Playboy CEO Has a Baby

CHAPTER 190

As soon as Mrs Yang heard her eldest son's voice, she felt a little sense of relief but she still could not help but worry a great deal. She had waited for him in the living room since he called and told her he had arrived at City X and would soon be home.

But two hours had passed and her son was not forthcoming. She began to panic, even more, when he was not picking up her calls. Her heart swelled in dangerous anxiety. So hearing his voice now, it's only natural for her to ask him a lot of questions about his well being and whereabouts.

"Xiaokai! Is that really you?" She asked when he spoke.

"Yes, mum. It is me," he answered.

"Oh my goodness. Are you okay? Why have you not been picking up my calls?" Did anything happen to you? Where are you? I'm coming to get you, right now," she bombarded him with questions, not even allowing him to utter a single sound not to even talk of a word.

Yang Wenkai chuckled hearing how worried she words. "Relax mum. Nothing happened to me," he assured her as he leaned casually on the car and tucked his left hand in his pocket. Ye Yumi stayed by his left as she gazed at him while he talked with his mother on the phone.

"Besides, Ye Yumi happened to pass by this area so I am currently with her," he added.

"Oh! Okay then take your time but still hurry back home. Bye."

Toot! Toot!

The call got disconnected. Yang Wenkai could not believe his ears. What did she mean by take your time?

Sigh.

This mother of his sure is something. He shook his head and passed the phone to Ye Yumi with a polite thank you.

"I am heading back to the city. Come. I will give you a ride home while I call someone to come and fetch your car," Ye Yumi said and walked ahead of him. Yang Wenkai closed the bonnet of his car and took his travel back, his keys and phone before following her.

"See ya later baby," he looked at his car one last time before turning his back and walking away from it.

Car: "No!! Master don't gooo!!!!"

Author: "If you really want him to not leave then you would have worked when he pleaded."

"Woah! You have got a nice car there," he commented as soon as his eyes landed on the red Mercedes Benz a few feet away from them.

"Thank you. Yours is not bad either," Ye Yumi turned slightly to answer him.

"I appreciate your compliment," he replied making Ye Yumi smile. She pressed a button on her key and the door of the Mercedes opened.

"So... how was your business trip?" Ye Yumi asked as the two of them settled in the car seats.

"It was good. I got the deal and also happened to make another deal with another company," he answered and did his seatbelt.

"Two deals in one trip? That is so cool. You really know your way in business don't you?" She praised.

"What can I say? I think it runs in the blood," he shrugged his shoulders. Ye Yumi chuckled at his remark.

"That is indeed true. Doing business runs in your family's blood and is buried deep in your bones," she added and Yang Wenkai nodded his head in obvious agreement.

"How about you? Did you enjoy your drive?"

"Yeah. I always do. I even discovered some cool places to be when I need time for myself," she said.

"That is nice. But I thought girls would rather like shopping with their friends or just hang out rather than just driving and finding places for some alone time?" he asked.

"Well... I am different from other girls. I do love shopping though. But unlike other girls, I would rather hang out with my work since it is the only friend I have," she answered.

Yang Wenkai was taken aback by what she said. For a lively person like Ye Yumi, he had expected her to have tons and tons of girlfriends. So, hearing her say something like not having friends got him staring at her in disbelief.

"Really? You really don't have any female friends?" He asked.

"What? Are you surprised or you do not believe me?" She asked with a smile as she gave a quick glance before focussing her eyes on the road.

"No. It's not that I don't believe you. I mean, you do not have any reason to lie. It is just that it is kind of... difficult to comprehend that someone as beautiful and cheerful as you are, does not have friends apart from her work," Yang Wenkai aired out his view, complimenting her on the process.

"Thanks for the compliment on my beauty," her smile widened. "But me not having any friends is true. I do not see anyone worthy enough for me to call my friend, you know. They are all either two-faced or bitchy or backstabbers," she said as she counted her fingers while listing their attributes.

"Also since my university days, almost all girls I meet want me to either be their minion or someone they can bully for fun. They are always after what I like or want. So I started distancing myself and concealing my likes and dislikes. But now that I am out of that stupid world, I choose to fight for what I want," she added.

Yang Wenkai felt bad for her. Who would not want to be friends with her? Of course no one. It is not as if she is lacking in people who she can choose to be friends with, it is just that she does not trust any of them to be friends with.

She was guarding herself against the evils and hurt of this world. Looking at her as she spoke, he could not detect any form of pain or sadness in her expressions.

"Don't worry. I will be your friend."
