Chapter 15. The mother-in-law...

Zhan's mother has decided to extend her vacation at Zhan's home and stay at least a week instead of the two planned days. Also because she would like to spend more time with Yibo.

She took Yibo into her heart from the first moment and knew that he was the right one for her son. And she plans to weld the two of them even closer together. But more than that, she wants to be a mother to Yibo that he never had.

On the third day of her stay, she sat in the apartment knitting. Zhan and Yibo were together in the city and wanted to spend some time together, go shopping here and there. So she had been alone when suddenly the doorbell rang and a young man stood there asking for Yibo.

"I am Seungyoun, Yibo's best friend. I came to see him. Is he at home?"

"My son-in-law is not here at the moment. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Son-in-law"?

"Yes, son-in-law! I'm Zhan's mother and I live here now."

"Is Zhan home? Can I speak to him?"

"No, you can't. My son and my son-in-law are out together, having a great day. No idea when they will be back. I just hope they take their time and have a wonderful day together."

"Oh OK. All right, I'm gonna go."

"Yeah, bye."

Zhan's mother closed the door and pointed her middle finger to the locked door. "You're not getting my son. He has Yibo and I won't allow a bird like you to separate them." She bitched and went back to the living room.

Of course, she already knew who Seungyoun is and that he had tried to drive a wedge between Zhan and Yibo. But luckily he didn't succeed. The two spoke to each other and are a heart and soul again.

"I'll protect my two boys, no matter what!" She said with raised fist and then sat down again to continue her knitting.

Yibo ran next to Zhan and couldn't stop smiling. Because he was just happy. Not only that he and Zhan talked and were close again. Zhan had also kept this day free to be there exclusively for Yibo.

And another good thing happened. Since he worked together with Zhan on the new book cover, not only his name or rather his alias is on it, but he also received a big check.

And Zhan doubled that check. Which gave Yibo enough money to realize one of his biggest dreams. To buy a motorcycle!

Already in a few days they would deliver his bike and Zhan promised him that when his mom left again they would go away together for a few days. Just him and Zhan.

But Zhan had another surprise for Yibo. As they sat in a café, Zhan asked if Yibo wanted to move in with him. "I want this to be another step towards our future together. I want you to move in with me." Zhan had told him and Yibo was indeed surprised but also overjoyed and agreed immediately.

The words, future together, went down like oil in Yibo. Just the idea of a common future with Zhan, maybe even as a married couple, which Zhan's mother wanted so much, made Yibo feel like he had wings and could fly.

For the first time in his life, Yibo felt as if he had arrived. As if the search, which he hadn't noticed anything about, was finally over and he had finally found what he had unconsciously always longed for. And in Zhan he has found a man whom he not only loves and adores, whom he not only trusts, but can also imagine a very long and happy future with him.

He had always wondered when he would fall in love for the first time. But he never thought about a man. He always assumed that he would see a woman and fall in love with her.

But it turned out differently. Different in a good and perfect way as Yibo noticed. Because now he could no longer even imagine loving anyone other than Zhan. Zhan, who is a man and loved Yibo in a way he never thought that is possible.

Zhan changed Yibo's life. Changed his view on so many things. Enlarged his little world and showed him what it means to be loved and that absolutely unconditionally.

Yibo and Zhan passed a jeweler and looked at the displayed jewelry in the shop window. Yibo's eyes fell on two wedding rings and he wondered if he would really marry his author one day?

They have only been together for half a year and it was probably too early to ask such a question, but that didn't change the fact that Yibo asked himself this question. And at the same time he knew that he would say yes immediately if Zhan asked him.

"Do you like the rings?" Asked Zhan and tore Yibo from his thoughts.

"Yes, they are beautiful." Yibo replied and blushed.

"Shall we go and have a look?" Zhan wanted to know.

"Um, I don't know. They're engagement rings or wedding rings." Yibo replied shyly.

"Let's find out together. Let's go inside." Said Zhan and took Yibo's hand.

"Are you sure?" Asked Yibo nervously.

"Absolutely! We're getting married anyway. And if we like them, we'll buy them." Zhan said.

"We're getting married?" Yibo asked stutteringly.

"Yes, unless you don't want to marry me." Zhan replied with his head tilted.

"I will, I will." It gushed out of Yibo.

Together, hand in hand, they entered the jeweler and were shown several engagement rings. But none of them liked Yibo as much as the two in the window.

"I think my fiancé likes the two rings in the window the most. Can you show them to us?" Zhan asked the goldsmith, who immediately took the rings and showed them to the two of them.

They tried the rings on and they fit perfectly. Yibo looked at his ring finger and his heart was beating like crazy. This ring is the perfect ring, he thought. He looked at Zhan and smiled.

Zhan knelt down in front of Yibo, the jeweler handed Zhan a red rose, Yibo started crying and he looked speechlessly at Zhan who obviously had already planned all this.

"Yibo my love, these rings are specially made by the jeweler, just for the two of us. I let them be made so that I could propose to you. Since I met you, my life is perfect. Everything I've ever wanted, everything I've ever searched for, I found in you. I love you so much, I can't imagine my life without you. I don't want to spend another day without you and grow old and grey with you by my side. I wish to be able and allowed to love you until the end of my life, as my friend and my husband. So, I'm officially asking you, will you marry me? Will you do me the honor of becoming my husband?" Asked Zhan and Yibo was a crying mass of happiness.

"Yes ZhanZhan, I will. I want it all. I love you too, and I want only you." Yibo responded happily.

Zhan stood up and took Yibo in his arms and pressed him firmly. The goldsmith and his two employees applauded. But Yibo didn't hear anything, he only had eyes and ears for one person. His fiancé, the author Xiao Zhan.
