Chapter 71 - Two Years Later,

* * *

Two months after Daniel's 20th birthday celebration, sudden news was secretly sent to Laotian. The piece of news stated that Daniella Sullen was found out pregnant and weeks later tried to commit suicide by miscarriage, but she not so successful. She was immediately rescued sending her to the police clinic, however, her baby was not so lucky.

Knowing such a sensitive topic, Laotian decided to keep the information hidden. Aside from not wanting to trigger Daniel, he wouldn't want any possible reason for the woman to gain sympathy from the public.

Slowly Daniella had become insane, he was transferred to a special mental facility where she was in surveillance 24/7. And half a year later, she was like a soulless body, only living for the drugs injected to her body.

Meanwhile, Daniel and Laotian's grand wedding ceremony had just finished. It happened on June 8th like planned, and like what Mo Chendong had said, everyone was invited. It was considered the grandest wedding ceremony in the history of the Mo Household and to the country where even aristocrats and royalties had attended.

It was the most lavish day of Daniel, he didn't expect people from around the world would attend his wedding day. He also didn't expect Laotian had so much affiliation with different kinds of people. Even though he already knows that he married a billionaire, at that very moment, he felt overwhelmed. So many big names in one venue.

That day was very unforgettable, not only because it was his wedding day but also because that day, he finally decided to forgive his biological father. They were not very close, they only exchange small greetings and a couple of smiles but Daniel was happy that at least he's now okay with one of his biological parents.

His uncle and cousins also treated him nicer but Daniel decided to not get too close, as per Laotian's suggestion especially that he's the largest shareholder in the Sullen Corporation. He was not trustful enough to let his wife talk to his greedy relatives even though it was good that they're finally working their relationship.

After the wedding celebration, Daniel, Laotian, and Luangmin, spent another week in a vacation just within the country. Just like that two years had passed without a problem. Luangmin was about to turn two and Daniel was finally considering going back to college.

"Oh!? Welcome back," Daniel greeted surprised after the Alpha walked-in in the bathroom. Daniel is currently playing in the bathtub with Luangmin and did not realize the Alpha had arrived from work.

"hmm, I'm home," Laotian replied walking closer to the Omega and Luangmin before throwing his suit to the hamper to give both a kiss. Luangmin smiled after seeing his daddy had arrived and reached out his arms for the Alpha to lift him which Laotian did without being bothered getting himself wet.

"dada, wewcome home." Luangmin welcomed his daddy, he couldn't talk properly yet and his words were still limited. But it was the cutest ever whenever he tried to talk.

"Were you good to mommy today?" Laotian asked reaching the towel at the side to wrap his small body. Thankfully though Luangmin is 3 months premature he is growing quite normally like other normal kids. Miraculously, he also doesn't have any serious health problems. Although he had trouble standing up and walking, for now, his pediatrician said it will only be a matter of time.

"uhmm, minmin good." the little man replied showing his small teeth perfectly lining earning a pat on his head from the Alpha.

"You're early today." Daniel gets off of the bathtub wrapping his n.a.k.e.d body with a silk bathrobe.

"hmmm, I wanted to see you as soon as possible." He had been busy with work and finally today he could go home early. Laotian pulled Daniel into his arms wrapping his slender h.i.p.s against his body, whenever he sees his wife n.a.k.e.d, he could not help himself from getting his hands on it.

*chuckles* "by the way, mother called me earlier, she wanted us to come with her tomorrow for food tasting," Daniel informed pinching the Alpha's hands and taking Luangmin with him outside where both his and Luangmin's clothes are prepared on the bed. In a few days, Luangmin will be turning two years old.

Daniel and Laotian wanted a simple celebration like the previous one with only the direct family were invited but this time, the Elder's insisted to have a grand celebration for their grandson.

So although the couple was a little uncomfortable another huge celebration, they let the elders do what they wanted since they could not do it when Luangmin turned one and it's not every day they could spoil and see Luangmin after the couple decided to live separately coming back from their one week vacation.

"I'd rather spend my day with you alone if I'm not working," Laotian replied as if it was too troublesome. In the first place, he doesn't even want to host a huge party again where people's only goal is to climb up to the Mos good side.

"If you don't want to, you can go and talk to your mom," Daniel replied which caused Laotian to sigh looking at the mother and son. Although Laotian looks like he could defy his parents, in reality, he really couldn't, especially when the two are determined to do something.

Forcing him into a blind date against his will before was one of them. He was even drugged just so he could hook up with someone thankfully he ended up with Daniel.

"I'll clear my schedule tomorrow." Laotian sigh again unbuttoning his sleeves which had been soak wet by Luangmin earlier.

"Just think of it as a holiday, okay?" Actually Daniel was glad his mother-in-law invited them because he was worried the Alpha was working too much recently. He's tired from work but he would still help him take care of Luangmin when he's at home and also be able to make love with him. Plus, he's 37 already. Daniel was afraid Laotian wouldn't be able to keep up.

In reality, Daniel just doesn't know that the Alpha relieved his stress and fatigue with his s.e.x.u.a.l activity, that's why they have been very active.

"If I missed out on a good investor, how will you compensate me?" Laotian whispered against the Omega's ear after wrapping his arms around Daniel's waist again. Daniel just finished putting diapers on Luangmin when he's suddenly pulled to his husband's body.

Luangmin after seeing this, he frowned at his father for suddenly snatching the Omega from him. So while his father was latching on his mother's neck, the little man slowly crawled down of the bed and slowly toddles towards the two and started climbing up his father's leg when he finally reached them without falling.

". . ." Laotian lets go of Daniel feeling his son against his leg. The Daniel looked at the Alpha's leg seeing Luangmin with his teary bunny eyes obviously upset that his father snatched his mommy.

"dada.. no.. mommy," Luangmin finally cried. Laotian who was looking at his son as well suddenly felt his headache coming as he leaned down and lifted the crying baby on his arms.

"Shhhh okay, dada won't do it again. " Daniel cooed the little man from crying as he giggles looking at the frustrated Alpha.

Laotian's foresight had really come true, his son really did become a huge impediment between him and Daniel.

This wasn't just the first time Luangmin did it, the little man didn't like the two kissing or cuddled up with each other without him in between. Laotian can only kiss his wife when Luangmin wasn't looking or sleeping cause when he sees the two together. he would start crying for leaving him out.

"I won't do it again," Laotian said kissing his son's forehead, he then quickly covered his eyes and kissed Daniel on his lips while he was not on guard before passing the little guy on his arms.

"I'll go have a quick shower," he whispered mischievously viewing at his wife's reddish cheeks. Daniel was left pouting at how sneaky Laotian has become.

After the Alpha took a shower, they ate their dinner as usual and watched TV in the living room before deciding to call it a day. But as they were preparing themselves for the bed, Luangmin stayed upset with his father that he ended up not sleeping in his crib. He stayed attached to his mother and it wasn't till midnight that the Alpha had a chance to move Luangmin into his crib so he could cuddle with Daniel.

In the morning, Daniel woke up early because he's the one who makes breakfast.

This was now their daily routine after moving back to their own house.

Every morning, Daniel would wake up early to make breakfast before Luangmin and Laotian wake up so then when he climbs up again, Luangmin will wake up with the Alpha. Sometimes the three of them take a bath together but mostly it would be just Laotian and Daniel's only private moment.

After the shower and breakfast, Laotian would leave for work, Daniel and Luangmin will play the whole morning then takes afternoon naps and wait for the Alpha to come home for dinner.

Sometimes Daniel lets Luangmin play alone while he sketches or paints him. When Laotian comes home at 7 pm they would eat dinner or sometimes they go outside to eat. It's very simple but Daniel and Laotian were happy with their peaceful life.

Both were satisfied with it, and since Luangmin is now two, Daniel could go back to school again to continue his degree in arts. Daniel has always dreamt of becoming a famous artist that inspires other people to pursue their dreams in arts.

He wanted to let people know that being passionate about arts is also an award-winning job and so they shouldn't discriminate it. Laotian of course who dotes on his wife would definitely support him in reaching his goals life.

"Good morning." As Daniel was frying some bacon, Laotian suddenly hugged him from the back. The Alpha kissed his nape before resting his chin above Daniel's shoulder.

"You surprised me. Is Minmin still asleep?"

"Hmmm, Sound asleep."

"Okay, I'm almost done here so let's eat first, you go pick Minmin up," Daniel whispered to the Alpha before kissing him on his cheeks. Laotian hummed obediently but he didn't leave and instead stay at his position and now putting his naughty palms inside his wife's clothes. Daniel giggled at the act and slightly pinched Laotian at his side forcing him to go.

However as the two were cuddling, a gloomy person suddenly appeared at the doorway looking at the couple with a lifeless gaze.

As soon as Laotian noticed the person, he unconsciously grabs Daniel tighter pulling him away from the stove to his side, startled at Mo Hanlu's sudden appearance. It was only 5 in the morning but Hanlu was there looking at them aimlessly. Daniel, after Laotian pulled him to the side, he realized Hanlu was also there and almost frightened to death. He thought someone just infiltrated the mansion.

"What are you doing here!?" Laotian questioned loosening his grip on Daniel. Hanlu didn't immediately respond but after a couple of seconds he finally started to talk.

"I-I" Hanlu stuttered.

". . ."

"You what!" The elder Alpha asked impatiently. Daniel just silently turn off the stove before listening back to Hanlu.

"E-eight!!"

"Eight!?" Daniel asked confused while Laotian just frowned.

"I-I had an e-eighth-year-old son!!" Hanlu finally blurted out falling into the floor causing Daniel to be surprised. Laotian on the other hand remained unmoved.

"Eight-year-old son!? " Daniel probed surprised and happy at the same time.

"And he looks exactly like me." Hanlu nodded frustrated. He never thought he had a secret son for eight years now. He never thought that going to a mall the other day would cause him this. He couldn't even complain to the mother, he kept begging for the Omega to let him see his son but the man just wouldn't let him.

He even threatens to move far away from him with his son. Ever since he couldn't think straight, although he doesn't like the thought of being a parent and getting married, he also thought maybe it wasn't that bad looking at his elder brother being so happy with his married life.

"I wouldn't be surprised." After being silent Laotian finally said. In all honesty, the Alpha already thought of this a long time ago but he never really imagined it would happen since he knew Hanlu was a careful man. All men and women related to his younger brother knew that as well.

"Brother you're so mean!!! This really shocked me to the core. What do I do!? I asked him to marry me but he refused." Hanlu cried, he now didn't know what to do. He just suddenly became a parent of an eight-year-old child.

Even though the Omega didn't say the child was his, he already knows it was. Analyzing at the time frame and the physical appearance of the child, it's already 90% chance the child is his. And the fact that he knew he was the Omega's first man and always been his man added the fact that the child is definitely Hanlu's.

"Well, I think he made the right choice," Daniel commented analyzing on the other person's point of view. Hanlu was definitely not a man to go for in terms of having a family. It will definitely be a difficult path to go through.

"huhuhu, you two are bullying me."

"Those two will be glad to hear this," Laotian said not caring anymore and just hugged Daniel from the back to cuddle again. Hanlu seeing this, rolled his eyes.

"NO!! If mom finds out she'll kill me. You don't know how scary she is when she's really angry. Imagining her reaction finding out I had an eighter-year-old illegitimate son makes me shiver." Hanlu fretted as he stood up from the floor. He hugged himself and slightly shiver at his own thought.

"This is your problem Hanlu, solve it yourself." Laotian frowned now starting to get irritated at his younger brother's immature behavior.

"b-but I can't. This is the first time this happened to me."

"Be thankful this is the first time and hoping to be the only time. Everybody knows you like to play around so it wouldn't be a surprise you had an illegitimate child without you knowing. It just surprising the other person rejected you. What did you do!?" Daniel commented again rubbing Laotian hair who's face is buried against his neck.

"I don't know. I was always nice to him." Hanlu thought, and Daniel rolled his eyes already knowing the reason why.

"Tomorrow is Minmin's birthday, how about you invite them to the party and surprise mother and father." Daniel ignored what Hanlu just said and came up with a great idea. He's curious about what kind of person would reject Mo Hanlu.

Although Hanlu is a playboy, he is very sweet and caring, it won't be difficult to love him plus he's also a billionaire, a very capable man. Laotian even once said to him that if Hanlu had the slightest interest in succeeding the Mo Empire, he could actually do it if he fights for his right. But since he's so lazy and doesn't have an interest in having more money, he ended up his slave instead.

"He won't even let me see my son much more invite them," Hanlu replied frustratingly. He really wanted to see his son but the Omega would threaten him into either shooting him with a gun or moving away that's why he went to his older brother's house to ask help but he didn't expect the two to be so cuddly even early in the morning.
