Playboy CEO Has a Baby

It is four o'clock so in the afternoon. The employees from Emperor's Enterprise dragged their tired selves to their various homes.

Normally, the closing hours of work in Emperor's Enterprise is two o'clock in the afternoon. But due to the workload that the growth of the company depends on, the working hours had been extended till four.

Bai Renxiang herself felt drained but she still had another job to attend to.

"I am so worked up. I can not even think of resting because I still need to go over to the restaurant and I am so damn late," Bai Renxiang complained to no one in particular.

Who could she possibly complain to? She groaned in frustration as she fished her phone from her sling bag to give Shane a call.

Before the call went through, a dark blue Camry parked right in front of her. She was puzzled at first, but her fear subsided when the window of the passenger's seat rolled down.

"Bai Renxiang? What are you still doing here by this time?" Yi Minsheng asked- surprise and confusion laced his deep voice.

"Yi Minsheng? What are you doing here?" Bai Renxiang also asked in surprise.

"Get in first then we can chat while we hit the road," he said and unlocked the door for her yi get in.

Bai Renxiang hesitated. What if Shane came by to look for her?

"I am sorry Yi Minsheng, but Shane will be here to pick up soon. He will be mad if he comes and does not find me here," she politely declined his kind offer.

"Well, you can just call him and tell him not to worry about picking you up. I will do it. So hop in," he persuaded.

"Alright," she finally agreed and entered the car before he drove off. Yi Minsheng is her neighbour and friend, so it is safe for him to give her a lift, right?

"Thank you very much," she thanked him as she put on her seat belt.

"There is no need for that, Renxiang. It is what friends are supposed to do when they have the opportunity to," Yi Minsheng cast a quick glance at her before focusing on the road.

"Are you coming from work?" Bai Renxiang could not help but ask as he is still in his formal wear for work.

"Yes, I am. I pass by here every day from work. I was surprised to see you outside your workplace by this time," he answered.

"Oh. Our big boss came to our branch to pay us a visit. He will be here for some time. We were all given an important task to carry out before we leave. So, we just finished a few minutes back that is why you still saw me there," Bai Renxiang explained her own side of the story.

"Ah, I see. So are you going to go home or to your other job?" Yi Minsheng asked. He is at the moment trying to calm his racing heart. To be in a little space with the woman he actually loves and had been crushing on for years is not an easy feat.

"I have to go to my other job. I did not tell my boss that I will be skipping work. But without telling my boss, I, myself can not bring myself to miss work," she said with a sigh.

After Bai Renxiang spoke, silence prevailed in the car. Yi Minsheng is deep in his thought and Bai Renxiang also. But Yo Minsheng found the silence to be nerve-wracking.

He has never been alone with Bai Renxiang before now. That and his lack of courage was the reason he had not told Bai Renxiang of his feelings for her. Although he fears being rejected, he still wanted to give it a try. He also did not want to live his life full of regret for not telling her.

So now that a golden opportunity has been served on his palm, he wants to grab it and make good use of it. An opportunity they say comes but once.

Meanwhile, Bai Renxiang was busy thinking about her son. She wondered how his exam went and if he had eaten lunch. Lunch was not a problem with Shin, Shane and her mother around, but she still could not help but worry.

Yi Minsheng cleared his throat to gain her attention but failed.

"Renxiang," he called out to her. Yi Minsheng's voice calling her name brought Bai Renxiang out if her thoughts.

"Hmm," she turned her head to him. "What happened?"

"Nothing. I just... I want to tell you something. Can I?" Yi Minsheng asked nervously. His palm on the wheels was already sweaty to show the state of his nervousness.

"Yes, you can. You do not have to ask. You are creeping me out by doing that?" Bai Renxiang asked observing him carefully. Being stared at like that by his crush made Yi Minsheng even more nervous.

"Hahaha. There is nothing to be crept about," he chuckled awkwardly as he used his left hand to scratch the back of his head.

"Okay. So what is the question you want to ask?" She probed.

Yi Minsheng looked at her and back to the road then took deep breaths.

"The thing is... well, I have been meaning to tell you this, but I did not have the chance and courage to," he pulled the car over by the side of the road close to the restaurant she works.

Bai Renxiang felt puzzled. Why is she getting the feeling that what he is about to say will really really scare the hell out of her? His behaviour and the sudden change in his mood was shocking.

She had never seen this side of him. He is too serious for her liking. His stare is intense.

"I will not waste your time. I have had this feeling for a long time back and I just can't hold it in anymore. Bai Renxiang, you mean so much to me. I do not know how to say it since I have never experienced anything like this before I met you, but here it goes. I have feelings for you."
