Chapter 238 - Twins Birthday (23)

After a short amount of time, Young Ghost excused himself to go to the washroom.

Once there, he removed the lid from the tank and took out the disposable phone that was kept inside a ziplock black.

There was only one number saved on the phone and he pressed call before waiting for the person on the other line to say something first.

"Xiao Ying..." said Uncle Yuan.

"Uncle Yuan."

Uncle Yuan smiled as he adjusted his earphones while he was preparing more food for the guests.

He missed Young Ghost's voice. After all, it had been almost 2 years since he last spoke to him and Young Ghost's voice had matured since then.

"How are you?" asked Uncle Yuan as he carefully placed the intricate sugar butterfly on the cupcakes. He smiled as he looked at the little sugar butterfly as he wondered whether Young Ghost was still a fan of his food.

"Good."

Uncle Yuan glanced around to make sure that no one was listening before asking in a hushed tone, "Your hand?"

"It's fine. Is there anything else, Uncle Yuan?" asked Young Ghost.

The man sighed before answering, "I just want to listen to your voice for a little, son..."

"Don't call me that. I'm not your son."

Uncle Yuan sighed sadly when he heard his reply. He helped to raise Young Ghost from the moment he was born and the boy was like a son to him. However, ever since they reconciled and even before the incident with Young Luo Yin, he noticed that Young Ghost was no longer the boy who smiled constantly.

"Xiao Ying, you know how I feel about your mother. If things had turned out differently, I'd have married your mother by now and you would have been my son."

"But you didn't...," said Young Ghost clearly. He placed the lid down and sat on it before adding tersely, "...You didn't marry her, and I'm stuck here as the eldest son of the Luo Family."

"Xiao Ying..."

Having heard enough, Young Ghost interrupted him by asking, "How is the progress?"

Uncle Yuan smiled at his colleagues who were passing by and directed one of his juniors on the food preparation process before replying, "I've been feeding him almost everyday. The effects should have kicked in by now. Of course, if the dose is higher..."

"Any dosage higher than the current one would make it easier to be detected during his annual medical check-ups. It should be fine for now. Just keep feeding him," said Young Ghost. When he heard someone talking outside the toilet, he whispered, "I have to go now...Get rid of the phone when you can later."

Without waiting for a reply, Young Ghost hung up the phone. He deleted every trace and wiped his prints off before placing it back into the tank.

As he was opening the door, he heard them.

"Damn! I miss her soft body below mine as I rammed into her...Ah! I bet she missed me."

Young Ghost frowned. He recognized the voice. It was Luo Yin's friend, Shangguan Xing. He peeked out and saw the three standing near the window.

Young Shangguan Xing and Young Luo Yin were watching something on the phone while Young Ye Tian appeared to be playing games on his.

When they were distracted, Young Ghost snuck out of the toilet before they could see him. However, when he heard the next sentence, he froze.

"Xiao Yin, I'm glad we took videos! Man, I wish we can do her all over again. The next time we take another girl, I want to be the first!"

Young Luo Yin smirked as he pointed out, "Shangguan Xing... You were done after one round! Stop bragging!"

Young Ghost hid at a corner as he listened in on their conversation.

"Xiao Tian," Young Shangguan Xing placed an arm around Young Ye Tian.

"What do you want?" asked Young Ye Tian as he glared at his friend.

"Aren't you upset? Zhen Kai Xin did not squeal to her brother as per your plan."

With a thumb and a finger, Young Ye Tian removed Shangguan Xing's arm from his shoulders before saying, "She's interesting, that little one. I'd want to see what her plan is..."

"Is that why you have been stalking her lately?" Young Luo Yin asked with a grin.

During most of the lunchtime, Young Ye Tian would be stalking Young Kai Xin and he would always return back with a smile on his face.

"She's fun to play around with."

"I think she's a lot more fun where she is underneath us," said Young Luo Yin before he giggled.

Shangguan Xing looked at the video that they took that day before saying wistfully, "I wish we can play like that again...I got so hard when she screamed for help..."

"I do enjoy that kind of music," added Young Luo Yin as he watched the scene where he first plunged into Young Kai Xin and her loud painful gasp was heard clearly through the phone.

Up until that moment, he never knew s*x could be so much fun. Before that, he had thought of it as something necessary for the continuation of the family line.

He looked out the windows at the young girls who were prancing around in their glittery dresses. An evil thought flitted through his mind as he watched one of the older girls with a well-developed body.

Young Ye Tian glanced at his cousin and as if he knew what was in Young Luo Yin's mind, he placed a hand on his cousin's shoulder before saying,

"If I were you, I would take care not to touch those upper-class ladies...There are always weak girls around the school...We will just find another scholarship student for you to practice with..."

Young Luo Yin noticed someone from the window and he grabbed Young Ye Tian's sleeve as he pointed out, "Hey, look! Isn't that your girlfriend, Xiao Tian?"

When he looked out and saw Young Song Qiao, Young Ye Tian shrugged, "She's fun for now."

"What she's going to do if she knows you gave your virginity to another girl?" asked Young Shangguan Xing as he glanced at the beautiful young girl that the cousins were talking about.

"She had her chance to please me," said Young Ye Tian before he turned to go out.

When he heard the sounds of footsteps, Young Ghost quickly ran off before they realized he was eavesdropping on them.

Only when he was safely within his grandfather's view that he stopped to think about the conversation earlier.

"Zhen Kai Xin..."

He knew that something terrible had happened to her and with his fists clenched tightly, he thought angrily, "Like mother...Like son..."

.....

'TAK'

'TAK'

'TAK'

The sound of the stones hitting the board ricocheted around the hall as the two focused on the game while heavy thoughts burdened their minds. There were only a few more steps that they could take but there was no clear cut winner yet.

"I want you to stay away from her, " said DX as he placed another stone down to effectively block Ghost from trapping him. The game almost ended and he wanted to get this dealt with soon.

"Why? Are you afraid of a little competition?"

"Competition? You think too highly of yourself."

With a half-grin, Ghost asked, "If she's placed in a situation where she can only choose one of us, do you think she would choose you over me?"

When he heard his question, DX hesitated for a second. He cannot say for sure that Kai Xin would choose him in every circumstance. Even though they were closer than before, he knew that she kept many secrets from him. As much as he respected her privacy, he felt hurt by her lack of trust in him.

"Why?" DX thought as he placed a stone down absentmindedly. When he lifted his hand and glanced down at the position of the stone, his brow twitched slightly.

"Oh?" Ghost smiled while DX frowned.

DX made a mistake and Ghost knew about it. With a swift move, he placed a black stone down before saying, "Looks like I win the game."

He stood up and stared down at DX with a pair smile as he said proudly, "President Du...Without me, she would never be with you..."

Without waiting for any reply, he left the room and DX did not stop him. After all, the outcome of the game was obvious to him.

Picking up a white stone, DX placed it at a corner that was considered 'dead' earlier and that single stone turned the outcome around. His 'mistake' earlier was a cover to distract Ghost from realizing the connection that he was about to make.

With his legs crossed, DX stared at the door as he confidently thought to himself, "I would always win."

When his phone rang, he answered it after taking a quick look at the caller ID, "Han Ye."

"President Du, I just saw Luo Guang Ying coming down the stairs."

"Let him go."

"President Du..."

"I don't trust him..." said DX as he stood up and walked towards the window that oversaw the West Wing garden. As he looked at the adults who were mingling below, he added, "...Kara trusts him and I don't think he would intentionally harm her...Still, send someone to keep an eye on him. Where's Luo Yin and Ye Tian?"

"They are talking with their Grandfather and General Nakamura's daughters."
