"Hahaha....," Yang Mi's laughter filled the room.

"I had to leave his room after trying to persuade him I wasn't interested in an unripe fruit," Yang Zi concluded, as she stares at Chen with an accusing gaze.

​​

"Hahaha.... mum, he acts that way with me too. I am not surprised he did that to you too," Yang Mi said, laughing uncontrollably. She could recall the day they ran around the Yang's Mansion. After the rough play, sweat covered their body. She had suggested for Chen to take off his shirt, only for him to act so shy in front of her.

"Chen, do you perhaps dislike women?" Yifeng blurted out bluntly. Realising the hidden meaning in his brother's sentence, Chen spat out the water in his mouth. His eyes widened in shock.

"What are you trying to say, big bro? I like ladies. I love Mi Er and sister Zi Er so I don't dislike ladies," Chen denied vehemently.

"You are sure?" Yifeng asked, throwing him a suspicious glance.

"He is telling the truth, brother Feng. He even has a crush on the most beautiful girl in his class," Yang Mi revealed Chen's secret. She hit her mouth when she realised what she just said.

"You have a crush on someone?" Yang Zi, who was quiet all this while, asked in surprise.

"Chen, what did I tell you about relationship and girls?" Yifeng asked the blushing Chen.

"You said I shouldn't befriend or fall in love with any girl because I am too young for it. This is the reason I never confess my feelings to her so you don't have to worry," Chen said, with a frown.

"Your brother is right. If you get into a relationship now, it's inevitable that you will get hurt and heartbreak will affect your studies tremendously," Yang Zi added.

"I know brother Feng is looking after my wellbeing, that is why I didn't disobey his order," Chen said, staring at his brother's face.

"Mum, is it bad to like someone at our age?" Yang Mi asked curiously. Her eyes glittered in anticipation as she waited for Yang Mi's reply.

"Yes, your principal focus should be on your school, not relationship, Ok? I will spank you severely, if I dare find out you have a crush on someone," Yang Zi said, trying to instil fear into Mi Er.

"Ok, I won't," Yang Mi replied quickly.

"That is my girl," Yang Zi beamed at Mi Er as she spoke. Everyone stopped talking for two minutes.

"I can see everyone isn't eating anymore, so lets go. Feng and I will first drop Mi Er at her school and afterwards drop Chen in school. I hope that arrangement is good with you, Chen?" Yang Zi asked, as they all headed to the sitting room.

"It's perfect with me," Chen replied as he stood up. Yang Mi and the rest also stood up and headed outside.

Yang Mi could not stop beaming, knowing that Yifeng and Yang Zi were the ones driving them to school.

In the middle of their journey, Yang Mi, who has been playing and giggling in low tones with Chen in the backseat, spoke up loudly.

"This is the first time mum and brother Feng are taking us to school together. I can't help but feel like we are one happy and complete family. One that I have always dreamed of," Yang Mi said, her gaze on Yang Zi and Yifeng's back.

"I also feel the same way too," Chen supported. After his grandma died of a heart disease a year following his parent's death. He had always missed having a mother figure. They had many Nannies in the Mansion but they could never fill the space his mum and grandma left behind. Now that Yang Zi came into their lives, he has always felt like his mum had come back to life.

"Don't worry, we will be a happy and complete family soon. We will all live together as a family that we are. I assure you this," Yifeng said, smiling at them through the rear mirror.

Yang Zi stared at both kids through the rear mirror. She could not help but feel terrible when she learned how much both kids longed to have a complete family. Mi Er never showed that she missed having her father around, that is why she never knew how much she craves for having one.

One is a girl who lost her father before she saw the light of this world, and another is a boy who lost both parents when he was still very tender. I can't help but feel like they look like my younger self. Although I have never given birth to a child before, I will try my best to be an excellent mother to Chen. I will love him just as much as I love Mi Er.

Yang Zi thought, forcing a smile on when she realised that the kids were staring at her.

A few minutes later, Yifeng parked the car in front of Mi Er's school. Yang Zi went down from the car and handed over the lunchbox she prepared for her. She embraced her tightly afterwards. She only entered the car after seeing Mi Er enter the gate of her school.

The distance from Yang Mi's school to Chen's school was a thirty minutes' ride. Chen, who just got out of the car and walked few distances towards the entrance of the school building, halted when Yang Zi called after him.

"Chen, I prepared this for you. I don't know whether you are going to like it," Yang Zi, who walked to where Chen was standing said, passing the lunchbox in her hands to Chen. Seeing the lunchbox in her hand Li Chen just stare at her unable to utter a word.

"If you don't like it, you can throw it away. You don't have to worry about hurting my feelings," Yang Zi said, assuming that Chen was unhappy with the lunchbox she prepared. Yifeng just quietly watched everything that happened from the car.

Yang Zi turned to throw an accusing gaze at Yifeng, when Chen did not still say a word. While still facing Yifeng, she felt someone suddenly embraced her. For a minute she was startled. She slowly turned around to see who it was. She was even more stunned when she realised that it was Chen.
