As a mother, she could not just watch her son turn himself into an addict and ruin his future because of a woman.
Liu Wei's eyes strayed at the ashtray. It was really full of cigarette butts. He just shut his eyes and let his body sink on the sofa, unconcealable look of loneliness hanging on his face.
The both of them did not speak and just remained silent.
After a while, Liu Wei finally opened his mouth. "What should I do if I fall in love with someone I shouldn't love?"
Perhaps, due to his excessive smoking, his voice sounded hoarse and deep, revealing a sense of helplessness and hopelessness.
Huo Jianqi was shocked.
She had not seen him so vulnerable before. He looked at her son and cruelly spouted, "Then, don't fall in love"
"Eh?" Liu Wei's eyes blinked in bewilderment.
"Yes, don't miss her, don't think of her. Don't look at her and don't hold any hopes regarding her" Huo Jianqi retorted coldly, trying very hard to remain emotionless.
Liu Wei did not reply and only closed his eyes without any expression.
However, Huo Jianqi continued cruelly, "Cut off those feeling. Make a clean break up"
"Make a clean break up? If only it is that easy"he said dully.
"..." his mother could only keep quiet and watch him.
Liu Wei uttered with much pain and frustration, "But... I want her"
"Her? Is it Xiao li?" Huo Jianqi held her head resignedly, "But there are so many women out there, why must it be her?"
"She gives me the feel" he replied after a long pause.
Huo Jianqi's anger flared up when she heard his words. She could not accept it at all. She could not understand why this man was so infatuated with Xiao li.
"What feeling is that?" she asked.
Upon hearing her question, a smile started to form on his lips, "She gives me... a warm feeling"
"Warm feeling?" She asked, confused.
"Yes... Being with her feels like home" the man paused for a moment before continuing. "What I want, only she can give it to me, no one else"
"Stop letting your thoughts run wild. You will definitely meet someone more suitable"
Liu Wei furrowed his brows, but remained quiet.
---
Next morning at the Liu's mansion.
Huo Jianqi had woken up very early to have the chefs cook something for her son. She was worried that he might be hungry immediately he woke up and would drink again because of the matter between him and Xiao li.
The scene yesterday was disheartening and as a mother, she wouldn't want to see it happen again.
Hence, she made up his mind to make her son get a girlfriend before the love he had for Xiao li ruin his life.
She had always wanted her son to marry someone that he loved and would not have problem with. That was why she chose Xiao li, but who knew it would turn out this way.
She saw how irritated her son was and decided to ruin Xiao li's reputation.
If her son was not happy, then she would never let Xiao li find her happiness!
What was so good about Xiao li?
She is just a white lotus...
Just as she was about to bring the food to her son's room, she saw him coming out of his room. He was already dressed up for work.
Liu Wei looked at his mother and smiled at her, "Mom, why are you awake?" As he spoke, he walked up to his mother and held her hands.
It was like a dream. The Liu Wei standing in front of her now was different from the lonely and depressed him she saw yesterday.
Unlike the vulnerability he showed yesterday, his smile today carried a hint of happiness and he looked like nothing happened to him yesterday's night.
Huo Jianqi thought it would really affect him if she didn't take immediate action, but seeing her son smiling, she felt the heavy burden in her heart being lifted.
It was true that Liu Wei was handsome. At least, he was among the top ten. He has everything a woman would wish for in man and it wasn't difficult for him to get the woman he wanted.
Every woman out there wanted to be with him and fill the empty space Xiao li left. Knowing that he was now single, this made them optimistic as they were sure that they was a chance for them to be with Liu Wei.
"Aiya, I woke up very early to cook for you. Why are you dressed like this? Shouldn't you be resting at home?"
"No, I have some business to attend to at the company" he looked at the dishes in the tray as he spoke.
As soon as she heard his words, it was as if something sharp pierced through her heart. She frowned in pain. She soon realised that this young chap hadn't had a good rest for a long time and it was making her heart ache.
If only she could help him.
She reached out her hand to cup one side of his handsome, good looking face as she spoke, "Son, you need to be able to take care of your body. You are not growing younger anymore. You shouldn't work yourself to death"
If he had a wife, then she would support him and this wouldn't happen. She would make sure that he wouldn't work so tiredlessly to late at night at the company.
Just as she was about to speak, Liu Wei had already kisses her forehead, saying, "I'm gonna be late for work if I don't go now. Bye, I love you"
Before she could react, he had already walked away unhurriedly and she could only sigh.
It was all Xiao li's fault. If she didn't cheat on him, he wouldn't have end up like this. Wretched woman!
Huo Jianqi heartlessly cursed Xiao li in her heart.
Back at the Wang's mansion, Xiao li who was about to eat the steamed pork buns suddenly sneezed. "Achoo-"
Wang Shu, who sat opposite her suddenly looked at her worriedly and asked in a voice filled with concern, "Little Lili, did you catch a cold?"
Before Xiao li could even open her mouth to talk, Madam Wang Shu had already turned to look at her son and spoke in anger, "Wretched son, what did you do to my Little Lili? That was why I didn't want her to stay with you last night. What did you do to her?"
Anyone who saw this and didn't know them really well would think that Jingyi Wang bullied Xiao li with the way Wang Shu just accused Jingyi Wang.
What sort of wrong accusation is that?
Upon hearing his mother's words, Jingyi Wang raised his head to look at her, his lips twisted in dissatisfaction, "Ask her what I did to her last night?"
Xiao li who heard him looked at him in shock and surprise.
This man... What is he trying to say?
"Eh?" Wang Shu eyes lit up as she turned to look at Xiao li. "Little Lili, hurry up and tell me what you both did last night"
"No. No. We didn't do anything last night" Xiao li hurriedly shook her head before Wang Shu got the wrong idea. Her face was already turning red in embarrassment.
Upon hearing Xiao li's words, Wang Shu's face fell, but she looked at Jingyi Wang again, "You bullied my little Lili then"
