Chapter 178 - Two-Faced Coin (3) (2/2)

Only then King Jin woke up from his thoughts. He looked at her and said. "I wanna meet him."

Yi Ling sighed and wiped the tears from his eyes. Seeing that he looked proper, she got up from the bed and pulled his hand. "Let's go." She gave him an encouraging smile.

King Jin gulped down his saliva and got out of bed. Somehow, he trusted her words. If it was true, then it all makes sense. He didn't doubt that Meiling could separate his soul. After all, she was supposedly the strongest Ruler in existence. "En". He replied and followed her out.

Waiting outside, Minzhe was pacing around. Unable to calm his nerves down and his heart was scared at what was happening inside. Hearing the door opened, he stopped and looked.

Yi Ling came out and was holding King Jin's hand as she guided her out of the room. He was still weak but not incapable. Just that, Yi Ling found it nice to hold his hand. Unlike when she was with Muxin, where she becomes timid and shy. Yi Ling was more provocative and aggressive with her feelings towards King Jin. This was because she had gotten used to his rough personality rather than Muxin's gentle mannerism.

"Father... Mother..." Minzhe stood in front of them. He saw that his mother gave him a reassuring smile and that made him sign in relief. Looking at his father's deep purple eyes, there were still questions there and weariness.

"Son, where is your other father?" Yi Ling asked. Well, he couldn't just say father when the other one was there. So she could only word it as "other father". Somehow, she even thought that she had married two men. What kind of fickle woman was she? To be in love with both men? She shake her head and tried to listen to what her son was about to say.

"Father went to his study." Minzhe bit his lips and observed his other father's reaction.

King Jin didn't say a word to him, instead he looked at the woman beside him. "Ling'er..."

"Hmm?" Yi Ling looked at him.

"I want to talk to him." King Jin patted her hair and added. "Just us two. Would that be alright?"

Yi Ling stared at his deep purple eyes. She knew that he still have questions that needed answers. Answers that only his other self could give and she knew that Muxin didn't want her to know yet. She was still weak to handle those. She could only nod and smile. "Minzhe, guide your father to his study. I'll wait in my courtyard when you guys are done."

She didn't bother looking at King Jin. Although she understands, she somehow felt isolated. There were things that she should know yet it wasn't time. It made her somewhat feel sad. Whatever, let them talk it out. She thought.

Seeing Yi Ling left coldly, King Jin sighed and nodded to his son. He needed to hear some things that Yi Ling wasn't ready to hear.

Minzhe sighed as well. He could only lead his father to his other father. Life was complicated enough to have two fathers. Luckily, his mother was only one. He would probably die out of frustration if his mother became two persons as well.
