On the ride to the mall, Daniel happily listened to the two woman who was talking about clothes and jewelry. Daniel felt relieved, happy that his mother had found someone she could chat enthusiastically. Mrs. Lopez is a very introverted person, that's why she was very close to Daniel because she spent all of her time taking care of him.
Now that she found Mrs. Laura Mo, who is a very talkative individual. Even though it had been just day since they've met, it's like they have been friends for a long time. Surprisingly, despite having opposite personalities, they have many things in common that they immediately become friends.
"That's right darling, I heard from Diane that you're turning 20 soon. We're planning to have a very big celebration, and let's also publicize your relationship with Laotian. " Laura Mo said excitedly. 'Elder Sullen won't disagree to it as Daniel will turn 20, it's a great age to get married.' Laura Mo thought.
" O-okay. " After hearing what Mrs. Mo said, Daniel unconsciously held baby Minmin. Laotian and Daniel had talked about it the night before, Daniel agreed to it since there is no point in hiding their relationship anymore. Daniel believes that Laotian would protect him and Minmin no matter what.
"Don't be nervous darling. We are also doing this to avoid future scandals like what happened, you are Laotian's wife now. You also have the obligation to keep him away from the owl's eye. " Mrs. Mo said obviously indicating something. She knew Mo Laotian would never be unfaithful but it's still best to be not too confident.
"Daniel, Baby. Your husband is a great man and no man or woman would not want him, so you have to stay and hold your ground."
" Yes, Mommy. " Daniel nodded. Although he doubted Laotian would cheat on him and Minmin he should still not give Laotian a reason to do it. The two woman nodded smiling.
When they arrived at the shopping center Daniel simply followed the two with baby Minmin sleeping against his chest while being supported by a baby carrier. Also, not far away were a few bodyguards following them that he felt secure. Laotian already informed him that there will be a few men assigned to guard and stay close to Daniel and Minmin 24/7. Even if he was in the mansion, Daniel has bodyguards on standby that he already got used to it.
Meanwhile...
Laotian taps his fingers on the table waiting for the meeting to finish. He couldn't just cancel the meeting this time so he was being impatient. He received a text from the head security he assigned to guard Daniel and he said that his wife had gone out with Madam Mo and Madam Lopez into Central Shopping Center.
Daniel isn't forbidden from going out but Laotian just couldn't stop worrying. Daniel just slightly recovered from his heat and it might come back anytime. Laotian was thinking, what if the heat comes back? He would never forgive any person who would touch his wife. He would surely hunt him down and then kill him with his own hands if need be.
" Brother, stop doing that. You're making everybody nervous. " Mo Hanlu whispered pointing at Laotian's tapping fingers.
" You look like you're going to kill someone. Are you thinking of brother-in-law!? " Mo Hanlu whispered again. He just can't help but noticed the tension in the room. Laotian has been tapping his fingers for a couple of minutes now and everybody thought that the boss was not satisfied with the report plan. The man in front had been sweating nonstop but he couldn't just stop until the boss said so. He was afraid that after this he might lose his job.
Laotian lazily glanced at Mo Hanlu and then back to the reporter. The man in front couldn't help but cry inside, the people listening just silently prayed for him as they couldn't do anything for him.
After finally finishing the report, the project planning manager wipes off his sweat and faced Laotian waiting for his judgment.
" Ready the contract for signing. " Laotian simply said indicating that he was satisfied with the project plan. Everybody especially the project planning head sighs in relief. They've been working on the planning of a new project for 3 months and finally, the boss had said yes.
Laotian nodded his head to everybody before standing picking up his things and walked out. Mo Hanlu congratulated the team before immediately rushing to his eldest brother. He had been following Laotian for three days now and every time Hanlu would lose him but today he will definitely follow his eldest brother without fail.
" brother, brother! Where are you going!? Please bring me along. " Mo Hanlu said after seeing Laotian getting ready to leave. It's not even lunch break yet.
" You are scheduled to visit three factories today. " Laotian said in a monotone.
" I've asked someone else to do it. Come on let me follow you like always brother. We haven't spent a lot of time with each other for a long time. " Hanlu begged. If only his brother would not kill him if he pounces on him Hanlu would have already done it.
" Don't slack off from work. " Laotian glared at Hanlu before walking out of the office bringing with him his briefcase. Hanlu pouted and complain in a low voice.
" tsk. Aren't you slacking off yourself!? " Hanlu mumbled but then run off following Laotian. Seeing that he couldn't stop his younger brother, Laotian just lets Hanlu follow him. This younger brother of him had been following him for days now. Laotian doesn't really care if Hanlu followed him but sometimes he just wants to be with Daniel alone. Hanlu had been following him since they were little, copying everything he does like Laotian's little disciple.
Laotian knew how highly Hanlu views him and because of it, he would do his best every time, afraid that the little brother who's always tailing him would be disappointed. Laotian used to like being followed by Hanlu when they were little because Hanlu used to be so cute but now it gets annoying and who would want a 32 years old man always following you anyway?
Laotian had a headache when he saw Hanlu sat beside him in his car.
" Why are you here? " Laotian asked looking at Hanlu comfortably leaning his back on the chair with his legs crossing forming a number four.
" I'm gonna come with you. Come on just act like I'm not here, brother. "
" You have your own car. " Laotian said the fact.
" yeah I have, but I hired a driver to drive me at the office today and he left with my car so technically I don't have a car at this moment. " Hanlu explained, he had already prepared to follow Laotian today, what's more effective than riding with the person himself!?
" . . . " Laotian didn't say anymore and just let it be. It would only delay him if he talks with Hanlu so he signaled his driver to start the engine and drive to Central Shopping Center.
" So!?... Is brother-in-law at the mall now? " Hanlu asked after not being able to keep silent.
" hmm. "
" With mom? " Hanlu asked again earning another nod from Laotian.
" Oh no! What if the public recognizes Daniel? He's with mom. " Hanlu asked worriedly, he's sure his nephew is with Daniel. 'What if something happened?' Hanlu thought worried sick as if he Daniel was his wife and Luangmin was his son.
" The topic about you having a secret wife had already spread. You didn't even try to deny it so reporters are trying to dig up evidence. Are you sure brother-in-law will be okay? "
" . . . " Laotian kept silent. 'Daniel better be fine or why else did he hire top-notch bodyguards to protect his wife?' Laotian thought.
" brother, how about Daniella? " Hanlu thought again, he remembered Laotian said he would take care of Daniella himself.
" she'll meet her end soon. " Laotian said with deep killing intent. Whenever he heard her name, Laotian would always remember what she did to his family. Laotian will surely make Daniella Sullen regret for what she did. In fact, his plan had started moving.
" Good good. Please bring me along, brother. " Hanlu begged as if his eyes were sparkling. He is afraid of this side of Laotian but at the same time, he thought his brother is cool.
" If you're good. "
" I will! I will! I will be good, brother. " Hanlu excitedly jump facing Laotian causing Laotian to have a headache.
" Okay, be quiet. " Laotian said in defeat. Thankfully Hanlu managed to keep his mouth shut until they arrived at the shopping center. Not getting off of the car yet, Laotian took his phone and dialed Daniel's number.
" Hello? " Daniel called from the other phone as if he wasn't sure who was calling. Laotian slightly frowns.
" Where are you right now? " Laotian asked directly. He got off of the car still frowning. It sounds like there was a commotion on Daniel's side with all the noises.
" Laotian! U-uhmm I'm with mother in the mall right now. " Daniel's voice slightly became high pitch that Laotian immediately felt suspicious and worried. It's like the Omega was hiding something from him and it got something to do with the noises at his side.
" Uhmm Laotian. I need to go now or I'll lose sight of mother. " Daniel hurriedly said and ended the call. Daniel was afraid Laotian would hear his biological mother shouting. This problem is just a small issue so Laotian didn't need to come personally. Daniel can protect himself from small matters like this.
