The Devil’s love

Yichan sighed and apologized, "I am sorry for making you worried but this was very important and I didn't want to wake you up."

"This is the second time you have left my side while I was sleeping." Pausing for a while, she added, "Why do I feel like you are hiding something from me?" ​​

Hesitating for a while, he answered, "It's nothing like that and it's nothing very serious, I'll be home soon so don't worry anymore."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

After hanging up the call, Yichan slumped in his chair and sighed. He didn't like lying to her at all but he had no other choice.

Just then Guiren entered the office along with his special office wine bottle. "I always keep this just in case I feel like drinking it when it's a hectic day."

"It's not like I didn't want to tell you but I just wanted to confirm a few things before discussing it with others," Yichan explained.

Guiren sighed and nodded his head, "It's alright, you don't have to explain anything. I understand that it's a very sensitive matter, we all should just focus on how we can solve this mess and find the appropriate answers."

"You have to keep this away from Meili as well because you are how tight she is with Ning, I don't want to take any risk." Yichan didn't want any third person to tell Ning about it, this would just complicate the entire situation even more.

Pouring some wine for both of them, Guiren assured him, "Don't worry, I won't say a word."

….

Jiang Mansion.

"Is Cheng home yet?"

"No, he said that he will stay at father's place today."

Weilong frowned and inquired, "Whose father?"

Taking the coat from his hand, Ziyi answered, "Your father, he told me they have plans." pausing for a while, she inquired, "When did they become so close?"

Loosening his tie, he mockingly smirked, "Turns out that they had already met each other before, Cheng knew the truth for quite sometime now."

Ziyi sighed and helplessly shook her head. "I scolded my father for doing that but now I feel like maybe it was for the best. I mean, at least Cheng is on good terms with your father."

Slumping on the couch, he started grumping, "You should have seen how they were embracing each other and discussing things, I was actually there to introduce my son to my father but it seemed like my son was introducing me to my own father."

Pursing her lips, she sat down beside him and chuckled, "Mr Yang, are you jealous?"

"What? Why would I be jealous?"

Wrapping her arms around his, she chuckled, "Well, you do sound very jealous but it's understandable. I mean, you were your father's favourite before but now your kids have taken your place so it's completely normal for you to feel this way."

Scrunching his brows, he gritted his teeth. Ziyi had managed to see through him and had pointed out what was exactly bothering him since morning. He had always been his dad's favorite son and they were very close until Weilong took some tough decisions. After he left his family, things just started falling apart and the strong bond he shared with his father slowly faded away with time.

Today when he saw Cheng and grandpa Yang together, it reminded him of the past when he used to be close to his dad and it made him feel very sour.

"I am very happy that Cheng and dad already share a very strong bond together, I mean isn't this what I wanted to happen when I decided to take him with me to meet dad? But seeing them like that made me feel sour and jealous. I know I sound very petty but this is what I am feeling," Weilong blurted his heart out.

Resting her head on his shoulder, she replied, "You don't sound petty at all and it's completely normal for you to feel that way. Father being angry with us is completely normal and something that we both expected but I am still glad that no matter how much he hates us, he still welcomes our kids with open arms."

Taking a deep breath, Weilong said, "I know, I am grateful for that too."

….

Next morning.

Ning and Yichen's place

"Please, only one," Yichan requested.

"No.'

Pouting his lips, he added, "Okay only half."

"You want me to make a half pancake for you? What does that even mean?" she snapped.

Pushing his empty plate towards her, he started whining, "You promised that you would make pancakes for me today but—"

Cutting him off, she snapped, "You promised to never leave me alone too but you did, for two consecutive nights."

"I know its my fault and you have all the right to punish me but—"

"And I am punishing you." Getting up, she added, "No pancakes for you for this whole week." She was still mad over what had happened last night and she kept giving him a cold shoulder since yesterday night.

Thinking that she will be okay by morning, Yichan kept coaxing her but who would have thought that she would punish him by taking away the one thing he loved eating every morning, Ning's delicious pancakes.

"You can't do that honey, what will I have for breakfast then? Do you want me to die out of hunger?" he complained.

Shrugging her shoulders, she answered, "I don't know, maybe you can try eating what I eat every morning, cereals."

"You know that I hate serials," he snapped, he didn't like the punishment at all and wanted to protest for his rights.

Ning was about to retort when grandpa Yang entered the mansion.

"Ahh am I right in time for breakfast?" he beamed before giving Ning a hug.

Ning smiled and excitedly greeted him, "Grandpa, I didn't know that you were joining us for breakfast."

Getting up, Yichan smiled and said, "Since grandpa is here, honey why don't you make some pancakes for him?"
