Chapter 124 The Birth of a Child
Headquarters of Lily of the Valley European Design, UK.
tuk tuk-
Suddenly there was a crisp knock on the door.
"Mr. An, may I come in?" A sweet and clear female voice sounded at the door of the CEO's office.
"Please come in."
With the answer, the white and slender hand gently pushed the door open, and the slender high-heeled shoes stepped on the marble floor, making a crisp sound.Hearing footsteps, An Chenyi, who was processing files in front of the computer, suddenly raised his head.
He was wearing a well-tailored white suit, and his tall and handsome figure looked even more charming against the backdrop of the suit.The face is well-defined, the eyes are deep, and the color of the eyes is a touch of golden yellow. He can't hide a royal aristocratic temperament with his gestures. This Chinese-English mixed-race man is the president of Lily of the Valley European Design Company - An Chenyi.
"Mr. An, here is the design draft you want." The woman put a stack of colored sketch design drafts in front of An Chenyi.
"My deadline is three days. There's no need for Miss Yiyi to hand over the design draft to me in such a hurry." An Chenyi said in Mandarin with a foreign accent.
That's right, the woman standing in front of An Chenyi is exactly Bai Yiyi who disappeared abroad.
She has delicate light makeup on her pretty face, and her long jet-black hair is curled and curled over her shoulders; she is wearing a slim-fit black and white professional suit, and a pair of flesh-colored stockings under a black skirt, which accentuate her fair legs Slender, with a pair of pure black high heels on her feet, she is an elegant and capable professional woman.
"I understand that handing over the design draft within two days is what I ask of myself." Bai Yiyi smiled brightly.
Yes, she has to work harder than ordinary people to support her and Bai Yiran.
Yiran——is the name she gave her son.
In the year she came to the UK, she gave birth to the child in her womb prematurely.
Although Shen Ye was so cruel to her that day, he hit her abdomen hard with his knee, trying to destroy the unborn little life.But maybe it was God's blessing. After several hours of rescue, the child was finally saved.
"Miss Yiyi's hard work impresses me."
As An Chenyi said, he picked up the design draft submitted by Bai Yiyi, flipped through it, and then raised his eyes, his eyes were full of admiration and approval, "Miss Yiyi, your designs always make my eyes shine. Sure enough, you are right, you are very talented in fashion design."
"Boss An is overwhelmed." Hearing that the head of the famous Lily of the Valley European Design Corporation spoke highly of herself, Bai Yi's eyes didn't show much emotion, "If it's okay, I'll go out first."
As soon as Bai Yi turned around to leave, An Chenyi suddenly stopped her.
"Miss Yiyi, do you have time tomorrow night? I'll treat you to dinner."
"Boss An, I'm sorry, I still have things to do." Bai Yiyi saluted politely, then turned and walked out of the room.
Looking at the re-closed door, An Chenyi shook his head in frustration and smiled wryly.
If he remembered correctly, this was the seventh time that Bai Yiyi had rejected his invitation.With his status, he has never tasted failure in a woman, Bai Yiyi is the only exception.
What puzzled him was that a woman who was only in her 20s could be so busy that she didn't even have time for a date?
As soon as Bai Yi walked towards her desk, although she wanted to dodge it deliberately, the whispers around her still reached her ears.
"It's just a novice who has only been in the company for a few months. Why does he always show his face in front of Mr. An?"
"That's right, just because I have some good looks, I want to seduce Boss An, I'm overestimating my capabilities!"
"Hey, keep your voice down, she heard you!"
"So what if you hear it? Don't be afraid of being criticized if you have the guts to do it! I hate this kind of woman who is eager to get ahead by unspoken rules. It makes people sick to watch..."
The office is the place where there is no lack of gossip, there are people who eat melons, isn't it?Bai Yi turned a deaf ear to the harsh words of her colleagues, her face was as calm as ever, and no ripples could be seen.
A person who has experienced life and death is like being reborn, and these low-level gossips can no longer knock her down.
Her heart has become different from before, now she is strong and stubborn, she just wants to work hard to earn money and give Bai Yiran the best life.As for other things, what does it have to do with her?
After a day's work, what I look forward to most when I get home from get off work is a big hug from my son.
"However, are you being good today?"
Bai Yi picked up his son one by one, then turned to ask the smiling nanny standing beside him.
"However, he is very obedient. He is in good spirits today. We even went to the park to play for a while."
Bai Yi fondled his son's soft hair, "Of course it's awesome!"
"Mum, if you're so good, can there be a reward?" asked in a soft voice.
"of course can."
"Then when can Mommy take Ranran to the amusement park?" The child in her arms opened her beautiful big eyes and asked Bai Yiyi expectantly.
Bai Yiyi was a little dazed, and then a soreness rose in his heart, mixed with sadness and guilt.
It has been four years, from the time Bai Yiran was born to the present, she has never taken him to an amusement park once.
because……
Because although he was lucky enough to keep the child in his belly back then, it also brought greater suffering to the child.
Bai Yiran was born prematurely.He was born with a very weak body and suffered from congenital heart disease. Even the doctor said that the child would not be able to support him.
But Bai Yiran didn't believe it, since God let Bai Yiran be born, there was no reason to take it back.
In the year when Bai Yiran was born, she focused almost all her thoughts on him, and never left him for a moment.Although it was extremely difficult that year, thanks to the help of He Lin, she did not lose any hope.
Finally, under her wholehearted care, Bai Yiran survived. Even though his body was not comparable to that of a normal baby, he had made great progress.
Because of a congenital heart defect, Bai Yiran couldn't run and jump like a normal child, let alone do strenuous exercise. He could only stay quietly and watch the other children happily playing.
"Of course..." Bai Yiyi's throat was a little choked up, and she hugged her son even tighter, "Mom promises that she will definitely take Ranran to the amusement park."
"Then, when are we going, Mommy?" asked the immature childish voice.
"Wait until Ranran's fifth birthday."
"Really?" There was hope in his big eyes.
"Really." Bai Yiyi nodded vigorously.
After bathing his son and coaxing him to sleep, Bai Yiyi felt tired.
She lay on the head of the bed, watching the little person on the bed breathing evenly, with an innocent smile on his sleeping face, and tears suddenly filled her eyes.
Bai Yiran looks a lot like Shen Ye.
Although the contours of the face were very thin, the almost identical lines and the black and fine hair still made Bai Yiyi's heart ache.
She happened to have such a child with the man she hated so much.
……
"Bai Yiyi, Boss An asked you to stay after get off work."
Bai Yiyi, who was about to pack up his things and go home from get off work, stopped what he was doing, and looked at Mr. An's secretary, Ms. Zhao, with some surprise.
"Excuse me... what's the matter for Boss An?" She just wanted to get home from get off work early to accompany Ranran, because she promised to make him a bear cake when she went out in the morning.
"I don't know. You can ask yourself!" Ms. Zhao said, turned her head and walked away.No one in this company likes her, naturally including Mr. An's accompanying secretary, Ms. Zhao.
Hearing the unkindness in Miss Zhao's tone, Bai Yiyi stroked his forehead with some headaches, then stood up and walked towards the CEO's office.
"Boss An, are you looking for me?"
Pushing open the door of the president's office, Bai Yiyi was very surprised.The lights in the office were not turned on, and even the tall and transparent floor-to-ceiling windows were tightly covered by curtains.
Seeing that no one answered, Bai Yiyi yelled again, "Mr. An? Are you there?"
Could it be that he has gone home?Just as Bai Yi was wondering, a little light suddenly lit up in the room.
The light was very small, like the gleam of a tiny star.
Then came the second, third, fourth...
Countless small lights lit up one after another, and in an instant, the entire room was filled with these lights, and at first glance, it seemed like stars twinkling in the sky.
Bai Yi was stunned when she saw it. Before she had time to react, a candle light lit up in the middle of the room. The candle light vaguely showed the outline of a person, and that person was An Chenyi.
An Chenyi, dressed in a high-end white suit, walked towards Bai Yiyi holding a candle-lit thousand-layer cake.
"Happy birthday, Miss Yiyi." An Chenyi stood still in front of her, and handed the cream cake decorated with roses to Bai Yiyi.
"Miss Yiyi, you can blow out the candles and make a wish. I heard that wishes made on birthdays will be especially effective." Seeing that Bai Yiyi didn't respond, An Chenyi reminded.
"Mr. An, you... How do you know that today is my birthday?" Bai Yiyi was indeed shocked by An Chenyi's actions.
Ever since Bai Yiran was born, he has become Bai Yiyi's everything.She remembered her son's birthday clearly, but ignored her own.
"Your resume is here, I want to know your information, it's easy."
After An Chenyi finished speaking, he added: "But Miss Yiyi, don't think too much. Although I can find out any information about you, I will never peep into your personal privacy. After all, I am also half British. Good gentleman."
From the first day he joined the company, Bai Yiyi knew that An Chenyi had a crush on him.But because she really needed such a high-paying job to bear her son's medical expenses, she turned a blind eye to An Chenyi's pursuit.
As long as she doesn't break it, the status quo will be fine.
"Boss An, thank you for your hard work." Bai Yiyi smiled.
"Then, hurry up and blow out the candles! I'm still waiting to eat Miss Yiyi's birthday cake!"
Bai Yi bent down and blew out the candle in one go.Then, she clasped her hands together, closed her eyes, and silently made a wish in her heart.
"Okay, now we can eat cake." Bai Yi smiled as soon as he finished making his wish.
After eating the cake from the CEO's office, it was already late at night, Bai Yiyi rejected An Chenyi's proposal to send him home.She was standing on the side of the neon-flashing road, ready to take a taxi home.
Suddenly, a blue Ferrari stopped in front of her.
The window rolled down, and she saw a familiar face.
"It's so late, why are you here?" Bai Yiyi asked in surprise.
