Chapter 313 - I'm Sorry. I'm so Troublesome

"Wen? What have you got?" Andrea answered Lu Fang's phone. Li Wen returned the call as soon as they arrived at the mansion. 

"Andy, there isn't any bounty on your head. For them to call you out like that, it is possible they are still trying to figure out whether you are the real Amaryllis Red," said Li Wen on the phone. "There was no research attempt to search Amaryllis' name either in search engines, however, there were many recent undertakes to find information about you and Lu Fang."

"For now, tighten your security and don't get outside the house. I will ask Lei Dong to send men for your protection."

"I got it, sis. Thank you." Andrea and Lu Fang were walking inside the living room when she ended the call. 

Handing the man's phone back to him, she said, "Let's practice. How about it, babe?"

"Absolutely, but let's say hi to the children first," responded Lu Fang. 

It was nearly lunchtime when they returned; they knew the twins would be eating their meals. The moment they entered the dining area, Chevre and Brie called them out. 

"Dadda! Dadda!"

Mommy! Mommy! let's eat!"

They were both jumping from their high seats, hoping to get a hug from their parents. 

"These two have been wondering where you were at since they woke up from their morning nap," said Aunt Rosa as she wiped Brie's delicate face.

"Good morning, Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu," Karen, the twin's nurse greeted the couple. 

Andrea smiled at her and greeted her back. She asked, "Are they done eating?"

"Yes, you can take them. They are both done with their meals," replied Karen as she helped Chevre out from his seat. 

"Angela is with Pilar upstairs. She just took a nap," Aunt Rosa said knowing they would ask for her too. 

The couple brought the twins to their playroom, merely enjoying their company, playing, hugging them and kissing them in their cheeks. It reminded Andrea of how blessed she was. Spending time with her babies, it made her forget momentarily the upcoming concern pertaining to Amaryllis Red. 

Lu Fang saw his wife pondering while watching the babies play. He knew what was on her mind so he said, "Babe, even if you weren't you. Even if you had a different past, we could never tell the future. We don't know for certain if we won't have new enemies lurking in the dark."

Andrea let out a heavy sigh and turned to her husband. She pulled him closer to her and said, "Babe, I'm sorry I'm so troublesome."

"If you weren't troublesome, my life would be so boring," the man said before giving her a peck on the forehead. Eventually, his lips made its way to hers. 

They kissed passionately for minutes and only broke off because Brie came to them and kissed their cheeks. "Kiss baby, Dadda!"

They both broke into laughter knowing that their little girl wanted to join in their loving. They hugged her tight, and both kissed Brie's cheeks until she ended up laughing, feeling tickled completely. Chevre joined them as well and twins' amused roar became louder and louder. 

They heard the door open and all the while they thought it was one of the caregivers. 

"Now, why are you having fun without me?" It was Hanxi who stood behind them. 

They both turned to the door and saw him with his arms crossed against his chest. He gave a smirk before joining in the family cuddling. 

"I think a baby girl is missing," Hanxi said.

"Pfft! She is still too small for tickling, Bro," said Andrea. 

Soon their laughter turned into silence and Andrea asked, "Why didn't you leave as I told you so?"

"Are you kidding me? Why should I leave you and Fang to kick some butts! Now that is more fun! I would not miss it for the world!" Hanxi exclaimed while putting both his hands on Andrea and Lu Fang's shoulder. 

"Come to think of it, it's been too long since we used our strengths towards a worthy opponent. Our bodies deserve some outlet," Lu Fang added. 

After turning the whole concern into something to look forward to, the trio ended up returning the twin's care to Karen and began practicing at the back of the mansion. 

From their previous training ground with Han-joon, Lu Fang had further improved the facilities for practice. He had an open area fighting ring done and the target range was made more secure. The back of the mansion was rebuilt entirely as a practice ground to improve their strength and stamina. 

They took turns in fighting each other until they were all exhausted. It was only sometime late in the afternoon when they realized that they had not taken their lunch. 

Days passed and nothing new seemed to have troubled them. Andrea and Hanxi practiced during the morning and Lu Fang invited Gao Rou every so often to practice with him in the afternoon. 

They had already gone through the airport surveillance and had identified the man who approached them. However, it looked to them as though he was merely a person paid to do the job. They did not have enough information on him. Nevertheless, they were still finding his whereabouts, hoping it would lead them to whoever employed him. 

Almost a month had passed and still, everything seemed to be normal. The couple became complacent and accepted an invitation to attend a charity event for orphanages in the country. 

Hanxi came together with the couple together with two of General Lei's men. Since then, they had switched to the military for protection just in case. 

The event was organized and sponsored by a Chinese American businessman named Michael Song. As the couple had researched about this man, he had long supported charity and orphanages in China since his company became an asset worth billions of dollars. 

The event was a simple gift-giving and aside from Lu-Wei Enterprises, there were other corporations that were also invited. 

After the program was over the couple was getting ready to leave when a known personality came walking towards them. He was Mr. Lee, an American-Chinese businessman known for having many mistresses in the city.

Andrea had red alerts all over when the man came approaching. There was always nothing good that came out of the news about him. 

"Mr. and Mrs. Lu. Greetings! Finally, I get to meet the famous couple of Beijing," said Mr. Lee. "I am Alex Lee, the owner of the biggest marketplace in the city."

Mr. Lee extended his hand to the couple, and it was Lu Fang who awkwardly shook it first. He said,  "It is nice to meet you as well."

Turning to Andrea, Mr. Lee paused to study her completely from head to toe. His lips curved into a smile before saying, "My… I have met many women in my life but I have never met someone so angelic."

There was something about him that made Andrea felt uneasy. She had already extended her hand to him from his earlier greeting, but instead of shaking it, she could tell he was about to kiss it. His actions played in slow motion to Andrea's sight that her hand instantly change into a fist. 

"Ahh!" Mr. Lee screamed in pain after receiving a punch from Andrea. His body turned sideways, nearly losing his balance. 

"Oh, I'm sorry Mr. Lee! I figured since you came from the US a fist bump was more appropriate," said Andrea in her most apologetic tone. "Should we try it again?"

Alex Lee  directed his attention back to Andrea and clarified, "The handshake?"

"No, Mr. Lee. The fist bump. Let's try it again," she made it clear to him. 

Hanxi turned around to chuckle secretly while Lu Fang's mind screamed, ' Go ahead and try the fist bump!'
