It had been ten days that Yibo was back and he was recovering well. With him Zhan too was doing good.

They both were staying in Xiao mansion on grandpa Xiao's order. Mrs Wu naturally came there to take care of both Zhan and Yibo.

He had started to attend company but did not let Yibo go. He gave him permission to work from home but not over work.

When in evening, Zhan came back, he asked about Yibo and they told them that he was in room but before he could go, he was stopped by his grandfather.

" Zhan, I have something to talk." Chairman Xiao said.

Seeing the serious face Zhan realised that something was wrong. So he moved towards him and joined him.

" Zhan, are you doing well ?"

" Yes, grandpa. I'm fine." Zhan said.

" But not in my eyes."

" Grandpa, there is no problem." Zhan tried to assure.

" Zhan , I have seen the world. Even you are trying best but you can't deny there is tension between you and Yibo."

" No, grandpa !" Zhan said.

" I don't want to meddle. I just want you to be aware of Yibo's conditions. Perhaps you will know what you need to do."

Zhan's heart sank. What's more ?

" You have horrible experience. You almost lost Yibo but he too almost lost you." Grandpa Xiao said.

Zhan did not want to remember that but he did not get why his grandfather was talking about it.

" You know how Yibo was when you weren't here ?"

Zhan knew. He asked. His security head and assistant told him. It was so heart wrenching.

" He was like a body without soul. He was like a living dead and which making him move was only his desire for you."

" He blamed himself for your misery. He cried saying it was his fault and Zhan, he did not blink to rest in those days."

" It was tough for both of you. You were worried for him and he was for you."

" Zhan, if you have something to ask, something to say , just say and Yibo too will have the courage to speak his mind. Talk freely, Zhan."

" Sometimes hiding is good for others sake but if it strain your bond then there is nothing good about it. You have to understand what you needed to do."

Zhan listened chairman Xiao silently. Yes, he had a knot in his heart. It was about his past, about Tiankai words. Yibo just said it was over , nothing more but his heart almost stopped at the possibility of Yibo being aware of it.

He loved Yibo like eternity. He neither wanted to give him pain nor he had desire to leave him for any reason because every reason was absurd.

" Thank you, grandpa, I understand." Zhan said and bowed.

Then he left.

Chairman Xiao sighed. He hoped for their bright and happy future.

When Zhan entered,  he saw his husband reading a book on bed. Sensing his presence he looked up and smiled brightly.

" You are here. I was getting bored." Yibo whined and Zhan smiled slightly.

He , with long strides, approached him. He kissed his lover's forehead.

" I miss you." Zhan whispered near his forehead.

" Me too." Yibo said.

" Go freshen up first and then cuddle me if I hug you now I won't let you go." Yibo said and Zhan smiled.
