As Hou Yi pulled the vehicle to a stop in the car park attendant opened the driver's door for Hou Yi to get out.
Hou Yi turned to the attendant and said, "Forget helping me, please help my wife out, and arrange for the bags on the backseat and in the boot to be delivered to my apartment."𝘧r𝚎𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝗻o𝘷𝘦𝚕 - 🅽🅽novel
At the mention of the word 'wife' the car part attendant seemed to be in shock and did not hear anything else.
Hou Yi, realised as he climbed out that the attendant was distracted, so he repeated in a quite but almost deadly sounding voice "Arrange for the bags in the boot and on the backseat to be delivered to my apartment. My wife will need them."At that the attendant was shaken out of this daze, and moved with speed to open the door for Anna Jones, and Hou Yi, put out his hand and assisted her in climbing out of the vehicle.
Hou Yi, stared at the parking attendant and realised that once he had been shaken out of his shock he commenced what he was doing. He was happy that quickly got the message that he would not have Anna treated with disrespect. Establishing her position with the staff in the building and in his apartment was going to be key, as many knew Yang Lin, and some liked the image that she portrayed and therefore would not take well to Anna becoming their new mistress.
Hou Yi escorted Anna, into the building and inserted a key from his pocket into a lock next to an elevator."Our apartment here has a direct elevator. There are spare keys in the apartment, which I will make sure you have, so you can come and go. At the moment, until we have dealt with Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, all I ask is that you let someone know where you are going, so you can remain safe. Bodyguards will be appointed, and until the threat from them disappears they will be close to you to protect you from them."As he was talking to Anna, Hou Yi could see that her eyes where getting more and more angry."Please do not get angry with me. They will act as a driver and assistant as well, and make sure that you can get to where you need. All I want to do is make sure is no one can hurt you like Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin did today."
Hou Yi, was glad he saw Anna's eyes slightly softening, but with a harsh undertone "What did I say, do not make decisions without consulting me."
"It is not about making decisions without consulting you. I need to ensure that you are safe, and that will mean that will be there. Usually, they will give you the space that you need, unless circumstances dictate otherwise. Today Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin verbally and physically abused you and will likely to continue to throw their power around, at the moment they pose a serious risk to you, so bodyguards will need to be close. I will not allow my wife to be subject to abuse. Once their threat has disappeared, the bodyguards while still being there will back off, and give you space to live a life, but ensure that they are protected. Having the bodyguards close by at the moment, will make the authorities think twice before carrying out the threats that Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin have delivered. The bodyguards can drive you wherever you want to go, and assist you in doing what you need to do. I am guessing once we speak to the police, they will warn you to take care for your own safety."He realised that not only was he repeating himself, but Anna was getting more angry."OK. Think about this another way. At the Key Plaza Hotel, they did not give a damn about anything, despite there being CCTV observing their actions. Think about what would have happened if that had not been there. I think they would have been ten time worse in their physical abuse. Until we deal with them, please let the bodyguards stay in place, and we will re-visit the situation after them have been dealt with. Can you accept that?"
"Fine."Anna snapped. After looking "Do you realise the life door has been open for a period of time, " and with that she walked in and Hou Yi followed, closing the door quickly.
The lift quickly and quietly took they up to Hou Yi's apartment, and opened into a foyer. Anna, went to walk out of the lift quickly, but Hou Yi pulled her back and then swept her into his arms, walking out of the lift and into the foyer.
"What are you doing" squeaked Anna.
"Carrying my bride over the threshold, like all good grooms should do."
"Put me down you idiot, you will hurt yourself. And by the way do not think being romantic will stop me from being angry at your dictating that I need bodyguards."
Hou Yi nuzzled Anna's neck, then lifted his head "It is helping though isn't it?"
