The President’s Man - Chapter 360

“They are reaching in 15 minutes!” Han Ye murmured as he looked at his phone. He was supervising the staff that was preparing the teatime snacks when he received the message from Xiao Zhihao.

He then quickly went to the garden to check as that was where they would be having tea first before dinner. His soup was done and all he had to do was to heat it up later. As for the other dishes, he planned to cook them later on.

They would be having light tea at 4.30 pm and dinner at 7 pm, around the time the younger kids would wake up from their naps.

At the same time, he told the servants to inform everyone so that they would not say anything that would give out the surprise party. He knew that the twins and Tian Le went to shower 15 minutes ago, while the younger kids were being tended to by their respective parents.

As for the rest of the a.d.u.l.ts, they were already enjoying their alcoholic drink, courtesy of Callum and Luo Guangying. And in Luo Guangying’s words, “it was mostly Callum, and be careful since he likes it strong”.

Han Ye could only hope that everyone had a high tolerance for alcohol. It would not be a good idea to have a party full of drunken a.d.u.l.ts… and he knew what Callum could be like when he was drunk.

“Han Ye, shouldn’t you change out of your clothes?” Old Madam Du asked. She was heading to the garden to hang out with her friends and family when she passed by Han Ye who was talking to a senior staff member. “You smell like the kitchen. Go and change now before your guest arrives.”

Han Ye took a sniff at himself and nodded. “Thanks, Old Madam Du, I should go and clean up now.”

He then jogged to one of the guest bedroom. Due to his previous frequency of staying over at the Du Mansion, DX had actually set aside a guest bedroom, which was meant for him only, and so, he had everything he needed here. After taking a quick shower, Han Ye changed into a white slim fit shirt with blue penguins on them and a pair of dark blue jeans.

Knock! Knock!

“Mr. Han, Madam President Du asked me to let you know that your guest has arrived.”

Han Ye quickly replied, “Alright. I’ll be right out!”

He was about to leave when he noticed that his hair was a little flat, so he quickly gelled it up. On the way up, he even picked up a pair of aviator sunglasses and placed it in his shirt pocket for decoration.

When he got down to the living room, he saw that Xiao Lei was chatting with Kai Xin while holding Baby Wyatt in her arms, and he wondered if Xiao Lei would one day hold a child of theirs in the same way.

…

“Arggh… He’s so cute!” Xiao Lei chuckled as she carefully gave Wyatt back to his mother. She had a mind of taking Wyatt back with her for a couple of days, but she did not think that his parents would like it very much.

“I know, right?” Kai Xin smiled as she adjusted Wyatt’s position in her arms. “Unfortunately, his father did not think so…”

Xiao Lei glanced at DX, who was standing behind Kai Xin, and smiled. “I’m sure that President Du thought the same.”

She then looked at Kai Xin and said, “Fathers are like that when it comes to boys, especially boys who took their wives and daughters’ attention away. My father was like that as well…”

Kai Xin and DX glanced at each other, but they did not say anything. Not long after he found out about it, Han Ye had told them everything about Xiao Lei, including her real identity. He knew that with his own strength, there was no way he could protect Xiao Lei properly. So, he asked for DX’s help.

DX was lazy to settle Han Ye’s problems for him, but he told Han Ye that as long as he knew what he was doing, he could just use Du Corporation’s power. If he had to get rid of someone, all he had to do was to go straight to the Shenlong Family and use DX’s name.

Kai Xin looked at Xiao Lei, and she kept her mouth shut. Han Ye told them that Xiao Lei would not want them to know, at least not until everything was completely revealed to the world. He said that based on Xiao Lei’s character, she would not want to bother people, especially people that she barely knew.

“So, as long as we get closer to each other, this matter would be solved, right?” Kai Xin had asked Han Ye, upon which he could not answer. But no matter what, Kai Xin already set up her mind to get closer to Xiao Lei.

“Oh, there’s Han Ye…” Kai Xin said when she saw Han Ye walking down the stairs. She then said to him, “Hey, this is not very good host-like behavior, Han Ye. Your guests have been waiting for long.”

Han Ye smiled as he quickly joined them. He immediately went to stand next to Xiao Lei and placed a hand around her waist, which caused her to blush slightly. “Did you just arrive? Where’s Zhihao?”

“Em.” Xiao Lei nodded and said, “He went off with Lyle and Jack.”

She glanced up at him and saw that he had gelled his hair in a different style, and…

“Did you cut your hair?” Xiao Lei asked curiously. She could have sworn when she saw him last night, he had a way longer hair.

Han Ye nodded. “Yeah, I cut it earlier. Do you like it?” he asked with a smirk.

Xiao Lei gulped and nodded. “It looks good on you.”

Watching their interaction, Kai Xin was reminded of the times when she and DX were still dating in the dark. She looked up at her husband, who was looking back at her, and she smiled as she mouthed, “I love you.”

“Love you too…” DX mouthed back before reaching out to hold her hands. He then cleared his throat, and when Han Ye and Xiao Lei looked at him, he said, “Let’s go to the garden. Everyone is already there… The kids would come once they are done playing.”

Han Ye and Xiao Lei both nodded, and they walked behind DX and Kai Xin as they headed to the garden.
