CHAPTER 156
At Jiang's Corporation, Bai Renxiang had just finished a meeting with all heads of department. She went straight to her office after that and continued burying her head into the stack load of files on her desk.
Just as she busied herself, her new assistant, Xia Xinyi came in after knocking and gaining permission to enter, with her phone beside her ear. It seems as if she was still talking with a person on the phone. Assistant Xia Xinyi, placed the person on hold and looked up to Bai Renxiang.
"Uh, boss. Shane, your driver asked if you still wanted to go pick up little master Xiaojin at school," she relayed the information if the person, which is Shane to Bai Renxiang.
Bai Renxiang's mouth fell open as she let out a loud gasp with wide eyes and jumped out of her seat.
"What time is it Xia Xinyi?" Bai Renxiang asked as she placed some files into a black bag.
"It is almost an hour past lunchtime," Xia Xinyi said.
"What?! That long? Oh my good Lord. How can I forget that I want to pick up my baby from school? Oh heavens. My baby has been waiting for so long now. I am such a bad mother," she kept in ranting as she fixed the things she needed.
"Do not say such things about yourself, ma'am. You are the most hard-working mum I have ever seen," Assistant Xia Xinyi tried to ease Bai Renxiang but it was not helping at all. Not even a little bit.
"Oh stop saying those things, Xia Xinyi. You will only make me feel even worse... if there is any word like that," Bai Renxiang said and finally grabbed her purse.
"Tell Shane to take the car out immediately. I will be down in flash. Also, cancel all my schedules for the day. If there is anything important for me to handle, just send it to my email. I took some files to work on at home, okay? Take care of the things you can. Go home early," Bai Renxiang kept talking as she ran towards the door then she stopped and turned to look at Xia Xinyi.

"Yes, boss."
"The only person that gets to know about my reason for my absence is Assistant Charlie, you got that?"
"Yes, boss. Definitely. And boss," she called out before Bai Renxiang left.
"Please send my regards to little master Xiaojin," she said.
"Alright. Ah! One last thing... Don't forget to lock the door. Bye muah," she threw Xia Xinyi a flying kiss before she bolted out of the office.
Bai Xiaojin kept on looking at the toy car. Then suddenly the dream he had about a man he called daddy. His smile depreciated a little.
"Thank you so much," he said.
"Hmm. You are welcome. Let this be a reminder to you that you should always be strong. You see, sigh. You have to learn how to be... how do I put this for a kid to understand?" Li Fengjin murmured.
"I am not a kid," Bai Xiaojin pouted.

"Yeah, sure big man. Whatever you say. So, you must know one thing, hmm? It is not all things that people say that you let get to you and make you feel sad. You have to learn how to remain nonchalant to the words of people that you know it is not true, especially about you not having a dad," he advised.
"But why do people, especially those stupid dumb ass boys have to say it? Can they not just call me something like fat cheeks or big head or whatever?" Bai Xiaojin asked in a solemn voice.
"They do not call you all that because it will not hurt you like the way they want it. So if you shun out their spiteful words and not give them the impression that it is hurting you, then they will start leaving you alone."
"Really? Do you think so? You think that if s keep s straight face like yours, they will let me be?" Bai Xiaojin asked with raised brows.
"Uh-huh. Listen to me. If those kids continue saying those things, you can fight back with words. Like you can call them names like big head, pig fart or cow poop and whatnot, hmm?" Li Fengjin said and patted his head.
"But mummy said not to use curse words and you are not even supposed to be teaching me those," he tilted his head a little.
"Yeah mum's say a lot of things and you know some of those words yourself, so I am not a bad adult," Li Fengjin defended himself.
"Sigh. I think you are right mister. Thank you for the advice and the cool toy car," Bai Xiaojin thanked Li Fengjin again.
"Alright. I have to get going now. Bye big man," Li Fengjin said and stood up after ruffling Bai Xiaojin's hair.
"Hmm. Bye-bye mister," Bai Xiaojin said.
Li Fengjin arranged his suit as he turned on his feet, ready to get into his car when he felt a light tug on his trouser. He turned back to see Bai Xiaojin still holding his trouser.
"Yeah. What's wrong?" He asked.
"Well... I wanted to ask if...if you," he stammered.
"Hey, why are you stuttering?" He was met with a silent Bai Xiaojin who had his head down as moved from one foot to another.
"It's alright. You can ask whatever you want to ask. I will not get angry," Li Fengjin probed further.
"I..well," Bai Xiaojin took in deep breaths and looked up to Li Fengjin and this time there was something in his eyes. Desperation, sadness, longing and whatnot. Before Li Fengjin could register or get hold of his flickering emotions, he heard the little child speak.
"Mister... Will you be my daddy?"
