Adrian's POV:

So this is where the Mogul reigns the world? I whistle. Magnificent. But the question is are you ready for me sweetcheeks?
Walking into Xiao Zhan Group of Hotels HQ, I find a cute receptionist patiently greeting everyone. Flashing her one best of my smile, charming her was definitely an easy cake, I enquire "Is Mr. Jiang Cheng in his office?"
She giggles softly and nods "Yes sir. Could you please state your name so I can intimate Mr. Jiang of your presence?"

"Ah, don't bother beautiful. Just want it to be a surprise for him." I wink and she giggles again. "He's currently in a meeting but you could wait for him in his office on the 20th floor. I'll buzz Ms. Byun, his secretary and inform her of your visit."

"Thanks beautiful" I wink and she visibly blushes.

Walking away from the reception area, I take an elevator for 20th floor and the sheer opulence of this place amazes me. No wonder Zhan's place looks like a museum. Didn't he once state that it was JC who decorated his house? I snicker at the thought of Wang decorating his favourite room. I was surprised at his audacity to ask me to accompany him to a "TOY" shop. Ahem, not that I had any problems. For what its worth, my auditor would be surprised to see my balance sheet.

"Mr. Adrian?" assuming his secratary is the one who is enquiring, I flash my go to smile and she for a moment stumbles, but with utmost grace corrects her posture instantly.
I nod and she guides me towards his office. "Mr. Jiang is in a meeting. Kindly wait inside." Stating that she leaves and I sigh. Like boss like employee. But this heart wishes to only beat for him. Darn. I need to be away from XiaoWang couple.

My phone rings and I grin at his name flashing on my screen. "Just thinking of you?" On hearing his gasp I chuckle "Aren't you there for my brother? It won't do good Adrian if you think of another man!" Zhan mock yells and I here Wang's groan from behind.

"What do you want Zhan?" Taking a seat on the couch I make myself comfortable.

"Just wanted to know how you were doing?" He whisper and Wang butts in from behind "Liar! He wanted to know if you were doing JC yet?"

"Fuck you BoBo" he yells back and Wang retorts "I want you to fuck me but all you wanted to know was if Adrian is boinking your brother."

These two... I couldn't control my laughter.

"Adrian well I would love to chat with you more but seems someone needs to be disciplined. Talk to you later" and even before he cancels the calls, I heard Wang moan. Oh Dear.

Just then the door opens and JC walks in. His steps falter when he sees me sitting on the couch. "What are you doing here?"

"Obviously waiting for you, sweetcheeks." I stress and he huffs.

"What do you want Adrian?" He folds his arms and I flash my droolworthy smile "You." Rolling his eyes he shakes his head "Those won't work on me Adrian."

Oh I love this cat and mouse game.

Walking over to where he was standing, I slowly corner him and press him against the wall "What would work for you, Meng Bao?"

His subtle gasp makes my heart flutter and as his gaze meets mine, I detect soft sweet affection for me. Trust me Meng Bao and it will be worth it.

"Meng Bao?" He enquires softly and I nod. "Yes, Meng Bao, cute baby." Before he could reply, his phone rings and I move away.

"Yeah Baba?" He listens to what is being said and his eyes trail back to mine "Alright. I'll be there." Pocketing the phone inside his jacket he sighs "I need to meet my Dad for dinner."

I wait for more but he doesn't explain further.

"So?" Walking back to him, we resume our position from before "I have time. We can go back to Baba's place to have dinner." His eyes widen and I place a finger on his lips "Back then you promised to give me a chance, Meng Bao. Please."

I wait for his reply and he gives me a very subtle nod. This is enough for me. For now.

We leave his office and he gives Ms. Byun some instructions. On our way out the cute receptionist from before gives me a small wave and I reciprocate the same. On seeing our interaction he rolls his eyes and I smile openly.

"How did you get here?" He questions and I answer "Jun gave me a lift. I am yours for the night, Meng Bao."

"Please don't call me Meng Bao in front of Baba" he pleads and I chuckle "So you're saying I can call you Meng Bao when he isn't around?" Before he could retort, his driver parks the car in front of us and I open the door for him. "After you, Meng Bao" I whisper. Taking a seat next to him, my heart relishes to see a faint blush colouring his cheeks.

"Adrian" Mr. Jiang welcomes me with a broad smile "it's so good to have you with us."

"Sir" I flash him my go to smile and his eyes crinkle with understanding. Oh! He's onto me. Ahem.

"Dre!" Sharon grins as he greets me and I whack his head. Oops, shouldn't have done that in front of Mr. Jiang. Ahem.

"Brat. Call me brother Adrian or Brother Dre." I grin and he glares.

"Alright, alright you two" Mr. Jiang laughs "dinner will be served soon and Sharon, Adrian is right. You need to start addressing people with respect."

I raise my eyebrows at brat and he pouts "Alright Uncle Jiang."

"Adrian" Mr. Jiang calls my name "If you could kindly follow me, I have something important to talk with you?"

"Sure" we walk into his study whilst my eyes finds JC attending a phonecall as usual.

"Please have a seat" he gestures me to take one and he sits opposite facing me. "Adrian, do you like Cheng or is he just a fling to you?"

Wow. Straightforward and I like it.

"Sir, my intentions are as clear as my consciences. I like your son and wish to date him."

"Then why aren't you?" Eh, what?

"Zhan asked me to seek your blessings. Said only if you permit will JC date me. So I wanted to meet and talk to you before making further moves on your son" I pause "Sorry that came out wrong." At that he starts laughing.

"That kid" he chuckles softly "Zhan played you, Adrian."

"What?" Now this is a news to me.

"Zhan was looking out for JC. He's just making sure to see if you're serious enough by letting me know about your intentions." With a pat on my shoulders, he continues "You can date my boy. I have no issues. You have the same heart and sincerity that I noticed in Wang Yibo too. You both are good for my sons. Now go and get that boy before he becomes old and realises that he spent his entire youth in his workplace."

With a grin and blessings in my pocket, we walk back to the dining area where Sharon winks at me "So you still want me to call you Brother Dre or Brother in law Dre?"

"Brat" I pull his cheeks and kiss his forehead as he sticks his tongue out.

Dinner was fabulous as I was famished. It didn't surprise me when Baba, yes, Mr. Jiang asked me to call him Baba, and Sharon left us alone to take an evening stroll.

I found JC in his bedroom talking to his client. He works too much. Locking the door, I kiss the nape of his neck and he gasps. Taking his phone away from him, I cancel his call and he turns to glare at me when I cup his cheeks and kiss him.

Walking backwards we fall on his bed and I am above him. Gazing into his pure black innocent eyes, I confess "Your father gave me his blessings. Your brother gave me his blessings. Now" I kiss his cheeks "its time for me to ask" kissing his lips "Meng Bao, will you go out on a date with me?"

Locking his eyes with mine, he takes his first step and kisses my lips softly "Yes."

That's all I needed to hear to know we'll be happy and together.
