1 My Future Wife

Inside the luxurious hotel room, Arthur was typing some complicated weird codes in the lightning speed. His light blue eyes seemed to shine bright in the dark room. Suddenly, the ear-piercing phone sound disturbed him from his concentration. He stopped typing and picked up his phone.

"Hello?" He answered with a displeased tone.

"I sent the file to your e-mail about the woman you asked me to investigate. Her name's Li Min, right? She's very beautiful. Are you going to marry her?"

"Maybe."

"Isn't it just a marriage for benefits between your family and the Rochesta? You're too picky! If I were you, I'll choose her as my wife. She's better than those two spoiled girls from the Rochesta."

Arthur seemed to ignore what a person on the call said completely, as he kept reading the file about Li Min.

"It seemed like she never contacts with the Rochesta before."

"That's because her mother cut all ties with the Rochesta and got married to Li Qiang. I can't find anything about that incident. There must be something about this matter."

Arthur frowned when he heard that.

"Arthur, are you planning to meet her? She's in London now."

"Not yet. I'll go to China. The organization had a plan to open a new branch there."

"You should be careful of the Lu family. They're the most powerful there. The Li and Yang family might join hand to destroy you too if they know about this."

"Let them. I'd like to try."

"By the way, Li Min seems to be a naïve and innocent type. She never goes out with anyone. Seriously? Is she traditional?" Arthur laughed at his friend's word.

"She's not. Her brother is the one who left the scar on my chest. She might be as vicious as him." Arthur smirked. His eyes become cold.

"So, that's how you got that scar. I still wonder who dared to hurt and make you stay in the hospital for a whole month."

"He'll pay for what he did. You keep an eye on Li Min. I need to do something before going to China." Then, Arthur cut the call.

'Li Min, just wait for me. We'll meet soon, my future wife.'

At Li Min's penthouse in London, Li Min was comfortably having a bubble bath. She'd been living here for many years. Now it was time to go back home. Li Min took a phone beside her to call someone. When a man picked up her call, she smiled widely.

"It's me, big brother. I'll arrive in China tomorrow morning. Please come and pick me up at the airport."

"Why don't you take your private jet and call the driver to pick you up? I have an important meeting tomorrow."

"I don't want to. See you tomorrow, big brother."

"Fine. Whatever." Her brother hung up.

Li Min chuckled and made another phone call.

"Who's the hell calling me in the early morning?"

"Hey, take it easy. It's me. Xiao Min."

"Ah. My Min-min! What's up?"

"I'll go back to China. Just call to let you know."

"What? I thought you'll attend my pool party next week. I even prepare some hot guys for you. This time I'm sure you'll definitely get a boyfriend."

"Sorry, Xiyue. Maybe next time." Li Min sighed, ignoring her friend's goodwill.

"Hmh! Keep your promise this time."

Li Min laughed at her best friend before she hung up. Yang Xiyue and Li Min had known each other since they were in kindergarten. Their family, the Li and the Yang, are very close. Unlike her, Yang Xiyue was straightforward and hot-tempered. Xiyue would confront her enemies and slap them in their face rather than plot revenge's plan behind their back. Even though Xiyue was infamous about her bad-tempered trait, she was a popular supermodel.

Li Min sipped her tea in the living room and closed her eyes. Thinking about her family, Li Min really missed her father and brothers. Then, she knitted her eyebrows.

'Will father set up some blind dates for her the moment she gets back?'

She was 24 years old now. Still, she never brought any men to introduce to her father. Her father might try to find a man for her due to that reason. She sighed and thought, can't I just be single for the rest of my life? Men are trash.

Born in a warm and rich family, Li Min was a lucky girl because she neither had jealous cousins nor wicked stepmother. Her father was a family man who cared for his children the most and was honest to her mother. However, this didn't mean Li Min's life was going to be peaceful like this forever. At least, she was once involved with some underground's organization. That was why she knew better than anyone how life was treasured.
