thought they were okay when they talked on the phone but that does not seem to be the case.
"Sigh... I wonder what I did wrong? Am I am not so great with kids anymore? I am losing hope."
