But if that old man imprisons his woman, he will suffer too, and he’ll be unhappy for the rest of his life.
Mucen, at last, those bloodshot eyes like those of a trapped beast, misted over, "Mom, but she is also the mother of my child, the person who is supposed to spend her life with me. If it were you, could you bear to abandon her and not care?"
She just stared at her son’s face, twisted with pain, and finally, her heart, as if it was pressed by a large stone, was so blocked that she couldn’t utter a single word...
Yes, that woman, she’s the mother of his child, the love he would trade his life for. How could he leave her behind? How could he part from her?
Bai Tingfang let go of his hand slowly.
As her hand loosened, she thought he would continue to seek out his father. But he didn’t. Instead, he stared blankly at a spot, his gaze empty and rigid, for a good while before he turned.
"Where are you going?" Bai Tingfang felt her heart skip at the sight.
This look of his was too worrisome, like a puppet that had lost its soul, liable to do something unpredictable.
But he completely ignored her, walking forward mechanically on his own. Bai Tingfang grew afraid and hurriedly followed, reaching out to grab his arm: "Xiaobao, listen to Mom, don’t be impetuous, I’ll talk to your dad right now, okay?"
She was so anxious that she blurted out his childhood nickname.
The man who was walking ahead stopped when pulled, his silent brows and cold features devoid of any warmth, as if his heart and blood had both frozen, leaving only emptiness and hatred in his heart!
"Xiaobao, Mom is begging you, just give me a chance. Don’t worry, no matter the cost, Mom will definitely get that girl back for you, okay? Don’t do anything foolish, promise me, okay?"
Bai Tingfang was truly frightened by her son’s expression. She had never seen him before in all the years he had grown.
Upon hearing she would go to the old man to beg him to release the girl, the man standing there finally moved his vacant eyes and his cold gaze fell upon the woman in front of him.
"Will he listen to you?"
"He has to listen, Xiaobao. You can’t be rash anymore. You know what your dad’s temper is like. If you really push him into a corner and get the girl hurt, it wouldn’t be good. Let Mom try once; if it doesn’t work, you can come back, okay?"
Bai Tingfang was truly pleading with him!
Mucen said nothing, but the heavy air of animosity around him wasn’t as intense as before...
Alright, they could try first. After all, he needed to calm down now, to rest, to think carefully about what to do with this matter.
So, in the end, he agreed.
Bai Tingfang, seeing that he agreed, was naturally overjoyed and immediately took him back to her own garden.
After returning, Mucen didn’t say anything else, nor did he resist. He entered his bedroom, closed the door, and locked himself inside, with no indication of what he was doing within.
Bai Tingfang was a bit worried, so she knocked on the door from the outside: "Mucen, don’t worry, I will definitely persuade your dad to release Ye Ning, you don’t need to worry. Please, don’t do anything silly, okay?"
