Chapter 19: So, we are married

19 So, we are married

Hou Yi and Anna Jones stepped back into the foyer they entered the Civil Administration Bureau, but now they were a married couple.

Hou Yi turned to Anna and took her hand.He then leaned into her, and quietly said "I think we should get out of here as soon as we can.I do not want to run into Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, and I am guessing that you do not either."

He looked at Anna, who simply nodded to Hou Yi.They walked across the foyer and outside the Civil Administration Bureau.When they were outside, Hou reached into a pocket and pulled out his mobile telephone and proceeded to dial Assistant Wang.When Assistant Wang answered, he stated "Assistant Wang, can you please meet us where you dropped me off in say 5 minutes."With that he terminated the call and placed the phone back into his pocket.

Hou Yi, turned to Anna, and said "My assistant, Wang Long is going to meet us in my car in about 5 minutes, around the corner, just past where we bumped into each other.So that I can immediately direct him to your hotel to collect your personal items, can you let me know which hotel you were staying at?"

Anna calmly indicated "The Key Plaza Hotel".She stopped and thought for a second "I hope that Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin are not there as I do not think that I can face them."

"Rather than delaying the inevitable, let us go there first so that you can collect your belongings, then there is no need to have to think about them.Once you have done that, we will go and do the other things we need to do."Indicated Hou Yi.He then reached down and took her left hand in his, and continued "We need to remove this, and I intend to replace it with something else.Further, and I am guessing given the selfishness that Lu Jinhu has demonstrated he did not want to wear a wedding ring?"

"Yes" was Anna's somewhat quite response. f𝗿𝗲e𝒘e𝚋n૦𝘃𝙚𝑙.com

"One of the stops that we will be making is Feng's Jewellers.While I intend to give you and engagement and wedding ring, you can pick a wedding ring for me.I have no intention of anyone not knowing that I am married, but they do not need to know who to, unless you want them to know.I can promise you that is your choice."With that he removed the engagement ring that Lu Jinhu had placed on Anna's finger and put it in his pocket.Anna, felt strange that it had been removed, but then realised that that ring was the starting point to what had gotten her to this point in time.Whether that is good or bad, she told herself is something that is left to be determined.

With that, they walked across the plaza, and luckily there was no sight of either Lu Jinhu or Yang Lin, for which both Hou Yi and Anna were grateful of.Neither of them at that time wanted to deal with either of those two people who had caused so much havoc in their lives.

As they rounded the corner to go past where Anna had knocked Hou Yi off his feet, and as Anna looks ahead, she sees what she knows is a Mercedes ahead of them with someone standing by it.This person immediately on spotting Hou Yi, opens the door to the vehicle, and as they arrive at the bows to Hou Yi and Anna. 𝑓re𝘦𝔀𝗲𝘣𝘯𝘰νℯ𝒍.c𝗼m

"Let me be the first to congratulate you on your marriage, Young Master, Young Madam."

Anna looked at Hou Yi, strangely, and he immediately realised she was confused at the address from Assistant Wang.

"Anna, this is my Assistant Wang Long.He has been working with the family since around the time I was born, firstly as a driver, before he migrated to being my father's assistant.When my father handed the business over to me, Assistant Wang, became my assistant.As he always called my father First Master and my uncle who died when I was ten Second Master, he has always, despite me telling him otherwise called me Young Master.It seems that he will call you Young Madam, recognising that you are my wife."

Hello Mr Wang", came Anna's response, once Hou Yi explained why he called her Young Madam.

"Please Young Madam, call me Assistant Wang, otherwise I think you will be looking for someone else."

"OK Assistant Wang, but please forgive me if I slip up."

With that, Assistant Wang turned to Hou Yi, and asked "Where to Young Master?"

"The Key Plaza Hotel, where my wife had been staying.We need to collect her belongings before we do anything else."

With that Hou Yi helped Anna into the vehicle, and sat beside her.Once he was in the vehicle Assistant Wang, walked around and got behind the wheel to drive them to the Key Plaza Hotel.
