Tuesday, continued …
With that he pushed Anna into the bathroom, and walked over to the robe, to find his clothes to wear, which was done quickly. Hou Yi sat those clothes on a bench on the foyer area of the suite. After messing up the bedding, and tossing a pillow on the floor, he sat down to wait for Anna, who came out of the bathroom some 15 minutes later.
As Anna walked across into the robe, Hou Yi picked up his clothes, and went into the bathroom and had a shower and dressed. When he left the bathroom, he saw Anna in the walk-in robe struggling to finish doing up the dress zipper, so he walked across an did this for her, and helped her put on the necklace from Fengs. Before leaving the room, Hou Yi entered the bathroom grabbing their clothes and tossing them on the floor around the bed. He hoped to create the illusion that before showering then had had wild s*x, rather than the reality of what they did.
With that, Hou Yi took Anna's hand, and they walked out the suite door, and down the stairs. At the bottom of the stairs, they were met by Butler Ge, who handed Hou Yi a coat, and Anna, a simple black wrap, and a pair of simply pair of white heeled shoes from her suitcase that she slipped on.
Hou Yi, asked "Butler Ge, I need you to do three things. Call my driver and let him know we are on our way down. Call my family and let them know I will be there within 30 minutes, subject to traffic. Most importantly, could you please arrange for our suite to be tidied up and readied for our return."
With that the call button was pressed, and Hou Yi and Anna entered the elevator, going down to the waiting car. The driver was waiting the door opened on the car, and Hou Yi helped Anna into the car, before entering himself. He turned to the driver, and indicated "Drive us to the ancestral home, and close the privacy screen," and ensured that the door was closed behind him.
Hou Yi reached over and helped Anna put on her seat-belt, before putting on his own. He quietly said to Anna "Rest. We have about 30 minutes, subject to traffic before we reach my family's ancestral home." With that, he then helped Anna rest her head on his shoulder, and before the car had even left the car, she had drifted off to sleep.
Hou Yi sat quietly ensuring that he did not disturb his wife. She had ad ordeal after ordeal today, and still had one to go. Hopefully this would be the easiest of the lot, as in reality all his family wanted was him married, with the potential for heirs.
Hou Yi knew that he wanted Anna to be his children's mother, but he was just as realistic in that she might refuse. Modern technology however would, if it did not happen with Anna, was for him to still have a child, he would just have to deal with his family if this happened.
Hou Yi knew out of everyone his mother Du AnLing and aunt Leng Xi would be the two to take to Anna first. There would be one simply reason for that. He was giving Anna carte blanche to spend his money, and given the spending restrictions they were on, having access to money like that, even if being spend on someone else would appeal to them. Well, he thought if that is what it takes to help Anna settle, and get ready to get her revenge, then that is what is needed.
Before he could think of anything else, he started to drift off to sleep. The next thing that Hou Yi knew was that the car had stopped, and he was being advised that they had arrived at the ancestral home. He looked at Anna, who was still asleep, and gently shook her. "Anna, we have arrived. We will only stay as long as we need to, and then return back to the apartment."
Anna awoke from her sleep and started to get out of the car still dozy. Hou Yi, leant over and said, "Please do not get angry about this again." With that he swept Anna into his arms and carried her through the front door of the Hou Ancestral Home, with not only various staff members watching on, but his mother and father standing inside the door to greet him.
OMG thank you everyone who has added this story to their collection. What a great way to end my birthday. Thanks
I know some of you might be frustrated with the pace of movement of the story, given that we are still on the wedding day. However what happens here is important to the overall story, along with what happens on the next couple of days, as we see the supports around Hou Yi and Anna.
