CHAPTER 538
The meeting with TY Corps went well and took a bit of time. It was just about a few rearrangements and a pending project.
It was an hour before closing hours what the meeting ended.
"It is nice to doing business with the real person in charge," Tang Mohyong said while they shook hands.
"Thank you," was all Bai Renxiang could say. This man was give g her some kind of vibes. She could not just place a finger on it yet.
"Alright. We shall take our leave now. I would not want Mr Li to come at me for keeping his dear wife here," he joked.
Bai Renxiang let out a small laugh. "Please. Allow my assistant to escort you to your ride," she offered while looking at Xia Xinyi.
"It is not necessary to bother the lady. We know the way. But thanks for your kind offer though."
"I see. If that is the case, then have a good day ahead."
"As to you."
That being that, the CEO and his assistant left the waiting area. Bai Renxiang took the opportunity to meet with the branch manager and the others.
There were two coordinators, a specialist and a supervisor. The introduction was bride as she wanted. She went over a few times before calling it a day.
She bets Li Fengjin would be winding what was taking her so long. And not to forget her baby, Li Xiaojin.
Sigh. She has two babies to pacify. The big baby and the small baby.
Since Xia Xinyi still had work to do and is also waiting for Jinhai, Bai Renxiang left the company on her own. On her way to the parking lot, she was surprised to still see the CEO of TY Corps by his car.
\'Is he waiting for someone? But wait why he is walking toward me?\' Bai Renxiang questioned herself in her head.
"CEO bai or should I call you Mrs Li outside work or–"
"Mrs Li is fine."
"Alright. I was waiting for you," he suddenly said.
Bai Renxiang\'s brows arched up in a questioning manner. "Waiting for me? Why? Is there something you forgot to say during the meeting?" She asked several questions.
"No. It has nothing to do with business actually. I just wanted to talk," Tang Mohyong said with a smile.
"Talk? I don\'t think there is anything for us to talk about considering this is our second meeting since my wedding," Bai Renxiang out tightly stated.
Okay. She was getting mixed thoughts about this guy. It was either he was a flirt or he was just being too friendly. Whatever it is, she did not like either.
"Well there is. Considering the fact that you have totally forgotten about me."
When Bai Renxiang still had that guarded front and confusion on her face, Tang Mohyong sighed.
"Chubby little kid, curly hair, loved cookies and had once offered little Renxiang a rainbow coloured lollipop. Do you remember now?" Tang Mohyong said a bunch of words.
It took a while but he finally saw the look of realization on Bai Renxiang\'s face. Her eyes widened and her lips opened wait no words fell out.
"Y-You... You are that– oh my God," Bai Renxiang placed her right palm over her lips as she eyed him from top to bottom.
"You are that sweet little kid?" She could finally form a full sentence.
Tang Mohyong sighed and smiled. "I thought you would never remember me there. You got me, little piece."
"For real? Oh my God! How did that chubby little thing cutie turn into this grown–"
"Handsome hunk. It\'s shocking but it is nothing but the truth. This is the grown package," Tang Mohyong said with his arm spread out as he did a small twirl.
"Hahaha. You are as proud as ever. I recognize that," Bai Renxiang laughed.
The guarded air around her finally disappeared. This was her childhood best friend. They have known each other since two until he suddenly travelled.
It was that year that her parents got divorced and everything started getting bad and sad.
"Well, you know me. I am the most handsome man you can find in the whole of China," he boasted.
Bai Renxiang rolled her eyes with her smile still on. That was practically his favourite line since when he was a kid.
"I am the most cutest kid you can find in the whole of China." He used to say.
"Wow! You have changed a lot. I did not even recognize you," Bai Renxiang exclaimed.
"Sadly, I can\'t say the same for you. You are still the same. The cheeks are still there, those dimples when you give that smile and you laugh. Everything is the same except your eyes look more feirce," Tang Mohyong pointed out.
"Well, yeah. I have gone through enough to remain that soft and sweet little girl from the past."
"I am sorry I could not be there for you and with you through those time, whatever happened," Tang Mohyong apologised sincerely.
"It is not a big deal. I survived thankfully. Anyway, how is life treating you? Oh!" She facepalmed herself. "I should not ask the obvious. You are probably doing great."
"And so are you. Mr Li and the little him are doing wonders in you. You are the happiest married young woman I know of."
"Hahaha. Don\'t start with your talks now. I can\'t crack a rib because of you," Bai Renxiang played along with his jokes. It was usual for them.
"I am being serious. Ah! Before I forget, how aunt Mei?" Tang Mohyong asked.
"She is doing better than before," Bai Renxiang answered with a slight nod as she tucked her hair behind her ear.
"I am getting a hidden meaning behind those words. Did something happen to aunt?" Worry was evident in Tang Mohyong\'s face.
"Oh! I guess you die not know since you travelled. Anyways, long story short, a divorce happened, kidney cancer, she got treated and now she is doing great," Bai Renxiang briefly explained.
"That is a lot. I am sorry to hear all those. I don\'t need anyone to tell me that your dad was in the wrong."
From the long time he had spent visiting and staying over at the Bai mansion then, he knew that Bai Renxiang\'s mother was not troublesome.
She was an honest and sweet woman. She had no problem at all. Meanwhile, Bai Guiren looked dishonest from a glance now that he thinks back.
His whole self never seated well with that man. Call it a child\'s intuition or whatever, he always did or talked or showed less with Bai Guiren in the mansion.
He was too small to understand why but he just concluded that he did not like the man. Period.
"You are right. But as always, a woman suffers tge blame and gets scorned. But it is all good now," Bai Renxiang shrugged.
"At least she is fine. That is what concerns me. You are going home now, right?"
"Yeah. I have spent more than enough time here. Jin and Xiaojin will start getting itchy."
"It is nice to have people wait for you to come home. That\'s why I still stay with my parents," Tang Mohyong said.
"Is it that or you are still mummy\'s boy? You just can\'t bear to part with her," Bai Renxiang trade.
"Ahem! Well, I can\'t still hide a thing from you, can I? But don\'t tell my dad. He will take advantage of it. I don\'t want that," Tang Mohyong scratched the back if his head in embarrassment.
"Alright. First little secret between us after years," Bai Renxiang agreed.
"Thanks. Anyway, I would love to see aunt Mei and my little nephew. Can I go with you?" Tang Mohyong asked.
"Well, aunt did not to this city come with us. She wants to stay with grandpa and she prefers there more."
"Oh! I did not get the chance to speak to her at your wedding. Too bad," Tang Mohyong sighed dejectedly.
He really missed Jiang Meilin. He always sees her as his other mother.
"Yeah. But you can see Xiaojin. He likes to know my friends. You should not be any different since you are good to me," Bai Renxiang tried to lift his spirit and it worked because his eyes suddenly lit up.
"I would love that. Let\'s go. I would love to drive so would you come with me?"
"Sure. Let me just inform those bulky men over there. Give me a sec, okay?"
Tang Mohyong nodded in approval. "No problem. Go on ahead."
Bai Renxiang took a few steps forward as she waved for one of them to come over.
"I am going to hop on with my old friend. You guys can go before and after us if you want to," she told the man that can forward.
"Yes, ma\'am." He nodded before walking away to relay the information to his brothers.
