CHAPTER 164

"Just those. What about her looks? And her smile? And her figure? And whatnot," Mrs Yi asked not feeling satisfied with her son's comment.

She thought he has moved on from his feelings for Bai Renxiang. That was why she wasbtapy he brought a girl home for dinner saying that she is his close friend from work. Mrs Yi had started to see a ray of hope for her son's fragile heart when she noticed how that Wei Ruolan looks at her son. 

But her son in question dis not notice it. How would he when all he see is Bai Renxiang? Although Mrs Yi would have loved it if Bai Renxiang becomes her daughter-in-law. She loves Bai Renxiang even if she already has a child. At least she would have a grandchild that would disturb her at home when the parents were out for work.

But since Bai Renxiang dies not feel the same way her son, Yi Minsheng feels for her, there was nothing she could do. It is not as if she would go and beg or force her to love him, will she? Of course not. She is still reasonable.

"Mum, Wei Ruolan and I are just close friends and that is it. Nothing more," Yi Minsheng said as he now understood why his mother has been driving at.

"Sigh. Alright. But it would be nice to free your heart, you know. Because I can see that you are still not over Bai Renxiang," she said.

"Yeah mum. It is hard to get over my feelings for her. I will try because she wants me to. But do not expect me to start liking someone else so quickly, okay?"

"Okay. My baby has grown so much that he has started loving a woman. I am so proud of you honey," she said and chuckled.

"Yeah. So you should stop scolding or punishing me now that I am all grown up. And also, stop calling me those pet names when another person is here," he suggested.

"Oh alright. I will try to do that. Are you happy now?" She asked.

"Very happy." He said with a cheeky smile.

"Mum!"

"Hmm."

"Renxiang cares for right? Otherwise, she would have turned me down harshly and would not even advice me to stop loving her. Maybe she would have been avoiding me," he asked.

"Hmm. But do not let that thought that of she cares for you get into your head and make you believe that she loves you the way you love her. Do you understand?" Mrs Yi made sure he hit that fact.

"I understand mum. I just want to be clear if she still likes me as a friend. Just like when she and aunt Jiang first arrived here," he explained.

"Yes. She still sees you as a friend. So man up and channel all your love to someone else out there waiting to be loved by you, Yi Minsheng."

"And when you finally love another, please do not leave let her down. If you decide to spend the rest of your life with her, please do not leaver her. Be truthful and loyal to only her and no one else, okay?" She advised.

"Yes mum. I promise to cherish that woman all my life even in death. I promise to not be like dad," he said the last softly as he gave his mother a comforting look.

"Alright then. I believe in you," she smiled back at him.

Meanwhile, after Bai Renxiang went into Shin and Shane's apartment, she did not see anybody in the living. Then she decided to call him out.

"Bai Xiaojin! Shane!"

SILENCE

"Hello! Is anybody home? Shane! Bai Xiaojin come on out," she shouted.

"Bai Xiaojin. Honey come out. I will not do anything to you, okay?" She said.

Soon she heard footsteps approaching the living. She turned towards the source and saw a sleepy Shane, rubbing his eyes like a cat that had just woken up from a deep sleep.

"Sis?! What are you doing here? You should have called if you wanted something," he said after he let out a yawn.

"Were you asleep?" Bai Renxiang asked in disbelief.

"Yeah. I was so tired after we came back so after a quick bath, I jumped right into bed," he said.

"How could you fall asleep and leave your door unlocked? What if someone came in and stole from you or kidnap you?" She asked.

"That will never happen. And if it by any chance happens, that person will have a taste of my awaken fury. This get bad when you disturb a sleeping man like myself," Shane said as he threw a few punches in the air. 

Bai Renxiang chuckled at his words and actions. He was right though. Shane is a person that gets mad when you wake him up half way through his sleeping journey. He may look fragile and all. But behind all that facade, is real danger.

"Anyway, that is not why I came here."

"Then why did you come sis," Shane asked as he walked into the kitchen and straight to the refrigerator.

"You want some yoghurt?" He asked.

"No, thank you," she declined politely. "I acted came to get Bai Xiaojin," she added.

Shane's hands that was about to raise the cup of yoghurt to his lips paused. He looked at her with confusion in his eyes and face.

"But Little Jin is not here," he said.

"He is because I saw him run into this apartment while a certain someone left him a door unlock while he was asleep," she glared at him.

Shane could not believe it but he said ended up snickering. That kid is really turning something else. He shook her s head and took a sip from the cup.

"Well he can be in any room then. Little Jin had turned into such a naughty kid, has he not?" He asked randomly.

"Yeah I guess.. He ran out if the house because he wanted to eat something different from what I made for dinner."
