Because I Cannot Hurt You

The next day, in Han Corps, Zhiyuan received an invitation for the Annual Business Summit where all corporations from small to medium scale businesses gathered together. It was nothing but just a method for all the professionals and business owners to network with one another. It was an extremely useful get together for the CEO's and young, talented entrepreneurs to form connections.

'It's tonight. At seven PM," Zhiyuan said.

The assistant nodded. "Yes, Sir."

In the invitation, it was also said that the businessmen could also bring their families along with them.

He smiled. "Siying will be thrilled. He was just telling me today how bored he felt at home."

Then he scratched his chin. "Though I am not sure if he wouldn't be bored in a business gathering between grown-ups," he sighed.

His assistant chuckled. "Children can find fun anywhere, Boss."

"That's true too," he laughed. "Well then I will call Xinyi and inform her about today's event."

He got a call from Liang who was sobbing on the other end. "Zhiyuan, you are coming to the Summit, right?"

"Yeah but why are you crying?"

"Ugh I feel bored at these banquets. If you and Xiaosi will be there, I won't be so bored anymore. Also, don't bring Siying."

"Huh? Why?"

"Because I am bringing Leina with me too! Of course, Ah Cy will be there with me as well. I don't want your son hovering like a busy bee near my precious daughter!"

He grimaced. "You and your possessiveness."

"Hah! You would only understand my feelings when you have a daughter one day!"

Zhiyuan's thoughts automatically went to think about Liu Jun who had constantly been calling him as his father-in-law. His gaze darkened. "I guess I already understand your feelings."

"What?"

"Nothing. Don't be unreasonable. Of course, I will bring Siying with me."

"Damn it! I am telling you, if he flirts with my precious daughter, our friendship is over!"

*Dingggg*

He hung up.

Zhiyuan could only roll his eyes.

At S3 too, Xiaosi received a similar invitation for the Summit. And just like Zhiyuan, he got a call from a sobbing Liang too, to come to the banquet.

"You have to bring Chyou, okay!?"

Where he insisted Zhiyuan not bring Siying at all, his words were the opposite when he talked to Xiaosi.

Xiaosi chuckled. "What happened?"

"Chyou and Leina can play a lot together! It's a win-win for us! Our kids won't get bored at a grown-ups party. That way, Siying won't get a chance to play with Leina at all!"

"..."

"You do realize that all the three kids will be together, right?"

"Tell Chyou to hog Leina all to herself. Even better is to make a rule that boys cannot enter in their group!" He harrumphed.

Xiaosi couldn't help but laugh. "You know, sometimes I wonder if Leina is the child or you…"

"Hmph! I am just doing this to protect my daughter! As a daughter's father yourself, I expect you to understand my feelings! Okay, gotta hang up. Don't forget to bring Chyou, okay?"

Xiaosi shook his head and helplessly chuckled. He thought for a moment and fidgeted with his phone.

I will have to tell Caihong about this banquet, right?

His cheeks reddened thinking about last evening. He didn't know what happened to him so suddenly, but he just couldn't hold himself back. 

Technically, he shouldn't feel so shy since they have been married for seven years. So to him, he thought that they must have gotten intimate many times over the past years. It wasn't something new.

But after his memory loss, he couldn't act that familiarly and intimate so directly. Since he had forgotten everything about his family, he still felt a sense of distance, especially when it came to sexual matters.

Xiaosi cleared his throat and finally dialed Caihong's number after a long time.

"...Hello."

On the other side, Caihong was also blushing just like Xiaosi as she picked his phone. She was even more embarrassed to face him after she fell asleep after her climax. If she hadn't, then she wondered if things might have gone further between them…

But she slept the whole evening just like that, not knowing how Xiaosi felt. It would be a bummer if he expected more, but he couldn't go further because she felt tired and instantly dozed off.

Ahhh, so embarrassing!

Caihong wished to dig a hole and bury herself in it.

Xiaosi said, "T-there is the Annual Business Summit tonight and we can bring our family too...So, *ahem* will you and Chyou come along with me?"

"Oh s-sure! I have heard of that summit. Previously, I had accompanied Dad."

"That's great then."

"Yes."

There was a long silence. Nobody knew what to say further.

Caihong quickly said, "So, I will hang up! Have to decide on the proper attire for Chyou and me…"

"Of course!" He quickly said and hung up. He let out a deep breath. 

Phew. It wasn't that bad I guess…

Though he definitely felt that Caihong sounded a little jittery too. He sighed.

At five-thirty in the evening, Yunru and Zizi reached the venue where The National Conference for Peace and Protection was held. It was going to start at six which would go on for two hours.

Yunru was dressed in his neatly ironed cop's uniform while Zizi had worn a formal dress whose color matched his uniform's, very obviously showing off that they were a couple.

"Why did you wear this color? I sense some agenda," he smiled.

Zizi harrumphed. "So that other female officers know that you are taken."

He rolled his eyes. "This is a conference, not a mixer."

"One can fall in love anytime. It's better to take precautions."

He shook his head.

As they stepped in, Yunru immediately noticed some secret commotion happening near the stage. People were urgently whispering to each other.

"Wait here, Princess. I think there is some problem over there...I will check it out."
