Playboy CEO Has a Baby

"My dear, do not let the past tie you down and hold you from living the future. Life is short and you are not getting any younger. You are already twenty-five. Try to have fun with friends. I doubt if you even have any."

Bai Renxiang frowned at her mother's words.

"Of course, I have friends, mum. What do you take me for? And I am twenty-four not twenty-five. Do not make me age with words," She made an angry pout.

"You do? Well then, I thank the Lord. Go out with them or bring them over for dinner. I thought you wanted to live a wild life when we came here. What happened now?" Jiang Meilin questioned. She could remember her daughter saying that she wanted to live freely since all her life was lived trying to please people.

"Mum, that can't happen anymore. I am a mother if a three year old kid not some high school teenager," Bai Renxiang stated.

"Besides, I have no time for outing when I am swamped with work work and work."

"That is my problem with you, you stubborn brat. The company pays well. Our store is also earning us good income. I wonder why you still work extra at that restaurant. If you will not leave that place, I will go there and tell your boss to fire you," Jiang Meilin declared.

"Gasp. How can you think of doing that? I love the restaurant. And I must not need to rely on the present income. I need to save and work for the future," Bai Renxiang retorted.

"What if something happens later on? You know we havenoone to turn to. Grandpa's relatives has literally snatched all he has, remember?" She reminded her mother of old man Jiang C's predicament.

"I know. But why not love that for the future and focus on the present. Even your grandpa hates that you work as a waitress," Jiang Meilin turned to her daughter and held bothof her hands. 

"Sweetie, I am not saying you should not save or work for the future. I am only siggestong that you live you life to the fullest. What is wrong with enjoying your youths like other youngster's out there? Think about it. Even little Jin is worried about you," Jiang Meilin advised.

"He does?" Bai Renxiang asked in surprise.

Jiang Meilin nodded her head and said, "That kid surprises me. I heard him tell Shin that you never have time for yourself and only think of how to make life better for us. He even wants to start a daddy hunt after his exams, during the holidays."

Giving Bai Renxiang a hug, Jiang Meilin place a warm kiss on her forehead.

"You have done more than enough for us as a lady. Let us handle the rest, okay? Go to bed soon. You can't afford to be late to the company tomorrow. Good night, dear." With all that has been said, Jiang Meilin retired to her room.

Bai Renxiang sighed. She really has made everyone, down to her son, worry. Her mother is right, she really needs to relax and enjoy life even if it is just for a small period of time. 

With her heart feeling lighter after the talk with her mother, she went to bed after making sure the alarm was set.

She has a big day ahead of he tomorrow. She will tell Ning Xiaozhi to help her bring youth into her old lady life.

************

It is Tuesday today. The sky has paved way for the sun to come out and bless the earth with its rays of sunlight. Birds are chirping, perrching and singing their early morning song.

Everyone had started to begin their morning routines. Store are opening, markets are getting filled with sellers and buyers.

Cars are already running on the highway as people were making their way to their various work places. This marked the beginning of yet another workday for the adults and school day for the children.

Jiang Meilin had joined in the opening of her grocery store with the help of Shin. Checking if everything were on order for the day's sale. Shane had drove off with Bai Renxiang to drop Bai Xiaojin in school.

As usual, Bai Renxiang walked him to his class wished him goodluck in his exams before leaving with Shane to work.

"Have a nice day at work sis," Shane waved at Bai Renxiang as she walked off towards the company's gate. Bai Renxiang also waved at him with a bright smile on her beautiful face.

Today, she wore a very simple outfit. A white printed silk material covered with flowering net design, a matching white open end heels and not to forget the simple white cubic earrings- small in size and a sling bag- all of the same colour.

Her full black hair was packed high up but it still fell below her shoulders. She had a light make up on.

In few words, she is simple yet elegantly gorgeous.

She as usual greeted the receptionist and other employees that she came across, got a cup of hot chocolate instead of coffe- which she did not like, from the canteen before she entered the lift to the floor where her department is located.

"Looking good girl," one of her colleagues commented when they passed by each other.

"Thank you. You look great too," Bai Renxiang returned the compliment. That was the first compliment among impressed stares she was getting today. It boosted her confidence.

On getting to her desk, she placed the cup of hot chocolate on it, pulled her chair and sat down. Bai Renxiang let out quick breaths, inhaling and exhaling with her eyelids closed.

When she finally opened them after a few seconds had gone by, Bei Suzy's hazel brown eyes greeted her starry night sky eyes. She jolted in shock at her friend's sudden appearance very close to her.

"Oh my God! What is wrong with you, Suzy? Why do you have to scare me like that to make your entrance? Geez, I almost fainted from shock," Bai Renxiang patted her fast racing heart.
