"Li Hao!!." Yanda murmured.

"Yes Li Hao!.. my best friend whom I lost at a very young age. He died while protecting me. He took the bullet that was for me. " Said Yuan Ji looking at the statue.

Yanda looked at him with a question look which Yuan Ji understood.

" I know you have lots of questions going on in your mind and want ask. I will tell you everything today. How I know Li Hao." Said Yuan Ji.

Yanda didn't say anything . She just stand there looking at him listening whatever Yuan Ji is saying.

"My parents are so busy in their bussiness related works that they never had time to spent with me. My mom always busy with all those of kitty parties, shopping and mostly keep going around the world leaving me alone with those servants and caretakers in the mansion. In my school I was very very sad when I see my classmates when their mothers bought tiffin for them and feed them with all the love. I also wished if my mom also do something like that to me. But my mom dunno even what is my favorite food till today nor she even care to know it. Instead she hand me money to buy food whatever I want eat but where can I buy that motherly love which my heart urge. She don't even bother to ask me if I had eat my food or not...And my dad never play with me whenever back from work. He most time don't even return home. When I go to the playground I see how other kids parents spent time together laughing happily. When they get hurt how lovingly their parents take care of the wounded part. I get jealous sometime you know. I wished if my parents too do the same for me.. but it never happened... I cry sometime and sometime I don't eat at all. But none my parent care about it." Said Yuan Ji and sigh a bit.

" I became arrogant that time...and always maintain a serious look to my classmates just to escape myself from their questions about my parents why they never spent time with me like their parents. I avoid making friends. They also never dare to talk me too. "

"Then one day Li Hao came into my life as a blessing into my life. He was new in the school. And he was the first boy who sit with me and forward his hands of friendship. Though at first I tired avoid him as well but he keep calling me. He was the first person who shared his tiffin with me." Said Yuan Ji.

Flashback begin:

" Hi I'm Li Hao...can I sit beside you ? " Li Hao asked Yuan Ji.

Yuan Ji didn't move . He just keep looking at the blackboard. Li Hao looked around to see another seat for him but whole classroom was full.

" There is no other seat available to sit... Can you please let me have a seat beside you." Li Hao asked again.

Yuan Ji listened whatever he have said and checked the class and saw it's all full only his bench got a seat . He didn't say anything just move aside letting him to sit.

" Thank you" said Li Hao politely and sit near him.

They did their classes. Both of them didn't talk at all. In the lunch break as usual Yuan Ji was watching other classmates who was enjoying eating their tiffin and praising each other foods cooked by their moms. Li Hao was about to pass by him but he stopped when notice the pain in the eyes of Yuan Ji . So he seat near him. Yuan Ji give a glare to him.

" Hi..you not eating your tiffin yet? " Li Hao asked innocently .

" That's none of your business" Yuan Ji asked.

"Come on.... If you have forgot to bring your tiffin. I can share you my tiffin . It's lunch time and you might be hungry as well. " Said Li Hao.

Yuan Ji was touched by the words of Li Hao . He looked at him and said " I will buy my food. You don't worry about it "

"Why you need buy it when my mom have given me enough food in the tiffin. My mom cook so yummy food everyday for me. Here the spring rolls try and see how is it. Take take...don't shy hm.. take it.." said Li Hao placing the tiffin infront of Yuan Ji.

Yaun Ji saw the spring rolls and he bite his lips. He want to taste it and feel it how homely cook food is. He looked at Li Hao once again.

"Pick it and taste it" said Li Hao again .

Yuan Ji pick one of the spring roll and take a bite of it. For the first time he taste it and he feel it really very yummy. He closed his eyes while enjoying every bite of the roll. Li Hao smile seeing his reaction.

"How is it?..do you like it ? " Li Hao asked.

" It's really very very yummy.. I have never eat such delicious food before. I love it. Your mom really cook nice. " Said Yuan Ji smiling.

" I knew it you will love it...my mom cook every food with love... Eat some more ..." Said Li Hao.

Yuan Ji pick one more spring roll and eat it ....he was very happy within. It was his first time tasting any homemade food cooked by a mother. They both finish eating the tiffin.

" You have eat my tiffin but you haven't told me your name yet... What's your name? " Asked Li Hao

" My name is Yuan Ji... You can call me Yuji." Said Yuan Ji.

" Ok I will call you Yuji...can we be friends from today? " Said Li Hao.

" Yess we are friends from today.." said Yuan Ji happily.

Days went by and they become friends to best friend. They both share each other problems and the reason why his parents forbids him from making friends with the poor and orphans. But Li Hao always proved that his parents were wrong to judge people. Li Hao always bought him food cooked by his mom which Yuan Ji always enjoy eating it.

Flashback end

Yuan Ji told Yanda how his best friend understand him and always there to cheer up him . How his lonely life become a happy life after he met Li Hao. He told her everything how after Li Hao parents died he were send to orphanage. And how he sacrifice his life for him.

"I can't get over the death of my best friend so my parents send me abroad to finish my studies. I never forgot him..I never made any friend after that. I treasure every words of my best friend whatever he told me in his last moments. I finish my studies abroad and return here to join bussiness. But then I got to know my dad have most of illegal bussiness and markets. And that was one of the reasons I got kidnapped where I lost my best friend. I tried find out the one who responsible of that kidnapping. After I found out the culprit I end their every bussiness and make their life miserable. I later separated myself from my dad's bussiness At young age I established my own business. I build this orphanage in his memory. " Said Yuan Ji

"Yuan Ji I didn't know you have such a sad past. I always thought seeing your mom and Sister's attitude that you are also same type who hate poor and orphans. But you seems totally opposite of your own family. And I dunno that you are Yuji. I heard this name on Li Hao gege mouth sometimes." Said Yanda looking at him.

" Yanda!!. My sister is also not bad..it's my mom who manipulate her. She didn't got chance to have friends with other girls as my mom forbids her to make friends with poor and orphans. I was lucky in my life Li Hao came but none in her life came someone like Li Hao to teach reality. And to some extent I'm also responsible in spoiling her. As she is the only one who always call me to know how I'm doing when I was abroad. My parents forget my birthday to wish but she never forgets. She will be the always first person to wish me birthday. So I became so attached to her that I fulfilled all her wish. So she became spoiled. " Said Yuan Ji.

" So that's why you made Ka Sou marry Lan Shang to fulfill her wish" Said Yanda.

" Yess and I regret later when I came to know that Li Luo is Li Hao's younger sister. I never knew that Li Luo is Lulu. Her brother sometime talk about Lulu to me. I also never asked him what's Lulu real name is. But after I came back tried find Lulu to some orphanage but couldn't find it. And when I found out it's already late. I break the heart of his dear sister on her engagement day. But I'm happy she married to Shi instead of Ka Sou. Ka Sou don't deserve Li Luo. After I got know that Li Luo going marry Shi I enquired about him and found he is really a good person . So I didn't create any obstacles on the marriage or I would have stopped the marriage. I also want Li Luo to have a happy married life . Shi is the perfect husband for her. I'm happy for her. " Said Yuan Ji.

" Yes I'm happy that Li Luo married Shi instead of Ka Sou. " Yanda said and sigh . She spoke again "Yuan Ji I really dunno that you are Yuji . Me and Li Luo was quite small that time . We heard Li Hao gege talking about Yuji couple of times. He never get tired praising you.. He always say to his sister that if ever any problem occur his best friend will always protect. Li Luo was very happy seeing her brother happy. Her brother is her world. But the day her brother lifeless body were send to the orphanage Li Luo whole world became upside down. She cry every night missing her brother. It took her couple of years to get over from it.." said Yanda.

"I couldn't protect my best friend infact I break his sister's heart. " Yuan Ji said with tears.

" No Yuan Ji .. you didn't break Li Luo heart instead you saved her life from marrying Ka Sou. They was never made for each other. Shi and Li Luo was destined. And about Li Hao gege, he sacrifice his life to save his best friend. I belief you too have done same if that day Li Hao haven't died. " Said Yanda trying to comfort Yuan Ji.

Yuan Ji hugged her and cried " I still feel guilty and somehow blame myself for his death. " Said Yuan Ji.

" Listen Yuan Ji!!!...your friend sacrifice his life so that you can stay alive and be happy . Don't insult his sacrifice by being sad and guilty... You are helping those orphan kids and they will have a beautiful future..Isn't it one way you are keeping his last wish. Your view for poor people and orphans is not like your parents. I'm sure your best friend will be very happy seeing all these from above. " Said Yanda holding his hands.

" I guess you are right...I want him to be happy in his world " Said Yuan Ji looking at her

" So from now on don't blame or sad or feel guilty on yourself. Live a happy life which your best friend want you to have. " Said Yanda looking at him.

" Will you be the part of my that happy life...cause after Li Hao I feel you are my world...my life..and I can't breath without you in my life....my happiness is not complete without you being my side. " Said Yuan Ji confessing his feeling to Yanda.

"..l..l..mm..Yuan Ji.." Yanda was not prepared for such sudden confession from Yuan Ji.

" It's alright!.. I will not force you .. you take you time...I'm willing to wait for it..." Said Yuan Ji feeling little sad he went near the statue of Li Hao and caressed the face.

"Yuan Ji...I..I'm willing to be the part of your happy life... and want to stay by your side forever." Said Yanda loudly confessing her feeling for Yuan Ji making him freeze.

" Yanda!!..what did you just said is it true or I'm dreaming?" Asked Yuan Ji as he can't belief at what he heard.

Yanda came near him and pulled his ear tightly.

" Ouchh!!..it's pains " said Yuan Ji.

" So now you belief you not dreaming? " Said Yanda and pulled his ear again.

" Ouchhh!!.. now why that again?" Said Yuan Ji.

" This for not showing up your ugly face for pass week in my cafe and making me miss you all the time.." said Yanda which make Yuan Ji to give a smirked.

" So are you confessing that all those days you missed me huh? " Said Yuan Ji coming near her and hold her waist pulling her closer to him leaving no space. He looked into her eyes waiting for her reply.

"Yeah.. I missed you Yuan Ji all those days and there I realise that I have fallen for you....I love you Yuan Ji" Said Yanda softly looking at his eyes confessing her feelings.

Yuan Ji heartbeat faster hearing the confession from the lady his heart desire. He hugged her tightly and shed tears in happiness.

"Thank you Yanda for accepting my love for you...I love you so much kitty. Today is my most happiest day in my life. You are mine finally. " said Yuan Ji still tears in eyes.

Yanda breaking the hug she rub the tears from his cheeks and cupped his face "now you too listen carefully and hook that in your mind heart and soul that from now on you are also mine and mine alone. If I ever see you flirting any girl I will bite you and yeah break your these two legs and whole day you going work in the kitchen."

" ermm wild kitty....so you saying me to marry you soon huh? cause these rights are only for wife that I allow." Said Yuan Ji with a teasing smirk making Yanda blushed in shy.

"Good you smart enough to understand...but we have to wait till Li Luo and Shi come back from Thailand. Li Luo is the only family close to heart I have. I want her presence in my wedding" Said Yanda

" Alright then when they come back we get married " said Yuan Ji happily kissing her hands.

Both of them happily spent time together in the orphanage.

In Chao mansion:

" Princess!!..it's almost to one month . Go do a pregnancy test . I'm sure you are pregnant that's why you miss this month period." Said Lian Ji Yi on phone to Lan Shang.

" Mommy!!.. but may be I must wait some more days " said Lan Shang.

" Aishhh princess I want you to be the first to give a grandson to Chao family. Then your son will be the only heir of Chao company legally. " Said her mom.

" Mommy I know...alright I will do the test soon and let you know..." Said Lan Shang.

"That's my princess" said her mom in the phone in happiness.

"Mom I heard that Li Luo and Shi going to stay in Thailand for this whole month. I don't understand why they staying there this long... I thought they will be separated after I reveal Shi's girlfriend truth." Said Lan Shang.

"What?..they staying there for this whole month??... I have no idea what that orphan planning against you.." said Lian Ji Yi in worried tone.

" Mom I don't want that orphan to come back ever again and I fear what if she steal Ka Sou from me by making him jealous. No no ...I can't let that happen." Said Lan Shang in worried tone.

" That's why I said you to do the test...once you get pregnant Ka Sou can't get rid of you. Li Luo will also won't be able get him. Also try win Ka Sou's mom and dad love and trust" Said Lian Ji Yi.

"I will take care of his parents ....but mom after testing what if I'm not pregnant....I can't lose him." Said Lan Shang.

"Make Ka Sou sleep with you every night...I'm sure you will give good news soon. Keep trying everything that makes you bear his baby. " Said Lian Ji Yi with smirked.

" I will do everything that will keep Ka Sou to me only." Said Lan Shang with confident.

" That's the spirit my princess..now don't worry about that Li Luo...I will deal with her once you give me the good news." Said Lian Ji Yi.

"Alright mommy.." said Lan Shang and then cut the call.

" Li Luo I won't let you have my Ka Sau...though he already said that he got no feeling for you anymore I trust him but I can't trust Li Luo's intentions. Moreover I don't want Li Luo to come back to this Chao family. I can't tolerate her in same roof with mine. I hate her core of my heart." murmured Lan Shang looking at the mirror.

Lan Shang went to meet Mrs Chao who was in kitchen trying cook the breakfast.

" Mom what are you cooking? You need any help?" Asked Lan Shang.

" Lan Shang!!.you came to kitchen today for first time and willing to help as well in cooking that's really strange..." Said Mrs Chao as she can't belief. It's was her beyond expectations

" Mom I always wanted help you but thing is I feel you don't like my presence near you so I hesitant to come forward for helping you. " Said Lan Shang looking down making sad face.

" No no I never feel bad you near me. Alright since you have come tell me do you know to cook anything ? " Asked Mrs Chao looking at her with smile.

"Mmm... I know to bake cake, cookies and coffee." Said Lan Shang happily.

" Alright then you make cake and cookies for breakfast after that make the coffee for all. I will prepare some more items for breakfast. We will have it all together. " Said Mrs Chao giving a happy look to her.

Lan Shang without wasting time began to prepare the cake and cookies. All the time she wholeheartedly did the work.

Mrs Chao was happy seeing Lan Shang changing behavior. ..."I guess in times she will be a good person and a good daughter-in-law. I can see some changes in her past few days. She is willing to accept this family now. I'm happy to see her this changes...." Mrs Chao thought while looking at her.

Both of them done cooking and they together make everything ready in the breakfast table. All of them came to have their breakfast.

"How is the cake and cookies Ka Sou?" Asked Mrs Chao looking at Ka Sou.

"It's delicious mom...I like it " said Ka Sou giving a smile to his mom.

"Your wife make those today in morning . Helping me too in the kitchen" said Mrs Chao giving a smile.

Both Ka Sou and Mr Chao was surprised to what Mrs Chao have said. They give a shocking look at Lan Shang which made her give a smile to them.

"I cooked what I know. I hope mom will teach me some of her recipes too so that I can cook more often for the family. " Said Lan Shang happily.

Ka Sou was happy that his wife trying to be close to his parents. He is happy that whatever he tried to make her understand in their farm house she now trying to do it like she promised to him.

" Offcourse I will teach you...now come have your breakfast as well with us ..sit.. sit." Said Mrs Chao.

Lan Shang sit beside Ka Sou and had her breakfast happily.

Though Mr Chao didn't say anything..deep in his mind he wonder does Lan Shang really changed or it's something an another mystery.

After having the breakfast Ka Sou got ready to go to the company. Lan Shang came to their room.

" Thanks sweetie...for trying to keep your promise... I'm very happy for it today. " said Ka Sou pulling her closer to him.

"Don't thanks Sugarlips!!.. Its my responsibility as a good daughter-in-law instead I should thank you for making me aware of it." Said Lan Shang while rubbing her nose to Ka Sou's nose.
