128 Revealing her abuser
Monday, continued ...
Hou Yi paused, as he noticed Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin had walking into the building, so rather than giving a name he stared directly at Lu Jinhu.Anna did too, but at the same time Hou Yi noticed she was trembling slightly,Hou Yi signaled to the bodyguards to immediately remove Anna, and before he left "I am sorry we have to cut this short, but there is a threat to my wife."With this he was still directly looking at Lu Jinhu.
Yang Lin heard the comment about a threat to Anna, and forgetting the press and the image she wanted to project screamed "Stop running you b**th.You deserved what you got," before Lu Jinhu could even put his hand over her mouth to stop her.While he agreed with the sentiment that Yang Lin expressed he knew that you should never make statements like that when the press are nearby because all they will do is pounce on you and demand answers.
The press in hearing that, started to put two and two together, and surrounded Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin, throwing question after question at them, none of which they could answer, while getting closer and closer to the couple.
Hou Yi noticed that Lu Jinhu, was attempting to shield and protect Yang Lin, especially her stomach area.To him that confirmed the rumours he heard that Yang Lin might be pregnant, and this stopped Lu Jinhu's previous plans to have Anna raped at the time he dumped her, because he needed to be married as soon as possible to Yang Lin without scandal.One thing he did not want on his conscious is that their unborn child be injured or for Yang Lin to miscarry it because of this, particularly in his building.He quietly advised the security in the foyer area that they needed to protect Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin and ensure that they were able to safely leave the premises.
With that Hou Yi escorted Anna up to his office.He arranged for tea to be brought in to allow Anna to calm down.Anna sipped the drink for about 10 minutes and over this time Hou Yi could see the tension drifting out of her body.When she felt calm, she reached over to him, and kissed him on the cheek and whispered "Thank you," before kissing him again lightly on the cheek.
Anna paused before continuing "I cannot believe that Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin turned up at that exact time, we could not have scripted it.I think they understood the unsaid name, and I guess that is why they surrounded them."
Hou Yi replied "You are right, they arrived for us right on time.However, I am conscious that the media were surrounding them, and I told security to ensure that they get out of the building safely.
We do not need an incident happening here with them being harmed, particularly as there are rumours that Yang Lin is pregnant with Lu Jinhu's child"
"You are kidding me, that a**ehole was cheating on me with her."
"Anna do not worry.You do not have to have anything to do within him.What they did, does not matter."Hou Yi paused, and continued "I have to ask a question, you mentioned in that press conference about children?"
"Well what did you expect me to say.Look, we both know that I have said that I will give our relationship a chance, but I am struggling as Lu Jinhu continually is messing with my mind.Long term I am hopeful, but we also do not know what the future holds for us."Anna paused, knowing that she was starting to feel something for Hou Yi but not certain what it was.She blurted out "I am so tempted to walk out now."
Hou Yi had to take a breath to prevent him from blurting out what he wanted to tell his wife, that he loved her and wanted her to be with him for the rest of their lives."Anna, what happens in our relationship will be the future.At the present you need to focus on dealing with the impacts of confronting what he did to you during your relationship, then together we can make decisions about our relationship.Would you be OK if I arranged for a psychologist who deals with victims of intimate partner violence to come and speak to both of us.Will that help you?"
"I am willing to give it a go, it is not you, it is what he is doing to me still.He has messed me up so much in my mind.I thought getting revenge would make me feel good, but I do not know."
With that Anna threw herself into Hou Yi's arms and burst out crying.He simply held her until she stopped crying.He suggested to her that she clean up in his bathroom and could make a decision on what she wanted to do for the rest of the day, stay and work or go home.After she tidied up she decided to continue to work, and left to go back to her office.
When Anna left his office, Hou Yi picked up the telephone and dialed.Within 2 rings his call was answered "Hi Phillipa, it is Yi here."
