"That is better. I forgive you my dear," Mrs Li said.
"Thank you mum," Li Fengjin said as he sighed in relief. He thought that he would have to plea for a very long time.
"So how about that dream woman of yours? Have you found anything about her yet?" Mrs Li asked.
"Hahaha. You have a unique way of making people don't you?" He chuckled as he shook his head.
"Anyways, I have found her. She is here in City S," he adjusted himself in his king sized bed as he spoke over the phone.
"Gasp. Really? She is there? Did you ask for her name? Did she remember you? Do you have her number?" Mrs Li asked in a frenzy. She was super excited about the news that she forgot that she was once angry and dad that her son did not call her.
"Relax sweetheart. If you were a guy, you would definitely scare girls away," he mock teased her.
"Talk all you want. I just wanted to know," Mrs Li scoffed at his teasing.
"Alright. Her name is Bai Renxiang and she works in a restaurant after she gets off from her work at Emperor's Enterprise," he said emphasizing the name of the company.
"Oh my God!!! This is huge. She works in our company. So have you made a move yet? Like have you tried to approach her?"
"No but I happened to go to the restaurant she works, twice. The first she knew Xiang because he treated her mother and the second she recognized me as her boss. But till now, no effort has been made because of my work," he said.
"Oh that is good. Jin, have a good night's rest, okay? You must be tired from working so hard these past few days."
"Alright good night mum."
After the call, Mrs Li's mind kept on replaying the name of the lady her son talked about. "I think it have heard that name, especially the Bai," she turned to her husband to ask.
"Zhe do you remember anything about the name Bai Renxiang?"
"Uhh... I think I have. It is uhh... Oh yes I know where I saw it. It is that young miss of the Bai family that was on the news for selling herself out for a business deal," Mr Li said.
"Yes, I am very sure. I have a sharp memory, dear. There were pictures of her with a man in an hotel room and they were together on the bed," he said.
Unknown to Mr Li, his sharp memory and words was not helping matters for Mrs Li. She could not even utter a word. All she knew now is that her son might not be able to handle this news.
If only she had known, she would have not asked her husband about the name. But she did not think it will be that bad. She started wondering of how son will take the news he he find out.
No, she will keep this news away from him. Her son has started liking someone she will not let this news spoil things for him. Maybe when the right time comes she will tell him. But for now she has to keep shut about it.
"Honey what happened? Are you alright? Us anything the matter?" Mr Li asked on noticing his wife's change of expression when he talked about that Bai Renxiang.
"Everything is the matter, Zhe. Our son might not be alright if he hears this," she said as she looked at him with trembling eyes.
"Hey. Tell me what is wrong. Is it what I said? I am sorry for what I said," he apologized thinking that it was because of his words that his wife behaved like this.
"No no no. It is not your fault. There is nothing to be sad about. It is just that that name you said you saw on the news... That person is the one Jin slept with that night at the hotel," she said.
"What? But the news started and ended before our son slept with the lady," Mr Li said in shock.
"I know. I am just saying that they are the same person. The one in that news and the person Jin slept with. And Jin has been trying to find her for a long time because he likes her and-"
"Woah woah woah. So you are telling me how that our son, slept with a woman who sold herself for a business deal?" He asked.
"Yes. But do not say it like that. You are making her sound... bad. What if she did not do that? That is not even the problem now. Our Jin finally likes someone that is not his ex and now this news."
Mr Li now finally understood what his wife was referring to. It was now his turn to be speechless. If he was in his son's shoes, what would he do? That was the thought running through his mind right now.
"We can't let Li Fengjin know this, okay? It might break him," Mrs Li told her husband. Mr Li pondered on her for a while. He nodded his head as he agreed to keep mute as his wife said.
He could only sigh and closed his eyes as he massaged his temples. This is going to be troublesome for his son if he finds out.
While the Li couple were brooding over the issue, Li Fengjin adjusted again to a comfortable position on his bed and closed his eyes. He was happy that he had at least found the mysterious lady he had started growing feelings for.
