"I'm sorry, Ms. Song...The man managed to hitch Lt General Duanmu's car...We are unable to do anything."
The moment Lt General Duanmu's car entered into the compound, the guards called Song Qiao to update her on what happened.
Hearing that Kai Xin managed to enter into the mansion, Song Qiao snapped angrily, "Useless!"
She hung up the phone and paced around as she thought about what to do next. If DX found out about it, he would never believe her ever again. She cannot risk having her misdeeds being exposed.
"Qiao Qiao, what are you doing here? Let's go and talk to the rest of the guests," said Old Madam Du who walked over when she saw Song Qiao standing at the side by herself.
When Song Qiao saw DX's mother, she got an idea.
.....
As soon as DX hung up the call from Jack, he told Layla to entertain the guests on his behalf while he headed over to the kitchen.
The first thing he saw was the boys hovering over Caleb who was sitting at the bar stool. Even Quinn looked upset when she saw Caleb cried silent tears.
When he saw his sons hovered around the little boy protectively, he smiled at the thought of them being protective over their future siblings.
"What happened?" asked DX as he went over to take a look at Caleb. He noticed that the boy's hearing aid was gone and that his left ear was a little red.
"Just a fight...Nothing major..." said Tian Le. He was afraid that DX might get angry if they caused trouble here.
DX glanced at his sons who immediately told him the truth. With a sigh, he carried Caleb up and told Tian Le to sign for him.
"It's just a toy. I will get you another one."
Caleb sniffed as he looked at DX's face. With a sigh, he signed back, "That's the first present you bought for me..."
When DX heard the translation from Tian Le, he smiled and said, "I'll get someone to fix it. Don't get upset anymore."
He then looked at one of the maids in the kitchen and told her to send the toy for repair. When he wanted to place Caleb down, the little boy hugged onto his neck tightly and shook his head.
"NOOO!!!" yelled Caleb.
Left with no choice, DX decided to take Caleb along with him. He turned to Lyle and said, "Good job taking care of the kids."
He placed a hand on Tian Le's shoulder and introduced him to the twins and Quinn, "This boy here is Tian Le. As spoken before, he and his friends are important guests of mine. Make sure that you guys take good care of them."
When the trio nodded, he looked at Tian Le and said, "These two are my sons. The curly hair one is Lyle and the straight hair is Jack. The cute little girl standing between them is my goddaughter, Quinn..."
He glanced at his twins who immediately shifted their eyes away before adding as a warning, "She is off limits to everyone..."
Just as DX was about to walk off, Lyle called out and asked nervously, "Dad, Is she...Is she coming?"
"I'm sure she's here already. Be patient. When she wants to show herself, she will," replied DX before he left the kitchen with Caleb on his arms.
.......
Kai Xin changed out of her 'K' attire and into the dress that she tasked Han Ye to purchase for her. She looked at her own reflection and thought, "We are doing this, Zhen Kai Xin..."
Her hair was styled in a fishtail updo which was held together by diamond-studded hairpins. Instead of a heavy makeup like the rest of the visitors, she chose to keep it simple and light paired with red lipstick.
Her dress in Byzantine Blue that reached her ankles shimmered under the light when she moved around. However, the most important part of the dress was the deep-V that stopped right above her navel, revealing the unique red birthmark below her chest that drove DX crazy.
With a smirk, she thought, "This should keep the ladies away from him."
Picking up the black Colombina mask decorated with gold and blue that she prepared earlier, she went to the highest floor of the mansion.
Along the way, she texted Han Ye.
[ I'm ready. As spoken earlier, send him up. I would be waiting in his room. ]
