Xiao Zhan was getting late for work and right now he was waiting for Wen Ning who would come every morning and take care of A-yaun until he returned from work.

He was about to call Wen Ning again when there was a message from Mianmian. Xiao Zhan opened the message and it read, 'The shop will be closed for the next three days as I am travelling away from the city. I will notify as soon as I am back'

Xiao Zhan sighed. Fate was being cruel to him. He thought that he could stay away from Wang Yibo for few hours if he gets to work but it seemed like God had other plans for him.

He was forced to stay with Wang Yibo for the next three days!

Xiao Zhan forwarded the message to Wen Ning saying that he did not have to come today and that he could take care of A-yaun as he had no work. He waited for Wen Ning's reply for a whole minute but not receiving any, he put off the phone.

"A-yaun, what do you want for lunch?" He asked playfully at the boy.

"Carrots." A-yaun replied.

"Alright then, my little boy will have carrots today!" Xiao Zhan exclaimed and fished out his phone to search through different carrot recipes for kids as he did not want to repeat the same every day.

He did not know how long it had passed and only when he heard the bathroom door click open, did he look up.

And there stood Wang Yibo, masculine and handsome as ever!

His hair was a little wet at the ends and the t-shirt was sticking to his body, probably it was still wet. Wang Yibo was drying his hair and realizing that Zhan's eyes were on him, he smiled at Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan instantly pulled his gaze away.

For some reason, he felt suffocated! His breath was rapid and his heart was thrumming!

He shouldn't feel this way! He shouldn't feel this way! He shouldn't feel this way! He shouldn't feel this way! He kept reciting but none worked.

His fingers felt itchy and he scraped the phone screen.

It was a normal omega reaction, he told himself, reasoning with himself.

He concentrated on A-yaun and finally, he was able to calm down himself.

 "Zhan Ge, your t-shirt is a little small on me." Yibo commented, taking a seat between A-yaun and Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan did not pay attention to his words and scrolled down the sane recipe on his phone, again and again.

"A-yaun, come to dada, he is all fresh now." Xiao Zhan did not look up and kept his eyes on phone while he heard A-yaun giggle.

A-yaun climbed on Yibo's lap and touched his wet hair.

"I should dry it." Yibo said touching his own hair. He ruffled his hair and drops of water fell on A-yaun which made laugh loud.

Wang Yibo, surprised by A-yaun's laugh, repeated his action and water drops fell on Zhan too. A-yaun laughed louder and ruffled Yibo's hair.

"You like it, huh?" Yibo too laughed, spraying his hair water on A-yaun.

Both of them kept on laughing and spraying to the point that Xiao Zhan got irritated and screamed.

"Wang Yibo!"

Xiao Zhan's voice was too loud that A-yaun flinched.

"You will make him sick!" Xiao Zhan snapped.

Wang Yibo had indeed forgotten that and realized that Xiao Zhan had a point. "I am sorry." He muttered.

"This is what you call as 'Co-parenting'?" Xiao Zhan went on. "You don't even know the reasons why a child would get sick. How could you even call yourself worthy of raising a child?"

Xiao Zhan did not know why he was speaking unnecessary things right now, in front of A-yaun. He remembered what Jiang Yanli had said earlier that morning, 'No fighting in front of A-yaun'.

He just could not bring himself to watch A-yaun giggling and laughing with Wang Yibo!

Xiao Zhan's words were very harsh and rude and Wang Yibo swallowed the lump on his throat. "I am sorry." He said once again.

"I don't need your sorry! Just leave me and my child alone!" Xiao Zhan barked.

"Zhan Ge, please... I was just playing with A-yaun. I didn't mean anything else."

"You don't have to mean anything, Wang Yibo! You being here is enough for us to feel terrible!"

"Zhan Ge, please... I am sorry for this and for everything. I am willing to change for you, into anything up want. I want to be a good husband and a father. Please, let me..."

"Wang Yibo, it is too late already." Xiao Zhan informed.

And just when he was about to spat another set of his harsh words, his phone rang. It was Jiang Cheng.

Xiao Zhan sighed, his brother had called him at the perfect timing.

"A-yaun, wait here. Mama will be back soon." Xiao Zhan patted the baby and walked into the room, phone in his hand.

Once Zhan left, Wang Yibo looked down at A-yaun who was still on his lap. He wiped his tears away.

"A-yaun, you forgive dada right?" He asked.

A-yaun nodded, sucking on one of his finger and touching Yibo's face with his other hand. Yibo took out A-yaun's finger from his mouth and wiped it off with the nearby napkin. He then wiped his tears away, put on a smile and asked the baby, "Dada is hungry. Shall we eat?"

"Eat." A-yaun said and Yibo kissed the baby on his cheek, put the baby down on the mat and took out food package from the bag that he had brought earlier.

He teared open the package and spread the food in front of A-yaun. There were three burgers, chips, and some other which he and Xiao Zhan used to eat before.

"Here," He said, feeding A-yaun a piece of burger. "Tasty, right?" He asked.

A-yaun looked at him on a daze and Yibo fed him another piece. A-yaun ate but he had tears in his eyes. "Do you like it, tell dada?" Wang Yibo cooed the baby but the boy shook his head, saying no.

Wang Yibo was confused then his eyes landed on the chips. With a grin on his face, he said, "You will surely like this."

He dipped the chip on the sauce until it was fully red, then fed A-yaun. The boy looked at him with teary eyes and before he could even say anything, the boy began to wail louder.
