The Devil’s love

"Darwin is Weilong and Mo Yihong's old acquaintance. Apparently, they were very close until your father left the country twenty years ago. I think they were still in contact but they never met in person, though Weilong and Yihong were in constant touch." Jason explained.

"Close? As in friends?" Yufan inquired. ​​

"Hmm not sure yet, information about this Darwin is very precise so I'll have to do some digging which will take some time." Closing his laptop, Jason frowned, "I also have a feeling that his real name isn't Darwin, maybe it's something else."

Thinking for quite some time, or a while, Yichan specified, "I think whoever sent that mail kidnapped that Darwin guy to lure him back to the country."

"Yichan I think that your father is in danger, we need to be careful," Yufan suggested.

Shrugging his shoulders, Yichan casually answered, "His safety or involvement had nothing to do with me or my family, I am just concerned because if Weilong is involved, it is somehow connected to Ning as well so we have to be careful."

Ignoring the strange look on Yufan's face, he turned towards Jason and instructed, "Ask Linhou to keep a close eye on Weilong and the man who just returned. if they try to contact or meet each other, tell me about it immediately."

"The man who just returned? Are you talking about your father, big boss?" Jason curiously inquired for confirmation.

"Yes," Yichan briefly answered, he didn't want to call him father and he also didn't want to call him by his name. So left with no other choice, he decided to refer to him as 'The man who just returned'.

"I'll let you know if I find out anything about the connection between Roger and the Jiang family," Yufan stated.

Yichan nodded his head in agreement and further instructed, "Jason you have to work a bit harder this time but after we finish dealing with this, you can take a long break and go for vacation."

���There is no need for that boss, when I do something which involves my laptop then that is vacation for me," Jason beamed, he never thought or took anything that he did for Yichan as a burden because he had pledge to help him in every possible way and also because he loved what he did.

Patting his shoulder, Yicahn added, "When you are done finding out who exactly this Darwin guy is, I want you to help Yufan out. We need to find out how Roger is involved in all this as fast as we can."

"Yi, why don't we talk to Lucas? Maybe he knows something," Yufan suggested.

"Okay, I'll call him over to the base and then we can discuss everything."

After discussing a few other things, Yufan left behind Yichan and Jason.

Packing his things, Jasin sighed, "Alright boss, I'll take my leave too."

"Jason wait, I need to talk to you about something." Keeping quiet for quite some time, he hesitantly continued, "I want you to find out something for me."

"Ya sure boss, what is it?" Jason inquired.

Contemplating for a while, Yichan answered, "I want you to find out which college he has enrolled in."

"And who is this he now?" When Yichan glared at him, he grinned from ear to ear, "Okay boss, I'll find out and text you."

After Jason left, Yichan pondered for the while before calling his new assistant over.

"Yes boss?" Greg inquired, he had been training under Guiren for three long years and knew how everything exactly worked. Though he wasn't as skilled as Guang, he was still capable of managing everything.

After taking a deep breath , he sighed, "Arrange for a study table and chair."

…..

Ning and Yichan's place.

After finishing work early, Ning came back home without waiting for Yichan because she wanted to make dinner for him.

Instructing the guards to take the table inside Mo Yitian's room, she followed them behind.

"I bought a table and chair for you, I hope that it's comfortable but if it's not, let me know," Ning said.

Yitian shook his head and awkwardly stated, "I am sorry for troubling you, I will pay you after I get my paycheck from—"

Cutting him off, she sighed, "There is no need for that, just treat it like a welcome gift."

"Thank you so much sister Ning."

"So do you work?" she curiously inquired.

Yitian nodded his head and answered, "I work for an online software company, they pay me a decent amount which is enough for me."

Raising her brows, she asked, "So you pay your own bills?"

"Yes, I don't like asking money from mom or dad, I like being independent."

Impressed by the young man's being independent theory, she smiled, "That is very nice, if you start learning being independent at this young age, things will be very easy for you later."

Yitian smiled and nodded his head, "I am still learning but you are already so successful. I have read articles about you and brother Yichan too, they are really very impressive."

Just then two men brought in a new table and chair.

Raising her brows, Ning inquired, "Who bought this?"

"Boss," one of the guards answered.

Before Ning could ask anything further, Yichan knocked at the door but he stopped midway and looked away when he saw Ning standing beside Yitian.

"Yi, I didn't know you were bringing the table too," Ning smiled.

Hesitating for a while, Yichan explained, "I—I actually bought this for myself."

"Really? Why do you need this?"

"Because it's nice and makes me feel like a student again so I bought it." His lame excuse made Ning purse her lips to stop herself from laughing.

Taking a deep breath to compose herself, she inquired, "Okay so if this is for you, what is it doing here?"

Glaring at the two innocent men who were just following instructions, Yichan snapped, "Is this my study room? Didn't I ask you to take it to my study room."

Widening their eyes in shock and confusion, the two men quickly took the table and chair out of the room.

After they left, Yichan fixed his suit and walked out of the room.

Looking at Yitian, Ning chuckled, "I think we have to do some table and chair switching."

….

Inside Ning and Yichan's room.

Cursing himself for doing something so stupid, Yichan grumpily took of his coat and tossed it aside.

Wondering what he might've been thinking when he asked Greg to arrange a table and chair for Yitian, he slumped up on the couch.

Just then, Ning entered the room.

Taking off her accessories, she made her way towards her husband and snuggled in his embrace.

"Hmm so you want to feel like a student again?" She chuckled.

Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "I know it was a stupid move."

"And why fo you think taht it was stupid?"

Keeping quiet for quite sometime, he frowned, "I wasn't supposed to even talk to him and here I am buying chairs and tables for him so that he can stupid properly."

"And how is that wrong?" Cupping his cheeks, she explained, "I understand you have issues with Yitian but you can't be who you are not Yichan."

Pausing for a while, she added, "Whatever your father did years ago wasn't your fault but it wasn't Yitian's fault either. He is as innocent and vulnerable as you are honey and you know that. This is the reason why you cannot hate him no matter how desperately you want to."

"So what am I supposed to do now? Like I bought a chair and table for him, now what's next? Should I go and hug him?" He gritted his teeth, maybe he didn't hate his half brother, but he definitely got irritated when someone started talking about him.

"No you don't have to go and hug him, you should hug me," giving him a peck on his lips, she continued, "I am not asking you to hug him or accept him, I just don't want you to hold yourself back. I know everything is chaotic and I believe that it is equally difficult for him."

Twirling his finger on the hem of her top, he pondered for a while before asking, "Do you think it was difficult for him? I mean, he had a father and mother who loved him and played with him, so how is this affecting him?"

Squeezing his cheeks, Ning chuckled, "I think your problem with Yitian is not a really real problem. I mean, it's more like a jealousy problem."

"No, why would I be jealous of him? So what if he got something that I didn't but I have a better face, a beautiful wife, a house of my own and I can get anything that I want unlike him." Pausing for a while, he scoffed, "He doesn't even have a wife."

"He is just eighteen, way too young to get married and to achieve what you have," she chuckled.
