Everyone was gathered in the living room, Dad, Mom, the maids, and my driver. "What are you doing here?" I asked him. I let him go home early so why was he here again? "Your dad called when no one could find you," He said. "I'm fine, you can go home now. I will handle this," I said to him. He looked at my dad, my dad nodded and he walked out. After my driver left, my mom dismissed the maid and I was stuck with my parents. "Where were you?" Dad asked me. "I was at the restaurant and now I am here," I said. "The driver got to the restaurant and you weren't there and we called your driver and you weren't with him. HE came here immediately and we all waited for our driver but he still couldn't find you. We were worried," Mom explained. "You left me at the restaurant so I found my way home," I said to them. "Can I at least come in?" I asked realizing I was still standing by the door. "Yes," Mom said, stared at me, and asked me why I wasn't wearing my shoes but was holding them. "The cab
"What is he doing here?" I asked shocked to see Min Jun and Lin Fen standing in the living room. "We thought we would invite all your suitors to breakfast," She said. "My suitors," I asked. "Yes your suitors, Min and Lin," Mom said and smiled at them. "Lin don't why are you here?" I asked Lin Fen. "I don't know why I am here, your mom invited me for an urgent meeting, I had no idea it involved you," he said. "You clearly shouldn't have come knowing it's my house and I will be home. You do know you aren't welcome here right?" I asked him. "You made that clear the first time, I am not here for you, I am here for your mom," he said. "My mom?" I asked. "My mom is married to my dad, she isn't interested in younger men," I added. Lin Fen sighed and face palmed himself. "Look I am not interested in talking to you today, I am trying to have a good day, don't spoil the week for me," He tried to bargain. "You think I would spoil your day? We both know I am the highlight of your day, ever had
"Can I get the money?" Lin FEi asked. His question left everyone shocked. "He doesn't want the money, so can I get it?" He asked again. "Aren't you rich?" Min Jun asked concerned. "Well it's easy money, I get a million that I didn't work for, a smart man wouldn't refuse such an offer," Lin Fei pointed out. "Who's the golddigger now?" I asked my parents, who were still too stunned to speak. "I am a smart businessman and I don't like to lose. If you don't want me then I might as well get compensation for the minutes I wasted here. Time is money and I lost a lot of it," Lin Fei added. "You would rather lose a lot of opportunities just for a million?" Dad asked finally snapping out of his shock. "Your daughter is right, she knows what is best for her and I know what is best for me, I will rather have the money as a smart man," Lin Fei said."Are you indirectly calling me stupid?" Min Jun asked. "If you think you are, who am I to tell you otherwise?" Lin Fei asked. Whatever Lin Fei was t
"Why are we meeting again?" Min Jun asked. "Aren't you going to sit first?" I asked him too. "That isn't an answer," He said. "Fine, stand," I said to him. "That is also not an answer to my question either. I could leave if you don't want me here," Min Jun said. "Are you really going to be that petty?" I asked him. "I have a lot of time to waste, do you want to find out how petty I can be," he asked me. "We are meeting because we have things to discuss," I answered. He nodded, pulled the chair opposite me, and sat down. "We already had the dates and I met your parents, why are we meeting," He asked me. "I already answered why we are meeting," I exhaled. "That wasn't very detailed," he pointed out. "We are meeting to make wedding plans," I said and rolled my eyes. "Wedding plans? Are you serious? You were cut off by your parents, I don't think you understand what that means. It means you have no money. You can't pay me the money you owe and you are already making wedding plans. with
"Just a suit?" He asked and I nodded. "Yes you just have to wear a suit," I said. "You're hurting my hand, stop holding on so tightly, I am not going anywhere," I informed him. "You shouldn't be threatening me," He said. "And you should come to terms with the fact that we have a contract and the wedding is very important, I need my parents to believe I am in love with you," I said to him. "Why? it's not like they care if we get married or not, they already made it clear that they do not want me as their son-in-law," He spilled. "I still need my parents to buy the story, they are very intrusive people, and if they don't believe there's a possibility that they might discover it's all a joke," I explained. "A joke? Marriage is not a joke," He said. "That is why we need to make it as real as possible and make them believe we are so in love with another," I told him. "Fine, I'll wear the suit, and take you on a honeymoon too if that makes them happy," He said and I blushed. We had not s
"We are not having sex, "I said clarifying myself. "So why the honeymoon?" he asked me. "It's part of the wedding plans and we need to have one for my parents to believe we got married. Remember every married couple has to go on the honeymoon thing," I replied. "Hmm, are you sure you can resist my sexiness?" he asked and winked at me. I rolled my eyes and looked away so he wouldn't catch me blushing."No replies?" he asked. "No replies," I said. "There has to be snarly come back somewhere," Min Jun said. "I think we are done here, it is past my curfew," I said and grabbed my bag ready to walk out again. "When did your curfew become 2 pm?" He asked me. "Since we wrapped up our discussion," I said. "Come on, no need to get angry, I was just joking, I will do whatever you want me to do," he assured me. "I wasn't giving you a choice," I murmured. "What did you say?" he asked. "Nothing you should know," I replied. "Are we through talking about our wedding plans?" He asked me. "Yeah, I a
"What?" I asked again but got no reply. I turned around to find what he was looking for but nothing was fascinating behind me. "Why are you staring at me?" I asked him. "I am mesmerized by your beauty. I told your parents, it was love at first sight so here we are, I forget I came to lend a book and stare at a complete stranger whose beauty captured my heart," he explained. I laughed and looked at his serious face. "What, are you really falling in love with me again?" I asked him and burst into laughter. "What is funny?" He asked me. "Do you know how cringe that sounds?" I asked him still trying not to laugh. "We are going to get kicked out of the library if you keep laughing so loudly," He said. "don't worry about that," I assured him. "I have to be, your laugh sounds so horrible they must think an animal is dying in here," He said and moved away from the shelf. I stopped laughing offended by his words. "My laugh is actually music to everyone's ear," I boasted. "You must think you
"Tulips and roses," I whispered and sniffed the flowers, they smell so nice. "Can you tell me your name?" He asked me. "You already know my name," I said laughing. HE face palmed himself and shook his head and I finally remembered he was here t make me think the story he told my parents wasn't cringe. "Mei," I said at the same time as another person. I turned to see a familiar face. What was he doing here? "We meet again," Lin Fei said holding out his hand to shake Min Jun. HE brought his hands towards me after shaking MIn Jun but I ignored his hands."Why are you out unsupervised?" Lin asked. "You ignored my question and you expect answers?" I asked him. "I came to buy flowers," he said. "Where is it?" I asked him. "I couldn't find what I wanted," he said and I hummed in disbelief. "I am starting to think you are stalking me and my fiance," I said. "The world doesn't revolve around you," HE said and walked away. I turned to look at Min Jun offended that he didn't say anything. "Re
