Back in Shanghai;
On the carpet covered floor, the new Daoming Heir was lying on his front, unmoving.
"Do you think he had realized that he was abandoned by his mother?" Meizuo whispered at Ximen.
The man shook his head. "I can bet he'd realized it hours ago."
Meizuo nodded. "So that's the reason he's acting like a dead jellyfish." He added nonchalantly.
Ximen's head slowly turned to questioningly looked at Meizuo. "He's not dead. He's just hungry." He stated as matter-of-factly.
Meizuo scoffed. "I know. That was a metaphor."
Their whispering did not sit well with Fai. He slightly lifted his head and stared judgingly at his two uncles. His lips were pursed. It seemed like the boy was smart enough to realize that going on a hunger strike consumes energy.
The tallest member of F4 bit his lower lip before speaking carefully. "He's starting to look like Lei, don't you think?"
Ximen sighed in frustration. "Don't say that. This mansion can be all wired up. Do you want his father to hear such a statement?" He said with gritted teeth.
Meizuo shrugged.
"FAI!"
The two men watched the newcomer pick up the boy.
It was XiaoYu.
"Sweetheart!" Ximen happily exclamed, leaving Meizuo standing and quickly approached his fiancée. "I'm so happy to see you!"
Meizuo though confused, nodded in agreement.
Xiaoyu ignored the two and watched the boy in her arms suck on his tiny thumb. "Poor, baby." She whispered sadly.
Throwing a sharp look at Ximen and Meizuo; "How could you? He's hungry! Do you see how he bites his finger! Do you even have a heart?!" She reprimanded.
Ximen quickly followed Xiaoyu as the woman strided fast towards the kitchen. Opening the refrigerator and taking some food storage boxes. He watched her opened the nearest microwave and placed some food boxes inside.
The ping snapped him out of stupor and tried to stand closer with XiaoYu. "Sweetheart, please don't be mad! I was actually thinking seriously how I can feed him even before you came!"
After securing Fai in his seat and placing some milk in front of him, she turned and faced her fiancée. "Why didn't you give him anything?!" She asked, still mad.
Ximen smiled nervously. "Well the truth is--" Pointing at Meizuo. "--he was in-charge of the feeding!"
"HEY!" Meizuo complained.
Xiaoyu shook her head. "It doesn't matter who was in charge. You were both at fault!"
Ping!
The small woman looked at the microwave and quickly went back to glaring at the two. "I'm not yet done. I'll just feed Fai."
The two nodded fast.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Finish your veggies, baobei." Xiaoyu told Fai sweetly.
Fai nodded.
Xiaoyu realized that the boy was looking better now and tried to investigate. "Sweetie, didn't you like the food your uncles gave you?"
