When Yun Yuchun saw it was Feng Shufen, her eyes glittered. It had been a long time since she had seen him. Although in all these years she had not been around him, still in her heart, she always knew that even in her absence, her son would be carrying warmth for her in his heart.
But today, she could not be confident in the same. Because she could evidently see the indifference in the aura of Shufen that was coming for her.
"Shufen, you never let me explain. Do you think I had any other option at that time?"
Feng Shufen's fists clenched on their own. His jaws clenched to fight the urge of speaking too harshly in front of the woman whom he had once respected most in his life.
Yun Yuchun was Feng Shufen's mother. The changing expressions on his face didn't go unnoticed by her. She obviously noticed his tightened fists and jaws.
"Shufen, even if you are mad at me, I am still your mother. You can tell your heart to me. I won't get offended by any of your words" Yun Yuchun said before repeating again, "Do you really think I was self-centered and inhumane that time? That I purposely did what I did? Do you take your mother like that?"
Feng Shufen kept his face stern and straight without showing any intention to speak.
"Shufen, tell…"
"What do you want him to tell you Ms. Yun?" Just when Yun Yuchun was about to say more, Li Xue's voice interrupted her. She then slowly strolled inside and came to stand beside Feng Shufen.
Her eyes looked up at Feng Shufen before darting to look at everyone present in the room and then coming to stop at Yun Yuchun.
"Do you think that after you did to me you can justify your actions that easily? I don't know whether you had any options or not but I am sure that what you did to me that night was not something I deserved. So, tell me how do you want him to justify your action when it's been clear that you were never right?"
She said while gazing straight in the eyes of Yun Yuchun. Her lips held a small smile that was not curled up appreciatively rather was curved up in the best disapproving way.
"That night you came to save and protect your son. Damn, you were heroic. But then did you not think that you also turned out to be villainous the moment you took that decision about my life? You not just staked my career but also risked the hope that I carried in myself."
When Chen Rui and Shin Tingming heard Li Xue mentioning that, they were confused.
"Dear, your memory?" Chen Rui asked and Li Xue turned to look at her to nod.
"It's back. Don't worry, this time I won't beg or rely on others to know what happened in my past and what have I forgot. Because I already know all of it now." Li Xue said, and her words held a meaning for them to understand.
Shin Tingming's eyes at once went down, feeling the guilt. He had a lot to explain but given Li Xue's attitude, he knew that even a word of his in defense would not be accepted by the girl at the moment.
At the moment, he could see the protective stance she has taken in front of Feng Shufen.
"Li Xue, I know from where your thoughts are coming but as I have said …" Yun Yuchun tried to say but once again, Li Xue beat her in that.
"That you would never feel guilty of what you have done to me. That even after being given a second chance, you would choose to do the same as what you have done to me that time. I know. I have kept hearing you say that ever since."
"You don't have to repeat it again. But since you have been so firm in your stance, Ma'am, don't you think you should offer us the same.?" Li Xue spoke before explaining her words further.
"Sorry but we won't be able to forgive you for what you did to me. Especially Shufen. So, you better not force him." She said confidently and then turned to look at Feng Shufen on her side.
Feng Shufen's gaze slowly turned to look at her. His cold gaze slowly softened and then his lips curved approving of her statement as if it was exactly his.
Seeing him smiling, Li Xue couldn't hold her lips from curling as well. Then she spoke softly, "Don't worry, darling. I will always be your voice."
On the other hand, Feng Yu Hao could no longer take it. He understood Shufen and Li Xue were right on their part. But still seeing Yun Yuchun like that made him feel otherwise.
So, to help her, he spoke from her side. "Shufen, you might be right for being like that. But never forget that she is your mother. You can't go this strict with her."
He said but it seemed like Feng Shufen didn't hear her. Just when Feng Yu Hao was out to repeat his intention of protecting Yun Yuchun again, a cold declaration rang in the air, ceasing his words down the throat itself.
"I would allow no one to hurt my wife. Not even someone as my mother. So, it doesn't matter." Feng Shufen said and that was snough to answer all the doubts that have been prevailing in the air.
Although Feng Shufen has always been too straightforward in professing his love and care for Li Xue every time, still for some reason it still made Li Xue's heart waver whenever she heard him speaking something such.
Her eyes turned dreamy as she stared at him while her cheeks blushed, displaying the smile on her expressions. The expression on her face completely matched the teenager who had just fallen in love.
At the same time. Feng Shufen checked the time on his watch. Seeing that it was already past evening, he said, "If that was all that you all have been here for then I have made this clear enough. Now I would leave first. My wife and baby need rest and I won't let anything hamper their good time."
He said and then not even caring about other's changing, he wrapped his arms around Li Xue, getting ready to leave.
