Next day.

Jiang mansion. ​​

"So are the two brother catching up well?" Weilong inquired.

Shrugging his shoulders, Yihong sighed, "I have no idea but since Yichan voluntarily kept him there, I am hoping for the best."

"Hmm, don't worry, Yichan is a very intelligent and smart boy."

"That is what I fear about Weilong, he is indeed very smart and super quick in finding out things he is curious about." Without waiting for his reply, Yihong inquired, "What about Chen? Haven't seen that since I arrived."

Keeping the cup on the table, Weilong scoffed, "That brat never comes home, he shows up only when Ziyi forces him to. He is working on a project with Ning right now so maybe he is busy."

"Well, isn't that good? Our kids are bonding and having a great time together, we should be happy," Yihong smiled.

"Hmm, we can be happy until everything is running smoothly, I don't even wanna think how Ning is going to react when she learns the truth." Pinching the bridge of heis nose, Weilong sighed, "Things are going to turn very chaotic."

"I heard what your brother did, we shouldn't have trusted that bastard." Gritting his teeth, Yihong mockingly scoffed, "He really has the balls to mess with us."

Taking a sip of his coffee, Weilong gritted his teeth, "That bastard is going to pay for whatever he did." Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "But I also blame myself, if I hadn't left my daughter with them, all of this would have—"

Cutting him off, Yihong explained, "It wasn't your fault, the situation called for it."

"Did the situation call for you as well?" Walking towards his father, Yichan mockingly chuckled, "Or let's say that you left because the situation called for it and you came back because your friend called you back?"

Scrunching his brows, Weilong inquired, "Yichan you—"

"I let him in," Chen smiled before slumping on the couch. "Geez, this couch is no more comfortable, I think it's time to change it dad."

Looking at his son and Yichan simultaneously, Weilong inquired, "You both know each other?"

"Pfft of course we do, I mean, our dad's are such close friends and grandpa's too so shouldn't we be friends too?" Without waiting for his father's reply, Chen added, "Anyway, Yichan wanted to meet the two of you together and I happen to know that you both are here so I brought him over."

Glancing at the watch, Yichan sighed, "I don't have any more time to waste so I'll straightaway get to the point, I am not here to taunt you or force you to say anything." Pausing for a while, he smiled, "I am here to give you both something. You know, a small reward for being such great parents. It's something that you both have been looking for quite some time, I am sure you will like it."

"You kidding me? They are going to freaking love it," Chen chuckled.

Taking out his phone, Yichan called someone and instructed, "Bring him in."

After a few seconds, Linhou entered the mansion with his hands hooked around Darwin's neck. "There you go buddy, I guess this is it but don't forget me after meeting your old buddies, okay? Always remember that I am your savior."

Widening his eyes in shock, Weilong muttered, "Darwin."

Taking a step towards his father who was staring at him, Yichan narrowed his eyes. Looking at Weilong, he mockingly scoffed, "Your friend is just like you, a coward." Glaring at Yihong, he snapped, "Don't try to cover up your cowardness by blaming the situation, that makes you look very pitiful and hopeless."

Pausing for a while, he added, "Stay away from my family, especially Ning and stop playing your dirty tricks on Yitian. Try to be a good father at least for one of your sons."

When Yihong lowered his head, Yichan walked out of the mansion.

Chen quickly got up and patted his dad's shoulder, "You got your friend back, I hope you are very happy, dad. I would have stayed back to entertain you guys but I need to follow my brother-in-law." Without waiting for their reply, he ran out of the mansion.

….

Ning and Yichan's place.

Evening.

Inside the kitchen

After giving aunt Lin a day off, Ning was busy preparing dinner for everyone. Since Yichan had an important meeting, he couldn't drop by for lunch so she ordered take outs instead of cooking a meal for herself.

Just then, a guard knocked at the kitchen door. "Lady boss, there is someone to see the boss."

"Who is it?"

"Roger William," he answered.

Wiping her hands in the apron, she instructed, "Let him in, I'll inform Yichan."

After the guard left, she quickly called Yichan and told him about Rogers' arrival.

"Yes babe, he called me a few minutes ago. Just let him in, I'll be there in fifteen," Yichan answered.

"Don't rush, take all the time you need and don't worry about me, I'll be fine," she assured him before hanging up the call.

...

Living room.

When Roger saw Ning, he quickly got up and hesitantly explained, "I-I am here to meet Yichan."

"I know, he is on the way," she answered before sitting on the edge.

"Yeah, I had a talk with him too." Keeping quiet for quite some time, he added, "I'll wait outside."

"It's okay Roger, you can wait here." Pausing for a while, she inquired, "Do you want to have something?" When he shook his head, she added, "Let me make some strawberry smoothie for you."

"Hmm the one with extra strawberry syrup and cream?" When she nodded her head, he smiled, "Okay."

After some time, Ning came out with two big glasses of strawberry smoothies. She gave one to him and sat down beside him. "I heard about your sister, I didn't know that—"

Swirling the straw, he sighed, "It's alright, you didn't know and I also never told you so—" Pausing for a while, he added, "I heard that she approached you twice."
