Chapter 146 - Du Mansion Party (12)

....

When Lu Ziyan wheeled out of the mansion and to Kai Xin, he was surprised to see Xiao Lei dressed in a completely different dress. 

"She's quite pretty..." Lu Ziyan mumbled before turning to Kai Xin. Passing her a plate of fruits, he said with a smirk, "Your Highness, your food..." 

"Hehe..." Kai Xin chuckled softly as she took the plate from him. When she texted him earlier to ask about his whereabouts, he replied "talking to someone, near the kitchen". Since she couldn't eat any of the food on the buffet tables, she jokingly asked him to bring some fruits from the kitchen. "I was just joking about the fruits..." 

"I was inside anyway..." Lu Ziyan shrugged. When he saw Angela Zhang, he smiled and nodded at her. "Hi, Angela. Are you having a good time here?" 

"Hi..." Angela Zhang replied with a gentle smile and nodded. She then turned to Kai Xin and said, "I saw someone I know. Do you mind if I go say hi?" 

The Nakamura sisters had gone off to talk to their father's friends who also attended the party. She stayed back earlier because she wanted to make a good impression on Kai Xin. However, she just saw that the CEO of a partner company of Fan Entertainment was at the party as well, so she wanted to take this chance to talk to him and to talk about possible cooperation on a future project.

Kai Xin smiled. "Go. Thanks for accompanying me." 

After Angela Zhang left, Kai Xin glanced at Lu Ziyan and asked, "Oh, do you know the girl standing next to Han Ye as well? Angela said that her name is Xiao Lei. Is she the surrogate mother?"

Lu Ziyan nodded. "She's THE Xiao Xiao Lei. I'm surprised that President Du didn't tell you."

Hearing his words, Kai Xin sighed. "He's been so busy since the party began. Even though this is a small party, there are certain guests here that he has to pay attention to. And," she glanced at her bulging belly and said wryly, "I can't do much. I was talking to a prince from Saudi earlier, and I nearly fainted."

"Wait what?!" 

"Don't worry. It's normal. That's why I'm sitting down the whole time instead of running around to catch gossips. Don't tell my husband. I made the Prince Mohammad promise not to tell XiAn about it, and he's the only one who knows about it." 

Lu Ziyan nodded. "Fine. As long as you know your own body. By the way, what else do you want to know about Xiao Lei? I'm only involved in certain things, so it's not like I know everything." 

Kai Xin waved a hand nonchalantly as she said, "Nah, I want to talk to her myself... By the way, did you see Guangying anywhere? He said he'd be here."

"I called him earlier, and he said he's still on the way now," Lu Ziyan said with a smirk. "Apparently, his little lover was being clingy." 

"Ha!" Kai Xin laughed. "He's always complaining, but I bet he has a lot of fun with Callum at night..." 

When a naughty image of both men popped up in her head, she blushed slightly before laughing out loud. "Oh my god! I need to stop thinking about those two! One's my brother-in-law and one's my best friend!" 

Lu Ziyan laughed softly. "Gosh, please don't make me start thinking about what those two do at night. I'm NOT interested!" 

"Gosh, you're no fun. Luckily, Rin and Naomi are both staunch supporters. Did you know that Rin has a small treasure chest filled with BL related novels?"

Lu Ziyan chuckled. "No way!"

Kai Xin nodded while smiling widely. "Well... She had them... Ki Hong got jealous when he found out about it a few days ago. He hid them the chest somewhere and refused to tell her the whereabouts of the chest. So, right now, she's punishing him by leaving Ki Rin with him the whole time."

Lu Ziyan laughed. "That guy's going to give up soon. I can see that." 

Kai Xin agreed. Ki Hong both loved and feared his wife and daughter. He would crumble soon enough.  

Lu Ziyan looked around the garden before asking, "Oh yeah... Where are your dad and his family? I didn't see them. I did see Sima Erden sitting at a corner... talking to the air." 

Kai Xin shuddered. "Let's not talk about Erden. He's... special. Anytime there's a party here, he'd be mumbling to himself. Mum said that he's talking to someone we can't see and that we shouldn't worry too much about him. And anyway, my dad's side is not coming. They didn't say why, but my guess is that they are busy. Or maybe they are at An Xin and her husband's place. XiAn told me that they are having a party as well. "

"I'm sure they do..." Lu Ziyan mumbled while his eyes glint with anger and his hands gripped tightly on the arms of his wheelchair. 

"Why are you looking so upset?" Kai Xin asked curiously while popping a gr.a.p.e into her mouth. 

Lu Ziyan glanced at Kai Xin and after a few seconds, he sighed. "Kai Xin, looks like they didn't tell you anything yet." 

"What?"

"An Xin is divorced." 

Kai Xin was about to put the second piece of gr.a.p.e into his mouth when she heard the words that came out of Lu Ziyan's mouth. "What? When?!" 

"A few days back."

She frowned and put the plate of fruits aside. "Nobody told me about it." 

"I don't think President Du knows about it yet. That man doesn't have eyes for anyone other than you. And... I don't think An Xin wants anyone to know."

Feeling a slight pain in her belly, Kai Xin took a deep breath before glancing down at her belly. As she rubbed her belly gently, she said in a calm voice, "Mummy is fine... Calm down..." 

"What's wrong?"

"He's just being an overprotective guy like his dad..." Kai Xin smirked. "It's fine. He just kicked me a couple of times. I think he's feeling stuffy in there." 

Lu Ziyan smiled and reached over to pat Kai Xin's belly. "There, there. We'll see you soon."

Once he pulled his hand back, he said to Kai Xin, "An Xin's matter... I'm just letting you know so that you won't worry too much in case you find out in the future."

When she saw how determined he looked, Kai Xin could not help but ask, "Ziyan, is everything alright?"

"I'm dealing with An Xin's matter myself," he replied, which caused Kai Xin's mouth to fall open slightly.

Kai Xin stared at him for a few seconds before bursting out in laughter. "Oh god, you are actually in love with An Xin? Ah! I won the bet!" 

"What? What bet?" He frowned. 

She reached over to pat him on his left knee as she explained, "Guangying and I made a bet. I bet that you'll make your move after she gets a divorce while he bets that you'll make a move before her divorce." 

Lu Ziyan waved his hands around with a confused expression. "Waaiiitt... What do you mean?"

Kai Xin chuckled. "Come on, we can tell that you're interested in her. You might be good at hiding your presence online, but offline, you're easier to read than my little daughter." 

"Damn it..." He cursed and glanced at Kai Xin. After a moment of hesitation, he asked with a whispery voice, "You're fine with it?" 

She smiled and nodded. With a sigh, she added, "XiAn told me that Thomas Ou is cheating on An Xin."
