Jennie took a deep breath then walked towards him.
Mino closed the scripture he was holding and looked up when he heard some footsteps.
Mino's eyes were tranquil, he did not react much even after he saw who had come in.
"Benefactress Kim..."
Jennie felt immensely helpless against him. He was so determined, even using "benefactress" to address her now!
Jennie pinched the space between her eyebrows, sitting right across Mino as she released a long sigh, "Bro, what are you doing? Why have you suddenly decided to become a monk?"
"I made this decision after quite a long consideration. If you, Benefactress Kim, are here to persuade me, you may leave now."
"Is it because of me?" Jennie asked directly.
"It was all my decision, it is unrelated to anyone."
Jennie took a deep breath and probed further, "May I know why? Even if it was because of what happened last night when you found out that there's someone else whom I like, you don't have to go so far. This is too illogical..."
"Everything is just momentary. A moment of heaven, a moment of hell, a moment of life, a moment of death."
Jennie was on the verge of crying. "Dear Lord, can you please speak like a normal person?"
She was feeling genuinely terrified!
"Benefactress Kim, if you feel guilty, you don't have to because it truly is my own decision," Mino replied.
"What about your parents and your grandfather? Don't you care about them anymore? They've been with you through the years and now you just suddenly decided to become a monk and desert them?"
"This is my fate. They still have Xuan."
Jennie recalled him mentioning that he had a younger brother.
He really had everything well thought out and was fully resolved to become a monk!
"My Lord, Mr. Mino? Can you please give it some more thought? Becoming a monk is not a trivial matter! Three days! Just wait three more days to think it over. It's not too late to make your decision by then!" Jennie tried to persuade him.
"I've already finalized my decision. Please return now." Mino gestured for her to exit the room.
"Mino! Why are you being so stubborn?" Jennie's eyes were burning with rage and frustration. He looked so soft and gentle but he sure was stubborn like an ox!
She almost wanted to knock him out and bring him back by force!
Mino still did not move an inch, sitting in his place like an old rock.
Jennie was already tired from all the talking but she was still not able to persuade him. Suddenly, she got another phone call from her grandfather.
Jennie went out of the room to pick up the call. "Hello, Grandfather..."
"Jennie, what took you so long? How did it go?"
Jennie's heart sank with disappointment in herself. "I'm sorry, Grandfather, I've tried my best, but...it's not working..."
The elder sighed, "Well, I expected this to happen. Come back here, Jennie!"
Jennie ground out between her teeth, "Don't worry, Grandfather. Please wait for a little while. Go and find someplace to rest and have a meal, I'll try again."
"Okay...don't overexert yourself! And wait, Uncle Xi wants to talk to you."
