At lunchtime, Li bai was still reading her novel. She felt her stomach was growling cause of hunger.
She went to the cafeteria and bought a chicken sandwich. She silently ate that and then went to the next class.
After finishing school, she went to her house walking. She opened the main door and was greeted with a few giggles.
she heard a few people talking. she followed the voices and stepped inside the living room.
There is sitting a man who looks like is in his late forties. A woman around the same age of the man. Both of them are really beautiful. Their dress-up style clearly shows that they are rich, like freaking rich.
whatever but why they are here?
"yes, our son will be here soon. He is busy and taking out time from his busy schedule is tough sometimes," that man said smiling.
Her mother felt her presence first and with a fake, huge grin plastered on her face, she approached her.
"Li bai, honey. Meet them. They are your future in-laws, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang." she said smiling but Li Bai could see through her acting unlike those people sitting in front of her.
She is actually saying,*bitch, come and sit here. we want to get relief from you as soon as possible. Put on a smile on your ugly face to make it look a little less ugly.*
Li Bai felt pain in her heart. She knows that her mother doesn't love her but still. Her mother is really desperate to get rid of her. Even after all those years, she still craves for her mother's love.
"come, " said her so-called mother again while guttering her teeth in anger.
She slowly went towards them and silently sat on one of the sofas.
Thousands of questions were running inside of her head.
"whom I am going to marry?"
"Do I know him?"
"Is he nice?"
"Is he good-looking?"
"How old is he?"
"Is he going to look after me?"
"will he love me as mum Mi sua did?"
And many more.
"So, Li bai, In which class do you read?" asked the elegant lady, surprisingly hugging her with warmness present in her eyes and voice.
"Yes, dear, in which class?" asked the man who was with the lady, with the same gentleness.
She was touched by their warmth. It's true that little things mean a lot sometimes.
One thing was clear to her and that is her future in-laws are good humans. It matters the most to her but still, a girl's biggest support in her in-law's house is her husband. If your husband is with you then everything is going to fall into place.
"I--" before she could reply, they heard a calling bell ringing.
*Ring Ring*
"Li bai, Go and open the door," her mother said to her.
She went to the main door and opened the door.
She opened the door and saw a woman standing in front of the door.
"I was passing by and my car suddenly stopped working. I need to call someone from my house to come and fix this. Can you let me use your phone?" asked a lady. She is extremely tall and beautiful with her tan skin, brown hair, and olive eyes while Li bai is like a porcelain doll with her porcelain skin, amber eyes, and golden hair.
"yes, of course. Wait a minute," Li bai politely smiled at her and quickly went inside the house. She bought the phone and the lady called someone.
"hello. Yes, I am in the middle of my journey. My car broke down. I need you to get me a car as soon as possible. Ok, bye. Love you, honey."
Li bai couldn't hear what the person from the other side said.
She gave her phone back and after a few minutes, a car came and went away with her.
Li bai went inside and when her future in-laws asked her who it was? she explained the entire story.
"oh and about the question that you asked before. I am in the second year of college."
"That's great. Our sons also--" this time, her future mother-in-law was cut off by their calling bell.
"Li bai, go and open the door."
she went to the main door and opened the door again but this time to nearly fall on the floor cause of shock.
Finally class finished and now both Zhang Yang and Li bai are going to Zhang Yang's office. They entered the office and Li bai looked around in awe. The office was really big. Bigger than her room, bathroom, and living room back in the house combined. But how did an English professor like him get so much privilege? Li bai once heard that Zhang Yang is the president of The Zhang industries & Co., the biggest company in china. She is not sure as she has no idea about the business world. Maybe that was just a rumor. Suddenly, Li bai's full body froze as she looked carefully. Her nightmare has come true. There was nobody around except those two. "Why did you agree to the marriage? " a cold voice asked from behind. She knows that this voice belongs to her dearest fiance, Zhang Yang. "I--I just wanted to agree. T--that's why" she somehow answered. "Drop your act already. What do you want? Money? Fame? " he asked her coldly and his voice send shivers to her veins. She looked at him in
"You didn't even hesitate to kill your own blood, huh. Such a cold-hearted witch you are," he smirked.Li bai's naive and peaceful act is long gone."Now that you know everything, I won't act in front of you. I need this marriage to get out of the shackles made by my parents," She looked unrecognizable all of a sudden."You already have so much power. You can just go and end their lives if they are annoying you that much. Why ask for help?" he asked picking a bottle."A few things are better unsaid. You need someone to look after your baby and I need to hide from my parents. let's get married. It's going to be a fake marriage."Zhang Yang stopped in the middle after hearing her words."Did you hear my previous words? We are mates. You are bound to get together with me. I am not getting a fake marriage with my mate. It's either real or nothing," he said passing her another water bottle.She glared at it. A real marriage was the last thing on her mind.She thought that she would cast som

Plate-crushing noises start ringing in the whole house.The few maids who also work here looked at that little girl in pity.A woman came running to the room and started shouting at the little girl."oh, no. You girl, you can't even do a simple task. You are cursed. Pick up all those pieces. You broke a 10 dollars plate," said that lady holding that little girl's jaw forcefully. The little girl's snow-like skin has become now red cause of the tight grip."Let it go, dear. It's ok. It's only a 10 dollars plate. No big deal. We can buy another, " said a man to that woman affectionately."Ohh, honey. You are just too kind. You are letting this cursed girl stay with us and even feeding her that for free," said that woman while looking back at that man. That man smiled but only he knew why he was doing all this."Let's have dinner, " the men said. "let's go," that woman replied and went to the dining table with that man. She never did once look back at her daughter who haven't eaten anyt
The same plate breaking noises are heard again but this time instead of that seven years old little girl,it's an 20 years old beautiful young adult. Her amber like eyes held the same fear that she used to feel even when she was only seven. Nothing has changed.Her mother again came like before and slapped her tight on her cheeks. pain!pain is all she thought that she would feel but no,it was not pain.It was like someone has casted a spell on her cheeks. In fact her entire body has been numb.Not from the single slap.It's from the beatings that she got on yesterday at College for being noticed by college's hottest guy.huh! She got beaten for being noticed. It was not even her fault but she still got published. It was not her fault that she is that much good looking. Anyone would keep looking at her after seeing her amber eyes and golden hairs. "I have been talking care of you for nothing. You definitely aren't any use of mine. You are nothing just a burden," her mother harshly s

"Li bai, honey. Meet them. They are your future in-laws, Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang." she said
Everyone has their own way of dealing with pain and depression. Her parents had a love marriage and both loved each other a lot. Neither of their families agreed to their marriage but still, they married each other. Li bai was always told that she looks a lot like her father.She got his amber eyes and golden hair. Maybe her mother sees her husband in her daughter every time she looks at her face. Or, it's just Li bai's heart who trying to make her believe that her mother still loves her, she is just trying to deal with her pain. but for how long? It has been 12 years. 12 years since Li bai lost her father. She also lost her mother or maybe it's also her mother who has completely lost herself. All those thoughts made Li bai want to go to a quiet place and pour out her heart by shedding water drops from her eyes.But she can't. She wants to scream but it seems like she has become dumb. She felt like something is stuck in her throat. It's hurting her. No, it's not food. It's her wo
Li bai saw Zhang Yang standing in front of the door.she thought what he was doing here? He sure can't pass the entire way to her house just to complain about her right? She wasn't that much late, tho! her mother and stepfather will kill her."Li bai, who's it?" her mother dearest (NOT) called out."M--my teacher," she replied while stammering."Looks like my son is here," she heard a voice saying.Her son? Impossible. He can't be the one whom she is going to marry, right?"Are you going to let me in or what?" he coldly asked."Maybe my parents talked about her elder sister or something, she is way too young for me. She is like 9 years younger than me, "Zhang Yang thought in his mind. "Y--yes," she again stammered."Stop stammering," he coldly said to her.Li bai felt like she was freezing cause of the cold wide that was coming from his mouth.Ahh, it's Winter going on."My son," that lady from before came running and hugged him."Mum," he smiled while hugging her back.What!! Sudden

unknowingly, Li Bai gulped while looking at Zhang Yang. his eyes became red and looked thirsty for blood. "kai chen, I--" she was cut off by none other than Zhang Yang. "who gave you the permission to confess to my future wife? " he asked coldly. "w-what? you know, student-teacher relationship is illegal, " kai chen asked stubbornly. "If you have forgotten then let me remind you, li Bai is 18 now, an adult. And about the student-teacher relationship, I own this school. so, I make the rules and I can quit this job anytime as I am already a successful CEO of China's biggest company, The Zhang Industries Cop. " he said. Kai Chen didn't know that Zhang Yang owns this school. yes, they knew each other starting the moment Kai Chen was born. Zhang Yang's elder sister, Zhang Fie happens to be Kai Chen's mother, and his father, Shin Chen is the best friend of Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang is 27 years old while Shin Chen is 35 years old. Zhang fie and Shin Chen studied in the same school and w

"If you don't know then let me tell you, I have a three-year-old son, " he said breaking the silence. She becomes frozen in her place. He looked too young to have a baby, hell no one could tell if he was even married. With his dark brown, soft, and shiny-looking hair, frozen crystal blue eyes, and sharp nose at 1.90 ft height, he looks like he is mostly 21.His tight-fitting shirt couldn't hide the shape of his body. He has the perfect physique. "How old are you? " she asked curiously. He didn't expect her to ask this question. He was shocked but his expression didn't show on his face.After all, He was a master at hiding his emotions. Betrayed by his EX wife, he had lost his trust in girls. No matter how much he tries, he can't forget her betrayal. She cheated on him right after giving birth to their baby boy with his rival in the business world. "27." he calmly replied. "27!! He is 9 years older than her but that's fine cause age is just a number," Li Bao thought.She kind of
