In his attempt,to prevent Sean from falling .. wangji caught him by his waist..but in  process there face came closer,with only few inch distance..

" You okk.???." wangji asked in his usual  stotic voice... hearing him sean looked up, meeting the cold chilli eyes of the person holding him,Sean gasp..it was first time sean..being so closer with this poker face,but this face was not one can really ignore,white milky skin,soft Roseberry juice lips meant to be kissed..pointed nose,sharp jawline...dazzling eyes..broad forehead,with black hairs covering it half..Sean was dumb folded for a second mesmerized in view of a god .. deity standing before him..it was for a moment when wangji called him out again, breaking the series of thought that was running in silly brain of sean.

" you are fine.." wangji called again seeking his attention,Sean came back to his senses..and found himself in someone's embrace..he pull his body , moving backward swiftly...to escape the awkward situation,but to his bad luck..he stumbled over his foot..*thumb..his back touched the ground...the thing they prevented to happen earlier , finally happened.

" aaa..a my back." Sean hissed in pain,as his bum kissed the cold floor.

" Oh..Sean ..are you fine.. get up...."zhoucheng who was all this time silently watching the show ,was able to breakfree from the grip of qing who being a romantic shipper was holding him tightly, preventing him from helping Sean,so that one standing close to him could help him.

" No,I am fine..only my bum broked and heart jumped out of shock.... idiot,why didn't you helped me,were waiting for my death.." Sean wishpered,in anger,...for only zhoucheng to listen getting up..but unknown to them someone was also listening them.

" aa..not my fault,its qing..she blocked me..God knows what is she thinking..."zhoucheng replied back in wishpered,...Sean glared at Qing..with a look saying that... don't you dare to,think about it..it won't happen!.

Qing,just rolled his eyes ignoring him.pretending not know what Sean was pointing at.. being all pitiful and innocent.

" Wu..*sob..yuan is sorry...*sniff ..awu.. sorry...mumma sorry...*sob..." Little angel,who stood beside Sean,cried out.....

During this whole time,no one had actually paid attention to yuan...who being small kid,was lost among the group of people s.

" Aaa..baby,wait..."Sean panicked seeing yuan all of sudden fearing that the kid got hurt to... bending down Sean wiped his flowing tears.

" aa..baby what happened,stop crying..did.you got hurt??"wangji who had rushed closer to yuan  in fast speed,said caressing his head.

",.. mum...*sob mumma got hurt...yuan hurt mumma..*sob.."

"No baby..who said mum.m...i got hurt ,look I am fine.." Sean said, smiling brightly to the little angel, showing he was perfectly fine.

" But, mumma said.. you died....and heart..jump..p.."

" aa..aa..baby..a..mumma was just kidding,..look is fine..stop crying,my baby so strong..how can he cry.." Sean, stopped yuan from completing his sentence, cutting him in middle..who knows what would wangji think about him...it was so embarrassing.

" But.."

" Haha..ha,if yuan will stop crying mumma will give you a hug.." Sean wishpered pinching yuan's cheeks,wangji glanced him with a suspicious sight, bribing a kid....but he ignored,if his yuan is happy nothing matters to him.

" Yup..yuan wants a hug.."little angle jumped in excitement, throwing his body on Sean..who caught him hugging tightly.yuan was happy ..as Sean picked him up , making him giggle in joy.

Finally everyone relaxed as things settled quite perfectly... together they moved towards the registered place,for dinner...

Zhoucheng shifted closer to Sean, accompanying him... leaving other to head forward.

" Hey!.. when did you became his mother....??" Zhoucheng asked leaning closer to his ear.

" I did not..!!"

" you did not!!!then whom did I heard saying.. mumma will hug you.. mumma do this.. mumma do that.what are thinking...of.look we arranged,a perfect date for you....so" before he could finish speaking,Sean cutted his talk....

" Date!! Is this called date..with so much people....." Sean asked, frowning his brows...his assumption was correct,they desperately dragged him here,to sold him over on a date...

" Oh..that..that,we plan no leaving you with him alone,but thanks to your so called baby and this lan family everything ruined..." Zhoucheng complained...while sean thanked his baby,and mr.lan for rescuing him,from the coming danger..else he would have surely being shipped with this stranger.

" Whose baby,I am just going with the flow..." Sean explained, denying all sort of assumption Cheng was having in his mind.little angle like a angel in his life..his protection shield from being hooked up in marriage.

" Ya..ya, going with flow...I will just pray,that this flow will not flow you with it one day...God keep my brother safe.." zhoucheng sighed, seeing Sean happily laughing with that kid in his arms....his brother had suffered a lot..that it's scars still remained.he just want him to be safe and happy,it doesn't matter that makes him happy.....he is ready to do everything.

Zhoucheng thought, walking behind him..but unknown to him, someone else had same assumption seeing them together.wangji also wanted his yuan be happy like all other,normal kids..yuan being a so sensetive and emotionally weak can't get along with everyone not with his own family.all he do is talk with him and grandma...it's really exceptional ..to see yuan being comfortable with strangers,... .

Reaching the reserved table, everyone settled down....with Qing and yanli taking seat at both side of Sean to help with the baby,who refused to leave his side and ended up sitting on Sean's lap...... although,Sean felt something fishy with both being so considerate about him all of sudden but he was still comfortable that he don't have to sit with the strange date.

But as Sean suspected, not only his family side were crazy the lan family was even more on there head over heels..only to make wangji be seated opposite to the innocent bunny...with Grandma and senior lan on both his side.wangji was not in any loss,since it was only a dinner..and by sitting infront of Sean,he could easily monitor the little angel ....one to loose was Sean..who had to face the cold gazes of poker face each seconds,which almost made him loose his appetite...who can even think of swallowing any food when stucked in such a situation.

As heard of lan pride and prosperity,there foods were also extravagant.. shouting about how fantasizing they were.A series of waiters entered the area....and served the food on the table..the food amount and variety was good enough to make a complete feast,if fifty more people joined them..it was not like,Sean had never seen or eaten all this food ever before,but he never focused on the look of foods when served in plates...if it would have any other time,he could have just started eating , without giving the glimpse on his looks.

But today he had to wait.. obediently,which gave him a chance to be mesmerized with the decorations on the table...as if he was attending the museum where food were showcased instead of antiques.

Everyone stayed silent untill all the waiters left,then comes the task of first you first you...which was soon dismissed by shizux(second son of lan)who picked the chicken cube, putting it inside his mouth....that gained him a death glare from mrs.lan...

Witnessing the cold stare of his mother, shizux was about to spit it out when me.lan spoke.. pausing him...

" ha..ha..let's get started, everyone is hungry....no need for strange etiquette.." Mr.Binghe said.. calling everyone attention...

Shizux In process to swallow it..when paused again... hearing the threatening voice of mr.lan.

" Ya..but younger should show some respect to elder by waiting..when eating..right shizux" she said..each words clear crystal..with harsh voice.surely her voice can bring goosebumps to anyone.

Shizux nodded getting what she meant ...now he was confused whether to swallow or spit out the chicken.

" Mumma yuan wants to eat..." angel said, pulling Sean to look at him.....and shizux relaxed, finally swallowing it ...he is not the younger one here,so why wait.

"oh." sean looked at the table, thinking what he could feed yuan...maybe he won't like spicy..so he ended up picking the chocolate cake..no child will reject sweet.

Sean took a spoonful of cake, bringing it near to yuan mouth for bite..

" No,yuan don't eat......swe.e...nothing.."wangji warned him..his extended hand that was about to stop Sean,freezed midair...and the pitch of his voice lowered when yuan ate the cake,and was happily munching it.

Sean was surprised more of panicked, thinking that he did wrong...but getting nothing wrong...maybe just his illusion.The thing he thought as illusion was a reality,as wangji and grandma looked at eachother confirming what they saw.there yuan was actually eating sweet..that also chocolate..never in there whole life they had seen him eating such sort of thing..and so they thought he is dislike sweet ,allergic to chocos.... because Everytime he would vomit eating or even smelling it.

And here this little angle is showing other side infront of his so called mumma... little devil.

" Looks like,our yuan likes this sweet!" grandma said,beeming at Sean..with a smile.

" Yeah.. everyone like sweet, especially kids.." Sean replied without taking his eyes from yuan.

" Oh I see.."grandma said,but eyes were on wangji...her lips curved with a evil smirk......on other hand wangji just gave her a glance ,not getting what she was pointing at.

"Oh.. our Sean also like sweet..to much.." yanli told them..

" And spicy too..he loves spicy food" Qing added.. agreeing with yanli...

" He likes everything, untill it is eadible.." zhoucheng said.. jumping in middle of there soft talks... shizux giggled hearing it,as he had bad timing controlling his laughter while wangji maintained his usual face... yanli glared at zhoucheng ..and them at her husband, signalling him to stop his mindless brother,not to ruin there hard work.

Mr.jin got what her wife meant.. leaning towards zhoucheng he wishpered in his ear..." Just focus on eating,don't dig your and my grave here.."

" What??"

" Just eat,don't talk.."jin pleased him..with pityful eyes.

Sean continued feeding yuan ,untill he was full.finally it was his turn to fill his stomach...he picked the food with his chopstiks and was about to eat it..but couldn't..

" Oh..right I forgot,our yuan birthday is after two months..so we are inviting you and your full family in his birthday party.."grandma said..with full of respect,her expression she wished for a yes.

Sean found himself speechless.what logic is there for inviting in a party that would after two months....

Finding innocent boy without words,yanli replied instead." Yes we will gladly come..thanks for inviting,and Sean will come too.."

" Talking about birthday,when is your birthday..Sean??" Mr.lan questioned.

" I don't remember.... sorry..I didn't !!" Sean replied without thinking,..and the moment he realized his mistake of talking back..he apolized for his behavior.

'pftt.... shizux couldn't stop this time ..he laughed silently, escaping the glares of his mother.

" It's 5 of October.." yanli replied fast.. maintaining the situation.but mr.lan didn't showed any offended feeling..looks like he is used to it perfectly well.

" Chinese Zodiac sign??" grandma asked again.

This time Sean didn't intentended to give any answer since her sister is already selling him..at a very cheap price.but he cried in his,...as he couldn't even got a chance to have a bite accompanied with series of question bombarding on him.sean decided to fill his stomach with drink.. better then nothing.

" bunny.."

" Great,our wangji has lion..what a comparatible pair.."grandma said in excitement... clapping her hands..

Cough*.. cough..!! Sean choked on his drink hearing her...here Sean plan on not meeting them again in life,and there..he is being shipped.its was second time his family tried to hook up him,with someone..and that also wangji...poker face...it was ok till it was for fun,but now it's heading over head...that needed to stopped at once.

Yanli caressed his back, comforting him.meanwhile Qing leaned over to his his side..as she wishpered on his ear.

" Remember my horoscope......" Qing said, blinking at him..with a smirk.

Sean recalled back,about all sort of words she said..in morning when reading his horoscope.

Lucky color black..meet someone special..and avoid.....(didn't heard).Sean glanced infront full lan family ,all in black...then little angel.. someone special...and what was about avoiding..
ding* his brain snaped ...was him avoiding something meant to poker face...oh shit,Sean cursed himself for not listening Qing during that time....

" I need to use restroom.." Sean excused himself... getting up...but again this little devil clinging on his neck,how to avoid him..

" nooo..mumma...yuan will go with mumma... please"yuan cried loudly, griping him tightly,when Sean was about to put him down.

" Yuan come down..let him go.." wangji scolded...and before he could get up to personally take him down ,Sean stopped him.." it's ok..I can take him with me.."

" Yeah..that good, shizux go with to help him with yuan.."mr.lan ordered his son,...to accompany this loving mother son pair..

" Me??"

" Is there any more shizux here!!go now don't only eat." Mr.lan backfired...it was the only time when his voice , seemed harsh..sure he belongs to same family of lan.sean prayed his ancestors,...that mr.lan didn't mind his behavior few minutes before..

As an obdient child shizux followed Sean behind..who was carrying yuan.walking few steps ,when shizux was confident that he would not be caught...he paused his steps..

" You,go alone..I will wait here.."

Sean turned back... he smiled, finally someone showing his true color... putting yuan down to stand on his foot..he moved closer to him." Why, didn't your father told you to help me.."

" help you..are you a baby??,who needs help when doing your own work.." shizux replied back,..like a spiked brat.

" I may not need you,but yuan needs you.. to hold him.beside don't you fear that I will complain about you.."Sean backfired,.. showing his dominance.

"I am not scared of your complain..do try doing that..I will make your life hell.."shizux warned him..with confident smile.

" Are you threatening me..!!"

" It's just a suggestion,don't cross my way..you don't know me..I am lan..."before shizux can continue Sean cutted him in middle.

" Ye ye..the lan family grown up spoiled child,who fears his mother .." Sean teased him,..this rich brat don't know whom is picking with,..sean is not anyone to be easily messed with.

" Stop teasing me..else I will tell everyone that the one they think all decent and sweet is so cunning in nature.." shizux said turning back,to go back inside..

" Yeah yeah..go go tell,then I will also tell everyone that there second son caries lighter with him.." Sean shouted from behind.. pausing shizux,who felt like he is being caught red-handed.. goosebumps ran all over his body, thinking the consequences..and the angered face of mrs.lan.

Turning back, shizux shifted fast closer to Sean....

" What do you mean by that??no wait how you know about lighter??"shizux confusedly asked,..

" me,I just had glance..when you were shuffling over your pocket ... during school opening." Sean replied in attitude,  winning the match with this spoiled brat.

" You..heh,that not goodmanner to eye drop someone..and by the way,it doesn't belong to me.. it's of my friend,It just mistakenly...came in my bag.." shizux told him,he didn't feared anything..since it is not his,and be neither smokes...

" Oh,but when did I said..you smoke...but how will you explain to your mother.even if you don't,but your friend does...once your mother knows it...she would ban you from going college,stop from meeting friends....even send you abroad.." Sean explained,... bringing shiver in shizux spine.shizux knows it very well that this all can happen..with mrs.lan who wanted to show his child all educated and mannared...could do that.

" But no, worries...till you follow me..your secret will remain secret.." Sean said patting his shoulder.shizux looked his suspiciously,..." I promise!" Sean swear, keeping his deal.....

" Come on,yuan let..g..o..o" turning back,Sean panicked..his foot frozed at the spot...his mind went blank all of sudden..and hands trembled...

" Shi...shiz..zux.. shizux" Sean words cracked ,he couldn't complete ... without seeing back,his hand grabbed shizux hand.. squeezing it.

" What...??"

" Yu..yuan...you.."

" What yuan!!"

" yuan is not here!!" Sean finally spoke ..few words came out of his mouth.

" Not here.....where is yuan" shizux screamed,not finding little angel at the place where he was minutes ago..

" I..i don't know..h.." Sean panicked,it was all his fault..why did he even put yuan down..if he had carried him all along something like would have not happened.

" Oh..God,my brother will not show mercy on me ,if something happens to yuan...." Shizux..cried out loudly..... imagining his brother ,he fear s the cold gazes of wangji even in normal situation...and what will happen if he learned about yuan being missing.

" You are still,his family..but me..I am an stranger..think about me...He will surely choke me to death..this time..please so something.." Sean cried..he begged, squeezing shizux hand.. tightly.

" Stop hurting me...don't just stand,let's find him before someone notices it...." Shizux said, dragging sean in direction..where yuan could have possibly headed too....

Yuan could have not gone too far,in this less time.it was not too dangers,since the place was under surveillance cameras..if needed they could check it..but that will mean to notify everyone.

Thinking about yuan all alone,with his nature he surely will be scared..Sean was more of terrified..what if yuan cry again like he did in the garden this morning,...Sean was not edge of crying,..in this short time he had a shared a very close felling with little angel.with each passing minutes he feared more...

They looked at all the way..but had no results... both decided to head back,to tell everyone about yuan being lost..and for help.

As they were about to turn back,..Sean steps paused hearing the giggle from one corner.... finding the voice familiar,he pulled shizux back again.. running to where voice came from.

A heavy weight from Sean's heart became lighter,seeing his baby .But yuan was not alone,.. another boy of same age was also present there...who was bulling yuan.

" Yuan is being bullied by that kid.." Sean mumbled,..he moved forward to give that kid a part of his angry mind,..but was stopped by shizux..who had already heard what Sean just mumbled.

" Our lan family is not easy to be bullied,look carefully who is bullying whom.."shizux words made Sean to think.. looking carefully it ..was yuan who was bulling him,by pinching the little boys cheeks continuously,who frowned and was tried of stopping him.

Yuan was enjoying it,while other had a pissed off expression.

" yuan..baby" Sean called out, moving forward..closer to them.

Hearing Sean voice,yuan looked back smiling widly..." mumma...look,baba is cute..."

" I ..am not cute.." the boy screamed..

" No..Babb is cute.." yuan said, pinching the already red cheeks again.

" I am not baba...I am jiang.."

" mumma baba is called jiang.." yuan told Sean, still not leaving the the redden cheeks.

Sean and shizux were shocked..like someone had thrown them from great height... seeing this side of yuan,...both glanced at eachother....

" Am I hallucinating.." Sean asked, leaning closer to shizux.

" No..it's real!!"

" Yuan is flirting with that boy over there.." Sean said pointing the other kid.

" Hey,it's not flirting..it's playing.." shizux protest maintaining the dignity of lan's.

" It's same...but didn't you all said,he is sensitive and don't talk with anyone..but why is he so comfortable with with stranger...more than that even, touching him.."

" How will I know??you tell !what you did to our yuan.after meeting you he changed,not only changed but...became shameless...it's all your influence,our innocent yuan... someone save him.." shizux cried,faking his tears... teasing the other guy......

" Done !!.." Sean said,.. frowning with his words...." then stop acting...."Sean went forward, pulling yuan to look at him.. caressing his head he spoked again softly...." Baby, let's go back...and let him go too..his parents must be searching him.."

" But,yuan like him.....he is cute..."

" Jiang!" strange voice from behind,was heard......

" Mom!" Jiang called out...the person whose voice was just heard ..." A.ha..jiang,how could you ran away like this.look how worried I was.."the person whom boy addressed as his mother said.. scolding him.

" ha..mom,you always scold me,..look he was also alone..but never got scolded.." jiang complained pointing at yuan.. comparing how they were treated differently.

The other person, finally turned his gazes towards Sean..in his panic state he didn't realized that they were not alone..." ha.. sorry,I didn't saw you..thanks for helping jiang...."

" No,it's fine.. actually I didn't do anything..it was my baby who found him.." Sean replied, paying yuan head...in reality no one found anyone.both were lost soul,who just got untangled on the way together.

" Oh, thanks baby..thanks for helping Jiang.."

" He didn't, helped me..he pinched my cheeks..and also called me cute..he is not good.."jiang,screamed throwing his hands in anger.. complaining.

" But you are .. cute....mumma look he is cute.." Sean said, pulling Sean's hand.. downward...and jiang frowned hearing him calling the same thing.

Sean and the other glanced at eachother,..and couldn't stop from laughing seeing there child play..

" Your child is also cute..and pretty too."

Talking for few more seconds,they had there farewell..taking there own ways......yuan was not happy parting with jiang,while the other was eager to run away from there.yuan had made his first.. friend today.

" Yuan,don't be sad.....give mumma a smile.." Sean said, kissing his cheeks.. comforting him..

" Don't worry yuan,come to me..uncle will bring him back.." shizux called him.. extending his hand to carry yuan..who gave him cold shoulder... hiding his face on Sean's nape.

Time skipped fast,..after ...with few more questions..talks... luckly till the time they had to go separate ways,yuan had already slept off.sean didn't had to lie once again for making yuan to go..home.
Thanking the lan family and sharing there greetings both family drove back to there place seperately...

Reaching lan mansion,wangji took sleeping yuan very carefully inside his room,which was actually the room beside his master bedroom.laying yuan over the bed covering him properly with the quilt..he peeked yuan's forehead.

Sitting beside yuan,he recalled all the moment that he had experienced today...it was very pleasant and tiresome day..lots of miracles happened.. firstly yuan being so close with Sean,who was complete stranger to him...even he finds it hard, handling yuan...he was able to see ..the different side,of his little angel that he was unaware of....he had to give more time and strength taking care of yuan.

Remembering how his yuan smiled with ...Sean wuxie, brought a smile on his face to..which just seemed like a little curve of his lips..

Getting up from the place,and taking a last glance at his son.. wangji headed out of the room.. closing the door behind....

Wangji was about to enter to enter his room,when he was blocked at the door .....

" wangji wait..we need to talk something with you.." grandma said, blocking him...mr.lan was also present there..and how can we shizux stay behind... although he was needed,but he still joined.

" Oh..it's to late today,..let's talk tomorrow morning.." wangji denied,...and turned back to leave ...mr.lan, stopped the him from turning the door knob... pausing him.they knew it is very difficult to get wangji free in morning..since he so engaged with in work,and about night...they can't,since he always stay inside his room,off course doing work...and no one ever enters his room without permission...

Wangji signed giving up,he is tired..and can't think of arguing with them." Ok,fine let's head to discussion room"

" No not there..,come to my room.."grandma said,deninying wangji.....to head to her room instead,since discussion room will caught extra attention.

there are lots of rules followed in there family.from out they seems happy together,but in reality this family is scattered....each having there own goal..own purpose.being rich doesn't always brings happiness,it also brings..lot of struggle.. conspiracy..and secret s...lan family is a filled with secret s..and dangers..not only from outside but inside too.
