This story is fan fiction and has nothi...
We were already on our way out and to the car when the notary called Yibo and me again. He explained to us that there is another will, which is only meant for him and me.
Confused we went back to the office and the notary showed us another letter. There is also another video. The notary started the video and again Yibo's sick father could be seen.
"Yibo and Zhan, this is especially for you. As you now know, you both inherit the house that was once owned by my late wife. When she died, she also left a will. In it she said that she had known about her illness for a long time and knew that it was incurable. So she prepared everything for the time after her death.
She wrote in her will that she left the house to Yibo and Zhan. She was sure that the two of you would be a couple one day and wanted you to live together in this house. Apparently she had inherited money in addition to the house and had set up an extra account, from which the maintenance costs and care for the house were paid. She was clever enough to make sure that I could neither get into the account nor sell the house.
It had been her dream that one day you and Zhan would get married and live in that house. She wrote a long letter that the notary will give you. She wrote that she loves you very much and wishes that you will have a happy and long life together."
Then the notary read aloud what Yibo's mother wrote in the letter at that time. But it wasn't as long as Yibo's father said.
"My dear boys Yibo and Zhan,
unfortunately I cannot share these words with you personally, because by the time you read this, I will be long gone.
I remember when Yibo proudly came to our home for the first time with Zhan and told us that this is his new friend. You two always hung out together and always did everything together. And I knew you two would someday have a special relationship.
My wish was that you would always be together and I hope that it came true. I can't imagine anything separating you two. Your bond is very strong and that's why I'm sure you became a couple at an early age." Here the notary interrupted, because Yibo began to cry bitterly.
Yibo got up and left the office. I went after him and he took me in his arms. I said nothing and just held him. "If she knew what really happened, it would have broken her heart." Said Yibo bitterly weeping.
And once again I realize how much especially Yibo had suffered from the long separation from us. More and more I regret to have simply left at that time. But on the other hand, I would never have become a father and I can't imagine a life without Xinxin anymore.
After Yibo had regained his composure, we went back to the notary's office and he continued to read the letter.
"I have left you a house and I hope that the two of you can live a happy and content life there. And who knows, maybe the laws have already been changed and it will be possible for you to adopt a child.
I can well imagine what you two would be like as fathers. My Yibo would be a great dad and Zhan would be a very loving daddy.
This house was originally my brother's. Unfortunately he died young and left me the house and a full account, which will now belong to both of you. So you should be able to live a pleasant and quiet life.
Please take care of each other and do not let anyone separate you. I firmly believe that you both belong together.
I can't imagine Yibo without Zhan and Zhan without Yibo. It was your fate that you met and I am convinced that you are soulmates.
Please don't leave my son, Zhan, because even though Yibo always acts so cold, I know that he can't live without you.
You have made him into a different boy. He was always quiet, very secretive and didn't show any emotion. But since he met you, he's different. It is so nice to see him laugh so much when he is with you.
I know it would break his heart if you left him. So please hold him for me and keep making him happy.
I love you both very much and wish you a bright and happy future together. Mom."
The notary gave Yibo the letter and he gave me the bank details and all the documents for it. We signed for them to be given to us and then said goodbye to the notary.
When we came outside and sat in the car, we sat there in silence for quite a while. Yibo read the letter again and he started crying again. I stroked his cheek and he smiled.
"I told you before, she foretold us a very special future. I did not understand it then. But today I do. Luckily, she didn't realize we'd lost each other for over seven years." He said, and gave me a kiss. "Don't ever leave me again, ZhanZhan. You're my ZhanZhan, and I couldn't bear it a second time."
I wiped the tears from Yibo's face and smiled. "I have no intention of leaving you again. And at least one of your mother's dreams has come true. Namely that you're going to be a dad."
Yibo smiled. "This is true. Although she certainly didn't suspect that you would marry a woman and have a child with her, but this is what makes it possible for me and us to be a family. That's why I am grateful that you met Emma. Maybe this was also a destiny, so that we could have our destiny."
"I love you Yibo and I'm glad we're finally together. And I hope the three of us can be a good family."
"I love you too, my ZhanZhan. And I'm convinced we'll be good fathers to Xinxin and make a great family."
We kissed again and then Yibo started the engine and drove off.
"Do you think Hai Kuan also got a letter from your mother?"
Yibo shrugged. "I do not know. It would not surprise me. But if he did, I'm sure he got it back then. I guess I was too young then and that's why no one told me about her will."
I agreed with Yibo. At that time he had been too young when his mother died and it would have been useless for him to know about the inheritance.
To be honest, I am now very curious about the house. But that brings me to the question, will Yibo still want to move to California with me, now that he inherited the house? Or rather, now that we have inherited it?
Besides, Yibo told me he had something important to tell me. Something about his work. I am really curious about it and very curious what he has to tell me.
