CHAPTER 367

It was until Yi Minsheng heard the sound of the door closing that he got back to his senses. Even at that, he was at loss for words.

He was not quick enough to also tell her good night. But that was not what really got him. Yi Minsheng kept on staring at the now-closed door.

'I fell in love with the father of my son.'

Bai Renxiang's words kept replaying in his head.

"Father? Son? In love? Who? Li Fengjin?" He thought out loud.

CLACK

"Minsheng?! What are doing just standing there?" Mrs Yi said.

She was already worried that he had not yet come back from his stroll. So she wanted to go and look for him since he left his phone at home.

But she did not expect him to already be at the door. Yi Minsheng turned to his mother.

"What? Why do you kook so... confused and shocked? What is wrong with you now? Did you get rubbed or something?" She asked.

When Yi Minsheng shook his head, Mrs Yi sighed. She left the door open and walked back in.

"Come in and shut the door, will you?"

Yi Minsheng took one last look at Bai Renxiang's door before he followed his mother in and closed the door behind him.

"Mum, can you guess who I saw when I was coming from my stroll?" Yi Minsheng asked as he went to the kitchen to get a glass of water for himself.

"I don't know. Is it Ruolan?"

"What? How can I see her by this time? She does not even leave around this area," he came to take his set beside her.

"Why did you always take her name every time I ask you to guess like today?"

"Maybe it's because I want you and that sweet girl to be together. There is no girl I can think of except... Oh, wait. Did you see Renxiang then?" Mrs Yi asked.

"Yep. I saw her. She saw Li Fengjin off so we walked back together," ge said.

"That is great. You look happy. So are you guys okay now?"

"Yeah... I guess. She behaved as she used to before that whole stuff happened," he referred to when Bai Renxiang came back from the hospital.

"Thank God. I told you she will still be friends with you. I doubt if anyone can stop being friends with you once they get to know how sweet you are," Mrs Yi pinched his cheeks.

"Okay, that hurts... Anyway, can you guess what I saw and what Bai Renxiang told me?"

"Uhm... You saw her with her boyfriend. Maybe they were being all lovey-dovey. Then, she told you to move on and be with Ruolan," Mrs Yi guessed.

"Argh... No. I should not have asked," he groaned in frustration.

"Hehehe."

"So, I saw a ring on Bai Renxiang's finger. I asked if she was tying the knot with Li Fengjin and she said—"

"Yes?"

"Yes."

"Ah! What great news. Why did Meilin not tell me about this? I am going to scold her for it."

"You have not been around, mum. How could she tell you? Besides, that is not the end."

"It is not?"

"No," Yi Minsheng sat at the edge of the couch and faced his mother. "She told me that she fell in love with the father of her son. So... That means that she... I mean he, Li Fengjin is—"

"Bai Xiaojin's father?" Mrs Yi completed his words.

"Yes."

"He is? He is. Oh, bless the Lord. How lucky she is. I am so happy," Mrs Yi said in excitement.

"Me too."

"You are?" Mrs Yi eyed him.

"Yes. I mean it is what Xiaojin has been wishing for," Yi Minsheng nodded.

"Come here. Let me hug you," Mrs Yi spread her arms open for him to hug her.

Yi Minsheng did as she wanted. Mrs Yi rubbed his broad back to comfort him.

"I told you that fate had another thing in mind for you both. She got what thousands of people could barely get. You played a role in that no matter what it was."

"I wonder if fate has something good in store for me too. I want someone like you, mum," Yi Minsheng said.

"You will get it. Ruolan is there. If she is not the one, then there is someone else. Sooner or later you will get to meet that person. I am glad you have grown out of your feelings for Bai Renxiang."

"Me too. I still think about her though. But it is not as often as before. That is a good thing, right?"

"Of course, it is. Now, it is time to sleep. You still have to go to work tomorrow."

"Thanks, mum. Sigh. I feel lighter than usual. Good night," he said before he left for his room.

"Good night, dear."

Meanwhile, Bai Ming dragged her tired self into the Bai mansion. She was so exhausted that it could be clearly seen on her face.

Lin Ying rushed toward her as soon as she stepped into the living room. She herself was stressed but not with work.

"Mingming. Honey, something happened," Lin Ying said in a distressed tone.

"Not now, mummy. I am too tired to be in the mood to listen to you," Bai Ming said.

Lin Ying's eyes bulged in shock as she watched her daughter slump down on the nearest couch close to her. She kicked off her heels and threw her bag somewhere on the couch.

"But, sweetie–"

"Li Na," Bai Ming cut her mother off.

A maid came running into the living room at the sound of her name.

"Welcome back, young miss. How may I be of help to you?" Li Na asked with her head still lowered.

"Get me a glass of apple juice. I want it cold. Be quick about it. I am not patient enough to wait," Bai Ming ordered.

As the maid left, Lin Ying spoke. "Bai Renxiang is the CEO of Jiang Corporation."
