<h4>34 Returning Home - Part 1</h4>


    After assisting Anna Jones into the front seat of the BMW, Hou Yi walked around and got behind the driver''s wheel.


    He started the engine and started to drive off.He quietly said "Thank you for not getting upset about what happened there.I had heard stories about some of the personal shoppers at M Mall, it was just a pity that we had to run into one of them.As soon as I realised what she was trying to do, I knew that I needed to establish you as my wife and that we has a love match.She will gossip, and the rumours will get around, about my marriage, and that my wife and I can apparently not keep out hands off each other.Whether people believe the rumours or not, it will be their choice, but until it is confirmed they will treat you with respect as they will not want to offend me."


    Anna was quite but Hou Yi paused and thought about what to say."I know that when we agreed to marry, it was on certain conditions, and more than likely there I pushed the boundaries on what you werefortable with.I can only apologise to you for that.All I wanted to do, is protect you and establish quickly that our rtionship is legitimate.Please do not let that impact your ability to keep the promise that I extracted from you, in that you would give our rtionship a chance to develop into whatever it could be, and nothing would be done to force anything.I will stand by it."


    By this time Anna was highly angry."You damn well better keep your promises, or I will make sure you pay.I do not need this now."


    Hou Yi realised that he had pushed his luck with Anna now "I will remember Anna," responded Hou Yi with humility.


    Anna then burst outughing."You are so easy to wind up Hou Yi.I knew what you were doing, and yed along with it.I just wanted to see you grovel and apologise to me."


    "Anna, what am I going to do with you," replied Hou Yi, alsoughing.


    He paused and thought that there was one other matter that they need to resolve at this time."Anna, we need to have the story that we are going to tell everyone about their rtionship.What I cane up with is, that we first met at ANX Lawyers.It is the most logical ce and I was there 6 months ago.We use ANX in Australia as a wife of a friend from Univeristy''s younger brother rmended them.We would then confirm that as you were engaged, I simply epted a friendship.We would say that wemunicated through instant messaging apps, which would exin theck of any electronic trail.We do not have to confirm that I knew exactly who you were engaged to.We can then say that you started to have doubts about marrying him, and all that I did was say to you make the choice that makes you happy.Then, as we were both at the Australian Embassy on the day that youpleted the ability to marriage paperwork, we can say that we passed by each other and you decided not to marry Lu Jinhu.We spoke through the instant messaging apps, and you agreed to marry me, but this would not happen until such time as you had ended it with Hou Yi, and we would wait a few days, and I could ept that even if it cost me Hou Enterprises.However, we can say how he set you up, what he said outside the Civil Administration Bureau, etc, but not say the date, and say that we married today."


    "That is quite a tale."Sneered Anna


    "It might seem a tale, but the only untruths are the contact between you and I before today and that you nning to dump Lu Jinhu before today.I figured remaining as close to the truth as possible is the best way forward, and Assistant Wang, was working with my bestputer expert to create an small electronic trail that if anyone goes digging will establish our contact, to support the story."


    "Well, you have seemed to think of everything."A cynical Annamented.


    "Well how do you want to exin to everyone what happened, other than telling them we are using each other as a means to prevent disasters and get revenge on Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin then?"


    "How do you n, with your exnation exin howe you were prepared to marry Yang Lin today?"


    "All I was going to do was have her there and introduce her to Lu Jinhu, to see if they could develop a rtionship.The fact that they have married ys into that exnation well."


    "Smart a**e."


    "Well if you do not like my n, what will be your exnation to everyone?Come on, someone as bright as you should have an idea?"


    "I was going to tell the truth.Lu Jinhu dumped me, I ran into you and knocked you off your feet.The only lie I was going to say was that we instantly fell for each other.They I would say due to Lu Jinhu''s threats that we decided to marry immediately to protect me.Short, simple, and does not involve lies."


    "Answer this.Do you have your workptop with you?"


    "Yes, I do."


    With that Hou Yi quickly pulled the vehicle over, and looked at Anna "Which bag is it in?"


    "The Cabin Bag."


    With that Hou Yi, left the car running, opened the boot and got out, and went to the boot.The next thing Anna knew was that she was being handed her cabin bag."Well get it out, and I will set my mobile, for you to use its data."


    Quickly Anna, opened the cabin bag and extracted herptop, and turned it on.Hou Yi indicated "Let me know when you are ready for the password."


    About 30 secondster, Anna, indicated "I''m ready."With that Hou Yi showed her the password to enter to ess his mobile data, which she did.


    "Can I rmend you open up whatever software you use and search for HOUENT (Australia) Limited.That is Hou Enterprises Australian subsidiary."
