She wanted to hide because of the embarrassing situation she placed herself in. It was a good thing that Su Lei and Shu Yang didn't say a thing until they reached the mall.

"Mr. Su, let me accompany you. I remember that I have to buy something for my sister." Shu Yang didn't want to be left off with this shameless couple! His single was already feeling so bitter ever since he accompanied Xia Meilin in the police department.

After the two left, Xia Meilin was finally able to relax her tensed shoulders.

"I can't believe that I said those words in their presence." She covered her blushing face with her hands.

Whenever Lu Yifeng was beside her, she would quickly forget that there were others around them.

Lu Yifeng couldn't help but chuckle when he saw how adorable his wife was acting. "Come here." He pulled her in his arms.

She buried her face on his bare chest. "It's your fault you know... I wouldn't have said that if you didn't distract me." She raised her head and looked at him, "By the way, Kang Lin won't keep quiet after this day... and so will Yong Biqi."

"Don't worry, I have already taken care of it, everything is going according to what we have planned. Kang Lin or Yong Biqi, they'll be taken care together."

"How about Feng Huiqing?"

"Feng Ning has already started to take actions against him."

Xia Meilin sighed in relief. If things really went according to what they want, then it wouldn't be long before everything will go back to how it is. She will be able to finally bring her children home.

Lu Yifeng smiled as he stroked her hair to comfort her. "I missed you."

"You stink." She wrapped her arms around him. "You should take a bath as soon as we get home, okay?"

He looked down at her and pinched her cheek lightly. "You're supposed to tell me that you missed me too."

She chuckled softly, "I missed you too." She touched his cheeks with both hands before she leaned and kissed him lovingly on his lips.

It wasn't long before things became heated for both of them because of how much they yearn for each other. They may be apart for a few weeks only but for them, it felt like it was years already.

...

By the time the two assistants returned, they noticed how red Xia Meilin's face was.

Shu Yang and Su Lei didn't say a thing but just by looking at each other, they already had an idea of what happened between the two married couple.

They chose to be quiet the whole time with awkwardness surrounding the two of them.

As soon as Lu Yifeng and Xia Meilin arrived home, they were greeted by Lu Yifeng's mother, Jing Yue.

"Yifeng!" She went and hugged him. She was happy to see that he was fine.

After seeing the News, as a mother, she couldn't help but get worried even if Lu Xian Yu has already told her everything about the situation. Well... Lu Xian Yu was forced by her so he doesn't really have a choice but to spill the beans out.

Jing Yue turned to Xia Meilin and gave her a hug as well. "Thank you for protecting him." Aside from the News for that day, the video that was taken by Xia Meilin's fans earlier quickly circulated in the media.

Of course, this angered Kang Lin's fans since Xia Meilin was indirectly telling that their beloved idol was a liar.

Xia Meilin smiled as she hugged her mother-in-law back. "Mother, you shouldn't worry about anything, I got my husband's back." She smiled at her.

Jing Yue never doubted Xia Meilin, that's why she was happy to see that Xia Meilin reached to her expectations.

The three went to have their dinner together and as they do, Xia Meilin introduced her twin daughters to Jing Yue.

After their dinner, Xia Meilin showed her daughter's photos to them and because of it, Jing Yue was so eager to meet them. "Why don't you bring them here? They can stay in Guangzhou with me. Father Lu will definitely love them too. The safest place in this country is with us."

Xia Meilin turned to Lu Yifeng as if asking with her eyes on what should she do?

To be able to have their children in reach, Xia Meilin wanted that too but... protecting them from harm was their priority.

Lu Yifeng patted her head and smiled. "Mother can take care of the children better than Li Bingbing."

Xia Meilin sighed. She knows that what Lu Yifeng said was true. To be honest, she was really worried about leaving the children with Li Bingbing but because of her brother, Xia Sinian and her son, Little Melon, she knew that everything would be fine.

"Okay... but I can't go get them now, my schedule is full for this week."

Jing Yue's eyes lit up, "No worries, sweetheart. I can go get them, I will leave first thing in the morning."

----

The moment Xia Meilin entered the room with Lu Yifeng, he cornered her against the door.

"W-wait..." Xia Meilin breathed out while she was being kissed by Lu Yifeng in the crook of her neck. "You... You're supposed to take a bath... you stink!"

Lu Yifeng leaned back and look at her with a smirk on his lips. "Then let's go for a bath." He carried her in his arms like a bride.

She hugged him by his neck and smiled. "Will you buy me some pills later?"

Lu Yifeng stopped from his tracks, "Pills for what?"

"Birth control." She placed her hand on her cheek as she closed her eyes. "You see, a certain someone doesn't like to use a condom. I can't get pregnant again, you know."

He blinks a few times, "Aren't we going to build a whole volleyball team? six for regulars, four for substitutes. Three down, seven more to go."
