The Revenge Turned To Love

"What is this Xian?" Shui Zhang asked.

"A holiday package for mom and you. The tour is for 11 days and will start from Shanghai." Xian handed the envelope to his father. "And now you will not ask any more questions. Mom and you are reunited after such a long time so, you shall spend some time together," Xian with a smile said. 

The two were in the garden. "But, we are now old, Xian," Shui Zhang stated. 

"So? Do elder people not enjoy?" Xian queried his father. "I always wanted to take my mother to such places but, she always refused because she missed your presence. Now, everything is cleared so, I also want to do things for my parents. You will find other senior couples there as well and you will enjoy this," Xian pronounced. Shui Zhang did not want to refuse to his son now when he felt the hand of someone on his hand. 

"Mark," Shui Zhang spoke. 

"You have forgotten that you have three more sons, dad." Mark delightfully said and he pulled Xian using his other hand. 

"Let's go out for a family dinner," Mark suggested.

"Okay, in the evening. Lan Zhan is free, right? What about Lau Lan?" Xian questioned. 

"They are free," Mark replied and put his hand down. "By the way, Xian and I were thinking to take you to the company," Mark asserted. 

Shui Zhang looked at them with inquisitiveness. "Why? What will I do there?" Shui Zhang with a bit of hesitance questioned the two. 

"We just want to show our father the workplace where we work. Is there anything wrong with that?" Xian muttered.

Shui Zhang was delighted to hear that. He had lost the hopes of ever reuniting with his family. Biyu indeed managed everything all alone even if he had left them. Still, there was a little guilt inside Shui Zhang's heart for not able to spend enough time with his sons. He was deeply surrounded by his thoughts when he felt Samuel was holding his leg. 

Coming out of his thoughts, Shui Zhang looked down. "Grandpa," Samuel in his sweet voice called him. 

"Sam, you got ready at the time. It is good to see," Xian told his son. 

"I do not want to make mommy angry. She kissed me, here," Samuel showed his right cheek to Xian after he left Shui's leg. "Because dad you were not there, I took one more kiss which mommy had saved for you," Samuel further said without realizing what he was saying. 

Mark started laughing and bent on his knees. "So, your father also takes kisses from your mother," Mark asked Samuel and then looked at Xian came to him. "What kind of questions are you asking a child?" Xian scolded Mark and quickly carried up Samuel in his arms. 

Shui Zhang too smiled upon hearing the words from Sam's mouth. Xian took Samuel inside the house. "You cannot say such things openly, Sam." 

"Why, dad?" Samuel asked. 

"Because you cannot say," Xian replied. He did not know what could be the perfect answer he could give to Samuel. "But, mom said that I shall find out the answer to everything," Samuel told Xian who chuckled. 

"Mommy said this?" 

Samuel shook his head. 

"Mommy will get angry with both of us if she will hear this. Do you want your mommy angry?" Xian questioned Samuel. They were now in the living room where Yin Mei was doing the dusting along with Zhu Rui. 

"No, I do not want mommy to get angry at us. I will never say this in front of anyone, dad," Samuel stated. Xian pecked Sam's cheek and put him down on the floor. 

"Sam, come! Have your breakfast. The school van will be here in a while," Mishi loudly from the other end of the living room. Xian and Samuel both went towards the dining room. "Where are the others?" Xian asked as he sat on the chair beside Samuel around the table. 

"Sam has to go early today. How can you forget?" Mishi glared at Xian and then served the food to Samuel. She ruffled Samuel's hair and told him to eat slowly. Serving the food to Xian, she sat beside Samuel and helped him eat first. "Mishi, I will help him. Are you not going to eat?" Xian asked worriedly. 

"I will with the others. Mark was awake, right? I am calling him. You two continue eating," Mishi told them and strode out from there. Xian continued eating and at the same time keep checking on Samuel. Mark too came there and ate with them. "Mishi, do not cook dinner today. We will go out for a family dinner," Xian told her. 

"Okay," Mishi replied. Samuel was done eating so Mishi wiped his mouth and hands. "Study hard. Dad will come to take you from the school," Xian told Sam as caressed his hair. 

"Okay, dad," Samuel said. He waved at his father and uncle before walking away from there with his mother. "Mishi has become busy," Mark stated. 

"Hmm. Next month we are going out. I mean we two did not even go on our honeymoon so, I have planned something for her," Xian told Mark. 

"Nice. We will take good care of Sam," Mark stated, and drank the juice. He put the glass on the table and asked Xian if he had taken care of Hu Shen. "I could not get the time to look into that. Now, everything is fine so, I do not think he will do anything," Xian asserted. 

"What are you saying? For Mishi, he made such a comprehensive plan. Maximus was going to be bankrupted that day. You shall talk to him face to face once," Mark suggested Xian. Frowned appeared on Xian's forehead. "Hmm." He grabbed the juice glass and sipped the juice. 

Mishi came there and asked the two if they wanted to eat more. "No, I am full. Thank you Mishi for the breakfast," Mark stated and stood up from the chair. "Xian, I am waiting for you in the car," Mark told Xian and left the dining room. 

Mishi sat beside Xian and asked him why he was looking tensed. 

"I am thinking about Hu Shen. We had decided to talk to him but could not get time for that," Xian proclaimed. Mishi agreed with Xian. "I just wish he will not be planning against us. After that day, I am a bit scared." Mishi anxiously told Xian who put the juice glass at the table. "Do not be scared. No one can separate us. By the way, come to the office today with mom-dad. Dad, for the first time, will see Maximus," Xian asserted. 

Mishi agreed to him. "I will bring them there. I have to meet Yuwan as well. So, after dropping them home, I will pick Samuel up and will go to Yuwan's company to him," Mishi told Xian. 

"Okay." Xian finished the juice in his glass and wiped his mouth using the napkin. "I shall leave then. See you in the office," Xian spoke with a smile and the two stood up from their respective seats. 

Xian kissed on Mishi's lips and pulled away. "Others will see," Mishi whispered. 

"Then they shall close their eyes," Xian replied to her and again kissed Mishi's lips. "See you," Xian said as he pulled away. Mishi waved at him, and Xian left the dining room.

Zhao's sleep broke when he felt a hit on his back from the pillow. He saw Zhu Rui there with a pillow in her hand. "When will you wake up? Two days ago you were saying will win this world by starting things afresh and you still are sleeping?" Zhu Rui complained and again hit him. 

"What is wrong with you in the morning? And, I never said...ahh...those words," Zhao screamed as he kept getting hits from Zhu Rui. He grabbed Zhu Rui's one hand and pulled her down. Swiftly, he flipped her and hovered over her. 

"I slept late last night and I will go late to the restaurant. I have a meeting with a friend. You are getting violent or is it because we are in my aunt's home so, you have become like this?" Zhao questioned her. 

"I was like this always. A-and why is your upper body naked?" Zhu Rui stuttered as she looked at the muscles that were perfectly carved on Zhao's body. Zhao saw her gulping, so he decided to tease her more.

"I wanted you to see my abs that's why I removed the t-shirt last night. I can see that you want to touch my body," Zhao pronounced. 

Zhu Rui widened her eyes. "Who wants to touch you? Do not be in an illusion," Zhu Rui argued and placed her one hand on Zhao's shoulder to push him away, but he was too strong for her. 

"Zhu, the other day you were so desperate to see my body, and today you are acting differently," Zhao grabbed Zhu Rui's hand which was on his shoulder, and drew it closer to his chest, keeping the grin on his face.
