Playboy 2
************
CHAPTER 10
One was a game freak that loved nothing but his game and junks.
The other was a workaholic doctor who takes his job and his kid sister like his lifeline and Li Fengjin was a playboy at heart.
How could any of these male gods have time for a relationship? They were all playboys and knew when and where to flirt.
"Are you kidding me? Don't mum know the playboy's number one rule?" Yang Chen asked. It was a popular thing that playboys don't do relationships. They wanted no strings attached.
"Oh, she knows very well about the rules, trust me. But she bugging every morning. That has become my wake up alarm. So annoying," Li Fengjin whined.
"Well it's your fault Jin," Ye Chaoxiang chided.
"What do you mean my fault?"
"Yeah, Xiang. Please do enlighten us on how it is Jin's fault."
"Ahem. Well, we all know that despite the playboy image Jin portrays for himself, he is only a Playboy at heart and not in action. So knowing this, his sweetheart thought he is preserving himself like those naive girls that wait for their wedding night. So..."
"She is trying to force him into a relationship the same way he forced her to accept his playboy nature," Yang Chen completed.
"Partly correct but not fully," Ye Chaoxiang continued.
"She feels that her son has not gotten over his ex-girlfriend. She thinks he's trying to put on a front that he does not care about their break up and he can be wild. So to crown it all, she wants to help you move on."
The last part of his analysis was meant for Li Fengjin. His ex-girlfriend left him because he was too innocent during his teens. So instead of letting her see that he still loved her, Li Fengjin built himself to be the most sort after bachelor in the country.
He became the number one playboy but he had not gotten laid yet. That was his biggest secret.
"Yeah, whatever. I'm so over her now. I have moved on as she did." That was true but sometimes he still felt hurt when he sees her with her new boyfriend.
So he would go to the club his family owned and drink the pain away and take a lady with him to his private room in the hotel but he would never touch her.
Every time he tried he felt disgusted and no matter how hot all those ladies were, he never got aroused. He did not know what was wrong with him.
His parents thought he had erectile dysfunction but that was not it. So sometimes his mother would send a lady to his room when he was drunk but there was no result. All efforts proved abortive.
Sigh! What a case!
"Well, that's all in the past now. Mum is just worried over nothing. I am perfectly fine," Li Fengjin finalized. He did not want anyone to pity him or get worried over him as though he was some kid.
"Okay, I am beginning to feel choked," Yang Chen said awkwardly.
He was the fun amongst them. He hated it when any of them had a sour mood.
"Yeah. Oh, before it slips my mind, we have been cooked up in work lately so I thought we could chill out sometimes. What do you guys think?" Li Fengjin suggested they go to their favourite club since it had been a long time they went out together.
"That is a splendid idea. You know what? I have two days' leave from the hospital so we could go the day after tomorrow," Ye Chaoxiang said.
He was the busiest since his occupation required his time twenty-four-seven, especially in cases of emergencies when it wasn't his shift.
So they usually spend time together when he was free because Li Fengjin and Yang Chen were always free except something important came up.
With everything decided, they talked about random things as they drank their coffee for the remaining thirty minutes they had before work hours started. After that, they bade themselves goodbye and went to their various places of work.

The afternoon came. While citizens were going about their daily routine, Bai Renxiang was in a frenzy. At this moment she was in a hospital, sitting in the waiting room close to the emergency room.
*Flashback*
She had just returned from taking a walk down the street to clear up her mind. She headed straight to her room after she had quenched her thirst. On her way to get the room, Jiang Meilin's door was slightly left ajar.
Coming to think of it, she had assumed that her mother was sleeping that was why she did not welcome her when she came.
But seeing Jiang Meilin's room door open, she felt disturbed about it so she went to check on her.
The sight Bai Renxiang met was scary. On the floor close to the bed, her mother just laid there unconscious. With unsteady steps, Bai Renxiang rushed to her mother.
"M-mum? Mum, mummy it's me little Ren. I'm back from my walk. Are you not going to hug me?" She shook Jiang Meilin lightly. Tears began to flow down her eyes. She was scared.
"Mum you scaring me already. Okay, you got me. So stop playing pranks and wake up. MUM!" She did not know what to do. Her mother was fine before she left so what happened now? Why was she laying there unconscious?
Looking around in tears, Bai Renxiang saw pills all over the flow. She took the container and read the name. It was some kind of drug for a kidney cancer patient.
How long has her mother been on these pills? Why did she not inform her about it?
Without wasting extra time, Bai Renxiang quickly ordered a cab. She had no one to call that could help her. The only person that supported her was unconscious in her arms.
Why did everything have to get worse?
