Meanwhile, DX stopped by a florist and got a bouquet of Casa Blanca Lilies. Callum moved to the front when DX went down and when the latter returned with the flowers in hand, he asked curiously, "Who are you giving it to? Are you seriously meeting a woman?"

"En."

Callum gasped, "You are not really cheating on her...are you?"

DX stared at him and gave him the you-are-an-idiot look. Even though he did not say anything, Callum knew that DX was calling him names in his mind now.

"So who is that for?"

With a slight grin, DX answered him, "Grandmother-in-law."

.....

When they arrived outside the cafe where DX was supposed to meet with Grandma Zhen, he told Callum, "You can take the car home. Han Ye would be picking me up later."

"I thought I am coming with you?" asked Callum.

DX asked impatiently, "Why would I ask you to come with me to my date with my grandmother-in-law?"

Glaring at him, he asked, "Did you asked me to pick you up just for fun?"

As he adjusted his collar, DX nodded without any guilt.

Suspicious, Callum frowned, "Is it because of what Song Qiao said?"

"En."

Facepalming himself, he snapped at the man standing outside the car, "Damn it, Du XiAn! It's not like I can do anything about it."

Ignoring him, DX took the bouquet of flowers, placed his mask on and went into the cafe. When he saw the old woman sitting alone at the corner of the cafe with a book in her hands, he went forward to meet her.

Along the way, many eyes were locked on him. Even though they cannot see his face, by the manner he carried himself as he walked, they could tell that he was someone powerful. Hoping to get juicy gossip, some of them took out their phones to snap some photos.

"Nai Nai..."

Grandma Zhen glanced up and smiled when she saw her granddaughter's boyfriend. Her smile widened when he handed her the bouquet of lilies. It had been a while since she received flowers from someone and she thanked him for it.

"Nai Nai...Do you mind if we go to the restaurant next door?" asked DX.

She was about to ask why when she glanced behind him. For some reason, the people in the cafe had their phones out and was taking pictures of him. Thinking that he might be uncomfortable, she agreed to it.

Once they were inside a private room in the restaurant, Grandma Zhen asked worriedly, "Are you still sick? When I messaged you before, you said you are fine."

Ever since their first meeting, the two of them had been messaging behind Kai Xin's back. DX wanted to tell Kai Xin at first but Grandma Zhen told him to keep it a secret because it would be more interesting.

Since he saw no harm to it, he agreed and they had been messaging each other almost everyday.

"I'm sorry, Nai Nai. I'm not actually sick when we met," said DX.

"What do you mean?" asked Grandma Zhen curiously.

DX took off his mask and apologized, "I did not mean to lie to you, Nai Nai. My name is Du-"

"XiAn..." Grandma Zhen completed his sentence for him. It would be hard for her not to know who he was when his face was in every business magazines in the world.

Secretly, she cheered for her eldest granddaughter for getting such an outstanding boyfriend.

Noticing her reaction, DX smiled, "I guess you have heard of me."

"It's hard not to," laughed Grandma Zhen. She then asked curiously, "But Mr. Du, why did you lie to us? Are you ashamed of our Kai Xin?"

"Never!" answered DX quickly. He thought carefully before answering her, "Nai Nai, we are just trying to avoid trouble. If the press finds out that Kai Xin is my woman, she might be hound by the paparazzi or worse...My enemies...In addition..."

DX glanced at her wryly, "My mother and my twins still think that Kai Xin is a man..."

Grandma Zhen went wide-eyed when she heard that, "How is that possible! My Kai Xin is so beautiful! And she..."

She stopped for a second to think about something before gasping and pointing at him, "...The man rumored to be your gay partner was her?"

DX nodded as he patiently told her the story from the beginning to the end. During the entire time, Grandma Zhen could not stop laughing especially the part where her granddaughter dressed up as a man and kissed the almighty President Du in front of everyone.

"That's my granddaughter! She's nuts!" exclaimed Grandma Zhen proudly before bursting into another round of laughter.

As he poured her a drink, DX could not help but to smile either. Kai Xin had brought plenty of joy into their lives with her mischiefs.

Once she was done laughing, she looked at him. She had a good feeling about him but before that, she needed to test him out.

In a serious tone, she asked, "Mr. Du, how are you going to treat my Kai Xin?"
