Chapter 2.10
In a certain house, a man that was clad in a suit and a lady that was sitting with her hands tied on her back was both sitting across to each other on a leather sofa. The two were having a staring contest.
Mu Zi Lei gritted his teeth. His angel forced him to do this so...It was not his fault.
" Bai Xuan, I really need your cooperation. If you don't cooperate, I will turn that plan to a real one! "
Bai Xuan gave Mu Zi Lei an eyeroll. She ordered Sebastian to served both of them a cup of tea.
" As you said earlier, my brother didn't want to marry you. Your a commander, Mr. Mu. Where was your army intelligence wandered? You should stopped that kindnapping-me-to-threaten-him plan! You found out the truth behind our identities, why not find out the truth why he don't want to marry you? "
Mu Zi Lei massage his forehead. He know that Bai Xuan was right. He should dig deeper why his angel didn't want him.
Bai Xuan laugh heartily in her mind. She know why his brother didn't want this general. If she pointed out that to the commander, will he be angry?
He was a straight guy since we're kids, ah!!! I just forced him to came in my place and I didn't expect that you'll fall for him for real!!! Good luck on bending him!!!
"B ai Xuan, why do you heed to my invitation? What is your motive to be my fake wife? All of the candidates knew that once, I found my real wife, they'll divorce me. They can attain wealth and power with my permission while they're still my wife. Did you also want that? "
Bai Xuan's lips curled. " Yes, I want that... but there's one more thing that only you can do for me. Let me rephrase that...No, its not only for me but also for my brother. "
" What are you talking about? "
" I know you all have the data of each candidates. You also know mine...except that I have a twin until you discovered it recently. You know the problem we're facing. It includes the bancrupcy of our business, the loses of our lands and the important thing...My father is under crisis. He was hostage by a notorious kidnapping group. They wanted a huge sum of money but we can't give it because it was not enough. They'll kill him at the end of this month if we don't still paid the ransom. "
Mu Zi Lei was shocked. He didn't know that his father -in- law was in that predicament. He know that group. It was not under his scope of area but with his connections, he can save his father-in-law.
" I thought he was overseas? "
Mu Zi Lei know that it was a local group that specialize in kidnapping. Many old, young and rich people fall in their hands.
" Yes, my father was. He was kidnapped one month and two weeks ago. When I received your invitation, I thought that I should win the candidate selection. I was very estatic. I even searched the net about your info for more chances of winning but an incident happened so I had no choice but to send my brother to you as myself. "
Mu Zi Lei: ==+ "What if I... "
Bai Xuan: ^_^ /// " If you think what I am thinking...You'll have my blessings then. If you succeed, I can even accept your request, potential brother-in-law.~ "
Mu Zi Lei left the house. He now knew what he will do to show his sincerity to his angel. He now had the blessing of his sister-in-law. The blessing from his father-in-law will just take a matter of time.

[System, did that guy seek my sister's hand already? Is the wedding ceremony now insight?]
Li Yun excitedly asked the system, three days after he rejected the proposal. He was now being kept inside his room and not allowed to go out because of a certain person.
Mu Zi Lei. =.=+
---[Host, your under house arrest. I know you can complete your mission...have faith in yourself! I don't want to see your soul disappear in oblivion!!!~~ Because that was scary... but fun. The scattering effect is very cute especially the dazzling light when it disappears! Tee Hee~]
Li Yun: "....." System, are you lifting or dampening my spirits?!
-------
A week had passed, the Bai Estate was holding a grand celebration. The head of the house, Bai Feng has returned.
Bai Xuan together with the other servants welcomed his father. They were all happy because he returned unscathed.
Bai Xuan knew that with his father returning, she had to comply to the other person's request. She didn't care if his brother will be angry to him by teaming-up together with Mu Zi Lei. She rather offend his brother than this army commander. (She believed her brother will forgive him.) She can't reject the request of their benefactor.
She dragged her father at a private room and told all of his brother's special circumstances particularly her former servant's schemes who was Qing Yue.
Qing Yue, your mother and daughter pair were really alike. You dared to impersonate Bai Xiao Ning and harm Bai Xuan but one thing's for sure...Your mother being killed was what she deserved. She, a maid... dared to climb into my bed and steal my possesions. She even poisoned my wife twenty years ago.She was even brought up by her from an orphanage and look..She was a dog who bites the hand who feeds her... Killing her was the action that I will never regret in my life.
Bai Feng deeply sighed.Qing Yue being thrown out from the house years ago was a good choice.
He subside his killing intent and focus his mind toward his son's situation. He was suprised but he understand that as a parent, his children will someday part with him. He chuckled lightly and made a call to that person.
Bai Xuan smiled toward his father's actions then her gaze turn toward the location of a certain mansion.
--------
Next morning, the door of Li Yun's room opened with a creaking sound. A man wearing a black suit came out from the door. He searched for a certain person and found him sleeping soundly at his bed. He peeked at him for a bit and kissed his forehead before leaving.
'Angel, I save your father. It's now your turn to save my falling heart.'
--------
" Lady Bai, Master Mu returned from his errands. He said that you can come out now. "
Li Yun lazily yawned. He blinked his eyes to adjust the light of surroundings. He heard the voice from the other side of the door. He turned the doorknob and it was unlocked. He smiled because these days, he was forcefully ordered to stay inside his room while waiting for his meals like a prisoner. He noticed that a butler was waiting when he opened the door.
The butler was holding a white box while grinning happily. He also had a line of male servants at his side.
Li Yun find it unusual. He wondered why the servants serving him suddenly increased. He had no news of the outside world because all communication platforms were cut off from this mansion. He tried to pried some info from the system but it was futile.
Li Yun had no phone with him so he was very bored. The only thing he had was a pile of white papers with a pen and the reward bestowed by the system. The reward was the skill book that he only read once because of the system's crafty mind.
" This way, Lady Bai. "
The butler opened the door and a huge vanity cabinet came into display. The room had a line of dresses neatly placed in a rack and there was also a separate shower room inside.
----[Woah!!~~ We're in a lady's world,ah!!! This is definitely a mini parlor! I can smell the perfume and make-up scent in the air.~~]
Li Yun followed the lead of the butler. He was dragged in a mini parlor . He know that this was the place where the former ladies of the house glam themselves. This room was elaborately drawn in a certain part of the manhua. The place where Qing Yue was dolled up when she married Mu Zi Lei... But the thing was...why was he here?
" Lady Bai, do you need assistance for taking a bath? "
Li Yun shook his head. He just let a maid prepare the bath. After a few minutes, he went inside the shower room. What welcomed him was a bathtub filled with water. It also had roses floating on its surface. There's also a few scented candles being lit up.
Li Yun: OAO Fudge!!! This was the so called luxury of the rich!!! An aromatic bath! Maybe this was the rewards for the boredom that I suffered because of that obsessive guy!!! T.T
Li Yun can't help but think that something was amiss. He shrug the thought of it and submerged himself in the water.

A cheat... Did I heard it clearly? System said that there will be cheat!!!
Li Yun hurriedly rinsed himself with warm water. He dried his hair and reattached the wig to his head. He put a pink rose clip on his side swept bangs. He wore a peach pink off-shoulder dress that was prepared beforehand. This time, Li Yun didn't forget his "goods".
When he came out from the shower room. The servants pouted at him. The butler who was holding a rectangular box earlier came forward and said to him:
"Young Lady, you don't need to wear that because today is--"
The butler didn't have time to continue because a set of resounding footsteps echoed inside the room accompanied by a manly voice.
"He was right. You don't need that attire because today is a special day, my angel.~~ "
