"Kai? Is that really you? I am not seeing things right?" She asked in a shaky voice. Taking her hands and placing it on his left cheek, he shook his head. To hell with not crying. He was already a crying ss right now.
"Yes. Yes, it is . It's your little champ. I am here. You are not see things. It is really ," he said. Joy, sadness, shock, fear and hope were the emotions brewing within and around them.
"Oh my God. It is you. Oh my child, my son," Mrs Yang hugged him. He was surprised at first but he quickly surrounded her with his hands. He was overwheld. At long last, he could be with his only family.
After the emotional hug, they pulled apart. Mrs Yang examined her son very well. Her eyes scanning him from top to bottom and back up. "You have grown so much. But are too thin and skin is rough. What were you eating? Nevermind, co on let's get you cleaned up and stuff your tummy with enough at and veggies," Mrs Yang ranted and pulled him towards the house.
Yang Wenkai followed her obediently. Once they got towards the entrance, he was greeted by a new face. 'Did mum get married after I left and had a child?' he asked himself. Everyone saw the confusion on his face. Even Lee Ai was looking intently at him. Ye Chaoxiang cleared his throat, "Ahem, brother Kai this is Ye Lee Ai, my daughter. Honey this is your uncle Kai. He is-"
"Chenchen's brother. It is nice to et you. You have pretty eyes like Chenchen and you are handso just like my daddy. But my daddy is the most handso of all," Lee Ai interrupted his introduction with a charming smile highlighting her dimples and sparkling eyes.
"Xiang got married?" He asked. Why did Chen not tell him about it. Apart from that, is he not too young to have a wife talk more a cute child? "No, I did not. I adopted her," Ye Chaoxiang said.
"Oh, well hello cutie. Thanks for the earlier complint. You have pretty eyes and you are beautiful too," Yang Wenkai smiled while pinching her chubby cheek lightly. It was so soft.
They went inside the house and they all sat in the living room. Chase ca to pay his greetings to Yang Wenkai. "Hi there. You must be Chase," he caressed its fur making it to bark. "It is a pleasure eting you too."
"Xiaokai, go to your room and freshen up then co down for lunch, okay?" Mrs Yang shouted from the kitchen. "Alright."
"I wanna help grandma," Lee Ai said and rushed to the kitchen with Chase tagging along. "Stop running or you will fall down," Ye Chaoxiang warned but his warnings fell on deaf ears as the kid and the dog were nowhere in sight.
Yang Wenkai chuckled. "I can't believe you are a dad before any of us, Xiang. I sure missed alot," he mused as he strolled towards the stairs to his room.

Life was going smoothly for Bai Renxiang and her baby. Her pregnancy was already eight months old. She went for regular check-ups, ate healthy foods and rested so much. Old man Jiang had agreed for them to move out to another apartnt in the city. His agreent was out of protection though.
Soone had been following his daughter or his granddaughter. Even his greedy siblings were making their move. They had heard that Jiang ilin was back but they did not know that Bai Renxiang was also with her.
So he sent them far from his house to prevent further information of his granddaughter and her expected child. They have been through alot already. He did not want them to continue facing more problems. He needed to deal with his enemies as quickly as possible.

"Mum the grocery supplies is here," Bai Renxiang called out. Ever since they left old man Jiang's mansion, her mother decided to open a grocery store. Jiang ilin decided to earn for herself, even if it was a little. At least she could support her child and her grandchild. And she was trying to blend in with the low key grocery store owner and her pregnant.
She was also careful to avoid bumbing into her cousins. They were all trouble. Jiang ilin also knew that sotis they were being followed. She had only told Bai Renxiang to be careful wherever she went and to take Shane with her. So far, the coast was clear and she felt at peace living like this.
"I am coming." Jiang ilin quickly rushed out from the door behind the store. After making necessary paynt for the grocery supplies, she called Shin and Shane to help her pack them into the store then set them up in their respective sections.
Shin and Shane are one of old man Jiang's n that used to protect him. They are saddled with the responsibility of protection Jiang ilin and Bai Renxiang from any harm. He even bought apartnt close Jiang ilin's for them. He made sure that there was no room for mistakes.
"Wow, this set of veggies is fresh," Bai Renxiang exclaid. She was sitting at a corner with a bag of potato chips in her hands. "Of course they are. Your mother never goes for healthy foods. Speaking of unhealthy, what are you doing with that, young lady?" Jiang ilin squinted her eyes at the snack her daughter kept shoving into her mouth.
"What? I was craving sothing light and crunchy, do I threatened Shane to get one for . Jiang ilin turned to the two handso working young n in the store, "I thought I said not to buy anything for her without my permission?" She glared at Shane.
Gulping in nervousness, Shane just avoided her gaze. He was in for so trouble. "Oh co on mum. Stop scary him. He is a victim of a pregnant woman's scary threats."
