CHAPTER 18: YOU SCARED ME

This chapter is dedicated to Titania23 :)

.....

After arriving home, Zhao Xia immediately received a call from Jun.

"Yes, what did you find?"

"The gangs are being supported by a source from Japan. It's hard to find who specifically it is, though. I have traced some money being wired into some of the phones of the gang members. However, when I trace it back to the owner of the bank account, it's just a dead end. Now I think the only way to find out about whoever planned the attack, is to get the information from the gang members that you captured."

"Okay, thank you Jun. You have tried your best." She hang up and sighed.

"What is it?" Zhao Haoran asked as he led her to their bedroom.

"I was trying to find out who is behind that gang rebel that happened that night."

"My team is working on it. We will find him or her soon enough."

.....

Meanwhile somewhere in Japan:

"Sir, we have managed to block the hacker. "

"Good."He said as he looked at the computers nearby. Suddenly, another red light appeared on all of the computer screens.

"Do all you can to stop them. If a single information is leaked out, I will be sure that you won't see another day."

"Y...yes, sir." He replied as his fingers flew across the keyboard. The boss got out of the technical room and headed to the kitchen to get water, only to find his little wife on her phone, seated on one of the kitchen high stools, drinking coffee.

Since her back was facing him, he crept closer without her noticing and suddenly hugged her from behind, surprising the woman.

"Oh my god, Kai, you scared me." She said as she placed a hand on her chest.

.....

Back in China:

After their shower, Zhao Xia and Zhao Haoran were in bed, with Zhao Haoran massaging her sore feet, while she laid flat on the bed looking at the ceiling.

"You know, after all this sh*t is over, we can have a vacation somewhere." She suddenly said.

"Yes, we can go wherever you want but in stead of a vacation, we can have our honeymoon first."

Zhao Xia looked at him before chuckling. "Okay, honeymoon it is. "

With that she suddenly sat up and straddled Zhao Haoran, surprising him to the core. She wound her arms around his neck and he automatically wound his around her waist. She bent down and pressed an intimate kiss on his lips. What was supposed to be a short intimate kiss, suddenly turned into a long ferocious kiss.

Once they parted to get much needed air, Zhao Xia felt something hard poking her down there. Her cheeks flushed red and she looked at her husband. She was met with his fiery intense gaze.

"Umm... Haoran, I think that your....."

Her words were cut off when he suddenly swooped in and caught her lips in another fiery breathless kiss.

"You don't how much you affect me sweetheart." He said breathlessly once they parted again.

His lips trailed down and skimmed her jawline, pressing short hot kisses on it. He moved to her neck and pressed open mouthed kisses, Zhao Xia was sure he would leave some marks on it . She let out an unintentional moan as she tightened her hold on his shoulders.

Zhao Haoran suddenly stopped his sweet torture, earning a low mumble of disapproval from his wife. He looked at her and said.

"Before I lose my last straw of sanity, we should stop."

"Why?"

"I want to make love with you when all this charade is over so that nothing, not even our thoughts, can distract us."

"Oh...okay. But can we cuddle like this for some time?" She asked.

In response, Zhao Haoran brought her much closer to him and rested his head on the intersection between her neck and shoulder, breathing in her natural intoxicating scent.

After about ten minutes, Zhao Haoran placed his already sleeping wife slowly on the mattress, careful not to wake her up.

He covered her with the quilt and headed to the bathroom, ready to take a cold shower.

The next morning, Zhao Xia woke up early in time to see her husband getting out of the bathroom, a towel covering his lower body.

"Hot damn!" She said loudly earning a hearty chuckle from her husband. He moved closer to her and pressed a kiss on her forehead. His masculine pleasant scent filled her nostrils.

"Good morning, sweetheart."

"Good morning." She replied as she gave him a sweet smile.

"It's the first time you've woken up this early."

"Oh...I have a meeting later with some of my investors."

She got up and headed towards their walk in closet, her husband in tow. She headed towards his side of the closet and chose a dark blue three piece suit for him, a watch, a black tie and black lace ups.

"Well, that's a first." He said as she brought the clothes to him.

"I have always wanted to do this."

He took the clothes from her hands and she left for the bathroom. Once she finished her shower, she walked to their closet only to find a light blue full women's suit, a white pull neck and a pair of black pumps laid out on the couch for her.

She let out a chuckle before preparing for the day. When she descended the stairs, she found her husband in the dining room waiting for her. She joined him and they had breakfast together while discussing some various topics.

Once done, Zhao Xia gave her husband a morning kiss before leaving the mansion with her two bodyguards.

When she arrived at the main branch of her group of hotels, she was surprised to see men in black everywhere. Her bodyguards moved closer to her to protect in case they decided to attack. She looked around and saw some familiar faces. Weren't those people her father's men? So her father was here.

"Guys , relax, I know them." She addressed K and Ace.

When they relaxed, she headed towards her office and opened the door to find her father, seated comfortably on her swivel office chair.

"Do you always arrive this late at your office?"

"It's 8:30 in the morning, dad."She said nonchalantly as she took a seat across from him.
