CHAPTER 27 - PART 1(a)

At Tianjin

The clock has been striking at 3:00 am in the early morning in the city of Tianjin and the city is yet to wake up for a new day so the city has fallen into a peaceful silence which is rarely seen in the city during daytime and amidst this silence of the city is situated the Tianjin studio which is one of the most famous studios of the country and in the premises of this studio few benches are arranged as a shooting of a new show is taking place as all the actors have settled at the table in the backyard of the Tianjin studio as the area is falling into a harmonious environment as the host is asking questions to the actor and actresses present in the shoot as it is a promotional shoot for their new film as the Mike Coordinator, Mr. Chen of the shoot after asking some basic question has now turned toward one of the main leads of the film as she spoke, "Wang Laoshi!" And Yibo who has been busy talking with his co-star when heard his name being called immediately stopped talking as he looked at the person in front of him with a smile as he spoke, "yes Mr. Chen!"

Mr. Chen who is the mike coordinator of the show when got the attention of the said person with a smile spoke, "Wang Laoshi, do you have any new thing which you want to tell to your fan about yourself?" And Yibo on hearing this with a smile spoke, "nothing new, Mr. Chen, same schedules and same life!" And everyone on hearing this let a smile as one of the people at the table spoke, "Lao Wang, then you should do something new so that we have a new talk about you!" Making everyone at the table laugh as Yibo spoke, "Sure Shen, you will get something new soon!"

Mr. Chen on hearing this laughed as he spoke, "then I feel we are going to hear something new from Wang Laoshi soon!" And Yibo on hearing this smiled as he spoke, "yeah!" And the mc on hearing this turned toward the main actress of the movie as he spoke, "so Miss Chen or may I say Mrs. Ren first of all congratulation on your wedding to Mr. Ren!" As he with a pause spoke, "let us raise a toast for Mr. And Mrs. Ren!" And everyone present at the table on hearing this immediately raised their glasses as they in a unified voice spoke, "Cheers to Mr. And Mrs. Ren!" As they drank their wine and the actress on seeing this with a smile spoke, "thank you, everyone!" Making everyone smile.

The mike coordinator on hearing this smiled as he spoke, "it's our pleasure, Mrs. Ren!" As he with a pause spoke, "so Mrs. Ren if you don't mind can I ask you one question which your fans want to ask from you!" And the said actress on hearing the question with a smile spoke, "sure Mr. Chen!" And the MC on taking this as a cue spoke, "so Mrs. Ren we know that you never believed in arrange marriage but you did arrange marriage so how is your married life going?" And as the question is asked everyone turns their attention toward the said person.

The actress when heard the question let a smile as she spoke, "it is going good than I expected!" And the mc when heard it with a smile spoke, "that's great Mrs. Ren!" As he with a pause continued, "so on your experience, "what is the secret to a successful marriage?"

The actress on hearing this with a smile spoke, "friendship is one of the very basic foundations for a successful marriage!" As she with a pause spoke, "I have always run away from marriage and never even thought about marrying someone but past few days of being married I have realized that it's a very blissful experience if you start understanding your partner and knowing them!" And with this turned toward the elder most person present at the table as she spoke, "Right Yixing Dage!" And the said person who has been listening to the talks on the table when heard the young actress with a smile spoke, "yes, dear!"

Mr. Chen who has been listening to the talks of the two people when sensed they both has stopped with a smile spoke, "Yixing dage!" And the person in question immediately spoke, "yes, Chen!" And the mc on getting the attention of the elder spoke, "Dage, you are the oldest among all of us, and you have seen more than anyone of us has, and recently we are seeing that the rate of divorce is rising in the country, so dage, what is your advice for the youngsters for making big things like marriage work?"

Yixing dage who has been sitting at the other end of the table when heard Mr. Chen with a smile spoke, "I have been married for approximately 30 years, and trust me my married life has not always been blissful or what the youngster these days say!" As he stopped in the middle as he started remembering the word which he wants to say and after a few minutes spoke, "Happening yes that it is, believe me, it's not even that happening but it has been peaceful one consisting of up and down where we both have enjoyed the life and fought with each other!" As he with a pause continued, "and we still fight!" And everyone on hearing this let a laugh as Yixing dage continued, "but we both have been truthful to each other, understood each other, and have cared for each other and before husbands, we both are friends. It doesn't matter whether the marriage is arranged or love, all that matter is we need to make it work, and start it by knowing your partner, being his or her friend, talking to them, knowing them, caring for them, sharing their worries and at the end if he or she does something for you try to appreciate it or do something like that only for them and believe me it will make your relationship flourish!" And everyone when sensed that the elder has stopped let an applause as on hearing the elder they have realized that the elder is very right, especially the one in the center of the table who has been listening to the elder with his utmost concentration and hearing the elder he realized something which he has not been doing in his marriage that was he has stayed with the older for more than a month and have never tried to know him and the older has known everything about him.

Mr. Chen on sensing that everyone has settled spoke, "thanks Yixing Dage for your advice!" As he with a pause spoke, "hope your words will help the youngster of our country and everyone present in this area will apply your wisdom in their lives and make their future relationships better!" And everyone on hearing this just nodded their heads and with this, the table again fell into casual talks as well as games and everyone started enjoying themselves.

The shoot ended at 6:00 am and everyone after bowing to each other in respect left the shooting area and Yibo on seeing that his co stars has left toward the place where his team has been waiting for him with his friend as well as manager, Cheng, who has been busy with his phone and Yibo who has entered the place when saw the smile on his friend's face cleared his throat to gain his attention and after seeing the said person is looking at him spoke, "Cheng my phone!"

Cheng who has been bust chatting with Kuan when heard the throat-clearing voice immediate looked up and on seeing Yibo he smiled and when heard the young actor with a smile took out the younger's phone as he handed the phone to the younger and the younger on taking the phone with a smile spoke, "thanks, Cheng!" And Cheng on hearing this with a smile spoke, "your welcome Bo di!"

Yibo who has left his phone with Cheng as he didn't want any disturbance in the shoot on taking the phone back from Cheng immediately opened the phone to only see ten new messages from his old man making the younger smile as seeing that someone worry about him even when they will not get any reply from him made him feel a warmth in his heart and Yibo was about to open the text from his old man when suddenly another notification caught his sight which made him a little bit startled as he was not expecting to see it and Cheng who has been standing beside Yibo when saw the expression on the young actor's face was alerted so he spoke, "Bo, what happened!" And Yibo on hearing his friend with a frown spoke, "there are five missed calls from Xu Ma!"

Cheng on hearing this with a smile spoke, "maybe she wants to know what you have for breakfast after returning back!" As it has been a practice that the nanny follows whenever the boy is out of the city and has to return during meal times, she always calls him beforehand to know what the actor wants to eat so the meal is ready before the young actor arrives and the latter have not to wait for the meal once he arrives, so he just thought that it might be the reason for the elder lady calling Yibo.

Yibo on hearing this frowned as he knows that if he doesn't pick up the call once the leader lady doesn't call him as it is their mutual understanding that if the younger doesn't pick up the call then he is busy with the shoot and seeing there are five missed calls from Xu Ma made the young actor worried so he spoke, "Cheng, you wait here, I will call her!" And before Cheng could answer Yibo left the place to make a call back to the Xiao Mansion.

Yibo after leaving the place reached to a secluded area settled on a bench beside him as he dialed the number back to only wait for someone to answer the call.

The call after three dials was answered by the butter Han as he spoke, "Good morning, Little master!" And Yibo on hearing the Butler with a smile spoke, "morning uncle Han!" As he with a pause continued, "where is Xu Ma?" And the butler on hearing this spoke, "Sir, Xu Ma is in the kitchen!" As he with a pause spoke, "did you want us to do something for you?" As he knows that their little master in past one month has grown attached to Xu Ma and whenever he needs something to be done in the mansion he always asks Xu Ma to do it.

Yibo on hearing this spoke, "No, Uncle Han!" As he with a pause spoke, "there were five missed calls from her, so I want to know if everything is all right!" And the butler on hearing this stopped as he doesn't know what to tell his little master and Yibo on hearing no response from the butler knows that something about this is either related to him but mostly due to Zhan as Mr. Han only stops speaking when it is related to their master sean and as the thought clicked his mind he felt an uneasiness in his heart so he immediately in a stern voice spoke, "Mr. Han tell me!" As he knows that if he wants the butler to tell him everything then he needs to be strict.

Butler Han on heading his young master's voice knows that he can't hide anything from him now so he after releasing a deep sigh spoke, "little master, she called for Master Xiao!" And Yibo on hearing this frowned as he spoke, "and why so?" As he is not able to understand why the elder called him for Master Xiao.

Butler Han on hearing this with a sigh spoke, "little master, Mr. Xiao has skipped his three meals in a row from yesterday, and when today he left early in the morning without having his breakfast so Xu Ma was worried so she thought that you might persuade young master to have his meals properly!" Informed the butler as he knows that the elder lady has been worried for his master and seeing that the older is again going to leave without having meals she tried to call Yibo as she knows that even one word from the younger can make zhan do things which no one can make him do.

Yibo when heard the butler frowned as he spoke, "and why did Mr. Sean skipped his meals?" And the butler on hearing this spoke, "little master, Master Xiao is busy with his company works!"

Yibo on hearing this frowned as he spoke, "And which work is more important for him that he is ignoring his health?" As he is not able to understand which work is more important that he is even skipping his meals and the butler on hearing this spoke, "no idea sir!" Making Yibo release a sigh as he spoke, "Uncle Han, ask Xu Ma to prepare the breakfast for two, I will see what to do!" And the butler on hearing this smiled as he knows that if their little master said something their young master will not deny so on hearing that their little master will take care of their Young master's meal made him smile as he spoke, "thank you, little master!" And Yibo on hearing this with a smile spoke, "you don't need to thank me uncle han for taking care of my husband!" And the butler on hearing his little master smiled as he spoke, "so master Bo what would you like to have for breakfast!" And Yibo, when heard the question with a smile, replied, "pancakes and sandwiches!" Making Mr. Han spoke, "it will be ready till you reach here master Bo!" And Yibo on hearing this let a laugh as he spoke, "okay Mr. Han!" As he with a pause spoke, "see you soon!" And with this ended the call to only return back to the place where his team has been standing.

Cheng on seeing that the young actor have arrived spoke, "is everything fine Yibo?" As seeing the young actor leaving the place just to call back made him worried and Yibo on hearing his friend spoke, "yes it is!" As he with a pause spoke, "shall we, move?" And Cheng on hearing this nodded his head as the team left the place to only move toward the place where the car of the young actor has been standing and reaching their lele runs to open the door for the young actor as Yibo slides in the car followed by Cheng and after making sure that the young actor is settled he spoke, "Yibo where?" And Yibo on hearing this spike, "To Xiao mansion!" And Cheng on hearing this nodded his head and with this, the car left the area followed by two security cars and as soon as the car hits the roads of the city Yibo looked at his watch and seeing it was 6:30 am he knew that it will take him approximately one and a half hour to reach home so he just decided to utilize this time for sleep so he turned toward the other side as he closed his eyes to only drift to a peaceful sleep he deserves.

At XIAO MANSION

The car which has been traveling from Tianjin to Beijing finally stopped in front of Xiao Mansion exactly after one and a half hours and as soon as the car stopped Cheng who has been busy with his work when sensed the car jas stopped immediately turned around toward Yibo and the scene he saw made him smile widely as he saw the boy sleeping like a child and seeing the scene made him smile as he took out his phone to click a photo of the sleeping lion for someone and after clicking it he send away to the said man as he wrote,

"Your baby lion is tired...

Mr. Sean Xiao Zhan!"

Cheng after sending the text turned toward the boy who is sleeping peacefully as he tapped on his shoulder to make the boy who is sleeping peacefully wake up so he gently tapped on his shoulder but the boy who is sleeping peacefully when felt a tap on his shoulder immediately squirmed in his sleep as he turned to the other side and Cheng on seeing this just let a sigh as he knows that it will be very difficult to wake up Yibo now because he knows that it is very difficult to wake up a sleepy Yibo, so after releasing a deep sigh he again tapped Yibo on his shoulder and again the actor dodged it as he let a whine and spoke, "old man!" and Cheng on hearing this was amused as he was not expecting this so he again tapped on the shoulder of the young actor as he spoke, "Wake up Bo!" And Yibo this time not only dozed his hand but also slapped cheng as he in his sleep mumbled, "let me sleep, old man!" Making Cheng shocked as he was not expecting something like this.

Cheng on seeing that the younger is not waking up like this immediately spoke, "Hey, Zhan what are you doing here?" And Yibo who has been sleeping peacefully when heard the voice immediately opened his eyes as he spoke, "where is he?" As he started looking here and there to check where the said person is and Cheng on seeing the action of the actor was startled as he was not expecting this but seeing the boy searching for the said person made Cheng smile as he never thought that the single mention of the said person can make Yibo awake even from his sleep.

Yibo who has woken up from his slumber after hearing the words of his manager on not finding the said person frowned as he looked at Cheng and spoke, "where is the old man?" And Cheng who has been looking at Yibo when heard him with a teasing smile spoke, "in your dreams, Yibo!" And Yibo on hearing this frowned as he was not able to understand his friend's words directed toward him but when saw the teasing smile on his friend's face realized that he had been teased which made Yibo's brows furrow as he spoke, "shut up Cheng!" And with this open the car door as he hurriedly left the car leaving Cheng all laughing.

Yibo after leaving the car entered the mansion to be only greeted by Mr. Han who when saw the young actor entering the mansion greeted the young actor as he spoke, "good morning bo!" And Yibo who has entered the mansion when heard the butler smiled as he spoke, "good morning uncle han!" As he with a pause spoke, "where is Xu Ma?" And the butler on hearing this spoke, "she is in the kitchen bo!" And Yibo one hearing this just nodded his head as he left the area to only move toward the kitchen.

The young actor after entering the kitchen saw the elder lady working near the cabinets immediately moved toward her to only keep his hands on the said person's eyes as he spoke, "Guess who?"

The elder lady who has been working diligently when felt someone's hand on her eyes was started but when heard the voice relax immediately as she spoke, "the star of our master's life!" And Yibo on hearing this felt a blush creeping on his face as he removed his hand from the nanny's eyes.

Xu Ma on seeing that the actor has removed his hand from her eyes turned around and on seeing the young actor with a smile spoke, "Bo di you back!" And Yibo who has become a blushing mess on hearing the nanny's words smiled as he spoke, "yes!" And Yibo on hearing this with a smile spoke, "yes!" As he looked at the dishes in the older lady's hand and spoke, "is the breakfast ready, Xu Ma!"

Xu Ma on hearing this with a smile spoke, "yes bo!" As she with a pause continued, "should I arrange the breakfast for you, Bo Di!" As seeing that the actor has come back after two days so it's her responsibility to feed her little master.

Yibo on hearing this with a smile spoke, "no xu ma!" And Xu Ma on hearing this with a frown spoke, "but why bo?" As she was not able to understand why her little master don't want to have breakfast.

Yibo on seeing the frown on Xu Ma's face spoke, "because I want you to pack it, Xu Ma!" Making Xu Ma confused as she is not able to understand why the younger have put forward such a request and Yibo on sensing the confusion of the elder with a smile spoke, "I am going to meet old man so we both will have breakfast together!"

XuMa when heard the young actor understood what the younger wants to imply so she with a smile spoke, "sure bo di!" As she started packing the breakfast for the two as Yibo settled on the chair near the cabinet and started watching the elder doing her work and it was after five minutes she was done with packing the breakfast and after doing so she turned toward Yibo who has settled near the table and spoke, "Young master, the breakfast is packed!"

Yibo who has settled near the cabinet when heard Xu Ma with a smile spoke, "thanks Xu ma!" As he took the packed boxes and with this was about to turn when he heard Xu Ma which made her stop in his steps.

Xu Ma when saw the action of the young actor felt warmth in her heart as seeing someone taking care of her young master who takes care of everyone's needs made her smile as she spoke, "thank you master bo for taking care of master zhan!" And Yibo when heard ot stopped in his steps as he turned toward the elder lady as he spoke, "Xu ma you don't need to thank me!" As seeing the elder lady thanking him for something he should do made him feel a little bit startled so she decided to make the elder lady stop in her actions.

Xu Ma on hearing this with a smile spoke, "no master, you don't know master Xiao is always like this, he never takes care of himself and no one is there to talk care of him when he works because everyone in afraid of him but today seeing that someone is there to take care of our master we are happy!" And Yibo on hearing this felt a pang in his heart so he spoke,

"XU MA, MAYBE PREVIOUSLY ZHAN GE DIDNT HAVE ANYONE TO TAKE CARE OF HIMSELF, BUT FROM TODAY I PROMISE I WILL TAKE CARE OF HIM!"

And with this grabbed the tiffin as he left the kitchen leaving a smiling XU MA...
