Chapter 153 - Du Mansion Party (19)

After DX sent every guest off at the foyer, he went back to West Garden and saw his wife standing in the middle of the dance circle. As usual, his competent group of staff had cleared everything except for the fairy lights that were hanging on the trees.

As he slowly made his way over to her, he could hear a piece of soft music coming from the phone in her hand. When she winked and gestured for him to come to her, DX smirked.  

When he got there, he gently pulled his wife into a hug while inwardly scolding his unborn son for being so fat, causing him to be unable to hug his wife tighter. "Why are you still here, wife?" 

She looked up at him and giggled before saying, "I didn't get to dance earlier, or do anything... Now that there's no one here, I want a dance with my handsome husband..." 

With a wide smile, DX placed his hand behind her lower back while they moved around softly. 

"Kara... You're even more beautiful today than yesterday... Ah, what am I supposed to do when you get prettier and prettier every day..." 

Kai Xin smiled and rested her head against her husband's chest as she mumbled, "You haven't called me by that name for a long time now..." 

"Mhmm..." DX placed a kiss on the top of her head and said softly, "You'll always be my Kara..."

"DX..." 

"Hmm..." 

"What do you think of Angela and Xiao Lei?" 

Placing his head on top of his wife's head, he thought for a while before replying, "Nothing about the former. Too softspoken... Boring... Xiao Lei... I thought she's going to be more trouble than she's worth, but she ended up showing me something interesting... I didn't expect her to talk back to that woman..." 

Kai Xin nodded. "I was surprised since she looked like she was someone who would get easily riled up, especially after what happened earlier."

"Han Ye probably talked to her after that..." 

Kai Xin smirked as she asked, "Hey, do you think that Han Ye likes Xiao Lei?"  

"Who knows..." 

"I don't know. I feel like there's something between those two. They keep looking at each other... But he was dancing with Angela earlier and he even kissed her... However, his eyes were on Xiao Lei constantly... He even carried her up like that in front of the woman he likes! I'm so confused." 

DX frowned and whispered, "Don't keep thinking about another man's problem." 

"Then what should I think about?"

"Your man's problem, of course..." 

"What problem?" 

"Little Monkey is sleeping in her room tonight..." DX mumbled as he pressed the hardened part of him against her belly. He then placed a soft kiss on her lips and whispered, "It's been a while..."

Hearing the longing in her husband's voice, Kai Xin laughed and nodded. It had been a while since they last did it, and she herself had been craving for his touch for a while then. With a wink, she pressed a hand against her husband's chest as she said, "My dear husband, if you can carry me up to our room, then I'll grant you your wish... We have to go slow, but-" 

"No problem!" he interrupted her before she could finish her words. With a smirk, he said a low voice, "You've rested well tonight, so you don't need any more rest." 

The moment he finished the word "rest", he placed one of her arms around his shoulders and carried her up in one swoop. "I might be older than Han Ye, but I can also carry my wife. He's so wobbly when he was carrying that Xiao Lei earlier." 

Kai Xin laughed at her husband's antics, to which her husband replied with a loving smile. He loved to hear the sound of her laughter, and he would do anything to protect this beautiful melody for the rest of his life.  

Once she got settled, she then looked up at him and asked in a hushed tone, "How fast can you get me n.a.k.e.d?" 

"2 minutes..." DX promised as he started to walk toward the house, fast!

...

Back at their place, Han Ye watched as Xiao Lei limped over to the lift with the help of a purple crutch while he parked his car. Once he was done parking his car, he quickly locked his door and went into the lift where they were waiting for him. 

"Are you sure you don't want to go to the hospital?" he asked while looking at her intently.

Even though she tried her best to keep calm, it was obvious that the pain got to her earlier when he helped her to massage her ankle. She did not shout, but the sweat running down her forehead was an indication of her condition. 

After he helped her bandage her ankle with a new elastic bandage, she refused to let him help her further. 

Even now, when Xiao Lei heard Han Ye's question, she merely looked up at him and shook her head. "Don't waste the money. It's just a sprain." 

"If the swelling doesn't go down by tomorrow, you're going to the hospital... even if I have to drag you there myself." 

Xiao Lei rolled her eyes and didn't say anything. She felt bad earlier for ruining Han Ye's date. 

"Hey... Angela Zhang..." 

Han Ye shook his head and interuptted her by saying kindly, "Don't worry about her. Angela is not a petty-minded person. She's like Yuexue, a kind-hearted person. She knows what is more important."

Xiao Lei wanted to say "I doubt it", but she kept her mouth shut. There were certain things that he had to see for himself. If she were to say anything bad about the woman he liked, he would definitely end up disliking her. 

While holding his mother's clutch bag, Xiao Zhihao frowned while looking at Han Ye's back. However, he did not say anything. 

When the lift stopped at their floor and the door opened wide, Han Ye told Lu Ziyan and Xiao Zhihao to walk in front while he walked at the back with Xiao Lei. 

"But..." Xiao Zhihao glanced at his mother and then at her foot.

"It's fine, go," Xiao Lei said with a smile. "I can still walk. Don't think of me as a weakling." 

Lu Ziyan was in front, followed by Xiao Zhihao. However, after taking a few steps forward, Xiao Zhihao turned around and looked up at Han Ye.

Narrowing his eyes at Han Ye, he then said in a threatening tone, "Don't bully my mum again!" 

"Huh?" Han Ye glanced down at Xiao Zhihao. He was confused by what the boy said earlier. With a curious expression, he asked, "When did I bully her?" 

"You were mean to her earlier!" Xiao Zhihao snapped. "At the party!" 

"Oh..." Once he realized what was happening, Han Ye laughed softly. "I was just joking with your mum..." 

"I don't like it. I don't care if it's really a normal boss and employee relationship, so don't do it. She's a woman, not your joke machine," Xiao Zhihao snarled before turning around sharply and walking back to his house. 

While Xiao Zhihao was keying in the password into his own house, Han Ye murmured to Xiao Lei, "Your son is scarier than I thought..."

Nodding, Xiao Lei chuckled and said, "He's protective like his dad... If my husband were at the party earlier and if he heard your words, he'd break all your bones. They aren't the joking type."

"Thankfully, you are..." Han Ye smiled while looking at her. 

"Oh yeah... You reminded me of something..." Xiao Lei said while smiling back at him. 

"What?" Han Ye asked, oblivious of what he was about to receive.

Without any warning, Xiao Lei used one of her purple crutches and hit Han Ye's left leg with it. 

"Argh!" Han Ye yelled and jumped on his right leg as he rubbed his injured left leg. "Really now?! Have you added 'don't hit your boss' rule into that rulebook? If not, do it!" 

"We are off working hours," Xiao Lei said with a smirk before slowly making her way back to her unit where her son was waiting by the door.   

Han Ye groaned and walked over with a slight limp. "Xiao Lei!" he called out before she closed the door. 

"What's wrong?" Xiao Lei asked. "I didn't hit you that hard."

"No, I forgot to do something..." Han Ye said. 

When Xiao Lei looked at him while raising an eyebrow, he reached over and patted her head as he said, "Good job for not getting angry earlier... You've learned well."

"I. Am. Not. A. Kid." Xiao Lei blushed and pushed his hand away. "I'm going to sleep, bye." 

"Don't forget to ice your ankle!" Han Ye said before she closed the door on him.
