It was Sunday afternoon and Dominic had arrived at his family home. On arrival he was greeted by their butler Jeffery, "Good afternoon Master Dominic" smiled Jeffery while taking Dominic's outter coat.
"Are they here?" Asked Dominic referring to his mother and father.
"Yes young master, Master is in his study and mistress is ready for you in the dinning area.... she's..... she's a little angry young master" Jeffery whispered warning Dominic.
"Awwww that old man.... I told him to calm her down....thanks Jeffery" with that he respectfully bowed and made his way towards his mother's direction.
"Good luck young Master" commented Jeffery to Dominic's now disappearing back.
Dominic walked undeterred into the dinning room ignoring his mother's icy demeanour. "Mother am here" he called out to make his presence known.
Mrs Lanxian ignored him as if he was air, Dominic signed inwardly how was this woman called his mother so attached to a person she's never even meet, Dominic's lips raised into a light smile he was proud his future wife sure was amazing, he's got the entire family wrapped around his little finger.
After sitting silently for what felt like a lifetime Mr Lanxian entered the room, he too received the cold shoulder from his wife. After trying to calm Mrs Lanxian down he was ultimately kicked out their marital bed and into a guess room, for apparently siding with Dominic, He could foresee is future daughter-in-law was going to cause him a great deal of trouble, "honey Michael and Andrew said they will be here shortly" Mr Lanxian said solemnly, shooting a dead glare at Dominic, he couldn't hide his current resentment towards his son, who's the criminal in all this and he a poor unfortunate victim who had to miss a whole night without his wife in his arms. He hadn't slept a wink and even so his wife seem fully rested, Mr Lanxian heartache didn't his dear wife not miss him a little.
A mixture of sadness and coldness radiated with the dinning room. However, the moment Michael and Andrew arrived Mrs Lanxian became a river of joy and smiled brightly "awww my two sons are here" she purposely stated with a big smile. "hello Mom, dad.... brother" greeted Andrew, he couldn't help but feel sympathetic towards his brother who he knew was victim in this whole thing.
"Son great your here, quickly sit down let's get this sorted now I can't do another night in that guess room" Mr Lanxian hurriedly spoke, one night was more than enough torture for him.
Dominic was getting impatient with all the formalities and wanted to discuss matters Imminently, as soon as lunch was served, he began the discussion of himself and MiMi WuXain.
"Ahem....I know we have all seen and the heard the News relating to myself and MiMi WuXain. Let me be frank nothing happened, so mother please stop scolding me I would never do something like that" stated Dominic
"Son that is not my concern, don't you like Kang Lei?" Ask Mrs Lanxian
"Yes mother, I plan and want to be with him there's no one else I would choose but him" answered Dominic.
"Son have you spoken to him since the incident?" Asked his father
"No father, I have tired several times to contact him, but I haven't able to reach him"
"If he's seen the news, which without a doubt am sure he has, There's no way he's going to answer your calls. Besides after you stuck your tongue down is throat you technically ignored him for a week. so am sure he's put you in his book of bastards" Michael callously spoke. Making Dominic really want to strangle him at this point.
"You did what? You ignore him after violating him...." gasped Mrs Lanxian, sheer devastation came over her, she looked at Dominic as if she was looking at ghost.
"Mom it's not like that please, right now...it's not the best time....am just protecting him" Dominic spoke hesitantly.
"Protecting in from what? The last time I checked you run a company not a mafia Gang. And besides you have Michael running the company so what are you hiding?"
Mrs Lanxian was now worried, since Dominic's returned a few weeks ago, his butler had updated Mrs Lanxian of Dominic's erratic behaviour.
"Dominic we know something been going on with you, myself and your father have been waiting for you come and tell us. So are you going to explain why Dr. Cheng has been visiting you so frequently" Mrs Lanxian who had calmed her temperament, was worried about Dominic look to him for an explanation.
There was a now tensed atmosphere at the table. Dominic didn't want his parents involved in such matters. The less they know the better.
"Aunty I can assure you that Dominic's fine, he's just been getting headaches lately so I had called Dr. Cheng as a precaution nothing more so please don't worry" Michael quickly answered, he himself knew that the less they knew the better.
Mr and Mrs Lanxian wasn't convinced but gave Dominic and Michael the benefit of the doubt. In reality if they needed to know Dominic will inform them so it was best not to push the topic. However, for Mrs Lanxian it breaks her heart to know Dominic is hiding something from her, she smiled lightly an in a low voice she turned to her son with caring eyes and said "Dominic no matter what your going through myself and your father will always love you....just....just please....plea..." she stopped feeling the words unable to come out.
"Mother It's fine Dominic and I know how much you love us, even when you become a demon and yell at us for hours on end" Andrew added he knew is mother only had their best interests at heart.
"Demon!.....Andrew Lanxian would you like me to make Dominic add a further year to that contract of yours" Mrs Lanxian shouted.
"Huh.. mother n...no" spoke Andrew
"Honey calm down he didn't mean it....ahem Dominic son what was you wanted to speak to us about anyway" Mr Lanxian asked holding onto his wife's hand, trying to stop her from throwing a bowl salad at Andrew's head, while Michael become his protective lover getting up to guard his beloved Andrew from his future mother-in-law.
Dominic looked at the scene and thought to himself "should he just elope and hide Kang Lei and BoJing from these mad people" he sighed heavily drawing back his mother attention before answering his fathers question.
Without any explanation he said "Kang Lei is Xi WuXain" without a hint of outward reaction.
Apart from Michael everyone turned to him with shock and disbelief on their faces. His mother struggled to get her words out "ho...how... how do know.... the WuXain's said he was dead... how could this be" She said still struggling to comprehend what she's hearing.
"MiMi WuXain noticed him, am not sure but the WuXain is most likely involved in his past disappearance. However, it's best we keep this matter to ourselves. In regards to MiMi WuXain I have a plan to deal with her. Next week I will be attending the meeting you've arranged with them" Dominic revealed, this matter needed to handled delicately, that MiMi WuXain was as he thought a wolf in sheep's clothing.
