"Shen Wei, your mood swings are giving me whiplash." Zhao Yunlan knew that keeping up with the new CEO of Shen Enterprises would be a challenge.
Based on Guardian characters created by the wonderful Priest, and heavily influenced by the Korean dram...
"Zhao Yunlan..." the man sitting across from him mused as he leaned back and crossed his legs.
"Yes, I'm very grateful to you for everything, Zhao Yunlan," Shen Wei hurriedly repeated his thanks, thinking he may have offended Zhao Yunlan by not acknowledging all that he had done to help him in his journey to become whole again.
"I suppose you only know Zhao Yunlan, since I never made myself known," the man grinned.
What?
"Your childhood friend, the little boy who gave Little Guo custard buns...the boy who kissed you behind the bushes...it's time for you to meet him again..." the man said as he winked and blew Shen Wei a kiss.
"I am...Kunlun."
"K-Kunlun?"
Shen Wei's eyes got big as he stared in amazement at the man sitting across from him. Was Zhao Yunlan making fun of him? Sister Cheng watched impassively as she discreetly sent a text from her phone.
"Is our father outside?" the man who called himself Kunlun asked, as he leaned back and studied his fingernails.
"I can't get anything past you, can I? You are truly a born warrior and protector," Sister Cheng calmly said as President Zhao walked into the room.
Kunlun visibly stiffened, and when President Zhao stood in front of him, he reluctantly slid over on the couch to make room. Shen Wei sat frozen in shock. Sister Cheng silently observed the two men on the couch.

"So, you came to see if Shen Wei is now in 'one piece,' I suppose," Kunlun looked in the opposite direction.
"Son," President Zhao started.
Son? Zhao Yunlan was President Zhao's son? Shen Wei had never seen any father-son interaction between the two.
And who, or what was Kunlan? Zhao Yunlan also had another personality? He had seemed to accept Shen Wei when he first Yezun a little too easily, and was able to speak to the different personalities, while others had just run away from the "crazy man." Was this the reason why? Because he knew what it was like to have another person inside of him, taking control of his body now and then?
"Everything was for Shen Wei, all of this," Kunlun waved his hand. "What now, since he's cured and all? You had me follow him all over, because his father didn't have time to do it himself...like you never had time for me," he looked up to the ceiling as he mumbled the last few words.
"You and Shen Wei were neglected as children, and the ex-CEO and I can never make it up to either of you," President Zhao said sadly, as he put a hand on Kunlun's shoulder, then withdrew it as Kunlun shrugged it off. "I even made you train as a bodyguard; I know it wasn't easy."
"Well, it was all part of this grand plan for me to protect Shen Wei, so I guess it was well worth it," Kunlun said as he glanced at Shen Wei, his face softening despite his anger towards his father. "No offense, Shen Wei, but my father obviously cared more for you than he did me," he added.
