Offer To The CEO

Chapter 293 - The Return



Monday

Hou Yi and Anna awoke suddenly to lots of noise throughout the Hou Ancestral Home. Hou Yi looked at an alarm clock and realised that it was only 4:30am and to both of them it sounded like everyone had just arrived back. Anna, also then noticed that at that exact moment she was, the best that could be arranged given the cast on her leg, she was wrapped in Hou Yi's arms and how right it felt.

Anna paused for a few seconds before moving too much, just savouring the feeling of being safe and how right it was to be here. It was getting so much harder and harder not to tell Hou Yi how she felt about him. The only thing holding her back was she had observed nothing from Hou Yi significant despite some glimpses that potentially indicated he loved her as she loved him.

Anna wondered should she take the first step, and confess how she felt, regardless of her fears as to the outcome. She could take that he was not committed as her to the relationship, but what worried her was a complete and utter rejection.

Before Anna could say anything further, she heard yelling "Aunty Anna, Uncle Yi, where are you."

With that, Hou Yi turned to his wife, "I guess they will not leave us in peace until we go out and see them?"

"True, I would not put it pass all of them to come running into the room and jump on the bed."

With that Hou Yi quickly got out of bed, and put a dressing gown on. However in the few seconds before he did Anna had a clear view of his chest and remembered how good it was not only to lay her head on and sleep, but also to kiss and explore his chest and when making love. Was it just three weeks ago when they consummated their marriage her assault that left her with her broken leg and unexpectedly resulted in her being pregnant.

Once he had the dressing gown on, he moved around to the other side of the bed, and located Anna's dressing gown, helping her into it, before she manoeuvred herself onto the chair, and he pushed her out towards where the voices where. The closer they got to the lounge room, the more they could here Rosemary and Rebecca telling the children to be quiet.

Hou Yi pushed the chair into the room, and as the children saw the two of them, they ran squealing over to them, throwing themselves at Hou Yi, who knelt down for them. With the din of their noise, it was possible to here "Thank you Uncle Yi, that was amazing."

Hou Yi looked over and noticed the glaze in his parents, grandparents and Aunt's eyes. "Now everyone, it was a pleasure, but Aunty Anna and I have to go into work today. How about you head off to bed, and you can tell us about the trip tonight. Does that sound fair?"

"But, Uncle Yi …" whined one of the children, but Yi could not figure out who it was.

"Hey, there are no buts here. You have had two busy days in Hong Kong, and you need to get some sleep, so you can enjoy the rest of your trip, before you have to go home. Plus I am betting everyone else is tired as well."

After hearing the firm words, the all the children realised that there was going to be little room for argument, so they quickly gave Hou Yi a kiss on the cheek or a hug, and ran over to Anna, doing the same, before grabbing Rosemary, Rebecca and James' hands pulling them out of the room.

Du AnLing, burst out laughing, and quickly realised that her son was ready to argue with her "What. You have always been able to control a room of adults with your voice, Yi, but never did I expect it would work with children. I pity my grandchildren when you two have them, so I guess it means I will be spoiling them, and you will have to increase my monthly spending limit." The glee in her voice was something that Anna could really hear, and realised that her husband had dug himself into a hole with his mother, without realising it.

"Mother, do not thing about it. There is no way I am going to let any child of mind learn about spending from you." Hou Yi was deadly in his voice.
