Chapter 277 - Press Conference (11)

Despite his insistence that it was a small wound, Kai Xin made sure that his wounded hand was tendered to before they left.

He received two stitches for the wound and she felt squeamish as she watched Dr. Phillip patched him up.

"Urgh..." Kai Xin winced when she saw the needle went into his flesh.

In the end, DX laughed and told her to look away. Once he was stitched up, they left the hospital immediately.

"How was the press conference?" asked Kai Xin while she looked at the buildings outside the car.

DX told her everything that happened before ending it with a sigh, "You know. I have the power to get rid of them easily. We don't have to do all these things."

"Yeah, but you are not an evil guy and I don't want to turn you into an evil man. An eye for an eye. If they want to play mind games, then we will play with them," replied Kai Xin. She turned her face to take a good look at the man she fell in love with.

She knew what he was capable of. She had seen the news on the Shangguan Family and even though it was shocking for her to know that DX moved so quickly, Ghost had told her that it was within his expectation.

Kai Xin was never afraid of DX, even after she knew what happened to Shangguan Xing's arm. For what he did to her and undoubtedly, to other poor innocent girls, Shangguan Xing deserved the violent punishment.

However, the Song Family's attack had been nothing but civil. It did not sit well with her to punish them in the same manner. Kai Xin did not want DX to take over. She felt that if she allowed him to take revenge for her, he would just be the same as those who hurt her.

A powerful man who had no regards for law.

No. To Kai Xin, as long as the Song Family do not harm her physically, she would not cross the line of humanity.

"You are going to burn two holes into my face if you keep staring at me in that manner..." said DX. They were waiting for the traffic light to change.

Kai Xin smiled, "Oh no, what am I going to do if you turn ugly?"

When DX raised a brow at her, she leaned over to give him a quick peck on the cheeks.

"What was that for?" asked DX.

Kai Xin shrugged and turned her gaze away from him as he started to drive.

When they drove past the main gate of Du Mansion, DX said, "Once I dropped you off, I have to stop by my mother's house later. I'd be back shortly."

"Don't fight with her because of me, alright? She's just worried about you. My mum would have done the same thing," said Kai Xin. When he did not reply, she placed a hand on his thigh while she waited for his answer.

"Don't worry about it. I won't get into a fight with her. Anyway, I got you some surprises. They are waiting for you at home," said DX. While he kept his eyes on the road, he took her hand and gave it a squeeze so as to reassure her.

"What kind of surprises? If it's mochi, I'll pass. That's probably the reason why I got indigestion..." murmured Kai Xin.

DX laughed softly and said, "No more mochi for you...At least not for a while...It's something else...You'll know soon..."

When they reached the foyer, Kai Xin went wide-eyed when she saw the surprises that DX brought her. Standing at the bottom of the stairs were the Nakamura sisters, Ki Hong and Jane, and they smiled when they saw her.

"No!" Kai Xin gasped before she turned to DX. She was more surprised to see Ki Hong there than anyone else.

He smiled and after placing a kiss on her lips, he said,

"They are worried about you as well. I know you have been feeling listless since you were cooped in the house for the past two days. You won't be able to leave the house for a while..."

When he saw that she was annoyed by the idea of "home arrest", he quickly added,

"...At least not until the reporters give up on you. So, go ahead and talk to them. I'd be back in about an hour or so for dinner. If I'm late, don't wait for me, alright?"

Once she realized that it would only be a couple of days more, Kai Xin nodded and kissed him back before she ran to her visitors.

Before he left, DX gave Ki Hong a glare as if he was telling him to keep his hands away.

....

DX drove to his mother's house which was about 30 minutes drive away. She had insisted on staying here after his father passed away.

The main house contained too many memories of his father and she was unable to bear living there when the man she loved was already gone.

When he arrived and saw Lyle who was reading in the living room, he immediately told him to pack.

"Why?" asked Lyle as he placed his book down on the couch. It had only been one day.

When he got back from school and saw his grandmother's angry face, he knew that something had happened.

"Maybe something happened at the press conference?" thought Lyle when he heard his grandmother slammed the door to her room.

He then recalled that his father told his grandmother to stay away as it would not look good for the company if the two of them were caught fighting in public. His father had predicted that something was going to happen and he wanted Old Madam Du to stay away.

When he checked with Old Mo, the butler merely warned him and told him not to bother his grandmother for now.

"Don't ask so many questions. Get your brother as well. You are moving back to the main house," said DX before he turned to instruct one of the servants to help the boys packed up their stuff.

"What the hell happened today..." Lyle thought as he stared at his father. He was confused by the behaviors of the adults today.

"No!" said Jack who came in from the garden. He had heard that his father was here and he wanted to see him.

When he heard his father telling Lyle that they were moving back to the main house, he was annoyed.

When DX turned to look at him, Jack folded his arms and said, "I won't go back as long as she's still there. Who knows if she would poison me to death…"

"Jack…" warned Lyle. He had tried to talk to Jack but the latter refused to listen.

They even slept in different rooms last night because Jack said that if Lyle wanted to choose the woman, then they cannot be brothers anymore.

Ignoring his brother's warning, Jack continued, "Hey! It's not unheard of for a stepmother to poison and do away with her stepchildren so that she can put her own child at the top. Once she gives birth to the little brat, you are going to completely forget about us!"

"Jack, go pack your bag. This is my last warning…" said DX as he tried to control his temper. He could not understand where the resentment came from.

When Kai Xin was masquerading as his boyfriend, even though Jack was unhappy, his reaction was a lot milder as compared to now.

Jack was about to say something but Lyle rushed over and covered his mouth before dragging him away.

The older twin could sense that his father was in a bad mood and it would only get worse if Jack kept badmouthing Kai Xin.
