" Father did you have dinner?" Ling asked.

Father Xie shook his head and said," No I didn't."

Ling smiled and said," Good you should eat with us then. I cooked."

" Ahh I would love to." Father Xie said.

" Dinner is almost ready." Ling said before walking inside the kitchen.

After sometime Yufan came out of the room.

" Father." Yufan said.

Gesturing him to sit beside him, father Xie said," It's a great apartment." 

Yufan cleared his throat and said," Yeah."

" So why didn't you come home yesterday?" Father Xie asked.

" I-"

" Running away won't help Yufan." Father Xie said in a very firm tone.

Yufan shook his head and said," Father it's nothing like that."

" It better not be what I am thinking Yufan. I don't want you to take that path no matter what and I won't hear any excuses. I want you to be a good boy and listen to what daddy says. Did you understand?" Father Xie asked.
