Chapter 28 - A Quality Of Woman Worthy Of Efforts

Very patiently, Lu Jianjun reassures Little Tiger while gently rubbing his back. " She is fine! Nothing happened to her. You don't have to worry, she's all fine. Did you hear me? " Reluctantly, Little Tiger nodded his head and became quite and unmovable but these ȧssuring words didn't help to improve his depressing mood.

Lu Jianjun was a custom with Little Tiger's certain habits, depicting his mood swings. Like when he is normal or has a pretty good temper to deal with other people, then there's always a repetitive body movement which Little Tiger couldn't stop like flapping his leg or swaying left to right and a few others showing that he was tolerant enough to listen or been bothered.

Same as when Little Tiger has a bad or depressing mood, he'll turn quite and unmoveable while totally avoiding direct eye contacts and unwilling to listen to anyone.

Just like now, Little Tiger was stuck to his father's neck like fixed glue. His tiny hands circled around Lu Jianjun's neck as his chin rested on Lu Jianjun's shoulder. If Little Tiger's mood didn't recover then he won't let go of Lu Jianjun as there were times when Lu Jianjun has to keep him hugging like this until Little Tiger dozes off.

Even after reading dozens of books on parenting still, Lu Jianjun finds this baby boy challenging to raise.

Helpless, Lu Jianjun carried him to coax and they stood near the glass window wall from where East wing manor can be seen clearly.

Lu Jianjun said smoothly: "Little Tiger, I bring your m..."

Momentarily, Lu Jianjun paused in hesitation, unwilling to called Li Na his mother but resumed quickly. " I bring your mother home. She is resting in your room. She's still weak. Do you want to see her?"

She's home?

Subconsciously, his little hand reached out and touched the glass window as his eyes were fixed on one of the open windows of East wing's villa but then suddenly something strikes him as he slowly shook his head in denial.

But Little Tiger kept on staring in that direction, instead of happiness and joy, Little Tiger's eyes held his dying anticipation and unfilled hope for Li Na. He doesn't want to cry for her ever again.

She's hopeless for him!

In the past, no one knows, how much Little Tiger wanted Li Na to stay with him? So that he can see her every day, from each morning to every night. He wanted Li Na to teach him, play with him or at least smile at him. But that is impossible. Her heart will never melt for Little Tiger and that feels horrible.

Little Tiger was always given a choice to chose between Li Na and Lu Jianjun to spend his time with. As he never once saw both of them together or even face to face. He doesn't know why but his father is very repulsive towards the opposite gender.

Having a soft corner for his mother and curious to know more about her, every time Little Tiger choose Li Na over his father. Sadly, most of his time spent on waiting for her. Little Tiger invested his interest in the wrong person and now he lost all his hope and interest.

Meantime, Lu Jianjun tried to revive a light of hope and calmly said, "You can see her!"

In the next moment, Little Tiger pulled back his hand quickly. And shook his head firmly. His eyes were determined and firm.

The reason Lu Jianjun was worried about Li Na and stopped Elder Li's decision to erase Li Na's memory was because of Little Tiger otherwise, Lu Jianjun will be the most relieved person to know that Li Na had lost her memories and she can move on with her life. Li Na was too young when she had Little Tiger. Lu Jianjun still couldn't believe himself that there was a day in his life when he woke up and found a minor girl weeping in pain and thanks to Li Na, he spent an hour in prison. Amidst all and everything he did five years ago, he went to jail for sharing a bed with her.

Unbelievable he did that to her!

From that event... till today, Lu Jianjun couldn't understand whether he should blame Li Na or himself for what happened? And How the hell she got pregnant when he didn't even remember doing anything to her? It wasn't like he was drugged or completely lost his mind!

Although Lu Jianjun admits being drunk wearily, he was somewhat aware of his own actions then how could he possibly not remember forcing himself on her.

That was the most frightening thing ever happened to him.

Since then Madam Lu didn't talk to Lu Jianjun. A wedge drew in their relationship she couldn't believe her so-called gentlemen son is actually so immoral to force a minor girl. Before that, she knew Lu Jianjun was suffering and grieving but she can't forgive his crime. If not for Li Na's statement of denying that he rȧpėd her then Madam Lu would have definitely put her own son behind the bars.

Madam Lu still couldn't forgive him for bedding a minor.

If this incident with Li Na were known to the people close to Lu Jianjun, for sure nobody would believe that. Being distinctive and aloof, Lu Jianjun was far from the reach of elite girls. Where it was extremely rare for girls to get a glimpse of this charmer let alone, standing close to him. He wasn't allergic to girls but unadventurous. Sometimes...the issue is simply that their ceiling is his floor. He had a high standard for his woman to be, and that's not his fault. He was raised by an influential woman. Naturally, he refused to tolerate mediocrity although it was never an issue of money or status. Simply, a quality of woman worthy of his efforts.
