CHAPTER 286
"I asked her to think carefully about her relationship with that playboy of a boyfriend she has. I made her see the reasons why I said so. But she claimed she loved him."
"That is very true."
"Yeah but, then I told her about my feelings... Again."
"I asked her to think carefully about her relationship with that playboy of a boyfriend she has. I made her see the reasons why I said so. But she claimed she loved him. I told her about my feelings again and she told me off," You Minsheng's voice choked at the last part.
"She said she does not want to be friends with me anymore because I was forcing her to do what she did not want to and I was not behaving like the Yi Minsheng she knew. Bai Renxiang said I was behaving like a love rival in her eyes. She said she can't love me and it was best if we stopped being friends until I get over my love for her."
"Oh no! But I told you before, did I not? I told you to get over it. How hard can that be? You have Wei-"
"It is very hard, mum. I can't get over my love for Bai Renxiang. I just can't," he shouted.
"Minsheng, you should have-"
"I should have what? Are you blind? Can't you see how much of a mess I am without her? You are asking how hard it is to forget my feelings. My very first feelings for the whole of my twenty-five years of existence? If it is that easy, why have you not gotten over dad yet?"

"I... That is on a whole different level. I had you with me and- and we were married, Gid damn it," Mrs Yi also raised her voice.
"Well, good for you. For me, it is all the same. It has been twenty years already and you still cry over him. You still hug his picture to sleep," Yi Minsheng said.
"How did you..." She trailed off.
"How did I know?" He scoffed. "The same you know things about me, mum. That is the same way I, your son know things about you. We are going true the same thing. Do not expect me to just jump out of this so soon."
After saying those words, his chest was heaving up and down and his eyes dropped close for a fee counting seconds before he opened them. Mrs Yi was shocked. She has never seen her son lose his temper or worse, raise his voice at her.
He was really affected by the rejection. Taking one last look at his mother, Yi Minsheng walked away.
"You have finally made me lose my appetite. Don't disturb me," he said.
As soon as she heard the loud banging of his door, Mrs Yi slumped down on a couch and cried. Her shoulders shook as her silent tears flowed down.
Mrs Yi felt bad, stupid and nosy. She was just trying to be a mother but she angered her son in the process. She was scared she would lose him like his father.
"He would never understand. I have long forgotten that stupid man. I only cry for the death of my unborn child. I never hold that man's picture. I don't even have one. What I hug to sleep is the ultrasound of my baby.?" Mrs Yi said between her tears.
The time moved on until it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night. Yi Minsheng woke up from his sleep and groaned in hunger. He had not had anything to eat since he left Bai Renxiang's apartment.
Speaking of Bai Renxiang, Yi Minsheng's mind took him back to when he arrived from his long drive. The sight he saw broke his heart again.
Seven if it was just a simple kiss on the forehead, Yi Minsheng still felt owned. He was proud of himself that he was able to walk to his apartment and got in without fooling himself.
Until he fell asleep, he kept chanting to himself different things.
"I should be happy. I love her so her happiness is mine too. She belongs to another man now. One that I pray would take good care of her. She will not be happy with me. I can't let her be unhappy and feel caged if she is with me."
Yi Minsheng just lay upwards and let his thoughts drift. He was hungry and awake but he could not find the strength to stand up and go to the kitchen to make something for himself. So, he let his mind get occupied.
"I have a gut feeling that Li Fengjin is the father of Bai Xiaojin. Their resemblance is too striking to be a coincidence. Sigh. That kid likes Li Fengjin so much," he said.

"Hah! I should get up now and find something to eat before my stomach dies," he said while rubbing his well-structured stomach.
Yi Minsheng washed his face in the bathroom before heading out to the kitchen. Everywhere was dark and quiet. He then remembered the heated argument he had with his mother.
"I was too hard on her. She is my mother and we just have the two of us in this world. I should have just gone to my room earlier. That would have avoided too much word exchange between us," he said.
Yi Minsheng managed to find the right switch in the dark and put on the lights in the living room. He was surprised to see his mother sleeping on the couch.
"What is she still doing here?" He asked himself.
Yi Minsheng walked lightly so as not to make any sound. He knelt on the carpeted floor so that he could see her face. He noticed the trail of tears on them.
"You have heard so much to take care of me. I am sorry."
"Minsheng, please don't leave your mummy."
