Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart

CHAPTER 614

"She not only married someone not befitting of her status but she had an accident and till today she remains missing, probably dead. You, on the other hand, won. You have me and our naughty lovely son here."

Just listening to his explanation, she had got to admit, he was right. In the end, she won, she got to marry whom she loved and yeah who cared about an old flame especially when she was nowhere to be found in the universe?

She wasn't particularly concerned anymore. Rather she was the one living a happy life. It was just that she allowed the pain of the past, that she wasn't so sure of his love to beguile her.

'I guess I was just scared for nothing. This whole charade wasn't worth it. I was in pain for nothing. He loves me still.' Lan Fang.

"You promise to love me and me only?" Even though she knew what she was asking was almost uncalled for, she just could not help doing so.

It was a reassurance she needed for herself. She knew her place in his heart when it came to Qingyang but as he said, she was the one living and not dead. It spoke volumes.

"I love you and no one else. I promise to be faithful to you and you only all the days of my life."

"Sure?"

"Sure."

"If you break your promise, what should I do to you?"

"Then go berserk as you wanted earlier."

Her lips tugged upwards revealing her uncanny smile. "Most definitely. I would hold you to your word." He nodded in agreement. Who was he to reject her words?

"Thank you, dear."

"I love you, never you forget that," Lan Fang reminded him.

"I won't and I love you too. Always remember that too."

Bringing her closer to himself, Kim Jingguo ignored their lack of privacy and kissed her deeply.

He loved her and he meant it, Qingyang or not, she was his wife till the day they died.

Meanwhile, Kim Fan watched on in silence. He was happy for his parents. Although he knew Li Jing's mother would always have a place in his father's life, it was still okay.

She never wanted him and she was long gone. History in fact.

Regardless of him being happy for them, he was somewhat jealous. Jealous of his father. He found love again. Found a lady who was befitting f him. One who loved him unconditionally.

He wished his heart could heal and he could find love too but till then, he would keep hoping she would see he was best fr her and leave Ye Cheng, a scenario that was never going to happen.

If only he knew better and was not blinded like his mother was.

Standing up he placed his hand in his trouser pockets and smiled at them with his eyes closed. He wanted to clap but did not want to ruin their moment.

He for one was glad his mum was happy. Even if he or his father never found happiness, at least she did. It was enough for him.

Finally, they broke their kiss and looked up at him. They had their silent questions in their eyes. Where was he going to?

"I would be taking my leave now."

"To?" His mother inquired.

"Anywhere. You two look like you need enough privacy and I intend to give it to you. Dad, please take care of mum. I would be in my room for now."

"I thought you were leaving?" Lim Jinggup asked.

"Well, I was but nah. Tomorrow morning, I would return to my place. Now ciao."

He walked away, leaving them to follow him with their gaze and once he was out f the living room, they looked back at each other before showering each other with kisses.

Her heartfelt full in ways she never would have imagined before. Today marked a new day in their lives and love. So she intended on enjoying it.

However, later that night, Kim Fan tried getting some sleep but thoughts of Li Jing still battled with his being.

He wondered what thoughts might be going through her own mind at the moment. Was she happy with Ye Cheng? Was it okay?

Did she ever think of him or was it just him doing this thinking? How was her life there?

Even here she had a lot of difficulties and even her own family made it tough for her.

The bullying she was going through was becoming too much. Subconsciously he gripped the sheets on his bed at the thought of people causing trouble for her.

After some time, he let out a sigh. "How much you disturb me still. What wrong did I do to the universe to have you plague my mind this way?" He smiled at his misfortune before sitting up.

"Perhaps a cold glass of juice or milk would do the trick," he thought out loud before standing up and making his way out of his room.

Soon enough he was already in the kitchen, in front of the standing freezer and going through the contents thereof.

Although he thought of getting milk or juice and he had them all staring him in the face he found it hard to make a decision.

After about three minutes of just standing there with no choice in mind, he heard a voice speak from behind him, startling him in the process.

"My bet, an apple juice or a pineapple or a lemonade would do you great." He jumped a bit at the sound of her voice but it did not stop her from continuing what she wanted to say.

"Except you want to sleep instantly, then I suggest taking a cold chilled milk."

He shook his head while using his hand to massage his temples as he let out a soft chuckle. "What would I do with you, ma?"

"Nothing?"

"Why the laughter though?" She moved closer to the freezer and held onto one of the doors of the fried, giving him a smile and silently telling him to allow her to do her thing.

"You know how to always shock me and more importantly, you know me so much." He turned around and went to take a seat in the dining in the big kitchen.

"Of course, I would know you. I am your mother, even though you think me a hopeless romantic."

His gaze fell. SHE REALLY took all he said personal That was never the intention. "I know. And about this afternoon, I am sorry."

"Oh, that. I knew you were joking but it did hit home. Do not feel sad, your mother is a hopeless romantic but guess what?"

She closed the doors of the freezer and made her way to the table, dropping the three different kinds of juice she called out for him and smiled.

"What?" He watched her pick up two glasses and begin filling them with a touch of all three.

"You know that is dangerous, mum."

'Hmm, let's just say this hopeless romantic, loves danger. Besides, it is being a hopeless romantic that got me a son like you. So hopeless romantic, it is a compliment, my love."

"Mum."

"Drink up." She handed him his own cup and made them click glasses as she smiled. New chapters are published on novelenglish.net . ꜰirᴇ - ɴovᴇlbin

"Cheers to being a family of hopeless romantics."

After they took a sip of their drink, she placed a hand on the table, using it to support her weight while the other held her cup firmly.

"One question though, why did you come in?"

"Oh, that? I thought it was about time you know."

Before now, Kim Fan exposed it to her that he knew about their love story or better still unrequited love.

He only did this because he caught her crying and she tried denying it. So finally, she had no choice but to spill the truth.

He was surprised that up till that moment she never confronted him on the issue. Of course, she was scared. Too scared that when she did he would fling her pain aside and ignore everything.

So they decide to one day question him on it or set him up and make him spill. Luckily for them, that day was today.

It wasn't planned but when he heard his father speak of it, he initially stirred the discussion that way to get him talking and he did.

At first, he was thinking of recording or calling his mother to come but luckily for him, he did not have to worry as she found her way there herself.

She had been walking around when she heard the father and son speak. Being the curious kitty she was she walked closer to the door.

Unfortunately, Kim Jingguo did not hear nor see her but at the time when Kim Fan was busy thinking, he saw her and smiled.

Hearing everything, all she had to do was to wait and confront him.
