The Devil’s love

"So they really wanted to accept me? Like for real?" Meili curiously inquired, though her heart said that whatever mother Zhang had said was genuine, she was still feeling a bit reluctant to completely believe what she had told them.

Guiren sighed and nodded his head. "Yes, they did tell everyone that they would visit us tomorrow and the accident happened right after that." ​​

"Do you think that it's Sabbath?" she nervously asked. Meili had a really bad feeling about Sabbath since the day Flora told her about his evil actions and motives.

"He is missing but don't worry, we will find him soon and he will definitely get what he deserves." Guiren would not give up until he found out where Sabbath was hiding, he needed to pay for his actions.

Wrapping her arms around his, she sighed, "I am very scared Guiren, I—"

Cupping her face, he tried to console her and calm her down, "Why are you scared when I am right here for you babe? And if you are worried that things are gonna change, stop thinking about that because nothing's gonna change. We don't have to do anything that you are not comfortable with, take all the time you need."

"It's not about that, everything is changing all of a sudden and it's freaking me out. Why do I feel like something bad will happen and everything will become chaotic again?" She didn't feel this uneasy when things were all over the place but now when things were finally falling in the right place, she was having a really bad feeling about everything.

"Don't worry about anything Mei, I assure you that nothing bad will happen. You trust me right?" When she nodded her head, he smiled, "Then that is all I need."

Next morning

Ning and Yichan's place

Rubbing his hands together and a huge grin on his face, Yichan was staring at the pancake batter which Ning was busy preparing.

"Will you stop staring at it like that?" she chuckled.

"What? It looks tasty already and I haven't eaten them for so many days so—"

Cutting him off, she snapped, "You ate ten of them for breakfast the day before yesterday."

Shrugging his shoulder, Yichan pouted his lips, "That was a long time back, I even forgot the taste by now."

"Seriously Yi, how many of them can you eat? Aren't you tired of them yet?" He had been eating at least ten pancakes everyday for breakfast and sometime during dinner ever since they got married. Not that Ning had a problem making them but it always made her wonder when he would stop.

Scrunching his brows, he sniffed, "Tired of your pancakes? Not in this lifetime."

Helplessly shaking his head, she chuckled and started pouring the batter on the pan while Yichan kept on staring at it, drooling and gulping from time to time.

Just then, his phone started ringing. Taking it out of his pocket, he fumed, "Always interrupts my happy times."

"Who is it?" she inquired.

"It's from the main mansion," he informed before answering it.

The change in his expression did not go unnoticed by her. "What happened Yi?"

Taking a deep breath, he hung up the call and tossed his phone aside. "It's nothing, let's eat something first before leaving."

"Is grandpa okay?" she panicked.

"Yes, he is alright." Pausing for a while, Yichan added, "Father dropped by along with his family so grandpa is about to shoot him."

Widening her eyes in shock, she yelled, "What? Your father is back—grandpa—Yi we should go to the mansion now." She was completely taken aback by the news of Yichan's father's sudden return but she was more worried about grandpa Mo doing something inappropriate. She knew how angry and unsatisfied he was of his eldest son but shooting him wasn't the right and a very wise choice.

Yichan who looked very least bothered after hearing the news, shrugged his shoulders. "There is no need for that, we haven't eaten anything else so we should fill our stomach's first, other things can wait." Taking out two plates from the washer, he added, "And even if he shoots him, there is nothing to be worried about, we have a big yard and a human corpse is a very good fertilizer. I mean, he was never a good son or father so maybe he will be a good fertilizer."

"It's not about your father whom I am worried about Yi, it's grandpa. I know that he is very angry right now and this is not good for his health. I also know that you are the only one who can control and stop him from doing anything inappropriate," Ning explained. She knew that Yichan's presence was very important back in the mansion otherwise things would go out of hand.

"But my pancakes—" he frowned. Neither did he care about his father nor about anything that was happening back in the mansion. All he cared about was his pancakes and his beautiful wife who was making them.

Turning the stove off, she washed her hands on the basin and assured him, "I will make tons of them after we solve this mess, I promise."

Helplessly shaking his head, he reluctantly agreed, "Fine but only because you are insisting so much otherwise, I dont give a damn about what happens there."

Grabbing the three pancakes that were already ready, he shoved them into his mouth and started grumping, "A hardworking man cannot even have his breakfast in peace."

"Go wait outside, I'll get the keys and eat slowly otherwise you'll choke," she reminded him before rushing out of his kitchen.

After Ning was out of sight, he grabbed his phone and called someone, "Find out why Mo Yihong is back in the country, I want each and every detail about his wife and his son."

"Hmmm boss but aren't you his son?" Jason curiously inquired.

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Yichan said, "His other son, the new and the most loved one."
