CHAPTER 285

After spending enough time with Bai Renxiang, her son and her mother, Li Fengjin decided to leave.

To be honest he did not want to leave her at all. But he had to. It would be awkward if he still stays at her house. He has already stayed enough.

Bidding his goodbye, he let Bai Renxiang walk him out. On getting to the door, he stopped and told her to go in.

"What? Why? I want to see you off," Bai Renxiang said.

"I want you to see me off too but you have a wound in your smooth thigh, okay? I love that thigh and I do not want anything else to happen to it," Li Fengjin disagreed.

"You sound weird. But I still want to see you off. Please," she begged with puppy eyes and a cute pout.

"No, please. Do not give me that face. I can't resist it but I have to," he closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "If you do not stop making that face, I will kiss you," Li Fengjin threatened.

"Gasp. Are you threatening me?" Bai Renxiang asked.

"No, I am not. I am just looking out. If I let you escort me down to my car, you would be the only one coming back up. I can't take the risk. Your security is my first priority. So, please understand," he tried to make her see his reason.

"Sigh. You are being too protective of me."

"I wish I was protective earlier. Nothing would have happened to you," Li Fengjin said in a slightly angry, regretful and sad tone.

"Hey. It is over now. You can still be protective now," Bai Renxiang said as she caressed his cheeks.

"Hmm

That is why you need to go back inside. I promise to call you when I get home."

"Okay. Have a safe drive back and good night, sweetheart," she pecked him on his cheek.

"Hmm. Good night my love."

Just as Li Fengjin placed a light kiss on Bai Renxiang's forehead, Yi Minsheng stepped out of the elevator. He stopped in his tracks as he watch the love between the couple a few steps away from where he stood.

Bai Renxiang was surprised to see him while Li Fengjin raised a brow at the guy.

'This guy took the rejection hard. He looks like a mess,' Li Fengjin thought.

Yi Minsheng averted his gaze from Li Fengjin to Bai Renxiang. He then reminded himself that he needed to be happy for Bai Renxiang since she was happy with Li Fengjin.

He reminded himself that it was best if the contact between each other was minimised to the lowest. Yi Minsheng took a deep breath and continued walking. He did not spare a glance at the two people standing opposite the door to his home.

Without a word, he inputed the password and the door unlocked. Yi Minsheng twisted the doorknob, pushed the door and quietly stepped into his apartment.

BANG

A slight loud sound from the door drew Li Fengjin and Bai Renxiang out of their trance. Bai Renxiang sighed and looked away from the door where Yi Minsheng disappeared into.

"Don't worry too much. Go in and get a good rest," Li Fengjin said.

"Hmm," Bai Renxiang just nodded.

"I love you. Good night."

"I love you too and good night."

Li Fengjin stood by the four until Bai Renxiang walked in and shut it behind her. He sighed before he left the corridor to the elevator.

????

Inside Yi Minsheng's apartment.

As soon as Yi Minsheng stepped foot into the apartment, his mother's voice ran out in the brightly lit living room.

"Where have you been?" Mrs Yi asked.

"Nowhere," Yi Minsheng said plainly and walked to his room.

"Stop right there young man. Who do you think you are talking to? Your girlfriend?" Mrs Yi commanded.historical

Yi Minsheng stopped and sighed. He knew he was on for it today. But he honestly did not want to stay and let her lecture him. He was exhausted.

"I asked where you have been this whole time from late morning till a few minutes to eight this evening," she repeated.

"I just went on a drive, okay?" He answered impatiently.

"What is wrong with you? Look at me when I am talking to you."

"I'm, please. Just stop it already. I am not in the rest state of mind to bear your scolding. I just need to eat and go to bed," Yi Minsheng said when he turned to look at her.

"Oh, really? All I need is to sleep and eat," she mimicked his voice in a funny way. "So you now remember that you are only a human being that needs food and rest, huh? How come you did not think of that when you drove off to God knows where," Mrs Yi raised her voice.

"Sigh. I just said I am not in the mood to deal with... You. So, drop it already."

Yi Minsheng was getting angry. He just wanted to lay his head on his pillow and think of how his life is going to be from now on. But it turns out his mother would not have it.

"I will not drip anything, you rude brat. Come here this instant and tell me why you and Bai Renxiang have said your 'goodbyes'. What happen when you guys talked in private?" Mrs Yi asked.

"Nothing. We said our goodbye and that is all," Yi Minsheng half lied and half told the truth.

They did say their goodbyes but that was not what pat happened. He did not tell her what made them say their goodbyes.

"Don't lie to me. I said come here and sit down. I will not allow you to go to bed looking like that and probably turn all cold and quiet when you wake up tomorrow," Mrs Yi said as she ed the empty space beside her.

"I asked her to think carefully about her relationship with that playboy of a boyfriend she has."
