"Do you want to imitate how you start begging as soon as I touch you?" Guiren asked, all ready to start imitating as soon as he gets her approval.
Smacking his arm, she chuckled, "Lower down your voice Guiren what if she hears you? It's very inappropriate."
Shrugging his shoulder, he answered, "What? She is in the kitchen busy heating the food."
"Go call grandpa, I'll go help your mother in the kitchen," ili instructed.
Not left with any other choice, he nodded his head and obediently followed his wife's instructions. "Alright, i'll do as you."
….
Yang Cheng's apartnt.
Slumping on the couch, Cheng took off his tie and tossed it aside. He had a really hectic and stressful day so all he wanted to do for the night was to rest well without thinking about anything that would stress him out again. The only good thing that happened today was he got an opportunity to talk and et his sister for the first ti but little did he know that the stressful phase of the day was not over yet.
When he was about to enter his bedroom, the doorbell rang which forced him to sigh. All he wanted was peace and to spend the night without any kind of interruption, was that too much to ask.
Gritting his teeth, he grumpily made his way towards the door all ready to bash whoever it was.
"What do you—" Cheng stopped midway when he saw who it was. In fact, he was taken aback at the sight of the most unexpected visitor.
Composing himself, he quickly greeted him, "Mr Mo, what a pleasant surprise, I was not all expecting to see you here at this hour."
With his hands tucked in his pocket, Yichan stated in a very straight tone, "I want to have a word with you."
"Yes sure, co on in." Though he wasn't having a very good feeling about Yichan's sudden appearance, he still had no other choice but to invite him soon and try to act as cool as possible.
Without saying anything, Yichan entered the apartnt and made his way towards the couch.
"Hmm do you want anything? Tea, coffee, scotch—"
Cutting him off, Yichan said, "No, I am good."
Sitting beside him, Cheng inquired, "What brings you here in my apartnt at this hour?"
Keeping quiet for quite so ti, Yichan answered, "Lets cut the chase because I am in a hurry and I also don't like beating around the bush."
"W-What do you an?" Cheng stuttered.
"I know that you very well know what I an so I'll co to the main point directly." Without waiting for his reply, Yichan continued, "I know that you are Ning's twin brother."
Coughing vigorously, Cheng patted his chest to calm himself down. "What? I don't know what you're talking about."
"Look Cheng, I don't really have ti for this chasing. I have important things to do and to deal with—"
Cutting him off, Cheng inquired, "What makes you think that I am your wife's twin brother."
Shrugging his shoulder, Yichan answered, "Apart from the fact that I have evidence, your eyes are exactly like hers."
Letting out a nervous chuckle, Cheng helplessly shook his head, "Are you saying this on the basis of our eye colors? Seriously you—" He stopped midway when Yichan raised his brows at him. Pinching the bridge of her nose, he sighed, "Fine you are right, Ning is my younger twin sister."
Leaning against the couch, Yichan instructed, "Alright, go on."
"I had no idea about this ss until grandpa Jiang told about it." Pausing for a while, Cheng added, "I found out about this a couple of years ago and since then, I have been keeping a close eye on Ning."
"What did your grandpa tell you? Do you know why they gave up Ning but raised you alone?" This question had been killing Yichan since the day he found out about the whole parental truth. So after thinking about the whole thing that Lucas had told him, Yichan decided to visit Cheng and talk to him about it hoping that he would answer all the questions.
"I have no idea." Scrunching his brows, Cheng continued, "Grandpa just told about Ning and asked to et grandpa Yang so that I could also start bonding with him. Though I asked him the reason behind their harsh action, grandpa just told that they had no other choice."
Scrunching his brows, Yichan inquired, "So you don't know anything?" When Cheng shook his head, he continued, "Didn't you try asking your parents or grandpa?"
"I did, I tried asking both the grandpa's but they refused to tell anything."
"Does Shaofeng know about this?" Yichan asked.
"Brother Feng? Umm I don't think so, we are actually clueless about it but I am sure that all the other grandpa's know including grandpa Bai," Cheng answered.
Thinking for quite so ti, Yichan frowned, "Coming here was such a waste of ti and you are good for nothing."
"Hey, dont be so rude, I am your brother-in-law," Cheng retorted.
"So? What makes you think that I'll treat you in a very special way after finding out that you are my wife's brother?"
"Because I am, you are supposed to treat better," Cheng frowned.
Getting up, Yichan scoffed, "My wife doesn't even know about your existence. Maybe I'll treat you better after Ning acknowledges you as one."
Without waiting for Cheng's reply, Yichan added, "I know you are doing a project with her, make sure that you don't ntion anything inappropriate or sothing that might hurt her."
"So you are not gonna tell her anything?"
"I will but not until I know the entire truth, I don't want to tell her anything that I am not sure about," Yichan answered before walking out of the apartnt.
Widening his eyes in shock, Cheng quickly followed him. "Hey wait, how do you know about brother Feng and how did you manage to find out the truth?"
Without looking at him, he answered, "There is nothing that I cannot find out."
….
Zhang Mansion.
Rubbing his bloated stomach, Guiren sighed, "This feels so satisfying." Looking around the table, he frowned, "There is no dessert?"
"Of course there is, I made cheesecake," Mother Zhang answered before gesturing to a kitchen helper to fetch it for them.
"There is cheesecake for dessert? That is aweso," Guiren bead.
"Why are you getting so excited? This feast is solely for li and not you or but you are the one who is more excited than her," Grandpa Zhang scoffed.
"I know right? And you do realize that the cheesecake is mine, right?" ili grinned.
Puffing his cheeks, he complained, "How is this even fair? Even I am having lunch here after so many years, why is only ili getting extra attention and reward?"
Knocking his forehead, mother Zhang chucked, "Stop whining like a baby, you ate so much today, how do you even have any place left for the dessert."
Poking his stomach, Guiren frowned, "What are you talking about mom? There is plenty of space in the right side of my tummy."
Helplessly shaking her head, ili chuckled, "You always say this and later complain about the food."
"He still does that? Seriously, so habits never change no matter how old you beco," Mother Zhang sighed.
Scrunching his brows, he snapped, "I am not old, which part of makes you think that I am old?"
"Oh co on, what is so bad about growing old? It's nice and natural," Grandpa Zhang stated.
Just then, soone bought the cheesecake over and placed it on the table.
Giving ili a big piece, mother Zhang said, "I don't know whether you will like it or not but if it doesn't taste good, do tell ."
Scooping the cake with a spoon, ili savoured it and groaned in satisfaction, "This is so tasty."
"Really? You like it?"
"Of course, it is very tasty."
Pushing his empty plate towards his mother, Guiren bead, "I want one too, big piece."
"No, you will get a small piece, you have eaten a lot already." When Guiren scrunched his brows, mother Zhang added, "I'll pack the rest for you, take it ho and have them later.���
"What? You are going to give him everything? What about ?" Grandpa Zhang snapped.
"Grandpa you should avoid sweet things, your sugar is already at the border level," ili answered.
"But this is cheesecake, it is not too sweet," he retorted. Without waiting for anyones, he took the second biggest piece and started eating it without giving a damn about the weird look in his family mber's faces.
"Anyway, finish your dessert and then give ili a tour of the mansion." Glancing at the watch, Mother Zhang continued, "I need to check before going to the hospital."
"Do you want to drop you?" Guiren inquired.
"There is no need for that, you kids enjoy your dessert."
