CHAPTER 248
"I have been meaning to ask this for a while now. Why are you two here?" Ning Xiaozhi asked Li Fengjin and Yang Chen?
"Do not get me wrong. I am just curious," she added to clear any wrong thoughts.
"Li Fengjin saved Bai Renxiang. I just played a small role with technology to help find her," Yang Chen answered.
"Oh! Thank you so much. If not for you, I wonder if..." Ning Xiaozhi paused.
She did not want to say it. Nobody would want to hear such either way. It was too painful to think of.
"No need to thank us. I don't want a next time. But if something bad happens again, I will still save her," Li Fengjin said with a straight face.
Yang Chen and Ye Chaoxiang carried proud smiles on their faces. While the rest of them were surprised. All apart from Jiang Meilin.
"Does he have feelings for my bestie?" Ning Xiaozhi whispered to Ye Chaoxiang.
"Yeah. Scratch that, he is madly in love with her," Ye Chaoxiang whispered back.
"Oh! What?!" Her eyes bulged. "Are you serious?"
"Yes, I am."

Meanwhile, in the room opposite Bai Renxiang's hospital room, a pair of blue eyes opened weakly. Bai Xiaojin had no idea where he was.
The only thing he wanted to do was to see h8s mother.
Coming to that thought, his eyes began to water again. He would not be able to see her because she is missing.
"Xiaojin, how are you?" Old man Jiang said. He had just ended the call with Charlie when he saw the little boy's eyes open.
"Why are you crying? Are you feeling pains anywhere? Tell me," he asked seeing the boy crying.
"Mummy. I-I want my mummy," Bai Xiaojin cried.
"Your mummy? She is fine. A friend of hers found her. She is in the other room opposite yours," old man Jiang said.
Just then, his phone rang. It was one of Jiang's Corporation's business partner in another country.
"Hold on, okay. Let me take this call and then I will take you to meet your mummy," he said before standing up to go over to the window.
"Hello, Mr Mo..."
While old man Jiang was busy making his call, Bai Xiaojin slid down from the bed. He was glad that there was no medical equipment attached to his body.
Without waiting for his great-grandfather to finish his phone call, Bai Xiaojin left the room. Just as old man Jiang had said, Bai Xiaojin walked to the door of the opposite room.
"*sniffle* Mummy," Bai Xiaojin said as soon as he pushed the door open. He was still crying.
All heads topped towards the opened door. They were surprised to see Bi Xiaojin awake. Meanwhile, Bai Xiaojin was also shocked to see a lot of people in the room.
But those were not the face he wanted to see. He wanted to see his mother. He had thought that she was fine like his great-grandfather had said.
"Waaa~~" he burst into tears.
He was lied to. That old man said his mummy was fine. Why was she not in the room? Will he never see his mother again?
"Oh, dear. Don't cry. Your mummy is fine," Jiang Meilin said as she approached him.
"Liar!" Bai Xiaojin yelled as he dodged her and ran into the room to hug a certain someone.
Again, everyone was shocked to see him hugging Li Fengjin. Why did he choose him over his grandmother? Shin, Shane and Ning Xiaozhi were the most surprised.
"Wuu!! I want *hiccup* my mummy," he cried on Li Fengjin's shoulder.
"Stop crying. Your mother is fine," Li Fengjin said as he rubbed Bai Xiaojin's back. "Look. She is just taking a nap," he added.
Bai Xiaojin looked at where Li Fenjin pointed and he indeed saw his mother sleeping on the big bed.
Jiang Meilin held her breath when she saw their faces together. Shin and Shane's expressions changed too. Their eyes were wide in astonishment.
"What a striking resemblance?" Jiang Meilin whispered to her herself. Shin and Shane heard it as they were closer to her.
Bai Xiaojin wiggled out of Li Fengjin's embrace and ran to the side of the bed.
"Mummy?!" He called.

Bai Xiaojin looked back at Li Fengjin and then at his mother sleeping on the bed. He puffed his cheeks and called her again. This time, he pulled her hand.
"Mummy wake up. Now is *hiccup* not the time for naps. Wake up."
Seeing as she was still not responding, Bai Xiaojin went back to Li Fengjin and pulled his hands.
"Why is she not waking up? You said she is fine. Is my mummy... dead?" He asked as his face went pale.
"What? Of course not," Li Fengjin said.
"Then, why is she not waking up? Does she not want to see me anymore? I promise to be a good boy," he said.
"She-"
"Don't lie to me. I-I am not a kid anymore." Bai Xiaojin said as he shot Li Fengjin a glare.
"Sigh. Listen here, big man," Li Fengjin lifted Bai Xiaojin off the ground and sat him on his lap. "Your mother is fine. She is just napping. She is in a very deep nap, not eternal sleep. She will definitely wake up," he assured him.
"Really?"
"Really. Now, stop crying. Only kids cry and you said so yourself that you are not a kid," Li Fengjin stated.
"Fine. I won't cry anymore," Bai Xiaojin said and wiped his tears.
Just then, old man Jiang walked into the room.
"There you are, you..." He paused.
Old man Jiang's thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. Why was ge seeing two Bai Xiaojins or rather, two Li Fengjins in the room?
