Chapter 64 - 64: Overwhelmed
Nathan and Kim Eunji arrived at the Platinum Residences and was stopped at the entrance gate of the subdivision.
The security on duty then knocked on the window. Nathan opened it and showed his identity card to him.
The security then gave them the clearance to get inside.
Kelly was already waiting at the entrance of their house when Nathan's car came into view.
"Seems like your best friend is really eager to see you." Nathan said in sarcastic tone.
"Hubby!"
"Alright Wifey. I'll behave. I promise. I just hope first brother was inside, too."
Nathan then stopped the car and unbuckled his seatbelt.
"Wait here."
Nathan then got out of the car and rushed towards Kim Eunji's side and opened the door for her.
Kim Eunji smiled as soon as she saw Nathan's beautiful face.
Nathan then stretched his hand for her to hold as she got out of the car.
'Seems like I have to get used to this kind of pampering sooner or later.' Kim Eunji helplessly thought.
"Thank you." She thanked him wholeheartedly.
"Anything for you, my love." Nathan then hooked his arm around her side as he guided her towards the main entrance of the house.
As soon as Kim Eunji got closer to Kelly, the latter immediately rushed over to give her a bone crashing hug while ignoring Nathan on the process.
"Careful sister-in-law! My wife's surgery wound has not completely healed yet." Nathan helplessly reminded her.
"Wife?!" Kelly's eyes widened as soon as she heard how Nathan addressed Kim Eunji.
'Why am I not informed about this?' She mentally asked Kim Eunji.
Kelly then threw a questioning look at Kim Eunji and then back to the man whom she could not recognize at first but when she carefully looked at him, her eyes widened in shock.
"Master Bai, is that you?!" Kelly asked him to make sure she didn't name the wrong person.
"Hello my wife's best friend, Sister-in-law." Kim Eunji rolled her eyes when she heard her husband addressing Kelly that way.
"Oh my God! I could barely recognize you with that look!" Kelly said as she was both surprised and amazed at the same time.
"Good." Nathan dryly answered that earned a squeeze on his side from his wife.
All Kim Eunji could do was to sigh deeply as she could feel an upcoming headache on the way.
"I'll explain later. But for now, let's get inside, shall we?" Kim Eunji said as she tried to make everything not awkward.
"Okay." Kelly complied as she walked towards the living room whole snatching Kim Eunji away from Nathan.
Kim Eunji helplessly looked at Nathan who was now having a sullen look and then she turned her attention towards Kelly who was smiling from ear to ear.
"Aunt Xi, please bring our guests something to drink."
"Okay Young Madame." Aunt Xi politely replied.
"What's with this look. Care to explain?" Kelly interrogated them. She was curious of Nathan's sudden transformation.
"Well, we both agreed to shop normally like ordinary couples do. And we could never do so since Nathan was a famous public figure now. So, he came up with this look." Kim Eunji explained in Nathan's behalf. She knew that Nathan's childish side was taking over him and she's sure that he's not on the mood to answer.
Kelly looked at Nathan and then to Eunji and she felt proud of herself. She made a mental note to share the news to Madame Mo.
He was sure that Madame Mo would surely be delighted with the news.
"Is first brother home sister-in-law?" Nathan asked Kelly after he saw the two women comfortably sitting on the couch.
"Yes, he is. He's at his study." Kelly replied.
Ever since the couple found out of Kelly's sensitive pregnancy, Mo Jing-sheng decided to work from home temporarily. He would only go to his company if there were important meetings. Other than that, he's in his study room in a nine to five schedule.
Mo Jing-sheng wanted to show moral support to his wife. He wanted her to feel that she's not alone in their journey towards parenthood.
"Okay. I'll go look for him." Nathan said and walked towards Kim Eunji and kissed her lips. It was more of a peck rather than their usual kiss.
"Be good. I'll be with first brother. Okay wifey?" Nathan said as he caressed her cute cheeks.
"Alright hubby. I understand." Kim Eunji sweetly smiled as she looked at him.
With that being said, Nathan left towards the direction of Mo Jing-sheng's study upstairs.
"What is that?" Kelly asked with both of her eyebrows quirking.
"Isn't it normal for a husband and wife to do that?" Kim Eunji casually reasoned.
"So it's true?"
"What?"
"You two got married just like how Mo Jing-sheng and I did?"
"Mm." Kim Eunji hummed in response.
"Oh my gosh!"
"Careful, control your emotions. Geez!" Kim Eunji could only helplessly remind her best friend.
"When? How come we're not invited?"
"We didn't hold a wedding ceremony or whatsoever. We just got our marriage certificates today." Kim Eunji explained.
"Hahahaha! I never thought my best friend would follow my footsteps so soon." Kelly playfully remarked.
"I can't help it. I found a very persistent man who never gives up and hard to resist." Kim Eunji casually reasoned.
"So are you Ice Goddess no more?"
"Ice Goddess?" Kim Eunji asked Kelly in puzzlement.
"Ice Goddess or Ice Queen, whichever you like."
"Well, I am... but obviously not with him." Kim Eunji simply replied.
Now that she's already married to him, there's no way she would allow herself to be the reason of him being upset or disappointed in their marriage.
"I never thought in such a blink of an eye, we'll meet our destined partners and married them without any reservations." Kelly said as she felt emotional all of a sudden.
"Hey! Why are you crying? Your husband may beat me to death as he might think I made you cry." Kim Eunji helplessly said as she wiped Kelly's tears with her handkerchief.
Kelly chuckled as she let Kim Eunji to do the task for her.
"I'm sorry. Damn hormones!"
"Geez! You've been a cry baby ever since before." Kim Eunji commented. Kelly pouted upon hearing that.
"No, I'm not!" Kelly refuted.
"Yes, you are!"
"I hate you!"
"I hate you, too!"
People listening to them may thought that the two were about to be physical but all of a sudden, the two burst out laughing.
While the two women downstairs were having the time of their life, the two men upstairs were looking down at their wives with a helpless expression on their faces.
The two then turn around and went back to the study silently.
Mo Jing-sheng was checking on Kelly from time to time. He also made sure to install CCTV cameras all over the house to monitor every body. He wanted his wife to be safe.
"It's good that you visited today." Mo Jing-sheng said on relief.
"Why? What's wrong first brother?" Nathan frowned and asked him.
"I have been receiving death threats recently." Mo Jing-sheng suddenly dropped the bomb.
"Death threats? Since when?! Do you know who was the person behind it? Who's their target?"
"No, I don't know the person behind it and it's my wife who's their target." Mo Jing-sheng answered in frustration.
"To whom did you make an enemy with recently?" Nathan suddenly asked.
"No one. I've had good relationship with the investors and even with our competitors. I'm not s tyrant CEO, unlike you." Mo Jing-sheng helplessly said.
"What about our enemies in the underworld?" Nathan asked him.
"That's impossible. No one knew that I'm connected with it through you and if they do, I don't hold as much threat as you do to them." Mo Jing-sheng had already thought of that possibility but decided to rules it out as she felt it's unlikely to happen.
Nathan believed him too. Nathan himself was careful with his every movement in the underworld. But he dared to not be complacent about it.
"I'll look into it deeply. What about internal affairs. Have you checked within your clan?" Nathan suddenly brought up the possibility that it was one of the branch heads who was behind this.
"That would be impossible!" Mo Jing-sheng immediately dismissed that thought as a possibility.
Over the years, there were no family feud within their family. It could be said that the Mo Family was one of the most harmonious family of the country.
However, Nathan only chuckled as his response.
"First brother, nothing is impossible if money and position is on the line and the person is taken over by greed." Nathan pointed out.
Mo Jing-sheng was silent for a while.
"Since when did you start receiving those threats?" Nathan asked him.
"After we came back from the wedding."
"I see. Does sister-in-law knew about it?"
"No. I don't want her to get stress with this matter." Mo Jing-sheng shook his head.
"Did you inform Jeong Ho and Zhang Wei about this?"
"No I didn't. It's not because I don't trust them enough but they're facing their own problems as well." Mo Jing-sheng replied.
He didn't want to bother the two younger members of their brotherhood with this.
"Good. I'll help you come to the bottom of this."
"Thank you."
"No problem, we're brothers remember?" Nathan said as he drank a can of beer.
"So how are you both? You seemed in trouble." He meaningfully asked him.
"Well, we're doing just fine. It's just that everything was a bit overwhelming for the both of us." Mo Jing-sheng honestly answered.
Kelly's pregnancy was unplanned and he was not mentally prepared for it.
"First brother, I think between you two, you should come into terms with your current situation fast or else sister-in-law would feel that you're regretting this pregnancy. You already found it hard to handle when you're not the one carrying the baby inside you, what more in her situation?" Nathan pointed out the obvious.
Mo Jing-sheng was silent.

While the two upstairs were having a serious discussion, the two women downstairs were happily giggling over silly things.
With Kim Eunji around, Kelly suddenly became energetic.
The two had already moved on the patio to continue talking.
It was now three in the afternoon and it's usually Kelly's nap time.
Kelly's eyes was already sleepy but she didn't want to because she wanted to talk more with Kim Eunji.
"So, did you both already do it?" Kelly calmly asked.
"What?" Kim Eunji casually replied as she sipped her took a bite of the cookies and got her glass of fresh orange juice to drink.
"S*x."
Kelly casually said that made Kim Eunji to spurt her drink and dirtied her pants.
"What the hell?!" Kim Eunji's eyes widened in shock.
"I'm sorry." Kelly apologized and called Aunt Xi for a towel and a clean track pants for Kim Eunji to change.
However, Kelly was enjoying Kim Eunji's reaction.
"Judging your reaction, it seems like you haven't reached that base yet."
Kelly chuckled when Kim Eunji remained silent as she was blushing.
"Seems like brother-in-law have so much control in him."
"Kels please, can we not talk about it. That's embarrassing you know." Kim Eunji pleaded.
"Aigoo. Seems like our Missus Bai's still shy about it."
"Cui Mei Lien!" Kim Eunji said in a deep tone which made her to be taken aback.
Kim Eunji soon regretted what she had done when she saw Kelly who was in tears again.
"Shh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to speak to you like that."
"Stay away!" Kelly waved her hand as she tried to push her away.
Kim Eunji face palmed herself. How could she forgot that Kelly should control her emotions.
And now she felt guilty and at the same time stupid for making her cry.
"I hate you!"
"I know." Kim Eunji hugged her as she tried to comfort her.
Kelly sobbed in her embrace but then calmed down afterwards.
Kim Eunji smiled when she saw Kelly peacefully sleeping in her embrace.
"You never change really."
Kim Eunji then carefully held Kelly's head as she tried to stand up. She then gently adjusted Kelly's body so that she'll be lying down on the sofa.
As soon as she finished, Kim Eunji then looked at Aunt Xi who was still holding the towel and the track pants that Kelly had asked for her to bring.
"Seems like the Young Madame is very fond of you Miss Kim." Aunt Xi commented.
"Well we're like instant sisters to each other." Kim Eunji briefly explained.
"And if someone had the intention of making things difficult for her, I'll make that person pay a thousand fold." Kim Eunji added which made Aunt Xu to subconsciously gulp.
Anyone would feel Kim Eunji's intimidating aura leaking from her body.
Aunt Xi thought that Kim Eunji would beat her.
But Kim Eunji suddenly smiled as she took the things in Aunt Xi's hand.
Kim Eunji found Aunt Xi's action to be quite suspicious.
She then asked of where the toilet was so that she could change her pants.
When she returned, she saw Kelly still peacefully sleeping but she could still not shrug off the uneasiness in her heart. It was like something would happen.
She decided to sit on the opposite couch to look at Kelly.
Kim Eunji took her phone and decided to play with it for awhile to pass some time.
She had also decided to download some applications on her phone which she needed for her studies.
***
A message notification then popped up on her phone. It was from Nathan asking if she was okay downstairs.
[I'm okay. I'm watching Kelly sleeping.] She replied.
But her phone suddenly rang. She did not hesitate and pick up the call immediately.
"Wifey?" Nathan said from the other line.
"Hubby?" Kim Eunji responded.
"I miss you." Nathan sweetly said which earned a soft laugh from Kim Eunji.
"I miss you, too." Kim Eunji softly replied.
"You do?"
"Yeah."
"Where are you?" Nathan asked her from the other line.
"Downstairs. At the patio. I'm with Kelly. She's sleeping."
Minutes later, Kim Eunji heard a series of footsteps coming towards their direction.
Before she could turn around, two long hands snaked towards her upper body and hugged her from behind.
"Let's go." Nathan whispered in her ears.
"Eh?" Kim Eunji said and curiously looked at Nathan.
"It's okay. Kelly would usually wakes up late after her nap. So you may take your leave." Mo Jing-sheng said.
"Is it normal?"
"Her doctor said that it's pretty normal for a woman on her first trimester to be sleepy all the time." Mo Jing-sheng answered Kim Eunji.
"I see." Kim Eunji then stood up from her seat and walked towards Kelly. She then checked her pulse and heaved a sigh of relief when she found no abnormalities in Kelly's pulse.
Kim Eunji then turned her attention towards the house.
"Okay. Please tell Kelly to call me when she wakes up." Kim Eunji said to Mo Jing-sheng.
"I will. Don't worry sister-in-law." Mo Jing-sheng said though he felt awkward to call Kim Eunji with that.
