Mr. Wang told Wang Yibo to accompany Xiao Zhan who is still near the poolside. A-yuan, Jin-yi, and Jin-Ling act like three musketeers and followed Wang Yibo who is now heading to the pool. The kids are chasing each other. When all of them reach the pool, Wang Yibo saw Xiao Zhan in the other corner wiping his tears. He put his right index finger in his mouth to inform the kids not to make noise.

“Ssshh, stay here. I will scare him.” The three kids hide behind the pillar and the kids carefully watch and thrill when Wang Yibo is getting closer to Xiao Zhan. They feel excited about what will happen and the three giggles. Xiao Zhan stands up and walks to the poolside, he accidentally trips his own foot and almost falls to the pool. Wang Yibo who is planning to scare Xiao Zhan to entertain the three kids quickly runs and grabs Xiao Zhan's waist and quickly picks Xiao Zhan's legs and carries him in a bridal style.

“Bun-bun..what are you doing?”

“I...I..put me down..”

“No...why you are so clumsy..”

“Who wants to trip himself huh?”

“Be careful ok, I am worried.”

“Don't worry, I know how to swim already.”

Wang Yibo put him down and cupped Xiao Zhan's face.

“Still, I am worried..”

“W-why..?”

“Because I care..”

“W-why do you care...? Xiao Zhan's heart melts and gulped his saliva when he feels Wang Yibo's breath.

Wang Yibo didn't answer at all, instead, his right hand pulled Xiao Zhan's slim waist and the other hand holding his chin while the thumb is playing his mole under his lips.

“Yi-Yibo...I...” Xiao Zhan anticipated the situation, his heart is pounding hard and Wang Yibo is pulling his face closer to his and he unconsciously closes his eyes. Wang Yibo kisses him lightly until it becomes passionate. The two are kissing hard and aggressively when they heard a little noise of laughing and giggling. Wang Yibo breaks the kiss and lets go of Xiao Zhan's body.

“Roaaaar! Wang Yibo made a fake roar and show his imaginary claw and begun to chase the three little kids.

“Eeeeeekkkkk!!!” The kids scream in unison and run towards the kitchen door going back to the living room. Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo are laughing when they reach the place.

“Papa! Papa!” Jing-Yi called Hai Kuan.

“What is it, baby?”

“Uncle Yibo said he will scare the pretty uncle but he kissed him. Hihihi.” Jing-yi said in between his breaths.

“Yeah, when I get back home, I will scare our neighbor Fan Xing too.” Jin-Ling blurted innocently.

“No, no...it's not like that Jin-Ling. Xiao Zhan's face turns red. Everybody laughs and A-yuan hug his leg.

“Daddy, where is my Dad?” A-yuan asked out of curiosity when he heard Jing-yi called his Papa.

“Ahmmm..son..y-your Dad is....” Xiao Zhan's hand trembles and his forehead is starting to sweat as he picks his son and clung him on his waist. Wang Yibo is gazing at him intently and waiting for him to tell who is A-yuan's father.

Wang Yibo's heart is pounding hard, he is hoping and excited to hear that he is the father of A-yuan.

Ding Dong!

Everyone looks at the door and Mrs. Wang who left earlier comes back that soon.

“Guys, let's go, we need to eat dinner, the kids are hungry already.” Mrs. Wang said when Wang Yibo opened the door.

Xiao Zhan released a heavy breath as he let go of the tension on how he will answer the A-yuan question. Mr. Wang massage his temple when his wife interrupted the situation.

After the get-together-dinner at the private restaurant, everyone bid farewell. The kids were really tired and A-yuan fall asleep on Wang Yibo's lap.

“Zhan honey, let Yibo send you home ok. The kid is tired,” said Mrs. Wang and they left.

“Zhan, you drive, let me hold your son...”

Xiao Zhan halted for seconds. He heard it clearly, Wang Yibo emphasized the word you. He pretends he didn't notice it. He walks to the backseat and opens the door for Wang Yibo and A-yuan. After closing the door, he walks to the driver seat and starts the engine. Xiao Zhan drives silently and from time to time he is checking the two at the back through the rear mirror. Sometimes, their eyes met and Xiao Zhan is trying to avoid Wang Yibo's gaze. Wang Yibo feel it, Xiao Zhan is anxious, he averted his gaze to the window until they reach Xiao Zhan's apartment.

Xiao Zhan asked to take A-yuan from Wang Yibo but he rejected him. He is hugging A-yuan tightly and Xiao Zhan just walks to the main door and open the door for him.

“Welcome to my house.” Xiao Zhan whisper. He doesn't like to wake up A-yuan.

“Where is the bed?”

“Third door, to the left.”

The apartment is spacious and has three rooms and a nice living room, the design is so simple yet pleasing to the eyes. He gestured where exactly is A-yuan's room but still, Xiao Zhan followed them after closing the door. Wang Yibo lay down the sleeping child and Xiao Zhan helped him fix the pillow and cover A-yuan up to his chest.

Wang Yibo stretches his numb right arm while walking out of the room. Xiao Zhan opens the aircon and lampshade and followed by Wang Yibo. He closed the main light of the room and leave the door slightly open.

“You want something to drink like tea, coffee or water?” Xiao Zhan offered when they reach the living room.

“Green tea please.” Wang Yibo answered.

Xiao Zhan walks towards the kitchen and didn't notice that Wang Yibo is following him. He is about to open the cupboard to take out cups for tea when he feels the familiar arms snaked to his slim waist. Xiao Zhan didn't move and feel the warm embrace from his back. Wang Yibo is sniffing his nape.

“Bun-bun, my Zhan...”

“Yibo..let go!” Xiao Zhan quickly removes Wang Yibo's hands. He knows his heart will betray him again.

“Zhan...I thought you missed me..”

“What happened this afternoon, I don't....”

“Ok!” Wang Yibo cut him from talking and to his surprise, Wang Yibo stormed out of his apartment just like that and left him dumbfounded. What's with him, I just want to tell him, I don't want him to touch me again because my ass is still sore. Hmp! Xiao Zhan pouted and just let Wang Yibo go.

Wang Yibo is not pleased, he felt rejected, and his heart clenches in pain from Xiao Zhan's action. Xiao Zhan really pulled the last string of his patience. He just wants to cuddle him. And also he wants to tell him about his schedule. He has an urgent business trip to attend in Europe. Because he is sulking, he didn't call or message Xiao Zhan and just relay the message to his secretary. He knows Xiao Zhan will miss him.

After three days, Xiao Zhan received a call from Wang Yibo's secretary. Mr. Ken informed him that the deal about the auction bidding is over. Xiao Zhan felt guilty and days becomes week and weeks becomes a month. He never heard again from Wang Yibo. He wants to ask Mr. Ken but he is hesitant. He can't ask directly from his in-laws either. He thought Wang Yibo is avoiding him and don't want to see him at all.

Xiao Zhan missed Wang Yibo already but he has no guts to approach the person and he feels anxious and he can't decide properly. He doesn't know how he will tell Wang Yibo the reason why he left and who is A-yuan's father. He wants to tell Wang Yibo how much he missed him and his feeling never changed. He still loves him. What happened between them last time is not just lust and desire. Xiao Zhan knows exactly that he is submissive because he truly loves Wang Yibo.

Wang Yibo on the other hand is just waiting for Xiao Zhan's message but to his dismay, no message. He is also waiting for the day Xiao Zhan will tell him everything. He is always ready and willing to listen. He is out of the country for a business trip for almost one month. He just arrived two days ago and because of paperwork, he can't leave his office.

Mr. Ken knocked on his office to inform him that his cousin arrived and wanted to meet him in the restaurant for lunch. Mr. Ken gave the name of the restaurant and the address. Wang Yibo checked the time, it's almost lunch so he prepares himself and quickly grabs his car key and drive fast to the said restaurant.

Xiao Zhan is having a luncheon meeting with his clients in the same restaurant.
He is busy explaining important matters when he was distracted by a woman near their table who stands up from her chair and wave her hand. Xiao Zhan recognized her, she was the woman from the jewelry shop eight years ago.

“Yibo! Over here!”

“Bhabie! Did I make you wait?”

“No. I just arrived too.”

“Did you miss me?” his cousin asked.

“Very much!” Wang Yibo answered nonchalantly.

Xiao Zhan lost his focus after hearing that 'Bhabie'. So you are still dating now that's why you canceled the deal and never contacted me at all. Xiao Zhan tried to relax and after ten more minutes, he stands up together with his two male clients and he bowed and extend his arms. Wang Yibo finally noticed him and he was shocked.

“Thank you for choosing me, see you next week.” Xiao Zhan smile cutely.

Wang Yibo widened his eyes, he saw Xiao Zhan gave him a death glare before he leaves the restaurant.
