Chapter 295 - A Good Bargain

In the afternoon they were getting ready to leave the island. Andrea wanted to ask Isabella about her reaction from their earlier conversation, but they would all not fit in one seaplane. 

While they were still in the family villa, packing, she pleaded with her husband for her and Hanxi to ride with Isabella instead, but Lu Fang would not agree. He asked, "What exactly are you planning, babe?"

Seeing him cross his arms against his chest as he probed, she pursed her lips before answering, "Babe, I'm thinking maybe Isabella will like Hanxi instead of me. So I'm pushing them together!"

The man shook his head. He thought, 'Here goes my wife again, planning for the lives of others.'

Lu Fang held her face with both hands and said, "Babe, you can't do this. You can't force things on them. One other matter we should remember is that Isabella may not yet be ready… Besides, they just met."

Andrea's frown became clear, and she said, "Well… we got together pretty fast."

The man chuckled out of nowhere and replied, "That was different."

"How was it different?"

"Because I liked you the moment I met you and the second time I met you I knew I wanted you badly," Lu Fang said with his eyes squinted at her. 

She flushed after her husband's confession. Not that she didn't recall, but being reminded of how he pursued her, it made her feel butterflies in her stomach. She felt like she was a teenager. 

"Besides, I'm different from Hanxi."

She smirked at his last remark and asked, "How different are you from Hanxi aside from your age gap?"

Lu Fang walked slowly towards her without a word, making her step back until she reached the wall. She was already holding her laughter at what he was going to say when she noticed him place both his hands against the wall, with her in between. 

"Babe, I don't stop until I get what I want and I am very impatient with not getting what I want. Plus, you did say I am an adonis so my pursuit of you and my handsome face must have turned you on," said Lu Fang before giving her a wink. 

He teased her with his mischievous grin and gave her a peck on the lips. He then whispered to her ear, "You are riding with your family. End of conversation. If you insist, I swear when we are in mid-air while heading back to China, I will drag you to the airplane restroom. Cramped or not."

Andrea got goosebumps all over. She could not understand the feeling when she was with her husband. It didn't seem like they have been together for almost two years. She thought, 'Why does Lu Fang have this effect on me until now?'

Then another thought came to her mind. She smiled back and wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "What if I don't mind being dragged into the restroom… Can I still ride with Isabella?"

"Besides, the seaplane ride is just an hour. You won't mind. Won't you?" Andrea said while playing with his collar, then slowly sliding her hands down to his chest. 

The man was in deep thought. He did not like what his wife was planning, but for him, it was a good bargain. He took a deep breath and gave instructions, "Don't force things. Just give light suggestions."

Andrea gave a bright smiled and agreed, "Okay."

LF: "Don't bring Hanxi just yet. I suggest you get to know her first."

A: "Errnn… Okay. That does seem reasonable."

LF: "Make sure you do not give her any wrong ideas. She still likes you, romantically. Remember that."

A: "Yes! Of course. I've already made that clear with her."

LF: "You need to be conscious of her reactions and stop when it does not feel right."

A: "Got it."

Andrea was nodding on all of his directives and towards the end, she could tell he was about to say more. Then she watched him quickly walk back to her luggage, looking for god knows what. 

When Lu Fang found what he wanted, he turned and threw a piece to cloth to her direction. Andrea caught it in a flash. Then she heard him say, "Where that."

Opening her palms and putting it up on her face, she gulped at the sight of the g-string underwear, one that she had worn when they had played with lubricants. She thought she could get away with it, but it would seem like her husband was serious in banging her on the plane. 

Andrea got what she wanted. She rode with Isabella on the seaplane as they head to the airport, but she knew she had to pay for it later when they fly back to China. 

They started to talk about her family and her hobbies. Andrea imagined that she was spoiled and mixed with the wrong crowd, just like most of the sole heiress she had met in the past, but to her surprise, she made good choices in life. 

"My dad was always checking on me and telling me who to make friends with. If there was anyone he did not like, he'd tell me about it. He always tells me that whatever he does, it was for my own good," Isabella said, turning to Andrea. They were both seated together in the seaplane. 

"I love my dad. So I never doubted his decisions for me. I'm sure that if he meets you, he will like you too."

"I'd like to meet your dad, Isabella. Maybe someday.  Lu Fang, Hanxi and I can visit you in Italy or if you go to China, why not bring your dad along and your mom too?" Andrea suggested. 

"Of course. Why not? Although mom is often busy taking care of…" Isabella paused and did not finish her answer. 

Andrea waited for seconds but Isabella continued to be silent. Thus she decided to talk about her brother. "Listen to me Isabella, I wish I could be that friend who will always be there for you, but I have kids and I have to help my husband run a company, aside from having one of my own. However, should you need a shoulder to cry on, know that Hanxi is a very good listener."

She studied her closely, making sure she is not reacting negatively to her suggestion before adding, " Hanxi, he will never judge you…He has a good heart. Just don't let him get drunk. It's something I haven't helped him with just yet."

Isabella finally smiled and turned to her saying, "Thank you, Ms. Andy. I really appreciate the concern you and Hanxi and shown me. I agree he is a good person. We actually exchanged numbers. I added him in WhatsApp… Can I have your number too?"

Andrea was happy to learn that her brother was not so slow after all. It surprised her that he had asked for her number. He had not done so with any of the women he met since they both had worked together. Still, there were matters that confused her about Isabella. She will have to dig deeper just in case she needed to know more about her. 

Now, all that was left on Andrea's mind was how she can make her husband forget about their bargain.
