" Laotian, are you sure you have the time to do this!? " Daniel asked playing with his husband's hair. Early in the morning, the Alpha told him he was going to be busy but after 5 hours, he came home and appeared to be not busy anymore. The Alpha even had the time to cuddle with Daniel and Minmin while they enjoy the fresh air in the garden.
" Hmmm, " The Alpha simply hummed with his eyes closed. He really liked the feeling of Daniel's hand playing with his hair.
" Well, it's also a good thing cause I want you to meet my mom and dad later, we are also inviting grandfather because he still doesn't know we already came back with Minmin already here. " Daniel spoke, excitement visible on his voice. Aside from it has been five years since he had last seen his foster parents, Daniel was also excited to announce to them that he now has an adorable son. Daniel was of course slightly scared of what their reaction might be but he was excited nonetheless. Additionally, his grandfather will surely feel ecstatic to know that he now has a great-grandson.
" hmmm, did you told them about us? " Laotian asked opening his eyes to watch Daniel's reaction.
" Not yet, I'm planning to tell them later. " Daniel smiled sweetly at Laotian. Laotian nodded to that but he cannot help and get worried at how his in-laws would react. Daniel was, after all, 16 years younger than him.
Mo Laotian pondered for a good while then later on concluded to push that thought at the back of his head. Even if his in-laws indeed didn't want him for their son, they wouldn't be able to do anything anymore since Daniel and Laotianwere already married and have a son. Thinking about these facts, Laotian carefully caress Luangmin's sleeping posture as the little one was warmly swaddled in his blanket.
The couple continued to stay in their position while enjoying the garden and its fresh air. Both chatted like usual and at last went back inside when the air started to get colder.
"You two, go warm up in the shower. I'll take care of Xiao Min. After the shower, go buy me some ingredients I needed for dinner tonight. " Mrs. Mo called after running through her pantry. She started cooking a year ago and she's really enthusiastic when it comes to cooking, that's why almost all the dishes were cooked by her.
" Mother, you have numerous helpers to help you do that. " Laotian complained hugging Daniel from the back after the Omega settled Minmin on his crib again.
" No, you also need to take Daniel out once in a while. " Mrs. Mo disagreed and left to her pantry again leaving Laotian no room to argue.
" Laotian, it will be fun. Come on, let's take a shower. " Daniel pulled Laotian's arms after asking a maid to watch Minmin. Suddenly, Laotian lifted Daniel into his arms earning a scream from the Omega.
" Laotian! What are you doing? " Daniel asked confused.
" Mother said we should warm up our bodies. I'm only doing what she said so we can do finish faster. " Laotian said climbing the stairs and then walking inside their room to the bathroom. The two indeed warmed up and had a little make-out session before Daniel finally insisted to the Alpha that they had an errand to run.
Of course, Laotian wasn't interested but because Daniel insisted, they quickly headed to the nearest grocery store after their shower.
When they arrived, Laotian silently followed behind Daniel.
This was just Mo Laotian second time going to a grocery store. The first one was when he was alone buying cookies for Daniel's craving and now, running an errand for his mother. The only difference is that now, he is with his wife. Although he doesn't like places with a lot of people, he enjoys watching Daniel picking up products.
For Daniel, he's used to going grocery store because he lived next to one and was alone for more that 2 years. As Daniel walk around, Laotian followed with the cart. There were unusually a lot of people on the market at the moment so people who saw the couple would turn and admire. Both were only wearing simple house clothes but they attracted attention because they exuded different aura from the rest. Additionally, they look good with each other. Ladies would stare at Laotian and Daniel in admiration. Some felt jealous of Daniel for being so breathtakingly beautiful and even for being able to make an Alpha like Mo Laotian fall for him.
But as usual, Daniel was oblivious about what was happening while Laotian is used to ignore everyone aside from Daniel. Common people don't know Laotian and so they didn't think that taking pictures of the two would cause a commotion.
A woman took a photo of the two thinking of uploading it on her social media about couples. But as she was taking, a man wearing a black shirt approach her taking her phone in a flash. The man was a bodyguard assigned by Laotian mainly for Daniel. The woman tried to snatch back her phone but it was useless.
" What I'm doing is for your own good. " the man firmly said deleting the picture before giving the phone back. The woman was confused but because she got scared she didn't take a picture anymore. On the other, some people already took a picture and even her photo with the man.
At this moment. Mo Empire releases a public statement denying the scandal about the Eldest Young Master's relationship with the Young Mistress of the Sullens. Along with the statement was a detailed and simplified explanation when was the photo taken, the reason they were in a dinner and even the fact that Mo Laotian personally rejected Daniella Sullen twice after the said dinner. Another document also released was the fact that Daniella was the one who spread the photo after the company took the liberty to hire a skilled programmer to trace the multiple IP addresses of the when and where the photo first came out. It was explained that Mo Empire would not have been so cruel if Miss Daniella accepted the rejection so now Eldest Young Master Mo Laotian publicly rejected Daniella Sullen for the third time.
This news immediately caused an uproar earning numerous negative comments from the netizens. If Daniella wasn't engaged recently to the heir of Hymlyn Corporation she would have curry favor taking it as a young lady pursuing her true love but not too long ago, she said she fell for Paul Hymlyn since they were Highschool and even told the media their love story and how it bloomed from friendship to love.
While some didn't believe the news, many already felt disgusted with her method. She was called different name. Those who knew the true Daniella since they were high school revealed some of her secrets.
Daniella didn't expect this would happen to her so she immediately called for Paul and explained that she was framed while crying. Mr. and Mrs. Sullen also tried to clear things up but of course, no one believed it, they also weren't expecting things would go this way when the said "secret relationship" of Daniella and Mo Laotian went on the public.
Yesterday, people were calling them thinking about how they can finally have a partnership with the Mo Empire through the Sullens but now no one would even dare accept their call for help. People were scared that they would offend the Mo Empire if they help the Sullens.
" Father, your only granddaughter is in trouble, how can you go out now!? " Second Young Master called his father. Grandfather Sullen was getting ready to visit Daniel at the Mo's and he didn't know the news yet.
" What are you talking about!? "
" Mo Laotian slandered your granddaughter saying that she was the one who spread that photo and even rejected her publicly. " Second Young Master explained. Elder Sullen immediately frowned, he almost wanted to smack his second son.
" I already told you yesterday to release a public statement denying the scandal. Mo Laotian already gave you a chance yesterday but you took advantage of the news, now this is what you get. Mo Chendong is my friend but even he can't change the decision of his son. " Elder Mo growl angrily, he already knew Mo Laotian won't stay silent even if he's implicating his in-laws for Daniel. Elder Sullen learned quickly how Mo Laotian doted Daniel the most.
" Father this news already affected our company. " Second Young Master helplessly. He was hoping Elder Sullen could help them. He's friend with Mo Chendong, Second Young Master was sure that if his father would speak to his friend, this thing would be solved immediately. Truthfully, he didn't even expect Mo Laotian would attack this cruelly. Their families are long term good friends but he didn't bat an eye when he let his PR release the statement.
" I will do what I can. Now, I am going to see my grandson. " Elder Sullen said ready to leave.
" Is that Omega more important than your granddaughter and the company!? " Second Young Master roared hearing that his father is visiting Daniel. Daniel was an embarrassment in family and he would never accept Daniel as his son.
" Careful what you are saying. He may be the only one who can save you now. " Elder Sullen said with meaning before he left his son. Second Young Master scuffs watching his father left.
'What can an Omega do? All he can do is seduce old men for a little amount of money.' Second Young Master thought as if it wasn't his flesh and blood he was talking about.
