CHAPTER 380

Bai Xiaojin propped his elbow on the table and used his hands to support his head by the chin. He stared at the couple- one spoke with a lovestruck gaze while the other tried to focus on the ice cream despite her cute red cheeks.

Meanwhile, Li Fengjin seemed to be in his own world of reminiscing his first sober encounter with the woman he so loved.

"When I heard her voice as she spoke, it felt like a breath of fresh air all of a sudden. I could not take my eyes off her for two reasons," he narrated.

"What are they? Please, tell me," Bai Xiaojin pressed for more story.

"Xiaojin," Bai Renxiang called out his name with a warning.

But her face did not match her stern voice. So Bai Xiaojin only pouted at Li Fengjin and made puppy eyes at him. Li Fengjin smiled.

"My love, this is our story," he said to Bai Renxiang. "Our son should hear it."

Bai Renxiang could only sigh in defeat. She swept a strand of her hair behind her red ears and continued with her ice cream. She decided to try to ignore these two lest she would die of embarrassment.

Also, with the way Li Fengjin was staring at her, she doubt if she would last longer in her seat. Her stomach felt giddy with the numerous butterfly doing a happy dance.

Her heart beat wildly against her chest. She could hear it ring in her ears and she even feared that her fiance and son would hear it too.

"Back to my... our story. The first reason was that I had been searching for her for years. And then, there she was. Standing in front of me with a pen and notepad," he continued.

"Hehehe. Mummy must have done something clumsy because of your stares. Was her face as red as a ripe fresh tomato, like now?" Bai Xiaojin asked.

"Haha. It was not that red. But I can say I saw a faint pink hue on her cheeks. As for her clumsiness, Ye Chaoxiang and Yang Chen said she left hurriedly to get our orders. They told me I scared her off with my piercing gaze," Li Fengjin shook his head as he remembered.

"You can't blame me. You were beginning to make me feel nervous," Bai Renxiang butt in.

"Oh, I did?" Bai Renxiang nodded. "Impressive. So I had an effect on you since way back. Did you start to have feelings for me since then?" Li Fengjin went on to tease her.

"You... Don't spout nonsense in front of Xiaojin. I- I was not... I didn't start having any feelings for you," she refuted his claims.

"Is it? I wonder when you started liking me back though. I'm very curious to know," Li Fengjin said with an innocent expression.

Bai Xiaojin giggled seeing them argue. He clapped his hands as if he was cheering them on because he was enjoying the show.

"Curious or not... I'm not going to tell you," Bai Renxiang said and stuck her tongue out at him before scooping some ice cream into her mouth.

"You will eventually tell me whether you like it or not."

Before Bai Renxiang could react to his words, Li Fengjin continued their story.

"Also, for the second reason... I was just too centralised in her beauty. The only picture I got of her during my search didn't do justice to her gorgeous face. So, I couldn't just take my eyes off her even if my mind wanted me to quit it."

"My mummy is the most beautiful woman in the world. So, it's only normal for daddy to be lost in her beauty. Right, mummy?" Bank Xiaojin turned to Bai Renxiang.

"Right," she answered almost immediately. When she realized what she has just said, her eyes went round. "No."

"No?" Li Fengjin's brows raised as amusement dangled in his eyes.

"No... I don't mean no. I mean it was not right to stare at that time. Because we or rather I did not know him, it was rude to stare," she quickly explained what she meant.

"So, does that mean that now I can stare at you for as long as I want?" Li Fengjin leaned on the table bringing himself closer to her.

Bai Renxiang gasped. She just realized that there was a loophole in her statement. How could she not make mistake with his eyes staring at her as if he wanted to eat her whole?

"No... It is not like you do not stare at me as long as you want even now," Bai Renxiang's voice came out as a whisper as she averted her eyes to the ice cream bowl.

Since Li Fengjin was close to her, he heard her well and clear. He smirked.historical

"Okay. That's how we first met."

"I like your story. What about the second meeting? How did it happen?" Bai Xiaojin was filled with curiosity about his parent's love story.

"Xiaojin, that is enough stories for you. Eat your ice cream so that we can go home."

This time Bai Renxiang was serious. Bai Xiaojin sighed with a pout and continued eating. Li Fengjin smiled and did same. But he did not forget to feed her at intervals.

The family of three ate their ice cream while still having fun with each other. Once they were done, Li Fengjin settled the bill after buying a butter-iced-designed vanilla cake.

"My love, where are you going?" Li Fengjin called out to Bai Renxiang who was walking toward her waiting car.

She paused on her steps and turned. Li Fengjin who was carrying Bai Xiaojin stopped behind her. They were not moving which confused Bai Renxiang.

"Why are you just standing there?" She questioned him instead of answering.

"My car is this way," Li Fengjin said. "We are going home."

"Huh?"

"Mummy, we are going to daddy's house tonight. So come this way," Bai Xiaojin pointed in the other direction.

"Your house? Why?"
