Mending Withered Flowers

Chapter Twenty-One

Xiao Zhan's POV

"YIBO!!!"

"ZHAN!!!"

No, it's not supposed to be like this...

Yibo wasn't supposed to know about the twin. 

Not yet. 

Not like this. 

It's not the right time.

 Thoughts running to my head as I watch Yibo also in the same state as me. He's also in distress, just like the old times when we fight. Both of us are similar, when we fight or other's fight, we'll be in distress trying to mend things up. But it's worse when it comes to our own fight, since both of us won't easily backdown. Both wants to mend but won't back down, it's hard. Just like now.

Hearing his explanations really took a toll on me though. Can't say I'm surprised when he said he's not engaged with Li Yang. I had my share of investigations, I'm not who I am after all. 

Yes, I came to know that I'm the last hair and living member of the Sean Family, one of the biggest and influenced family next to the Wangs. The reasons why I had my English name as Sean Xiao, because that is my birthname, Sean Xiao Zhan. But I can't just let them know or exposed my real identity, not when my problem with the Wangs isn't finish. 

Li Yang though, a funny woman. Again, I can tell why the Wangs forced them to marry. She's a wonderful woman, brilliant and intelligent. And I must say, she definitely already knew about the twins, but can't spill due to the Wangs. Typical best friend and a woman instinct. She's the perfect one to handle all the shady investigations once we are mend.

For now, I have to keep my heart in check, I'm still messed up. Even after I invetigate, I still needed to hear it from Yibo himself. Why? Cause I will have a better view on his part. I know he'll never leave me for his family. Yibo hates how the Wangs are made, he only loves his brother. Who's been with him since he's born.

I can hear the voices, my family already arrived. I just hope the twins and A Ling aren't here. They're not old enough to understand, and this is my problem, I can't involve them, even if the twins are mine.

Taking a deep breath, I finally calm down. "Don't shout Jie, you'll lose your temper like Cheng. Can't have 2 purple lotuses now, can we?" 

"B-but Zhan-" I cut her, "It's alright Jie, everything is under control. Just don't let the kids be part of this. Let me handle it." Striking her with small smile, I know she believed in me.

"Bo-di..." I firmly called him as I walk towards him. He flinched on the nickname, 'He must've miss me calling him that, just like when he called back at the restroom.'

"Zha-", "No, Cheng, let me do it, or you want this to last till years later?" I cut Cheng off as I saw him took a step though Jie already held him, the Peacock just standing there. He must've guessed my intention, probably already texted Zoey, informing her about my disappearance.

"Bo-di..." I called him again, more gently this time, as I continue to approach him.

"They've been stressing my Bo-di, aren't they...?" I whispered in a tone only Yibo can hear. He nodded. 'Bo-di... Is it alright if we all just crush your family?' I thought as I saw him shaking. They're going to pay for what they did to us.

"Zhan-ge..." Yibo finally answers. "Yes, Zhan-ge is here, now come to me."

Yibo pulled me into a bone crushing hug. He held me so tight that I almost lost my breath. I must say, true on his words, Yibo was right, my conditions are not yet stable, and I'm actually hold on to him right now. I can tell I'm losing conscious by the minute. I have to finish this before then.
