Chapter 118 - His Woman Is With Me

Guangzhou, China…

Bai Jingye was sitting in the backseat of a car, reading a file through his tab. While doing so, he suddenly received a message from Han Yizhou.

[She gave birth today.]

The moment he read those words, he tapped on the message notification and went directly to the chat board.

Before he could even reply, another message balloon popped out. 

[Bai Keran and your mother are here.]

They were… in Japan? Why hasn't he heard this from anyone? He was not notified about their departure at all. Has Bai Keran seen through their plans? No, that was impossible.

Before he could even give Han Yizhou a reply, the sound of tires screeching against the ground was heard. Bai Jingye even dropped the tablet he was holding at the sudden movement of the car. 

A crash was heard next but it didn't come from them.

"Mr. Bai, are you alright?!" His assistant asked, his face full of worry.

Bai Jingye picked the tablet from the floor before he calmly asked, "what happened?"

It was the driver who noticed the other car's terrible state when it crashed against the railings of the side. He took off his seatbelt and rushed out of the vehicle.

"Master, this doesn't look good! What should we do?"

Both Bai Jingye and his assistant went out just so he could check the other car as well. His eyes widened in shock when he saw a woman inside. Her raven hair was covering her face but her arms were both covered in cuts and wounds. "Let's get her to the hospital."

His assistant hurriedly went to get the woman out of the car. "She's heavily injured! She's losing too much blood!" His assistant said in panic after placing her on the ground.

"Move." The man gazed down at the body of the unconscious woman and saw that most of her bleeding came from a wound on her stomach.

He knelt and tore his sleeves. After tying it around her waist, he pressed the wound to apply pressure on it. "We can't stay here for long! Let's go, she needs to be treated as soon as possible!"

Bai Jingye brought the woman in his car and they all left in a hurry.



"Doctor Tang, how is she?" Bai Jingye asked. His suit and hands were covered in blood.

"Her condition is stable, Mr. Bai. If you brought her later, I'm afraid we couldn't save her."

Bai Jingye couldn't help but sigh in relief. Now that he recognized who the woman was, it only gave him more reason to save her. It was a good thing that he decided to bring her to the doctor's Tang place instead of the hospital. His place was closer to where the accident happened.

"This woman..." Doctor Tang trailed off.

"She is the lover of a business partner of mine." 

"Mr. Bai, should I cancel your appointment with Mr. Shi?" His assistant asked.

"No. Tell him to come here. His woman is with me."

When it came to the business industry, everyone knew Lu Weichun's face. She was the daughter of the famous Lu Yifeng and she has been showing her face a lot in public. She had her internship under Shi Yi and during that time, Bai Jingye had already seen her, following Shi Yi as his assistant. Because of their closeness and how Shi Yi easily got jealous, Bai Jingye had already found out their real relationship. When he recognized her back then inside the car, he instantly knew what to do.

...

It didn't take long before Shi Yi, Shi Enxi's older brother, arrived at Doctor Tang's place.

He was led to the room where Lu Weichun was recovering. He saw her on the bed, unconscious. Beside the bed was the IV drip.

Shi Yi turned to Bai Jingye, his eyes full of gratitude for what he did for Lu Weichun.

"Mr. Bai, thank you for saving her. I am indebted to you. If you need anything, just let me know."

Bai Jingye inwardly smirked. Never have he seen him act this way. "I only did it out of the goodness of my heart but if you say that, then I will remember your words."

"I don't think we have the time to talk about our companies right now." Bai Jingye took a glance at his wristwatch. "I have a flight to Japan tonight."

He had to go back now that the old man was there. He was sure that things won't get easy for Lu Mengjie so he needed to go back and help her. He eyes his assistant to which he nodded before he handed the files to his boss.

"You can take a look at this. If you agree with it, then you can just sign it up. I don't think there will be many discussions on this contract. It is beneficial for both of us.."

Shi Yi accepted the file and scanned it. Just like Bai Jingye said, there was no problem with the contract for the new collaborations of a product. Even if that was the case, he wasn't planning on signing it all at once. He was a careful person, he just inspected it so he might end up missing an important part of he hasn't read it properly. "I can't sign this now but I will email it to you after I'm done going through this."

Bai Jingye thought that he was able to take advantage of the situation but it looked like Shi Yi was still careful as ever despite half of his thoughts were worrying about his lover's wellbeing.

"Alright." Bai Jingye smiled. "You can just email it to me. I will be taking my leave now."

When he suddenly remembered something, he paused from his tracks, turning back to the other man. "You should take care of your woman. The people after her could be after you too so you should watch your back."

After all, love only weakens a person. Having feelings for someone would only ruin things for him.

...

"Mr. Bai, Madam has called. She said that your wife has successfully given birth to a son."

Bai Jingye's expressionless face remained the same even after hearing what his assistant said.

Just like usual, his boss really cared less for his wife. Zhao Lei, Bai Jingye's assistant, knew that he was just forced to marry his current wife because of his grandfather's request. If not for Bai Jingye's grandfather, he would have married the woman he loved, Tian Ruyi. At least that was what he thought, not knowing their real relationship.

Bai Jingye's phone rang and when he looked at the caller ID, his eyes turned colder. He knew that the person who was currently calling him was not Lu Mengjie. She was not the type of person to call. She preferred chatting in the group chat they shared with Tian Ruyi.

He handed his phone to Zhao Lei. "Tell Mengxi I'm busy."

"Yes, sir."
