Chapter 21 (Baby Steps )

"Do you think...ehemmm...Sir ..is,,,," Xu Ma asks

"AHemmm....there is no question about it, it is just that they both needs to question themselves about it" Lam seems to be like a philosopher for once in his life and both Xu Ma and Lam smile secretly at each other without those three knows what is in their minds.

Looking at the arguing trio, Xu Ma and Lam just fold their arms and waiting for them to settle among themselves

"Wow, papa, only you and I are on the big dining table ma, so they cannot join us and play the spoon game" Ah Xian told his father

"Does that mean if I let them eat at the main dining table, we can all play game, er" Zhan asks as he really wanted to have Yibo at his side, and also he doesn't likes his son to abandon him as well.

"Ya, so papa, what do you want, er" Ah Xian asks

"From tomorrow onwards, dinner will be at the main dinner, with Yibo, Xu Ma and Lam joining us" Zhan announces


Now, Zhan is a very experienced businessman and of course, he knows what his son wants, Ah Xian wants to have Yibo with him and also he knows that Yibo will only come if the other comes as well. Thus, Ah Xian challenged his father and not knowing that his father is more experienced than him, honestly, this is also somehow Zhan desires. He likes the company of that quiet and silent boy who is always striking for peace and Yibo brings an aura and vibes of peace and happiness and of course Zhan loves his handsome looking face as well, innocent and sweet and even prettier than a girl, however, all these are in Zhan's heart now. However, Zhan is still ever careful with Yibo because of his own past experiences but also because he knows Yibo is still young and may not even likes him the way he likes Yibo. So, everything is baby steps.

Thinking about it, Yibo is stressed because he is not sure if he has enough money to pay for his course. His work here hasn't been paid till end of the month. Also, he gave his bank account book to Xu Ma, now the boy is at a lost what to do, but still he is quiet and just follows everyone back to their own room.


Zhan left them first and went into his study to do his usual work. Ah Xian has to bath and sleep early as tomorrow he has to wakes up early and follow the car with Zhan to work and on the way Zhan will drop Ah Xian. The arrangement has been told to him by Xu Ma and Yibo is now walking slowly into his room.
