my lovely little darling

At the Zhao's Mansion

......

Xander was in his large room which had a grey and wide motif, and tall book shelf, there was barely any decoration in his room apart from a single picture frame on his bed stand. He was working on his laptop but he couldn't focus well has he continuously remembered the intriguing new female classmate of his, he remembered seeing her face fleetingly and he noticed she was a very gorgeous and cute female specie, with her cat shaped eyes and deep brown irises was breathtaking and her rosy pink thin lips which were... "Wait what I'm I thinking " Xander said to himself as he tapped his already flushed face. He had seen countless of beautiful ladies but none of them had caught his attention even in the slightest bit, he was unapproachable and cold especially to women who tried to throw themselves on him and blatantly ignored them.

 Xander wondered why he held her after colliding with him and even talk to her because the usually him will either dodge or push her away but he couldn't. Xander struggled to finish his work before going to bed, he couldn't wait for the next to come so he could see her again and find out why he was acting strangely towards her.

 The long awaited morning came, Xander went down the large staircase and went towards kitchen where he saw his mother ordering the maids in the kitchen to bring this or that , she is the only he loves most in this large and toxic family apart from his youngest cousin sister and maybe his father , his other cousin were either bullying or pranking him when he was younger since he was usually left in the care of his grandfather, who was his mentor and guide towards becoming the heir of their large family corporation. unfortunately any time his grandfather left to deal with some business his cousins will sought him out and look for a way to trouble him or land him trouble.

 Like this one time when Zhao Meili one of his cousin sister broke a very expensive vase which was owned by their grandfather and readily put the blame on him when their grandfather arrived he was punished greatly because the vase was cherished greatly by the old man , when Xander's mom came back and saw her son kneeling outside and a gloomy weather was visible as if it was about to rain an heavy storm, she quickly took her son to his room and angrily told her husband to make sure her son never gets punished like this or else she'll leave the mansion with her son, her husband Zhao Zihao who was also furious went to his father study after knowing what had really happened and sternly told his father not to punish his son unjustly and threatened that he will leave the mansion if anything bad could happen to his soon, the old man who knows of Xander's fearsome capabilities couldn't push him away so he adhered to his son's warning and made sure nothing happened to Xander.

 Though Xander was no longer a bullying victim of his cousins he had to be fully cautious of all of them including his uncles and aunts since all the branch of the family were fighting to lead the huge family corporation .

 Stella turned and flashed her son a smile and gave him a quick wink with her deep blue eyes when he greeted her from behind the kitchen counter. His mother Ming Stella was a stunning beauty even in her late 40's with her beautiful light brown hair and blue eyes which was due to her mixed race, her father was from country C and her mother whom she inherited her features from was from a prestigious family in country U.

 "Son eat your meal before going to school" Stella said as she ruffled his hair when he sat down on one of the stool, "Mom, I'm no longer a child " Xander whined but didn't stop his mother since he couldn't deny the warmth he felt from her gentle touch.

......

 "Bye Mum" Xander said to his mother who also waved at him as he walked out of the kitchen, he saw his father and grandfather who were discussing some matters in the receiving room, he gave them a slight bow as a greeting and his father returned it with a nod, "You've spoilt your son to much" the Old Master said as he shook his head at the curt greeting of his annoying grandson who walked away after his so called greeting, Zihao didn't comment and continued what he was saying. "Like father like son " the old man muttered to himself.
