Ting Hao went inside Bai Cao's room, he saw that she was not there. Then Ting Hao came out of the room and checked whether she is in Ting Yi or Xiao Ying's room, but he did not find her. Then he hurriedly climbed down the stairs. As he came down he saw Bai Cao sitting on the chair. He was walking towards her, then suddenly he saw Bingwen coming near Bai Cao. Bingwen gave Bai Cao a cup of coffee, they were laughing and talking. Ting Hao was really jealous. Then suddenly, between in conversation, Bingwen puts his hand on Bai Cao's hand without even realising. Seeing that, Ting Hao rushed towards them and removes Bingwen's hand from Bai Cao's hand, and holds Bai Cao's hand. At that time, everyone came down.

Ting Hao - Let's go, Bai Cao.

Bai Cao - Can't we just wait for a minute?

Ting Hao - Why?

Bai Cao - I will make coffee for you guys.

Ting Hao - I don't want to drink coffee. Does anyone want to?

Then Bai Cao turned her face towards everyone, on the other side, Ting hao was moving his head left and right (indicating to say no).

Everyone - Nope.

Ting Hao - See, I told you, no one needs coffee right now.

Bai Cao - Okay, but you still have to wait.

Ting Hao - Why?

Bai Cao - Because I haven't finished drinking my coffee.

Ting Hao - It's okay, throw it.

Bai Cao - No, I can't do that, it would be an insult to food.

Ting Hao - Right. It's okay, I can do it.

Then Ting Hao took the cup from Bai Cao's hand, and he drank the whole coffee in one gulp.

Bai Cao(worried) - Senior Ting Hao!

Ting Hao's mouth was burning badly as he drank hot coffee. Bai Cao hurryed to the kitchen and brought cold water for Ting Hao to drink.

Bai Cao - Senior Ting Hao, are you okay?

Ting Hao - Kind of.

Bai Cao - Drink this cold water.

Then Ting Hao drank a glass of cold water.

Bai Cao - Is it still burning a lot?

Ting Hao - It is much better.

Ting Yi - Older Brother, are you mad? Why did you do this?

Ting Hao - Because I wanted to do an experiment. Actually, I wanted to see whether that hot coffee will burn my mouth because you know that I am superhuman.

Ting Yi - Idiot!

Ting Hao - Okay, can we go now?

Bai Cao - Yeah.

Ting Hao - Bingwen, you are not coming with us.

Bingwen - Okay, then I will stay at home.

Ting Hao - No, you are not staying at my home.

Bingwen - Then where will I go?

Ting Hao - You are going back to the US. I have arranged a cab and I have booked a flight ticket for you.

Bingwen - But why should I go there.

Ting Hao - Because there is a problem in your company.

Bingwen - What! Why is it? How did you get to know about this?

Ting Hao - I got to know this when we were having our lunch. You went somewhere and you left your phone on the table, at that time you got a call from your manager maybe. You were not there, that is why I picked up the call. Your manager said that there's a problem and asked me to inform you then he hangs up the call. He did not tell me the reason.

Bingwen - Okay, I will be going then.

Ting Hao - Your cab is here and I have sent you all the fight details.

Bingwen - Okay. Thank you!

Then Bingwen sat in the cab and went towards the airport.

Ting Hao - I think we should leave too.

Guang Ya - I can't come. I need to go home. I have to check on my father.

Bai Cao - Okay, then I will come too.

Guang Ya - No need, Bai Cao. You took care of my father for all these years, now let me take care of him.

Bai Cao - Okay.

Then Guang Ya went to her father's house and everyone else sat in the car and went towards Xiao Ying's home.

After some time, they reached Xiao Ying's home. Xiao Ying and Yi Feng still don't know why they are actually here. Then they went near the door and ranged the doorbell, and Xiao Ying's mother opened the door.

Xiao Ying - Hello, Ma!

Xiao Ying's mother(happily) - Xiao Ying.

Then Xiao Ying went ner her mother to hug her, but as Xiao Ying's mother sees Bai Cao, she leaves Xiao Ying and went to Bai Cao and hugged her.

Xiao Ying's mother - Bai Cao, how are you?

Bai Cao - I am fine.

Xiao Ying's mother - And how's your leg.

Bai Cao - It is okay, now.

Xiao Ying - Ma, did you forgot that I am here too?

Xiao Ying's mother - Xiao Ying, I hugged you first, didn't I?

Xiao Ying - Bai Cao, you stole my mom.

Xiao Ying's mother - Aww, you are jealous of Bai Cao? Come.

Then she hugged Bai Cao from one side and  Xiao Ying from another.

Xiao Ying - Remember, I have two daughters, who always makes me proud. And I love both of them equally.

Seeing them, everyone was happy, but deep inside, Ting Yi was sad, she was missing her mother, and Ting Hao noticed it. Then he went near her and hugged her from the side.

Ting Yi(in her mind) - Even if I  don't have a father, even if I don't have my mom by my side, but I always have my brother by my side. A person who is just not my brother, he is my father and mother too.

Xiao Ying's mother - Okay, everyone come inside.

Then they were about to go inside but suddenly Yi Feng stopped them.

Yi Feng - Aunty!

Xiao Ying's mother - Yes, Yi Feng.

Yi Feng - Is uncle at home?

Xiao Ying's mother - No. Don't worry, he is not going to come home today.

Xiao Ying - Why? Did he again go on a business trip?

Xiao Ying's mother - Yeah.

Xiao Ying - Okay.

Then they all went inside and sat down.

Xiao Ying's mother - Why are you all here all of a sudden?

Ting Hao - Actually, we need your permission.

Xiao Ying's mother - Permission! For what?

Bai Cao - We will tell you later. Tell me, did you had your dinner?

Xiao Ying's mother - Not yet.

Bai Cao - Did you prepared it yet?

Xiao Ying's mother - No. Why are you asking me this?

Bai Cao - Because I want to cook today.

Xiao Ying's mother - Really?

Bai Cao - Yeah. Let's go, Xiao Ying.

Ting Yi - I am coming too.

Lin Li - Me too.

Xiao Ying's mother - Wait a minute. I haven't seen you both ever(pointing at Lin Li and Gu Wei Yi).

Then Yi Feng stood up.

Yi Feng - Aunty, she is Lin Li, my sister.

Then Lin Li bowed.

Lin Li - Hello!

Xiao Ying's mother - Your sister? But I didn't know that you had a sister.

Xiao Ying - We also came to know about this a few days back.

Xiao Ying's mother - What!

Bai Cao - Long story, Aunty. I will tell you later.

Xiao Ying's mother - And what about him?

Yi Feng - He... he is no one, just ignore him.

Lin Li - How is he no one, older brother? I will tell you, aunty. He is Gu Wei Yi, my would-be husband.

Yi Feng - Oh hello! I haven't said yes.

Lin Li - But I know you will say yes.

Xiao Ying's mother - Okay.

Bai Cao - Okay, then let's go.

Then all the girls went to the kitchen and started preparing the dinner. Xiao Ying's mother was sitting with the boys and was talking to them.

After half an hour, Xiao Ying came out.

Xiao Ying - Everyone, the dinner is ready now, you guys can sit on the dining table's chair.

And everyone to sit on the dining table's chair, then the girls started to bring the food and kept them on the table, and they also sat on the chairs.

Xiao Ying's mother - Start eating.

Then everyone started eating.

Xiao Ying's mother - Girls, the food is delicious.

All the girls - Thank you!

After a while, they finished eating dinner and the boys sat on the sofa and the girls sat down.

Xiao Ying's mother - Okay, now tell, me what permission do you guys need.

Ting Hao(nervously) - Actually... Bai Cao will tell you.

Bai Cao - Me! Okay, aunty, Ting Yi wants to say something.

Ting Yi - It's not me..., it's Chang An. Chang An wants to ask you something.

Chang An - Yeah, actually I wanted to ask you, was the food delicious?

Xiao Ying's mother smiled.

Xiao Ying's mother - Yeah it was.

Chang An - Yeah.

Then Chang An turned his face towards Ting Hao.

Chang An - Ting Hao, you want to say something? Aunty, he wants to say something to you.

Ting Hao - What! It's on me again? Okay.

Xiao Ying - Will you guys come to the point.

Then Ting Hao closes his eyes tight.

Ting Hao - Aunty, we want to shift together. We will be living in the same house but different rooms. Do we have your permission?

Xiao Ying and Yi Feng were shocked but on the other side, everyone else was happy.

Ting Hao - Finally, I said it.

Xiao Ying's mother - Xiao Ying, Yi Feng, you both look really shocked. I think you both should go out on the lawn for while.

Xiao Ying - Yeah.

Then Xiao Ying and Yi Feng went out on the lawn.

Xiao Ying's mother(in rude tune) - Is it for bringing Xiao Ying and Yi Feng together?

Everyone nodded.

Xiao Ying's mother - Lin Li, do you have any problem?

Lin Li - No. But trust me, aunty, my brother is a really nice person. He is the only one who raised me. My mother died when I was really small and my father was always busy. If he can love his sister so much, then just think how much will he love the love of his life. Please accept them and please give us permission to stay together.

Then suddenly Xiao Ying's mother started laughing.

Bai Cao - Aunty, what is this! I asked you to act in front of them as if you are not allowing us to stay together.

Everyone - What!

Bai Cao - Oh no!

Ting Hao - What are you talking about, Bai Cao?

Xiao Ying's mother - I will tell you. Actually, when you guys came all at once, Bai Cao took me with her and told me everything. I was denying it at first then she made me say yes. Then she asked me to act in front of you.

Ting Hao - Really, Bai Cao?

Then Bai Cao nodded. Then suddenly Ting Yi threw a pillow on Bai Cao.

Ting Yi - Why didn't you tell us before?

Bai Cao - Because I wanted to surprise you all.

Then suddenly Lin Li also hits Bai Cao with a pillow.

Lin Li -  You think it is a surprise. It is called a prank.

Bai Cao - Logically saying, then yes but my intentions were to surprise you all.

Ting Yi - I don't think so.

Bai Cao - Trust me.

Then Lin Li and Ting Yi started hitting with a pillow.

Bai Cao - Ouch, guys, it's hurting.

But no one stopped. Then suddenly Bai Cao shouted.

Bai Cao - Aaa...

Ting Hao(worried) - Bai Cao, what happened?

Bai Cao - Someone stepped on my injured foot.

Everyone - What!

Then Ting Hao rushed towards Bai Cao and started looking if her foot was bleeding. Then he picked her up and made her sit on the sofa.

Ting Hao - Where is it paining?

And Bai Cao again starts laughing.

Ting Hao - Don't tell me it was a jock.

Bai Cao - No it was not a jock, but it was the only way to make the stop.

Ting Hao was shocked so he sat on the floor. Then Ting Yi again threw a pillow but this time, Bai Cao caught it.

Ting Yi - Why do you always do this?

Bai Cao - Sorry.

Then suddenly Xiao Ying and Yi Feng came in and they were shocked to see them playing.

Xiao Ying - What is going on here?

Bai Cao - Xiao Ying, aunty gave us permission to live together.

Xiao Ying & Yi Feng - What!

Ting Hao - Yeah. We will be staying in the palace.

Xiao Ying - Really?

Xiao Ying's mother - Yeah, Xiao Ying. And till you guys are going to stay together, you will always listen to Bai Cao. Okay?

Xiao Ying - Okay.

Xiao Ying's mother - So, when are you all going to shift together?

Ting Hao - Today.

Xiao Ying's mother - Okay. Bai Cao, Xiao Ying, go pack your things up.

Bai Cao - Okay. Let's go, Xiao Ying.

Then Xiao Ying and Bai Cao went to their room.  Xiao Ying and Yi Feng were still not out of the shock.

In the room-

Xiao Ying - Bai Cao, how did Senior Ting Hao convince mom?

Bai Cao - Xiao Ying, he the Fang Ting Hao, he knows how to convince people.

Xiao Ying - Yeah, you are right, but why are you so happy?

Bai Cao - I am happy because I love the palace and I wanted to stay there forever.

Xiao Ying - Yeah, the palace is indeed amazing.

After some time, they finished packing their stuff, and they came out.

Ting Hao - You both are done packing your stuff?

Bai Cao - Yeah.

Ting Hao - The let's go.

Then they all came out and sat in the car and came back to the palace.

Xiao Ying - Okay, I am going to sleep, I am really sleepy.

Bai Cao - Then when are you to unpack your stuff?

Xiao Ying - I will do it tomorrow.

Chang An - Xiao Ying, Yi Feng, remember that you have to come for practice.

Xiao Ying & Yi Feng - Okay.

Then everyone went to their rooms to sleep.
