However, Carmen kept silent, which made the ward so quiet.
“Mrs. Jin, what do you want to say? There is no one else here.” Yibo said, breaking the silence in the room.
He stood on his side and was covered by sunshine. The golden light made him look taller, slimmer and also nobler.
As a descendant of the Wang family, no matter by his own. excellence or his family background, he was qualified to be the leader. Moreover, his handsome appearance could attract many debutantes.
Looking at Yibo in front of her, Carmen asked, “Mr…. Can I just call you Yibo?”
“Whatever you want. I am okay with it.” Smiling, he was patient enough.
“Yibo, who else do you have in your family?” Her abrupt question shocked Yibo, but he still answered politely.
“My grandma, father, elder brother, younger brother, Zhan, Fei and me.”
As for others, he didn’t recognize them as family, at least not his family.
“What about your mom?” Carmen continued to ask, with her fingers catching the quilt tightly.
The subtle movement was noticed by Yibo, but he sat tight and said, “My mom passed away years ago when I was a baby.”
“Passed away?” She smiled, which was ambiguous and mocking. “Do you still remember your mom? What’s her name? What did she look like?”
Carmen became wild and looked at Yibo graciously.
His face remained expressionless, “I was too little at that time, so I knew nothing. Even if I knew, it didn’t matter at all. She has been gone and she will never return.”
Listening to him quietly, Carmen was struck and her eyes turned red, which was caught by Yibo.
“Do you know my mom so you want to talk to me alone?” Yibo looked at her abnormality with his gloomy eyes.
“No…I don’t…” Carmen looked away, bowed her head and denied.
“Now that you don’t know her, why did you ask these questions?” His intuition told him that Carmen was lying.
According to her performance and questions, she must know his mom. Some emotions and reactions could not be faked because they were instinctive.
“I am just curious.” Carmen pulled back her tears and took a deep breath inwardly, “In my heart, Zhan is my son. I am just helping him understand the situation. Oh! You just got a certificate? When will you hold a wedding ceremony? You must invite me!”
“Our parents have met each other and the ceremony is on the agenda.” Though he was confused, he didn’t continue to ask.
“Great! I can still wait until that day.” When she raised her head, she looked so happy, “Yibo, Zhan is a poor kid. Darren and our family both let him down. You have to treat him well. My only wish is that you can live a happy life.”
“Treating him well is always my goal and living a happy life is the destination of our life. I believe we can make it.” This was what he desired, “In the past, I wasn’t there protecting him. Now I am along with him, so please don’t worry.”
“Yibo, could you please stop calling me Mrs. Jin? Just call me Auntie Carmen as Zhan does.” Carmen said.
After a second, he said, “Aunt Carmen.”
“Well.” Hearing that, Carmen was satisfied, “That is nice.”
He looked at her sincere smile and her eyes were brilliant.
“Actually… I hope you can help me persuade Darren.” Carmen quickly wiped away her tears, “You are both men, so it will be easier to communicate.”
“Aunt Carmen, I think I can’t do anything about this.” He refused without hesitation, “First, I am not qualified. Second, I am afraid that he doesn’t want to see me anymore.”
“You know, I am supposed to be the opposite of him as a rival in love. So how can I persuade him?”
“Zhan has made his choice, so there won’t be any opportunity for Darren. I know that clearly and I won’t let him damage your family and he can’t do so.” There was assurance in Carmen tone.
“Aunt Carmen, I believe in myself and Zhan. Nobody can damage our life.” He was so arrogant that he didn’t need others’ sympathy or prevention.
“I know.” Carmen nodded her head, “I believe you can convince him and you can be friends actually. As a friend or an elder brother, you will be supported to do so.”
“No, no, no, I don’t deserve.” He thought Carmen was too brave to say so. He could never get along with Darren as what she said. He thought being a rival in love was quite cool.
“If he is trapped in something, it is useless to persuade him. The only way is to wait for him to come round. Why not just keep watching? The matter may be settled of its own accord.” He suggested.
“In addition, such a wicked woman as Lingjiao will pay for it. You don’t need to be worried. Time will tell.”
“It makes me scared and nervous to think of her pestering my son.”
“Don’t be afraid. If Lingjiao loves him, she won’t hurt him.” Yibo continued to say, “He will be happy and lucky enough to have such a good mom. And the lucky man can turn adversity into fortune.”
His words made her silent and her eyes gleamed uneasily.
He had lost his mom since he was a child. He had never experienced love and protection from mother. At this moment, he envied Darren a little. Though the feeling was fleeting, he had to admit that it was quite annoying.
“Sorry.” Carmen apologized.
“Don’t say so. I have never got or lost a mother, and I don’t need her anymore.” He had got used to the life without his mom and he still lived a happy life.
His disdain made Carmen rueful. Her shapely eyebrows frowned.
She didn’t continue the topic and she didn’t know what to say, so the air was quiet again.
Yibo didn’t feel embarrassed. He thought now that he had said what he wanted, he could leave now.
At this time, the door was opened and they both looked at the man. It was Shenhai carrying a thermo jug and some fruits.
Shenhai was surprised when seeing Yibo was alone with his wife.
“Mr. Wang.”
“Mr. Jin.”
Though they didn’t have too much intersection and their cooperation was just subtle, they had seen each other at some functions.
“Mrs. Jin, if there is nothing else, I am going to pick up Fei and Zhan.” Yibo suggested.
“Ok.” Carmen had no reason to keep him staying here, though she wanted to stay with him longer.
“Don’t you stay for a while, Mr. Wang?” Shenhai said politely.
“No. I have a child, so we need to go back home early.” When he mentioned his daughter, his face turned mild, “And I’ll be leaving.”
“Ok, let me see you out.” Shenhai sent him to the door and watched him leave.
***
Yibo picked up Zhan and Fei from grandpa.
Fei was used to sleep early so that when she got on the car, she felt sleepy.
Zhan was in the back seat, holding Fei in her arms and Fei was fast asleep.
Reaching home, Yibo got off the car first and took Fei from Zhan. Because he kept holding Fei without changing the position, his arms and legs had been numb.
“Are you okay?” Yibo asked with concern.
“You take her upstairs first. I need to sit for a while.” Zhan gave him a reassuring look.
“I will be right back soon. Just wait for me.”
Yibo held Fei in his arms and left quickly. Entering the house and going upstairs, he laid Fei down in the children’s room and covered her with a quilt. Then, he quickly turned around and got back to Zhan.
After a short rest, when Zhan was about to get off the car, Yibo had got into the car and picked him up, which nearly made Zhan scream.
“You scared me.” Zhan instinctively covered his chest with his arms.
“Were you thinking of others so you didn’t notice me?” He looked at him playfully.
Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, “Yeah. I was just thinking of others.”
As soon as he stopped, his lips were covered by his and they kissed fiercely, which made Zhan choke. His breath was full of his smell of domineering and Zhan was overwhelmed.
“What are you doing?” Zhan’s breath came fast and his face turned red.
Yibo just kissed him without scruple and he was not afraid that he would be seen by servants and lost his poise.
“You can only think of me.” His tone was mighty.
“Can’t I think of our daughter?” Zhan slowly opened his eyes, trying to contradict him with Fei.
“When you are with me, you can only think of me. As for our daughter, I will think of her.” He curled his lips and smiled evilly.
“You are so domineering!” Zhan was convinced.
“Yeah! I am just so domineering!” He laughed.
In Yibo’s arms, Zhan could feel his chest shaking with laughter.
He carried him upstairs and Zhan asked, “What did Aunt Carmen want to see you about? Did she want to fix you up so that she pushed me away?”
“Come on. I have a wife and a daughter. You are really insane.” Yibo opened the door with his foot, went to the bed and put him down.
He sat down, “She wanted me to persuade Darren to leave Lingjiao from the perspective of a man.”
Zhan didn’t think it was easy to persuade him. Though we had to do so, it should not be done by Yibo because they were not that familiar to each other.
Zhan said, “When did you get so familiar with each other?”
“It is through you that I know him.”
Therefore, they were actually not familiar with each other. He had just seen Darren for three or four times. And they hardly talked with each other.
“You seem to be complaining.” Zhan’s eyes were shining.
“How dare I?” Yibo stood up and prepared to strip off his suit.
Zhan stood up as well and took his suit, “So what did you say?”
“How can I make it if you and his mom cannot? Moreover, such things are thankless and difficult to do.” After taking off the suit, he continued to unbutton the shirt.
Zhan hung up the suit and came over, “Wow! There is something you can’t do.”
“He is my rival in love. The worse he is, the happier I will be. I don’t want to meddle.” Yibo took off the shirt in front of him and his robust body was exposed. In particular, his abdominal muscles from gym were the most attractive.
This was just seduction!
Zhan tried to look away, but he failed. It seemed that his body was just like a magnet, nearly making him get a nosebleed.
Yibo smiled contentedly and he even wanted to take off his pants infront him.
Zhan stopped him, “Get to the bathroom!”
“Why?” He pretended to be confused and innocent.
“No why!” Zhan came up behind him and pushed him towards the bathroom.
“Oh! You are shy.” Yibo was pushed into the bathroom.
“Bull shit!” Zhan denied.
“Yeah. We have been married for a long time and we should get used to it.” Yibo was about to burst into laughter.
“You are so smelly. Wash yourself now.” Zhan said disgustedly.
Zhan turned around ready to leave, but he was caught by Yibo and held in his arms.
They were so close that his handsome face was now at hand and Zhan felt his heartbeat speeding up.
“What are you doing? Let me go.” Zhan struggled to free himself from his arms.
“Bunny, let’s wash together.” Yibo didn’t give him a chance to leave and closed the door by kicking it with his leg.
Hearing the sound closing the door, Zhan gave a shudder, “Don’t be silly.”
“I am serious.” He bowed his head and his face was grave.
Zhan stepped back, but Yibo was faster. He caught the back of his head and kissed him sweetly.
How could Zhan escape from his tenderness?
