章節 13: Special Conditions for the Marriage Alliance
Choi Kazuki examined the printed parchment.
"The Choi-Wu Harmonious Marriage Decalogue"
Proposed by Athena Hexie Wu
This deal of compromise is made to ensure a good marriage and peaceful relationship between the Third Young Lady of the Wu Corps and the Young Heir of Choi Corporation. Failure to follow the set of terms and agreements will be grounds for the termination of the marriage contract.
The special terms and conditions are the following:
1. Athena Hexie Wu will do anything Young Master Choi asks as long as it is reasonable and within her capabilities otherwise SHE CANNOT BE FORCED;
2. Young Master Choi and Athena Hexie Wu will have separate bed rooms with bathrooms;
3. Athena Hexie Wu will not interfere with Young Master Choi's affairs;
4. Athena Hexie Wu will pretend she doesn't know Young Master Choi when in public to protect his reputation;
5. Young Master Choi WILL NOT destroy the Wu Corporations NO MATTER WHAT;
6. Athena Hexie Wu will help whatever she can with the Choi Empire's business;
7. Young Master Choi and Athena Hexie Wu will be civil with each other in private.
"If..If there's anything Young Master Choi would like to change or add, then please tell me so I can make an ammendment. Attached there are all my existing contact numbers and messaging accounts..." Hexie Wu anxiously fiddled with her necklace. She somehow found it soothing earlier when she was on their car ride. It did not escape Kazuki's exceptional eyesight.
"Hmm... What would happen if I wouldn't accept this proposal?" Choi Kazuki's ice cold glare pierced through Athena Hexie Wu.
She felt chills in her spine. She hid her trembling hands behind her and closed her eyes.
'You're Athena Hexie Wu. Ice Queen of the Wu Corporations.'
"Then I will break off this marriage alliance. Ruin the Choi Empire before you destroy the Wu Corporation. Run away. And probably change my identity." She mustered her courage to have an equally cold glare and smiled menacingly.
'For my family. For Athena Hexie Wu.'
The two coldly glared at each other until Choi Kazuki smirked and nodded.
"Fine. I accept your proposal but I might add something later on. What does destroying corporations have to do with me?" Kazuki signed the paper and let it drop for Athena to catch. And luckily she caught it with her fast reflex.
Athena also took out another paper.
"Young Master Choi Kazuki, here's your copy of the deal," She respectfully pushed the paper unto Kazuki's hands.
Then all of a sudden, a loud grumbling sound terrorized the chill ambiance.
"Umm...Boss-- I mean Young Master Choi Kazuki, can you now lead me to the bathroom? I really have to answer nature's call!" Athena held on to her stomach. Kazuki blankly nodded and led her towards the nearest bathroom.
While she was busy answering "nature's call", he finally let out the laugh he have been holding in while rereading the printed parchment.
[ ] "Pffft--how amusing!"
"Big bro? What's funny?" A kid's voice was heard from behind. His little brother has a habit of sneaking up on people huh?
"Nothing. I think I just found a gem. Why are you here, Kichiro-chan?" He crouched down and ruffled his little brother's hair.
"Hey! Don't mess my hair!" Choi Kichiro grumpily said, but in reality, he really like being patted in the head by his older brother. It's been a long time since he did this, and he saw him laughing too. If his big brother is happy, then he is happy too.
"Mom sent me to fetch you and Mochi-chan," He answered.
"Big bro, after you get married with Mochi-chan, will you be still able to play with me?" He hugged his older brother, he was still young but he sure knows that his big brother will no longer live with them. He was holding his tears.
"Yes, after you file an appointment with Secretary Park, or with Uncle Kazuhiro!" He hugged his little brother and picked him up. He would only show his warm side towards his little brother.
"Aish! Big bro, let me down! I'm no longer a baby! What if Mochi-chan see us??" Kichiro pouted and struggled getting out of his tall brother's embrace. And right at this moment, the door to the bathroom opened and fair chubby young lady stepped out.
Athena was hearing muffled voices outside the door when she was washing her hands, since the sink was near the door.
She saw the youngest Choi struggling while being held up by the scary Heir of Choi Empire.
"Hey! You can't harm a child!" She bravely snatched the young kid she have taken a liking to and hid him behind her.
"He's still a kid so forgive whatever he has done, Boss!" She pleaded for the young boy. This fiancè of hers is really ruthless, the young boy was his brother!
"What!? I was not harming my own brot--"
"Mochi-chan, let's get away from big bro!" Choi Kichiro played like he was really a victim and dragged Hexie Wu.
Choi Kazuki was stupefied. He can't believe the way things run around Hexie Wu's head and especially how his own little brother betrayed him. And he still couldn't believe that his scared chubby bunny fiancee would do a brave act.
He massaged the bridge of his nose at the brewing headache.
"What an interesting gem...yet still annoying..." he sighed.
The dinner resumed, Hexie Wu became part of the conversation. She would occasionally give him a disapproving look but when he caught her, she would hastily look away like a scared rabbit.
The dinner ended peacefully. Athena gave them a parting gift. She gave the big heavy box to Kotone Choi.
"Oh my! It's succulents! Arranged in..."
"Feather Rock Garden. I arranged them myself, Mommy," Athena smiled warmly. She sighed in relief. She knew succulents are the best gift. They can also mean money and gold. Truly adequate for the Choi family.
"Awwe it means maternal love! Aigoooo~" Kotone was in tears.
Athena then gave each of the remaining Choi's the mini pots of succulents mostly echeverria and cactis.
"To care for these plants, water them every after 2-3 days with adequate sunlight. They're very easy to take care of. Just don't put too much water or sunlight. Too much of everything is not good." She advised them.
"Our precious jewel is currently into gardening lately. Some of these bad boys are from our garden, we do gardening together as our father-daughter activities," George Wu said proudly.
"Dad!" Hexie Wu puffed her cheeks.
"Aigoo! You can always come here and assist me in my garden Hexie-chan!" Kotone Choi offered. If she can't get close with her daughter-in-law through food, then she'll have her through gardening.
After Wu family left, Kotone cried happily.
"Huhuhu today was a success!! Zuki-chan, please be nice to my daughter-in-law, okay??" Kotone gripped her son's shoulders. Kazuki only nodded.
"If you don't, say good bye to your musical career and the Choi Empire black card!" After saying her piece with cutting-scissors gesture, she happily went to her zen garden with Hexie-chan's gift.
"What?!" He protested.
"You heard your mom, son..." Choi Hajoon only sighed and patted Kazuki's right shoulder. He followed his wife towards the zen garden.
"These are adorable, big bro! I'm going to take care of mine for Mochi-chan's sake!" Even his little brother was bewitched by his fiancee. He was even holding the pot like a baby.
"Hexie Wu...you fooled my family but not me. I'll find out what you really are planning!" he gazed at his pot of succulents and felt the parchment on his pocket then walked back inside. His suspicion towards Hexie Wu was now on par with his interest on her.
