CHAPTER 366
Unlike the previous time, after much argument and pleading, Li Fengjin allowed Bai Renxiang to see him off to his car. They held hands all the way and they attracted a lot of attention.
But knowing Li Fengjin, he did not care at all. He kept up his public display of affection. He would kiss her cheek, her hand and her forehead.
But as the shy girl Bai Renxiang tended to be, she was blushing furiously. Her face had not returned to its milky white skin.
"Jin, you have to stop people are beginning to stare," she whispered to him.
"They should stare. It is not every day one gets to see a beautiful couple display their love outside. It is normal. Don't be embarrassed," Li Fengjin said.
"I am not used to it."
"What? So you and your ex never kissed in public before?"
"No. Let's stop about this ex-talk. I don't have an ex and I am nobody's ex. How can you bring that up?" Bai Renxiang said with an annoyed pout.
"Alright. I'm sorry. But you should get used to this. Just allow me to show off a little. Come on now. My car is just ahead," he pointed to his black Roll Royce.
"Okay. Let's go."

"So... This is where we say good night."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It is. Call me immediately you step foot into your house, okay?" Bai Renxiang hugged his waist.
"Okay. I will see you tomorrow then."
"Hmm."
Li Fengjin slipped his finger under her chin and lifted her head a little. He leaned down and places a light, slow kiss on her lips. Bai Renxiang sighed. Their lips lingered on each other before they started hesitantly.
Caressing her bright red cheek, he smiled, "Good night, my love."
"Good night, honey. Have a safe trip home."
Bai Renxiang stood and waved him off until the car was lost from her sight. Taking a deep breath, she turned back on her foot and walked back to the building.
On her way back, she bumped into Yi Minsheng. They were both surprised to see each other.
Taking a good look at her appearance, Yi Minsheng asked, "Are you just coming back from a stroll?"
"N-No. Jin just left. I–"
"You saw him off?"
"Yeah... Yes, I did," Bai Renxiang smiled. "Are you also coming back from a stroll? You can't be closing from work by this time, right?"
"I just wanted to feel the cool evening breeze a little before going to bed," Yi Minsheng nodded.
"That's cool. So... since we are both heading back, we should head back in together," she suggested.
Yi Minsheng was taken aback by her words. He just stared at her face without uttering a word. It was as if he was trying to see if she was serious or just saying it because they live opposite each other.
But all he saw was a genuine smile on her face. Meanwhile, Bai Renxiang was confused about his stare.
'Is there something on my face? I don't think so. If there was Li Fengjin would have told me,' she thought.
Bai Renxiang looked behind her to see if there was anyone he might be looking at instead of her. But there was no one there. She scratched her cheek in confusion.
"Minsheng? Hello! Yi Minsheng... Earth to Yi Minsheng. Report back," she waved her hands in front of his face.
"Huh? Yes... What did you say?" He snapped out of his trance.
"Hehehe... You just spaced out. What were you thinking off?" Bai Renxiang chuckled.
"Not... Nothing. I just..." He sighed and shook his head. "I thought you said you were not going to talk to me again," he finally said.
"Oh! Well, there was a condition for that. Besides, I kind of understand you now and Jin said I should just give you some time to sort yourself out," Bai Renxiang shrugged.
"You do? He... Li Fengjin said that?" Yi Minsheng's eyes were wide in disbelief.
"I do and yes. He said that. He is a guy after all," she tucked her hair behind her ear.
"He is... Anyway, let us get going. It getting cold and it is not that safe outside. Why did he allow you to see him off?" Yi Minsheng's brow furrowed.
Bai Renxiang scratched her cheek with a small smile and said, "He did not. I begged and argued and threatened him a tinnie-tiny bit."
"You threatened Li Fengjin?" Another shock.
"Mm-hmm. Stop looking at me like that. Come on, I am getting cold," Bai Renxiang walked ahead of him.
"She threatened that guy. So, that's what love does to guys like him... Huh. Hey, wait up Bai Renxiang," he rushed to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the elevator, the silence between the both of them was kind of stiff. Yi Mingsheng took the initiative to break it by saying something.
"So, I heard and watched the news today. It was your press conference," he said.
"Oh, that? Hehe... It's just a set-up."
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. The company and I are putting everything we got to get things under control. We've already succeeded in quelling the anger of the masses. Just a little more and we can fully get back on track," Bai Renxiang said.
"Thank God... I admired your stance in the press conference," Yi Minsheng complimented.
Bai Renxiang turned to him for a split second before looking at the door.
"Oh, really? Thanks. I was nervous though. Haha," she laughed.
"I bet nobody could tell you were."

The doors opened and they stepped out. On getting to the respective doors of their homes, Bai Renxiang wished him good night and pushed her door open.
"Wait," Yi Minsheng called before she could go in.
"Yes?"
"Are... Are you tying the knot with... with Li Fengjin?" He stuttered while looking at her left ring finger.
"Oh... Yes," she blushed. "I fell in love with the father of my son."
