With Lan on his arms, Ian planned to find Hanlu to share with him his plans when he bumped into him on the way out of the kitchen.
"Oops, careful," Hanlu whispered, catching the mother and son on his arm as the two bumped on his chest. He finished talking to Mo Laotian and so now he wanted to report it to Ian.
"Oh, you're just right. Your son has something to ask you." Ian said with a smile.
"What is it, buddy?" Hanlu asked, picking Lan from Ian's arms. He ignored Henry in the background as he urged the little kid to talk. He still, after all, hates Henry even though nothing happened between him and Ian.
"Uhmm," Lan blushed as he started. Hanlu quickly found that adorable that he had forced himself to remain calm. He knew his son was a handsome kid and he can't help but feel proud that he was his and Ian's child. The thought of making multiple of them quickly made him excited.
"Uhmm," Lan repeated. He didn't understand why he suddenly felt embarrassed asking something only a little kid would do. He is a grown-up now but he still wished to sleep with his parents. He can't help feeling shy because he never asked or insists on his mother for something that he wanted.
"Don't be shy, buddy, tell Daddy. What is it? Do you want new toys? Disney? You want to go to Disneyland?" Hanlu guessed dotingly. Whatever his son wanted, Hanlu was positive he would get it no matter what it was.
"No. Not toys or Disneyland." Lan chuckled and hugged Hanlu. Ian watched this and he glared at Hanlu for suggesting extreme things while Hanlu just looked back at him as if saying, 'What? That's what kids usually want. I said nothing wrong.'
"I-I, Lan wanna go back home, Daddy." Lan suddenly blurted, hiding his face against Hanlu's neck. When Ian heard what his son said, he suddenly felt heartbroken. It's because it was his fault that Lan grew up so mature. He didn't have the chance to be a little kid, be spoiled, and enjoy his young age. Lan had to learn to be independent at a very early age and Ian's heart broke thinking of that.
"Baby, that's not what you wanted to ask Daddy," Ian said and caressed Lan's back.
"It's okay. Instead, I don't want Daddy to leave again. I want Daddy to stay with us, Mommy." Lan said with a gentle smile on his lips looking both at his father and mother. He wasn't a child anymore and so he thought he shouldn't ask something only babies would ask. Besides, he would be so much happier if he gets to see his Daddy every day.
Smiling as he listened to the mother and son, even though he didn't want to go back so soon, Hanlu quickly agreed. "Okay. If that's what my baby wants. But you two have to stay in Daddy's house, okay?" Hanlu said dotingly. He thought if the two stayed at his house, he could protect them better because his place had better security and he would feel assured that way.
"Stay with Daddy? Does Daddy have a house?" Lan asked, surprised. He only knew from his mother that his Daddy lives in the place where he works because it would be easier for him to work there, and so that's why Hanlu can't come and visit him all the time even when it was night time because his Daddy was busy with work even at night.
"Of course, baby. You didn't think Daddy had a house? You know, Daddy's house is bigger than this house." Hanlu said proudly. Actually, his mansion was as big as the Mo Estate; his mansion was even bigger than Mo Laotian's. His place was also self-sufficient because he had a huge greenhouse garden next to it.
When Hanlu first thought of building his house, he wanted to be able to survive in it even if an epidemic or a Zombie apocalypse suddenly happens. He wanted a house that will enable him to last a lifetime even if he doesn't go out for eternity.
So in the end, Hanlu had a pond full of edible fishes for him to feast on and a garden with almost all his favorite fruits and vegetables that he could eat anytime he wanted to.
Hanlu was actually very proud of it.
"Really?! Does Daddy have a pool too?" Lan asked in interest.
"Of course, bigger than the one they have here," Hanlu replied proudly.
"Wow! I wanna go there with Mommy." Lan smiled brightly thinking of the pool he's going to swim in. He liked swimming very much, that's why he liked pools.
Meanwhile, Ian listening to the father and son, he also wondered what Hanlu's house would look like. The Alpha invited him multiple times before but he never dared to come.
Aside from he didn't want to go to the places where Hanlu brought his bitches as well, Ian believed it would be dangerous for him if he's caught on camera by those paparazzi that keep on stalking Mo Hanlu for gossip. And so, so many years had passed and Ian had never been at Hanlu's place except the Empire Hotel where they usually had sex.
"Of course, we don't want to leave Mommy here. Or else, someone would steal him from us and then your baby sister wouldn't be born." Hanlu said making sure his voice would reach Henry from the back. And indeed, Henry heard him but he only smirked and continued to enjoy his snack.
He couldn't help agreeing with his friend though, if Hanlu indeed left Ian, he would definitely snatch him for himself.
Ian Andrews was a rare gem; it wasn't difficult to find him adorable and lovable. For the past days he had been taking care of Ian, there was indeed a time when he thought of making Ian his lover if he was really abandoned by Hanlu. Alas, he was not and so now, he had no choice but to give up.
"Shut up! No one is stealing anyone from someone..." Ian quickly interrupted before shifting his attention to Lan. "Wherever my Baby goes, Mommy will definitely be there as well, okay?"
"Yey!! I Love you, Mommy. I love you, Daddy." Lan said and hugged both.

"Laotian, was that Hanlu?" Daniel called when Laotian puts down his phone after just talking to someone. He heard the Alpha demanding the other to go back so Daniel thought it was Hanlu who called.
"Hmmm, he called to apologize." Laotian simply replied and then walked close to Daniel's bed.
Their visitor just left which was Gared Sullen and his three sons after having a quick visit while Mo Chendong and Laura together with Diane with Luangmin and Armand left briefly to buy everyone lunch.
Laotian caressed Daniel's hair as he sat in the nearest chair before he asked him, "Are you sure you're not feeling any pain now?" Laotian softly said, concern visible in his expression.
"Not the greatest but I'm fine Laotian. So why was he apologizing, this wasn't his fault?" Daniel smiles sweetly, he does still feel a little uncomfortable but after receiving all those concerns and greetings from his family, he felt a lot better now.
"He apologized about your pills." Laotian briefly replied and he felt stressed out again thinking about his conversation with his younger brother. He wasn't able to say anything as Hanlu just blasted him with his explanation that Laotian was speechless. When Laotian was finally able to say a few words, he was once again held speechless before Hanlu hung upon him.
"Oh, *chuckles* he didn't need to but I hope he won't do it again." Daniel laughed. "What else did he say? Where is he now? Is he with Ian and Lan?" Daniel added excitedly. Hanlu had been missing for more than a week now and Tian Zi told Laotian while Laotian told him that Hanlu came to find his family. Maybe by now, he found them?
"Hmmm, he mentioned that he only called because his wife said so, and then he hung up," Laotian said that instantly brightened Daniel's expression.
"So he's finally with Ian now? Oh gosh, I hope they makeup and marry already." Daniel said excitedly. He really hated the thought of Veronica marrying Hanlu so he wished the two made up already and Ian should just put Veronica where she belongs. If that happens everything will be back to the way it was. Daniel obviously didn't want to deal with a person like Veronica ever again.
"If Hanlu and Ian made up, they should come back and fix all of this. I-I don't want her. I don't like Veronica." Daniel stated, he sounded like pouting. He remembered the day when the actress completely ignored him when they were the only ones left at the dining table more than a week ago. The way she looked at him and Luangmin plus when she attacked him and Luangmin with pheromones that Daniel just couldn't let her marry Hanlu.
The Mo Family is a very good household. All members are extremely nice and approachable. If Veronica married Hanlu, Daniel was afraid the Mo household would become like his Sullen's. Daniel didn't like having enemies within the family relatives. It's not good and it's sad.
*sighs* "Hanlu will not marry her. The other members of the family wouldn't agree. And soon mother will learn that the actress is not worthy." Laotian cooed. He held Daniel's hand this time and kissed it softly. Daniel had been very disappointed at his mother-in-law's decision and even though he didn't say anything up until now, Laotian already knew it; so now, he would like to confirm some things to Daniel so he wouldn't be stressed out with this topic throughout his recovery.
"What? Really? What about the baby? The news already keeps mentioning Veronica and Hanlu's wedding day; Veronica had been in so many interviews since her pregnancy was revealed."
"Hanlu doesn't believe the child was his but if it was, then, father said they will make arrangements. I'm sure as well Hanlu will take care of the baby if it was really his. And regarding the interviews, nobody told that woman to go. She's the one saying things about this so-called wedding. Not the Mos. Not Hanlu." Laotian explained as a matter-of-factly. Hanlu hasn't even been in one interview to confirm his relationship with the actress but that woman was actually this thick to take things into her hand and hint to people that she was marrying his younger brother.
"Huh? Then what if there is truly no wedding? Doesn't this mean Veronica is ruining her career for lying?" Daniel asked, confused. Veronica is an actress, she shouldn't say things that aren't sure yet since Hanlu was never okay with her. How sure was she that Hanlu would marry her to happily declare and hint to everyone that she was going to marry into the Mos.
Just thinking about it, Daniel felt bad at what might happen to her in the future even though he doesn't like Veronica.
"She dug her own grave. No one told her to do what she's doing." Laotian coldly replied. Just suddenly thinking the woman's face quickly irritated him. "Now enough with her, I think you should rest for now and later the nurse will come and visit to check if you're still bleeding, okay?" Laotian said making Daniel pout but he replied okay anyways but as he was about to follow Laotian, someone at the door knocked a couple of times before opening the door to come in.
Daniel and Laotian glanced at where the visitor should come out; Daniel instantly smiled when he looked at the person who was visiting him. Since his grandfather said he was going to visit tomorrow morning, Daniel thought the man would visit tomorrow as well.
"Dad!" Daniel called brightly. George Sullen smiled at him as he walked near his son after nodding briefly at Laotian as a greeting. He was holding a bouquet of flowers on one of his arms while a basket of assorted fruits hung on his elbow, and on his other hand, carried a box of what it seemed to be a cake.
"Hey, I came right away when I heard. Are you okay?"
