Soulmates : The Tale Of Two Hearts

43

In morning Yibo asked Zhan to go back to work as seeing him drinking too much coffee was really unsettling for him.

He knew it was because of him and he was aware just how much work must be needed to be taken care by his boyfriend and he did not want to be a hurdle in his professional life. He understood the responsibilities. He had too and his boyfriend too had his.

He wished to be his strength not weakness which could let others question him. So after convincing and coaxing, he finally sent Zhan office.

Yibo too called his assistant and asked him to send everything at home so he could check. Even though he was okay but he knew he should need one more day to recuperate.

He even postponed their visit to his old home to next week so they could clear their work.

Master Xiao had come back to Xiao mansion on time as he promised to his lover but he was not happy. He wanted to see his boyfriend's face and hug him after working whole day. He too started investigating about Yunlan whose actual name of this life, he did not know but he knows the face and it was real this time.

He had dinner with his grandfather and then he went to his room as he had something to discuss with him.

" Grandpa " Zhan said.

Chairman Xiao hummed while looking at his grandson.

" I've something to ask and tell." Zhan said.

" I'm all ears." Chairman Xiao said.

" Grandpa will you agree if I like a man ?" Zhan asked. Well it did not matter to him whether someone oppose him but he and his grandfather was an important person in his life.

" What if I won't agree ? " Chairman Xiao asked with grim face.

" Then too you can't do anything. I won't change my decision." Zhan said and Chairman Xiao started to laugh.

" That's I expect from you." Chairman Xiao said in a proud tone.

" So you have no problem ?" Zhan asked.

" Hm, no problem." Chairman Xiao said.

" Thank you, grandpa." Zhan said.

" You like Yibo." Chairman Xiao said making Zhan a little surprised.

" I know you very well ,Zhan." Chairman Xiao said.

" Hm , I love him." Zhan said.

" Does he ?"

" Hm " Zhan said, remembering his crazy puppy.

" Then be together and happy. " Chairman Xiao said and Zhan hugged him.

" Thank you, grandpa. " Zhan said.

" Silly child ! Didn't I give you freedom for your personal life ? " Chairman Xiao said.

Zhan smiled and nodded. He broke the hug and stood straight.

" I'm gonna scold that brat ! How dare he has not come to me yet ! " Chairman Xiao said, pretending to be angry.

Zhan smiled to hear.

" Good night, grandpa !" Zhan wished and left but instead of going to his room , he went out of mansion.

Zhan was standing in Yibo's study where his boyfriend who clearly warned him about overworking and health was now himself was sleeping on stacks of files.

He moved towards him and was about to scoop him in his arms when Yibo opened his eyes.

" What are you doing here ?" Yibo asked in sleepy voice.

" I think it's you who should answer it." Zhan said, crossing his arms over his chest.

Yibo looked down at his desk and mentally slapped himself.

" I'm sleepy." Yibo said, tried to stand up but Zhan held him there, leaning on him, holding his shoulder.

" I think you have so much work." Zhan said , sarcastically.

" I'm done. Wasn't I sleeping ?" Yibo said , defending. He did not think Zhan would come at this hour.

" What you think what am I feeling now ?" Zhan asked, seriously.

" You are mad." Yibo said , looking down.

" I'm glad you know." Zhan said.

Of course Yibo had lots of arguments to give but he remain silent. He felt the more reason he gave he would hurt other in some way.

Zhan too understood but he just did not like that his love was not taking care of himself. Suddenly he realised something while looking at the figure in front of him.

" Let's go to bed." Zhan said , scooping Yibo in his arms.

Yibo did not speak just wrapped his arms around other's neck.

They went to room. Zhan placed him on bed and joined him.

" Don't be mad." Yibo said in tiny voice, putting his face in Zhan's crook.

" I'm not. I understand." Zhan said , softly while caressing his head. He realised that in this life too Yibo was alone. He had his grandfather but who was with Yibo ? When he was not in state to handle things, his grandpa did everything and Yibo helped him but here Yibo was all alone. He had no right to get angry on him.

" Really ?" Yibo asked, looking at his face.

Zhan smiled and kissed his forehead before nodding.

" That's great !" Yibo smiled widely.

" But why are you here ?" He asked.

" I was missing you." Zhan said.

" Why don't you keep me in your pocket ?" Yibo said , laughing.

" I would have if I could." Zhan said , sighing like it was something serious, making Yibo chuckled.

" It would have been fun." Yibo said , snuggling in his chest.

Zhan smiled.

" Did you have dinner ?" Zhan asked.

" Hm but I want to eat something tasty." Yibo said.

" What you want to eat ?"Zhan asked.

" Anything as long as it's tasty. Not much spicy neither too bland, just ingredients in perfect harmony and I'm satisfied." Yibo said.

Zhan smiled. Xu Yan was like that too and maybe this was the reason why in both lives, he was a great cook.

" It means I need to learn seriously." Zhan said.

" You don't need. You just need to accompany me." Yibo said, melting Zhan's heart. He kissed his head lovingly.

" Rest now. I know you are going to company in morning." Zhan said.

" You won't stop me ?" Yibo said.

" Just don't overdo, ok ?" Zhan said.

" Ok" Yibo said with a smile.

Zhan kept patting his back and soon his lover drifted to sleep. But he had no sleep in his eyes.

He gently placed his boyfriend's head on his arm and made some distance between them so he could see the sleeping face.

He caressed it softly. Feeling the warm touch Yibo leaned for it , making Zhan smile.

" I won't let anyone hurt you again. " Zhan whispered.
