CHAPTER 123

In the Li mansion.

"Honey stop worrying too much about him. He is doing fine," Mr Li said.

He was tired of seeing her pace to and fro in their room, checking her phone and constantly letting out a frustrated sigh. She had been doing this since her last conversation with Li Fengjin which was when he arrived at City S.

Since then he had not called or even text that he was doing well. It got her worried that when she decided to call his assistant instead but she realized that it was not Wang Tingxiao that was with her son but the second assistant and she did not have his phone number.

It did not slip her mind to ask for it from Wang Tingxiao either because of her worries. So she troubled her husband to call their son. Her mind were beginning to have all sorts of negative thoughts.

"I can't stop worrying about my child Li Tingzhe. If you can, I can't. I am a mother for goodness sake Zhe. You can't expect me to calm down when I have not heard from my son," she lashed out at her relaxed husband.

Mr Li was surprised at the severity of his wife's worries. It was rare for her to raise her voice except she is really agitated or angry. He could only sigh as he removed his glasses he was wearing and dropped the book he was reading.

Mr Li walked up to his wife and held her so that she would stop moving about. He hugged her and rubbed her rubbed her back in an up and down slow motion to calm her nerves as he rested his chin lightly on her head.

"What if something bad has happened to our son, Zhe? We have to call him. You have to call him. Call him now. If something happens to him and we receive a call later, I will never forgive you," she threatened.

"That will never happen, okay. Nothing will happen to our son. He has his bodyguards with him twenty-four seven and they will ensure to keep him safe," he said.

"But-"

"But if it helps in calming you down, I will call him right now. But first you have to seat down and have a glass of water."

Mrs Li agreed and allowed herself to be guided to their bed. She sat down and collected the glass of water from her husband. Mr Li called Li Fengjin only after she had drank the water.

Ring! Ring!

"Hello."

"So you are alive, huh. You brat! You did not even bother to call your mother all through the week. Do you want her to die of anxiety?" Mr Li Tingzhe's angry voice rang out loud into Li Fengjin's ears from the phone.

Li Fengjin moved his phone away before he goes deaf due to his father's loud voice. He sighed as soon as he remembered that he had really not called his sweetheart for a long time. She must be worried.

Meanwhile Mrs Li grabbed his pijamas' shirt making him turn to her only to meet with her glare.

'Do not shout at him,' she whispered quietly. Mr Li rolled his eyes at her. She was the one raising her voice at him earlier and she dies not want him to do the same with their son. He nodded and spoke again.

"Are you playing quiet card now? Answer me you dimwit," Mr Li raised his voice a little lower than before.

"Sigh. If you are through with stretching your lungs you will give the phone to my mother. She is the one that has the right to scold me and not you, you old man" Li Fengjin playfully irked his father.

"You brat. I will your lack of respect for me slide because your mother is here sulking and also yanking my clothes. Now speak with her," Mr Li said before he passed the phone to his wife.

"Hello sweetheart," Li Fengjin called but was met with silence.

He sighed. This was how she would behave when he does not call her. It was not her fault and he understood. Any mother would be worried if their child traveled away from home and the last time they had talked was when their child arrive at his or her destination.

"I am sorry for not calling you. I just had too many stuffs to do that is why. Apart from this there is no other reason to have. So can you forgive me? Please," he sincerely said.

After few seconds of silence, Mrs Li spoke up in a low sad voice.

"Are those other stuffs more important than your mum?" Is the only sentence she said.

"No, they are definitely not," he answered.

"You have done this so many times now Li Fengjin. I would have called your second assistant but I do not have his number," she said in a displeased voice.

"It is not so many. This is just the second time that I forgot to call you," he sighed.

"Does it matter? You should be ashamed of making your mother worried. Then later, you will open you sugar mouth and call me sweetheart," she scolded him.

"Hahaha. Alright I am at fault. I am very sorry for not calling. I will remember to call you everyone I get a chance to."

"That does not sound good enough. When you get a chance is not good enough. Are you leaving up to your playboy image that you built for yourself?"

0_0

"Listen to me now. Just because you are 'well' does not give you the right to ignore me because you make yourself busy with the ladies you play with."

"What? I do not sleep around mum. I will never do that and you know," she shook his head.

"Sigh... Alright I will give you a call every morning, afternoon and evening before going to bed."

"That's better. Have you found your dream woman?"
