Chapter 164 - Korea

During the first week of their stay in Korea, the couple was forced to live in the Yeong mansion together with Hanxi and Arti, Andrea's assistant. They met with Yeong Soon, Anton's foster mother and  Yeong Jae-won, his foster father. Arti supposedly had booked a hotel for them, but Yeong's parents were adamant to have them stay with them for at least a week. 

Yeong Soon pampered Andrea deeply that Lu Fang could tell, their children would also be loved by this family. They did not have kids of their own. Anton was their only child but did not even plan to marry. They longed to have grandchildren, but since their son may not bear them any, they looked forward to Andrea's babies instead. 

"Andy and Fang, I hope that you visit us ten times a year with the children," said Yeong Soon as her eyes gleamed in excitement. 

The man's eyes grew wide and exclaimed to himself, 'What? ten times a year!'

Andrea sneered at the idea and said, "Mommy Soon, that may be too difficult. How about we find a girlfriend for Yeong!" 

"Oh, that would be nice except your brother thinks dogs are more likable species than female humans!"

"…"

It was true, Yeong was the worst kind when it comes to dealing with women. In fact, most of his executives were men. He used to have a female assistant but after she fell in love with him, even dared to confess, he not only fired her but also every other woman that worked closely with him.  

"Aunt, men in general, can change. I used to be a snob too - "

"You still are, babe. At least to those, you don't know," she turned to Yeong Soon and added," But, I agree, Mommy Soon. Li Wen told me before that her husband used to be so arrogant and indifferent, but I don't see that side of him anymore! I think love can change a man."

Andrea chuckled at the thought of her brother falling in love and turning soft. If only she can find someone for him.

Only then she realized she needed to make girlfriends. How else could she match her brother if she did not know any girls herself? Her only female friends were her sister and now recently, Xia Yanmei thanks to her participation in the company. 

She froze almost instantly, suddenly having a lightbulb moment. Xia Yanmei. She is smart. A Xia. Stubborn just like her brother. She is also beautiful and had not been linked to anyone since they met. From what she heard, Yanmei had not dated anyone since college. She had a naughty grin on her face and thought of a new career, playing cupid. 

Aside from training with Yeong, they were also there to branch out Lu-Wei Enterprises' commodity infrastructure investments. Thus, she planned for Yanmei to visit Korea and have her manage the progress with the help of Yeong. 

The couple decided they would implement that plan in three or four weeks, just when the man would nearly finish his practice with Yeong. 

After a few days, they finally found an excuse to stay in a hotel explaining to the Yeongs that they needed to be closer to the city for Andrea's daily needs, and for Lu Fang's access to the Anton Yeong's underground facility. 

Every Monday, Lu Fang would join Yeong during his business meetings. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, they would steadily root Lu-Wei's Enterprises' trade in Korea. Thursdays to Saturday mornings, they would test Lu Fang's agility and speed through a series of flights with Anton himself. 

Just after their first match, Lu Fang's back was bruised, his face now had a small cut on his left cheek. This greatly angered Andrea that she nagged at her brother for days. " Yeong, don't ever wound my husband's face. It's his most precious asset!" Then she paused at her words and thought, 'Maybe second to the one under his pants.'.

"Andy, how am I supposed to teach Lu Fang if I have to be careful with his face! He might as well wear a protective mask!"

The next day, Yeong could only regret making suggestions as Andrea was efficient enough to secure a TK full-face protector. 

As the man wore them, he could not help but complain, "Babe, I feel like I can't breathe in them. I really don't need to wear them." He turned to Yeong and tried to get some support, "Right, Bro? You won't be aiming for my face this time?"

"No!" She protested, "If anything happens to your face, your babies won't recognize you!"

Hanxi and Han-joon were listening in from behind them and laughed at Andrea's protectiveness over the man's handsome face. They both realized that good looks have their shamefulness. 

"The babies haven't met their father, yet Andy. Don't be silly!" Yeong protested.

"Are you kidding me? I have described Lu Fang to them several times a day and since they are as smart as Li Wen, they will immediately know it's him!"

Of course, Andrea was only making excuses involving the babies so they would all stop resisting. 

The good thing was, she was almost always asleep half the time they were training. So in between, Lu Fang would removed his mask. 

After just two weeks of fighting and training with Yeong, the man could already avoid most of his attacks cutting it down into half the number of bruises on his body, compared to the first week. Twice, Yeong had brought him to the mountains and simply meditate, enhancing his state of mind and wellbeing. 

On Sundays, the couple would dedicate it for themselves. They would either go shopping or simply snuggle in bed, resting themselves to sleep. 

Harold Smith and his family made their way to Korea, and they were to meet the couple for dinner. After learning about Lu Fang's personality and interest, he briefed his daughter properly. 

"Patricia, my sources told me that he does not like it when women go after him. So you will need to act the part of a reserved woman."

That disappointed her. She was an impatient, spoiled woman, but she did not have a choice and confirmed, "Okay."

"You have to befriend his wife, otherwise, you will make an enemy out of him. He dotes on her very much so we need to be very careful."

"Yes, Dad, I will. I will make her believe and trust in me. She will not see me coming to take her man!"

Patricia looked herself up in the mirror and was satisfied with her beauty and elegant clothes. She was sexy and gorgeous, way much younger than Lu Fang's wife. She was confident he would get his attention tonight and make him leave Andrea soon enough.  

For days she had been daydreaming of the man, touching herself, imagining they were his, lying down in a bed with his photos scattered across. Now that this day had finally come she intends to make it count and leave a good impression. She will have to be patient and slowly win him over. 

She flipped her golden yellow hair before saying, "Lu Fang, here I come to get you, baby."
