Chapter 45 - Calling Anna's Parents
Tuesday, continued …
Hou Yi escorted Anna, up the stairs in the foyer near the elevators to the second floor of the apartment. "I will arrange for you, tomorrow, to have a whole apartment tour, but knowing the location of the lounge and our suite will help you orientate in our home. There are three guest of children rooms along with our suite that takes up about half the second floor. Down the track, we will purchase a villa as out permanent home, with this being for when we cannot be bothered returning there."
As they were walking to their suite, Anna could feel the eyes of the staff on her. They paused outside a set of double doors, and he pressed his thumb on a pad, which opened a lock, and Hou Yi then turned the door handle opening it up. Before Anna could even take a step to walk through the doors, Hou Yi again, like the elevator swept her into his arms and carried her over the threshold, while she squealed out "Yi, you did not need to do this again." He put her down and firmly shut the doors behind them.
"Anna calm down. We were observed by all the household staff, peering around corners looking at us. I was just being romantic for them to see. Now, before you ask yes, I have had women in this apartment, but they have always been in guest rooms. This suite has always been designed for my wife and you are the only woman to have slept in here."
Hou Yi took a breath and continued "You can talk to Butler Ge about redecorating the guest rooms, so that will eliminate any potential reminders of other women in our home, as like you I have had a past, but this as left behind when we married. The only thing I ask if you redecorate our suite, that you keep the colour palate calming and neutral."
"Well you knew that the first time it angered me and yet you did it again. You have no respect for me." With that Anna picked up the nearest thing to her, which happened to be a book, and threw it an Hou Yi.
"Anna calm down. As I said the only reason, I did that was to put forward an image to the staff."
Before Hou Yi say anything more there was a knock on the door "Young Master, Young Madam. Sorry to interrupt. I forgot to arrange for some champagne in the suite for you, and I have it now" came Butler Ge from outside the door.
"Wait a minute." Hou Yi did not want the staff to realise that they had been arguing so he removed his jacket which he dropped closer to the door and partially undid his tie. He reached over and slipped off Anna's jacket, and pulled her shirt out of her pants, and quickly used his hands to mess up Anna's hair. Anna realised what he was doing, and did the same with Hou Yi's hair, and undid two buttons on the shirt. Neither of them wanted the staff to realise that they were arguing, so presenting an image of an interrupted bout of wild s*x was a much better option.
Hou Yi opened the door without observing who was outside and went back to Anna, who buried her head in his chest. He called out "Come in", and in walked Butler Ge and two maids, while three other staff members were outside the door observing inside the room. They appeared stunned at the sight accepting the vision presented to them, rather than questioning reality. Anna tuned her head and looked up at Hou Yi, who stared into her eyes and started to play with her hair.
Rather shortly, Hou Yi, said "Hurry up and get out of here, we were busy."
"Apologies Young Master, Young Madam, we will leave you alone", came 6 different voices, and quickly the room was vacated, and the door closed.
Immediately Anna pulled away from Hou Yi, and said "You are so lucky we had that interruption, otherwise …"
"Do not threaten me wife. When you threw that book, they all heard it. All I could figure was to show anyone who was there when I opened the door that we could not keep our hands off each other. How would you have explained the situation otherwise? Come on tell me."
"Well I am not as quick on my feet with this sort of thing as you."
"Let us not argue. We have something more important to do. We need to call your parents and tell them of our marriage, so we can then go and tell my parents face-to-face."
With that Hou Yi moved back to his jacket and took out his mobile and handed it to Anna before continuing "Use my mobile, as a fixed line can be listened on. Before we leave, I will open the champagne and mess the bed up a little and spread the clothes we change out of around the room, so that the staff come to the conclusion that before we left we sort of carried on what we had been doing when they observed in our room."
With that Hou Yi, opened the champagne, poured two glasses and handed one to Anna.
Hou Yi turned to Anna and said "We cannot put it off. Dial your parents put them on speaker, so we can tell them what happened." After taking a brief look at Anna he continued "And do not be worried, what they say will have no effect on us."
