Chapter 72 - Definitely Mine, Right?!

* * *

Two Days Ago.

Luangmin is turning two in the next three days and Hanlu wanted to buy the perfect gift for his precious nephew. Because Luangmin isn't big enough to play high tech toys, Hanlu had trouble deciding what to buy. He especially skipped work just so he could find this perfect gift but who would have thought he would find something else.

As he was looking around for almost an hour now, he notices a little boy around 7-8 years old looking at a toy robot almost that is the same height as him. Hanlu wouldn't have been bothered by it but he was in the store long enough to know that the kid was there standing for almost 20 minutes.

Many people may not know but Mo Hanlu have a soft spot for kids. Hanlu approaches the little guy until he was standing next to him, he bends down his knees and took his sunglasses off.

"Do you want that?" Hanlu asked also looking at the bumblebee robot that's on its box.

The boy looked at Hanlu first, it took a couple of seconds before he finally responds. "Mommy said we can't afford it now." He shakes his head left and right after studying at the Alpha at his side. Hanlu just nods his head then glances at the little kid's hazel brown eyes.

"But you want it?" Hanlu asked smiling. The little kid slowly nods his head before looking down making Hanlu's heart ache for the kid. He believes kids deserve to have the toys they like if not often at least once in a while.

"Where is your mommy?" Hanlu asked again standing up.

"I sneaked away to come here." the little man mumbled guiltily at what he did causing Hanlu to laugh.

"Okay, If you trust this uncle. How about let's make a deal? I'll buy you this robot in exchange for you not sneaking away from your mommy again? Deal?" Hanlu bargained and took the robot as if tempting the little kid. After hearing Hanlu's offer, the little kid's eye sparkle while nodding his head aggressively.

Nodding in satisfaction, Hanlu immediately took the toy to the counter holding the little kid's hand.

"What's your name?" Hanlu asked taking his black card to pay the bill.

"Mommy said I shouldn't tell my name to strangers." The little kid replied making the Alpha laugh again.

"Okay, my name is Hanlu. You can call me uncle Hanlu and since I'm buying you this toy we're not strangers anymore, besides don't you think it's too late?"

"Hmmm yeah okay. My name is Lancel but mommy calls me Lan and I'm eight." the little man introduced himself. Hanlu nodded and showed him the toy robot.

"Okay little guy, I'll give you this toy when we find your mommy. Is that okay?" Lan nodded and lets the Alpha carry him. Just by how the kid easily trusted him, Hanlu was worried the kid would meet bad people one day.

Hanlu immediately thought of going to the mall's customer service department. The little kid had been missing for more than 20 minutes and he's sure the mother had been looking all over for him.

"Uncle, I wish you were my daddy" the little kid suddenly mumbled as he buries his face against Hanlu's neck. The moment the Alpha carried him, he remembered watching his classmate's dads carry them during father and son day in school where his mom would go all the time.

The little man can't help himself but feel jealous of the other kids who had a father, although he loves his mommy he still wishes he had a daddy as well.

"Woah stop there kid. Although I'm flattered to hear that, I'm not planning to marry someone anytime soon." Hanlu said. He felt sorry for the little guy but he just can't give him false hope, he would never hook up with someone who had a child.

"hmm, mommy is pretty scary sometimes. He's a policeman. A lot of uncles go to our house and I saw mommy punching some of them." the little kid told him and Hanlu once again laughed.

"Your mommy is pretty tough."

"Yeah mommy is." the little kid smiled towards the Alpha, proud of his mother. With this Hanlu instantly knew the kid really loves his mother and that warmed his heart. He remembered one particular person who's pretty tough as well and he couldn't help and smile at that.

As Hanlu continued to chat with the kid while still carrying him, someone suddenly rushed towards them and snatch the little kid away from him. It happened so quickly, Hanlu was dumbfounded.

"Lan, baby, did this weird man said something to you!? Did he hurt you? Are you okay? I told you not to run away. You promised not to worry mommy." The Omega said in a panic. He just took off his eyes of his son for a couple of seconds and he immediately disappeared.

He already looked all over the grocery store but he couldn't find him so he wanted to request to page a lost child but thankfully he found him. He just didn't expect that the person who would see him is the person he never wanted to know anything about the child's existence.

"Hmmm, I'm sorry, mommy. Uncle bought me the robot I wanted. He didn't hurt me." the little guy apologized and explained looking at the floor in guilt. He just wanted to see the toy he wanted since he knew his mommy can't afford it. he was planning to go back immediately.

Looking at his obviously guilty son, the Omega quickly softens and hugged him in relief. He was confident his son was smart enough not to follow strangers.

Meanwhile, Hanlu who was still shocked from the moment the kid was snatched away from him, to the moment he saw the Omega. Hanlu stared at the two in shock. He never knew the Omega he had been sleeping with for the longest time now already had a son.

They had been constantly seeing each other and in fact, they were just together a few days ago. Hanlu couldn't think of the time when the Omega had gotten himself pregnant. If he was, he would have definitely noticed it, right!? He thought the Omega was too busy with his job to even take care of a kid.

"I didn't know you had a son. Is he perhaps adopted!?" Hanlu thoughtlessly asked but was stopped by the Omega through his glares. The Omega didn't say anything and just lifted his son ready to walk away.

"Hey answer me. When did you get pregnant? He's eight years old, you're still in the University at that time. Who's the father!?" Hanlu bombards him with questions but as soon as these questions came out of his mouth, Hanlu suddenly went quiet thinking of the time frame and his relationship with the Omega.

Eight Years ago?! The Omega had just graduated then. They were in a physical relationship for 3 years and then suddenly...

"Don't you dare think you asshole. Stop thinking." the Omega yelled desperate to stop the Alpha from thinking but it was too late. Hanlu looked at the Omega and the little kid in shock like his eyes were going to pop out of his eyes.

"D-don't tell me he's mine. That time when you suddenly said you were going abroad. You were there for a year. I can't think of the time when you're in pregnancy except at that time." Hanlu guessed, he wondered why that time the Omega said he was leaving and then returned a year later.

Was this the reason why? Because Hanlu got him pregnant?! He knew he was not the only person Hanlu was sleeping with so he left without saying anything?!

"N-No you're wrong. I-I don't have time for this, we need to go home now. Bye."

"No this kid is definitely mine, right? I was your first man and you never dated anyone aside from me. Now that I think about it, doesn't Lan looked just like me!? Even his eye color is mine." Hanlu said looking at the blueish grey eyes of the Omega.

Hanlu didn't know why he was even insisting that the kid was his but it didn't sound bad to him.

"Mommy why are you yelling at uncle!?" Lan asked confused as he watches the couple argues about him.

"I'm not yelling baby, this weird man just have trouble hearing. I'm just being considerate." the Omega explained making Hanlu raise his eyebrow.

"Hey, that's nasty. Tell me the truth now or I'll dig up the truth myself." Hanlu threatened, he was very confident in his skills in digging up secrets. He's sure he'll find the truth in no time.

"No, he's not yours so if you'll just excuse us? We need to go home." the Omega rush wanting to escape the area so Hanlu thought of something and pulled the Omega close to him while he was still cradling his son.

"Lan, you said you wanted me to be your daddy right!? Well, now I think I'm your real daddy. No. I'm a hundred percent sure I'm your daddy." Hanlu said lightening the little kid's expression while making the Omega gloomy. He quickly pulled away from Hanlu glared at him who does whatever he wants.

"Really? I have a real daddy, Mommy?" Lan asked with his eyes wide open both surprise and excitement. The Omega watched his son, he didn't have the courage to deny his son or confirm.

Seeing that the Omega hadn't replied to his son, Hanlu quickly intervenes. He knew the Omega quite well, and he knew when he's uncomfortable with something.

"Yeah, from now on, you have a real daddy," Hanlu said smiling snatching Lan from the Omega while he shoves the toy to him in a teasing manner.

"Daddy really felt sorry for not being with you all these years, so from now on you can ask me whatever you want, anything and daddy will give it to you. Okay!?" Hanlu said dotingly. Although he was shocked, he was surprisingly happy that he had a son since he already like children.

However, minus the fact that the Omega now was staring at him like a Shinigami waiting for his last breath so he could take his soul to hell.

"Really daddy!? Can daddy come to my school from now on? My classmates always tease me because I only have Mommy. If daddy comes to my school, they won't tease me anymore." Hearing what their son had said, both Hanlu and the Omega frown. This is the first time the Omega had heard this so he immediately held his son's arm and asked with a worried expression.

Lan had always been a good kid, he's responsible enough at his age, he was smart and top in his class, he had lots of friends to play with, and girls at his class even like him so much that the Omega didn't expect to hear this from his son.

Lan is that true!? You didn't tell this to mommy. Did your classmates hurt you, please tell mommy." the Omega desperately. He never thought his son would become a subject for bullying just because he only have one parent.

"hmmm, they only hurt me one time but teacher scold them so now they only say mean things to me and hide my stuff," Lan explained. Only four of his classmates didn't like him for a reason he didn't know but Lan only ignores them. When he had missing things in his bag, his other classmates were always willing to help him so Lan didn't feel sad.

"Is that why sometimes mommy can't find your pencil, or your crayons and the pencil case?" The Omega asked earning a nod from his son. The moment his son nod, the Omega covered his mouth and prevent himself from crying.

"Okay, I'll come. Let's show those bullies you have an awesome dad like me." Hanlu said hugging the little kid and then slightly frowned at the Omega before pulling him into a hug as well.
