BXBX NOVEL Chapter 480 Call From Her Mother
************
CHAPTER 480
Bai Renxiang\'s black orbs stared waringly and very observant at the nine people in front of her. She was searching to see any slight crack on their facial expressions.
But nothing changed. They all held that sincerity and adoration in their eyes for her. Seeing as they were not breaking, she decided to be plain with her thoughts through her words. By
"You are all saying that because you are my friends," Bai Renxiang was in doubt as she pouted.
"No way. Anyone would think so. How about we call Yimo to ask him then?" Ye Chaoxiang brought up a suggestion.
"That\'s a good idea. Let\'s–"
"No," Bai Renxiang quickly stopped them. "Not another person should see them."
"Then you should believe when your friends or rather your family tells you that you are a beauty," said Yi Changying.
"Pregnant or not. Bloated or fat," Ye Yumi added.
Looking at the picture again, Bai Renxiang pursed her lips in consideration. After a while of thinking, she let her eyes trail back to them.
"You are not just saying those things to make me feel better about it, right?" She asked and bit her lips.
Li Fengjin: "Of course not, my love. I and everyone else swear that we are all speaking the truth. Right, guys?"
Everyons: "That\'s right"
"Fine... But you can\'t make fun of me later for this, promise?"
"We promise," Ning Xiaozhi replied in their behalf. "Now, let us see that one you are holding. Come on."
Bai Renxiang sighed before letting them have the picture. Ning Xiaozhi quickly took the picture and sat down. Yi Changying, Ye Yumi and Lisa sat on her sides to take a look too.
Seeing them behave like a fangirl finally getting hold of their idol\'s picture.
"Come here," Li Fengjin patted the space beside on the chair.
Bai Renxiang let out yet another sigh and scooted closer to Li Fengjin. Since the pictures were many, he gave the ones he had already seen to the guys.
"I\'m sorry you had to go through all these without me by your side," Li Fengjin said after a long time of going through the pictures.
"How many times do you want to apologize to me for the past three years. It\'s really nothing, Jin. I at least had my mother, grandpa and the rest with me."
"I know but still... I should have been there."
"Okay. But you are here with me and Xiaojin now. Just make up for it like you have been doing," Bai Renxiang shrugged.
"I will... But you look so loveable when you are pregnant. I can\'t wait to experience another pregnancy with you," Li Fengjin said with excitement laced in his voice.
Bai Renxiang pinched his waist as a hue of pink framed her cheeks. "We are not the only ones in the living room, Jin," she chided him a low tone.
"What? It is normal for me to want to sew you pregnant again. I am your husband," he said matter-of-factly.
"You–"
"Hey, Renxiang. Did it hurt when the baby kicked?" Lisa\'s questions interrupted their discussion.
"Huh? Uhm, n-not really. I just get excited instead of feel any pain when he kicked. It made happy that my baby was healthy and alive," she answered.
"Wow!" Lisa exclaimed.
"Aww! Look at how cute baby Xiaojin," Ye Yumi voice was heard next.
"I wanna see me," Li Xiaojin went over to meet them. "Lee Ai, come and take a look."
As they went on and on about the lectures from the memory boxes sent and throwing questions, the sound of a phone ringing interrupted them.
"Whose phone is that?" Wang Tingxiao asked.
"Not mine."
"It\'s mine," Ning Xiaozhi said as she stood up and walked to her purse where her phone was ringing continuously.
Silence enveloped the room as she took out her phone and checked who the caller was. Ning Xiaozhi\'s expression turned sour at the word displayed on her phone\'s screen.
\'Bossy mother.\'
"I will... I need to take this call. Please excuse me, guys," she said before rushing to the garden.
"Is it just me or did anyone else find her expression weird?" Ye Yumi pointed out as soon as Ning Xiaozhi left.
"It is not just you, girl. I noticed too," Yi Changying said.
"Maybe it is work call from her restaurant," Yang Chen guessed and shrugged.
"It can\'t be that. Her restaurant did not open for business today," Bai Renxiang shook her head.
"Chaoxiang do you perhaps know what might be wrong with her?" Ye Yumi asked with worry.
"I have no idea either," Ye Chaoxiang answered.
"Let us just wait till she gets back from the call. We can ask her then," Yang Wenkai said.
Meanwhile, Ning Xiaozhi was having a hard time in receiving the call. She was contemplating on if she should just switch of her phone.
But if she does that, her mother would know as the call has gone through a few times. Either way, Ning Xiaozhi did not be the to talk to her.
"Why can\'t she just take a hint that I don\'t want to receive her call, damn it?" She groaned in frustration.
*ring ring*
*ring ring*
"Sigh... Okay, Xiaozhi. You can do this."
Swiping on the green call icon, she quickly placed the phone beside her ear. Before the person at the other end of the call could even day a words, Ning Xiaozhi beat her to it.
"What do you want?"
"Is that the greeting I get from you, Iris?" The calm and elegant voice of her mother entered her ear.
"If you called for a greeting I would rather you hang up now. I\'m a very busy person and you of all busy persons in the world knows that time is a relevant factor," Ning Xiaozhi said those was with evident coldness laced in the tone of her voice.
"Hahaha," Mrs Ning laughed mockingly. "Busy? Haha... Oh, don\'t make me laugh, darling."
