Chapter 71 - Take them down

"I want to see her!" Jack yelled as he struggled against the maid who was holding him.

"Take them down."

The maids nodded and they picked up their young masters as if they weigh nothing before going down the stairs with them screaming and kicking.

Well...Jack screamed and Lyle kicked. They were both frustrated as their efforts appeared futile. When they glanced up, their father smiled evilly at them before slowly closing the door.

"I'm going to kill Uncle Callum! Where did he find these women!" Jack complaint as he stomped back to their room, stopping occasionally to glare at the maids.

Since it was a rhetorical question, Lyle did not answer him.

The two maids were part of Callum's specially trained security team tasked with protecting the young inhabitants of the Du Mansion and like the rest of the team, they were deadly loyal to Callum and President Du and would only listen to the orders from those two.

Back in the room, Old Mo noticed the messy bed. President Du would sleep on the left side and the right side was usually left untouched. However...It was obvious that he had shared a night with someone but who?

Old Mo glanced at the bed and shook his head as he thought to himself, "It can't be that boy..."

"Just put the clothes on the bed. I'll take it from here. Tell Callum to bring in 'his'..." DX pointed with his chin towards the bathroom, "...stuff from yesterday discreetly. Also, prepare the sparring room and let the idiot knows that he would be joining me."

Old Mo was shocked to hear that the strange young man from last night stayed overnight but he kept his professionalism and did not overstep the boundary by enquiring about the President's personal life.

He nodded and before he left, he asked, "Would you like to eat lunch at home today, sir?"

"Yes. Make it something light and easily digestible. We would eat with the twins in the garden."

Old Mo bowed and left the room.

When DX went back into the bathroom, Kai Xin was already in the bath and she had filled it up to the brim with bubbles.

When she saw him, she beckoned him to join her. DX whipped off the towel and took a quick shower before joining her in the bathtub.

Like a little kitten, she immediately curled up against his chest. When he wrapped his arms around her, she pulled his hands so that they were resting on her stomach and easier for her to play with.

As she played with his long fingers, she glanced up and asked worriedly, "Trouble outside?"

"Lyle saw you. Don't worry too much about it. He didn't have a good look." DX took the sponge and slowly drew circles on her body, "We will have lunch with them."

DX felt the hesitation coming from her. Before she can back out, he said, "You will meet him as K. Callum is bringing over your wig so you don't have to worry about him recognizing you."

Kai Xin sighed and nodded, "Alright then."

They soaked for another 15 minutes before they were ready for lunch.

When he came out from the bathroom, he saw a suspicious looking drone carrying a small bag flying around outside the balcony and told Kai Xin to stay inside while he checked.

Turned out, it was Callum who was controlling the drone. Stuck on the bag, there was a note saying, "Discreet enough?"

DX glared at the drone for a second before he noticed two other similar looking drones that were slowly heading towards his balcony.

The twins probably learnt the trick from their uncle.

He quickly went in, closed the door and dropped the blinds to prevent the twins' drones from capturing anything.

"What's that?" Kai Xin asked, peeking out of the bathroom.

"It's fine now. It was Callum. He just dropped off your stuff."

They got ready and posed together in front of the floor to ceiling mirror in the walk-in closet.

Kai Xin was dressed up in a full set of Adidas workout clothes in black while DX was wearing the same set of clothes but in white.

"Why are we wearing workout clothes?" Kai Xin asked as she adjusted her wig to make sure that it would not fall off.

"We will be exercising later."

She looked at him with curiosity but decided to let it pass for now.

They went down to the garden for their lunch. A round table with a canopy had been set up for them underneath a huge tree.

When the twins heard that their father and his companion would be joining them for lunch, they quickly ran down to the garden when Old Mo called them but when they saw Kai Xin sitting there, they frowned.

They had expected a woman, not a young man.

"Sit down, boys. Where are your manners?" DX frowned, "Where's your Uncle Callum?"

The boys took their seats on the left side of their father before Jack answered, "He said he's doing some research for you and that he would see you later."

"Stop glaring at my guest. This is K, the person Lyle saw at the balcony."

Lyle kept glancing at Kai Xin who was sitting opposite him while he ate his lunch. He had a feeling that he knew this person but...from where?

He glanced at Kai Xin and caught her glancing at him at the same time. Lyle could not stopped himself any longer and he asked, "Who are you? Have we met?"

Kai Xin smiled, "K, and we just met."

He frowned and asked, "What's your full name?"

"Just K."

Even though Lyle had a million questions to ask, DX stopped him from going further by asking about their night at their grandmother's house. When he recalled what happened, Lyle sighed angrily and glared at his brother.

Jack ignored him and replied their father, "It was alright. We practiced three classical pieces for piano - well, Lyle practiced the violin - and then we learnt about the history of the Du Family."

He then asked excitedly, "Is it true? That we are descendants of royalty?"

DX nodded, "We were part of the royal family a long time ago, but we are just normal people now. So don't go around telling your classmates to kowtow to you. "

Kai Xin glanced around the huge garden with its own artificial stream and a koi pond. Turning back to her lunch, she mumbled, "Royalty or not, you guys are definitely not normal people."

With a brow raised, DX turned to look at her, "Did you say anything?"

"No, nope, nothing at all!" She smiled and quickly ate her pork balls porridge.

Lyle narrowed his eyes as he continued to scrutinize the stranger in front of him, "Are you really a man? You doesn't sound like a man."

Kai Xin cursed when she realized that she was not wearing her voice changing device.

Unable to think of any good excuses, Kai Xin blurted out, "Because my balls are not fully developed!"
