"Z.X publishing company wants to recruit you?" Madam Yi asked Bao Yu when she informed Madam Yi once Zhan Xiao left.

Madam Yi had seen Bao Yu's short story. She felt pity when she heard that the story didn't get to win.

"Yeah. But I'm not sure, Why he wants to recruit me?" Bao Yu replied to her as she moped the floor.

"Come here" Madam Yi called Bao Yu to sit next to her and opened her laptop to check about the company.

Bao Yu was shocked to know that Zhan Xiao was actually the C.E.O and the founder of Z.X publishing company. He started his own company when he was studying in his college at the age of eighteen. Z.X publishing was one of his other companies. He also skipped grades in school because of his intelligence and his IQ level was over 190 which shocked both Madam Yi and Bao Yu.

"His company has won so many awards and also the author under his company who wrote 'Can I trust you?' won three awards last year. He also won best young entrepreneur award" Madam Yi eyes popped out while reading the information on the online about Zhan Xiao.

"So he really wants to publish my works?" Bao Yu asked in disbelief.

"Hey, what are you waiting for. Just call him up and say yes to him. Opportunities like this rarely knock our door" Madam Yi encouraged her.

Still Bao Yu was confused, even though he wants her to work for him how did he find out where she works. As far Bao Yu remembered she didn't mention the address of Madam Yi's restaurant or Papa Ning's house address. How did he came here?

"Just let me think for sometime" Bao Yu informed her and went out to buy the things for the restaurant.

The heat almost killed Bao Yu so she went to the nearby cafe to drink something cold. When she was waiting for her order Bao Yu heard someone was shouting and the voice was familiar to her. So she turned and saw Bai Ling was shouting at some man.

"My real father is Papa Ning not you. I don't want to live with you. So here after don't come to me begging to go with you. I don't want to leave my family. I don't care even if you're my own father" Bai Ling took his bag and turned to leave but he was stopped when he saw Bao Yu who was standing like a statue.

Bao Yu blinked, feeling nervous for encountering him, "I didn't hear anything". She got her drink and quickly ran away.

As per their conversation, Bao Yu got to know that man was Bai Ling's biological father and now he wants to take Bai Ling back. Does Papa Ning know about that? What about Ning Xuan and Qing Ze?

Bao Yu mind was occupied with so many thoughts that she failed to notice Bai Ling was following her.

Few days ago Bai Ling's father came to him and said that he want to take care of Bai Ling now that his business was doing well. He also said to Bai Ling that his mother was missing him a lot and feeling bad for abandoning him in the orphanage. They did that because they were so poor. Now his parents became rich so they decided to get him back.

Bai Ling was shocked to know that his parents were still remembered him all these years after leaving him in the orphanage. At first, Bai Ling was couldn't able to accept the fact that his parents left him in the orphanage so one day he escaped from the orphanage and went to look for his parents.

He was only nine years old. He doesn't remember that much about the surrounding area and he also don't have any money on him. He was just wandering alone in the street with hunger. He was almost fainted suddenly Papa Ning appeared in front of him and offered him food.

When Papa Ning heard about Bai Ling's story he decided to look after the kid. Papa Ning informed the orphanage that he was willing take care of Bai Ling. With the help of Papa Qing he completed the procedure for adoption and took Bai Ling to his home.

At first Ning Xuan was confused seeing a kid at the same age as her in home. When she got to know that he will be her elder brother she was so happy. Even Qing Ze was happy that he got younger brother. From that day onwards Bai Ling decided that Papa Ning, Papa Qing and Ning Xuan, Qing Ze were his only family.

Papa Ning decided to keep his original name 'Bai Ling' instead of changing it.

But right now this man was claiming to be Bai Ling's biological father came to him to take him back. Bai Ling really don't have any intention to get reunited with his real family. All he want was to take care of Papa Ning and Ning Xuan. So he clearly said to Mr.Bai that he don't want to go back with him also not to look for him.

Bai Ling wants to hide the meeting with his biological father from the others because he doesn't want to worry his family. But he didn't think he will get caught by Bao Yu.

He walked fast and pulled Bao Yu with him. Bao Yu was startled by his sudden appearance, "Hey, where are you taking me?"

Bao Yu tried to free her hand from his grip but he was too strong. Bao Yu mentally slapped herself that she should have practiced more instead of memorizing the martial arts moves.

Bai Ling pinned her on the wall. When her back hit the wall Bao Yu hissed in pain, "What do you think you're doing?"

"What do you think you're doing? Eavesdropping on others" Bai Ling gripped her shoulder, "I don't care how much you have heard but if you said anything to Papa Ning or others, I don't know what I'll do to you. So make sure you keep your mouth shut" with that he left.

Bao Yu was looking at his disappearing figure. She understand one thing that Bai Ling doesn't want Papa Ning to know. He doesn't want to hurt him. Bao Yu smiled and then her face changed at thought of his rude behavior, "I'm going to hid it for Papa Ning, not for you"

Bao Yu punched the air like it was Bai Ling and then she ran to Madam Yi's restaurant.

On the other hand Papa Qing was frustrated to know that his ex-wife wants Qing Ze to live with her. He informed Papa Ning about that who was shocked and upset. His ex-wife was already married a rich businessman and started a new family, but still she insisted to get Qing Ze back.

To Papa Ning the trio was everything even if Bai Ling and Qing Ze was not his own sons but he still considered them as his own. Papa Ning adviced Papa Qing to inform Qing Ze so that he will decide what he wants.

Papa Qing informed about this to Qing Ze when they had dinner.

Qing Ze kept quiet for few seconds, "Why does she wants me now? Is she forgot that she left me because she thought I will be a burden to her. Now why she wants me? Tell her that I'm not interested"

"Yes, Papa Qing tell her that he won't go with her" Ning Xuan held Qing Ze's right hand.

"He doesn't have a mother. We are his family" Bai Ling held onto his left hand.

Papa Qing and Papa Ning was laughing at them seeing how clingy they were.

Bao Yu was immersed in her thoughts. 'Why it's happening to Bai Ling and Qing Ze at the same time? It's been ten years they were living fine without them but why suddenly Bai Ling parents wants him back? Why Qing Ze mother wants him back? Is it because of the so-called butterfly effect that she came into this world? Is it happening because she appeared in front of the trio?

What if it's really because of her?'
