Luo Xiaolei had brought Yu Chen upstairs to show him the boys' dorm. When they were in the kitchen, the food they ordered had arrived.
Gu Wei, along with two more guards behind him, entered the kitchen. However, as soon as his eyes fell on the eight boys already sitting obediently along a long table, he froze.
His eyes darted back and forth between the couple who was standing by the wall and the boys.
The kitchen was quiet. The boys were like a bunch of super behaved little kids.
"Oh, your food is here." Luo Xiaolei broke the silence and she walked towards Gu Wei. But as she walked closer to him, Gu Wei suddenly stepped back and pushed the other two men in black to step forward.
Luo Xiaolei took some of the bags they brought and put them on the table. When the boys saw the logo of the fanciest restaurant in the city, all they did was look at each other in surprise.
"Okay, now dig in boys." Luo Xiaolei cheerfully said before she turned and looked at the retreating Gu Wei.
"Mr. Gu?" she called out, her eyes were on the plastic bag he was hiding behind him.
"Uhm… err… this is nothing Miss." He was obviously flustered. He was even taking another step back as Luo Xiaolei approached him.
"This is for me and Guan Ye, hehe." He forced a laugh and then, he was about to dash out of the door when suddenly, someone took the bag from behind him.
Gu Wei instantly snapped his head behind him and was shocked. "Wahh!! Boss!!" he was so startled he almost fell to the floor.
When he saw that Yu Chen was quietly giving the bag to his wifey, Gu Wei's eyes widened. 'No!!!' he could only scream inside his head as he watched Luo Xiaolei look at what was inside it.
Another moment of silence went on.
Luo Xiaolei looked utterly speechless while Gu Wei looked like he was about to collapse.
"Mr. Gu, didn't you hear what I said on the phone?" Luo Xiaolei's voice was filled with disbelief. Her eyes were still on the baby bottles, with milk in them, in the bag as she spoke.
"Miss Luo, please forgive me! It's not like I didn't listen to you. It's just that… boss here said it was for babies two times! So I… I bought baby food just in case! I don't want to be killed, ya know? So to be safe, I bought both!" Gu Wei was crying without tears as he explained to Luo Xiaolei. "This is absolutely not because I don't believe what you said, Miss. T^T"
Luo Xiaolei could only sigh before he patted the man's shoulder. "It's okay, I understand. Thank you for bringing the food." She smiled and Gu Wei looked like the light of salvation had finally been bestowed upon him.
"Thank you, Miss Luo, you really are an angel. The most kind and the most beautiful angel," he said, finally smiling widely. However, his smile abruptly faded because of the sudden sharp and deadly invisible sword being pointed at his neck.
He turned his head like a robot towards his boss and he almost freaked out. 'God, boss!!! I just praised her! Why are you looking at me like I confessed my love to her or something like that?! Give me a break!! T^T'
While Gu Wei was racking his head to find a way to escape from this looming danger, his phone suddenly rang.
'Whew!! Cellphone-kun, thanks for saving me!' he cried inside him as he quickly excused himself and left the room like a tornado.
As soon as he stepped out, he breathed a deep sigh of relief and answered the call. However, the moment he heard what Jiang Min told him, Gu Wei's face instantly darkened. The playful look in his eyes abruptly disappeared and the air around him quickly became tensed.
When the call ended, he heaved another sigh. But this time, it wasn't a sigh of relief anymore, it was the opposite.
He then pushed the door and entered the room again. When he saw that Luo Xiaolei was busy helping the boys serve the food, Gu Wei swiftly moved behind Yu Chen and whispered in his ear.
Luo Xiaolei glanced at them until they both stepped out of the room.
The moment the door was shut closed, the well behaved young men burst out.
Some of them even stood noisily as they began asking her so many questions like they were reporters so eager to find out the truth.
"Big boss Xiao, who is that man?"
"Big sis, he's so scary! Even though he's so damn good looking, he's making my hair stand on end. He's so intimidating!"
"He's definitely 10 times scarier than my father when he's fuming!!"
Some of the boys were even rubbing their skin but the first reaction Luo Xiaolei gave them was a laugh.
"Haha, what are you guys saying? Yu Chen is scary? Not at all. How could an adorable man like him be scary?" she said as matter of factly and the boys could only blink at her in disbelief. 'S-she called him 'adorable'?'
"Big sis, d-don't tell me he is Yu Chen of Yu Empire." Lu Xiaotian was the one who asked and Xiaolei was smiled. This baby boy really knows a lot.
Luo Xiaolei didn't answer but her smile was enough for Lu Xiaotian to understand that the man was indeed the oh so mysterious Yu Chen of Yu empire.
Lu Xiaotian's extremely shocked expression made the other boys frown in curiosity.
"What? Yu Empire?" Yun Ren, the baby faced second youngest in the group innocently asked. But before anyone could answer him, the door opened again.
All heads snapped towards the door and as Yu Chen entered, the boys instantly turned to their well-behaved mode again.
Luo Xiaolei somehow felt that there seemed to be a problem so she told the boys that they were leaving. The boys quickly stood up and bid the couple farewell.
…
Outside Star Castle…
Luo Xiaolei was frowning hard because Yu Chen asked her to take another car. It seemed like there was really a problem and she could see that it was quite serious.
"Why? Is there a problem?" was all she could ask and when Yu Chen saw the worry in her eyes, he landed his hand on her head and caressed it gently.
"It's just a usual little problem. You have nothing to worry about," he assured her and Luo Xiaolei nodded, despite her still feeling quite uneasy.
"See you at home," he said as he shut the car's door closed.
When Luo Xiaolei's car was gone, Yu Chen sighed and entered the car.
His men were now in their watchful mode because they received a warning of a possible assassination attack again tonight. Well, this was nothing new so they were still relaxed. However, for some reason, their boss, who would usually be untroubled even if war was to break out before him, seemed to be uneasy?!
"Boss, don't tell me you're worried?" Gu Wei couldn't take it anymore and asked mischievously.
"That's right, I think… I feel uneasy." He replied and then sighed again. 'Whoah!!! That's your third sigh in a row!!!!'
"Haha, boss. Don't joke around. Shall I show you my real power –"
"Gu Wei... having ten sons definitely doesn't sound bad, right?"
"H-huh?"
"I'm planning to adopt those eight."
"W-what??!! Who?"
"Xiaolei's babies."
