CHAPTER 179

Tap Tap Tap

Bai Renxiang's fair fingers were typing away on the keyboard on her desk. Then the ringing of her phone disturbed her. She blindly searched for her phone as her eyes were still fixed on the computer screen. Finally taking her eyes off the screen, she looked at the name on her display on her phone and a bright cheeky smile bloomed on her face.

"Hello Xiaozhi," Bai Renxiang said with a pleasant voice.

"Good morning CEO Bai Renxiang," Ning Xiaozhi jested making Bai Renxiang and herself to burst out on a short laughter.

"Stop it Ning Xiaozhi. Anyways, how has my best friend been doing?" Bai Renxiang asked.

"Oh? Now you remember that you have a best friend?" Ning Xiaozhi said.

"Sigh. It is not like that and you know it, Ning Xiaozhi," Bai Renxiang sighed.

"Yeah I know it very well. And since you forgot me, I decided to be the reasonable one amongst the two of us and call."

"Gasp. Are you saying that I am not reasonable right now?"

"Uh huh."

"Hehehe. Okay fine. I will over look your mean and hurtful words because I know that I was wrong for not calling. Are you happy now?" Bai Renxiang chuckled as she shook her head.

"Now that is more like it. I am very happy. So...how is my best friend doing and holding up with the company?"

"I was the first one to ask you that but I will answer yours forty. I am fine. I am also holding up quiet well thanks to my grandfather's assistant helping me out," Bai Renxiang replied.

"That is great. I knew my baby will be able to handle things over there," Ning Xiaozhi praised her.

"So tell me. How are you? Is everything fine at the restaurant? What about the others?" Bai Renxiang asked.

"Everything and everyone at the restaurant is fine. They all miss you, including the customers," said Ning Xiaozhi.

"Aww. I miss them too. Sends my regards to them all okay?"

"Sure sure. So about me... I doing great."

"I can hear that from your voice. That and something else that you are not telling me. Spill girl. I want details of all that has been happening to you," Bai Renxiang stood up from her chair and walked to the refrigerator in the office lodge. She got herself a glass of juice and walked back to her office and to the floor to ceiling window.

"You got that right baby girl. You know me so well," Ning Xiaozhi laughed.

"Of course I do. If I do not know you then who will?"

"He will. If my best friend do not know me then he will know me... in time though," Ning Xiaozhi answered.

"What are you- gasp. Who is the other person that should know you? Who is this 'he' we are talking about right now?" Bai Renxiang asked in excitement.

"Well... There is a he in my heart right now. Do you remember that hot doctor I told you about?" Ning Xiaozhi asked.

"Not really. But tell me about it."

"Okay. I met this hot hot guy when I was sick. I was like lost in his beauty when I saw him. So like after a very long time, he happened to stop by in the restaurant with his friends," she started and then paused.

"Uh huh. So? Go on, I am all ears," Bai Renxiang said. Ning Xiaozhi explained all that happened in the restaurant to Bai Renxiang.

"Oh. Poor guy," Bai Renxiang said after listening to her friend.

"Yeah. I felt so guilty for him. But that aside, we met again on my way home from the restaurant one evening. He saved me when I was almost raped by some guys."

"When you were almost WHAT?" Bai Renxiang shouted at the top of her lungs.

Ning Xiaozhi pulled her phone away from her ear due to Bai Renxiang's loud voice. She knew her best friend will surely react badly if she told her. That was the reason she did not call to tell Bai Renxiang since a long time back.

"Xiaozhi are you okay? Did you get hurt anywhere?" Bai Renxiang asked in fear of gearing such a bad news. She was really a bad friend for not checking up on her friend.

"Where are you now Ning Xiaozhi?" She asked as shee rushed to her table, picked up her purse and rushed out of her office.

"I am at home. Why did you ask?"

Assistant Xia Xinyi saw Bai Renxiang walk out of her office and she quickly approached her.

"Boss. Where are you going? Do we have a meeting? Should I prepare my things and go with you?" Assistant Xia Xinyi asked.

"I am not going to a meeting Xia Xinyi. I am going out for a while. I will be back before work hours is over. Call me if anything important comes up," she said and rushed to the elevator heading straight to the car park.

"Bai Renxiang what are doing? I am okay. You do not need the come over here," Ning Xiaozhi said. She overheard Bai Renxiang's conversation with the other person in the background and got to know that Bai Renxiang was about to leave the company to come and meet her.

"Do not ty I stop me Ning Xiaozhi. Something as bad as being raped almost happened to my best friend and I do not even have a single clue about it," Bai Renxiang got mad.

"This is why I did not want to tell you. You will start getting riled up and leave everything behind. I said I am okay and nothing happened to me. Besides you still have work to do, don't you?" Ning Xiaozhi said.

"I do not. Stay put in that house of yours until I get there," Bai Renxiang said and ended the call.

By now, she had arrived at the place where her car was parked. The driver stepped out and held the door open for her. She nodded at the driver before entering the car. Shane did not drive as Bai Renxiang had sent him home.

Ding Dong

p Bai Renxiang pressed the doorbell. She did not have to wait for long as in a matter of seconds, the door opened revealing Ning Xiaozhi's face and puppy eyes. Bai Renxiang just rolled her eyes and walked in.

"Do not think that with those cute eyes of yours you could escape me," Bai Renxiang said and sat down on the sofa in the living room with a frown marring her face.

"Come and sit here and give me a good reason why you did not tell me that you were almost..."Bai Renxiang left the last part out.

"Oh come on Bai Renxiang. I did not tell you because I knew you would do... this," Ning Xiaozhi said.

"How can you hide such a thing from me? I thought we were best friends. And so what if I leave everything behind because you told me about this? Is that not what best friends should do? You would do that for me too and you know it," Bai Renxiang raised her voice.

"I know. I just thought-"

"Stop thinking Ning Xiaozhi. How many times have I told you not to think before calling me when you need anything? I am so disappointed in you Ning Xiaozhi."

"Sigh. I am sorry. Please forgive me hmm," Ning Xiaozhi pleaded with puppy eyes and pouted lips as she hugged Bai Renxiang.

"Fine. I can't even stay a minute being mad at you. But since I did it this time because I was really pissed, I will forgive you," Bai Renxiang said.

"Thank you," Ning Xiaozhi said.

"But you have to promise not to do this next time okay? I was so scared when you told me about it. I know you were saved but still..." Bai Renxiang said.

"Alright u promise. Okay stop being mad. Although you are so damn beautiful when you are angry but you are not when the person you are mad at is me," Ning Xiaozhi puffed her cheeks.

"Yeah yeah whatever. I want to eat your special noodles while you tell me about that hoot doctor that stole your heart away."

Ning Xiaozhi and Bai Renxiang both went to the kitchen to prepare the noodles for both of them to eat. Soon enough, two bowls of noodles were prepared.

"Sigh. I missed this. So tell me about him."

"First of all, after saving from you know what, he literally carried me home and then I asked him to at least come in for coffee or noodles." Bai Renxiang's eyes widened in shock.

"You asked someone you do not know to come into your house at night?"

"Relax. He did not do anything and he is my knight in shining armor not a stranger," Ning Xiaozhi defended him.

"Hehehe. You are already defended him huh?"

"Well he saved my life and he is not a bad guy. Of course I will defend him."
