"Stop fooling around Chen Chen or I will tell mum that you are bullying me. Brother Feng will definitely scold you for that, don't forget that I was and I am still the apple of his eyes," Yang Mi threatened, thinking that Li Chen will back down like he normally did in the past.

"You are the apple of his eyes? Who brainwashed you into believing that nonsense?" Chen asked playfully.

"Sister Zi Er is and will always be the apple of big bro's eyes so don't you even think about getting that title because it is already taken. You can try the title of becoming his daughter, his little puppy or even kitten. Those titles are still very available," Chen said grinning.

"You..,"

"Let's catch up to them or we are going to get scolded for real. Naughty little sister can leave her scolding for later," Chen said, as he grabbed her index finger pointing at him.

.

I have never seen anyone leave Mi Er speechless. Mi Er has finally met her match. They befit each other so well.

Xiaotian thought, smiling inwardly as she followed them.

When they got to the restaurant, they all shared the same table. Yang Zi disliked the idea of eating at the same table as Yifeng but because the kids were there, she pretended to be cool with it.

When it reached the time to order, everyone quietly placed their orders. Just when the waiter wanted to leave, Yifeng called him back.

"Get us one of your best chocolate cakes, Zi Er loves chocolate cake...,"

"I don't like chocolate cake, Mr Li. In fact, I detest them. If there is a way I can stop the manufacture of anything that involves the use of chocolate, I would have done that long ago," Yang Zi said fiercely. Wang Yibo had to hold her hand resting on her lap to prevent her from talking any further.

"Zi Er, the kids are here so please watch what you say," Wang Yibo said in a low tone, still holding her hand.

"I am just saying the truth. Mi Er knows that I now detest any food products made from chocolate so I believe others should know too so that the next day they don't pretend to know me when in reality they know nothing about me," Yang Zi said coldly while staring at Yifeng. With Yang Zi acting this way, the atmosphere became tense. None of the kids dared to say a word.

"I will excuse myself now," Yang Zi said as she wriggled her hand out of Wang Yibo's grip before she stood up and approached the direction of the restroom.

"Brother Feng, don't take what mum said to heart. Sometimes she often acts like that when she is stressed out. I bet spending the entire day with us has tired her out, that is why she said those words to you," Yang Mi said in a bid to ease Yifeng's aching heart a bit.

"I know exactly how your mum is so you don't need to worry. I am fine," Yifeng forced on a smile, just to deceive everyone. Actually, none of them believed what he said.

"Guys, I will go check up on how Zi Er is doing," Wang Yibo said, as he hastily stood up and walked towards the direction Yang Zi took.

While waiting for their orders to be displayed, everyone used that opportunity to wait for the two of them.

"What is taking Big Sis and Brother Yibo so long? I think I should go check up on them...,"

"Don't," Yang Mi immediately grabbed Xiaotian's hand before she could stand up. Yang Mi quickly tried to come up with a convincing lie when everyone on the table turn and gave her weird stares.

"Little daddy has gone to check up on her right? So I am sure they must be on their way now," Yang Mi lied, as she let go of Xiaotian's hand.

"You should have said that without holding my hand. When you held my hand I almost thought that there was something you are hiding that you did not want us to see," Xiaotian said as she turned to face Yang Mi who seems to be in a daze.

I am sure mum is crying in there. I don't want you or anyone else to see her in that messy state. I don't want anyone to ever look at my mum pitifully.

Yang Mi thought, her eyes became misty due to her emotions.

"Mi Er what is wrong? Why does it look like you want to cry?" Li Chen sitting at her left-hand side asked in a worried tone, as he placed his hand on her shoulder.

"I guess I am this way because I feel overwhelmed. It had been a very long time, you, Brother Feng, I and mum all had a meal together. I never thought that we would eat at the same table again as a family, I guess that is why my eyes are this way," Yang Mi lied, as she stole a glance at the direction of the restroom.

"Starting from now, don't worry we will eat together more often. Even though not for anything else, but your sake," Li Chen said as he patted Yang Mi's hair which was tied into a ponytail.

"Quit acting like an adult because it doesn't fit you and also stop making promises you can't keep," Yang Mi said, as she playfully beat away his hand resting on her hair.

Meanwhile, in the restroom, Wang Yibo heaved a sigh of relief when Yang Zi came out of the ladies restroom. He dragged her to one side so that they won't obstruct the path of others.

"Cutie Pie no matter how hard you try to act like his existence doesn't affect you, I know that the mere hearing of his name affects you, not to mention sharing the same space with him. I understand that you haven't totally moved on from him but the kids might not understand all these complicated problems of adults, especially your beloved Mi Er. She is still a child, she doesn't understand the ways and things of the adults so please try as much as possible to watch your attitude to Li Yifeng when she is around," Wang Yibo said in a serious tone. Yang Zi barely saw this side of him. He always acted this way whenever he wanted to say something important.

"You can swear or even beat him up however you wish. I will even join you to beat him up too but this shouldn't happen in front of Mi Er. This is because your attitude, words and actions might affect her. At the moment, you are her biggest role model, it is not worth it for you to ruin that good image she has of you because of him. He is not worth it, so stop hurting because of him," Wang Yibo said, as he tapped her by the shoulder in an encouraging manner.

"Why are you suddenly acting so serious? You have nagged me so many times but not with this expression on so cut it out or I might mistake my naughty YiYi for someone else," Yang Zi said playfully. Wang Yibo could see that she was forcing herself to make a joke but he pretended to be oblivious of it.
