In a span of three years a lot of things had change. Zhan opened another branch of his restaurant and cafe in the Beijing. But his Shijie and Yuchen, they haven't had a child yet. Meanwhile Yuyuan stayed in Switzerland with his family. The omega founded an orphanage and had been tirelessly helping the people within the community where they live in. Yichen just turned 3 and Meixing started going to kindergarten.
Zhan is more than happy enough that he can now focus back managing his business. To be inside the kitchen again, to cook food for the costumer and bake to his heart's content.
Now he was preparing his husband's lunch. It felt like he was back in the days where he was pregnant with Meixing and he did this same thing. Ensuring that the alpha wouldn't missed nor skipped meals. The aunties were busy entertaining the active and beaming baby boy. They were busy chasing the three year old Yichen. He laughed when he remembered how the oldies looked so exhausted with their messy hair but those wide smiles never leave their faces. Yichen made them chased him nonstop. Doing what he had done exhausted his aunties, in return the boy made some flower crowns for each one of them.
He sighed and smiled when he received a text from Meng Ziyi. The beta became a model after a scout from a prestigious modeling company came to visit the restaurant and cafe. He remembered how the beta became flustered during that time. Ziyi even asked for his opinion. He didn't forced him to accept the man's offer. He simply advised her to do the thing that she wanted to do and no one could force her to do something which she hated. Few days later, the beta came to him handling him her resignation letter. Ziyi said she wanted to try and see if she could become a model and now, Ziyi became one of the supermodels in the fashion industry.
He's genuinely happy for her. He read the text.
'Zhan-Gonzhi I'm sorry if I cannot be with you all at this time. After finishing my shoot in Milan. I will go back home and pay a visit. I'll miss Meixing and Yichen. Take care of yourself Zhan-Gonzhi. '
He texted her back and roamed his eyes around the restaurant. This place remained bubbly as ever. His heart filled with gratitude seeing how his costumers smiled. Seeing how they were enjoying their food and services. He started his business when he was nineteen years old, gave birth when he's 20 and now at 25, he already had two kids and another branch in Beijing.
Shaking his head, he resumed what he was doing and by lunch time. He carried Yichen and decided to visit Yibo.
Of course, his face was known to the employees. They knew he's their boss's mate yet he cannot help but feel embarrass everytime he visited Yibo's company. The employees treated him nicely. They didn't humiliate him nor hear any prejudices from them. But they were treating him very kindly that it made him feel uncomfortable.
He smiled when he saw Secretary Wang. He turned to face Yichen.
"Yichen baby, say hi to your Uncle Wang."
Yichen smiled widely and greeted Secretary Wang enthusiastically. Secretary Wang smiled and ruffled the boy's hair. The alpha then turned to him and greeted him.
"President Wang is in his office, Zhan. He's waiting for the both of you."
He thanked the man. Secretary Wang exused himself then leave. Yichen still had this huge smile plastered on his face. His eyes were sparkling, fascinated by the furniture and the interiors. The baby boy even beamed when he saw the magazine being displayed in the corner. Yibo was in the cover page. The alpha was sitting in his chair, staring fiercely at the camera while wearing his suit. Crossed legs as his fingers intertwined beneath his chin. The background was no doubt inside his office but due to lightning. It created a shadow and a gloom atmosphere and it seemed there was a ray of light picking from the window, directly hitting Yibo's face. He seemed like a predator who stayed in the corner and those who will see this magazine were his prey. Captivating them with his dominance and this certain aura which only Yibo could pulled in. The aura of nobility. It seemed like he was scrutinizing everyone with his stare but along with his office's background. It screamed power and oozing with pride.
"Daddy! Look Momma! Daddy!" -Yichen exclaimed and pointed the magazine.
Zhan smiled shyly because his son's action gained some employees' attention. He smiled apologitically at them and turned to face Yichen. Laughing nervously, he spoke.
"Yes yes I know. That's your Daddy."
Yichen grinned and wiggled, trying to break free from his hold. Zhan creased his forehead but then he bent down and released Yichen, only for the baby boy to run towards the shelves where the magazines located.
"A-chen!"
He ran towards him with a fear that the baby might trip or fall. Fortunately he didn't. But the embarrassment that he felt since earlier intensified when his son Yichen, grabbed one and ran towards him raising the magazine to show it to him and beamed.
"Look! Look! Look! It's Daddy!"
The baby squealed as he waved that magazine in his hand. Zhan bit his lip to suppress his laughter and lowered his head to hide his embarrassment. How could he reprimand this sweet baby boy when he's this adorable? He cannot. Bending down, he picked up his son and nodded his head.
"I know baby. But don't run like that. You scared me. Don't do it again okay?" - He spoke in a gentle voice and slightly pinched his son's cheek.
Yichen nodded his head and mumbled an apology. But then the boy kept looking behind them. Zhan's forehead creased. He was about to look back when he felt a strong set of arms wrapping around his waist and that familiar pheromones. Whiskey, tobacco with hint of sandalwood scent. He looked at Yichen, the boy was grinning widely, making Zhan laughed.
"So you weren't referring to the one who's in magazine but the real one, hmm A-chen?"
The baby boy nodded and burst in laughter when Zhan showered his face with kisses.
Instead of being annoyed that his presence wasn't being noticed by the two, Yibo smiled. His tight schedule suffocated him and kept draining his energy. He was lucky enough that despite of Zhan being busy in handling both cafe and restaurant, the omega still spared some time to be with him and brought his meals everyday. He buried his face between Zhan's neck, enhaling his omega's scent. His action made Zhan's body jolted. His lips curved upward when he saw the tips of Zhan's ears turning red.
"Yibo." - Zhan whined and pushed Yibo's face away from his neck. "People were looking. " the omega said in a tiny voice.
Yibo suppressed his laughter. It seemed like his omega is becoming shy. He didn't want to tease him so he guided them in his office. His driver, Mr. Mu was following them, carrying their lunchboxes.
Zhan thanked his husband's driver after arriving the office. Mr. Mu bowed and excused himself. Zhan shook his head, Mr. Mu didn't change, not a bit. He remained that same guy who didn't talk much. If Yibo, his husband's was a man of few words, he didn't what Mr. Mu can be...
Zhan was thankful that Yichen didn't turned out to be a picky eater. He was eating his lunch with gusto. Occasionally Zhan would feed him. But the boy was stubborn. He cannot hold his chopsticks really well so Zhan made him use spoon and fork, for now. He was also grateful that their son likes to eat vegetables and fruits. Maybe, he adapted from him. He was busy skinning the prawns for Yichen and when he stared at his husband's direction. The alpha was meticulously doing the same thing and his next move took him by a surprise. He had these skinless prawns to his side and he placed them right in front of him, in his plate to be exact.
He bit his lips. It was nothing big, such a small gesture but it showed how Yibo cares and loves him. So to returned the favor, he chose to feed his alpha as well. Yibo was taken aback when a spoonful of rice with a prawn on top of it came into view and when he looked forward, he saw Zhan holding the spoon, urging him to open his mouth. Yibo shook his head but did what his omega wanted him to do.
