CHAPTER 633

"She does not mean it. She just said so at the spur of the moment. Are you seriously raking that to heart?" Ye Chaoxiang asked surprised.

"Well, let the woman you love tells you she hates you and then you can tell me how it feels," Li Fengjin glared at him.

"Xiaozhi tells me that sometimes," Ye Chaoxing shrugged.

"Fine. She does not mean it but it hurt me," Li Fengjin sighed.

"And you seriously stink? You reek of blood and sweat," Wang Tingxuao scrunched up his nose.

"Don't act disgusted," Li Fengjin rolled his eyes.

"It's no wonder Renxiang sent you out. She felt repulsed," Ye Chaoxiang chimed in.

"Hey, that's not cool to say. Besides, I was going to shower if not that you guys followed me in here," Li Fengjin retorted.

"Yeah yeah. Go clean up already. We will be in the living room," Ye Chaoxiang waved at him as he made his way to the door.

Li Fengjin shook his head and walked into the bathroom after taking off his clothes. He stepped under the shower head and turned it on.

As the cold water droplets hit his skin, his mind replayed all that has happened. And then he hopes that Bai Renxiang is not really repulsed by him.

Not for the blood on his body but for his brutal actions before her at the warehouse.

By the time it was drawing closer to the evening, those who came around to see how Bai Renxiang and Li Xiaojin were doing had already gone.

*knock knock*

"Fengjin," Mrs Li came to look for him in the guest room.

"Mum. What do want?" Li Fengjin opened the door and went back to the bed.

"Oh, sorry. Did I disturb you?" Mrs Li asked as she saw the first aid box opened on the bed.

"No. I was just taking care of little stuffs," he replied.

"I-I see. Well, uhm do you want me to help? You have some on your back," she mentioned.

"Do you want to?" He stared without any expression on his face or in his eyes.

Mrs Li smiled a small smile and nodded. Of course, she will want to. She missed treating his little little wounds for him.

Back then when he was a kid, he would always come running to meet her for any injury. Even if it was just a scratch.

However, when he grew older, he started doing those things by himself.

"Go ahead," Li Fengjin gave her the go-ahead.

Mrs Li went over to the bed. She sighed inside her when she saw the injuries. Although not serious, she felt pain for him.

Not wanting to waste time, she shook her head and got to work. First cleansing the injuries and applying whatever it was to be applied. While doing those, she would gently blow on them.

"Does it hurt?" Mrs Li could not help but ask.

"No. They are nothing," Li Fengjin replied.

After some fleeting seconds of silence, Mrs Li began.

"I came here to apologise to you. For everything and anything at all." Li Fengjin said nothing.

"You know, I was the reason why we took Zhixin with us in the first place. Your father only wanted us to buy him food and warm clothes then we would take him to a sheltered home for orphans.

But I disagreed. Maybe it was because I was just desperate to have a child. However, if I had listened... Just listened and agreed to what your father had said, there would have been no Zhixin finding ways to hurt you not your wife and son.

And for that, I am really sorry. I am the cause of everything. Please forgive me."

Li Fengjin sighed after she was done. He turned around a bit and took her hands in his. He bushes his thumb in the back of her palm.

"It's not your fault. You just had a big heart, that's all. And I am not going to be mad at you because of it," he said.

"So you really are not mad at me?" Mrs Lu asked.

"No, never. Even if I was, I have forgiven you. I can't stay mad at my sweetheart for long. It's impossible," he smiled.

Mrs Li let out a little laugh and nodded. "Okay. I am certain you are not mad anymore. Thank you."

"No problem. Thanks for taking care of me," he referred to her help from before.

"I enjoyed doing it. It took my mind back to the days when you were younger," Mrs Li smiled.

"If you say so," Li Fengjin shrugged.

"Dinner will soon be ready. You should call Renxiang downstairs to eat. She needs the food," Mrs Li said before she left the room.

Li Fengjin sighed. He got dressed and went out of the room. On his way, he met Li Xiaojin.

"Daddy!" Li Xiaojin ran to hug him.

Li Fengjin lifted him off his feet, holding him in his arms. "Hey, champ. How are you feeling now?"

"Fine but a little scared. Is mummy okay? I have not seen her," he asked.

"Yeah, she is fine. I am going to get her so that we can all have dinner together."

"Can I come too? I want to see her."

"Well, no. I have to discuss something with her. I have an apology to make," Li Fengjin said.

"Really? Is it because cause you did not come home sooner?" Li Xiaojin asked.

"That and because I shouted at her," Li Fengjin admitted.

"You should not do that. Mummy will feel sad. She has been sad and one time I even heard her crying in the room one night. She misses you a lot. So no shouting at her again, okay?" Li Xiaojin says.

"Alright. Now, go to the living room and let me make amends with your mother," Li Fengjin put him down.

"Okay."

~In their bedroom~

Li Fengjin knocked and entered quietly. When he found out that Bai Renxiang was still asleep, he sighed. He has been doing that a lot lately.

He walked to their bed and gently sat on the side. His expression softened, even more, when his eyes fell on her face.

Li Fengjin carefully caressed her face.

"You can be cute but you are pretty stubborn and brave. Well, that's part of why I love you, huh?" He whispered.

"Hey, I'm sorry about earlier. I should have not attacked you in the manner that I did. You were having it rough and I did not think before acting. I guess I was really mad at sailing to protect what's mine every single time and I channelled that anger towards you. I'm sorry."

"You called me stupid," Bai Renxiang suddenly said.

"I know and I'm sorry about that too. Wait..." Li Fengjin's eyes raised to meet her opened ones. He was surprised that she was awake.

"You basically said I'm incapable of reasoning," she made mention of another.

"I... When did I say that?" Li Fengjin tried to remember.

Bai Renxiang glared at him. "You do not necessarily have to say it directly or with the exact words."

"Alright. I apologise for that. I am the one who is incapable of reasoning," Li Fengjin accepted his faults.

"Then you left me alone. If Xiaozhi and the girls did not come in, I would have been alone," Bai Renxiang pouted.

"You said I should get out and that I was annoying you and gave you a headache. You even said you hated me and I did not think you will want to stay in the same room with someone you hate," Li Fengjin also reminded her of the words she said.

"That... I only said that out of anger. Besides, you were really annoying me," Bai Renxiang defended herself.

"It still does not change the fact that you hate me."

"That's not true. I love you with all my heart," Bai Renxiang said.

"That's very reassuring and good to hear. I love you with all my heart too," Li Fengjin smiled.

"But then, you could have told me you were going. Leaving me like that was painful and that note did not help matters at all. I thought you were leaving for good. And that you do not want me or Xiaojin anymore."

"Sigh. I just thought I could handle things quietly and quickly. I will not do it again, I promise. And I will never leave you and Xiaojin. I can't leave without you two," Li Fengjin placed a palm on her face.

"You mean it?" Bai Renxiang asked looking up into his eyes.

It made her look too cute Li Fengjin felt he was shot by cupid once again.

"Yes. I mean it. Not especially now that we are going to be having a baby," his smile grew.

He did not have the time to be excited when she told him at the warehouse. But now, he has that time. He felt giddy all over.
