CHAPTER122
anwhile, in the tall building of Emperor's Enterprise, a young man in his mid-twenties stood in front of the floor to ceiling window of his office as he watched the busting city.
He had pulled his suit jacket earlier on and turned up the air conditioner a little as everywhere was hot. He had the three top buttons of his white shirt undone and folded the sleeves showcasing his strong and beautiful arms.
Li Fengjin had not taken enough breaks since he got here in City S. He is either in a eting or behind his desk buried in a workload of files that needed his attention.
But this Saturday he had less to do. So he can call his mother and hangout with his friends or maybe go to that restaurant that his Ms. Bai worked in.
While he is busy thinking and admiring the city's view from the window, he heard a knock on the door. He wondered who is there as he had given out his orders that no one should disturb him.
"Co in," he said but he still had his back facing the door.
"Boss sorry for disturbing you. It is just that Sheng is here to et you, sir," assistant Qing Yexuan said.
Li Fengjin turned his head slightly on hearing the man with the na Sheng had co to see him. He went to seat in his chair and gestured for his assistant to let the man in.
"Good morning boss," Sheng greeted as he dipped in his shoulders with his head down in respect.
"Hmm. I hope what you found this ti is worth the disturbance you caused?" Li Fengjin said with a straight face.
"I am sorry for the disturbance. What I found about the lady you told us to investigate this ti is very very interesting. I could not wait to bring the information to you myself," Sheng said with a slight smile on his face. Li Fengjin did not fail to notice that slight reaction on his face.
"Out with it then," Li Fengjin said.
"Ms. Bai has a child," Sheng said as he looked intently at his boss to his own reaction.
Li Fengjin was stunned. All that was ringing in his head is 'she has a child'. He is calm on the outside but within himself, he is in a state of turmoil. His emotions are not stable. After a long while of silence, he finally spoke up.
"How old is the child that she has?" He asked.
"Three years old boss. The boy is there years old," Sheng answered.
Li Fengjin yet again entered another state of shock. "A boy?" He asked again.
"Yes boss. Here are the information I could gather about it sir," Sheng moved forward a d handed the file to Li Fengjin.
The boy's na is Bai Xiaojin. He is three years if age and attends Little Stars Kindergarten School.
"Boss I found out that Ms. Bai's son, Bai Xiaojin, was expelled from his school," Sheng said.
Li Fengjin raised his head from what he was reading to look at the man. "What do you an by expelled? Why would a three years old child get expelled? What caused the expulsion?" He asked.
"It appears that Bai Xiaojin got into a fight with the son of a prestigious family here in City S. The principal judged in the favour of the family but looks like sothing behind closed doors happened and the principal lifted the punished, allowing Bai Xiaojin to school there again."
"Hmm. Which so called prestigious family did the boy fight with? Give more details Sheng," Li Fengjin bellowed.
"*Gulp* It is the Su, Xie and Long family boss."
"But you said 'a' prestigious family. Why am I hearing three nas now? There is more to the story?" Li Fengjin was beginning to loose his patience at the stalling of Sheng.
"Ahem. Actually it was the boys from these three families that troubled Bai Xiaojin. They insulted him and his mother causing him to hit the Su kid. But once the case reached the principal, the story changed and all accusing fingers were pointed to Ms. Bai's son, Bai Xiaojin," Sheng gave a detailed yet summarized report of what had transpired in the day of Bai Xiaojin's fight in his kindergarten school.
Li Fengjin now understood the whole matter. He now understood that she had a powerful backer but to find out who beca the problem. He sighed as he massaged his temples. There is so much on his plate causing more delay in his progress of knowing about the lady he had a one nightstand with.
"Alright. Thank you for your efforts. You may leave now," he said as he lolled into his leather chair.
"Thank you boss. Have a good day," Sheng bowed before he took his leave from Li Fengjin's office.
So many things were on his mind. He picked up a picture in the file that Sheng gave to him. It is a picture of a boy in his school uniform sitting under a huge tree. His short black hair fell smoothly on his fine forehead and his blue eyes looked dull or rather lonely.
Those eyes were a contrast to the bright ones on another picture. In that one, he is seeing smiling at a woman whose back faced the hidden person taking pictures.
From the looks of things, the boy pretends to be happy in front of his mother but in reality, he is just a loner in school. Another realization hit Li Fengjin.
"This boy has the sa blue eyes as mine and he also looks like . Does this an that he is my son?" Li Fengjin wondered with shocked wide eyes.
It can be possible. Looking at the ti the child was born it was exactly nine months after their night together in Emperor's Palace Hotel.
"Oh my God. Is this kid really my son? Wait..you can not jump into conclusions Li Fengjin," he spoke to himself as he began to pace fort and back in the large office.
He raked his hands through his hair, ssing it up and bringing it down to rub his face.
"I have to find out if he is my son. I will do a DNA test. But first I need to find out how to approach him.
Back at Bai Renxiang's house, Bai Renxiang still thought of the dream that her son had. It turns out that Bai Xiaojin longs for a father. But what if she found the man she slept with and get takes him away from her.She will not be able to live if her son is taken away from her.
She groaned in frustration at the thoughts that were plaguing her mind. She ran her hers through her face and shook her head- as if those thoughts will fly out if she does so.
Bai Renxiang needed focus. She had received the docunts Charlie has sent her through email. She decided to look through them now that she had nothing to do.
Jiang Corporation was a large business company that had her hands dipped in so many pies. The businesses ranging from hotels to skin products and to fashion designing big both jewelries and clothes.
Bai Renxiang continued studying the docunts until noon. She sighed as she closed and secured all the docunts in her email in her laptop. She then went ahead to make lunch before she headed down to help out in Jiang ilin's grocery store.
As it is Saturday, custors ca flocking into the store. It was almost crowed and it stunned her. Even Shin was working while Bai Xiaojin obediently sat down close to his grandmother. She quickly went in and helped her mother at the counter to attend to the custors that were done shopping for their groceries.
They all worked till evening forgetting about eating lunch. Once they close the store, they went into their apartnt. Bai Renxiang reheated the food she prepared for lunch and they all ate.

Ring! Ring!
"Hello."
"Oh thank goodness you are alive. You brat! You did not even bother to call your mother all through the week. Do you want her to die of anxiety?" Mr Li Tingzhe's angry voice rang out loud into Li Fengjin's ears from the phone.
Li Fengjin moved his phone away before he goes deaf due to his father's loud voice. He sighed as soon as he rembered that he had really not called his sweetheart for a long ti. She must be worried.
"Are you playing quiet card now? Answer you dimwit," Mr Li shouted.
"Sigh. If you are through with stretching your lungs you will give the phone to my mother. She is the one that has the right to scold and not you, you old man" Li Fengjin playfully irked his father.
"You- I will let your disrespect slide because your mother is by my side."
