A few minutes after they arrived back in their room, dinner was brought into their room by the ancestral home staff for Hou Yi and Anna . Before the staff left, Hou Yi told them he would leave their plates outside the room as they did not want to be disturbed for the rest of the night .
Anna while Hou Yi was dealing with the staff made herself comfortable on the couch to eat, before turning to Hou Yi and saying "It has been exhausting today . "
"Anna, sweetheart, you did well . " With that Hou Yi leaned over and gave her a kiss .
Anna pulled back before it could become too passionate . "Yi, we need to eat, but can you turn on a news channel on the television . "
Hou Yi located the remote controls and then moved the painting covering the television before turning it on . Anna immediately saw that the news story on-screen focused on the Press Conference . They simply sat there watching in silence while they started to eat their meal . When the story ended it because obvious to both of them that the press had taken the challenge that had been thrown down .
Hou Yi's mobile rang, disturbing them . As he picked it up Hou Yi noticed that it was Assistant Wang, so he put it on speaker phone "Yes Assistant Wang, what do you want . "
"Apologies CEO Hou, I need to speak to Madam Hou, and I could not quickly locate her number . "
"Assistant Wang, I am here, you are on speaker . "
"Sorry to disturb you Madam Hou but a couple of unusual requests for you have come through to Hou Enterprises . The local University and Law Association have both requested you to come in and speak to them . I requested them to send the information through regarding their requests, but the University asked if they could have a response in a few days . As they explained it yo me they need to factor your response into their lecture schedule as they would like you to speak to a final year class . "
"Send it through, but it would you let them know I will respond by the end of he week . "
"Not a problem Madam Hou . CEO Hou, as you requested between myself and the public relations department all queries have been directed to your personal media adviser . "
"Thank you . " And with that Hou Yi ended the call .
Anna turned to Hou Yi "I wonder why I got the requests? Why would they ask a foreign lawyer?"
"Maybe because they want to do something about other legal systems, or even explore the ideas behind suppression orders . Your explanation today, would help anyone understand them . Do not worry about it, leave it for a couple of days and see what they are looking for with their requests . "
When they finished their meal, Hou Yi took their dishes and left then outside their room . When he came back to the couch "You know, despite enjoying being here with my family and part of your family, I miss the apartment . I cannot wait to go back home . "
"Yi, is that really going to be the place to raise our child?"
"Sweetheart, No . But I have already been looking for a family home for us, near here, so we can be close to family but have our own life . We will keep the apartment as it will make a much closer base to the office in the long-term if we do not feel like returning to our house . Now, let us have a shower and head to bed, you are exhausted and it has been a long day,"
Hou Yi carried Anna into the bathroom, and helped cover her cast, before they indulged in a shower . Hou Yi, however put stop to any efforts Anna made, which were halfhearted to provoke passion in the shower . While he was so tempted, Anna was exhausted, and she needed to relax and recover .
Once they were finished, and changed, Hou Yi carried Anna to the bed, and carefully placed her in bed . As he moved to go over to his side of the bed, he noticed someone had placed Anna's crutches inside the door . He went over and collected them, placing them near Anna's side of the bed in case she required them overnight .
When he climbed into bed, he moved over and gathered Anna into his arms . She moved and gave him a gentle kiss on the lips and whispered "I love you" .
Within seconds both of them drifted off to sleep .
