Chapter 51 - Baby Girl

Chapter 51: Baby Girl

After speaking on the phone for a few minutes, Xu Tian hung up. He grabbed a tablet, tapped a few times on it, and brought it with him as he headed to the President’s office. He knocked on the door a couple of times, opened it and stepped inside.

Jin Liwei’s usual cold indifference was nowhere to be seen. Obviously, he was still in a great mood, a hint of a smile softening his expression.

Xu Tian almost felt hesitant to destroy his boss’ good mood, but he steeled himself and walked towards the huge dalbergia wood desk.

Jin Liwei looked up from the mountain of documents he was reading and signing.

"Please excuse me, President. I have something that I think you may be interested in." Xu Tian handed the tablet to his boss.

"Hm?" Jin Liwei received the tablet and began reading. A frown appeared on his handsome face after a few seconds. The frown deepened as he read more. After a few minutes, the frown transformed into an outraged expression.

"Confirm if these are true," Jin Liwei ordered.

"I already did, President. I just called Director He of ’MusicFest Tonight’ and he confirmed with me that there was indeed an altercation involving Miss Long and this female group called Alarm Girls last night during the show. Director He also confirmed that due to the stress from the argument, Miss Long fainted."

Jin Liwei banged his hand on his desk. "And they still let her perform?"

"Director He insisted that they offered Miss Long to cancel her performance and just perform on another episode, but Miss Long apparently refused."

A dangerous aura emanated from Jin Liwei.

Frowning, he asked, "Xiulan has selective amnesia?"

Xu Tian hesitated for a few seconds before answering. "Her hospital records don’t show any indication that Miss Long suffers from memory loss. However, it’s a fact that Miss Long has refused all suggestions of psychological therapy. Perhaps..."

"I understand." Jin Liwei continued to read on the tablet. His outraged expression transformed into a terrifyingly cold expression. "These Alarm Girls...destroy them."

"Understood, President."

"You may go."

Xu Tian nodded, about to leave.

"Wait. Order a bouquet of one hundred yellow roses and send it to Xiulan today." He paused. "No, I’ll bring it myself tonight."

"Understood, President. Is there anything else?"

"None. Go."

Jin Liwei grabbed his mobile phone and dialed while Xu Tian left.

"Hello?" His baby girl’s lovely voice answered.

His expression softened a bit, but he was still feeling furious.

"Why didn’t you tell me?"

"What are you talking about, Jin Liwei?"

"What did those b*tches say to you?"

"..."

"Xiulan," he growled.

He heard her sigh. "So you already know. Don’t worry. I’m fine. They didn’t hurt me. My manager and Dom were there. And besides, I can protect myself."

"You fainted."

She giggled. "Oh, Liwei. I didn’t really faint. Dom and I were just acting to escape from the situation. I didn’t want to waste my time and energy arguing with people like them. I only wanted to focus on my comeback performance."

"You...what?"

"I think both Dom and I overdid it a little. I feel bad that I made people worry, but if I had let the situation continue, I would’ve missed my performance. I also didn’t expect for this incident to spread online and be blown up this much. If it bothers you so much, I can delete everything about it on the web."

"Are you bothered?"

"No."

He sighed. "I’m bothered, but it’s up to you whether you want to delete the incident online or not."

"Okay."

"Xiulan, are you really alright?"

"Yes. Don’t worry. I’m fine."

He paused before asking, "Do you really have selective amnesia?"

She sighed again. "No, I don’t. Those girls were really annoying. I had enough of them but I didn’t want to argue at that time, so I just told them I have selective amnesia to make them leave me alone, but unfortunately they didn’t. They became even more persistent so...I had to faint."

"I see."

"Do you think I’m a liar?"

"No."

"Okay."

"Next time, tell me when things like this happen to you."

"Liwei, they’re not worth your attention."

"Anything concerning you, I want to know."

"..."

"You’ll tell me next time, okay?"

"You’re too bothersome."

"Xiulan."

"Fine."

"Good girl." He smiled softly. "What are you doing now?"

"I’m on the road. I’ll be guesting on a radio show to promote my upcoming album."

"What time will you be at home?"

"I think maybe around 7 or 8 in the evening, 9 at the latest. I have a magazine photoshoot and interview after the radio show."

"I’ll come by your place tonight for dinner."

"..."

"Okay, baby girl?"

"Fine." One second. Two seconds. Three seconds of silence. "How’s work?"

Jin Liwei smiled so wide that it felt like it reached his ears. His baby girl was finally showing interest in him. "Work is as usual. I’m still the boss."

Her chuckle sounded so lovely to the ears that he almost wanted to drive to where she was to hug her and kiss her.

"Have you eaten lunch yet?" she asked.

"Not yet. I still have a lot of documents to sign. I’ll eat later."

"Okay. Make sure you eat lunch or you’re not welcome for dinner tonight."

He laughed. "Alright. I’ll eat lunch. I don’t want to worry my baby girl."

"Who’s worried about you? And I’m not your baby girl, Mr. Jin."

"You are my baby girl. Also, if you call me Mr. Jin again, I’ll move to your place and live with you. I already told you to call me Liwei."

"You! You’re so...bothersome."

He laughed happily. His baby girl was so cute.

He heard some noise in the background on her side.

"We’ve arrived. I have to go now," she informed him.

"Alright. Take care and have fun."

"You too."

"See you at dinner tonight."

"Okay. See you."

"Bye, baby girl."

"Bye, Liwei." Then she hung up.

He chuckled when the call ended. He was in an even better mood now. It seemed like his baby girl was starting to care a bit about him. He decided to work harder on seducing her, so she would never be able to escape from him.

"You’re going to be mine, baby girl. Only mine."

With a smug smile, he continued signing documents.
