One week later.
Roger's place.
"What are you doing here?"
"Thinking." Walking towards him, Kareem added, "Thinking about what I am supposed to do with you and Lucas." Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "Why do you boys keep crossing like this? Can you not pity your father a bit? Let do what I am supposed to in peace."
When Roger did not say anything, he added, "And now you are not going to say anything?"
"What do you want to say? I have nothing to say, you can leave."
Roger's blunt reply made Kareem feel even more frustrated than he already was. "Is this an appropriate way to talk to your father?"
"Father." Helplessly shaking his head, Roger scoffed, "Father is such an important and responsible word. It also carries a very heavy aning." Pausing for a while, he inquired, "Now you tell father, what have you done for Lucas or that makes you think that I will take your side?"
��You ungrateful brat, how can you say that? I have done so many things for you both. From your education to your daily expenses, I have paid everything. And now you are telling that I haven't done anything for you both?" Kareem snapped.
Nodding his head in agreent, Roger remarked, "Yes that is true, I am sorry I forgot how you purposely created a vedge with my friends and made feel guilty for years." Clenching his hand into a fist, he gritted his teeth. "For so many years I kept blaming myself and my friends for my sister's death when she was very much alive and was hiding under your roof."
"So you know about it." Shrugging his shoulders, Kareem sighed, "I thought you would never find out but anyway."
"Why did you do that dad?"
"Because I didn't want you to be friends with Mo Yichan and the others. When will you understand that they are our enemies, we are supposed to be against them not be friends with them." Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed, "Why is it so hard to make you kids understand such a simple thing? You people are making your grandfather so angry, I—"
"Anyway, what is done is done and there is nothing we can do to change it. Now I want you to call your brother over because he won't co if I call him. You both are going ho with and—"
Cutting him off, Roger snapped, "I am not going anywhere and neither Lucas, you can see yourself out."
"Is this your last decision?"
"I have never been so sure about sothing in my entire life. I choose to support the truth this ti even if it ans I have to be against you and grandpa," Roger stated.
Taking a deep breath, Kareem sighed, "If that is your last decision then there is nothing I can do. Don't bla for what happens next." Without waiting for Rogers' reply, he walked out of the house.

Ning and Yichan's place.
"Girl that was really very rude," Nuying chuckled.
Banging her head on the table, Ziying groaned in frustration, "I know but I was so mad and pissed at him that I said whatever I could think of."
"Relax, I don't think Chen is mad at you," Ning remarked.
"But how sure are you? I an though he is your twin, you both just t not too long ago and you don't know much about him," ili explained.
Ning nodded her head in agreent. "I agree with i, let's just say that I feel like he isn't the kind of person who would stay angry for a long ti."
Thinking for a while, Ziying curiously inquired, "Do you think I should call him or et him in person to apologize?"
"Uh huh and tell him that you like him too," Nuying added.
Widening her eyes in shock, Ziying snapped, "What? I don't like him."
"If you don't like him then why bother whether he is angry or not? Just forget about him and stop stressing over it," she added.
"I am just worried because I think my words were too harsh, you know. Maybe I hurt him and if that is the case then it's my responsibility to apologize," Ziying explained.
Placing her hand on Ziying's, ili sighed, "It's written all over your face, you like him."
Just then Yitian entered the house.
"Look Yitian is also here, we should ask him," Nuying suggested.
"He just ca back from college, don't start irritating him with your sili questions guys," Ning sighed.
"It's okay sister Ning, you can ask whatever you want to," he stated.
Placing her hand on her chest, ili sighed, "Such a sweet boy."
"Okay Yitian you tell us, if you shout at soone with whom you had a really annoying first encounter, would you apologize?" Nuying inquired.
"I would definitely apologize if it's my fault but I would never stress about it. Maybe a casual 'I am sorry' when I see the person again," he answered.
When everyone looked at her, Ziying rolled her eyes. "Oh co on, I really don't like him." Glancing at the watch, she added, "Alright, I need to go now. I have a eting in thirty minutes."
"I miss attending etings." Helplessly shaking her head, Ning sighed, "I am really not liking this work from ho thing. Yichan won't let attend office for another month because he thinks I'll stress myself out."
"And he couldn't be more right. Rest assured babe, everything is running smoothly in the office. I'll bring over important docunts for you to sign every now and then," ili explained.
"What would I do without you? You are my angel i." Giving her a hug, Ning added, "But I also feel bad for pressuring you this way."
"It's okay, I really don't have anything to do at ho after Guiren leaves for office. He cos back around evening and picks up from the office on the way. Then we have dinner outside, go ho—"
Cutting ili off, Nuying added, "Have sex–"
"Hey, how did you know that?"
"I have superpowers girl," Nuying winked at her before grabbing her bag. "Alrighty girls, I gotta et my doctor boyfriend for a checkup. I'll see you all Saturday."
"Even I have to leave now." Giving Ning a hug, ili added, "Take care of yourself."
After everyone left, Aunt Lin brought over so soup for Ning. "You should drink this before young master arrives, he will be mad again if he finds out you did not have it with your lunch."
"Yichan worried too much, I already feel much better but he keeps insisting that I am not well." Helplessly shaking her head, she sighed, "What do I do with him aunt Lin, you tell ?"
"Maybe have kids so that he can be busy and worry about the kids more than you," aunt Lin chuckled.
"Kids? I still feel it's too early to think about kids."
"You both are young, financially stable and happy now all you need is to increase your family. Kids will bring more happiness in your life, you will feel like your family is complete. It will be perfect," she explained.
Scrunching her brows, Ning inquired, "Wait, did grandpa Mo and Yang ask you to tell that?"
"Maybe, maybe not but no matter what it is, you should seriously consider it." Without waiting for her reply, aunt Lin smiled at her and left.
Slowly drinking her soup, Ning thought for a while before picking up her phone.
[Aunt Lin just told that we should have a baby so that you can stop bugging all the ti.]
[Yichan: We can have hundreds of babies but I will never stop bugging you because you will always be the most important one for ]
Helplessly shaking her head, Ning chuckled, "He will never change."

Mo Base.
Gritting his teeth, Jason threw a pillow right on Linhou's face. "Will you stop making noise?"
Grabbing the pillow, Linhou frowned, "What noise? I am just talking over the phone with my girlfriend. You are the one being noisy."
"I am trying to work here and now 'Baby, I love you' is distracting ," Jason fud.
"No Jas, your singlehood is distracting you. I think you are just jealous because I have a girlfriend and you don't."
"What jealous? You haven't even seen her yet," he scoffed.
Shrugging his shoulder, Linhou remarked, "We will et soon, didn't you hear what big boss said yesterday?"
"What did he say?"
"That we have to work with the other group like a team soon. I will handle the field team with Kiara and you will handle the computer thingy with—what was her na again?"
"Elizabeth," Jason added.
Snapping his fingers, Linhou nodded his head. "Yes, Elizabeth. You have to work with her." When Jason did not say anything, he added, "I don't know if you already know this or not but I heard she hates you."
