EGO POV Zhan

Whenever I say goodbye to my husband and my son in the morning to go to the company and work, I look forward to the moment when I come home again and my husband awaits me with a delicious dinner and we spend time together with our son and later as a couple.

I never thought that my life would be so beautiful. I had been one-sidedly in love with Yibo for so many years and had no idea if and when I would ever see him again. Yet I was never able to turn off my feelings for him and fall in love again. I think it was already clear to me at the age of 13, it is Yibo and it can only be him!

And it has become Yibo! He is my Yibo. My husband. The father of my son. He is my true, absolute, real and only love and that will never change. I have found my dream man and married him! I love him beyond measure and even more.

Many of my friends often told me I was exaggerating when I talked about my love for Yibo. But honestly, I am not exaggerating. I can't describe it any other way than to say that I fall in love with him every single day. I have been in love with him since I was 13 years old. That is simply a fact! If my friends can't understand that, that's not my problem!

But back to the here and now, or rather, yesterday. Because yesterday, not only did our son turn 4 months old and sleep through the night from 10 pm to 6 am for the first time, but there was also an incident at work that made me think, okay, this is unexpectedly stupid!

In the morning, Yibo had woken me up with breakfast as he does every day since I stayed at his place for the first time. He had already washed, fed and changed A-Yuan and put him to sleep once again and sat in bed with me. We talked about Yibo picking me up from work that afternoon along with A-Yuan. Because we still had plans afterwards. For example, an appointment with the pediatrician.

Well, anyway, we were sitting there talking when his cell phone rang, and at six-thirty in the morning! At first we thought it was one of our customers from abroad, but no, it was his brother. As it turned out, my father-in-law had a heart attack that night. Luckily my mother-in-law was there, understood the seriousness and called 911!

He went to the hospital and had emergency surgery. He is stable now. My brother-in-law only wanted to let Yibo know because their mother called him and asked him to inform Yibo about it. It was clear that Yibo was still worried. Because in the last few months, he and his father have become really close. Since he really wanted to visit him but couldn't take A-Yuan with him, we called my parents who gladly agreed to watch A-Yuan until Yibo got back and they also offered to take him to the pediatrician.

I went to take a shower, get dressed, and head off to work while Yibo waited for my parents and then headed off to the hospital. So far so good.

When I arrived at the company, I immediately set about reading and answering the emails, made phone calls, had a meeting with my employees, and got back to work. As usual, the time went by quite fast, as there is always a lot to do. And so it had quickly become 2 pm where there was a knock on my office door.

A woman came into my office, I recognized her immediately because I had seen her picture before. Her name is Gina and she was the one who was supposed to marry Yibo, but fortunately it never happened. I asked her what she wanted and she said, "I would like to talk to Yibo."

"Well, he's not in the office. Can I help you?" I replied. It seemed strange to me that she suddenly appeared in the office. Since the time she came to the office with Yibo's father and Yibo told her clearly that he would not marry her, we had never heard from her again.

"I don't know if you can help me. Actually, I was going to tell Yibo myself."

"Tell him what?"

"Well, I'm pregnant."

"I see, and?"

"And Yibo is the father."

"Oh really?" And here I thought, okay this one is obviously unexpectedly stupid. But I played along with the game for now.

"Yes. Actually, we were going to keep our relationship a secret, but now we can't."

"How long have you been a couple?"

"For a month and a half."

"And then you're already pregnant now?"

"Yes. It happened when we spontaneously slept with each other."

"I see, and where was that?"

"In his office."

I pointed my hand at the glass wall separating Yibo's office from mine and asked her, "In that office?"

"Yes."

"Where was I then? Because there are no curtains. I should have seen it then."

"I don't know where you were. We were all alone in the office."

"And why were you there?"

"Well he called me and said he wanted to talk to me again about getting married. And when I came here, Yibo said he had been thinking about me ever since. One thing led to another and we had sex on his desk. Since then we have had a secret relationship. He doesn't want his father to know about us right now because he was so stressed about the engagement back then and really yelled at his father."

"Mhhh, I see. And now that you're pregnant, of course you want him to stand by you right?"

"Exactly."

"And you know who I am as well I assume?"

"Yes."

"So, shouldn't that give you something to think about?"

"No. Yibo said he's only with you because he could never have started the company on his own."

"Oh really? He told you that?"

"Yes. I know it's hurtful to hear that now. But I don't want to lie to you. Not like Yibo."

"Well, what do you think I should do now?"

"You should break up with him. Once he finds out I'm expecting his child, he'll want to break up with you anyway. He had already told me last week that he doesn't feel like pretending to be gay anymore, just because of the company."

"He was just pretending?" Even though I knew she was lying and bullshitting, it pissed me off and made me really angry. I should have laughed, but I didn't feel like it. After all, she claimed that Yibo was lying to me, taking advantage of me and cheating on me! Still, I tried to stay calm.

"Yes. He said he had never been gay and it even takes him a lot of effort to kiss you."

"If that's the case, then I guess I should be grateful to you for opening my eyes and telling me the truth."

"I didn't mean to hurt you, but I think you deserve the truth." Stupid woman!

"But what am I supposed to do now? If I break up with Yibo, he'll lose his half of the business and have no income and no money. Then how will he be able to support you financially with the baby?"

"I don't think that's a problem. His father is rich and I'm sure he would let Yibo work in his business again when he hears he's going to be a grandfather."

"Are you sure that's how it's going to work? Because I don't want you to end up penniless and unable to feed your baby."

"We'll make it work for sure. I'll also talk to Yibo's father later and tell him about the pregnancy."

"I'm sure it won't be that easy. Because if you really know who I am, you should know that Yibo and I are married. So a simple separation won't be enough for that."

"But your marriage is not real! And you couldn't register it officially either."

"You think?"

"Yes. Yibo told me."

"Interesting what Yibo told you. There are even things in there that are completely new to me."

"I can't help it. I know you're angry and disappointed now. But I'm just telling you the truth and what he told me."

"Okay, now pay attention sweetie. Do you know that guy who works in Yibo's office there?" I asked, pointing at Seungyoun.

"No."

"No? Funny, you should actually know him. Because that's Seungyoun, Yibo's best friend. And he's substituting for Yibo here at the office. Because Yibo hasn't been here in the office for four months. Actually, even longer. Because Yibo works from home to take care of our 4-month-old son. So it's not even possible that Yibo is the father of your unborn child. And it is also not possible that you are having an affair. Besides, I know that Yibo really loves me and is not just pretending."

"I'm telling the truth, though! He is with me! I was here on a Saturday and he had sex with me. We met here regularly on weekends because no one could catch us here!"

"Gina, that's bullshit! Our office, all our rooms here, are video monitored. Besides, Yibo hadn't been out alone on any Saturday or Sunday. And certainly not since we had our son. Our marriage is actually officially registered. You have no idea what kind of bullshit you are talking. You don't even know that Yibo and his father have reconciled months ago. And that Yibo's parents are together again. You lie without blushing! Unbelievable! What do you expect from that? Did you really think I'd believe you? I would never do that! I trust Yibo and know what his true feelings for me are."

"What's going on?" Yibo asked, suddenly standing in my office with our son.

Gina turned to him startled and stammered, "Oh Yibo honey, there you are. I was just telling Zhan about you and me."

"About both of us? About what? What's going on?" Yibo wanted to know. He came to me and handed me our son. He kissed my forehead and then had me explain to him why Gina was there and what she was saying. Yibo then said, "Cover our son's ears because this is going to get loud."

"Hey I..." Started Gina.

"Shut the fuck up, you lying bitch! Do you really think you can just show up here and spread lies like that? Are you out of your fucking mind? How stupid are you anyway? Didn't I tell you clearly that there will never be anything between us? Don't you get it? I love Zhan and our son dearly. I would never leave him for such an unexpectedly stupid bitch like you. I think it's better if you leave right now. Before I really lose my temper!" Yibo shouted.

Because A-Yuan was frightened when Yibo suddenly shouted out like that, he started to cry. Yibo immediately pulled him back to him, kissed his sweet cuddly cheeks and whispered, "I'm sorry little one. Dad was just mad." A-Yuan quickly calmed down in response.

"You heard Yibo. Please go. And don't ever come here again. Find someone else and leave us alone." I said calmly. Gina spun around and literally stormed out of the office.

Yibo sat down with me, kissed me and said, "I'm sorry. I don't know..."

"It's okay honey. I knew she was lying right away. I trust you 100%. But tell me, how is your dad?"

"He's fine. He woke up and was already laughing again."

"Thank God. I was really worried."

"Mn. So was I. But after I saw that Dad was already fine, I picked up A-Yuan from your parents again. I think we should take him to the pediatrician."

"Okay. Then I'll turn off the computer now and get ready, then we can go."

"Mn. Hey Zhan?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you."

"Haha, I love you too." I replied.

I turned off the computer, put on my jacket, grabbed my bag and walked to the car with Yibo. We drove to the pediatrician, who is very pleased with A-Yuan's development. Now our son is already 49 centimeters tall and weighs 3900 grams. He got another vaccination and Yibo suffered more than A-Yuan. The little one cried short and hard, while Yibo also had tears in his eyes and said that it really hurt him to hear his son crying like that.

When it comes to our son or me, Yibo is always very sensitive. But not with others. There he is cold and dismissive. But as soon as it is about us, he is wonderfully loving and gentle. 1000 people and more could come to me and claim that Yibo has something with them and I would not believe a single one. Because I experience Yibo's love every single day.

My Yibo means everything to me. Just like our son. And I know 100%, that Yibo feels the same way with A-Yuan and me! Our love is real and nobody can break it!
