Chapter 198 - We have no secrets between us

When Kong Xianwang's eyes fell on Mai Minghui, he respectfully nodded to him.

But on the other hand, Mai Yuerui immediately scooted down to hide her face.

She was embarrassed that her father had witnessed such a scene.

-----

She looked at Xianwang as if stabbing him with her glare and whispered, "I didn't tell you to behave shamelessly in front of my dad. Aish.... Only God knows, what he is thinking now."

Xianwang leaned to her a little and whispered her back, "Your Dad asked for it. He is suspicious of us. So I have to show him how affectionate we are." His eyebrows danced mischievously as he replied to her.

"You are impossible." Mai Yuerui rolled her eyes.

"Do you wanna stay here like this forever? Let's go out and greet my father-in-law." Having said that Kong Xianwang came out of his car and Mai Yuerui silently followed him like an obedient child.

--------

"Hello, Mr. Mai. Nice to meet you " Xianwang said in a clear voice as he raised his hands towards Mai Minghui to shake hands.

'What is this guy doing? Is he here to make a deal?' Mai Yuerui thought as she looked at him in disbelief.

She pulled the corner of his sleeves and beckoned him to bow.

"Why?" Xianwang whispered.

"Because he is your father-in-law." She also whispered back to him.

"O.."

"Greetings, Father-in-law. It's so nice to meet you." Xianwang said as he immediately bowed at 90° angle.

"Mmm..." Mai Minghui said only.

"D... Dad... What are you doing here?"

"I should be the one asking you that? What are you doing here? Didn't you say you are married to this guy?" Mai Minghui asked her back.

"..."

Before Yuerui could say anything Kong Xianwang butted in.

"Yes. Father-in-law is right. You should live with me, Mai Yuerui."

"Did I ask you? I asked my daughter." But he immediately got scolded by his father-in-law.

Seeing the dumbfounded face of Xianwang, Mai Yuerui chuckled in her mind.

"Dad, even though we are married, it is a secret. People don't know about this yet. So how can we stay together?"

"Why does it have to be a secret? Did you commit any crime? Is he already married with someone else? Are you his mistress?" Mai Minghui's face started to become ugly with every sentence.

"No, father-in-law. This is the first and last marriage in my life." Xianwang immediately denied.

Hearing him Mai Yuerui looked at him in a surprise while Xianwang only smiled at her in return.

"If that's the case then what's with this so called drama? By the way, does his parents know that you two got married?" Mai Minghui asked.

"Well..." Mai Yuerui was about to say but Xianwang covered for her saying,"They also got to know about it yesterday."

"Huh!!!" Mai Minghui couldn't believe what he just heard.

These two brats got married on their own and didn't inform their parents. What do they think of their parents? Are they devil? Will they not approve their marriage?

Mai Minghui controlled his shocked expression and said, "Since you two got married there's nothing we can do now. But since you are married now you have to make it public and start to live together. It doesn't look good when newlyweds stay separately."

"But we can't just say it all of a sudden to the media. It will create problem. We have to go slow." Mai Yuerui retaliated.

"You didn't think of getting slow while getting married. So why this nonsense now? Mai Yuerui, you either go and live with your in-laws or forget this brat and return with me." Mai Minghui ordered.

"Then I'll go with him." Mai Yuerui immediately replied in low voice as she tried to hide behind her new husband.

"You better not decieve your parents, Mai Yuerui. We only want the best for you." Mai Minghui said sternly.

"We are really married, Dad." Mai Yuerui replied while still trying to hide behind Xianwang.

"Oh... This girl of mine." Mai Minghui was exhausted as he pinched the skin between his brows.

"By the way, Mr. Mai, you have completely wrong idea about me. I am not what you are thinking. I really love your daughter and hope to protect her for the rest of my life." Xianwang said firmly to Mai Minghui.

Seeing the spirit in Xianwang's eyes Mai Minghui didn't say anything.

"Mai Yuerui, since this man claims that he loves you then you should move in."

"But, Dad!"

"What? But? You are already married. So you should stay with your husband."

'It seems like I have to listen to him. But it's too early. How can I manage?' Yuerui thought.

"Okay. But I need a week at least." She replied to her Dad.

"1 week! There is nothing in this place that you need to take with you. Then why do you need 1 week?"

"That's my business. And I need 1 week." Yuerui said firmly.

Mai Minghui thought for a minute then replied calmly, "Very well. Then Sophi is staying here."

Suddenly Sohpie emerged from the shadows.

'Is she a ninja? She suddenly popped up from nowhere.' Yuerui thought.

"But..." Yuerui tried to say something.

"You want to stay for a week, that's your choice. And it's my order that Sophie will stay here until you leave this place."

Before leaving, Mai Minghui stopped beside Xianwang and whispered in his ears, "Just because I am sending my daughter with you doesn't mean that I trust you. You better not disappoint me. Or else.... I have my plans for you."

Having said that Mai Minghui left.

Kong Xianwang didn't reply to him. But after he left his lips curved into a smile.

"What did he tell you?" Mai Yuerui asked.

"Nothing. Let's go, I will help you upstairs." Saying so Xianwang held Yuerui by her waist intentionally so that Sophie can see that and went for the elevator leaving Sophie at the garage alone.

-----------

When the elevator reached the floor of Mai Yuerui's apartment, they went out. But to their surprise, they saw Han Yefang standing at Mai Yuerui's door.

Seeing him standing at Mai Yuerui's door, Kong Xianwang's face darkened.

'Does he not have a home? Why is he always standing outside her door?' Xianwang thought.

But he didn't say anything. He wanted to see how Mai Yuerui will react.

"Mr. Han. Do you not have any place to stay? You always seem to stand outside my house. If people finds out, then it will not be good for my image." Mai Yuerui taunted.

Xianwang chuckled inwardly.

'That's my wife.' somehow Xianwang felt proud.

But Han Yefang completely ignored her taunting and said indifferently, "I have something to talk with you."

Mai Yuerui immediately held Xianwang's arms and replied, "I am sorry, Mr. Han. As you can see, I am busy now. Besides, this is not office. And I suppose we don't have anything to talk about other then work. So please...." Mai Yuerui waved her other hand to show him the way out wearing a fake smile on her face.

Han Yefang knew that Mai Yuerui would behave like this. He looked at Kong Xianwang and said, "Mr. Kong, will you leave us for a moment. It's something personal."

Xianwang creased his brows a little. He looked at Mai Yuerui. He wanted to read her expression to know what she wanted.

And by the way Mai Yuerui was holding his coat, he understood that she didn't want him to leave.

Kong Xianwang leisurely held Mai Yuerui's waist and pulled her closer to him.

"I think Mai Yuerui has made herself clear." He replied coldly.

"Then I suppose I have to talk in front of him. Is that what you want, Yuerui?" Han Yefang said.

"....."

Even though Mai Yuerui knew that Xianwang is clever enough to understand that there is something going on between her and Han Yefang but she still was not ready to let him witness their conversation.

So before Han Yefang could say anything, Mai Yuerui removed Xianwang's hand from her waist and said, "I think you should leave, Mr. Han."

"But..."

"I don't want to hear anything from you. Why don't you understand? It's over!" Yuerui didn't want to hear anything from him.

Han Yefang sighed a little and prepared to leave.

As he walked passed them suddenly Kong Xianwang said, "Please, don't waste your time on Mr. Mai. It's useless."

Han Yefang looked at Xianwang in surprise then turned his gaze to the surprised Yuerui.

"Did you tell him?" He asked her.

Before Yuerui could reply, Xianwang looked at Han Yefang coldly and replied, "We have no secrets between us."

Han Yefang didn't reply to him and walked away from the place.
