10 The Contract

The people look at us, dumbstruck about the answer they got, then the reporters acted without haste and flash their cameras on us nearly blinding me.

"Wh-What is the meaning of this Zhou Ying Zhen?!" My father's panicked voice filled my ears and I relished onto that feeling.

They must think that I'm still the naive and pitiful woman they treated me to be, they acted like a fire was lighting on their bottoms; their faces full of anxiety and fear.

Of course they would panicked, because what awaits me wasn't the asylum, but a wedding. A wedding that only benefits the family, the groom have mistresses in and out of the estate while the groom's family only wants to get an amount of my dowry or the little amount it has.

Basically, it was the merging of two families through my sacrifice.

"My-My daughter.....is...is married? How-How could that be?! Did you.....did you force her?" My mothers words held a concern tone that every mother should have.

But when it comes to her, she is a cunning b*tch who only manipulate people who fell for her motherly affection and kind smile.

The people have turned their gear on, their minds creating various titles and making it more scandalous than it'll ever be. It was a CEO and a woman who will be sent into an asylum, and now, the man who is like the king in the business world marry a mentally-disabled girl.

How creative!

"Kings, show them"

With his words, the entire crowd became silent, only the documents showing that were married legally and the bright red color of the marriage certificate in their hands were blinding them. The office have already approved our marriage and thus, my parents almost went mad in anger.

"You un-filial daughter! How could you marry without our permission! How could you-" My father's hands almost slapped me in my face but it was caught with the strong hand of someone.

"I'm afraid your daughter is only mine.....and no one is allowed to hurt what's mine"

...

"If I didn't see you in your childhood days, I would definitely doubt if you as a lawyer. Look at this precise words and even the rules that should be followed and the repercussions in doing these"

With his hands on his chin, Ethan Kings looked at me like I was an alien into this planet.

"I would never think that the famous young master of the Kings Family would be like you" I said with a smile, but behind my words, it only lead do annoyance.

"Oho! Seems like our Nǚ lǎobǎn (Lady Boss) is quite the fierce one huh?" With his occasional teasing and his overly way of looking at Feng-ge was irritating me.

"Mr. Kings, I do advise you that I am tired, and now, I needed some rest"

Get out and don't even come here again.

"Oh? But it seems like you were full of energy to even fight-I mean have a few words with me"

Don't be a hypocrite and talk to me.

Eyes glaring daggers towards each other as we fought with our blade like words. The man sitting in front of us is looking, just sitting there with his majestic aura as if he was looking at his subjects arguing over a stupid thing.

"My dear~ I'm afraid I can't say more 'pleasantries' towards our guest. Would you mind leading him safely towards our hall" With only his cold eyes staring at my oh-so pitiful gaze.

Seconds have passed and it turned into a minute before he call for the head butler and point at Ethan Kings as if he was just a simple random bug in the house.

"Lǎobǎn (Boss) How could you do this to me?! I've been accompanying you for years! You almost became my Gēgē (Older brother) and now you would discard me because you acquired a new wife?! How could the world turn out like this I mean-"

"Get out Kings"

"Sir yes sir!" He said with a salute that made me burst into laughter but I held it back.

Looking at his withdrawing back, I turned my gaze towards the man who hold the contact in his hands. With his long legs and broad shoulders, the seat was almost swallowed by his huge figure. Eyes piercing you, making you unable to look away from his dark irises that seems to brighten up whenever the sun light shines on him.

"Looked enough?"

I nodded without hesitation, his eyes continued to look at me but I stared at him without fear. In terms if facing such an imposing man, the only thing you can do i to say the truth and never loom away because it means that you're lying.

"I agree to everything except the fact that you'll divorce me in a year"

My gaze narrowed down at his face, my hands clench behind me as I tried to take hold of the impulse to thwack his face with the broom. What did he think? Can marriage last for just 3 to 4 months? What would people think of me? How can he just-

"I'll decide whether we'll divorce.....or not"
