Half an hour later, when they are desperately waiting for the pizza delivery to come, the doorbell rings.

"Oh! Great! The pizza is coming!' cries Yibo, jumps up from the couch.

Chu Tian gets up from her lying position and looks at her Daddy as he walks to the door. After pays the delivery man, Yibo comes back to the couch. He opens the box.

"Whoaa... I'm hungry already....!" Chu Tian closes her eyes as she scenting the fragrant of the pizza.

Yibo takes one slice of the pizza and passes it to Chu Tian.

"Be careful. It's hot!" warns Yibo.

Chu Tian receives the pizza with her small hands. She flinches when the pizza touches her hands.

"Daddy! It's hot!" cries Chu tian. makes a protest.

"That's what I told you, ma?" Yibo glares at her. He takes the pizza back from Chu Tian's hands.

Yibo feeds Chu Tian with one hand, and feed himself with another hand.

"How?" asks Yibo.

"Mmmm.... It's fantastic!" Chu Tian clapping her hands.

"I told you.... It's more cheesy, right?" Yibo snorts.

"Daddy? Why Poppy takes so long for the meeting?" asks Chu Tian.

Yibo glances at his phone. The screen was blank.

"Turn my phone on, please?" asks Yibo to his daughter.

Chu Tian do what Yibo asks her. The time tells it's 8.20. That means Xiao Zhan has left for 2,5 hours.

"Maybe it's a serious matter," says Yibo, comforting Chu Tian. Or comforting himself? Because he feels uneasiness in his chest when he realized that Zhan has gone for quiet some time, and it's in the night.

Chu Tian finished 2 slices of pizza. Not because she feels full, but because she feels sleepy and dozing off into the pizza box.

"Oh my Goodness...!" Yibo lifts Chu Tian's face from the pizza box that left one slice of pizza in it.

"You're smell like cheese now...." he mumbles. 

Yibo carries the girl to her room. It's 9 o'clock already. Chu Tian supposed to sleep at 8.30, but because she determines to wait for her Poppy, she refused when Yibo asks her to go to sleep. And she still eating her pizza, though. So Yibo just let her eating.

Yibo puts her daughter on her bed. He takes a small towel from Chu Tian's chest drawer and wet it with the water he took from the tap water in the bathroom. Then he wipes Chu Tian's face to get rid of the pizza smell. If  Xiao Zhan finds out, he will nag like crazy.

After he put Chu Tian to bed, he comes out of the room and turns the lights in the room off. He glances at the door, expecting Xiao Zhan coming back, but to no avail. He sighs. Then he turns the TV off and the lights, too. He goes into his room.

He turns on his computer and checks his works, the documents, the files and the emails from the business partners. He checking wether he has the meeting in the upcoming calendar or other appointments.

He startles when the phone is ringing. He goes excited, thought it was Xiao Zhan who rings him. But it turns out to be Guo Cheng. Yibo frowns. He looks at the time on his handphone and lets Guo Cheng's call keeps ringing. It's almost 10.

Reluctantly, Yibo picks up the call.

"Wei?" Yibo answers the call.

"Hey, Bro! Wuzup? Why do you sound not happy?" asks Guo Cheng.
