Playboy CEO Has a Baby

CHAPTER 425

"Hello," an elderly voice spoke.

"Hello, grandma. It's me. Your Mingming," Bai Ming said in a soft voice

"Mingming! Oh, my baby girl. How are you?" Grandma Bai asked.

"I am fine, grandma. I'm sorry that have not been able to call. Work is very hectic nowadays."

"Oh, it is no worry, child. I understand that you trying your best for the company which is taking your time. I am even surprised you have the same time to call this old woman," Grandma Bai was indeed understanding.

"How can say that, grandma? I will always create time if it is for you. You know that I love you," Bai Ming smiled.

"I know, sweet child. Thank you. I am so lucky to have you as a granddaughter."

"Me too. Uhm, grandma... are you at home with grandpa or are you guys out of the city again?" She asked.

She was well aware that the old couple would normally travel out for vacations. It was the wish of Bai Guiren as he wanted them to enjoy themselves.

<<Author: Yeah. Enjoying themselves with money that is not theirs.>>

"Yes, we are at home. But your grandfather is not here at the moment. He went out to see an old friend," Grandma Bai replied.

"Oh, okay. I thought I was going to see him when I came over but..."

Bai Ming sounded sad over the phone but deep down she was excited that grandpa Bai was not around. She could freely ask and convince her grandma to hand over her shares to her.

"Do not be as over that, my dear. I will tell you when next he is at home and you want to visit. I can even keep home for you, okay?" Grandma Bai tried to lift her mood.

"No... No, there is no need to do that. Don't trouble grandpa," Bai Ming refused, knowing that she did not want to see the old man. But grandma Bai would not have it.

"Nonsense, my dear. He ought to be there when his busy granddaughter makes time to come and visit. Leave it to your grandma, okay?"

"Okay, grandma. If you say so," Baj Ming agreed so that her refusal would not seem suspicious. "Alright, I am on my way to the mansion, grandma. Wait for me."

"Yes, yes. Come quick so that I can see your beautiful face again."

"Hmm. Bye, grandma."

As soon as her call ended, Bak Ming quickly left her office to the parking lot. Thankfully, this driver Bai Guiren had gotten for was not like the last one. He was always available when she wanted to go anywhere.

So without further delay, she got into the car before the driver locked the door. "Where would you like to go, young miss?" The driver asked as soon as he got settled in the driver's seat.

"Take me to the Bai ancestral mansion. Be quick about it," Bai Ming said.

"Yea, young miss."

~At the Bai ancestral mansion~

By the time Bai Ming arrived at the Bai Mansion, she saw four maids standing outside, waiting for her.

"Welcome, young miss," they bowed and greeted in unison.

Bai Ming nodded at their greeting. This was the treatment Bai Ming loved. It is another reason why she would only come here when her grandmother was around.

The maids and other workers respected her like she was the wife of the president. Also, she loved the fact that Bai Renxiang was not here with her. She would enjoy all these by herself.

As Bai Ming took elegant and majestic steps toward them, one of the maids took her purse while the other opened the door for her and the rest just followed behind her like her loyal pets.

When they got inside the house, which was now warmer than outside, another maid took off her outer coat for her. She continued her steps further into the house until she spotted grandma Bai fitted on one of the couches, gently sipping from a teacup in her hands.

"Grandma," Bai Ming called out softly.

"Ah! Look at my beautiful flower," Grandma Bai smiled brightly at her.

Bai Ming went to hug her before sitting beside her. "I missed you, grandma," she said.

"Me too. Hmm, you are looking a bit skinny. Are you working too much and neglecting your meals?" Grandma Bai asked with a slight frown.

"Hehehe. No, grandma. I am not neglecting any of my meals. Yisheng would not hear of it. Even mum and dad would not," Bai Ming chuckled.

"Who is Yisheng again?"

"Don't tell me you have forgotten about my boyfriend, grandma?" Bai Ming pouted.

"Oh! Of course, I have not forgotten. Hmm, that boy cares for you very well, huh. Why don't you two just get engaged and tie the knot already?"

"Grandma, marriage is a big step. We are both not ready for that yet," she blushed.

"Hmm."

Just then, a maid brought a train of tea and cookies for Bai Ming. After she left, the old lady and Bai Ming chatted for quite a long time.

Bi Ming did not immediately go straight to the point of her visit. She did not want grandma Bai to think that she only created time to call and visit her for only that purpose. Although that was indeed the case.

Bai Ming wanted it to seem as if she came here majority because she missed grandma Bai and then along the way, she could carry on with her plan. Even though she was scared of the possibility that grandfather Bai could just come back to the mansion at any moment, Bai Ming still took chances.

Sigh.

"What is wrong, my dear? This is like the nth time you are sighing. Is something weighing on your mind?" Grandma Bai asked out of concern.

"It is nothing grandma," Bai Ming shook her head and forced out a small smile.

"Tell me. I am your grandmother," she insisted.

"It's just that... well, it's just that I need more shares of the company."
