CHAPTER 165

"Little Jin had turned into such a naughty kid, hasn't he?" Shane asked.

"Yeah I guess. He ran out of the house because he wanted to eat something different from what I made for dinner," Bai Renxiang said with a pout.

"What? Since when has he been picky with food?"

"Well since a few minutes ago... I guess," she massaged her temples.

"You should have seen what he did in the living room and with the papers I brought from work," she added.

"I would love to see that. Little Jin throwing tantrums is unbelievable and since you have evidence I, Shane will be honoured to see it first hand," he said and laughed.

"It is not funny Shane." She folded her arms and glared daggers at Shane. If eyes could kill, he would have dropped dead in a pool of his own blood.

"Sigh. I just want to find him right now and-"

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The running of feet could be heard and with each thud, the noise became louder. It sound like someone is... running! Bai Renxiang rushed out of the kitchen towards the living room to see that Bai Xiaojin had almost reached the door.

"Gasp. You little rascal," she shouted as she lunged towards Bai Xiaojin with full speed shocking both Bai Xiaojin and Shane.

Before any of the two of them could come out of their shock, Bai Renxiang caught Bai Xiaojin in a firm grip.

"I got you now you little sneaky brat," she said. Bai Xiaojin screamed like a little girl when his mother caught and lifted him off the ground in one swift motion. He quickly tightened his grip on her to avoid falling by mistake.

Shane covers his ears due to the loud scream of Bai Xiaojin. Gosh. Does this kid have super sonic voice? His ear drums are already hurting. Meanwhile, Bai Renxiang cringed at Bai Xiaojin's scream as she is closer to him so it affected her more. She quickly placed Bai Xiaojin on the nearest sofa and scratched her ears as if doing so would soothe it.

Taking their distraction as a cue, Bai Xiaojin jumped down from the sofa and continued running towards the door to escape. He had come so close to succeeding in his escape only for his mother to catch him. He was very determined to reach that door, pull the door knob and run out of the apartment and maybe call his grandma for help.

But who would have thought that his escape was never possible from the very beginning. He did succeed in getting to the door but, no matter how hard he tried to pull the door knob, the door did not bulge. It was locked. Then it dawned on him that he is doomed to be punished.

Bai Renxiang smirked as she remembered that she had locked the door after she stepped into the apartment. She walked slowly towards her disappointed son and once she got close to him, she squatted and tapped lightly on his shoulders.

Bai Xiaojin stiffened on the spot and slowly turned to face his mother. Bai Renxiang raised a brow at his scared action. She sighed and removed the strands of hair that fell scattered over his forehead.

"You know you do not have to be so scared after causing so much trouble in the house and in this place," she simply said.

But those words made Bai Xiaojin gulped as he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand on edge. It was as if a cold breeze brushed along his spine making him shiver unconsciously.

"Come on sis. You are scaring the poor kid. Cut him some slacks and let him off just this once. Please," Shane pleaded on Bai Xiaojin's behalf.

Bai Renxiang turned and sent flying daggers to Shane with her eyes. Shane immediately held back the words that were about to slip out from his lips seeing that deadly glare thrown his way. He made a hand gesture implying that his lips were fully zipped and pinned.

Bai Renxiang turned her eyes back on the little naughty boy that now had his hands behind him with his heads bowed. Bai Renxiang wanted to pay his head and say she was not angry with him anymore but she wanted to keep up the act of a strict mum a little.

"Bai Xiaojin!" Bai Renxiang called.

"Yes, mummy," he answered meekly.

"Do you know what you did wrong?" She asked as she stated intently at him.

"Yes, mummy," he nodded.

"Then since you know what you did, I suppose you also have an idea of how I should deal with you," she stated but instead if receiving an answer like before, she was met with silence in Bai Xiaojin's end. She sighed.

"Bai Xiaojin, I am supposed to get an answer from you not silence. How do you think I should punish you?" She asked again.

"But you said you wanted me to act a little soiled sometimes. Why do you want me to tell you what punishment I should be given?" He said with a pout as he looked at her.

"0_0"

Bai Renxiang was stunned. Is this the reason why he acted like that? Is it because she wanted him to act spoiled? Bai Renxiang could only sigh.

"So that is the reason why threw tantrums. Hmm. Sounds logical to me," Shane said.

"Oh my love. I understand what you did but scattering my works papers all over the living room was not nice at all. And besides that, I promised to make what you wanted tomorrow evening. Also when I said you should act spoiled, I did not be go beserk, okay?"

"Okay. I am sorry for scattering mummy's work papers," he quickly apologized before his mother still insist on punishing him

"Alright. I forgive you, my love. There is no need to be scared anymore because mummy has forgiven you a long time back."

"I knew it.. My mummy can never punish me."
