CHAPTER 260

"Husband material?" Bai Renxiang said with a raised brow.

"Ah! Yes. That's the word. She wants me to be a good husband material and blah blah blah. So I had no choice but to learn it. Look at me now. I am putting that skill to good use," he chuckled and shook his head.

Who would have thought that the almighty, cold and playboy Li Fengjin would learn how to dry a woman's hair? No one would believe that.

The Li Fengjin the people knows is the one that plays with women like a player he is. He changes them like he changes his clothes.

Also, he always carried a cold and domineering air around him when ge was at work or anywhere business-related. So it would definitely be shocking if others heard it.

"Wow! Your mother is unbelievable. But I like what she did. Bai Xiaojin had already started learning stuff like that. He can at least about water, making himself scrambled egg. He can prepare a bath, do a little bit of laundry and he can be a sweet talker too," she listed a few things she knew her son could do.

She was surprised at how fast he learned and the things he could do at such a young age. To be honest, she felt worried at first- which she did not know for what reason. But later on, she grew proud of him.

Not all kids of his age could do what he does. Which mother would not be proud and happy about it?

"So the little big man can do some house chores? That is good to hear," Li Fengjin commented.

'He after all got it from the best. Bai Xiaojin's intelligence was gotten from me and you. But his cuteness and childishness are obviously from you,' he thought.

"All done," Li Fengjin said before turning off the hairdryer.

"Thank you so much," Bai Renxiang said as she touched her hair.

"What are you thanking me for?" Li Fengjin asked.

Although Li Fengjin knew why she was thanking him. But he could not help but feel that there was more to that thank you, she said. So he wanted her to spell it out.

He paced the hairdryer into the drawer and sat beside her.

"Thank you for saving me. I do not want to even imagine what might have happened to me if you or anyone else had not... found me. I-"

"Hey! That is enough. Do not think about that anymore. Nothing of what you are imagining happened to you. So stop thinking about it," Li Fengjin said as he caresses her face.

"I will try not to think or remember it. I just wanted to thank you. You took out more than enough of your time to be with me and take care of me. This means a lot to me, you know. So, thank you for everything," Bai Renxiang said and smiled a little.

"You are welcome. But I want you to understand that there is no such thing as more than enough of my time to be with you. My time is for you. If I do not spend it on you, then I do not want to and will not spend it on another woman, okay? So I do not want to hear you something like that again. Understood?" He warned.

"Hmm. Understood," Bai Renxiang nodded her head. "Yawn. I feel so tired already even though I literally slept the whole afternoon," she murmured.

"You were both mentally and physically exhausted. I think it's normal to want to sleep after such a long nap you took in the afternoon," he rubbed her head like a kid. "Climb in and sleep."

"Okay. Can you turn to the temperature of the air conditioner? My hands are cold already," she said.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you want to be sick?" Li Fengjin asked as he quickly turned up the temperature for the room to be warmer.

Li Fengjin totally forgot about the air conditioner when he called her out in the bathroom. No wonder her face was a little bit cold when he touched it.

"You were comfortable with the temperature,' Bai Renxiang said softly as she lay on the big bed.

"Silly girl. You're the one who's admitted to the hospital. You should learn to do what's comfortable for you," Li Fengjin tapped her nose and covered her with the thick bed cover.

After making sure she was comfortable, Li Fengjin went to lie on the couch in the room. He wished her good night and closed his eyes.

Bai Renxiang felt bad seeing him lying on the undersized couch. He was not comfortable at all as the couch was not long enough to accommodate his tall frame.

But she didn't know how to tell him to come and join her on the big bed. There was enough space to contain two other persons on the bed.

She wanted him to join her on it. Bai Renxiang could not bring herself to invite suggest that he come and lay with her. She did not want to sound... you know, needy or desperate and all that stuff. So she decided to sleep.

After a few minutes of tossing and turning, Bai Renxiang could not sleep. She kept on seeing Tim's ugly face and felt as if he was in the room.

"Li Fengjin," she called.

"Yes. Are you okay?" He asked.

"No," she answered. "I can't sleep and I feel like he is here. I'm scared," Bai Renxiang's voice was small and shaky.

Li Fengjin stood up from the couch and went to sit on the chair beside the bed. With folded arms, he watched her.

"Sleep now. I'm here. So no one can hurt you."

"That's not enough. Come and sleep here," she patted a space on the bed. "Please," she added.

Li Fengjin was stunned at first. But seeing her cute and scared face, he obliged and joined her. He even hugged her small frame to make her more secure.

"Better?" He asked.

"Hmm."

After a short while of silence, Bai Renxiang whispered.

"Li Fengjin, I think I love you."
