The Devil’s love

"And why isn't it easy?" Yichan inquired. Even after investigating a lot, he couldn't find out what exactly had happened that day and why Ning's parents gave her away. But now since everything had become normal between him and Roger, Yichan had a hope that things would become much more easier now but things were getting even more complicated.

"Well, there is a lot to dig and the only people who know what exactly happened that day are dad and grandpa. But you know, I cannot ask them so yes, things aren't that easy," Roger explained. ​​

Yichan sighed and nodded his head, "Well, you are right, maybe we can take things slow and dig little by little?"

"Uh huh, we can do that. But I managed to find out a major point. The Jiang family has a rule of not giving birth to daughters—"

Scrunching his brows, Yichan curiously inquired, "Why is that?"

"The ancestors of the family believed it to be an omen. They also thought that the downfall of the Jiang family will begin the moment a daughter steps foot in their family. So maybe this is the reason why Ning's parents had to give her up?" Roger remarked.

Thinking for a while, Yichan stated, "But that doesn't make sense, if the Jiang family had this rule about daughters then what about Ning's mother? How did she make it to the Jiang family?"

"Yeah that makes sense, maybe old Jiang changed the rule after becoming the head of the family," Roger suggested.

"Okay then why did they give up Ning?"

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Roger sighed, "This is indeed very complicated."

"I am telling you, we are missing out on something really important."

"Missing out what?" Ning inquired before coming down the stairs.

Hesitating for a while, Yichan answered, "We were talking about something that happened when we were in college."

"Y-Yes and we cannot agree on one thing." Looking at Yichan, Roger added, "I am telling you man, we should ask Guiren and others about it."

Wrapping her arms around Yichan's waise, Ning smiled, "I see you guys are catching up quite well."

"Oh yes we are." Glancing at her watch, Yichan stated, "It's almost time, we should go."

"Yes we should, where is Yitian?" Ning inquired.

"I am here," Yitian exclaimed before rushing down the stairs.

Scrunching his brows, Yichan snapped, "Don't run down the stairs like that, what if you fall?"

Awkwardly scratching his head, Yitian apologized, "Sorry, I won't do that again."

Fixing Yitian's tie, Ning smiled, "Someone is looking handsome and dashing today."

"Genes is such a string thing," Roger remarked.

"Why is that?" Yichan inquired.

"I mean look at you and Yitian, you both look so similar. In fact, Yitian reminds me of the younger version of you," Roger answered.

Scrunching his brows, Yicahn snapped, "What do you mean by the younger version of me? Are you trying to say that I am not young anymore?"

"Let's face it dude, we aren't so young anymore."

"Maybe you are old, I am forever young," he scoffed.

"Alright, no can we please discuss the who is young part later? I need to be there for Mei," Ning stated.

…..

Zhang mansion.

"Congratulations." Giving Meili a hug, Flora sighed, "I am so happy for you."

"I am happy for you too, when is he coming?" Meili inquired,

"He is on the way but I am a little less nervous because mom and dad aren't here." Pausing for a while, she added, "they are really very sorry for not being here on your big day but they did send a really fat envelope for you—"

"What? Only for her? Where is my envelope?" Guiren complained.

"Why do you need an envelope? You are super rich, you should be the one giving us envelopes," Flora retorted.

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Guiren inquired, "So what's with the guy you are bringing home? I did not know you had a boyfriend?"

"We have been dating for two months now, he is really very nice," Flora answered.

'"Uh huh, we will see," he snapped.

Raising her brows, Flora chuckled, "Wait a sec, are you turning into a possessive big brother?" Placing her hand on her chest, she faked a gasp, "Oh my God, I feel so honoured. I thought you did not care about this little sister of yours but well, you do."

"I am not being possessive, just being careful," he retorted.

Just then Ning, Yichan, Yitian and Roger arrived.

"Mei," Ning called her out before rushing over to give her a hug.

"You are finally here," Meili sighed.

"Sorry for being late, I am so happy for you," Ning beamed.

"Welcome man." Giving Roger a hug, Guiren smiled, "It's good to have you back."

"Uh huh it really feels great to have him back but I still have an emergency bag ready if he tried to kidnap me again," Yuri chuckled.

Scrunching his brows, Roger snapped, "Will you ever stop teasing me?"

"Nope, that is never gonna happen." When he glared at her, she chuckled, "What? You can kidnap us but I can't tease you? How is that even fair?"

Helplessly shaking his head, Guang sighed, "These two will never change."

"I know right? It's been so many years, I thought you both don't have it in you anymore," Yichan chuckled.

"Have what?" Ning inquired.

Wrapping his arms around her shoulder, Yichan explained, "Since we were kids, Roger and Yuri always bully and make fun of each other."

"And it's a never ending loop," Guiren chuckled.

Just then Flora's phone started ringing.

"I think he is here, I'll bring him in," Flora beamed before rushing out of the mansion.

"What is Flora so excited about?" Ning inquired.

"She is bringing her boyfriend over for the first time," Meili answered.

After some time, Ning raised her hand and called Lucas over, "Lucas, come here."

When Guiren saw Lucas, he scrunched his brows, "I thought he wasn't coming."

Giving Ning a hug, Lucas inquired, "Hey, wow everyone is here."

"I thought you weren't coming," Meili sighed before giving him a hug.

"Oh I am here with my gir—" Stopping midway, Lucas widened his eyes in shock.
