CHAPTER 535

Tightening his grip around her waist Li Fengjin shook his head and said, "I won't let you go anywhere."

"It is not your decision to make."

"I know it isn't. But please just... I'm sorry. I should not have brought up the scandal. I knew it would hurt but yet I still let it slip out. But now I regret everything. I regret all my words and. I should have never allowed Yue Jing to even touch me. So please, forgive me," Li Fengjin let all those words out in one go.

He did not intend to let her go without hearing everything.

"Yue Jing?" Bai Renxiang repeated the name she heard. When she saw him nodding, her eyes widened for a few seconds as she remained silent.

"Renxiang." He called.

"So she is Yue Jing. The girl you used to date back in your highschool days? The girl who broke up with you because you were not to her taste?" Bai Renxiang asked questions upon questions.

Li Fengjin could only nod. He lifted his face from her stomach to gaze up at her. "I told her nothing can ever happen between us. I told her that I would never go back to her because of you, Renxiang. I love you and only you."

Tears that Bai Renxiang thought her eyes could no longer pour came flooding. She did not know what to feel or what to say.

But seeing how red and teary-eyed Li Fengjin looked as he gazed up at her, she felt guilty. She felt hurt because she knew he was hurt. Or was it just because she has never seen him like this before?

"But she... You..."

"We never kissed," Li Fengjin said as if he could read her mind. "That was just an act. She tried but I evaded it. I already told you before, remember?"

"I–"

"My whole being is yours and yours is mine. I would never let anyone have me. Any part of me at all. So that kiss..." He paused and shook his head. "There was and will never be a kiss between me and some other woman. So please, believe me."

Bai Renxiang broke into sobs. She placed her right palm over her mouth and the other on his shoulder. The guilt she felt was too much.

"I'm sorry too. I should not have doubted you. I should have had a little more trust in you. In your love for me. I should have believed you knowing that she has been after you. I am so sorry," she apologised.

"Hey, it's okay. Don't be sorry. You were too hurt to think straight. So don't apologise," Li Fengjin said.

"No," Bai Renxiang shook her head. "I am the one at fault. You had every right to be mad, Jin. I'm sorry."

Li Fengjin let out a helpless sigh. He stood up from the sofa and held her trembling shoulder.

"Tsk," he clicked his tongue. "You are such a cry baby. Fine then. If you think you are in the wrong, alright. But I want you to do two things before I can forgive you."

Bai Renxiang sniffed and nodded for him to name his condition. If she could do anything to make him forgive her and also rid her of the guilt she was feeling, then she would do it. As far as it is for him and their relationship, she would accept it.

"Forgive me first and then stop feeling guilty," he states his conditions. "

Bai Renxiang was quite confused. He should be mad at her right? Why was asking for this?

"I want you to do those two because I was wrong first before you. And as the man between us I should have exmained things better and act wiser. You don't have to feel guilty too because to be honest, I would have felt and maybe acted the same way you did," Li Fengjin explained.

"I-I forgive... I forgive you and I love you so so much, Jin," Bai Renxiang did as he wanted.

Li Fengjin showed a small smile before pulling her closer for a hug. "I forgive and love you too."

Bai Renxiang instantly tightened her hands around his waist. It was finally over. The slight detachment in their relationship almost turned in a huge gap. Thank God they fixed things quickly.

"I would have never been able to live on like the way we were," Li Fengjin suddenly spoke.

"Me too. I would have never been able to stay that way for long. It's too painful," Bai Renxiang muttered.

After a few seconds of staying like that, in each other's embrace, Li Fengjin pulled her body away from his a little so that he could see her face. A heavy sigh fell out of his lips on really taking note of her appearance.

She looked a bit pale and her lips were still trembling. Tears were still flowing out in fact. Her small nose was red and her eyes were super puffy.

"Why?" Li Fengjin was asking why she let her eyes get that swollen. He then pressed light kisses on both of her eyes.

"I'm sorry. I could not sleep for a long time and those tears kept flowing out of my eyes."

"Sigh. My beautiful pearls suffered because of me," Li Fengjin sighed helplessly. "Wait. Did you just say you could not sleep?"

"Unfortunately, yes," Bai Renxiang nodded.

"And you wanted to go out?" Disbelief marred Li Fengjin's face.

"Not really. I just needed an– kyaah!"

Bai Renxiang talked as Li Fengjin instantly scooped her into his hands. He did not want to let her talk before he started walking back to their bed.

He carefully laid her down in the middle before joining her. He pulled the blanket up to cover them then he adjusted closer to her for a cuddle.

"I know you just needed an excuse to not see and talk to me. But you should not put your health aside because of a misunderstanding between us," he told her.

Bai Renxiang nodded like an obedient child and snuggled closer to him like a cute white rabbit.

"Iay sound clingy but... I really missed you. I just wanted you to know," Bai Renxiang said in small voice.

? "Is it me you missed or my cuddles?" Li Fengjin asked in a teasing tone.

"It is pretty much the same thing. No you, no cuddles. With you there cuddles. So..."

Li Fengjin chuckled and kissed the top of her head. "You are learning how to get away from my traps, huh?"

"I am just stating facts."

When Bai Renxiang stifled a yawn, Li Fengjin's smile dropped a little. She looked worn out. He made a mental note of not letting them have a fight.

And even if they do, he would make sure to not let his anger get over him and solve the problem.

"Renxiang."

"Hmm," she tilted her head backwards to look at him.

Li Fengjin then took the chance to land a full kiss on her lips. "Sleep now. When we wake up, we can have something to eat before thinking of going out."

"Okay and..." She took a pause. "Thank you."

Li Fengjin blinked rapidly a few times while trying to figure out the reason why she was thanking him. When he could not get a thing for the reason, he asked.

"Why are you thanking me?"

"For choosing me over her. For choosing our love," Bai Renxiang reasoned.

"I will do that over and over again as far as it is you. Get some rest. I know you are fully exhausted."

With their fight over, their relationship became quite stronger. All through the remaining days of their honeymoon in Hawaii was spent with each other. They were practically inseparable.

Their two weeks was spent in one of Li Fengjin's private island in China. Surrounded by nature and his men on guard. Things went well.

Meanwhile, in City S, the rest of the family were finally travelling back. Through the remaining weeks before this day, Li Xiaojin made sure to spend lots of time with his great-grandfather and his grandmother.

And not to forget, his friends, Gu Mingzhe and An Daiyu.

"Xiaojin, can't you stay longer? You can come and live with me and we can go to school together, do our homeworks and then play games," Gu Mingzhe said.

He hard forced his parents to take him to the airport to bud his best friend goodbye. He was crying so his mother could not disagree.

But now, Gu Mingzhe was finding it very difficult to part with his best friend. He has grown attached to him so it was too painful to see Li Xiaojin leave.

"I can't stay longer, Mingzhe. My mummy and daddy has to live together like yours. And I want to be with them," Li Xiaojin sighed.

"But... But I will miss you very much. Who and going to talk to in the new school? Who would I do my homework with and eat lunch and play with?" Tears had started falling down his eyes.

"You still have Daiyu here. And I will call you very often. We can still do homework on facetime. So don't worry," Li Xiaojin patted his best friend's head.

"Promise?"

"I pinky promise," they locked heir pinkies.

"Sniff~ Okay."

"Xiaojin," An Daiyu called from afar. Her and her mother had just arrived. She looked chubbier and prettier now. Things must be going well for them.

"Xiaojin, I brought cakes and sweets for you. Well uhm... I will miss you and... and I will wait for you."
