DC- chapter 15

Zhan went back to his office, about three minutes later, a knock sounded on his door.

He felt his tummy do a back flip as he thought it would be Yibo but it wasn’t him.

Haoxuan was standing at the door stunned by what was infront of him.

“I don’t get… how did he go from hating you to giving you a room like this?”

“Well definitely trying to look like he is a saint to me but the truth is, man is damaging me emotionally, and thanks to you, you made me stay put Haoxuan”.

Zhan growled at him.

Haoxuan gave her a helpless shrug.

“It was for the better, your mom complained about her drug right, imagine how tragic that would be if you had been sacked days before that”

He walked towards him with a soft smile.

“If there’s anyone who can tolerate Yibo and puts him to his place is you, you are fearless determined and courageous, it’s some of the things I love about you”.

Zhan quirked his brows.

“I maybe all that Haoxuan, but also I break down easily, I can’t keep pushing myself anymore, especially when all he does is make me feel more miserable, I am pathetic”.

“No you’re not, you are beautiful”.

Zhan paused for a minute and stared at him then turned away from him shyly.

“I didn’t say I am not beautful Haoxuan”.

Zhan sneered his cheeks reddening.

Haoxuan scuffed out a chuckle.

“You never cease to amaze me at how easily you blush despite your age”.

“Don’t mock me Haoxuan, you are older than me anyway, grandpa”.

Haoxuan smartwatch beeped.

“I gotta go now, will come see you later”.

Zhan smiled back and nodded.

When Haoxuan was gone, he drew a hot breath and connected his system to a socket.

Then opening his mail box, thousands of messages were unread.

“I suck at this personal assistant job.”

he groaned and tilted his head to balance it on his palm resting his elbow on the desk.

He went through many proposals, replied some and copied some information for the CEO then his phone ranged.

He blinked his eyes severally, and had to clean his glasses then wore it back before picking up his phone, seeing that the caller was Jiyang he ignored it.

Done with some work, Zhan took the files he had computed and decided to deliver some to the CEO’s office.

He thumbed the button and waited for Yibo permission to come in.

Yibo pressed his key button and the door unlocked.

Zhan walked in, holding the files rightly.

“Sir..”

“Take the files back, we have some place to go.” Yibo stated without looking up at him.

Zhan didn’t argue but immediately did as he said.

Yibo put on his suit and got out of his office.

Zhan made sure he put everything in his office scattered, in their place and locked the door before he followed.

They didn’t take the helicopter today but his convoy.

Zhan was seated infront with the driver and Mr. Yibo at the back.

Zhan could not count how many times he stole a glance at him, not any tangible reason but still can’t stop, at some point he felt like he was disappointed Yibi didn’t caught him stealing those glances, all Yibo did was stare towards the window blinklessly like he was deep in thought about something, well he always looked bothered, ever single time.

Sadists like him are very good in looking miserable.

When they got to the WANG’S Mansion, Zhan developed cold feet.

The mansion was on a hill, from valley, a security post was build and another one, they had passed like five different posts and gates before getting to the main building.

Zhan couldn’t believe it, he was actually inside the Wang’s mansion, the billionaire and Fashion Icon.

Once the driver pulled over and parked, a security guard came and opened his door with a salute.

Zhan got down from his car after the driver opened his.

He was embarrassed by that gesture too, because he wanted to do it by himself but he wanted time because he was admiring the big house infront of him.

He bowed at the driver, who did same out of fear.

Then turning to Yibo, he was already heading towards his building.

Two hands in his pocket and his suit hanging on his shoulder.

Zhan quickly ran after him.

Bowing at every single soul that bowed at him, Zhan entered the big hall room and immediately froze at the shock of seeing the family eating lunch together.

The whole Wang’s, Oh my God!

“Yibo you are back early, come join us”

Mrs Wang requested.

Yibo was about to ignore then he heard Haikuan’s voice.

“Look everyone, he brought a boy home, how thrilling”.

A heat of embarrassment surged into Zhan’s cheeks as he bowed at the magnificent family all staring at him.

“Come join us young boy and you too Yibo”.

Mr Wang instructed.

Zhan couldn’t believe the Billionaire spoke to him.

Surprisly to the rest of the family members Yibo joined the family lunch time first time in many years.

“Thanks” Zhan murmured shyly at the maid that served his dish.

The maid bowed and went over to dish out Yibo’s but he put his hand up and stopped her.

The maid bowed again and went back to her position.

“You seem like a well mannered young boy, what is your name?”

Mr Wang asked.

“Xiao Zhan” Zhan replied, praying he doesn’t shout out of excitement.

“Xiao Zhan… it’s a poor thing you lack good taste in man, tell me how an intelligent looking boy like you would be with a man like him”.

Okay that was unexpected. Zhan thought first, he is right, Yibo isn’t my type but still isn’t that a bit harsh, painting his son bad infront of a complete stranger.

Zhan eyed Yibo and definitely knew he isn’t having it at all, first he(zhan) provoked and now his father.

“I am just an employee sir” Zhan replied, forcing the urge to address his rudeness.

His eyes caught Haikuan’s who had refused to take his eyes off like a predator, Zhan cringed at that and faced his food.

“An employee that visits his boss’s home and dines with his family, how brave of you. Anyway, it’s good to hear that, because I did advise even my enemy’s child to stay away from such a man, a lunatic like can never be useful to another soul”.

“Honey I think it’s a bit harsh, his mother is a bitch alright, but he is a visitor…”.

Mrs Wang cuts in a manner that showed she enjoyed everything her husband said.

“You know I keep on wondering why I didn’t suggest an abortion then”.

A laughter escaped from Mrs Wang’s lips.

“Not funny each time, this boy reminds me of his bitch mother I blame myself for this mistake”.

Zhan eyed Yibo again, his hands are clenched tightly into a feet under the table, and it was shaking but yet he said nothing.

Oh please even the most patient and respectful person should have said something, this is too much, the whole family against one.

No matter what this is the worst, how can a respectful man be soo abusive to his own child, not minding what it will do to his emotional health.

No wonder he turned out this way.

“Excuse me sir, but… don’t you think you are responsible for this”.

Everywhere was as quiet as a grave, not even Mrs Wang has questioned her husband judgement.

Zhan swallowed hard and continued, hoping to go home with his head still on his neck.

“How can you talk about your own blood so badly infront of a stranger not just a stranger, his employee, subjecting him to a thing of mockery, I have a lot of respect for you sir but you’ve lost it”.

A thunderous laughter escaped from Mr Wang’s lips.

His wife and other children looked like they just saw an allien.

“What an interesting young boy, never laughed so much in years”.
