After making sure that Anna had her seatbelt on Hou Yi, ensured that his belt was on. He reached into the pocket that he had placed the ring that Lu Jinhu had given Anna, and quietly said "I am guessing he will be waiting for you at the Key Plaza. I can come I with you if you want, but it might set him off to become more abusive towards you, because you have support that he was not expecting. Further I think he might demand this back, and rather than giving him the chance to come at you again an again with respect to the ring, I think the higher ground would simply be to give it back. He would not expect it I think he would believe in his own way that you will not give up anything given what he has taken from you. He would likely fight you to get it returned."

"Actually, I was thinking the same thing. Given how he has treated me, I do not want a single reminder of him that I cannot avoid. The ring is something that I can easily get rid of." Anna paused, and thought about what Hou Yi has said "Why do you think he would be more abusive if you accompanied me in?"

"He does not like me at all and given how you have been I think that Lu Jinhu and Yang Lin have been abusive towards you, adding me to the mix if they are there will only cause it to get even worse. Plus, if you want to get revenge, letting them know you have my protection will only hamper getting revenge on them."

"Ok".

With that they both sat back in the car, and Hou Yi reached over and grabbed Anna's hand in his. Anna looked at him and asked, "Why do you keep a hold of my hand?"

Hou Yi leaned over and quietly indicated "Remember one of the things I asked, that you be open to receiving attention from me and given the same to me? I thought that simply holding hands was something simple, and would not be confronting to anyone, whereas kissing and hugging would be something that you would find confronting at this time."

"Oh"

With that they sat quietly while the buildings sped by. Without realising how long they had been travelling, the car came to a stop, and a.s.sistant w.a.n.g, got out, and opened the door on Anna's side of the vehicle. "here you are Young Madam. When you are ready to leave, let the staff know, and they will call me to come back and collect you."

With that Anna walked inside the Key Plaza hotel, not paying attention to what was happening behind her. As soon as she was inside the hotel, Lu JInhu, came up to her and immediately started to invade her personal s.p.a.ce, yelling "Where have you been you "b**ch, I told you to get your stuff and get out of here. You are not wanted." He paused and then asked "Who was that you were with?"

Anna took a step backwards and put her hands up to keep Lu Jinhu away from her. "Stay away from me. You have no rights to ask what I have been doing. All I will say is that I have been trying to get the pieces of my life back together. As to who I was with, get stuffed I am not telling you." Anna paused and saw that Lu Jinhu appeared ready to strike her as he was so angry that she was not cooperating.

Anna then opened her palm, and threw at him his ring "There is your ring back. I do not want it. Take it." Anna felt so pleased with herself, she did not realise the danger that she was in.

Within a couple of seconds, Lu Jinhu, slapped her hard across the face, and screamed "B**ch. Wh**e. B**ch."

Then she was knocked off her feet, by someone else and heard Yang Lin's voice "You wh**e. You cannot do that. I am calling the police to arrest you."

Anna, emboldened by the fact that she knew she has Hou Yi's backup if things got too bad, picked herself up off the ground, and sneered at the couple before them. "Go ahead. I came here, and you Lu Jinhu, invaded my personal s.p.a.ce, not taking the hint, was abusive towards me, and refused to take my request. There was no way that I was getting close to you, and threw the ring at your feet. You then slapped me hard, which by the way will leave a bruise and then you Yang Lin knocked me off my feet. This is a quality hotel, and I know the CCTV footage will back me up. All I am here to do is to go up to the room that I paid for until tonight, pack my belongings and leave."

"Try it you b**ch. As you were told my parents know government officials. My version will win out." Yang Lin replied certain that she was the one who was in the powerful position.

Yang Lin raised her hand and before the manager could arrive slapped Anna on the face again. Before she could do this again, the manager stepped in, and gently grabbed Yang Lin's hand. "Madam Lu, please stop this. It will only end up reflecting on you badly. I have heard what you and your husband told me about this woman that we poorly let have a room. Please be a.s.sured that I am going to escort her to the room now, and she will have no more than 5 minutes to pack her belongings, and I will ensure that she is off the premises so not to bother you again. All I can do is apologise for allowing a person like her in this premises. You and your husband should not be expected to have to deal with a stalker. Be a.s.sured if she refuses to do what I request, I will detain her and hand her over to the police"
