Chapter 164 - 164 – Spending Time With The Family

Prince Uno was a bit taken aback, but then grinned mischievously at Pax and Wolf.

Smoke and Shadow, who were sitting between Pax and Wolf, bared their teeth at Prince Uno threateningly. But the chubby pups were so cute that they looked adorable instead of menacing, and that made everyone laugh out loud.

"This is the best food I've had in years," the Dragon Queen said, rubbing her tummy and leaning back in her chair. "I am so tired now that I don't want to move at all."

"We have plenty of guest rooms, if you want to stay for a bit," Ren offered. "If your security team is ok with it, that is. We do have state of the art security, and there are very few places that are as safe as our home. Of course, we won't have all the luxurious amenities of a seven star hotel, but if you would like to rest for a while, you are most welcome to."

"I'm staying," the Dragon Queen said immediately. "I'll have someone bring in my luggage bags, if that's all right? You'll let your old future auntie in law stay for a few days, won't you, Chairman Ren?"

Ren raised his eyebrows. "All family members acknowledged by Fang are more than welcome to stay in our house any time," he said, glancing at Fang.

Fang smiled shyly at him, gratitude pooling in his purple eyes.

Ren chuckled and patted Fang's cheeks indulgently. He could see how much Fang wanted to continue chatting with his big sister. The least Ren could do was to offer them his guest rooms – of course, he had to keep in mind that these were very, very high profile people of international significance, so he had phrased his suggestion the way he had.

"I want to stay, too," Princess Una said as well. She turned to her fiancé. "Zeus, are you staying or do you want to go back to the hotel?"

Zeus licked his lips. "I'm staying," he said. "I wouldn't miss this food for the world."

Princess Una chuckled and swatted at his arm playfully.

"I'm staying, too," Prince Uno said. "Chairman Ren, will you be cooking for us tomorrow?"

Princess Una smacked her brother's arm. "What's wrong with you? Why are you acting like a crabby in law already?" she hissed.

"We just found our little cousin brother," Prince Uno said, a small smirk gracing his handsome face. "I have to make sure that he is being treated well by his older boyfriend. Who knows what Chairman Ren was thinking when he picked up a little orphan and brought him home?"

"Stop picking on Ren," Fang said, glaring at his older cousin. "I won't let anyone insult my Ren, family or not."

Prince Uno's eyes widened in shock, his dark pupils filling with delight. "Ooh, little Cousin Fang is finally unsheathing his claws!" he said.

The Dragon Queen glared at her son. "Uno, if you can't behave yourself, you can go back to the hotel," she said. She looked at Ren and Fang apologetically. "I apologise for my son's behaviour."

"Oh, come on, Mother," Prince Uno said, rolling his eyes. "Let me have some fun with our little cousin and his man! They make such a cute couple that it's impossible not to tease them!"

That mollified Fang a fair bit, and Ren didn't particularly care anyway. He knew how older siblings could be – he'd had two of them in his previous life! And, to be honest, Prince Uno and Princess Una kind of reminded Ren of his own older brother and sister in his previous life. They had teased him relentlessly, but they had also been the ones who doted on him the most. Ren suddenly missed them a lot. How nice it would be, if Ren's parents and his siblings were here, too, and they could meet Fang and his family…? And his siblings, who had always teased Ren for being a little prince – wouldn't they be stunned if they saw that Ren was engaged to a real life prince of not one but two nations? Even without the title, Ren knew that his family would have absolutely adored Fang, but now, with the title, wouldn't that be even better?

A sharp pain suddenly flashed across Ren's head, and he almost fell over.

Fang immediately caught Ren and pulled him into his arms. "What's wrong, Ren?" he asked anxiously.

Ren blinked slowly for a moment – the pain went away as soon as it had come, leaving him a little dazed and confused.

"Ah, sorry," Ren murmured. "I think I am a little tired, that's all."

Fang, Pax and Wolf – all three of them eyed Ren suspiciously.

Ren, who had recovered by now, chuckled helplessly. "Don't look at me like that," he said. "You can have Dr. Gordon check me again tomorrow if you want."

That reassured the three men a little, but Fang still texted Dr. Gordon anyway.

The Dragon Queen frowned at Ren and Fang. "What's wrong with him?" she asked.

"Nothing, really," Ren replied. "Just a little tired."

"Cousin Fang, why don't you tuck your man into bed and then come over to entertain us? You haven't given us a tour of the house yet," Prince Uno said.

"We will stay with Daddy," Smoke said to Fang. "Don't worry, Papa."

Fang hesitated.

Ren patted Fang's cheek lovingly. "Your cousin is right," he said to Fang. "I'll excuse myself and go to sleep, and you can show them around. I'll take all the babies with me, all right?"

Fang finally gave in. Actually, more than showing them around the house, he also wanted to discuss about Ren's birthday party with them and make sure that no one spilled the beans at the last moment! There was just one more day to go, and then it would be Ren's birthday.

Pax and Wolf had also decided to stay back in the house – the two of them had their own rooms anyway, since they stayed over fairly often.

The Dragon Queen made a call to her subordinates to fetch her luggage, along with Prince Uno's. Princess Una and Zeus had come over straight from the airport, so there luggage was here with them anyway.

After that, Fang took them on a tour of the house and a part of the garden, promising to show them the rest of the garden during the day time, when it would be prettier. The walk around the house helped everyone digest their food, and it also facilitated their conversation.

The three royals of the Dragon Nation were very impressed with the house and the measures that Chairman Ren had taken to keep his family safe. The house was a veritable fortress – and the Dragon Queen could see that this house was way more secure than any high security hotel that she could stay in! The security here was comparable to what she had in her private chambers in the imperial palace of the Dragon Nation – in fact, it could possibly even have surpassed her security!

Now, the Dragon Queen knew very well that Chairman Ren had introduced most of these security measures in the house to give Fang a sense of absolute security that no unwanted person would ever be able to step foot in his home. She appreciated the extent to which Chairman Ren had gone to make Fang feel safe.

Prince Uno, Princess Una and Zeus, on the other hand, thought that Chairman Ren was a delicate and paranoid nutjob who went really over the top with the fortress like security measures he had taken to keep his house and the estate safe! Still, it was because of this Z class security that the three royals were able to stay in this place without a shred of worry, so they didn't want to complain about it. They would not only get a chance to spend more time with their long lost little brother Fang this way, but they would also get a chance to eat the amazing food that seemed to be the exclusive privilege of the residents in this house! And then there were the four adorable babies in the house and they would get to play with them!

Prince Uno was actually itching to tell Princess Una about the magical little babies – but since Zeus was a normal human, he had to wait until he could get a chance to speak to his sister alone. He could guess from her expression earlier that she had heard Smoke speak to Fang about staying with his Daddy – and he wanted to tell her that she had not been hallucinating and that the four babies of Ren and Fang were actually magical creatures!

And he wanted to discuss with her the matter of handing over the slumbering familiar of her late father and his late uncle to Cousin Fang – if Cousin Fang was already bringing up four magical creatures as his children, of which one was the magical familiar of Chairman Ren, then it was quite likely that he would be able to awaken the slumbering familiar who had gone dormant since his master's death eighteen years ago.
