Chapter 74 - The Home

Ah Hai crossed his arms in fornt of him and stared down at Shi Ai as if he was a parent to a naughty kid and soon Shi Ai started to guiltily fidget under his gaze.But soon her mouth was set in a stubborn line and she stared back at Ah Hai with resolve.

Ah Hai was thoroughly amused at Shi Ai's behavior and even more entertaining was how she looked like a guilty kid who was caught red handed eating cookies.Turning,without a word towards the door,Ah Hai turned the handle and at the last moment said,"I will be bringing my car around.Come down soon."

Shi Ai had been on the verge of being depressed at the thought that she had crossed a line and so Brother Ah Hai was leaving but when she heard him say that he was bringing his car around.She would have jumped for joy if Zhang Min had not attacked her the minute the door closed,"Little sister,I think we should prolong your stay here.I'll tell father to get some doctors to arrange an appointment with a neurosurgeon or a psychiatrist.You have lost your senses.What were you thinking wanting to go in the lion's den?Is it because of that Yao Yao.Don't worry we can handle her together.And how can you even have the courage to refuse some lessons when you know well and good that they are for your protection."

Zhang Min's tirade was brought to a sudden halt when he witnessed Shi Ai's beatific and glowing smile.Brother Min!he did tell me to come down soon.I must not make him waut.We need to rush down as soon as possible!Almost jumping,Shi Ai quickly pulled on her socks and shoes while Zhang Min tried ot talk to some sense into her and dissuade her from going.Of course his voice was treated as background score and Shi Ai had hurriedly thrown all her things into a bag,which she stuffed into Zhang Min's hand and flew out of the door like a wind saying in passig that she will see him later..

Zhang Min rushed after her to stop her or atleast try to weasel his way with them but Shi Ai had already reached down the stairs and was in the middle of getting into the car which then drove off before Zhang Min could open his mouth.

The atmosphere in the car,hoever was not what one would expect.Shi Ai knew that she had forced Brother Ah Hai's hand and thus felt guilty while Ah Hai was quiet as he pondered where to take Shi Ai.Though Ah Hai had an apartment where he went,it was his own private domain where no one had ever entered.He did not know what conditions Shi Ai planned to propose but there were somethings that he needed to explain to the little girl.Earlier from hat he had heard from Mrs Wu and even after observing the Zhang's he had assumed that Shi Ai would be able to accept his explanations but from the present tantrums that did not seem possible.His expression turned grave and hard at the thought of facing another tantrum.

Seeing Ah Hai's face harden,Shi Ai felt even more bad and said in a small voice,"I am sorry for forcing you.If you do not wish to take me home,you can just drop me off at the Zhang family house."Seeing the miserable look on Shi Ai's face,Ah Hai's irritation vanished and he softened his face explaining,""Shi Ai..My house is not what you would call a normal place and if I take you there you must promise to never visit me there unless it is a matter of life and death.There are many things we need to talk about and we need privacy so I will take you to my home but you must know that you will never be welcome again.Am I clear?'

Ah Hai's words gave Shi Ai happiness once second and stabbed at her heart the next.The words that 'you will never be welcome again' echoed in her mind repeatedly making her so miserable that she forgot to even see the way to Ah Hai's home. Only as the car silently entered the basement making did Shi Ai realize that they had already reached.Getting off the car,she looked around the dimly lit basement and took note of the row of cars that stood there under the covers.There were more than ten luxury cars ranging from Maybach to Lamborghini.Shi Ai wondered if Ah Hai enjoyed cars or were they part of his business.She knew that he was in the business of protecting celebrities and VIPs and that such cars were often useful.

While Shi Ai stood there taking inthese details,Ah Hai had already proceeded to a glass like wall.There were no locks or door on the glass and Shi Ai wondered how it would open.It the next moment,she was amazed,when the entire mirror lifted up to reveal a lift.Ah Hai gestured for her to enter the lift and then followed her in.Again there were no buttons in the lift.The moment they had entered the doors closed and then opened within a second.They now stood in front of a door.

Shi Ai felt her heart race as she was about to enter her love's home.This was the place which would give her more clues about his likes and dislikes.The main purpose of her visit...Getting to know more about him!
