Mr. Han, is this a marriage proposal?"
"Wei Ru, don't think too much."Wei looked at the domineering man puzzled; why was he asking her about her qualifications as a wife if they weren't wedded.
"My grandfather has instructed me to marry you, a woman who I met only once who threw herself at me. So, I ask again, what qualifies you to be my wife." Wei stared at the angry man before and sighed. Grabbing her bag, she stood up to leave.
"The first time I met you was an accident, the second time was a coincidence, Mr. Han, I have no interest in you. If there is nothing else, I'll take my leave now." before she could finish, he sprung to his feet, his dominating figure standing before her.
"Wei Ru, don't test my patience; this marriage is not a choice; your father presented grandfather with the lotus seal."
"What?!" Wei asked, surprised; she had been told about the lotus seal by her mother before she died. Wei's grandparents had prevented Han Corporation f
Wei arrived home mentally exhausted, two annoying encounters in one day, she lamented as she thought of her misfortune of meeting both Chen Sun and Tyler Han today. "Ugh, " she sighed melting her couch, she kicked the shoes off her feet."What did Mr. Han want?""To marry me," Wei replied too tired to explain."What? So he did fall in love with you…" Xo replied running from the kitchen."No, my father invoked the lotus seal, now we're being forced…." Wei."Forced, lotus seal, Wei?" Xo asked, but Wei was already sleeping, she smiled grabbing a blanket she covered Wei."Forced marriage," she said out loudly sighing. Wei had been through so much after her mother's death, her father's indifference, her sisters and stepmother bullying. Xo had been there through it all sharing that pain with her. After college when they got their first jobs and Wei no longer had to rely on them, Xo had thought that everything would be better. She sho
Wei looked up at the eyes that always held scorn when they were cast upon. “President Han I.”“Didn’t expect to see me here, how lucky I was to witness the real you. I ensure you will never enjoy being Mrs.Han.” and with that, he walked past her. Xo looked at her, but Wei just held her head down; no, don’t hold your head down, Xo thought. I never want to see you with your head down, anger churning, she shouted after Tyler Han.“The real hero? What do you know? You pom..”Wei grabbed Xo's arm and shook her head.“He’s a client here; we can’t cause trouble.”“I don’t care; he can’t treat you like dirt, I’ll.”“Xo! We need this job.” Xo sighed. She knew Wei was right. This was the top architectural firm in the country. Getting fired would ensure they never work in the industry again. Sighing, Xo released her anger,"ok, Wei,
Chen sat in the dark corner of Weichen bar which he owned and had name after him and Wei. It had been their favorite place to unwind after a long week at work, laughing and drinking with friends. The bar was designed by Wei he had bought it as a gift at graduation so she would have her first design job out of college. Now looking at it everything in the place reminded him of Wei, a painful reminder of what he had lost. Drinking a glass of liquor he cussed himself for his stupidity of being caught by Hoo Ru, and cursed again because it had been a week and no one could find her.“Boss.”“if you don’t have that fucking bitch then don’t come in.” Chen replied before downing the glass of brown liquor and requesting and another.“Chen" he heard a shaking female voice say, before she spoke again he sprang to his feet and grabbed Hoo Ru by her throat gripping it a bit too tight.“It seems the gods are kind to me tod
Wei looked up at the house she had grown up in and sighed. This was the house she lost her parents, her mother in a car crash, and her father to indifference. This building held nothing but the pain of her past, all her lonely nights, being abused by her stepmother and ignored by her father. Her father, her mind flashed the image of the domineering Lang Ru. She hadn’t seen him in since she moved out five years ago, she had called him twice since then. The first time to invite him to her college graduation but he didn’t attend and the second time was last week she asked to meet. Hoo Ru was the only one she had kept in contact with, but now even that relationship was broken. A deep pain pierced her heart as the memories flood her mind. “No," she thought the past would not defeat her. She had to face them along with the man who lived within the walls. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes to steel her nerves and walked up to the door knocking. After a moment, a se
She just flew to her feet when she saw her father figure; she steered at her fingers nervously, she dared not look up. Suddenly she felt arms wrapped around her as he pulled her in for a hug. Wei’s body tensed to his touch; he had not hugged her or held her in his arms since she was six; therefore, she did not know how to react and could feel nothing but discomfort as she wondered who this man was.“Wei, you’re home.” Her father shouted joyously, still squeezing her.“Let go of the child; you want to squeeze her to death.” Aunt Din shouted after seeing the discomfort in Wei's expression“Tch,” her father replied, finally releasing Wei from his grasp.“Don’t forget your pl...” he began but stopped as if he remembered something.“If there is nothing else, Madame Din, you can go first. I would like to talk to my daughter.”“Heh, daughter, wonder wh
Wei.” Chen broke the silence first.Wei looked at Hoo who was smirking then at Chen whose face was grey and lifeless, she fought back her anger and her tears pushing passed the couple. “Excuse me.”“Wei.” Chen called grabbing her hand, Wei felt her body jolt in revulsion.“Let me go.” She shouted before running out the door.“Wei wait.” Chen replied as he turned to follow her.“Chen.” Hoo cried out grabbing her arm he glared at her, shook her arm off and chased Wei.“That bitch.” Hoo scowled as she watched Chen leave. She was always taking Chen’s attention, “tch I’ll have to teach her a lesson.” She smirked wickedly before sauntering in the house. Chen watched Wei play with Dylan his 2 year old, she was painting a picture of him when but he kept moving so she tipped the paint brush on the edge of
Wei sat in bar staring at her drink debating whether she should drown her sorrows or call it a night. After her talk with Chen she found herself feeling particularly lonely tonight and did not want to go home to an empty apartment, since Xi was visiting her parents. Wei picked this bar because she visited a few times after work with her Xi and some of their colleagues and she really liked the mature atmosphere of the bar. Taking a sip after finally deciding to comfort herself with some alcohol, she recoiled as the harsh taste hit tongue and as she swallowed, she felt a burning sensation at the back of throat which made her immediately want to toss the drink. ‘Drink it slowly’ her mind suddenly flashed to first time she had snuck liquor with Chen when she was 15. The memory of her first taste of alcohol and the hungover that followed used to make her smile. Now... she grabbed the glass again and took another swig of the bitter alcohol just for today she wanted to forget Chen and Hoo.
Wei took a deep breath as she entered the Elevator and quickly pressed the button for Hoo’s floor. She was nervous that Hoo would lose her child, so she wanted to get the medicine and return it quickly. Then she could go home and cry herself to sleep. She watched as the elevator doors shut before she stepped back and closed her eyes. But she quickly opened them when Chen’s smile popped into her mind. She still loved him and probably would always love him. But he betrayed her, and he was having a baby with her sister, no matter how her heart yearned for him. She knew he would never be hers again. Opening her eyes, she wiped the corner of her eyes that had watered as the elevator came to a stop. Hoo took a deep breath as the door opened, then stepped into the hallway. Without delay, she sprinted towards Hoo’s room. It was not the penthouse suite since that room had a standing reservation that Hoo could never get her hands on, no m
