The Devil’s love

Guiren's room

After having the dessert, Guiren brought Meili to his old room. ​​

Hugging her from behind, he kissed her nape, "And this is my room, it's kinda boyish but we can renovate it according to your taste."

"Why? It looks good that way." Turning towards him, she hooked her arms around his neck. "Let's keep it this way so that we can get the feels."

"What feel's are you talking about?" Without waiting for her reply, Guiren gasped, "Babe, are you thinking of making out in our new room?"

Slowly unbuttoning his shirt, she whispered, "Maybe, why? Do you have a problem with that Mr Zhang?"

"Do you think that I am saying no to making love with my wife in my dull room? Of course not honey, I would love to mix things up with you." Scooping her into his arms, he crashed on the bed and grinned, "This room has not seen or heard anything for years, I am sure that the walls would love to hear you sweet moans and our groans of pleasure."

Throwing her head back, she chuckled, "You are unbelievable Guiren, now shut up and take off your clothes big guy."

Taking off his shirt, he smiled, "As you say madam."

….

Ning and Yichan's place

As soon as Yichan arrived home, he started looking for his wife like he usually did. Thinking that she might be in the kitchen, he took off his coat and placed it on the couch before walking towards the kitchen.

…

Inside the kitchen.

"Wow not bad, I think you are ready to get married now," Ning chuckled before passing Yitian a plate to place his sauteed scallops.

"Married? I don't even have a girlfriend yet sister Ning," he answered.

"Seriously? No girlfriend yet?" When he nodded his head, she sighed, "Now that is a bummer but why not? You are handsome and you know how to cook so you are like that perfect boyfriend material."

Shrugging his shoulder, he answered, "I don't know, I always stay away from the relationship kind of a mess because I feel like it just distracts you and does nothing productive."

Ruffling his hair, she explained, "You are still young, I am sure that you will change your mind when the right time comes."

"You think?"

"I am sure little guy, I don't just think." When he smiled, she added, "I was also a teenager and believed the exact same thing until I met your brother."

"Oh yes, I wanted to ask you about that as well." without waiting for her reply, he continued, "I did read several articles and posts on social media about you and brother Yichan, it was so cool and fascinating but, I know that you cannot trust anything that you see in the internet so I wanted to ask you if it was true."

"You mean the whole meeting unexpectedly, falling in love, then having a misunderstanding which caused a separation for five years and then getting back together after solving the misunderstanding?" she asked.

"In a nutshell? Yes," he exclaimed.

"Ah yes, that is true." Helplessly shaking her head, she chuckled, "Yichan and I have done many silly things when we were young but if we look at the brighter side, it is not that bad."

"How is it not bad? I mean, you both lost five years, 27,375 days," Yitian stated.

Ning sighed and nodded her head, "Yes I know but we also learned from our mistakes." Pausing for a while, she added, "When it comes to your loved ones, it's not about wasting time, it's about strengthening the bond that you share with that special person. Maybe our stupidity cost us five valuable and precious years of our lives but that separation helped us realize many things and now when we are back together to start a new journey, the bond that we share is much more stronger than before."

"When you put it this way, it doesn't really sound like wasting time," Yitian smiled.

Patting his head, she rubbed her hands together and inquired, "So, what did you make for your brother?"

"I made fried scallops with this Yitian special sauce for him." Pausing for a while, he requested, "Can you please not tell him that I made it?"

"Why so?" Ning asked.

Pursing his lips, he answered, "I am afraid that he won't eat it if he learns that I made them."

Looking at the door, Ning smiled, "Are you spying on us Mr Mo?"

Awkwardly clearing his throat, Yichan answered, "No, why would I do that honey? I just arrived."

"Great, you arrived right in time, dinner is almost ready. Why do you go up and freshen up first." Ning instructed.

Without looking at Yitian, Yichan nodded his head and left.

Taking off her apron, Ning said, "Yitian, why don't you leave the serving to me and call your parents? You guys should have dinner first."

Glancing at his watch, he answered, "Mom and dad are not back from their friend's place yet, let me call them and find out."

"Okay, You go call them and I'll start plating everything."

….

Wang mansion.

"So excited for your first day?" Ziying inquired.

Liying vigorously nodded her head and answered, "Yes I am but—"

"What happened? Is something bothering you?" she asked.

Hesitating for a while, Liying explained, "Today sister Juan told me that I made a big mistake by enrolling into Hailmen Collage, do you think the same sister Ziying?"

Scrunching her brows, Ziying retorted, "Of course not, do you have any idea how tough it is to get admission in that college? There are many who cannot get through even if they have a very strong background. You need to have more than just wealth to get a chance in that place and you got through your own merit sweetheart, you worked hard all year and this is your reward."

"But sister Juan—"

Cutting her off, Ziying frowned, "Don't listen to her, she doesn't know a thing about anything."

"Great, so this is what the most truthful and favorite daughter is doing? Trying to turn my youngest sister against me," Juan scoffed.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Ziying helped Liying collect her things. "Go to your room first, I'll see there after sometime."

Sensing the tension between her elder sisters, she nodded her head and left. She didn't like it when her sister's fought or argued with each other. Though she knew that her eldest sister Wang Juan, was very weird and annoying at times, she still cared for her and tried very hard to be friends with her. But no matter how much she tried, nothing worked but she didn't want to give up. She really missed the time when everyone used to live happily and peacefully.

After Liying left, Ziying gritted her teeth and snapped, "What the hell did you tell Liying?"

"The fact and I am surprised why you didn't mention that to her beforehand? Haven't you always tried to be the best sister whom she can count on? What happened now?" Juan scoffed.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Ziying sighed, "Listen to me Juan, Liying is about to start the most special and important phase of her life so if you can't encourage her then at least don't try to drag her confidence down. You are her big sister and you need to be careful of what you tell her."

Shrugging her shoulders, Juan chuckled, "And what makes you think that I give me a damn about it?" Without waiting for her reply, she continued, "She told me about her new college and I told her what I felt about it, how is that unfair? Do you want me to lie to her? Tell her that her decision to stay in this filthy place for another four years is a right decision?"

Balling her hands into a fist, Ziying fumed, "Liying had made a very good decision."

"And what makes you think that it is? This can be a bad decision as well."

Narrowing her eyes, Ziying answered, "At least it's better than all the unstable decisions that you have taken all your life. Liying knows what she is doing and what is more important in her life unlike you."

Ziying's bluntness hit Juan very hard. Her only weakness was how her mind kept getting inclined towards things which were completely different from what she was doing and she hated it when someone mentioned it.

When she did not say anything, Ziying mockingly chuckled, "What? Don't wanna say anything? So in the future, make sure to look at yourself before giving any kind of advice which might demotivate the other person. Not everyone is like you, there are people who actually care about their career and want to do something productive in life."

Without saying anything, Juan turned around and dashed out of the house.

Helplessly shaking her head, Ziying sighed and made her way towards her sister's room.
