I Hate You, Devil!

Chapter 294 Final Arc Part XII

Back at Scarlet Hill.

"Where is Yu Chen?" Zaki asked the men in Yu Chen's mansion. He had just come from the sanatorium after resting up from finishing another round of his treatment. Having nothing else to do, he had decided to drop by and look for Yu Chen and Xiaolei as he remembered that the two would be having a private birthday celebration for Xiaolei this year.

He had remembered how extravagant and lavish Yu Chen had arranged and prepared for his wife's birthday last year. It was nothing short of being able to be compared to the grand birthday celebration of the nation's members of royalty. That was how much Yu Chen had splurged and gone all out for Xiaolei.

However, for Xiaolei, once was more than enough. She no longer enjoyed such lavishness and did not find it in her to show off either her wealth, or her husband's, nor did she wish to have all that fanfare of having unrelated and unnecessary people bringing her gifts and wishing her a 'Happy Birthday'. It all just felt to hollow and meaningless. After being given the opportunity to live her life over, she realized that all she wanted during these special occasions were just the well wishes and companionship of only her loved ones – family and close friends.

But due to last year's extravagant and overly eye-catching birthday celebration, this year Xiaolei had requested that she spent it only with her beloved husband. But knowing that there were other family members and close friends who wanted to celebrate it with her as well, she had intended to have a small gathering with them, having a private and quiet meal over the weekend in their home.

Though knowing this, Zaki decided to be a nuisance and drop by to bother the couple. After all, it was already way past breakfast. Both Yu Chen and Xiaolei should be up and about by now, even if they had been all lovey dovey and spent a hot and passionate time last night. Right? Having these mischievous thoughts in his mind, Zaki snickered and made his way into to the couple's mansion, making himself comfortable as though it was his own home.

After walking into the living hall and then strolling over to the kitchen, Zaki did not see any traces of the couple being around nor any evidence of them having celebrated Xiaolei's birthday last night. Were they not supposed to be back home? He clearly remembered Yu Chen mentioning it to him that they would be spending a quiet night at home – just the two of them.

This was the reason that brought him to check their whereabouts with Yu Chen's men.

"Seems like the boss had suddenly left last night to look for the lady boss... but I'm not sure why they have yet to return." One of the men answered. "Is there any problems Mr. Chen? Should I contact him?"

Zaki raised his brows at the reply. Yu Chen had rushed out to look for Xiaolei? And they still were not back even after a whole night out? This sounds like some impulsive birthday surprise that Yu Chen decided to spring onto his wife. Then a knowing and understanding smile spread across his lips as he remembered his recent conversation with Yu Chen.

'Most probably the boy had taken my advice and gone ahead to argue with his wife? Then they must have had a hell of a make-up sex session seeing that they aren't home yet at this hour.' Zaki thought to himself. He then chuckled, thinking that it was about time that the man expressed himself honestly to his wife. A naughty grin spread across his face as he thought of how intense the battle in bed must be between the husband and wife as this would be the first time they would argue in the years that they had been married.

Turning that all-knowing yet secretive grin at the men, he only said, "No need. There's no need to disturb the man. I'll just wait around until he comes back." Zaki then waved them off, telling them that there was no need for them to bother with him. After all, he was not a guest to this place. Then he simply turned away and strolled back towards the door while humming happily, his steps light and bouncy. The men could do nothing but look on confusedly, not understanding what was going on with the sudden mood change. They just exchanged looks and shrugged.

Zaki plopped himself down onto the spacious and luxurious sofa in the living hall. He thought that he would just go ahead and wait here for Yu Chen and Xiaolei to come back from their impromptu escapade before the three of them make their way back together to the sanatorium to check on Juu and Kyuu's conditions and how they were faring with the treatments so far.

"Alright, I guess I should take this rare chance and catch up on some sleep while the kid is still out with his wife." Zaki muttered to himself. He had not had the chance to catch any sleep last night – not even a quick 40 winks. His mind had stayed awake thinking about Hinari and finally, about his future with her. The fact that there was the word – future – was already enough to excite him. And with the further thoughts of finally being able to give her the bundle of joy she had been requesting him so badly for so long, just made him even happier. And when he imagined their very own little one coming and making a little family of three, Zaki could not contain the blissful swelling in his heart that he was unable to sleep at all last night from all the adrenaline rushing through his system. He had no idea he could even feel this kind of joy and thrill at the simple thought of his future child. He could not imagine how amazing it would be like when they truly welcomed their very own flesh and blood for real in the future.

"Chen better not take too long with Xiaolei." He pretended to grouse before laughing out loud, not bothered that only his loud laughter was filling the living area and having the guards outside thinking that he was crazy laughing on his own. After having fun laughing alone, he calmed himself before lying down and stretching out on the sofa, releasing a satisfied breath.

Lounging there on his own, with a silly little grin adorning his good-looking face, Zaki sighed again in contentment and a moment later, his large frame relaxed further into the sofa and steadily drifted off to sleep.
