CHAPTER 613
“I am just stating the obvious father. Maybe if you two were not such hopeless romantics, I would have had a great chance at love. I just…”
Unknown to either of them, her anger had skyrocketed and she tightened her grip on the glass cup The next thing eiteh ro fthem knew, she threw the cup at her son, spraying the liquid on her self and the floor as the glass cup aimed well at Kim Fan.
Luckily for him, he saw it on time and the second she did, he ducked and dashed far from her reach.
“Calm down.” To his favour, his father reacted on time and rushed to go hold down his mother before she became avixen and hurt her son.
Not that he wasn’t deservant of any of this in the first place.
“Kim Jingguo let me be. Leave me alone and wait your turn.”
“Why should father wait his turn when it was all his fault in the first place?”
His father turned to look at him. He really was biting off more than he could chew. He was tempetd to leave his wife and allow beat some sense into him but what kind of a father would e be?
“Honey, please stay calm. I really mean it. I am sorry. It is my fault. You can go ballistic all you want on me. I won’t stop you but please calm down.”
“Okay, as you wish.” She stopped struggling and looked him the eye. He could see her pain straight up but the deed had alrady been done. There was no use crying over spilled milk now.
“I really am sorry. Perhaps I should have done this long ago but nevertheless, I love you.”
“You, love me?”
She was finding it hard to belief and in that moment when he was feeling weak by her doubt, she broke free and shifted from him. “Are you jesting now that I am angry?”
“No. I dare not. I mean every word I speak to you my lobe Every single damn word.”
Her eyes brimmed with joy at his words but she still needed to confirm something first. “Wait, but how can you love two women at the same time?”
“Umm, technically. He loves you now and still loves you, just that she is an old flame he cannot get rid of from his maind.”
“KIM FAN!” That was it, his father had enough of his son’s incessant butting in. Was he trying to ruin his family or what?
“What?”
“Are you panning on ruining this home or what?”
‘If you ask me, I do not know who to ask.” He chuckled at his father before standing straight and walking back to where his parents were. “Forgive me. I was just kidding.”
‘Kidding? Do you know how your mum is when she gets angry?”
‘Hey, I am still here, what are you insinuating to my son?”
‘Is she… is she taking this brat’s side? Wasn;t he the one who hurt her the most calling her a hopeless romantic?’
No matter how Kim Jingguo thought about it, it was just so absurd that she would not get mad at Kim Fan bit considering her son only spoke while he was the one still harbouring thoughts of another woman in his heart.
“Were you not the one who said something about the quiet ones, when pushed to the extrme…”
“I know what I said and if you want, father, I would happily recount those words before mum.”

‘Why you… I must sure repay him for this,’ His father thought.
Finally seeing as he could not win against Kim Fan with his wife laying bais, he had no choice but to strike a silent deal with his son.
Using his eyes as his means of communication, he pleaded for Kim Fan to stop fanning the flames of ange in his mother.
Finally, Kim Fan agreed and winked ta his father.
‘What an unfilial son I have. He really is biting off more than he can chew.’ In his mind he had other plans for his son but for now, he needed to quench the flames in his wife.
“But come to think of it mum, dad never did hurt you,” Kim Fan began, pulling their attention to himself.
‘What is he up to this time around?” He could not bring himself to trusting his son, so readily when it came to this sissue again.
“How so?”
“All he has are memories of his old friend. You cannot blame him for that.”
Both Kim Jingguo and his wife, Lan Fang looked at each other first, a bit surprised but when he saw that Kim Fan was speaking in his favour, he smild at her and nodded in agreement.
“He never did anything with her, mum. And I am saying this because father told me personally. I shouldn’t but I am just making you nderstand that he loves you dearly as well.”
“But…”
‘No buts mother. Ignore all I said, I was just having fun for and making it difficult for dad fr not helping me fight for Li Jing.”
She face-palmed herself upo hearing Li Jing’s name.
“Is she worth what you almost did to your family?”
“Yes. And like I said, I was playing. He loves you so much ma. I need you to believe that. The only thing between you and are, she was his childhood friend and first love. He had an unrequited love but then he met you and he loved you as well.”
‘I knew I should not trust this son of mine. How can he still utter this when he is trying to settle things for me?’
Letting out a sigh, Kim Jingguo had no choice but to take things from there himself. “My darling, I am sorry for thinking of another woman this whole time but know this, my heart still goes out to you.”
“Why should I believe you?”
“Because it was her lost. 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, you won.. You have me and our naughty lovely son here.”
