CHAPTER 293
"Mum?!"
"Oh!. Jin, you are back," Mrs Li turned and smiled.
"Sweetheart, what are doing here?" Li Fengjin asked.
"What? I can't be here?"
"No. I mean... Yes, you can but when did you get here? Why didn't you call me so that I would pick you up from the airport?"
"Too many questions. Give me a big hug first," Mrs Yi said with open arms.
"Welcome, sweetheart," Li Fengjin said as he hugged her.
"Thank you, my dear. Sigh. I missed my son so much. So I wanted to surprise you by visiting."
"I would've gone to wait for you at the airport. You should have told me at least," he said.
"Tsk. Silly. It wouldn't be considered a surprise if I had told you. Besides, I wasn't alone. Donghai drove me here and also ordered some of the bodyguards to follow us. I'm okay," Mrs Li said.
"Alright. I'm happy you came. I missed you. But what about dad?" Li Fengjin asked.
"Oh, that old man? He was all grumpy when I told him about my plan to visit. But I pacified him by stocking the refrigerator with lots of food," Mrs Li explained.
"Are you sure it was only food? No kisses or-"
"Stop it," she cut him short. "I did not come here for you to tease me. I would go back to my husband if you do," Mrs Li threatened him.
"What? How mean. You just got here. I won't let you go," Li Fengjin hugged her tight like a child.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"I won't if you do not make fun of me."
"But I was just asking. It is normal for every married couple to pacify each other with-"
"LI FENGJIN! Don't test me," she warned.
"Hahaha! Okay, you won. I'm happy you came. But, I wonder why my men not tell me about it?"
"I told them not to," Mrs Li said with a shrug.
"Really?"
"No, I threatened them."

"Hehehe! Call your friends over. I am making a lot for dinner," Mrs Li said.
"Oh, wow! I can't wait to try them all," Li Fengjin inhaled deeply and then exhaled.
"Oh, and call your dream woman or should I say your girlfriend," Mrs Li said while wiggling her brows at him.
"You saw those pictures, didn't you?" Li Fengjin laughed.
"Why would I not? You posted it on the group chat. Your aunts are dying to meet her. Also, the little boy you sent to me reminds me of you when you were little," Mrs Li said.
"Hmm. He is a great kid."
"Jin, that boy... That boy is your child, right?"
"Yes, he is. The DNA result proved it."
"Oh, my! My son is a father and I am a grandmother now. Congratulations."
"Thanks, mum. Alright. Can I have your phone? I still have to call my girlfriend. Mine is down."
"Sure. It is over there on the counter."
Li Fengjin walked over to the kitchen counter. He picked up his mother's phone, sat down on one of the kitchen stools and dialled Bai Renxiang's number.
While he was doing that, Mrs Li went to sit opposite him. She had an excited smile on her face.
On her way back home, Bai Renxiang's phone rang. It was an unknown number calling. She hesitated for a few seconds before she pressed the receive button and placed the phone beside her ear.
"Hello, my love," Li Fengjin's baritone voice sounded in her ears.
"Li Fengjin?" She called in confusion.
"Yes, it is I, your heartbeat," he said.
Mrs Li asked him to put the phone on speaker. She could not believe she wanted to invade her son's privacy. But she could not help it. Much to her surprise, Li Fengjin placed the call on speaker.
"Hi, sweetheart," Bai Renxiang's sweet voice rang out in the quiet kitchen. "Did you change your number?" She asked.
"Nope. My phone battery died. I borrowed... my driver's phone," he lied.
"Oh! Okay," the dragged. "How was your day?"
"Sigh. It was exhausting and boring without you with me. I missed you so much," he confessed with a sulky voice.
Mrs Li was quite surprised. Her son was behaving spoiled with someone other than her and his friends. She was happy. At least now she knows that he has gotten over his stupid ex-girlfriend.
"Aww! I missed you too."
"So, what are doing?" Li Fengjin asked.
"Well, nothing. I'm on my way home," Bai Renxiang said and looked out the car window.
"Wait, no," Li Fengjin said hurriedly.
"Uhh, are you okay, honey?" Ban Renxiang had to ask.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, I am. I just... Can you come home for dinner?" He asked.
"I am on my way home. I just told you that a few seconds ago. Are you there?"
"No. I am not in your home. I mean this one. Here. At my place."
There was silence at the end of the line. Bai Renxiang was out of words. She was blushing again.
'Did he just say that his place is my home?' She thought.
"Uh, hello. My love, are you still there?" Li Fengjin asked.
"Y-Yes. I was... Sigh. I am almost at my place. Also, I do not know where you live," Bai Renxiang stammered.
"I will send the address to you. Will you come? Everyone will be here."
"Everyone?"
"Yeah. Everyone including your best friend. We will not be alone, don't worry," he assured ger.
"I 'm not," she said.
"Oh, really?"
"Hmm. We stayed at the hospital together. Have you forgotten?" She reminded him.
"How can I forget that? It was great in the hospital. It was just that you were hurt and scared at times. But I enjoyed every last minute of it," he said.
"Hmm."
"So, are you going to come for dinner? We can see each other and get to spend a little time together," he tempeted her.
"Okay. I will be there. Send me your address," she agreed.
"Great. I will see you soon. I love you."
"Love you too."
