Imperfect Desires

727 Fairy Godmother

"Dad, I already had someone clean the villa. Should we renovate it as well?" Finally, Xiao Li paid attention to his brooding father.

"I'd love to renovate it but forget it! It'll take time and right now we don't have time," replied Xin Zimen impatiently.

"It won't take long though," chimed in Ah-Si who was feeding his little girl.

"It won't take long but I need to bring the little lass home soon. She doesn't like hospitals. Get the best doctors and nurses to take care of her at home."

Xiao Li nodded his head, "Okay. When do you want to bring her home?"

"As soon as possible!" came the prompt reply.

Seeing his father's worry, Xiao Li didn't even finish his meal before leaving to get everything arranged. Zhao Huan glared at Xin Zimen, "Xiao Zi, you didn't even let him finish!"

"He has more important things to do," replied Xin Zimen.

"Little brother, shouldn't you be sitting with your son and comforting him? He needs you right now. Yesterday was his wedding and I think the person most affected by everything in him."

Xin Zimen scowled at his elder brother and sighed out, "He is my son. He doesn't need comforting. Everything is according to his own plans. Where did you see him worried?"

Xin Zemin was perplexed, "Didn't he love that Meihui girl for years? Of course, he'd be heartbroken right now."

"A person can break your heart only once. If you allow the same person to break your heart repeatedly then you're the idiot one!" said Xin Zimen in a calm voice. "And I didn't raise an idiot son. He is fine. You worry about yourself!"

"What do I have to worry about?" questioned Xin Zemin.

"Your mother must be fuming right now since you haven't given her a clear answer," informed Xin Zimen. "She would never have thought that one day she'd be given such a surprise."

"It's definitely a surprise for her. But a pleasant one! She'd be so happy to know that I have my own child now."

"Hahaha!" Xin Zimen laughed at his brother's face. "Happy? Pleasant surprise? You still haven't changed at all! Your mother has always been an old fashioned person. Having a daughter is nothing to be happy about for her. She had always shown affection towards my sons but my daughter was never accepted. And you think, she'll treat your daughter differently? Especially the one daughter whom she didn't even watch growing up before her eyes? Wake up already!"

Xin Zemin wanted to refute but nothing came out of his mouth. No matter how much he always wanted to stand up for their mother before his younger brother, he couldn't deny that most of the time, his younger brother was right about their mother.

"Stop shouting at me," said Xin Zimen in a straight voice. "If you really want to shout, go and shout the same words to your mom as well."

"She is your mother as well," reminded Xin Zemin.

"I've long stopped being her son," replied Xin Zimen and got up to leave.

"He is still very rude," Xin Zemin said to his wife. "Why is he so difficult?"

"Dad is not difficult though," Ah-Si spoke up. "Dad is just lonely."

Xin Zemin fell silent when he heard these words.

Back at the hospital...

"I didn't know your mom is so intimidating. She is a strong woman!"

Nora smiled at Ying and agreed, "Yes, she is a very strong woman. And she's a scary woman as well. I definitely would never want to stand against her in life or in court. She would butcher me alive!"

Ying chuckled heartily. "She is also very protective of you and Xiu."

"Because mom thinks since she can't give us all of her time, she'd like to give us all her love. She'd go to any length to protect us."

"That's very nice," remarked Ying in a small voice. She rubbed her hands together and said, "It's getting cold." Suddenly a hot cup of coffee appeared before her eyes and through the wisps of rising smoke, she saw the blurry image of Han Bohai who was holding up that coffee for her.

"This is for you," he offered another cup to Nora who thanked him with a smile.

As they both got their coffee, they watched his leaving again. "I never thought this superstar to have such a considerate personality. He is so warm and friendly."

"I also didn't think he'd be like this," replied Ying honestly. After all, he came across as a flirt to her at their very first meeting. And later on, he kept up that image. Even though he was always observant. She had to say he was also very warm and could melt anyone's heart with his sweetness.

Soon, Han Bohai came back and put a blanket on her legs saying, "Don't catch a cold."

He passed the other one to Nora who gaped at him and said, "What are you? Fairy godmother? Because if yes, I'd love to order one for myself!"

Han Bohai laughed at her remark and said, "Sorry, I'm the only successful model."

"Damn it! How unfortunate..." sighed Nora regretfully.

Before he could run off again, Ying held his wrist and pulled him to the seat beside her saying, "Stop running around and just sit down. If you didn't even rest last night, can't you sleep now?"

Han Bohai placed his head on her shoulder and said, "I think with this pillow, I can sleep peacefully."

"Why didn't you sleep last night?" Han Bohai opened his mouth but she went on, "And don't give me the previous crap!"

Han Bohai bit his lips and answered honestly, "I just had too much to think about. And by the time, I came to a conclusion, it was already time to wake up."
