His Contractual Mistress Chapter 362 – Less Romantic

Later in the evening, Vincent and Hailee were at the airport, waiting for their very important guests’ plane that are about to land. 

“Wifey, don’t you feel cold?” Vincent asked Hailee when she got out of the SUV. 

When he heard the car door open, he immediately left his cousins from discussing a few things regarding his work here in Dream City. He quickly approached Hailed and wrapped her body with his arms to keep her warm. 

“It’s too cold out here. You should have just waited at the hotel.” 

Hailee shook her head, even though she buried her face to breathe Vince’s scent. It is just what she does every opportunity she has, and became her habit, which Vincent knew about it he actually enjoyed. 

“Hubby, the sky is too beautiful tonight!” Hailee gazed out at the beautiful Southern Hemisphere. 

Vincent looked up, and Hailee was right. The night sky is full of stars which he could recognize all of these constellations appeared above their heads. 

“They are all truly beautiful. But they cannot compare to the one inside my arms.” 

Hailee giggled at Vince’s quote. But it warm her heart she knew she is falling over again with his corniness. 

“Mr. Shen, you are becoming corny and sweet .” 

Vincent chuckled. “Which one I am?” 

“Both!” Hailee answered with glee, she didn’t think about it anymore. 

Vincent tightens his embrace, lowering his head and warming Hailee’s mouth. 

But the affection they displayed made every single man present curses.

‘Show off!’ 

It was a relief when a plane passes above their heads as they don’t want to watch any more romantic scenes in this cold weather. 

“Finally they are here!” Carl is deliberately shouted to inform the couple of enjoying their lovey-dovey moments under the beautiful night sky. 

Not long, the giant Crow Corporation private jet has safely landed on the runway. After a few minutes, the plane stopped not too far from where the car was waiting for them. 

All of Hailee’s knights, including Prince Alex and Prince George, are waiting for the Emperor as well. 

“Hey, princess!” 

After the door of the plane opens, Daichi Isagawa’s face appears before them. 

“Get down here, old man!” James shouted. But then, he receives scolding from everyone. 

“Damn. Dare you to speak rudely to that emperor’s right hand?” Rodney grinned. ‘Hailee’s knights truly love to dare anyone at the association.’ 

“What? Have you forgotten? He is my uncle?” James replied. 

“Wait, a minute! Daichi Isagawa is your uncle?” Rodney tried to recall the days of his youth when he and James met at the camp. 

“You don’t pay attention, actually.” Carl chimed in. He is one of the seniors during James and Rodney’s first years in the camp. 

“Is this true!” Rodney still can’t believe it. 

“Yeah!” Daichi is now standing in front of James and Rodney. He smirks at them and says, “Now, get down to the ground and give me one hundred push-ups!” 

Both James and Rodney dropped their jaws to the ground, where the rest cheered at them. 

“That’s right! Punish them, brother Daichi!” 

“Why am I also punished?” Rodney complains, but he is doing it, anyway. Of course, he could not dare to protest when the emperor was here. 

Daichi sat down on James and then started counting. “Five… Ten… Fifteen… Twenty…” 

Everyone laughs at the way of his counting. Even so, there is a long gap when he counts and so, James and Rodney must wait. 

James wanted to complain, but he knew he would receive more punishment if he voiced his thoughts, which his uncle would love to make fun of him when he had the opportunity to do so—like what he was doing now. He is enjoying sitting on his back and his weight is killing him! 

Indeed, Daichi is enjoying every moment to punish these two mischievous young lords. 

“Don’t you think you are both lords and I am going to let you off?” 

“Ugh. Just continue counting! I promised I won’t call you old man anymore!” James begged. 

Alfie and Chester snickering in silence. The conversation they had over the text the other day flash their heads. James didn’t learn how Alfie is actually calling him an old man for dating a teenager. 

James sighed with relief when his uncle got off from him. On the other hand, Rodney was thankful when Daichi only sat on James’s back, but he was wrong. Daichi moves to sit on his back! 

“What are you guys doing?” asked Shun. 

Hailee’s knights stood straight and bowed at Shun. He gestured his hand and said, “Come on. I don’t need these formalities. So, what happened?” 

“We’re just having fun, Master Shun!” Rodney made the lame excuse, laughing nervously. It was rare for him to see this man and, of course, he gave his respect to him even if rarely he could mingle with the emperor. 

Shun smiled, his gaze then shifted to Vincent, who made a joke on him. 

“Hello, grandson…” 

“Hello, great-grandpa,” Shun returned, grinning at Vincent while they shook hands. 

The surrounding people dropped their jaws to the center of the earth upon watching the two men. It shocked them that Vincent was actually bantering jokes causally at the mafia emperor. 

‘Is Vincent serious?’ They were dizzy, asking this question to themselves. It was Daichi who only understood Shun and Vincent’s meaningful dialogues. 

On the other hand, Hailee is perplexed that what she heard and witnessed is real. The two men gave each other a unique endearment. ‘Does their good relationship develop this good during the Budapest trip?’ 

Hailee’s face displays a confused look. Then a beautiful young woman giggled and whispered to them. 

“I will explain it to you later.”

(A few minutes ago while Shun interrogated James and Rodney.)

“Cassie!” Hailee rushed toward the girl, then hugged each other. “Thank you so much for coming!” 

Cassie whispered to Hailee. “There’s no way I would not come! I haven’t traveled often since I got pregnant, so this is my chance when Quinn has no way to say no.” 

Hailee giggled. She could relate to Cassandra’s frustration as she also wanted to travel around the world with Vince, but she must get all the rest she could have to take care of her pregnancy. 

“Alright. It’s cold out here. Vincent keeps reminding me throughout the time we are waiting for your arrival. But I am actually enjoying the moment we are here gazing at the night sky.” 

“Well, you know, men? They are less romantic than girls.” Cassandra commented kiddingly—he and Hailee giggled. 

Meanwhile, an arrow hits both Shun and Vincent’s hearts. They could not believe their wives would gossip about them being less romantic! 

‘That’s not true!’ Both Vincent and Shun made a protest inside their hearts. 

Of course, they could never dare to voice out the piece of their mind against regarding of their wives.
