Chapter 143 - Petty Husband

After the win, Ah Hai escorted Shi Ai into the private changing room. The second competition wuld not be beginning for some time as Xu Li was yet to wake up after being knocked out. She had been taken away to the medical room for examination. Meanwhile,once inside the room, Ah Hai slowly pushed Shi Ai onto a chair. Picking up a towel from the rack oon the side,he carefully wiped the sweat on her forehead and neck. Shi Ai tried to protest and insist that she could do it herself but Ah Hai refused,"Let me take care of you."

Ah Hai felt guilty. Though Xaio Ai was not badly hurt,there were a few places,where Xu Li had been able to hit the jabs and knowing Shi Ai she must definitely be bruised. Plus her swollen lip was making him even more angry at himself. After wiping away her sweat, Ah Hai got up and moved towards a shower stall. Turning on the water to a slightly warm temperature,he came back to Shi Ai and stood behing her. 

The sound of the zipper being pulled down was almost echoing in the room. Shi Ai caught the front of her body suit as she prevented it from falling and exposing her front but in the next moment, Ah Hai pushed down the suit off her shoulders. Her sports bra was the next to be opened and soon, Shi Ai stood there in front of Ah Hai,totally exposed from the waist above. Ah Hai looked at the small bruise on her back where she had taken a kick and then another on the side of her stomach.

His anger at himself threatened to explode at himself. He hated the fact that Shi Ai had to fight. And that too to show these useless people that she had the right to stand by his side. He was going to kill everyone of them.

Circling to the front,Ah Hai pulled down the rest of her clothing and guided her to the shower.

Ah Hai then planned to march out and order everyon's decrease in this month's and bonus for bullying Shi Ai wheyher directly or indirectly but just then Shi Ai called for him from behind the frosted glass,"Ah Hai? I know you are not happy about this but I am. This is the first time I have received a chance to fight for you and I am not even that hurt.. And I am glad that I won it. You are worth every fight."

Ah Hai turned around towards the shower stall. A slow smile spread on his face. He felt his heartbeat accelerate when he saw the silhoutte of her beautiful figure. She always knew what to say to bring him to his knees. How had he turned out so lucky,he would never know? Turning back,he opened a locker,discarded his jacket and silently unbuttoned his shirt. His warrior princess needed to be pampered and he was the best person to do it.

Inside,Shi Ai could feel Ah Hai's heated gaze searing her through the frosted glass. Her eyes half closed,she kept her back turned and let the water wash away the grime. Just as she was about to extend her hand towards the shampoo, the door opened and a b.a.r.e arm stretched towards the bottle. A husky voice whispered,"Let me."His fingers delicately combed through her short hair,massaging her head as he lathered the shampoo. Slowly, his hands inched downwards and massaged her tensed shoulders. Ah Hai's hands then explored her body as he applied soap and then finally after washing her off thoroughly, Throughout, Shi Ai's eyes remained half closed like crescent moon as she watched Ah Hai kneel to wash her down there. Encircling her small waist with his big hands, Ah Hai placed a small open mouthed kiss on the bruise on her stomach causing Shi Ai to almost lose her balance as she clenched her stomach.To stop herself,she placed her hand on his b.a.r.e shoulders tightly clenching her fingers into his skin unknowingly encouraging him more. What was it about them being in the shower that made her forget everything,she couldn't guess. The two people had forgotten that they were in the office building and everyone was waiting for Shi Ai to make an appearance once again. Finally after a long but tortorously slow shower,Ah Hai placed a peck on her shoulder before walking out. The expression on his face was extremely satisfied while anyone looking at Shi Ai could guess what they had been upto with the way she was glowing.

Some time later, with Shi Ai dressed in casual clothes and Ah Hai wearing his suit,the two people made their way to Ah Hai's office. With a casual hand on Shi Ai's waist, Ah Hai was clearly declaring his ownership as he entered the office. Assistant Yang and Shot were the only ones waiting in the outer office. Feeling a bit shy,Shi Ai gave a polite nod to the two before she was pushed into Ah Hai's inner office.

As Assistant Yang and Shot made to follow her, but Ah Hai stood guard at the door. The two men looked at each other and then at Ah Hai who had folded his arms across his c.h.e.s.t. In a cold voice,he said,"I want a list of all those who have bet against my wife and those who have bet in her favor."

Shot gave a thin smile at this order,trying to persuade Ah Hai,"What betting? You know all of us here don't do that.."

Returning with an equally thin smile Ah Hai asked,"By chance did you also bet against my wife?"

With a serious shake of his head,Shot declined the allegation and produced a list out of thin air,all of these people have lost. I was the only one who bet in her favour. I am about to collect my winnings."

Taking the list,Ah Hai handed a bank card to Shot sating,"Your winnings? Put them in this card they belong to my wife."

Shot looked at the card in his palm and then frowned at Ah Hai,"It's just a few thousand dollars. You have ten times more than that. Why do you want to take this for her also?"

"Because you won that money from my wife. What belongs to her belongs to me. Do you really want to win from me?"
