To say Zhan was scared would be an understatement he felt his heart literally stopped when he saw Yanli and Yibo staring at each other.

Zhan gulped but before he could say anything Yanli spoke, "Wang Yibo...I suppose."

Yibo nodded, "Yes Ms. Xiao nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too." Yanli spoke, "I had seen you at the funeral and I must say that you have grown up, you resemble your father."

Yibo nodded, "That's the greatest compliment anybody has given me, but I want to resemble him in every aspect not just in appearance."

Yanli nodded looking quote satisfied, "That's how it should you will be a great man if you can resemble even one percent of your father."

"And I wish to me like that...Ms. Xiao."

Yanli then looked at Zhan and glanced at the watch that he was wearing, "When did you buy this watch?"

Yibo spoke, "I bought this for him as a gift Ms. Xiao..."

Yanli glanced at the watch before saying, "A limited-edition diamond watch that only has ten copies in the world, You must really like Zhan to give him such a precious gift."

Yibo smiled, "Who doesn't like him Ms. Xiao and I bought gifts for all my friends...but Zhan and I are meeting after seven years so we have a lot to catch up on."

Yanli nodded, "I see...nut when did you come I didn't see you coming here when I was out."

Yibo looked at Zhan who wiped his forehead, Yibo smiled and answered, "I was here since the beginning but I was in the washroom..."

"I see." Yanli said, "Then I will take my bag and you two can talk." with that, she took her bag and walked out.

And once she was gone Zhan nearly collapsed on the sofa, and Yibo quietly sat beside him, "Your aunt is really tough."

"Thank god she didn't catch us," Zhan said and then his phone buzzed it was a message from Dean about the reservation.

This time Yibo paid attention to it and remembered the dinner talk as well, "This Dean Smith is it the same guy..."

Zhan nodded, "Yes he is the same guy from college."

Yibo suddenly became quiet as memories flashed in his head, Dean and he together had tormented Zhan a lot, but there was something Yibo knew and hadn't told anyone it was about the drugs.

Back then Yibo knew that Dean was planning to frame Zhan for Drugs but he didn't when or how he would do that, he thought that he might be able to save Zhan but the way Zhan was framed was not what he had expected.

Yibo suddenly felt chills run down his spine as he thought about the incident how will Zhan react if Yibo tell him that he knew that Dean was going to frame him for drugs and it was Yibo who gave him that idea.

Although Yibo backed off after he fell in love but he was the one who suggested Dean do that, and encourage him, so partly it was his fault as well.

Should he tell Zhan about this or not, but he is afraid that Zhan will leave him and he cannot afford that, he will lose his mind and might do something to himself or Zhan if that happens.

"Yibo?" Yibo was bought back to reality when Zhan hooked him, "What's wrong?"

Yibo licked his lips and sighed, all of it was seven years before Zhan will forgive him right? he wouldn't mind right.

But then again how much can Zhan take.

"Yibo is everything okay?" Zhan asked again but Yibo just smiled and grabbed Zhan's phone and opened it to see the message.

"Are you going? for the dinner?" 

Zhan nodded, "I have to, this is important for the deal."

"Zhan after how he treated you do you trust him?"

"No I don't but still I have to because my aunt will get really mad if I don't."

Yibo then smiled at him, "I see."

~~~

 At night Zhan got ready for dinner even if he has no desire to go he still went, and when he reached the restaurant then he saw Dean was already seated.

With a sigh, Zhan walked towards him, "Hello Mr. Smith."

Dean just gave him one of his disgusting smiles that made Zhan's insides churn but he still presented a polite facade, as Dean said, "I think we should drop the formality."

Zhan smiled, "We are here for business, for work and I don't believe that it's a good idea to drop the formality while we are at work."

Dean nodded, "What a pity but I wanted to talk something personal."

"I assume I am not the right person for that."

"Oh indeed you are the right person for that, now that you are divorced, do you have any plans to get into a relationship again?"

 "I don't understand how is my relationship status of any importance to this deal."

"On the contrary, it is...you see I have been in search of a partner and you are also single..."

Zhan moved a little on his seat and clenched his fist he wanted to cut off his hearing because he didn't want to hear what Dean was going to say because he knew, he had and the idea of what Dean was going to ay and he didn't want to hear that.

No way he was sure he would puke if Dean said what Zhan was thinking.

"I would like to have you as my partner, forget the past and move on with me" 

Zhan was fuming now but before he could say anything the chair beside him was pulled and a third person sat there, "Hello there Dean"

Dean's eyes widened as he looked at Yibo, "You..."

"Yeah me..." Yibo said with a smirk, "I didn't expect to see the two of you here like this...so I thought why not say a hi."

Zhan smiled brightly once he saw Yibo, "Yeah, yeah no problem..."

"I hope you weren't talking anything serious," Yibo said.

Dean gritted his teeth, "no..." but Zhan interrupted him.

"No, we weren't, right Mr. Smith." Dean looked at Zhan and slowly nodded.

While Yibo looked at Zhan, "You know your lover was really sad that you couldn't have dinner with them."

Zhan nodded, "Oh is that so, I will say sorry to them once I go home."

Dean spoke quickly, "Wait you have a lover?" 

Yibo said, "You didn't know? yes, he has a lover."

Dean asked, "Who is it? and since when?"

Zhan answered, "Well it's something I would like to keep private only my close friends know about it and without my lover's permission I cannot tell anything."

Yibo smirked, "I know about his lover."

Dean then looked at Yibo, "Who is it?"

"They are very handsome, smart, and intelligent, they are also healthy, wealthy, and fine and love him to the core like they can die for him, and even kill for him.

Today they were fuming at the person who prevented Zhan from having dinner with them and was ready to kill whoever it was. Damn, I have never seen such intense love, Zhan is really lucky. I wish I also have a lover like that."

Zhan suddenly looked at him with a smile, "What are you saying? you have a lover who is equally good as mine, in fact, I would say better than mine."

The two laughed while Dean was not liking this conversation, his plans were ruined and he felt extremely annoyed.

"Zhan?" Yibo asked, "Can you please bring my wallet I left it in my car."

Zhan took the car keys and silently he didn't mind leaving because with Dean he felt suffocated.

After he was gone Yibo dropped the facade and his smile was gone as he glared at Dean, " Using work for your selfish needs is a very low thing to do."

Dean also looked at him, " Coincidence huh?"

Yibo smirked, "Stay away from him."

"Or what."

"Or his lover will chop you into pieces."

Dean smirked, "You are his lover aren't you? he has no self-respect, does he? I mean getting together with you after what you did and not to mention getting together with a disabled man like you...

He should be lucky that I am offering to be with him."

"Sorry to burst your bubble but someone like you...is not worthy of him."

"And you are? dies he know about the drug plan that you gave me? even if you backed out so what, you were the one who started everything.

How to humiliate him and how to frame him you gave me the idea, imagine if I tell him this that you were ready to ruin his entire life just because of some petty hate you had."

Yibo galred atr him, "Do it...I dare you, do it, he will be back in a few seconds and I want you to tell him everything he might get mad at me but fine but you...you will not walk alive after doing that.

I will ruin you and I promise you that and imagine if I gave the task to Cheng what he will do...he never allows a person who tries to harm his loved ones live and you tried to harm his brother."

Dean gulped as he moved back the intensity of Yibo's could burn him, and he felt shivers run down his spine, as Yibo spoke, "I have wealth and power and I don't mind misusing my power and influence to get rid of a pest like you...Final this deal or else...say bye to your life."

Yibo then leaned back on his seat and smirked, "I don't want to see your face anymore so get lost."

Dean clenched his fist and glared at Yibo before he left quietly and Zhan came back a few minutes later, "Where did he go?"

"Doesn't matter..." Yibo said, "Let's have dinner."

Author's note: if you were Yibo what would you do? and if you were Zhan what would you do?

After writing this book I have realized that this genre is not my thing. I prefer writing supernatural, suspense, and revenge saga-type books, emotions really suck.

What do you guys think?
