Chapter 172 - King Jins Fury (2) (1/2)
The first time that he had seen Yi Ling in Huaxia, his heart bleeds for her. His eyes shed tears that he could not explain. He wanted to keep her for himself as if he was afraid to lose her. If what his son was telling the truth, then why would his wife punish him? Unless... Unless Yi Ling was indeed Meiling. This realization hit him hard, he sat back down on his throne unconsciously. Does that mean that his Meiling still hated him? Is that the reason why his son hated him too? If this was the case, it would all make sense. For he himself, he hated what he had become. But not once had he regretted saving her life. Meiling was the woman he had longed for. The only one who he will die for.
Seeing the internal changes in his father's eyes, Jin Minzhe had already guessed that his father had already picked up the pieces. Jin Muxin was an intelligent person, outstanding in talent and beauty. Still, he had sinned. Though his mother had already forgiven him, doesn't mean that he could not hate him. "Mother remembers some of her previous lives."
"Previous lives?" King Jin's mind went haywire. Bells were ringing, his chest was pounding. Instantly, he was in front of his son. Both of his hands landed on Jin Minzhe's shoulders. "Tell me and you mustn't lie. Yi Ling. Is Yi Ling, my Ling'er?" Though he had never mentioned Meiling to his son, only if his son confirms it would he know the truth.
Looking at his father's actions, Jin Minzhe could see the resemblance with his father inside the Ring. There was tenderness on his purple eyes, as he mentioned the name 'Ling'er'. Not only so, but he also had dropped the third person identity when he asked the question. Since this was his mother's wish, he didn't have the heart to deny it. "Mother is indeed Meiling."
King Jin's body instantly went weak and he fell. Luckily, Jin Minzhe was close and he was able to hold on to his father before he landed on the floor. His father's complexion went pale, his skin went cold and he was trembling. "Does... Does she still hate me?"
After years and years of waiting, he finally heard some news of her. Did she hate him that much? For her to remove his memories of her? What happened in those memories? Surely it wasn't bad? Why else would Jin Minzhe come to be? Then a thought came into him. She must've not known his identity when they had met. When the vile woman came again, it released her old memories along with her hatred. He closed his eyes, tears fell on his face. "I really did sin. No wonder you hated your own father. I'm so sorry son, I'm so sorry." King Jin's clenched his teeth tightly. Afraid that he would breakdown. The two times he broke down when he lost her twice in this life. Now that she is back again, he no longer had the face to meet with her.
Jin Minzhe was astounded. These actions of his father was the same as when he had met his father again after his mother ran away. He could feel his sadness and guilt. As well as his deep love for his mother Yi Ling. "Mother did hated you but she forgives you now. That's is the reason why I'm here."
"What did you say?" King Jin instantly held his son's hand. He didn't think that he had heard him right. That can't be it, can it?
"I say, you are getting old and becoming deaf." Jin Minzhe shakes his head.
King Jin smacked his son's head. "Who are you calling old?! Now, say it again! Did you say that your mother has forgiven me?"
"Aw... That hurts!" Jin Minzhe held his head. This was indeed his father. It was exactly the same when his father's version inside the Ring does to him, when his father isn't happy with him.
"Are you going to speak or not?!" The temperature dropped again. As if King Jin wasn't sad a moment ago.
