Chapter 364 - Crab! (1/2)

...

By the time Kai Xin woke up, it was almost noon. She rubbed her eyes before she glanced around the room but she could not see DX anywhere. When she touched his side of the bed, it was cold. She then glanced at the clock and groaned when she saw that it was almost 12 p.m.

She had slept for more than 12 hours. After the bath yesterday, they had spent the night talking. DX told him about his boyhood adventure with Layla and the rest of the Imperial Five - Du XiAn, Layla Rong, Dr. Phillip, William Tan, and Javier Tan.

Kai Xin had laughed, "Imperial Five? I can't see you as part of something called Imperial Five!"

When he patted her hand that was placed on his naked chest, he smirked, "We didn't come up with the name. It was given to us by the other students... Honestly, I'd prefer our gang to be called 'Du XiAn's Followers' while your mentor preferred, 'Layla's boys'."

Kai Xin laughed. Layla's boys sounded like something that her mentor would say. DX's stories took her mind off the event in the afternoon and with that, she had fallen asleep in his arms.

As she got out of the bed, she thought, "These pregnancy hormones are turning my life upside down."

She then patted her belly and joked, "You owe me a big one, little girl. Remember, Du XiAn is mine, alright?"

She yawned and put on her robe before she walked out of the bedroom. As expected, he was working. He was typing on his laptop at the dining table when she called out softly, "Hubby?"

It seemed that he did not hear her and that was when she realized that he was on a phone call.

"What do you mean someone saved him? He's injured? Settle it quickly! I want that bastard found!" snapped DX. While he was talking to the person on the phone, at the same time, he was typing on the laptop as well.

Once he sent his email, he stood up and he placed the phone on his other ear before saying, "Yeah, get someone else to settle the compensation. I want everyone to be focusing on this case! If he runs out of the country, it'd be harder to find him!"

Kai Xin was curious as to who he was talking to and she called out again, "Hubby?"

DX was frowning but when he heard her, he immediately changed his tone. With a smile, he turned around to face her. He then hung up the call before he went to her and asked, "Why are you awake so early in the morning? You should rest more."

"It's almost 12 p.m. You're going to spoil me," said Kai Xin. She then hugged him from the front and said, "What are you going to do if I continue to be like this after the birth?"

"Well, I'm still going to love you. In fact, it would be better…" said DX. He placed a hand on her stomach before continuing, "... At least, when I get home late at night, you'd still be energetic enough for us to make another sibling for this one."

Kai Xin pouted, "Are you going to keep impregnating me? I don't want!"

DX laughed. He held her face in his hands and kissed her on the lips before asking, "Are you feeling better now?"

She nodded.

"Are you hungry? Anything you want to eat?"

She thought for a moment before saying seriously, "Crab!"

"Good thing I'm rich," said DX with a smile. He went to the intercom and once he was connected to Head Manager Han, he told the man to cook for them. After he hung up, he turned to Kai Xin and said, "He's meticulous and he'd make sure that everything is clean and untouched by others."

Kai Xin nodded before she went back into the room to wash her face and brush her teeth. Once she was done, she went to the couch where he was sitting and sat on his laps. He was reading a contract on his iPad and she took the iPad from him.

"I'm the lawyer. I'll do the checking," murmured Kai Xin. She went through it quickly and circled all the mistakes and underlined the clauses that DX had to read.

When she felt his hand snaking into her robe and rested on her breast, she sighed in contentment. It felt good to have his warm palm so close to her heart.

Meanwhile, since she took over the contract, DX's other hand was busy replying emails on his phone.

She knew that he would be busy for the next few days. They would be a lot of emails coming in and with Han Ye being on vacation mode, DX had to filter all the emails that were directed to the CEO office by himself.

Once they were done with their work, and while they waited for the food to arrive, Kai Xin looked at DX and asked, "Who was that earlier?"

"Hmm?"

She glanced at his phone before continuing, "The one you were talking to on the phone. Who went missing?"

DX thought for a second before answering her, "It's Ye Tian."

"What?"

DX sighed. He stopped playing with her breast and pulled it out of her robe.

He was annoyed with his men's incompetence as he explained, "Since I can't find anything to pin it on him, I decided to let him go home for now. I've placed guards all around his house. As expected, he tried to make a run this morning. However, his car was intercepted by a large group of masked men and the people that I sent? Most of them were killed or injured when they tried to stop the masked men."
