"President, Young Master Lim's assistant called me awhile ago while you were in the middle of a meeting and he's telling me to clear your Friday schedule for your marriage registration and moving in your new house."

"Uhm." Xi Ana answered while still busy looking through the financial report she asked. Suddenly, she looked at her assistant as if she'd realize something.

"Did you say Friday schedule?" the assistant was a bit confused by the sudden reaction.

"Yes, President."

"Don't cancel all my schedule on Friday, just the afternoon and evening. You don't have to inform him, I already talked to him when he called this morning." the assistant was surprised because she knows that there are only few people who can contact the president without going through her. 

Well, he will soon be her husband so that might be the case.

"Yes, president." just as she was about to leave the room Xi Ana called out to her again.

"Hannah, please cancel all my remaining schedules for today. I need to do something. Also, do not call me unless its urgent." Hannah wasn't all that surprised with this because the president tend to do this once in a while.

Hannah has been working for the president ever since she started working in the company and she knows that when Xi Ana tries to finish everything ahead of schedule she will then ask for a time like this, though she doesn't have any idea about what she's actually doing.

"Understood, president." with that, she already left the room.

Xi Ana picked up her phone and dialed, after a few seconds somebody answered the phone.

"Let's meet later. Same time, same location."

"I understand." he already expected that Xi Ana will call that's why he knows what to do. It's not a matter of guessing, it's a matter of knowing.

Even though there are some instances that he also doesn't know what is running through her head but for situations like this, he can easily understand it like the back of his hand. 

"Also, be prepared. It's almost time." Xi Ana said in a cold and serious tone. It is indeed almost time, he thought.

"I know." the man on the other line doesn't need any more words of explanation to understand what the woman is trying to say.

Few seconds after hanging up the phone and clearing her call log, a certain young man barged in her office.

"Ana Jie! You're getting married to Lim Yi Sheng? What the hell? I've been away for only a month and this is what surprises me?!" as soon as he received a call from his grandfather regarding his sister's marriage he immediately booked a flight back home.

"Uhm." she didn't even spare her brother a glance because she's busy analyzing the report in front of her.

Xi Chen, her brother has a sister complex though he doesn't admit it, all the people who knew them know. They grew up without a mother figure beside them so Xi Chen became too attached to his sister, and Xi Ana pampered him just how normally mothers do. 

"I can't accept it! I don't want my sister to be married with him!" with this remark, his sister turned her gaze to meet his eyes.

"Then, are you willing to marry and bear a child for grandfather to spare your sister from this business marriage?"

"ANA JIE!" his sister chuckled as a response and continued typing in her computer. it's not like she will really marry him off just like that, if she wants she actually don't need to marry at all.

"Didn't I gave you two days off so that you can enjoy your stay there before going back here, why'd you have to go back so early?" her brother slumped his back on the couch after removing his coat and loosening his tie.

"How can I stay there knowing that my sister is about to be married to someone I don't know." he said while pouting. Giving his sister to someone else has never been an option for Xi Chen. He always thought that is sister would forever be with him. 

"Chen, how's your training going on?" she stood up and went to made tea for the two of them. Upon hearing her sister's tone he immediately sat down.

"What's that question for? Are you planning to retire early now that you're getting married?" he asked seriously. That might be an option, Lim Yi Sheng is a capable man and even if Xi Ana won't work for her entire life she will still be able to live a wealthy life.

"I'm just asking Chen and I'm not planning to retire yet, okay? I just want you to be prepared you know that I took over the company at age of 24. Believe it or not, I was not yet ready at that time but because of what happened to grandfather even though I'm not yet prepared I have no choice. I don't want the same thing happen to you, that's why I'm preparing you as early as now." Xi Chen is only 22 years old but Xi Ana is already preparing him to take over a whole empire.

"Don't speak like you're about to die tomorrow. I can't even imagine it. About my training, it's fine you don't have anything to worry about. I was able to alleviate the situation and also provide long-term solution so that they won't go back to how they used to be." his sister sent him to their Europe main branch in Italy due to a crisis.

Xi Empire is known all over the world as one of the best hotel empire there is.

This is her way of training him, sending him to different branches either branches with problem or has a poor performance over the past years. Making him solve the matters at hand will make him gain more knowledge and experience of the problems that he might encounter when he takes over the company.

If anything were to happen to her and Xi Chen is not yet ready, their company and all that belongs to the empire will be easily taken over by their greedy relatives. 

"By eliminating the cause of the problem and providing a new way to enhance their performance is already a context used by people all over the world. Yes, there is no problem with this method because it is indeed an effective plan but I don't think this is how I taught you."

"Being efficient is better than being effective. That is what you taught me. Just like what you've said, I also don't think that providing them a long-term solution in the form of a mere plan is enough so what I did is give them the foundation. I gave them manpower which will also serve as an overseer of their daily performance, I also laid out a project which will enhance their capabilities to maintain their performance even though I'm not there anymore to support them." hearing her brother's explanation, she can't help but smile and be proud. This is the best form of training for him, it's like throwing a kid in the forest alone to survive.

"Why are we even talking about this anyway? I came here to talk to you about your marriage. This matter is not as important as the fact that you're about to get married."

"It is important Xi Chen, you'll never know. I might end up being dead tomorrow."

- - -

I never thought I'd be attached to a person like this, so much that it hurts.

We started our relationship as if we're on a business meeting, we got married for the sake of marrying.

Until I've grown to like you, only when I finally realized how much I love you, you disappeared.

I don't know if your disappearance has something to do with your secret, I know you had a secret, I've always known. 

I love you, Ana and I will do whatever it takes just to have you back in my life again.

"You haven't been here for so long... I almost thought that you forgot about me." Jasmin said as she hugs the man beside her tighter, She then buries her face on his chest, inhaling his scent that she misses so much.

Her actions made Jonathan more guilty for not being able to fight for their relationship, he feels incompetent for not being able to protect her against Samantha and his mom. Their intentions have hurt Jasmin, yet, she has never ranted against them in front of him. Especially, about his mom's actions. She knows that his mother is important to him, so she would always just silently endure their mistreatment.

Seeing Jasmin still smiling and loving him as if nothing happened at all, makes him want to just run away with her and forget about everything. However, he knows that he can't do that either. No matter how messed up his family is, he still loves them so much.

"I'm sorry..." that is the only thing that he could say. He feels like, he could never atone for the pain that he's giving to his beloved right now but if what Samantha is saying really true, after a year of staying married to her, he would finally be able to spend the rest of his life with Jasmin. They just have to endure for one more year.

"Don't say that... I hate it when you say you're sorry because it feels like what we have is wrong. Just say you love me and I'll be alright." Jasmin corrected him. Her eyes look like she's about to cry. His heart being weight down by more guilt.

'Just what did he do in his past life, for him to be blessed by such a loving woman?' He thought.

They were cuddling on the sofa of Jasmin's apartment, totally at peace in each other's arms. They talked about their future and how Jonathan wants to have three kids with her. They even planned to have a vacation in a few months. Just them living their life, forgetting all the problems that they currently have. As if he wasn't married and was just hers. Like, how they were before Samantha came in the picture to ruin their happy life.  Soon, after talking and hugging for a few more hours. The two decided to get food delivered for their dinner. They haven't had a meal together since his marriage so they both got excited and ordered too many foods.

However, before the food even came, Jonathan phone's rang. Seeing that it was his mother, he immediately stood up and secretly answered the phone in Jasmin's balcony. Away from the girl so she wouldn't hear their conversation that might be unpleasant since his mom has always been against her.

"Where are you?" His mom asked.

"Why?" he answered, trying to avoid the question.

"Were having dinner at our house tonight with the Zhou's. Have you forgotten that today is the day where they would visit us to talk about you and Samantha's future? Come home immediately." his mom said. Hearing this ruined his mood completely.

"Mom, I can't. It's probably nothing important anyway and my presence won't be needed. I won't go." he plainly stated, however, when his mom heard his refusal, she immediately realized where his son is.

"Are you with that slut again?" she said with malice. His silence answered his mom's question.

"Jonathan, you're a married man. How dare you blatantly cheat like this? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" His mom said with disgust, this made him feel as if he was doing something wrong and he hated it.

"Mom, you know very well that I did not have a say in that marriage. I don't love Samantha and I won't act like I do even if I'm married to her. You can't make me."

His mom got speechless with what he said.  The other line was silent for a while when he heard a little movement, like the phone getting snatched from his mother's hands.

"We have to talk Jonathan. Go home" His father's authoritative voice greets him, no longer a plea but a direct order. He didn't wait for his response and just ended the call. Meaning, if he didn't go, something bad would happen.

"Damn it!" he cursed, smashing his phone in anger. The loud noise alerted Jasmin who just received the food they ordered and was currently preparing it for them to eat.

"What's wrong?" she asked, confused about the sudden shift of Jonathan's mood.

Jonathan bit his lips.

"I'm sorry..." he said. Just one sentence that Jasmin knew too well.

'Ahhh... he can't stay... again' she thought.

Samantha woke up in the body of the cruel antagonist from the famous novel she was reading, 'Call My Name and I Won't Let Go'.

Samantha Zhou, who happens to have the same name as hers is a spoiled and rotten brat who was engaged to the main lead, Jonathan, but selfishly left to pursue her dreams in New York. When Samantha returned to China and found out that Jonathan has a new beau, she did everything in her power to force the man to marry her. This made everyone who reads the novel despise her and call her names, but this Samantha had a cruel ending and now is the current Samantha's future. 

At first, she wasn't so scared of the ending of the original Samantha. In her defense, she can always just change into a good person and everything would be settled.

Let the main lead and female lead have their happy ending, go back to New York and then live the life of luxuries and fame that the original Samantha had. 

She thought her worry-free life can be fixed and lived that easily, but oh boy was she so wrong. 

Everything went downhill when Samantha realized that she can control all of the original Samantha's everything, except for her... emotions.

Let's begin the journey of love.... ❤❤

Malina Rose Smith is the adopted daughter of Marshall and Vivienne Smith. Since she was adopted when she was young and raised together with the couple's biological daughter, 5 years older than her, she always thought that they were her real family.

When the Smith family moved to K Island and Malina entered kindergarten school, only then did she noticed that she was different.

All of the kids around her kept pinpointing how much different her appearance was as compared to her other family members. Her parents and elder sister had a western look, while she looked like an Asian.

But it didn't matter to her what the truth was because she was raised with an abundance of love. Even her elder sister spoiled her too much.

At age 9, her happy life crumbled when she was involved in a major kidnapping of all the rich heirs across the globe that the authorities refer to as The Heir Blackdays Case'

Blood doesn't matter when it comes to inheritance. And that is when she discovered the truth of her origin and the ugly face of human nature at the price of Viviene's life. Watching the horrifying death of Vivienne with her own eyes was a traumatic experience for Malina. 

To ensuring her sanity, Malina's child mind tried to protect itself by blocking all memories of those dark days. She even blocked some crucial memories regarding the fact that her life would be endangered after she comes of age at 18.

[Malina Rose Smith]
I have only two goals in my life. First is to get married to a widower and raising a bunch of kids of my husband. Because of my injury, I don't think I can get pregnant. So to compensate it, I must save my virginity for my future husband. But on my birthday, my plan comes to a halt.

Because of my big sister's disappearance on her wedding day, I have to become her replacement to save my father and my family's dignity. Too bad my husband-to-be was too handsome for his own good. I don't like it because, in my dictionary of life, handsome face and loyalty are never can be put together in the same sentence.

At least this marriage is just a temporary solution. If it wasn't because of the need to save my father's face, I will never follow suit with this crazy plan.

After all, my other goal in life is to make sure my father is always happy. I have already robbed him of life partner, so I vowed to do anything humanly possible to fulfill his requests.

But he rarely requests anything from me except normal things that parents ask like taking care when going to school, etc. So once he pops out an abnormal request, never in my wild imagination could I have thought that it would be this. Switching place with my big sister as the bride!

[Gieanne Violet Smith]
All the leads that I have at this moment don't make any sense, but my guts knew that my mother's death, Malina disappearance 9 years ago, and The Heir Blackdays Case are closely related.

From what I've observed, Malina genuinely can't remember what actually happened when she was missing. There are a few survivors though, but somebody tampered with the information. No one can identify which family those kids belong to. All information about the kids has disappeared without a trace.

Did any of those children contact Malina without my knowledge? And my fiancé, I can sense, he has his own dark secret. Is it safe to bring him into our family?
 
[Alexander Graham Wentworth]
I need to reward my assistant. His insight, in preparing in advance, the prenuptial agreement bearing Malina's name, makes my life goal easier.
It is truly killing two bird with one stone. Master Ji can't find fault with this plan.  

After all, his orders are for me to get married by the end this month to secure an heir and find a way for him to meet Malina as frequently as possible. her being the granddaughter-in-law makes it possible for Master Ji to meet her without any need to create a lame excuse.

Too bad, she doesn't know yet that this is not a "temporary solution" as she thought. After all, I don't divorce.

[Marshall Smith]
I'm sorry, daughter of mine. If not because of your special circumstances, and the need to put you in safer hands, I wouldn't use such a lowly act to force you to get married at such a young age.

Alexander seems decent and looks trustworthy. More importantly, he has the power to protect you. Pride and dignity aren't worth a d*mn if it means compromising your safety!

[Putri Siti Sabrina Malek]
"Sorry Brother Number Two, you don't need to come anymore. Our surprise reunion is canceled. It looks like we all cannot officially meet our sister Number Three yet.

She just got married. Based on the information I've received from our other sibling, the groom has more capabilities to protect her as compared to all us 6 siblings' power combined.

It's a high time we pay our blood debt to her. Time is crucial now. We need to stay low and keep our eyes and ears wide open."

[Benjamin Clancy]
Ben: "Malina,  have you gotten married?! Why now? Why so sudden?"
Malina: How did you know?
Ben: "Siti told me just now! 
Malina: "Sorry, Ben. Things are pretty hectic at this moment, I'll talk to you later."

Ben was wondering if Malina somehow knows that as soon she comes of age, her life will be in peril again. It seems that Sister Number Four and I still need to maintain our identity as pen pals and senior high school friends. Whatever the cost, we are all six siblings by oath, vow with our life.  Malina must reach age nineteen alive!

Between love and duty, which is one a person should choose when it comes to marriage?

But in my story, it's a little bit of both when I enter this new phase of life.
What is the result?  AWKWARD. Yup. Even the big capital letters can't sum up my feelings.

Because it mixes with guilt, making me feel wrong, tense and a little bit giddy when facing my borrowed new handsome husband.

And why is that? It because the groom ended up marrying the bridesmaid when my big sister, the bride, went missing on the day of the wedding ceremony!







# This current cover books do not belong to me. Found it on internet. It just a temporary cover until I draw a new ones.

In just a day, all she could think of was the fact that her own marriage was coming soon. Which she had to find some way to wiggle out of it in the first place. Yuntong had not visited her, not that it was that important. If anything, it will be a lot easier for her to leave without having to keep him updated. And said escape had to be well before it had been the most important. Out of her own room, tired by days of thinking and wondering just what was going to be done. Or how it was done.

 

Some fresh air might do better for her in her thinking and maybe talking with someone else might give her ideas. At least the enthusiasm died down, with no one in town thinking that she must be elated at scoring such a match. She didn't know that many thought her capable of being so normal in the first place, when she was at most she was considered off for her behaviours and choices. Even more irritating was how many assumed that by choice she should have been happy to end up married to him. Although she didn't even need to speak, preferring to tune it out as she thought about her own way to escape.

 

Many knew Yuntong to be an odd boy, but by all means bright and capable of independent thought. And will make his own trip to Kaifeng when he was of age. Their marriage was not unusual, boys often married before they were twenty. For the imperial family to maximize heirs, it was at the age of fifteen. Where many doubt their potentcy, although some managed to have children by that point. Even girls could have been married to them at twelve, and no older than fifteen. Even as here it was far less common, girls often married at fourteen and perhaps older. But few went beyond twenty-five, which had been considered too old for marriage and incapable of giving birth to children.

 

That was debatable, since she knew that some even went till their forties before they stopped having children. Although the risk was high, but as she knew it was always for the young girls more than the older women. Since the latter had likely been through more births and thus better able to handle it as compared to a young girl whose best experience was probably seeing her mother in such a position.

 

She had told her mother of her own plans; she said nothing which she took for a quiet approval. And the fact that her own choices were her own, whether they were good or bad she will have to face them herself. Not that it was all too important, as it suggested that she will have her support regardless of what she did. And in such a matter, she didn't take a stand. Not intending to have her choose between them. After all, she was one who made a demand of a world that said they should have none. Simply accept that it is their lot in life to suffer and nothing more. That childbearing was their duty; since it took a lot of energy and sometimes even the life of the mother along with it.

 

Although now all she was thinking about were her choices and options of who she should choose. At least she now had the excuse of saying that she was preparing for her upcoming wedding. Many came to the conclusion that she had been deciding to sew, which she simply let them be. Having the time to that was a good excuse for coming with plans, as days flew past her without too many questions asked about what she was doing. Other than those who have seen her giving her their blessings and advice for life after marriage.

 

She knew that marriage was a time consuming and tedious affair. With many preparations that it was often done by a family, because of the magnitude. The bigger the wedding meant the more lavish, and in wealthy families the numbers could go close to a thousand. Thus she knew that no one will think that she was free, since she was largely a girl raised by peasants and needed to be taught etiquette. Or that she was preparing for married life.

 

Going on her own was foolish— she did not know anyone outside of this town. And neither anything to really cover her up. Someone has to be willing to travel with her, even as her marriage was viewed with liberation. A woman must have a home to call her own; it meant that of her husbands whom she has to serve. And many thought that it was fine time she had a man in her life, as she did not have a father to obey and teach her womanly virtues.

 

Which meant that she also had to be discreet in this plan.

 

"Don't you have a wedding to plan?" Qingshuang did it to remind her of an awfully inconvenient fact, something she did want to avoid even thinking about. At least to keep her mind off what will happen should she choose to leave. She knew that those was not avoidable. At least at this point.

 

"I kinda wished I left this place a long long time ago." She was not lying about that, she did have that in mind for a long while. That she should leave when she had the chance to do so.

 

"It's a little too late for that."

 

"Take a seat." Feiyu was a lot more supportive as she could see. She took one, with her taking the chance to ask Xiao Yan for some desserts over. It was in the middle of summer, which meant that many will either be outside or keeping cool in the inside. She had tied her hair into the same braid, a bun had been anything but her last choice. Only when the heat was unbearable will she choose to do so. Because it was time consuming for her to tie it in the first place.

 

"Are you going to jilt him?" Feiyu looked at her. She kept her voice down, for this was still rather crowded.

 

"If I don't, he's jilting me." Feiyu gave a laugh as well. Qingshuang could barely hold it back, otherwise no one will know what they were laughing about.

 

"Wow, what an unwilling bride and groom." Even he still found it hilarious as he continued to giggle. Chaoyun could only stare as though she was not caring, on the inside she has realised the irony of her own situation. Even when it seemed the least likely she will have ended up like this. But she did, finding herself in one of the situations where many knew that it was golden. Especially since she was a commoner, with a mother who never married.

 

"It feels as though both our fathers should wed and not us." Since they were the ones who were far more keen to this arrangement. Since Yuntong shared her sentiment about this match as well. Regardless of how it seemed rather thought of at the last moment, there wad the fact that neither had shared any good feeling to the other. Even when including her parentage, it was just even more difficult.

 

Since the last person who had the right to offer her like that was her own father. The one who gave her away to another to raise, rather than do it himself. On account of supersition that she was bad luck, or that she will not be raised well. A girl without a mother will not learn how to be a proper woman, as she will not have one who loves her as well as willing to rein her in.

 

"Technically they are, wedding their families to each other."

 

"I just don't see how it has anything to do with me."

 

"Well in his eyes, you're the daughter he abandoned and he simply wants to arrange a good life for you as a way to make up."

 

She rolled her own eyes.

 

"I'm just being honest." She knew Feiyu meant no harm from that, even as she found this method ridiculous. If she was his child, he should have tried to know her. Not assume and then throw her into another family for her own good. Even when her own reputation was anything but likely to yield a good wife. Many found her strange, odd and stubborn. Refusing to ever simply follow or think like the other girls. And her skill in sewing had been horrendous.

 

"How is this even making up?"

 

"To anyone, it is." Feiyu did not show a shred of emotion in this, coolly telling her the reasoning behind her own father. Almost as though she was the one who has went through this and not her. A similar understanding of her own predicament and what caused it. And the reason why she never understood the man's actions. She did not choose to look through his eyes, to know why.

 

"He didn't even ask me whether I wanted this." It was pointless to give someone a gift without ever thinking of what they had in mind in the first place. She never did that, even when she received gifts it was because they knew she was keen to take it up. Not because she felt that she needed and had to do so. Which was what happened here.

 

"That's how fathers show their love. By making you do things he thinks is good for you." Qingshuang took a bottle of wine. Almost as though it affected him in every sense of the word. She didn't know how true this was, even though she knew that to be a parent didn't mean making decisions. It also meant being able to guide a child so that they could leave and eventually teach them how to go about their life. Not dictate it to them, not expecting them to follow without putting a second thought.

 

By assuming something of her, and making something like this as compared to simply asking what she had in mind. The man proved that he had not cared an inch about her. Whether she was alive or dead was of no matter, it was as though she was just another item that had found a buyer who will take great care of it. Not a person who will have an idea what she wanted in life. She clenched her own fist, knowing that if she played the happy betrothed she will be allowed more freedom.

 

"Well, someone is still bitter." Feiyu side eyed him.

 

"Not as though you're any better." He gave a mocking smile to her.

 

She gave a sigh. "True."

 

Clear that it had not been to mock or anything like that. It simply was a smile which suggested this was nothing more than simply teasing.

 

Were the two of them children who had simply chose another path, and defied their own fathers. She did make a guess that both of them had to hail from wealthy families, at least with their education and mannerisms. Qingshuang could read, and brought plenty of money along. Feiyu despite all was showing her talents, which for her age was young to have been independent.

 

"If you follow me, you have to become my apprentice." That was the truth she knew it was. An offer it is, but it didn't seem to be out of pity. "With that mouth of yours, you can learn to charm with it. Most depend on their looks, but Feiyu seems to have been far more skilled than she was in reality. Thus she knew that it was a good chance she learned the skills of them. Although never being one who did so, even as her current work was similar. Many chose her because she knew how to please not because she was a faster server.

 

But because she added on as an atmosphere, who helped to serve and make it smooth. Without it being too long, and even stall if it was not ready. Sometimes she joined in with them, often chatting with the men and the women. If any of them were keen to have such an experience.

 

"Do I have to give my answer now?"

 

"No. I don't expect you to."

 

"But I plan to anyway. I'll become your apprentice."

 

"If anyone asks, I'm not testifying for this." Both of them rolled their own eyes at his words.

Chaoyun is a girl who sometimes wondered about the possibility of her finding her own path. Not having her own life be dictated by anyone else, or decided for her the moment she was born. She has always held her own fate by her own hands. 

And wanting to see the world had been her dream. For years she spent it in a town, where people come and go and in hopes of seeking a chance to leave it. A chance to see the country and the world beyond her own town. 

That seems almost impossible, or a fleeting dream. Until one day, where her town receives a visitor. And all sorts of situations start happening to her and she was often at the centre of them. Making it hard for her to not ignore them as it was her own reputation at stake here .

This Li Zhuzi was a phoenix man. Moreover, he was the Phoenix Man of scumbag men.
Fortunately, the two of them were not married. If they were married, Sun Ya's life would be completely ruined in his hands.
Who would have thought that he would be able to lie to two women in such a broken home? This kid really had many tricks up his sleeve.
Lin Lei raised her eyebrows and said, "Sun Ya, if you want to cry, then cry. After you cry, forget about him after tonight. Do you understand?
He's just a scumbag man. He's not worth your tears. Do you understand?
"The tears you're shedding now are just to pay for your ignorance in the past. After you cry, you've already paid for this bill. Just let this matter drift away with the wind!
"You should be thinking now that it's fortunate that the two of you aren't married.
"If you find out the truth about everything after getting married, that would be the most painful thing for you. "
Sun Ya also understood what Lin Lei meant. Indeed, a person had to look forward in life. Moreover, this could be considered a blessing in disguise.
"sister, thank you. I understand. Don't worry. I will never think of him again. " Sun Ya raised her head and wiped her tears.
Cook Sun saw that his daughter had thought it through and looked at Lin Lei with gratitude. There were some things that he, as a father, could not say. Now that she was the one to say it, his daughter suddenly thought it through.
"Mother, I don't know where the two of them have gone to hide?
This morning, I was scared out of my wits. The first and second masters in Hongfu building were all shot.
I heard from them that they had been rescued, but they were only left with their last breath.
I wonder how much money they would have to spend to bring them back?
The most important thing was the safe. The safe had gone missing. The first master insisted that it was Cook Sun who shot them and fled in fear of punishment!"
"Son, you didn't receive any news at all!
"Is there a lot of money in the safe?
"If only we could find them and you could swindle the money.
"Then we wouldn't have to live such a poor life. "
"Mom, I WANT TO SCAM THEM! But I don't even know where they are. I can't even scam them even if I want to! "
This amount of information made Lin Lei very happy because her plan in her heart had finally succeeded.
It seemed that no matter what happened between the two brothers, Sun Qingping would protect his younger brother no matter what.
He actually pushed all the blame onto Cook Sun. This way, Cook Sun wouldn't be able to explain even if he had 100 mouths.
Cook Sun said, "I really didn't expect those two brothers to be so lucky.
"They are too good at deceiving people. When I left, the safe was still fine.
"I think that the two of them colluded and stole the money from the safe, preparing to backstab us. Fortunately, I didn't go back to the black market!
"If I had gone back last night, I might have been a corpse now.
"And my daughter would have become their plaything.
"Now, I really feel extremely fortunate! "
Sun Ya reached out her hands to hold her father's hands and said, "father, we got a blessing in disguise. All the disasters were averted. "
Lin Lei felt very happy when she saw the deep love between the father and daughter, even though she was involved in this matter.
However, if it weren't for them who happened to go to Hongfu Brothel, she wouldn't have saved them.
Perhaps God had a destiny!
Song Yi looked at the room coldly and said, "are we going to let him go just like that?
He deceived the feelings of the two women "Who knows how many women he will deceive in the future? " They only listened and opened their spiritual senses. The mother and son, who were dressed in tattered clothes, spoke with a ferocious expression. It made him feel very disgusted, as if he had seen Tang Shufen.


[ era Wen ] died after experiencing the apocalypse for ten years. He wore the clothes of a newlywed wife who was despised by her husband's family. He fought with the best, abused the scum, and changed the fate of the apocalypse. In the 1980s, she was living well.
And he was a strong and overbearing prince charming. He was professional in protecting his wife, and in order to repay his kindness, he married a fat wife. One day, he realized that after his wife woke up, she was a completely different person... ...
Lin Lei: "Song Yi, I want a divorce. It's not suitable for us to have a generation gap! ".
Song Yi: "Don't even think about it. You will be my wife for the rest of your life. If you want to leave me, no way! "
Lin Lei: "You Scoundrel, I'm not your wife! "
Song Yi: "I forgot. Then let's make our relationship real now! "
[ explosive love story + 1V1 + double purity + power + fantasy ]

Zara has never really been out of country…the idea of travelling alone itself was out of question.  But after living in the shadow for nearly thirty years without achieving nothing more but a degree, getting in and out of different jobs unable to find the right one, she thought it was high time to put her timidity and fear aside and accept the invitation of her brother to come and visit them in London.  She was set to take the plane to the UK in December with a stopover of three days in Dubai all by herself.  The thought itself makes her stress level go from zero to one hundred real quick but for now she preferred not to think about it.  She was still two months away from taking the big leap from South Africa to the land of her majesty.

For the time being there are many other topics that are way more important to think about like the wedding of her best friend Isabella who is getting married in one month time.  "Good Lord, please give me strength", She said with a sigh. Among some of her problems there is also the fact that her love life is practically chaotic, with dating the wrong guy, getting cheated on, and being left broken hearted, she has been single for quite a long time now not being able to find her soul mate.  To be honest it has been so long that she is on the verge of giving up in finding the love of her life and accepts her ill fated situation.   Zara cannot stop thinking about how all her friends are getting married one after another and moving on with their life while all she is doing is just…attending their weddings.  Though she is very happy to do so she nevertheless wants to experience and enjoy some good days too just like them. "How pathetic my life is", she said pitifully.  But then again let's focus on the important thing.  The wedding!!

Since she was jobless and had nothing to do, the task at hand was to look for a wedding caterer as soon as possible.  The one that was booked by her friend Isabella cancelled a few hours ago.  How can she forget the moment she got a call early in the morning with Isabella on the other side of the receiver freaking the heck out.  Zara thought the worse had happened.  After fifteen minutes of nonstop ranting, Isabella assigned her the task of finding a caterer.  She did not even get the time to respond with a positive answer that there was a dead silence on the other side.  Yes, Isabella just hung up on her but this was no time to hold grudges, the poor girl was obviously panicking.  Preparing a wedding was indeed a big responsibility.  

Zara spent the entire day searching the internet and calling wedding caterers.  But it seemed that everyone was already booked at this time of the year.  One person even asked if she booked one year ago as if this was really something that people would do.  Or maybe it was really a thing, how could she know, it's not that she is married or going to get married.  She has no experience of how to prepare for a wedding whatsoever.  "Jeez!! This is exactly the type of thoughts that I do not want to have, it make me pity myself, let's focus, come on".  She sigh and took a deep breath and started dialling that one last number on the list she made of all the wedding caterers she could find on the internet who operate in Cape Town.  After a few beeps, someone picked up and within few minutes of talking, and negotiating, she ended the call with a relief.  Finally, the job was done.  Isabella has got herself a wedding caterer.  

She then texted Isabella to inform her that everything was under control and that she could tick off finding a wedding caterer from the list of to do things.  Isabella replied her back with a big thank you gif and added she is going to pay back when her big time comes with a wink emoticon.  This made Zara giggled and she said: "I hope that day come soon".  She really wanted to have someone who was going to take care of her like a woman needs to be taken care of, care for all the little things that concerned her, love her to the moon and back, to look at her with so much love in his eyes that one can melt like a candle and to think that she was the most important and valuable person in his life. At times, she thinks what it would be like to really have someone like that in her life, how life changing that moment would be but then she brushes the thought off thinking that it only exists in movies or in those online books that she writes.  She is a full time writer who writes fan fiction and romance fiction online just so she could earn some money to survive.  But it also is a way for her to put her thoughts into words when it becomes too difficult  to express them verbally.

She would write about her ideal man in some of her stories knowing very well that it just could not be true in real life so she comfort and make herself happy by writing about him.  She often describes him as being very tall; having a lean but muscular body, short spiky hair with a good personality, noble character, successful and trustworthy. Zara did not care much what he does for a living, as long as he has a decent job it's all good or even how good looking he must be.  She always believes that inner beauty is more important than anything else.  As a matter of fact, she would not consider herself to be that beautiful, she is just moderate.  Coming from Indian descendants, she was born in Cape Town, South Africa where she has lived and spent her entire life.  She is herself tall, slim, with layered long dark brown hair, dark brown eyes and slightly fair in complexion, the reason why she wants to have somebody just like that in her life.  But then again, it is not like you are going to get everything exactly as you wanted it to be in life.  The irony of life itself is it hits you with something you have not been expecting.  

It is something that Zara knows very well as whatever she has expected so far, life has thrown something way different on her path.  So now she does not expect, she go about and accept everything that comes her way without fighting it.  Needless to say let's wait and see what life throws at her next.

Born in the beautiful city of Cape Town in South Africa, Zara is currently living a nightmare as she is still jobless at the age of thirty and while all her friends are getting married, she has been cursed with the life of a single for a long time.  After attending her best friend Isabella wedding, she decided to travel all the way to the UK on her own for a change of atmosphere.  
This journey was about to be a turning point in her miserable life when she accidentally bumps into a handsome stranger at the airport just when she was starting her trip.  
Little did she know that this handsome hunk was the heartthrob Daeshim, a famous South Korean actor that every Korean girl dreams of!  Was this a meaningful clash of fate or was it just another incident at the airport with an unknown person?

"Umm...I don't know how to start yet..!"
Jimin sigh.....

"I will just wait for the chance ...hope it comes soon..umm oh by the way..have you tell Wendy about ... your feelings yet..and our gender...?"

That makes Hoseok's head turn away. 
"I haven't yet..I'm still scared..."
Jimin shook his head disappointedly.
"Well!", Hoseok continues, "I have been occupied with work these days... being near to Wendy makes me happy...that ..that ..I dare not to ruin it..I wonder how will Wendy react to it.."

Jimin thinks for seriously for a moment.
"Umm..she seems to likes you a lot...!.I think even if she is not in love with you..I think she can still understand you...I mean really..7 months will over soon...Man...you need to take some actions...!"

Hoseok takes Jimin's words to heart.. maybe it's time to take action for reality no matter what the results would be.

He greets her.
"Hello, It's nice to meet you Madam"

"Nice to meet you too..." Yoona greets him back.  
She knows him. Lee Min Hong....a young manager at her family's hotel/resort...

"Heyy..Max.. long no see!!"Im Seo Hyun's voice comes from behind.

The two friends hug.

They go to the café nearby...Yoona is watching them from a little afar without her husband knowing. She wants to know more about this guy, Max...she has always known him as Lee Min Hong. Her husband does however tell something about Max before..but she didn't care much at the time....but now Yoona at least guess that Lee Min Hong is known to be liking Wendy too...more what she is more worried about is she had heard enough rumours that this guy has no shame in having affairs with even married women.

Im Seo Hyun: "Hot or cold?"

Lee Min Hong: "Ice Blue Soda will be great..!"

The drink is served.

Im Seo Hyun: "How have you been Max..it's very very long time.. you are very cruel..."

Lee Min Hong: (Laughing)"How come I am cruel!!..but yea.. there's a lot of things.."

Im Seo Hyun: "Well you are working at my parents in law place...and yet...you never think about me...!!"

Lee Min Hong is laughing..

Lee Min Hong: "Well I am finally here..!"

They both laugh...

Lee Min Hong: "Is little Seo Hyun or Yoona coming soon?"

Im Seo Hyun sighs..."We are waiting...at least I hope we will get there before my brother in law...!"

Lee Min Hong is quiet down by that...

Im Seo Hyun: "Umm.. what happened .. you look a little down..at my mention of my brother in law!"

Lee Min Hong:"Ohh no no... nothing...!"

Im Seo Hyun: "You must have know them better than me because I heard you work with them.!"

Lee Min Hong nods...
"Yepp...for working!!"

He continues.."Your brother in law is lucky.. and you too..!!"

Im Seo Hyun: "Hmm... Marriage life is good..I do really feel mature after I am married although we don't really have a kid yet..Yep You are right having a partner who can share your life is like a gift of life...how about you. ... Will you be finding someone to spend your life with?.. I think you should.."

Lee Min Hong now looks very serious...and he sigh 
"Maybe I'm not made for such a life.. "

Im Seo Hyun: "Nahh..Max...I know your disappointment in marriage...but chances can still be there as long as you give yourself chances..!" 

Im Seo Hyun: "Well...you will never know... sometimes I think you will prefer this type of life then going through life randomly!"

************

Meanwhile at Jung's household...

Wendy is helping preparing dinner ... Wendy is about to enter the kitchen to get more dishes..she hears the house keeper and her niece, Mina speaking...

Mina: " Aunt..I heard that Master Hoseok and his ex girlfriend met..her name is Soo Ae .. right !!"

House Keeper: "Oh well .. our master Hoseok is married and so is Ms Soo Ae...I heard she has two daughters ..they are both mature now....I think they just see each other like old friends and nothing more.. besides young master clearly lobes his wife.."

Mina: "But they sleep in different rooms!"

House Keeper: "There's must be a reason...but we better not curious about it!"

Mina: "Soo Ae was so stupid...I don't understand how she would choose her not so responsible husband who was married before over our bachelor Master..who is younger and richer...Very STUPID!"

House Keeper: (shook her head)" Oh...well..my niece, sometimes people do not choose reasonably .. sometimes they can come across to make decisions that they think are reasonable but aren't reasonable?"

Mina looks confused.

House Keeper: "But now let's help our lady prepare for dinner..!"

Wendy turns away from the kitchen...

And everyone , Mr and Mrs Jung and Hoseok all are back for dinner.

************

It is night time now... Wendy is sitting on her bed. Her eyes are still wide...she is thinking about Hoseok...so Hoseok likes and attracted to both men and women?

Hoseok is in front of Wendy's bedroom door..
He is hesitated to knock..
He is telling himself.."It's ok Hope..she needs to know the truth...if anything turn wrong...I will think of another plan..."

And he knocks the door.

Wendy comes to have a crush on a man called Jung Hoseok when he saved her from an abusive man who is hitting his wife ....when they were all on vacation in Jeju.
It is her first time to like a man. Later she learns that their fathers are friends and would like them to marry. The problem is Wendy finds out that Jung Hoseok is a gay (although it is a not true). Wendy would like to refuse to the marriage even how much she is fond of him, but the fathers insist they work together at his family's hotel to get to know each other. Wendy and Hoseok gets to near each other more and become friends. Wendy also meets another man who seems to interests in her, one of the most important man in hotel management team, Mr Lee Min Hong. Her appearance with Lee Min Hong makes Hoseok realises his feeling for Wendy is more than a friend and he doesn't want to lose her. Especially when Lee Min Hong is known to be a womaniser very unlike him, who he considers himself a boring normal guy and a loser in first love. How will he try to tell his feelings to Wendy?
.........
(Chapter 19)
Wendy: "Hope...you behave so badly today .. especially how you appear in here. it's so  rude.."
Hoseok: "I know. .I can't help it...!"
Wendy: "Why!"
Hoseok: "Do you like him ...do you like Lee Min Hong?"
Wendy: "Well I'm getting to know him.. what's wrong if I like him!"
At that... Hoseok just couldn't control himself more..he just grab Wendy's face and kisses her on the lips. 
....
Wendy: "What does this mean Hope ...you like both women and men?  but you should never cheat Jimin. ."
In this, Hoseok remembers she has mistaken him as gay man...and somehow an idea just come to him.
Hoseok: "Er....I'm very sorry Wendy.. I just want to know how it feels like to kiss a woman."
Wendy: " it's just that?"
......
Hoseok continues,  "Will you marry me? Wendy" 
Wendy: "Are you crazy.... whatever is happening to you ??"
Wendy looks up at Hoseok..His face is very serious.
........
Wendy: "I will need to think about it!!"
