37 Butler Ge
Anna Jones stated to Hou Yi "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?"
With that Anna laughed, and said "It is. But put me down, I want to walk into my home with you beside me rather than carrying me"
"Well I think you know where I could carry you", Hou Yi responded and again nuzzled Anna's neck. 𝘧re𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒𝙡 - 🅽🅽novel
Before Anna could respond, there was a lough cough, indicating that someone was there. Hou Yi and Anna looked up, and there was an old gentleman bowing to the two of them."Young Master, welcome home, and this is..."
With than Hou Yi, decided that he needed put Anna down, and carefully lowered her. Rather than letting her step away, he took a hold of Anna's hand and moved towards the man.
"Ge Zhi what have I told you about bowing. It is not needed here. Simply greeting me is all you need to do. You know that I simply prefer to be called Sir."
"Young Master, it is a sign of respect."
"I am going to forget this argument with you today, I do not have the energy. Plus I do not think that you will change your mind."
"Young Master, your guest ..."
"Butler Ge, this is not a guest, this is my wife. We were married earlier today...
"Apologies Young Master, Young Madam, I should have realised and had the staff gathered to meet their new mistress."
"Butler Ge", Anna interrupted before Hou Yi could say anything."That is not necessary"
"Just let them know that my wife is here, and that she will meet them in due course. When the bags arrive from downstairs, please ensure that the items are unpacked, pressed where needed, and placed in out suite. We are going into the lounge, so can you please arrange for some cold drinks to be brought in to us. Further when a police officer arrives, show him into us. The final thing that I need is for you to arrange for a car to take us to visit my parents and grandparents tonight. , once we have dealt with the police. No scratch that, tell them to be ready to go at short notice once the police officer has left, as we cannot guarantee when we will be ready."
While Butler Ge, was saying "Yes Sir", Hou Yi, gently moved Anna across the foyer, and down a couple of steps into a formal lounge area, overlooking a balcony. He directed Anna onto a lounge and sat down beside her.
Anna leaned over and said in a quiet voice only Hou Yi could hear "Yi, that was laying it on too much. There was no need to. I said I would be reasonable to help establish that our relationship is real, but that was taking it too far."
Hou Yi leaned in and also said in a quiet voice "No it was not. If I had taken it too far, I would have ignored Butler Ge, and simply taken you to our room, and not let you out. I just figured the traditional carrying over the threshold would add just the right touch of romance. Added to that is the impression that I cannot wait to get you alone, and that I do not care if we will be late."
"Well, ask next time, before you act."
With than Hou Yi simply eased Anna's head onto his shoulder, and just whispered "Lets just sit here until the police officer arrives. Do not move, as we need to show the staff that we cannot wait to be alone"With that both quieten down, sit with their heads gently touching and they eyes closed. Neither noticed a maid walk in and placing a tray on the table in front of them.
As the maid walked out, she ran into another maid, and they turned looking at the resting couple in the lounge. The first maid said to the other "I thought that lovely Yang Lin was going to be the Young Madam. This woman has no class, and she does not deserve the Young Master. We need to help Miss Yang deal with that woman, as she does not deserve anything."
The second maid responded, "I think you are ...."
Before they could continue, Butler Ge interrupted "The Young Master has chosen Young Madam, not Miss Yang. You are simply lucky it is me who overheard you. If it was the Young Master, I would suggest that you would not have a job. Keep your opinions to yourself, respect the Young Madam, and be willing to help and protect her. If you cannot, tell me now and I will arrange a new job for you, but if you stay and are found not to be respecting the Young Madam I will not help you."
Both quickly responded, "Yes Butler Ge, " but both quietly saying to themselves that Miss Yang needed to be helped to deal with the woman who has come in her. To them Miss Yang, was a nice woman who was properly dressed and respected them, but this woman was dressed in cheep clothes, and had totally ignored them, when they deserved respect.
Before anything else happened, there was a call on the internal apartment phone system which Butler Ge, answered. After being told that it was a police officer to see the Young Master, he told the staff to send the person up, and went into the lounge. He stood at the entrance to the lounge, and in a loud voice "Apologies Young Master, Young Madam. The police officer you were expecting is on his way up."
