10 Chapter 010 - Ding Yi-Hou

Emma and her husbands are soaking in the hot water inside of the big bathhouse.

"Sorry, wife. I didn't know that you were so lonely without us." Jie-Jun said it as he hugs her from behind inside the tub.

Emma's face is red and hot from embarrassment. She can't believe her husbands came home and saw her...saw her masturbating. She can't face them anymore, this is just too embarrassing!

"Emma, we have been very busy lately. But I'll try to finish my work earlier from now on, so I can come home sooner to be with you." Jie-Wai said as he looks at Emma. He also wants to hug Emma like that too but he doesn't dare to fight his brother for her.

"Mm…" Emma nodded her head to reply. She's still too embarrassed to look up to see their face.

"Wife, I have signed up another business deal today. Hopefully, that guy will be here soon, so we can start making that manually operated washer. I have purchased a new store and hired extra people, so we can start the process of making more different kind of soap and detergent." Jie-Jun is reporting the process to his wife.

Hearing Jie-Jun talks about business, Emma through away her embarrassment and listens carefully.

"I have written down the ingredients for the soap and detergents. There are about 10 different scents for now. I also plan to open a store especially to sell scented soap and other skincare products in the future."

The soap and detergent sound like nothing much, but in this world, the creation of soap and detergent are still fairly new. It was first invented in a foreign country and is being sold all over the world. But the soap here is just the bare basic of what Emma knows. Those people still haven't learned what other ingredients can also be used to make better soap. They still don't know that fragrance and scent can also be added to it. There's no such thing as perfume here either. Women will soak themselves in a bath full of flower petals to make themselves smell nice. Emma feels like she can definitely make lots of money in this area. She can open something like the bath body works from her world here in this world.

"Wife, you are just too awesome. How do you know so many things? And how did you come up with that design to make the washer?" Jie-Jun has been very curious about that, and so is Jie-Wai.

Emma can't tell them that she knows because she's from the other world, so she thought about it and decides to make something up.

"Um...well, you see. My mother came from a far away foreign country, so I have been reading lots of books from all over the world since young. I saw something similar to a washer in the books before, I used the knowledge that I have learned from the books and added my own creation to it. I have always had an interest in creating new things." It really isn't a lie, since she really did read about how to make a washer before in a book from another world. And it also isn't a lie that she likes to create new things. Ever since she became friends with her weird scientist/inventor neighbor, she has learned a lot from him and has gotten interested in making new things.

"Wow! Emma, you are so smart!" Jie-Wai said it with admiration in his eyes as he looks at his wife.

"Wife, you planned to open a store for skincare products too?" This was not written on the proposal, so Jie-Jun is a little surprised when she mention it just now.

"Um….mm...the truth is, I have always wanted to build a wealth kingdom of my own. Ever since I was young, I have started thinking about how to do business and what new type of business that I can make." This is also the truth, Emma has worked many different part-time jobs when she's younger. One reason is that she needs the money, and the other reason is to gain experiences. She even studies business and finance in college.

"Wow! I never knew my wife is so ambitious! But if this is what you really want, then I will be happy to help you achieve it." Jie-Jun is so surprised by Emma's words, but if this is what she really wants, then he will help her achieve with all he can.

"Emma, I'll support you on whatever you want to do!" Jie-Wai is also surprised by Emma's word too, but he will always stand behind her.

"Thank you, I know I can do it with the help of you two." Emma thought that husbands would laugh at her dream. But they didn't, and they are willing to help her to achieve her dream. How can she not be touched by them?

They have talked for a little bit more, then they went to bed. The next morning, the brothers went to work as usual since there are so many things left to do. Emma was left all alone again, so she decides to go outside for a walk around town.

As she walks around town, she noticed lots of small stands selling interesting things. But nothing really stood out that interest her enough to buy. Emma isn't like any other ladies that like shopping, she is a smart shopper. Well, that's according to herself. And as a frugal person, she decides to have lunch at the restaurant that her husband owns. Why would she spend money at someone else 's restaurant to eat when she can eat for free at her husband's restaurant.

She arrived at the restaurant but saw a dirty looking man at the front door. He was denied entrance by the restaurant staff. One of the staff saw Emma, he immediately recognized her and went up to greet her.

"Madame, how are you doing? Are you here to see the owner? The restaurant staff greeted her with respect.

"Yes, I want to have lunch with them. Are they here? She's looking at that dirty man ask she replies to the staff.

"Owner is here, I'll bring you inside and let him know that you have come." The staff turns around to lead the way inside, the but he was stopped by Emma.

"Wait. What's going on over there?" She wants to know what's going on. It's not good for business if they are only denying the entry of that man due to his dirty clothing. Emma knows fully well that some wealthy people like to dress dirty or poor so that other's won't be after their wealth.

"Madame, that man dressed like a beggar and is asking to see the owner, he's not a customer." The staff tries to explain it to her, he's worried that the madame might misunderstand that they are turning away a customer.

"He's here to see the owner? Did he say his name?"

"No, he keeps saying he's here to see the owner and is calling the owner by his name."

"Oh. If he is calling the owner by his name, there's a chance that they really know each other. Go inside to get Jie-Jun and I'll go talk to that man."

"But…" Before he can say anything else, she already walked towards that man. If anything happens to the Madame, he's going to get fired by the owner. So, he immediately went inside to get the owner to come out.

As Emma gets closer to that man, she can clearly see how he looks. He is dressed in dirty messy clothes but can tell that it's made with high-quality material. His face is unkempt with lots of facial hair, but his eyes stood out the most. He has a pair of very pretty hazelnut colored eyes, he is definitely not a pure Chinese. Like her, he's of mixed race. He had a huge backpack on his back with two big pieces of luggage by her feet. It seems like he came here from a faraway place. Wait, he came from a faraway place? He can't that person, can he? He looks a lot older than that person's age.

"Um…excuse me. Are you here to see Ding Jie-Jun?

The man turns around to look at the woman who just spoke to him. He doesn't know who this woman is, but he still nodded his head to reply to her question.

Seeing him nodded his head, she continues to talk.

"Um…is your surname Ding?

He continues to nod his head to reply. Emma had a feeling he's that man and this just confirmed her thoughts. Before she can say anything else, Jie-Jun came out of the restaurant. When he saw that man, he was surprised.

"Yi-Hou, you are here already!" Jie-Jim immediately ran up to him. He also sees his wife there next to Yi-Hou. "Ah. Emma, you are here too."

"Yeah, I was walking around town and thought that I should come by to have lunch with you and Jie-Wai.

The staff that went to get the owner saw that the owner seems to know that man. So he goes up to ask the owner he to see if he really knows that man.

"Owner, this man here keep saying that he wants to see you. Do you happen to know him?

"Of course, he's my cousin. I told him to come here to look for me at this restaurant. But I didn't expect him to be here already. According to the schedule, he shouldn't be here until next week."

"I'm sorry, owner. I didn't know he is your cousin and has denied him from coming in to see you." He is worried that the owner will be mad at him for denying his cousin to come inside to see him. Luckily, Madame made him go get the owner, otherwise, he will make a bigger mistake.

"It's okay. Don't worry about. I know his personality, he probably didn't explain himself that's why you didn't know the reason he's here." He then turns to Emma and Ding Yi-Hou, "let's go in to talk while we eat lunch together."

The three of them went inside to the restaurant toward the owner's private room. Once inside the room, Jie-Jun introduces his cousin and wife to each other. The food was served quickly and Ding Yi-Hou didn't wait for anyone and starts eating first by himself.

"Don't mind him, he's like that," Jie-Jun said as he picks up his chopstick to pick a piece of the meat up and placed it in Emma's bowl.

"Where's Jie-Wai? How come he's not here?" She's wondering where Jie-Wai is since she didn't see him around since coming into the restaurant.

"He's at the farm right now to get more ingredients for the restaurant."

"You have a farm too?"

"Yes, we grow our own vegetable. That way we can always have the freshest ingredients and is cheaper to grow our own vegetables than to buy it from the outside."

"I see."

They finished eating the food and starts talking about making the washer. When it comes to making the washer, it has brought Ding Yi-Hou's attention back to them. He came here especially for that. When he got the letter from Jie-Jun about helping him make a manually operated washing machine, it has piqued his interest. The description sounds very interesting and it seems like there's someone here that has a creative mind.

"Yi-Hou, the washer was designed by Emma. I hope you can work with her to make it. I have especially converted the big storage room into a workshop for you. You haven't seen the drawing design yet. Emma will show it to you later when you two go back home, you can also ask her questions regarding the design."

Ding Yi-Hou immediately got up to leave the room.

"Wait, where are you going?" Jie-Jun asked.

"Go home, see design picture," Yi-Hou answered with simple words.

"Wait a little bit, I'll have someone prepare the horse carriage for you two. You don't know where we live, do you?" Jie-Jun is speechless with Yi-Hou, he hasn't changed at all. He's still talking less and is always rushes into doing things that interest him.

"Emma, can you take him back with you first. The drawing of the design is on my desk, you can show it to him. I'll try to finish work quick today and come back home earlier."

"Okay, I understand. I'll see you at home later." Emma walks toward the door to leave since Ding Yi-Hou is already outside.

Right before Emma reaches the door, Jie-Jun pulls Emma back and closed the door. He uses his arms to hug her tight.

"Husband, I have to go. Yi-Hou is still waiting outside." It is time like this when no one is around that she will call him husband instead of his name. She tries to lightly push him away, but she also likes the hug too.

Hearing her called him husband, he hugs her even tighter. "Just let me hug you for a little bit longer to recharge myself." After hugging her for a whole minute, he unwillingly let her go, but not before he gives her a kiss on her lips first. The kiss is light at first but slowly heats up. They kissed until Emma is almost out of breath before he would let her go.

Jie-Jun saw them off and then went back to work. About an hour after Emma left, Jie-Wai came back to the restaurant. When he found out that Emma came to look for them to have lunch together, but he's not here. He got upset! Why did he have to go out at that time? So he decides to finish work quick today, so he can go home early today to have dinner with Emma.

————————————

On the horse carriage back home, Emma is sitting inside with Yi-Hou. It is complete silence in there, but that didn't bother Emma at all. She knows this kind of person doesn't like to talk.

After reaching home, Emma had servants bring Yi-Hou to his room. But he only wants to follow her to go see the drawing of the design immediately. Emma promised to bring him the drawing and told him to go put away his luggage first.

Emma did bring the drawing to his room for him. She points out a few main points of the design and tells him what to look out for. Soon, it's night time and the Ding's brother came home early from work. They didn't see their cousin Yi-Hou around at dinner time, so they asked Emma where he is.

Emma took a deep breath and told them that after seeing the design of the manual washer. Yi-Hou has started working in the workshop that was converted for him. The brothers also shake their head helplessly, they knew exactly how their cousin is. They had dinner together and told the servants to bring some food to the workshop for Yi-Hou.

It's been a while since the brothers are home early, they want to spend time with their wife. So they went to take a bath first by themselves since Emma has already taken a bath before they came home. They then sit on the bed together and talk about their day today. After talking for a while, Emma expressed that she's tired and wants to go to sleep.

The brothers didn't leave, they wanted to sleep in the same room as her. They lay down on the bed to sleep but the brothers' hand wouldn't leave her alone.

"Wife, I don't want you to to be lonely again, so let us love you again tonight," Jie-Jun said it as he touches her pair of softies.

"Emma, I'm sorry that I didn't get to have lunch with you today. Let me make it up to you." Jie-Wai said it as he massages her thighs, working for his hands up to her round softness behind.

Emma just rolled her eyes at her husbands, what kind of excuse is this! And she is very tired today, after looking at the design of the washer. The quiet Y-Hou suddenly changed into a different person and asked her tons of questions. She's tired from dealing with him and answering his questions. But seeing her husbands' desiring eyes, she can't refuse them. She starts off kissing Jie-Wai first since he's in front of her, while he has his hands on her smooth round behind.

Jie-Jun is touching and rubbing her pair softies, then he uses one hand to massage her private area to look for her sweet spot's opening. Just when things start to heat up, and the brothers want to take off Emma's clothes. The door flew opened.

Bam! The door flew open and Yi-Hou runs inside.

"Emma, I have a question about the washer." He looked straight at Emma, the Ding brothers are invisible to his eyes. He didn't care what they were doing, all he cares is getting the answer to his question.

"Ah!!!! Yi-Hou, can you go back first! I promised I'll look for you in a minute!" Emma rushed to say it, hoping he would leave first.

The Ding brothers were about to get up and say something to him, but Yi-Hou left first before they can say anything.

Emma immediately got up to fix her clothes.

"Wife, just ignore him…" Jie-Jun wants to pull Emma back but wasn't able to.

"If I don't go find him now to answer his question, he will come back again very soon." Emma knows since it's been happening a lot today. Somehow, Yi-Hou bursting into her room without knocking reminds her so much of her own mother.

Emma rushes out of the room, leaving the brothers speechless. Jie-Jun starts to regret bringing Yi-Hou into this house.

"Brother, can we kick him out?" Jie-Wai asked his older brother.

Jie-Jun signed deeply. "I think it's too late now." He also wants to kick him out too now, but he knows even if he kicks him out now, he will keep coming back. Once, Yi-Hou found something he's interested in, he won't stop until he accomplishes it.
