Wednesday
Wednesday morning, they awoke to knock on the bedroom door, and found themselves wrapped in each other's arms.
It opened and in come Butler Ge, who called out "Apologies Young Master, Young Madam. Young Master, Assistant Wand has called ten times, because he could not reach you, so we reminded you that you have a 9am meeting. It presently is 8am. I will arrange for your normal breakfast to be delivered Young Master. As I was not sure what you wanted Young Madam, we will deliver toast, with jam, eggs and bacon with tea, coffee and orange juice as your choice of drink. These will arrive in a few minutes for you."
They unwrapped themselves and climbed out of bed and walked to the seating area. As they were sitting down, Butler Ge and one of the maids entered with their breakfast sitting it down on the coffee table in front of them.
When Hou Yi looked at Anna's nightdress he noticed it was more revealing than he had though last night when he put it on her. He therefore went into the bathroom and collected a robe for each of them, so she did not become conscious of what she was wearing. Before returning he put one on and handed Anna the other when he returned.
The staff promptly left them to have their breakfast, but Anna commented "That was embarrassing as we were deeply asleep when they walked in. The only thing I can say is that it was not as embarrassing as it could have been, if we had a sexual relationship. They could have seen us naked or walked in on us."
"Maybe, we need to arrange a door bell. I do not want you to feel embarrassed again," joked Hou Yi.
Anna, in a deadpan response which Hou Yi realised was a joke said, "Let me think about it." He then laughed at it.
Before both got carried away, they decided to eat their breakfast before it got cold. At the end of breakfast, Anna remarked "We will have to arrange for some Vegemite as I do not think I could only have jam with toast." Hou Yi made a mental note to have Butler Ge arrange this for Anna.
Hou Yi stood up, collected the package he was handed last night, opened it and walked to Ana handing her its contents. "Anna here is your key for the elevator lock, along with the other keys for the apartment, the Hou Ancestral House, and a Master Key for Hou Enterprises. Butler Ge when you ask will provide you with an apartment tour, so you know your way around. Secondly, when you go down stairs today, please go and see the security staff. They will encode your thumb print for the doors in the apartment which are secured with thumb prints."
"Thirdly here is your new, local mobile phone. It has unlimited calls to anywhere in the world and unlimited data. It will be paid with mine. All you simply have to do is transfer your contacts. There are charger cords in the study and on the desk in our suite. Already programmed in it are the numbers for my mobile and direct office line, Assistant Wang, your bodyguards, the apartment number and the numbers for the ancestral home, my parents, grandparents and aunt."
"Finally, here are your new cards. At present they are companion cards to my cards, but new ones will be issued for you in your name. The two black cards have a daily limit of 20 million, the platinum card has a daily limit of 10 million and the other two a daily limit of 8 million each. If you find you need more, let me know and I will arrange it with the bank."
"What! I do not need cards with that high of a limit," responded a shocked Anna.
"My mother and aunt are two highly experienced power shoppers and they are going with you today. They treat shopping as a sport. While we can afford an occasional spending spree the extent of their spending was such that they are limited to 3 million per month, simply to stop them spending without thinking. Not only will they try and talk you into spending millions upon millions today on yourself which I encourage you to do, they will want you to spend millions on them."
Hou Yi paused, and realised that he had to direct Anna, simple to limit his mother and Aunt's spending. He continued, "Buy what you want. Tell them if they pressure you too much that I have banned you from spending any money on them other than for food and drink without my permission. "
"Hopefully that will stop them, as I know they have already spent their monthly limit and we are only 10 days into the month. Despite this, I do trust them to guide you as to the clothes you will require as my wife for the functions you will be attend."
"You are kidding?" questioned Anna.
"Absolutely not. Their last unrestricted spending spree they had, they took both my grandmothers and they spent 80 million on the four of them in about 2 hours. Their purchases were all from top designers and I do not believe they have worn everything purchased. My father, grandfather and I had to put a stop to their unrestricted spending. Despite them being expensive power shoppers, if you want to go to a tourist market, the bodyguards who will accompany you have been told to take you there and will have cash to spend there. I believe you may feel more comfortable spending there than at M Mall."
Hou Yi paused and looked at the clock at the desk. He noticed that it was 8:20 am, and that if he did not hurry, he would run late for work. "Apologies I cannot stay, I need to be at work for this 9 am meeting otherwise I would remain until my mother and aunt arrive. Take your time and get ready. Relax as you will need it to go shopping with them."
With that Hou Yi, quickly went into the walk-in robe, and selected a suit for work, and then into the bathroom, and came out 10 minutes later ready for work.
As he was ready to leave, he heard the suite door start to open, so he walked over to Anna, briefly leaned over and gave her a brief kiss. He said quietly, but loud enough so whoever opened the door could here "Sorry I have to go into work. I would rather simply remain here with you, but this will let me get away next week with you."
Anna turned so his second brief kiss would be on her lips and as it ended, she gently pushed him and said "Go. Your mother and aunt will take good care of me, and I will simply wait for you tonight."
Hou Yi stood up, and walked towards the door, where a maid was standing "See what assistance my wife needs, the leave her in peace and clean up once she has left with my mother and aunt."
