Chapter 221: Taking a bite of the Boss’s finger

After collecting their food, they drove for another five minutes before reaching the seaside villa. Han Xin had already instructed Butler Qing to prepare three more guest rooms. As they walked in, laden with bags of food, Butler Qing met them at the door.

"You could have told me that you hadn’t eaten dinner. I would have prepared something for—" Butler Qing’s voice trailed off as he noticed the little girls holding their bags of chicken, looking around with wide-eyed wonder.

"And who might this be?" Butler Qing asked, his curiosity piqued.

Xiang Yu stepped forward. "That’s Lian, and that is Mei. They are my little girls."

Butler Qing’s eyes widened in surprise. He glanced at Han Xin, who was taking off his suit jacket with his back turned. Han Zhan, sensing the butler’s confusion, added, "They are adopted."

"Oh," Butler Qing said, crouching down to their level. "Hello, Lian and Mei. I am Butler Qing. You can call me Uncle Qing."

Mei giggled and said, "I am not Mei, I am Lian."

Lian joined in, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Yeah, I am Mei, Uncle."

Butler Qing chuckled, playing along. "Really? You two are so alike, this old uncle can’t tell who is who."

Xiang Yu found the exchange amusing, a rare smile tugging at his lips. While he was watching the twins mess with Butler Qing, Han Xin called him over. Xiang Yu walked across the room, his steps measured. Before he could say anything, Han Xin spoke, his tone firm. "Make yourself at home."

Xiang Yu hesitated, feeling a mix of gratitude and discomfort. "You really didn’t have to take us in," he said, his voice low.

Han Xin, pulling back his tie, stared at him with an intensity that left no room for argument. "You will stay here until it’s absolutely safe."

The finality in Han Xin’s voice was unmistakable. Xiang Yu nodded, accepting the decision. "Thank you. We will be out of your hair as soon as possible."

Just then, Han Xin’s phone rang. It was the head of security for the property. Han Xin raised a finger, signalling Xiang Yu to wait. Xiang Yu nodded and stepped back, giving him space.

Seeing that Xiang Yu was momentarily free, Little Bai approached him. "Brother, where am I staying? This place is too nice; I don’t want to be a burden."

Xiang Yu patted his shoulder reassuringly. "You can stay with me."
