EPILOGUE: Zhan's POV
Here we go with the epilogue. I hope you will enjoy it <3 <3
Three years later
Xiao Zhan's POV
"I will go home now, Dad," I said and my dad looked up from his papers.
"Alright. Drive straight home and don't wander around. Be careful while driving and make sure you are buckled up. See you at dinner." He answered and I grinned before leaving his office.
I am now 21 years old and graduate from University three months ago as one of the best. I studied only three years instead of 4 because I was a genius. That is what everyone calls me. A genius.
Despite my age, my parents, and I mean all four of them, are constantly worried about me. Telling me not to wander around and take care of myself. Normal people would get annoyed but not me. I loved that my parents were worried about me.
I left the building where my dad had his doctor's office and walked towards my car. I made my driver's license two years ago and was now driving the car my mother and my father gifted me on my 18 birthday.
Since I graduated three months ago, I worked part-time at my dad's office until I got used to the work. It was very exciting to see how my dad did his work and I promised myself to be as good as he was.
Every day I would wake up at 7 am, made breakfast for all the people in the house together with my mom, then dad and I would go to work where I will stay until 1 pm before going home. Dad would work until 7 pm.
Was I happy? Yes, but not entirely. Why? Because I was missing Yibo terribly. We talked on the phone every day and would Skype every night but that was far by enough. Especially the last four months it was difficult for me because Yibo was often too busy to talk to me on the phone for more than 5 minutes and at night he would fall asleep during the video call. In the morning he would write a message where he told me he was sorry and on the same day I would get a bouquet Yibo gifted me. That made me forgive almost immediately.
I hoped to get to see him on my graduation day, but he was too occupied in America to come to my graduation. It's been three years now since he left and he should have been home by now. He promised to come back after three years of training but he was not yet back. He has now taken over the position of CEO after the decision was made at the shareholder meeting.
Yibo was doing a very good job and the income increased by 40 % since he started to work there. My biological parents were very satisfied with him and were already talking about him taking over the company in china in a few years once my parents decided to retire.
I wasn't mad at him for not being home yet. I was happy he did a wonderful job and that he was taking it seriously. I was just missing him very much and I was disappointed that he seemed to be more serious about the job than about me. I know I was overreacting but I wished he would call me more often and when we Skype, that he would not fall asleep within 10 minutes.
I sighed to myself and parked the car in the garage. I stepped out of it and instead of going into Yibo's and my own little house on the property, I went to the main house where my family lived. I opened the front door and when I stepped into the living room, I saw Yuan, my three years old little brother sitting on the floor drawing in a coloring book.
"Hey, Yuan. I am home." I said and the little boy looked up and smiled before running up to me.
Yuan did not speak. Not because he couldn't but because he liked the quietness. When it was too loud, he would hide somewhere where it was quiet. I picked him up and kissed him on his cheeks. He frowned and I chuckled. He hated kisses too.
"Don't make that face, Yuan. It was just a kiss. A kiss that should tell you that I love you." I said amused and he pouted. "Okay. Next time I will ask for permission, okay?" He nodded and I smiled.
I wanted to let him down but he struggled so I kept him on my arm. "You do know that soon I will not be able to carry you around for long, right? Because the older you get, the heavier you will be."
Yuan looked at me as if I had offended him. "It's because your bones are growing and you will naturally get heavier. I am not telling you you get fat, Yuan." I laughed and he hid his face in my neck. "Tell me, where are the others?" I wanted to know and Yuan pointed upstairs.
"Where?" I asked again and he once again pointed upstairs. "I can't understand what you mean, Yuan..." I pretended to be clueless and heard him sighing.
"Upstairs." He answered and I grinned. I had to make him talk more. He can't keep quiet forever, right?
"Ah, you mean upstairs. Why didn't you say so?" I asked amused and with my little brother in my arms, I climbed up the stairs where mom just came out of her bedroom.
"Xiao Zhan, home already?" She looked at her watch and opened her eyes in surprise. "I just wanted to relax a few minutes... turned out I slept 3 hours....."
"You need it, mom. If you are still tired go to bed. I am going to watch the kids."
She smiled and walked up to me. "You are my angel, Xiao Zhan. But thanks to the last 3 hours I am not tired anymore. How was it at work?
"Good. Like usually. I can't wait to start working full-time, especially when dad gets a lot of new patients every day. If I see how the children are struggling.... It somehow reminds me of myself and I am dying to help them."
"I bet you are. But you are better now. And I thank god for that." She answered and kissed me on my forehead.
Yes, I was better now. I had no panic attacks and I also wasn't scared of women anymore. When one walked up to me, I could shake their hands and welcome them with a smile. Now and then I would still get nightmares but the frequency was getting lesser.
"When will your dad be home?" Mom asked me and I quickly concentrated back on her.
"Around 7 pm."
"Good, I will start preparing dinner at 6 pm. Until then I will go down and clean the living room. I bet by now it looks like a mess." Mom chuckled and I laughed.
"Not really," I answered and Yuan in my arms started to struggle. "What is wrong, Yuan? Talk to me or I can't understand you."
"Want to go back and draw." He answered silently and I nodded before letting him down. He walked towards the stairs and soon he was gone.
"I don't know how you do it but when your dad or I try to make him speak, he refuses to do so...."
"Yeah, It took me weeks for him to make him speak to me. Be patient and continue to try, mom. I bet he will start to talk more sooner or later."
"I hope so. I will go down now. You?"
I shook my head and nodded towards the stairs leading upstairs where we could hear things falling on the ground as well as little feet trampling around. "I will check on the others."
Mom sighed. "Do that. Our poor FanXing is probably going crazy soon. Once I am done I will go upstairs too and clean the mess."
"I can do that too, mom."
"I know. But I would be very thankful if you would bathe them. That would help me a lot." She answered and I laughed.
"Got it. I will bath them."
"My angel Xiao Zhan." She said and hugged me. "What would I do without you?"
"Everything but surviving," I answered amused and she chuckled before nodding in agreement. Once she went downstairs, I took the stairs towards the 2nd floor where I could find my three baby sisters and the mess they created. I bet it would take a while for mom to clean this.
I watched Ai, An, and An Ni toddle around in front of FanXing's room and I shook my head in amusement. The triplets loved FanXing the most and were constantly following him around. They wanted to play with him all day long and could throw a tantrum if FanXing refuses to do so. The triplets were 2 years old now and kept us busy all day long.
"Hey, you three. What are you doing in front of your brother's room?" I asked them and all three of them looked at me in shock before toddling up to me. Ai and An started hugging my leg while An Ni, the youngest of them, started to whine until I picked her up for a kiss before letting her down again.
Once I gave Ai and An a kiss as well, they toddled back towards FanXing's room. For now, they were still too small to reach the doorknob but once they would be able to reach it, FanXing would be in a lot of trouble.
Before I would bathe them, I decided to check in FanXing. So I walked towards the door and turned to my sisters who were looking at me expectantly. I then looked towards the stairs and pointed at nothing. "Look," I said and when the triplets looked to where I pointed, I used the chance to enter FanXing's room as quickly as possible and closed the door immediately.
When I couldn't see FanXing I frowned. On his desk were today's homework and I saw he was already done with them I nodded satisfied and wanted to leave again to start looking for him until I saw one of his feet looking out from under the bed. I crouched and saw my 9 years old brother sleeping hidden under his bed.
"FanXing, you will catch a cold if you sleep down there," I said and tried to pull him out as carefully as possible to not wake him up. Unfortunately, my brother had a light sleep so he woke up when I wanted to carry him to his bed.
"Big brother, you are home." He mumbled and I ruffled through his hair.
"Yes, I am. Why did you sleep under your bed?"
"After finishing my homework I wanted to go down and watch some TV but the triples showed up and wanted to play. It's tiresome to play with them all day long so I hid down there."
"Our sisters are too small to reach the doorknob yet." I chuckled but he looked at me skeptically.
"They would have definitely thrown a tantrum until Yuan would come and let them in my room just so he would have his peace," He answered and when I thought about it I started to laugh.
"Yeah, that would probably have happened. But still, sleeping under the bed could make you catch a cold. You know what? Next time when you come from school, you can go to Yibo's and my house and make your homework over there. That way the triplets will have to keep themselves busy by playing with someone else. I will give you a key later."
FanXing's eyes started to sparkle and he hugged me immediately. "Thank you, big brother."
I laughed and hugged him back. "Your welcome. In return, you have to help me bathing our sisters now." I told him and albeit he did not look very happy, he agreed to my term. "Great! Then let's get started, shall we?"
The next hour FanXing and I bathed Ai, An and An Ni. I let them play with FanXing in the meanwhile and watched them carefully. By the time we were done, the mess in the hall disappeared. As the triplets were now tired FanXing and I brought them to bed. Thankfully they fell asleep instantly and Yuan and I went down to the living room to watch some TV. Yuan was looking at us in disapproval first but later climbed on the sofa and my lap. 10 Minutes later he fell asleep and I carried him to his room before going back to FanXing.
"That smells wonderful, darling." Dad came home the minute dinner was ready.
"It is incomprehensible how you manage to come home every day the minute the meal is ready." Mom laughed and kissed my dad. Dad grinned brightly and returned her kiss.
"Where are the kids?" He asked and I pointed at the living room.
"They woke up half an hour ago and are still a little moody. The girls are bathed but Yuan isn't yet."
"Got it. Then I will bathe Yuan after dinner. Now, let's call them over so we can eat. I am very hungry." Dad answered and 5 minutes later we sat in the dining room.
Once I was done I looked at the clock. In America, it was 7 am and Yibo was either having breakfast now or, and that was more likely, he was sitting in his office already.
"Mom, Dad, may I stand up and make a call?" I asked them and when they nodded I walked into the living room and dialed a number.
"Oh my god, my baby boy is calling. How are you doing?" My mother's voice sounded out of the phone and I chuckled.
"It's 7 in the morning and you are in a good mood? What happened?"
"Nothing, my son, I am just happy you are calling. I am missing you." Mother said and suddenly I heard another voice in the background.
"Is that my son?" Father asked mother and I heard an unhappy growl.
"Our son, darling. He is our son!"
"True, but he comes more after me so we are closer than you two. Hey, Xiao Zhan. Is everything fine over there?"
"Yes, father. What about LinXing?" I wanted to know as I was missing that little girl.
"Your sister is doing fine as well. She is still sleeping so you can't talk to her right now." Father answered.
"It's okay. Next time then... How is work?"
"Xiao Zhan, you are really.....Oh my..." Father started to laugh and I frowned.
"What?" I asked him confused.
"Why don't you call Yibo directly, hm? Wouldn't that be a lot easier than calling us to ask how he is doing? Since when are you so shy?"
"Shaofeng!" I heard mother hissing but father chuckled.
"What? I am right aren't I, Xiao Zhan? You called to ask how Yibo is doing, right?" I didn't answer his question but it wasn't necessary. "See? Come on, son. Call him."
"No," I said firmly. "He is very busy since he has been appointed as CEO. I don't want to interrupt his work."
"What am I going to do with you, son? Hm? That part you have inherited from your mother."
"So what? It would be a pity if I have only traits of you, right? I don't want to be brand-marked as a complete pervert." I mumbled and heard mother laughing out loud.
"You show him, Xiao Zhan!" She laughed and I had to grin.
"Anyway, now tell me. How is he doing?"
"Yibo is doing good. He is healthy and does his work perfectly. No one is complaining and everyone is happy with him. How about I tell him that you called and then you-"
"No!" I interrupted my mother immediately. "Don't tell him. I am going to call him on my own. Don't tell him, you hear me?"
"Okay, we will not. I promise." Mother said and I nodded satisfied.
"Thank you. Now enjoy your breakfast. Sorry for disturbing you."
"Don't come me like that! You never disturb us, Xiao Zhan. We would love it if you could call more often. We are going to do that too. In two months we have a meeting with the company in china. Once we landed, we will meet up with you right away, okay."
"I would love that. I miss you three." I smiled.
"My Xiao Zhan. We miss you too."
When I came back to the dining room, mom just served the dessert. I apologized and sat down again. Mom and dad did not ask me anything and I was somehow relieved. But suddenly they shoved an envelope towards me and when I looked at them questioningly they nodded encouragingly.
"Open it. Don't worry, it's nothing bad." Dad said and I did as he told me. It was a ticket. A flight ticket to America.
"We thought you might want to take a break from work and visit Yibo. That idiot of brother does not seem to make a lot of effort in coming back so you better go to him and then reprimand him for all of us." Dad said and mom laughed.
"Kuan, I think we broke him."
"Xiao Zhan?" Dad called me and I shook my head before walking to him for a hug. "No, darling. He is still working just fine." I huffed at him and he laughed.
"Thank you, dad. Thank you, mom."
"Your welcome."
Just then, we heard a clatter and turned around to the kids. One of the triplets, it was An, threw her plate on the floor. An was the middle born and liked to fight for attention.
"An!" FanXing reprimanded her slightly annoyed and started to clean the mess while the three girls started to giggle. Yuan frowned at the fuss and left the dining room.
"Dad...." I called him and he looked at me. "Can I take FanXing with me? Next week are holidays anyway and I think he needs a break too, especially from the Ai, An, and An Ni. I promise to take care of him."
Dad looked over to mom. "Let me discuss this with your mom and I will give you an answer tomorrow, okay?"
"Mhn, alright."
"I will clean the table and wash the dishes. Kuan, would you take Yuan and bathe him?"
"Yes, darling." He kissed her and walked out of the dining room to look for Yuan.
"I will take care of the triplets," I said and together with FanXing we kept our sisters busy until Dad came back to take them to bed.
"Xiao Zhan, we talked about your suggestion and think it would be a good idea to take FanXing with you. Both of you deserve a break. We are very thankful for helping us in taking care of your sisters. I know it can be difficult." Dad said the next morning and smiled. "We booked another ticked in the same plane and I hope you have some good days."
"For real!?" I asked him and he nodded.
"For real. Please help FanXing with the packing."
"What packing?" FanXing asked once he stepped into the living room.
"Packing your luggage." I grinned at his confused face. "How about you spend the next two weeks with me and Yibo in America?"
His delighted screaming was enough as an answer and Dad laughed loudly when FanXing run upstairs to pack his things.
1 week later
We just checked in in our hotel and we both were dead tired so we went to bed right away. I did not tell Yibo about my arrival and I had all four of my parents promise me to not tell him anything. I wanted to surprise him and hope he would be happy.
The next morning we woke up early and went down for breakfast where we met my biological parents. They welcomed us and we had breakfast together. My mother always stroke over my head as if I were a little boy but I did not mind.
"Honey, let him eat peacefully!" Father complained and mother huffed before taking her hand's hands back.
"Admit it you want to do that too!" She pouted and father rolled his eyes before winking at me.
"Tell me, Xiao Zhan. Did you plan anything today?" He asked and my mother snorted.
"You know he does. As if he would wait one day longer. Xiao Zhan, Yibo is in a few meetings today but you can go and meet him anyway. None of these meetings are very important. Well, at least not as important as you. Don't worry, we did not tell him you would come."
I looked at FanXing and mother laughed. "Don't worry about your brother. Hey, FanXing, you like to go to the amusement park with us?"
"Yes!!" He cheered and then looked at me. "You can go to Uncle Yibo. I know you are dying to meet him. Tell him we a miss him, okay?"
"Are you sure?"
"I am. Aunt and Uncle are going to take care of me, right?" He asked my parents and my mother looked offended.
"Don't call her aunt, FanXing, or my wife will get obnoxious." Father laughed and I chuckled.
"Don't scare the kid, Shaofeng! Don't worry, I just have to get used to the fact that I am getting indeed older."
"But I still love you, honey. No matter how old you get." Father said and my mother blushed.
"Where is my sister, by the way?" I wanted to know and interrupted their flirting.
"At home with a nanny. You can visit her later. I thought after all the trouble with the triplets, FanXing would like to spend some time without a toddler near him." FanXing nodded violently and I grinned.
"Alright. Have fun at the amusement park, FanXing. Listen to your aunt well and don't make trouble okay? Stay with her or with your uncle at all costs. If something seems to be weird to you or a stranger is trying to do something scream as loud as you can. When-"
"Xiao Zhan, don't scare your brother," Father said and took my hand in his. "We promise to take care of him. Something like back then will not happen again. I promise, okay?" He said and I nodded embarrassed.
"Sorry..." I mumbled but he shook his head.
"It's okay. You are worried, that is good."
For a while, it was quiet on our table until my mother cleared her voice. "I wish I could see Yibo's face once he sees you..."
I smiled and was suddenly nervous about our first meeting in three years.
"True. Xiao Zhan, you caught a fine man as your future husband. Your mother and I couldn't have chosen better."
Now I was the one who blushed and stood up. "I will go to him now," I said and walked away.
"Shaofeng..." I heard mother reprimanding my father and a laugh from FanXing before I stepped out of the hotel's restaurant.
My mother assigned me her driver who drove me to the Company. "I will park the car in the garage and follow you right away." He said once I stepped out of the vehicle. I nodded at him and once he was gone I took a deep breath and entered the building.
Yibo's office was on the top floor so I entered the elevator. Before approaching his office, I went to the WC to calm down my nervousness. Two employees entered the room a few minutes after me and talked about work. When they mentioned Yibo, I stopped what I was doing and listened to their conversation.
"Wang Yibo is the best thing that happened to our company in years." One of them said and the other laughed.
"Are you saying that because he is doing his work very well or because of the bonus we get every year?"
"Both." The first one laughed and got serious again. "You think we will get a deal with J.R. Company?"
"We are talking about Wang Yibo, my friend. Of course, we will get it."
"But I heard the presidents of J.R. Company sent their daughter to talk about the conditions of the deal. That daughter is the scary but clueless CEO of that company and I heard it's very difficult to please her..."
"So what? Our boss got every deal he wanted and this one will not be different. And they sent her daughter only to see if she is good enough to take over J.R. Company. I heard they wanted her to take over their business but she has to prove herself first. And making a deal with Wang Yibo is like winning in the lottery. If she manages to persuade our boss, her parents will give her their company for sure."
"Sometimes I wish I was Wang Yibo..." The other sighed.
"Huh? Why that? In my opinion, it's way too much work to do. I am sure I could never do what our boss does. He was born for that, we are not."
"Maybe, but can't you see how all the girls are falling for him? Even his secretary is chasing after him...." He answered dejectedly and earned a slap from his colleague.
"If you like her, confess, you idiot! The worst thing that can happen is she rejects you. If so, take it and look for someone else. Our boss is engaged and his secretary has no chance. She knows that too so she has to give up sooner or later."
"But-"
"Do it or not. I don't care. Come one, we have to go back to work before the boss comes out of his meeting. Later today the CEO of J.R. Company is coming over for the last meeting regarding this deal. We are not allowed to make a mistake." Both of them washed their hands and left.
I was happy to hear that my Yibo was very successful. He was even gifting his employees' bonuses. I smiled to myself and came out of my hiding place to wash my hands.
The only thing that I did not like was the fact that Yibo seemed to have many female fans. I was not worried he might have forgotten about me. I knew he was not that kind of man. I trusted him to 100 % but I did not trust those women. Especially his secretary. It seems she was chasing Yibo despite knowing he was already taken. I guessed I have to talk to that woman and make her stop pestering Yibo.
Good thing that I lost my fear of women and would not have a problem facing her.
I dried my hands and stepped out of the bathroom before walking up to the front desk of Yibo's office.
"Excuse me?" I asked the woman who sat behind the desk. She looked up and smiled friendly.
"Yes, Sir? How can I help you?"
"I would like to speak to Yibo."
"Mr. Wang is currently in a meeting. Do you have an appointment?"
"No, I don't."
"Then it would be best to leave behind your contact information. I will give it to Mr. Wang later and he will contact you. Later today he has another important meeting and will call you back tomorrow."
"Are you his secretary?" I had to ask and she shook her head with a smile.
"No, I am not. His secretary is currently with Mr. Wang in the meeting."
"I see.... I would like to speak with him today anyway. When will the meeting end?"
"I don't know. But like I said he has another meeting later on and can't receive any guests. If you want I can make an appointment with you but it will be some time next week."
"Ms. Zhang!" Someone said behind me and when I turned around it was the driver my parents assigned me.
"Mr. Lee." The woman bowed respectfully.
"This man here can enter Mr. Wang's office whenever he wants. He is Xiao Zhan, the son of Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng." He said and the woman paled a little.
"I am sorry." She bowed. "I didn't know."
I felt uncomfortable with people bowing to me this respectfully so I waved at her. "It's okay. You couldn't have known this. Anyway, I can go in now, right?"
The woman in front of me looked at my driver and then nodded. "Yes, of course. But like I said, he is in a meeting and I am not sure if he has time for you."
"We will see about that." I smiled at her and she nodded before signalizing me to followed her. We walked up to Yibo's office and I could hear a few different voices. The woman knocked on the door and then entered the office. I stayed behind her and waited for her to announce my visit.
"Excuse me, Sir. But you have a visitor." Ms. Zhang said and I could hear a female voice answering her.
"Zhang Wei, Mr. Wang has an important meeting as you can see. Please leave and tell the visitor to leave behind his information."
"I am sorry, but-"
I stepped forward and entered the office. Immediately everyone looked at me but my eyes laid only on Yibo. He had his hair a little longer now and he also looked more athletic but except that, he did not change at all. I smiled at him and almost grinned seeing him widening his eyes.
"It's okay," Yibo said and raised from his seat. "I will meet him now. Everyone, please leave the office for today. I will let you know about the new appointment through my secretary in the next few days."
The people in the room were frowning in disappointment but left anyway. Now I felt a little guilty about barging in without telling him but I also was slightly annoyed seeing his secretary standing very close to Yibo.
"Zhang Wei, you can leave too." His secretary said to the woman who announced my arrival and the latter bowed before leaving.
"You too, Miss. You are not needed here for now. We will call you if we need anything." I said to the secretary and hoped I did not sound annoyed. I watched her frowning at me but she did not move one inch. She wore a white blouse, a light blue skirt, and white high heels. She was dressed properly but in my opinion, her skirt was too short.
"Mei Lin, you heard what he said. Please leave for now." Yibo said without looking at her. No, his eyes were solely on me.
"Yes, Sir. Call me if you need anything. I will come right away." She answered, bowed, and left the room after looking at me in disapproval.
"Yibo, you do know that this woman has set her eyes on you, right?" I asked once she was gone.
"So what? I am taken, aren't I?" He answered and I frowned at him.
"Does she know that?"
"The whole company does. I announced it the moment I started working here when I saw how the women were trying to seduce me with their eyes. My secretary was your mother's secretary before so she naturally knows it too. They don't know my fiance's identity though as I did not want to give others a reason for thinking I am using my connections to climb up the ladder. But tell me, Zhan, did you come here to check if I am faithful to you, or is there another reason?" Yibo stared at me and I pouted.
"Of course, checking on you was my only reason. Why else would I be here?" I answered innocently and turned around to leave. Yibo was fast when he walked up to me and pushed against the door to stop me from leaving his office.
"That is sad. But maybe I should give you another reason so you can stay longer."
"Another reason? And what would that be?"
"Hmm... you missed me so much that you wanted to see me right away and came here to surprise me. How does that sound?"
"Not bad but I have a better one," I said and turned around. "I was sick of waiting for my fiance who promised to come back after three years and decided to fly in and claim him back."
I glared at him and he stroke my cheek. "It's been two months past the promised time only and you were already impatient?"
"Is that not allowed?"
He chuckled. "It is and I am very happy you are here." He answered, lowered his head, and kissed me. God, how much I missed his kisses. I immediately wrapped my arms around his neck and returned the kiss.
He pulled me closer and walked backward until we reached the sofa. Then he let himself fall and pulled me onto his lap where he hid his face in my neck.
"My beautiful Zhan.... I missed you so much...." He mumbled.
"You could have called more often or at least try to not fall asleep while video calling me. I know you were busy, you still are, but you could have at least tried your best." I said and heard him sighing.
"I know. I am a bad boyfriend, aren't I?"
"No, you were always a good boyfriend. But the position as fiance... you still need to learn a lot." I smiled and pecked his lips. "I will forgive you though. I missed you just as much."
Without any warning, he pushed me on the sofa, hovered above me, and kissed me roughly. Yes, that was the Yibo I knew. I returned the kiss until his hands started to unbutton my shirt. I grabbed his hands and turned my head away.
"You have an important meeting later, Yibo. I heard the future CEO of some company is coming to make a deal with you. You don't want to greet her naked, do you?"
"I don't mind that as long as I can feel you now." He answered and touched my private past.
"Hey! But I mind! You are only to be seen naked by me! Now get off." I said and he frowned.
"I don't want to."
"Be rational, Wang Yibo. We can catch up later." I laughed and tried to push him away.
"If you promise me you will come home with me after work, I will let go of you. I live alone, by the way."
"I would have killed you if you weren't. But I can't stay with you." I said and he growled. "I took FanXing with me, Yibo. I need to take care of him."
His eyes lightened up. "Oh? My little nephew is here too? Wait... he should be 9 years old now, right? Not so little anymore."
"Yes, he is 9 now and missed you too. I took him with me so he would have a break from watching the triplets. He is with my parents at the amusement park."
"Hmm...." He said and took out his phone. I raised my brows and watched him.
"Hey, mom. I heard FanXing is with you right now? .... Yes, it was a big surprise. You should have told me, mom! .... Yes..... yes.... Well, that is why I am calling. Is it okay if I take Zhan with me today? I will bring him back tomorrow. We could have all breakfast together.... What? ...." Yibo laughed. "He didn't change at all. I will grant him a wish. Whatever it is.... Yeah... thanks, mom. Greet dad for me. .... Yes.... See you tomorrow at 9 at your house."
I gaped at him and he grinned. "I can take you with me."
"Since when do you call her mom? And my father dad?" I asked surprised and he laughed.
"Since they begged me to do so. Soon they are going to be my parents too, you know?"
"Yeah... well...." I was kind of speechless but very happy that my parents and Yibo were on such good terms.
"So? Are you coming with me? After work, of course." He asked and I rolled my eyes.
"As if I have another option..."
"You are right. You don't." He answered delightedly and pulled me back onto his lap. "God, I missed you so much."
I giggled and kissed back. We sat there for several minutes sucking on each other's lips until there was a knock on the door. I panted when he released me.
"Is that... the clueless CEO who wants a deal?" I asked out of breath and Yibo looked at me in amusement.
"Clueless?"
"Yeah, I overheard two of your employees talking earlier..." I admitted and grinned embarrassedly.
"Bad boy." He chuckled. "It would be better to not call her clueless when she comes in later. You know that CEO too. J.R. Company is only a small one here in America and the CEO is someone I went to school with." He grinned. I looked at him questioningly before standing up. He raised from the sofa as well and walked a little closer to the door before he called the person who knocked in.
It was his secretary entering the office and I managed to not frown at her. She bowed to Yibo.
"Sir, Ms. Meng from J.R. Company is here." She announced and before Yibo could answer her, a woman entered the room.
"What is taking so long?" She complained and I gaped at her. She did not see me and looked at my fiance. "Yibo-bear!!" Zoey waved and threw herself into Yibo's arms.
I was surprised to see her here but also very delighted. It's been a few months since I last saw her at my graduation.
"Where is Ji Yang?" Yibo asked her and Zoey grinned.
"Looking for a parking spot. Do you know that you are almost impossible to meet, Yibo? I have been waiting for two weeks for this appointment." Zoey said and then she stepped back. "What do you think of my new dress? As I know that red is your favorite color I bought this one especially for this meeting hoping to get you to sign the deal"
"Yes, I love red. And I like this dress. But you don't have to dress up to make me sign a deal, Zoey. You know that, don't you?" Yibo laughed and Zoey shrugged her shoulders.
"I just wanted to be sure. Moreover, I have the same dress in white and Ji Yang loves it a lot. I hoped to provoke him a little more with the red one."
My eyes were still on the secretary who was listening to their conversation while checking out Zoey.
"Mei Lin, thank you for bringing her in. You can go now. Later when her ..." Yibo stopped and looked at Zoey. "Boyfriend?" He asked her Zoey sighed.
"Yeah, still boyfriend. I don't understand why it's so hard to propose to me!" Zoey pouted and Yibo chuckled before turning back to his secretary.
"Later when her boyfriend comes, you can let him in as well. Afterward, you can go home for today."
"Yes, Sir. As you wish." Mei Lin bowed and left. I breathed out in relief. I couldn't stand that woman because she liked Yibo. I turned my attention back on Zoey.
"Hey, Zoey. Didn't expect you to be here." I said to her and she turned around surprised. Just at that moment, Ji Yang entered the room.
"Hey, Xiao Zhan." He smiled while Zoey walked up to me with big steps. When she almost reached me, Yibo widened his eyes in shock.
"Zoey, what are you doing?! Back off!" He shouted panickily. Not because he was jealous but because he didn't know yet about the fact that I was not scared of women anymore. But Zoey knew. She ignored Yibo's warning and jumped in my arms.
"What's up, Xiao Zhan?" She asked delighted and lowered her voice. "He does not know yet?" She asked amused and while I shook my head with a smile, Yibo walked up to us with hurried steps.
"Zoey, back off right now!" Yibo ordered and looked at me in worry.
"Hey, Zoey." I greeted and hugged her back. Yibo stopped and gaped at me. Zoey winked before going back to Ji Yang who watched us amused.
"Zhan, you are.... You okay?" My fiance asked me.
"What do you mean?" I asked innocently but then had to grin.
"Zhan?" Yibo called me again and then widened his eyes in realization. "Why didn't you tell me!?"
"You didn't ask. You were too busy with work and later too tired to even talk with me. When should I have told you?" I answered a little annoyed. I knew its not his fault for having so much work but I couldn't help the way I felt.
"Guys, if you want to fight, do it later, okay? Our deal I very important to me, Yibo." Zoey said and Yibo looked at her apologetically.
"Yes, I know. I am sorry. Let's get down to business." Yibo looked at me. "Let's talk after work, okay?"
I nodded. It's not like I could have thrown a tantrum. "You two do what you have to. I will talk with Ji Yang in the meantime."
Once their deal was signed Zoey and Ji Yang left. Ji Yang winked at me and I grinned. After I asked him earlier he told me he would propose to Zoey soon but he was not ready yet. He had the ring already and even thought about how and where to propose but was still too shy to ask her. I wanted to tell him that Zoey was waiting for his proposal for a long time now but decided not to. It was their matter and they should figure it out themselves.
Now that they both left, Yibo and I were alone. I saw him packing his bag before turning to me with a smile.
"I guess we have a lot to talk about. Let's go home, shall we?" He asked and I nodded happily. Finally, I would be able to have Yibo for myself. I was waiting for his and Zoey's conversation to end for 2 hours already and I did not want to wait any longer. It's been three years and two months since we last met but to me, it felt like 10 years.
We stepped out of his office and I saw his secretary still sitting at her desk. 'Didn't Yibo already said that she can leave?'
"Mei Lin? Why are you still here?" Yibo asked her and the woman bowed.
"I waited for you in case there might be some urgent business I still need to handle."
"There is none. I am going home now. You can go too. See you tomorrow." Yibo answered and after a short hesitation, that woman nodded and bowed. Just when Yibo and I turned to leave, someone came running up to us. A middle-aged man wearing a suit.
"Mr. Wang, Mr. Jack is asking for a meetup right now. He is waiting downstairs in the lobby and said he wants to talk about the contract."
"He has no appointment," Yibo said.
"No, he doesn't. But he said he would like to meet now because he has to fly to Paris tomorrow. Mr. Wang, the contract with Mr. Jack is something we are working on for months. He is finally willing to talk to us and I think it would be best to meet him or he might lose interest in signing the contract with our company." The man said and Yibo's secretary walked up to us.
"I will set up the meeting room right away, Mr. Wang. It will take me 5 minutes and should be enough for you to greet him and take him up to the meeting room." She said and was about to leave when I did something I probably shouldn't have. But they had Yibo for over three years now and I did not want to wait any longer to have a long chat with my fiance. And maybe do some other things.
So I leaned closer to Yibo and moved my lips to his ear. "If you meet with that Mr. Jack now, I am going back to the hotel, pick up FanXing, and take the next flight back to China." I threatened him and closed my eyes in embarrassment. I knew that I could be childish but did it have to be in this moment?
Yibo wasn't mad at me but chuckled before looking at the man in front of him. "For months Mr. Jack refused to see us because something always came up with him at the last minute. Every time we had to set up a new date for a meeting but it never worked because of reasons only known to him. Yes, that contract is important but I do not wish to be pushed around by him over and over again. Tell him, I am busy today. If he wishes to sign the contract he should call Mei Lin and make an appointment. I will not let myself and the company be treated like idiots any longer. Tell him we can find another company who would love to sign a contract with us right away." Yibo said and wrapped his arm around my shoulder. "I will go home now. See you tomorrow at work"
With that, we left and I was gaping at him in shock until we arrived at his little house. He grinned at me and kissed my forehead before parking the car properly in the garage, taking my hand, and leading me inside.
"Do you think that was a good idea? Didn't you say the contract was important?" I wanted to know after dinner. He cocked for us and I was surprised to see he got better in that.
"He canceled our meetings at the last moment the last few months and I am getting sick of it. What I said is true, we can find another company. I do not wish for him to play with us any longer. Moreover, right now you are my number one priority." He answered and kissed me when I blushed.
"Sorry for saying earlier... I just..."
"I understand and I would have probably done the same. For the rest of the day, I will be all yours." He took out his phone and turned it off. "See? Nothing will interrupt us today. Now how about we talk about you? You are not scared of women anymore? Since when?"
I smiled proudly and told him about what happened in the last three years. He listened, asked me questions and when I asked him about his time here, he told m everything I wanted to know. All the while holding my hands and giving me kisses.
"I missed you, Yibo," I mumbled and snuggled up to him. "I missed you so much."
"Me too, Zhan. Sorry for not being able to talk to you longer or for the failed video calls. I promise I will do better from now on. I love you, my beautiful Zhan."
I sighed in delight hearing his confession and pulled him in for a kiss. "I love you too, Yibo."
We sat on the couch for a while longer before Yibo had enough and carried me to his bed. I got nervous as it has been a long time .... since we slept on the same bed.
"Don't be nervous, Zhan. If you want to wait, we will wait." He whispered in-between kisses and made him look into my eyes.
"How much longer do you intend to let me wait, Mr. Wang?" I asked him and he suddenly let out a deep growl which shocked me.
"Call me Mr. Wang once more and I am going to take now without caring about anything else."
I laughed and shook my head in disapproval. "That is not a very nice thing to say to your fiance, Mr. Wang."
He growled again and ripped open my shirt before devouring my chest. I pulled his head closer and let him play with my nipples for as much as he wanted until I got impatient.
"Is that all you've got? Did you forget how to please your fiance properly, Mr. Wang?" I laughed out loud when he pulled off my pants and trouser at once before starting to undress as quickly as possible. "You got a lot more athletic," I said and stroke over his chest and muscles.
"All for you. Everything is yours." He said and groaned when I touched his tail between his legs.
"Everything? So little Mr. Wang is mine too?" I asked and he completely lost it. He pushed me into the mattress and spread my leg before entering me with one of his fingers. I flinched at the feeling as it has been a long while since I was intimated. The last time was the day of his departure on the toilet at the airport. What should I say... we were desperate.
"I am so eager to make love to you but I am going to be very gentle tonight. Because you first have to get used to me again." He whispered before taking my lips between his.
And just as he promised he was gentle. He was gentle until I got impatient and made him lose control. I would probably regret it the next morning but at that time I only thought about having Yibo inside me making love to me all night long.
We fell asleep shortly after midnight.
When I slowly woke up I saw Yibo sitting at the table next to the window tipping into his notebook and decided to watch him. When he looked up and saw me awake he smiled.
"Why are you already awake? What time is it?" I asked him.
"It's 6:30 am. I usually wake up at 5 so my body is used to it and does it on its own without me having to set the alarm. You can sleep some more if you want, Zhan. We are meeting your parents and FanXing at 9 am in the hotel you checked in."
I sat up and frowned in discomfort. My back hurt a little and I tried to ignore it. "What did you do since you woke up?
"Planning and preparing. Zhan, are you in pain? I am sorry..."
"Nah, it's okay. I provoked you and I do not regret it." I grinned and got up. I walked up to Yibo and sat down on his lap. "I love you." I kissed him and he returned it. We sat there kissing and cuddling until the clock struck 7. "Let's take a shower, Yibo." I suggested and he stopped working immediately, turned off his notebook, and carried me into the bathroom.
Unfortunately, we did not have that much time but it was enough to satisfy some of our needs. At 8:30 am we left the house and arrived at the hotel on time.
"Uncle Yibo!" FanXing shouted and run up to him.
"Wow, you grew a lot, FanXing. How are you doing? Is everything fine at home?"
"I get continuously harassed by the triplets but yeah, everything is perfect. We all miss you a lot."
"I miss you guys too," Yibo said pointed at the table. "How about we start eating? Zhan and I need some energy."
"I can understand that." Father grinned and stared at Yibo's neck. I blushed and ignored my mother's amused grin.
"Well, it's been three years, right? I bet Zhan had nothing to chew on all this time so I offered my body last night." Yibo smirked and I pouted.
"You guys are mean! Let's eat!" I said and the others laughed.
Two hours later we arrived at my parent's company and took the elevator upstairs to Yibo's office.
"Is it okay for you to stay with me while I work?"
"It is. I am going to cling to you for the next two weeks. Be sure of that." I answered and Yibo laughed.
The doors of the elevator opened and when we stepped out of it, we walked up to his office. At the front desk was the woman who let me into Yibo's office yesterday. I forgot her name already. Mei Lin, Yibo's secretary was not at her desk but before I could relax, Yibo opened the doors to his office and revealed his secretary organizing Yibo's documents for the day.
When she saw us, she walked up to us and bowed. "Good morning, Sir. The documents are organized but one file is still missing. I will go downstairs and tell them to hurry up." She said and Yibo nodded.
I was annoyed and couldn't believe what I saw. Mei Lin was wearing a short red dress. At least in my opinion it was too short.
"That dress is beautiful," Yibo said and saw Mei Lin blushing.
"Thank you, Sir." She looked up and when her eyes met Yibo's she smiled. "I will go downstairs to ask for the missing file." She bowed again and left.
I sat on the couch and glared at Yibo. He raised his brows before taking a seat next to me. "What is wrong?" He wanted to know.
"Isn't it obvious? She is wearing a red dress after she heard that you like the color red. The dress is similar to Zoey's too. She s trying to make you fall for her!"
"But Zhan, you are the only one for me."
"I know. But I really can't stand it that she is trying to flirt with you. Did you see how happy she was after you complimented her? Stop doing that or she will think she has a chance!" I ordered before shaking my head and hiding my face in my hands. "God, since when am I like this?" I asked myself and Yibo chuckled.
"I like it when you are jealous. That shows me that you love me very much."
"But I don't want to be like that. I hate being like this! What if I go crazy out of jealousy? What if I do something terrible?" I asked nervously and he pulled me close to him.
"Zhan, what happened in the past with that family has nothing to do with you. You love me and I love you. That's it. We belong together and no one can separate us. I will stop complimenting her, okay? And since yesterday I already have a plan in mind." He grinned.
"Plan? What kind of plan? You going to fire her?" I asked and felt bad for the slight hope I felt.
"And losing a very good secretary? No. Just watch and see...." He said and before I can ask more, his secretary came in again with a file in her hands.
"Here is the file." She said and handed it to Yibo who thanked her. "Sir, Zhang Wei has a date with her boyfriend later and can't eat lunch with me. Is it possible that to eat with you?" She asked shyly and I gritted my teeth.
"Hmmm, I wanted to have a big lunch today with all the employees. It would be good if you can arrange our event hall for that. Is it possible for you to do that within the next 3 hours?"
"Yes, Sir. Of course. I will arrange everything and write an E-Mail to everyone." She bowed and left. I looked at Yibo but he just smiled before walking to his desk and start to work.
At 2 pm Yibo and I sat at a big table with around 70 employees who were eating their lunch while talking and laughing with their colleagues. His secretary was sitting next to him and seemed to be happy about that. Well, I was not but I managed to hide this fact.
Suddenly Mei Lin stood up and signalized everyone to be quiet. "Mr. Wang has something to announce." She said and turned to Yibo who nodded at her.
"As everyone seems to be in a good mood, I would like to announce something. I started working here three years ago and I am happy that everyone accepted me right away. I am happy to have so many good employees who are making their work perfectly. You all are doing so good that I think you can do without me for a while just fine." Yibo said and Mei Lin frowned.
"Sir, are you going somewhere?" She asked and the other employees started to murmur.
"Yes, I will have to take a break for a while. Don't worry, I will come back."
"I don't know of any business trip... do I have to arrange something?" Mei Lin stood up in shock and took out a piece of paper and a pen.
"No, there is nothing to arrange. It's just that .... I am going to get married to my fiance next week and afterward the honeymoon is waiting for me." He announced and I gaped at him. He grinned and leaned closer to me. "You don't mind me telling them who my fiance is, right? And I hope you are okay with a wedding next week. I talked with our families this morning when you were still sleeping. The moment I saw you yesterday.... I wanted to get married as soon as possible. Everyone agreed to the wedding. The only one I did not ask yet is you. So? What do you think?"
I was so shocked I could only nod. He smirked and turned to the crowd. "Ladies and gentlemen, my fiance just agreed to marry me next week."
Everyone looked at me and I smiled at them half in happiness half in nervousness. The best moment was when I saw Mei Lin slowly sat down. She looked defeated and I could see she wanted to be everywhere but here. I suddenly felt a little bad for her but... Wang Yibo was my man! And that would not change.
I stood up and kissed Yibo in front of all his employees. Yibo pulled me closer and deepened the kiss while the people in the room applauded.
Another week later
I wanted to run away. I was sitting in the waiting room and thinking about going out later and marry the man I love.... I was freaking nervous and wanted to run away.
"Xiao Zhan?" Mother called me worriedly and took my hands in hers.
"I think I want to run away..." I mumbled and my father laughed.
"There it is. Finally, something you have in common with your mother. Darling, that he inherited from you!" He laughed louder and my mother glared at him.
"So what!? What is so bad about being nervous!?" She asked and looked at me. "I was like that too back then. The only difference is...." She sighed and my father ended her sentence.
"Your mother actually run away from our wedding." I looked at my mother in surprise.
"You did?" I asked and she blushed.
"I did. But I didn't get far before your father caught me and carried me to the altar. He hugged me tight until I slowly relaxed."
"Of course. As if I would let the love of my life run away just like that." That grinned and looked at me. "So you don't have to feel bad for the urge to run away. It's normal."
I nodded and it was quiet for a while until I couldn't accept the quietness anymore. "Is everyone there?" I asked and they nodded.
"Yes. Zoey and Ji Yang, Paul, Yang Mi and their little daughter, Haikuan, Mianmian and her father, FanXing, Yuan, the triplets, your brother and HaoXuan, Xuan Lu, her husband and their son, Meng Yao and Dr. Wang, your father, you little sister and I. Everyone we invited is outside."
"And Yibo?"
"Oh, I think he was the only one we did not see yet..." Father said and I jumped up in shock.
"God, Shaofeng!! Stop it! Don't worry, Xiao Zhan. Yibo is there and already waiting for you. He wanted to check on you multiple times already. I guess he is worried you might run away." She giggled and I smiled.
"I will not. But when can I finally go out?" I asked right before the music started.
"Now." My parents said at the same time and I took a deep breath before stepping out.
Once I saw him, my nervousness was gone. I started to walk slowly at first but then I ended up running to him. Everyone laughed at me but I did not care.
"You ready to marry me?" Yibo asked and I nodded.
"Ready like never before. Let's do it!" I answered and we turned to the priest.
To me, it did not get fast enough but when we finally made the vow and I was able to claim my husband's lips, I was so happy that I thought I might get a heart attack soon. I clung to him almost the whole day. Our family and friend congratulated us and I couldn't stop smiling.
We celebrated until late in the night. There was a firework and loud music and many gifts. The best gift I got from my brother. They gifted me a bobtail and I almost cried. Two years ago, LanLan left us forever and back then I said I did not want to have a dog ever again. But it was a lie. I figured that out when I saw the still very small dog in my brother's hand. He and HaoXuan were in Spain until yesterday and found the starving dog on the streets. His previous owners abandoned him because he was sick. I knew upon seeing the bobtail that he needs a lot of care and love.
I took the young animal in my arms and he immediately licked my face. I guess I fell in love with him at first sight. I looked at Yibo to check if it was okay to keep the dog and seeing his smile, I knew he was fine with it.
"I guess I have to share you once again with a dog..." Yibo said and I grinned and kissed him.
"I still love you the most," I said and I saw his ears turning pink.
"If you really love me the most the how about you let the dog stay with your bother until after our honeymoon. I want you all to myself." He said and I laughed.
"Sure thing. But only if you do whatever I want you to do while we are alone."
"Everything." He promised and kissed him again before turning back to my brother to give the dog back to him. But my brother and HaoXuan were gone.
"Where are they?" I asked confused.
"I guess they couldn't wait any longer and went to the bathroom." Zoey grinned evilly and I shook my head in amusement.
"Well, it's a surprise that they lost control before you and Ji Yang," I said to her and she looked offended.
"We are very patient, Xiao Zhan."
"Zoey, darling. We already had our fun until 10 minutes before the wedding started..." Ji Yang reminded her and Zoey blushed.
I shook my head and turned to my biological parents. "Can you take care of him until we come back?" I asked my mother.
"I can do that too..." FanXing offered. My dad paled and shook his head violently.
"Please no! We already have almost 200 bunnies. And Yibo gifted you another one last week." He answered and Mom laughed.
"I think my Kuan is right. FanXing, don't you think the bunnies are enough? You spend all day long in the garden with them and I doubt you will have time for a dog." Mom said and FanXing sighed.
"Don't worry, my son. We will take good care of him until you come back. But I think you two should go home now. We will clean everything here. You have to catch a flight to Paris tomorrow." Father said and I nodded.
"E-nough... cant... anymore..."I panted the moment Yibo came once again inside me.
"Already?" Yibo chuckled and started to pound into me again. I moaned loudly. "Today is our wedding, Zhan. I can't let you off easily tonight." He said and sped up.
"M-mercy. H-have m-ercy." I pleaded and shouted out when he came while hitting my sweet spot. He let himself fall on me and kissed my neck. I was tired. So very tired.
"Zhan, the next two weeks I am going to make love to you every day and every night. It's the only time I can be with you without having to work." He said and sucked on my neck, marking me.
"Yibo.... Do you really have to stay in America once we come back?" I asked dejectedly.
"It's only one more year. Afterward, I will come back to China to take over the company there."
"The last time you said it was only three years but you still did not come back..." I mumbled.
"If I don't come back in a year you are allowed to pull me back home by my ears. I promise you I will be back on time. This time for sure." He promised and kissed my lips softly.
"Promise?"
"I promise!" He answered and I smiled. "Now go to sleep. I will wake you up when we have to leave for the airport."
"Okay... but...aren't you going to take it out...?" I mumbled sleepily.
"No, I will stay seated deep within you the whole night. Now sleep." He laughed silently.
My eyes closed and I fell asleep.
One year later
Someone kissed me. Kissed my face, my forehead, my lips, and my neck.
"FanXing... go away..." I mumbled.
"Stop spouting nonsense, Zhan. My little nephew wouldn't kiss you like that. And if he did, I am going to kill him for sure."
I opened my eyes instantly and looked into my husband's eyes. I was shocked. "You? How?"
"I told you I will be back. I promised you. Now here I am. The new CEO of your parent's company here in China." He grinned and unbuttoned my shirt.
"Yibo?" I asked and he grinned at me.
"I kept my promise, Zhan. Now you have to reward your husband. Afterward, we will go to the main house and surprise our family. I still have to meet my three little nieces." He said and took off my pajama.
"You will stay, right? You are not going back to America, right?"
"Unless I have to go on a business meeting, I will stay here. But don't worry, I will avoid all businesses where I have to go abroad and if I can't do that, I will take you with me."
"Promise?"
"I promise. I love you, Zhan." He kissed me and I hugged him.
"I love you too, Yibo. Now....." I said and rolled us over. "...let me reward my handsome and successful husband to the fullest."
He licked over his lips and watched me taking off his clothes. Soon all that could be heard was my husband's moaning.
