The Devil’s love

"Of course the offer is still valid. I will inform my parents and make necessary arrangements. Since Liying is already there, Yitian will feel more comfortable," Mr Wang exclaimed.

"Thank you Mr Wang, I know you are the only one I can trust my brother with." ​​

"Rest assured Mr Mo, your brother's safety is my responsibility. You don't have to worry about him at all," Mr Wang assured him.

"I will let Yitian know, thank you once again." After hanging up the call, Yichan looked at his brother who was still having a hard time believing what he had just heard. "Well, I think I already showed you the path you need to take."

"This—"

Cutting him off, Yichan explained, "A few weeks ago when I met Mr Wang, he told me that if you want to then you could go to his parent's place, where Liying is right now for a vacation. At that time, I thought you were stressed because of college so I told him you were busy. But now you can go there and maybe bring her back with you."

Widening his eyes in shock, Yitian beamed, "Are you serious? I can go where Liying is right now?"

"Yes you can."

Giving him a hug, Yitian exclaimed, "Thank you so much brother Yichan, you are the best."

Patting his back, he smiled, "It's no big deal."

Pulling away, Yitian frowned, "But—what about that guy?"

"What about him? Are you trying to tell me you are scared of a guy who is after your girl? Geez, learn something from your big brother." Placing his hands on his shoulder, Yichan stated, "Never be afraid of your rival. All you need to do is work hard and try to make up for your stupid behavior."

"Okay, I got it. I'll go there, make up for what I did and then also try to bring her back with me," Yitian exclaimed.

"Great, now go and start packing your things."

Outskirts of the country.

"What did you do this time?"

"What do you mean?" Brewing his tea, Antonio calmly answered, "I did not do anything."

"So are you trying to tell me you have nothing to do with what happened with Ziyi?" Kareem frowned. When he heard about Ziyi's accident, he thought his father was behind the accident. Though he had warned Antonio and his eldest son Karl to stay away from everything, he still did not trust them.

"Of course not, I was home all day under the supervision of your men. What can I do when I am being forced to stay indoors by my own son?" Antonio scoffed.

"She met with an accident."

"Oh, is she dead?"

"No, she is out of danger now," Kareem answered.

"What a fortunate soul," Antonio chuckled.

"Stay inside." As Kareem was about to leave, Antonio stopped him.

"Did you talk to your sons?"

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Kareem answered, "I'll talk to them soon."

"Stop lying son, I know you met Roger the other day." Walking towards him, Antonio sighed, "And he knows about Angella." When Kareem did not say anything, he added, "He has joined hands with his old friends again."

"You don't have to stress about it, I'll take care of everything. Just focus on taking care of yourself." Without waiting for his reply, Kareem walked out of the room.

Hospital.

"Here, drink this." Passing him a cup of coffee, grandpa Yang sat right beside Weilong. "It's hot, be careful."

"Thanks dad." Looking at him, Weilong added, "Not for the coffee, but for being with me when I needed you the most."

Taking a deep breath, grandpa Yang sighed, "I wish I could say the same thing to you."

"I know I have wronged you and for the last thirty years and there hasn't been a single day when I did not think of you and our family. Only I know how much I regret leaving everything behind but I had no choice. When you called us back, I wanted to come even Ziyi wanted the same but I stopped myself because I didn't want to risk your life as well."

Pausing for a while, he added, "I left Ning at your doorstep out of so many people because I knew no one could take care of my daughter like you would."

"Then why did you make that stupid deal with your stupid brother?"

"Because I was scared, I was worried about you and Ning. If you had suddenly started taking care of Ning, it would be very suspicious and it wouldn't be hard for Antonio to guess who she was. This is why I made a deal with Luzin. But just like you, I could never trust him and was never at peace. I was always constantly worried about Ning until you took her with you. Only then I felt at peace." Closing his eyes, Weilong sighed, "I know my ways were not right and maybe there would have been a better way if I had tried harder. But at that time, letting Ning go in order to keep her safe was the only option left in front of me so I did that. I very well knew the consequences of giving her up but I was okay with it because it was much better than losing her forever."

"I know my daughter hates me but at least I feel satisfied knowing she is alive and is living a healthy life," he added.

Keeping quiet for quite some time, grandpa Yang remarked, "She doesn't hate you, my Ning never hates anyone. She is just disappointed with you and Ziyi. If you see it from Ning's point of view, she is on the right page. Anyone would react the way she did after knowing the truth."

Lowering his head, Weilong sobbed, "I have wronged both of you."

Gently caressing Weilongs head, Grandpa Yang sighed, "Now don't start crying like a baby again. Everything is getting back on track, you should be happy."

"Ning—"

"Ning did not say this out loud but I know my granddaughter, she has already accepted you and Ziyi." Getting up, he added, "Now all you have to do is make sure not to mess this up again and after Ziyi gets better, come home again. I don't want you to stay there anymore."

"Dad—" Giving him a tight hug, Weilong sobbed harder. "Thank you and sorry."

"Alright now don't start crying again." Patting his back, grandpa Yang added, "Don't ruin my shirt either, it's expensive."
