After spending time with his father, Yibo finally came to his apartment, where he was living with his wife, Tina.

The apartment was given to him by his mother and stepdad as a wedding gift and ever since his wedding, this is where the husband and wife have lived.

As he walked inside the apartment, he looked around and saw no one. He thought that it was empty.

He walked into the apartment and kept his stuff in his room before he fell on his bed and sighed, He really missed his bed and his room. And just like that, he fell asleep.

The next time he opened his eyes, he saw that it was late evening, he yawned as he got out of bed and changed his clothes. And since he felt hungry, he went to make something to eat.

Once he came out, he heard the front door open, and he looked up to see his wife Tina coming inside the house. She stopped when she looked at him and smirked. "Ah, the dear husband is alive huh?" she said as she moved closer to him.

Yibo looked at her. Tina was a beautiful woman with pale skin, red lips, beautiful black eyes, a slim figure, and she had good height as well. Her features were sharp, and she had cunning eyes.

Tina was a smart, business-oriented woman who loved to make her own choices. Ever since the two had married, they barely had any interaction.

Well, Yibo had tried to talk, but Tina had always asked him to 'shut up' or 'get lost'. Since the start, her behavior has always been hostile towards Yibo.

She looked at him with disdain, as if she were disgusted by him and hated him; she even refused to sleep in the same room as him, however, she always played the role of a good wife. When they were outside, she always pretended to be madly in love with Yibo or that she was on good terms with him to the outside world, but only they knew that reality.

Yibo smelled the strong men's perfume on Tina, and he could also feel the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, which he didn't like, so he stepped back and looked away. Over the months Tina has always yelled at him or even thrown things at him so Yibo liked to not get in her way. He looked away before he started to walk towards the kitchen and started to make something.

While Tina glared at him, "How did you survive? When you disappeared a day before, I thought that you had run away for good. I thought that you understood that no one really cared about you and decided to leave for good! But here you are back again!"

Yibo clenched his fist and did not respond. He was way too used to this verbal abuse, he just hoped that she wouldn't lose his temper and start to throw things at him.

Tina just scoffed as she looked at him and went to her room before she shut the door with a loud bang, which made Yibo flinch, once she was gone, he finally released a breath that he hadn't realized that he was holding. He felt much more relaxed and calmer.

He quickly made something to eat for himself before he went back to his room.

Back in the day, when he was newlywed, he used to make good for both of them, but Tina used to just ignore it and go away. But one day, when she came back and Yibo asked her to have some food, she became so angry that she rushed to the dining room and threw all the things on the ground. And he even threw the hot soup at him, which burned his stomach area pretty badly.

And even after that, she was not done; she yelled and cursed at him till the man couldn't take it anymore and broke down, and then she called him pathetic and just left, while Yibo had just sat on the chair while sobbing.

After that day, he just avoided Tina and didn't really bother with her, he didn't ask her anything; he didn't ask her why she was late at night or why his stepbrother would come to their house and then go to her room, or sometimes his cousin and stepbrother both would come and spend time with her. He just stayed in his room and locked the door from inside, as he was scared of those three.

His stepbrother is not someone that he likes to talk to, or even face.

He sighed as he thought about the time that he spent with Zhan and his brothers and he missed the good time, he looked at his phone and thought about calling him but then he decided against it, he didn't want to bore Zhan.

After he was done eating, he washed the dishes and walked back to him, he had to start going to work the next day.

~~

Meanwhile, there was someone else who was thinking about him.

Zhan sighed for the millionth time as he stared at the ceiling of his office. Ever since he had come back, there was only one thing on his mind, or more like, one person on his mind.

There was only one person who had captured his mind and wouldn't leave it no matter what. When he would sleep, eat, or work, there was only one person whose thoughts constantly plagued his mind.

The urge and desire to see that innocent little baby cheeks clawed at his heart and ate away his self-control and made him restless.

Thoughts like 'how was he?' 'Where was he?' and 'What he was doing' danced in his head, and it was getting harder and harder to forget about that cute little innocent pushover.

His body itched as his hands desired to wrap around that slim body and manhandle that fine specimen of god, he wanted to feel that person's body against that of his. He closed his eyes sighed again.

Damn, he missed Yibo.

"That was the twentieth sigh in the span of one minute," Simon said as he grabbed Zhan's attention.

Zhan looked at him and shook his head, trying to shake the thoughts of Yibo, but he failed miserably at it.

"What is it, Simon?"

"I have come to invite you for lunch, but it seems like you are busy thinking about someone."

Zhan got up, "it's nothing like that."

"Come on, stop trying to deny something so obvious; Mom, Dad, Marius everyone can see that you are not your usual self, are you missing Yibo?"

Zhan smiled when Simon mentioned him, and Simon saw that before he shook his head, "damn... there is much more to it, right? Don't tell me you are in love with him."

Zhan spoke with a gentle smile, "Well, he hasn't left my mind ever since I left him at his house. I miss seeing his face, hearing his voice, his cute little smile, and so many other things. I really miss him."

"Zhan, you know that he is married, right?"

"He can always get a divorce, or perhaps he can become a widower." Zhan said while Simon sighed, "Zhan... are you planning to go after him?"

Zhan smirked
