Yuxuan woke up not long after Jiang Xiuying left. He saw himself in an unfamiliar place. Rubbing his eyes, he tried to recalled how he got there.
= Flashback begins=
" Hey, you must be Shancai right. I saw something glowing from afar and thought the lights were on. I never knew you were the one glowing like a diamond " Han Sen approached Shancai with a jovial smile.Using the opportunity that Shancai was being distracted by Han Sen, he walked through the quiet hallway. Since it was empty, he didn't have any problem. He couldn't help but think the interior of Caomei Entertainment was very similar to that of his Uncle's.
He sighted some staffs that entered the elevator so he followed them and wasn't noticed for his small height. The staffs went ahead to the Liu Li's office and he used the opportunity to enter Zheng Tianyi's office.
Zheng Tianyi's seat was very comfortable that Yuxuan slept off without knowing.
= Flashback ends
Yuxuan noticed he wasn't where he slept off so he looked around and rested his eyes on a cool handsome man doing some paper works.
As if sensing a gaze on him, Zheng Tianyi raised his head up and met with his mini version.
Yuxuan eyes widened looking at Zheng Tianyi. It was undeniable that they both look alike. He continued staring at him with his tiny lips parted in surprise.
Zheng Tianyi smirked and walked over to where he was.
" Did you have a nice sleep?" He asked as he sat beside Yuxuan. The little boy unconsciously moved back creating a distance between them.
Yuxuan wearily looked at Zheng Tianyi wondering why he asked him that question. He felt that Zheng Tianyi wasn't a bad person but he knew better than to trust him. He began thinking of ways to escape from the office.
" Stop looking around, you aren't leaving here" Zheng Tianyi smiled mischievously. Yuxuan ignored him and walked over to the President's seat. To Zheng Tianyi's surprise, the little boy climbed on the chair and sat on it swinging his little legs with a smile on his face. He was already attracted to the comfortable chair since he entered the office. He swirled around a bit before turning his gaze to Zheng Tianyi whose face was unreadable.
He picked up his little backpack from the table and brought out a card from it. He walked up to Zheng Tianyi and showed it to him.
"Who Are You?"
The card was written in English. Yuxuan lived his life at Estan so he couldn't read or write chinese. He was able to understand the language but unable to speak it.
Zheng Tianyi stared at the little boy that was attentively looking at him, he smiled and patted his curly hair.
"I'm your mother's friend " Zheng Tianyi answered. That was the only reply he could come up with. He couldn't possibly begin to explain to the four year old kid about his complicated relationship with Jiang Xiuying.Yuxuan pursed his lips. The look in his eyes was obvious he didn't believe what Zheng Tianyi told him.
Yuxuan stretched out his hand using his chin, he pointed at Zheng Tianyi's hand with a stern face.
Zheng Tianyi looked at Yuxuan's hand then the cellphone in his hand." Do you mean this?" He asked raising the phone up a little. Yuxuan nodded his head with a frown.
' What do you think I meant?' Yuxuan thought in his mind. He collected the phone and unlocked it to Zheng Tianyi's surprise.
" You–" Zheng Tianyi looked at the little boy with surprise written over his face.
Yuxuan was able to unlock the phone using Jiang Xiuying's password " Strawberry ". It was really a coincidence that they both shared the same password.
He scrolled through Zheng Tianyi's contact but was unable to find his mother's contact. Yuxuan shot Zheng Tianyi a confused look. If he was really his mother's friend, her contact should be on his phone right?Zhang Tianyi scratched his head and collected his phone from Yuxuan's hand. He already understood what Yuxuan was trying to do. He wanted to speak but was interrupted his phone that started ringing.
How shall we long for ♪
Where we are going ♪
No matter how frustrating it can be ♪
You are my soulmate ♪
No matter how frustrating it can be ♪
My love for you won't change ♪
Yuxuan's face lit up on hearing the familiar melodious song that came from Zheng Tianyi's phone. He was already convinced that Zheng Tianyi is his mother's friend.
" Unchangeable Love" was Jiang Xiuying( Yeonnie) debut song that rose her to fame. She loved the song more than any of her other songs. She claims it had a special connection with her heart thus making it her ringtone.
Yuxuan felt relieved that even Zheng Tianyi had a special connection with the song. He was already proud of his mother's friend. He admirably stared at Zheng Tianyi who was making a call in front of the glass wall with on hand placed in his pocket looking like a king he was.
" President Zheng, sorry to disturb you. I think Yuxuan might have to stay at your place for a while. I have important business to attend and won't be back till a week. If he asks of me, just tell him I am with Lu Beichen. He would understand."
" I have sent you an email containing his daily routine, and everything you need to know about him. Make sure to check it. I will hang up now " Jiang Xiuying hung the call leaving Zheng Tianyi hanging with a darkened face. She dared to order him around and didn't even wait for his reply.
The audacity!!!
Zheng Tianyi turned to look at the little boy only to find him smiling brightly at him. His dark eyes melted instantly. The boy was too cute to have an annoying mother like Jiang Xiuying.
Yuxuan ran towards Zheng Tianyi with a smile and held his hands with his tiny ones swinging it lightly. Zheng Tianyi bent to his level and rubbed his head.
" Are you hungry?" He asked with a slight smile on his godly handsome face. Yuxuan nodded his head vigorously with a big smile on his cute face.
It was already 6:00pm the normal time for the staff's of Caomei Entertainment to get off work if their President was in a good mood. Some of the staffs had got off work leaving the rest who still waited voluntarily to complete their unfinished works.Zheng Tianyi led Yuxuan out of his office to the special elevator only meant for him. At the underground parking lot, Han Sen stood straight beside the Rolls Royce with his arms placed at his front. Seeing his boss and the little version of the boss, he opened the back seat of the car for the two of them to enter.Zheng Tianyi whispered something to Han Sen before helping Yuxuan into the car and entering himself.Han Sen was very quick to act fast on the instruction given by his boss. Yuxuan needed to be protected thus the elite bodyguards needed to be multiplied and stationed around them rather the low key protection Zheng Tianyi always moves around with." Where would you like to eat?" Zheng Tianyi asked Yu
Mr. Ming was already thinking about how more people would flood his restaurant if he should release the piece of news to the media. He was just your typical greedy man that could do anything for money even with how rich he already was.He could have released the news but he knew better than to allow his years of hard work go down the drain. He would surely be the first to be suspected which would mean a big goodbye to his business.Luckily for him, he was rational enough to think about the outcome of messing with the Golden King of the entertainment industry.* * * * =One of the private rooms=" Li Shang, do you think Ah Yi is coming? It's already getting late " Zhou Kexin said looking at Li Shang's face." Oh....that, I called him but he said he had some works to take care of " Li Shang lied. He didn't put a call across Zheng Tianyi at all." Ahh...I see " Zhou Kexin slowly nodded feeling downhearted. She wouldn't ha
" Butler Yim, prepare a room for this child. It should be filled with necessities that you think he would need" Zheng Tianyi ordered as he entered the house. Just like butler Yim, the three maids on night duty were also equally surprised but couldn't show it on their faces as they have been professionally trained. They just carried on with their duties keeping on a straight face." Hey, did you see Master Zheng just now?" One of the maids asked as soon as Zheng Tianyi disappeared." Of course. Who was that little boy he carried? " The second maid asked looking equally surprised." Could that be his secret son? Thinking about how he once disappeared for a year. It's possible he was married '' The first maid replied placing her hand on hr chin.The third maid approached them and whispered, " Didn't you hear that Master Zheng is unable to do that ' thing ' again after his accident? That's the reason he hasn't being married given how old he is. No matter how
" How is Yutong? " Jiang Xiuying asked in English as she took a seat in front of Dr. Yukira.The Doctor removed the glasses he was putting on and moved his chair closer to the table." I will be frank with you, it's a miracle that her fingers twitched. The poison in her body has already stop spreading further. Since we are still unable to detect the kind of poison in her body, we can only continue to monitor her for now. Hopefully, if she continues responding to treatment and the poison doesn't spread she might regain her consciousness very soon " Dr. Yukira informed as he reclined on his chair.Jiang Xiuying nodded in understanding. If the poison doesn't spread to her heart, she might be able to regain consciousness but if it spreads, they might have to prepare for the worst. She felt a lump in her throat that made her unable to question the Doctor any further." Ms. Jiang, don't you think it's high time for you to drop the guilt you are feeling and visi
Jiang Xiuying stared at the name tag on the door for a while and placed her hand on the door knob. She was in deep thought that she didn't even realise Michael and Marcus were not guarding the room. She tried to open the door but couldn't bring herself to do it.Jiang Xiuying exhaled loudly and tried to open the door again but she met with a dead end.' Even my body is subconsciously refusing to see Yutong ' Jiang Xiuying thought sadly as she sat on the bench outside the ward." You don't have to force yourself. It's okay that you already made an attempt to see her " Lu Beichen strolled towards her and sat beside her." I guess" Jiang Xiuying replied tiredly combing her fingers through her hair." You should go home. Grandfather requested for your presence. "" Chairman Lu ? Did he say the reason? "" Nope. I guess you should leave now, he has a flight to catch in two hours " Lu Beichen looked at his wristwatch ." Alright. " S
Jiang Xiuying pulled the car over as she got to the front of an Hospital. She removed the earphones from her ear and looked above her right shoulder." You...." Jiang Xiuying intently stared at him. " You are Chinese right?" She asked speaking Mandarin Chinese.Si Feng slowly nodded his head. He removed the baseball cap he was wearing and tightly held on to it. There was no need to hide his face again. He sensed she didn't have any intention to hand him over to the police since her car was parked in front of an hospital." Why did you take that man's money? " Si Feng heard Jiang Xiuying's melodious voice in his ear. He raised his head up and was surprised by her beauty. She looked just like a goddess with her almond shaped eyes showing some sort of curiosity. Si Feng gulped twice to use his saliva to wet his suddenly dry throat." My mother is sick and I'm in need of money to buy her drugs." He replied with his head lowered down. He felt embarrassed that
Jiang Xiuying noticed a car parked in from of the hospital with a number plate that had the blue logo of the Lu Family. She knew at once that the car was there to pick her up. She got into the car and it zoomed off.Jiang Xiuying looked at the familiar residence of the Lumber family. With a smile on her face, she entered the large house." Young Miss " All of the maids she passed by respectfully greeted her which she only returned with a slight nod.She walked into her room and closed the door with a loud bang. All of the Children and grandchildren of Chairman Lu had a room that belonged to each of them. Jiang Xiuying was very tired and feeling jet lagged. She hurriedly took off her clothes and took a quick bath. She didn't know what Chairman Lu needed her for and she must be quick since his flight was in an hour time. She already spent an hour on the road.Jiang Xiuying settled on a black gown that flowed freely from her waist to down to her ankle.
The next day, Yutong was already in her blue tutu that matched with the colour of her eyes. Her long hair was tied into a bun leaving her straight bangs that covered her eyebrows.She swirled around in happiness and went to hug Lu Beichen." Do you like it? " Lu Beichen asked with a doting smile on his face." Like it! Like it !!" She exclaimed jumping around in excitement. Lu Beichen carried her up. " Let's go to your dance studio to see how you can perform " He said as he walked out of the room.When they got to the front of the room, Lu Beichen brought Yutong down and bent to her level. " Are you ready for my surprise? "" Sure. I can't wait." She replied nodding her head. Lu Beichen straightened himself and opened the door of the studio and entered with Yutong closing the door behind. The light of the studio was turned off causing Lu Beichen and Yutong to be unable to see anything." Uncle, why is the light turned off? Could this b
