Chapter 258 - Coward
Next day.
Jiang mansion.
"So are the two brother catching up well?
" Weilong inquired.
Shrugging his shoulders, Yihong sighed,
"I have no idea but since Yichan voluntarily kept him there, I am hoping for the best.
"
"Hmm, don't worry, Yichan is a very intelligent and smart boy.
"
"That is what I fear about Weilong, he is indeed very smart and super quick in finding out things he is curious about.
" Without waiting for his reply, Yihong inquired,
"What about Chen? Haven't seen that since I arrived.
"
Keeping the cup on the table, Weilong scoffed,
"That brat never comes home, he shows up only when Ziyi forces him to. He is working on a project with Ning right now so maybe he is busy.
"
"Well, isn't that good? Our kids are bonding and having a great time together, we should be happy,
" Yihong smiled.
"Hmm, we can be happy until everything is running smoothly, I don't even wanna think how Ning is going to react when she learns the truth.
" Pinching the bridge of heis nose, Weilong sighed,
"Things are going to turn very chaotic.
"
"I heard what your brother did, we shouldn't have trusted that bastard.
" Gritting his teeth, Yihong mockingly scoffed,
"He really has the balls to mess with us.
"
Taking a sip of his coffee, Weilong gritted his teeth,
"That bastard is going to pay for whatever he did.
" Helplessly shaking his head, he sighed,
"But I also blame myself, if I hadn't left my daughter with them, all of this would have—
"
Cutting him off, Yihong explained,
"It wasn't your fault, the situation called for it.
"
"Did the situation call for you as well?
" Walking towards his father, Yichan mockingly chuckled,
"Or let's say that you left because the situation called for it and you came back because your friend called you back?
"
Scrunching his brows, Weilong inquired,
"Yichan you—
"
"I let him in,
" Chen smiled before slumping on the couch.
"Geez, this couch is no more comfortable, I think it's time to change it dad.
"
Looking at his son and Yichan simultaneously, Weilong inquired,
"You both know each other?
"
"Pfft of course we do, I mean, our dad's are such close friends and grandpa's too so shouldn't we be friends too?
" Without waiting for his father's reply, Chen added,
"Anyway, Yichan wanted to meet the two of you together and I happen to know that you both are here so I brought him over.
"
Glancing at the watch, Yichan sighed,
"I don't have any more time to waste so I'll straightaway get to the point, I am not here to taunt you or force you to say anything.
" Pausing for a while, he smiled,
"I am here to give you both something. You know, a small reward for being such great parents. It's something that you both have been looking for quite some time, I am sure you will like it.
"
"You kidding me? They are going to freaking love it,
" Chen chuckled.
Taking out his phone, Yichan called someone and instructed,
"Bring him in.
"
After a few seconds, Linhou entered the mansion with his hands hooked around Darwin's neck.
"There you go buddy, I guess this is it but don't forget me after meeting your old buddies, okay? Always remember that I am your savior.
"
Widening his eyes in shock, Weilong muttered,
"Darwin.
"
Taking a step towards his father who was staring at him, Yichan narrowed his eyes. Looking at Weilong, he mockingly scoffed,
"Your friend is just like you, a coward.
" Glaring at Yihong, he snapped,
"Don't try to cover up your cowardness by blaming the situation, that makes you look very pitiful and hopeless.
"
Pausing for a while, he added,
"Stay away from my family, especially Ning and stop playing your dirty tricks on Yitian. Try to be a good father at least for one of your sons.
"
When Yihong lowered his head, Yichan walked out of the mansion.
Chen quickly got up and patted his dad's shoulder,
"You got your friend back, I hope you are very happy, dad. I would have stayed back to entertain you guys but I need to follow my brother-in-law.
" Without waiting for their reply, he ran out of the mansion.
….
Ning and Yichan's place.
Evening.
Inside the kitchen
After giving aunt Lin a day off, Ning was busy preparing dinner for everyone. Since Yichan had an important meeting, he couldn't drop by for lunch so she ordered take outs instead of cooking a meal for herself.
Just then, a guard knocked at the kitchen door.
"Lady boss, there is someone to see the boss.
"
"Who is it?
"
"Roger William,
" he answered.
Wiping her hands in the apron, she instructed,
"Let him in, I'll inform Yichan.
"
After the guard left, she quickly called Yichan and told him about Rogers' arrival.
"Yes babe, he called me a few minutes ago. Just let him in, I'll be there in fifteen,
" Yichan answered.
"Don't rush, take all the time you need and don't worry about me, I'll be fine,
" she assured him before hanging up the call.
...
Living room.
When Roger saw Ning, he quickly got up and hesitantly explained,
"I-I am here to meet Yichan.
"
"I know, he is on the way,
" she answered before sitting on the edge.
"Yeah, I had a talk with him too.
" Keeping quiet for quite some time, he added,
"I'll wait outside.
"
"It's okay Roger, you can wait here.
" Pausing for a while, she inquired,
"Do you want to have something?
" When he shook his head, she added,
"Let me make some strawberry smoothie for you.
"
"Hmm the one with extra strawberry syrup and cream?
" When she nodded her head, he smiled,
"Okay.
"
After some time, Ning came out with two big glasses of strawberry smoothies. She gave one to him and sat down beside him.
"I heard about your sister, I didn't know that—
"
Swirling the straw, he sighed,
"It's alright, you didn't know and I also never told you so—
" Pausing for a while, he added,
"I heard that she approached you twice.
"
