YIBO POV

I walked back out of the closet, fixing thecollar of my shirt. I looked towards the bed where Zhan was still blissfully asleep. I smiled at the sight, and walked towards him. I slowly sat on the edge of the bed never looking away from him.

She's magnificent I thought to myself how blessed I 'am that he's in my life.

I slowly took in his beautiful features,relaxed in sleep. I gently removed some of his hair away from his face. His eyebrows slightly twitched and a quiet sigh of delight escaped him, I guessed he was dreaming.

My gaze moved to his flushed cheeks and lips then to the slow rise and fall of hischest.

She suddenly took a deep breath then a smile played on the corners of his lips. His thick lashes fluttered and he opened her eyes. His smile grew when his gaze settled on me.

"Morning." I said returning his smile; heshifted and sat up.

"Hi." He said lazily,

"Were you dreaming about me?" I asked kissing his forehead and he chuckled

"Isn't it obvious?"

"It is." I teased and he laughed thenstudied my appearance

"You're ready so soon?" he asked and Inodded. We were flying to Hong Kong today for Gio and Bin's wedding, which was this weekend.

He shook his head

"You're such a morning person." He said

"And you are not." I added quickly, he playfully pouted,

"No kidding."

"I love how you look in the morning though." I said,

"You look like a very beautiful cave man." I added and stifled a laugh when gasped in outrage.

"I resent that. Shut up and go make sure your kids are ready too, Mr. Wang Duck."

He said and chuckled at my expression.

"Are you ordering me around?" I asked and he stubbornly raised his chin

"Yeah, I 'am, you have a problem withthat?" he asked and I smiled deviously

"As a matter of fact..." I jumped onto the bed and began tickling him, he laughed and faintly screamed

"Yibo please!" he said in between giggles

"You know how I get when you get cheeky with me love." I said; he writhed trying to get away

"You called me cave man!"

"A beautiful one." I said making sure he'spinned

"And that's supposed to make a difference?" he said then he screamed when I tickled him more.

"That's not an apology." I said

"Okay! Okay, sorry oh great Alpha." He said and I chuckled at his childlikedefiance.

Taking advantage of my momentary distraction he pushed my arms away and wrapped his arms around my neck.

Pushing his weight upwards so he could roll me onto my back. He swiftly got on top of me with his forearm pinning my neck down. I chuckled because he perfectly executed a self-defense trick I taught him years ago.

"You still remember." I said and he smirked,

"How do you like me now Mr. Wang Duck?" he said, I flashed him a brilliant smile

"You're amazing" I said. He blushed pushing his hair behind his ear, his eyes lit up a little. I turned the tables on him and he was beneath me again. He groaned

"You forgot one thing love." I said,

"Don't lose focus." He mumbled along with me.

"But you know that wouldn't have worked if I wasn't so in love with you." He said and I chuckled.

"All is fair." I said.

Just then Zhen Xin and Fan Xing came running into the bedroom declaring a pillow fight, they both jumped onto the bedand began hitting Zhan and I.

"Uh kids..." he said trying to shieldhimself, I took a pillow and hit him with it.

He glared at me

"Oh you're so dead for that." He said attacking me too.

I started the Maybach while Zhan saidgoodbye to Mari and Zela

"Take as many pictures you can and email them to me okay?" Zela said and Zhan smiled

"Of course." He said.

"You kids be good while I'm gone." Mari said to the kids, Zhen Xin laughed

"Okay Aunt Mari." He said out the window.

Zhan got in the car and I drove away after waving at them. We arrived at the airport in no time,

"And the rehearsal dinner is tomorrow night."

Zhan reminded me,

"Where?" I asked. He cocked his head to the side

"I don't know and neither does the bride. What's Gio planning?" he asked, I smiled and shrugged

"Your guess is as good as mine." I said, he snorted.

"That's a nice way of saying 'I don't want to tell you love, because you might blab to Bin about it'." He said and I chuckled.

I turned into the airport's tarmac "Where are you going, shouldn't we be going to our terminal?" he asked

"You'll see." I said, and a few minutes laterI parked the car a yard away from the new jet, Zhan's mouth dropped as he looked at it.

"Tell me that's not yours." He murmured; I chuckled getting out of the car. I opened the door for him,

Zhen Xin and Fan Xing came out of the car

"Whoa, rock on Dad." Zhen Xin said looking at it too.

I picked Fan Xing up

"Know who that is?" I asked pointing to his name on the fuselage of the jet. He let out a small gasp

"Daddy that's me!" he squealed.

"Not digging on the name but the stripes are awesome." Zhen Xin said and Zhan chuckled slapping the back of his head

"Ouch" he said laughing and started walking towards it. I put Fan Xing down

"Is it mine Daddy?" he asked and I smiled at him

"Yes its yours little buddy." I said and he screamed running towards it's steps as well, receiving high fives from the air attendants.

Zhan laughed and I wrapped my arm around his waist

"Most fathers give their sons a Toy Car or pets, not jets." He said; I kissed his cheek

"Well I'm a special kind of Dad." I whispered.

He chuckled

"No argument there." He said then looked at the plane

"Its tenfold bigger than the last one."

He said incredulously.

I nodded

"It can carry about 19 to 28 passengers." I said and his eyebrows shot up

"And there's only four of us." He said, andthen I looked to my side towards Ai and Zed's Bentley parking next to our car.

"Actually there's the six of us." I said andhe looked at them then waved smiling.

"Grand, isn't it?" Ai said after huggingher, referring to the plane

"Careful with those!" she added to oneof the attendants bringing their luggage.

"You two knew about this?" Zhan asked

"Who do you think interior designed it silly." Zed said,

"The kids will love the entertainment section, and the spacious bedroomcabins are to die for." She added walking away.

"Don't just stand there a tour awaits." Aisaid. I held Zhan's hand as we followed behind them

"Should I be scared?" he asked quietly

"Horrified." I said kissing his hand.We landed in Hong Kong, later thatafternoon, Gio called me the moment we finished checking into our hotel. I waited in the foyer with Fan Xing and Zhen Xin watching them tease each other. Zhan came back from our suite

"Your cousins and I are going to meet up with Bin." He said to me and then turned to Fan Xing,

"You coming honey?" he asked and Fan Xing nodded holding his hand.

"Say goodbye." He added.

"Bye little buddy, have fun." I said putting him down; he playfully stuck his tongue out at Zhen Xin while Zhan rubbedhis hair affectionately.

He hugged me and I wrapped my arms around his waist giving him a chaste kiss...or two.

She chuckled "I love you. Bye." He whispered letting go.

I watched him walk away with Fan Xing in hand; they got into the waiting limo that brought us from the airport. I couldn't help but think about the parent-child resemblance they have. In some instances I saw a lot of Zhan in Fan Xing; it pleased me a lot.

I met Zhen Xin's unimpressed gaze

"Eww Dad." He mumbled and I chuckled

"Shut it." I said and began wrestling himonto the lobby couch, he laughed trying to fight back.

"Ey don't kill the little monkey, I actuallylike him." Gio said walking towards us with a grin.

Zhen Xin ran to him smiling

"Uncle Gio!" he exclaimed.

"Hey champ, missed me?" Gio said afterdoing their secret handshake, and Zhen Xin nodded.

Gio gave me a hug

"How are you feeling?" I asked, knowing very well what he must be feeling with his wedding being two days away.

We walked outside and got into his LexusHe smiled

"Ask me later." He said starting the car

"You didn't spill the surprise to your lovely wife did you?" he asked.
