She looked down and rested her head on his chest . He did not rush her . Instead, he merely held her as she gathered her courage to tell him one of her secrets .

Occasionally, DX would glanced down at her to check whether the silence was due to her thinking hard on the matter or whether it was because she fell asleep .

It was a long while before she started talking .

"I have always known that my father was cheating on my mum and I knew the reason why he was never there during my birthdays was because of her . "

DX knew that "her" was a reference to her half sister who was born on the same day . He linked his fingers with hers as he tried to make her feel better . After a while, she continued,

"I accidentally found out that he was absent during my birth because he was at her birth . Mum did not realized that I knew about it . "

DX thought about An Qi Yan and she did not strike him as someone who would just sit about doing nothing . So, he interrupted Kai Xin to ask, "Your mum knew about the affair then?"

She nodded and added on, "I used to wonder why she didn't leave him immediately . Then as I got older, I realized why she did what she did . Without any qualification, she would be unable to survive if she took us with her, yet she cannot bear the thoughts of leaving us . "

"That's why she stayed for so long . For 10 years, she kept it bottled down and pretended to know nothing about her husband's affairs . Everyone knew and they laughed at her 'ignorance' but she just smiled at them as she went about with her life . "

She looked at his broad hand as she continued, "When she married my father, my maternal grandfather took her out of college . He said that girls don't need so much education after marriage . She begged my paternal grandfather to allow her to continue but he was worse than her father . To him, girls should be seen not heard . "

"He thought that it was a waste of money and time to invest in a girl's education . My grandmother went against my grandfather and took out all her savings to send my mother back to school to finish her degree . I think part of her felt guilty for what my father did to my mother . Anyway, my mum built up her working experience and when I was 10, she divorced him . "

Kai Xin smiled as she thought about her mother's nervous look when she stood in front of her father with a copy of all the evidences .

"She took out everything she had on my father's cheating behavior and threatened to take half of his money if he tried to fight for custody . My father's business was just taking off and he cannot afford any scandals so allowed her to take me . Since Kai An is the only son, he had tried to fight for him but by then, my brother had completely rejected my father . "

DX was angry on her behalf . From her story, he can tell that the bastard did not even try to fight for her . How could a father be so cruel to his own daughter?

He closed his eyes so that she would not see his murderous gaze . After a while, he said, "It must be hard for her, but not everyone is like your father . I am not like him . "

She looked up at him, and asked, "How would you know? They thought they were in love, then they were not . How can I be sure that it wouldn't happen to us?"

"Because I have never said things I don't mean . "

"I'm afraid . . . " She turned away from him .

Not wanting to let her escape, he pulled her back into him and forced her to turn her face towards him . With a tender look in his eyes, he comforted her as he said, "I would never leave you like your father . I'd always be there to protect you . "

She closed her eyes .

Eager to change the conversation, she asked about his birthday party that is two weeks away .

"Would you like to go?"

"Do you want me to?" She asked, staring up at him to see his response .

He smiled and answered her, "Of course . I will tell Han Ye to send you the invitation . Warning . You might be bored . My mother was the one who handled everything . "

He leaned down and kissed one of her breast before saying, "But I think, with you there, this year would be fun . "

"No sweet talking me . I'm too tired for another round . " She turned around to show him that she was serious . However, she kept purposely brushing her butt against him . When he had enough of her mischief, he pinned her on the bed and had his way with her until the morning .
