Truth Behind The Engagement

In the guest room.

Li Xiuying looked between Madame Qin and little 4th.

Li Xiuying: "I have things I need to do, I'm not going out for fun."

Little 4th: "Big sister YingYing please let me come with you." He tried his best to look as cute as possible.

Madame Qin: "It will be a little outing for Little 4th and I'll come as a guard to make sure you're both safe."

Li Xiuying "..."

Li Xiuying sighed as she rubbed her temples and closed her eyes.

Li Xiuying: "Fine get ready in 20 minutes."

Madame Qin picked up little 4th and skipped away happily.

Li Xiuying put on her rucksack and went to wait in the foyer.

20 minutes later Madame Qin and Little 4th appeared before Li Xiuying.

Li Xiuying could hardly recognize Madame Qin, she no longer wore elegant clothes instead she wore plain clothes that any working class auntie would wear. The way she did her makeup made her look at least a decade older.

The little bun wore a navy blue jumper with a baby blue shirt underneath. He wore dark colored jeans and a pair of trainers. Little 4th looked utterly adorable. Anyone would want to pinch his little jade-like face.

Madame Qin: "Let's go dear."

Li Xiuying followed Madame Qin outside, delibaretly slowing her steps so as not to strain the bun. The little bun stuck close to Li Xiuying's side being careful not to touch her.

They got into the car which was waiting for them outside.

Li Xiuying sat down and gazed out the window. 'It was finally time to get her finances in order.'

....

In the car heading to Qin enterprises.

Qin Xian Jun: "Bro why are you marrying that Zhou FengMian? She's such a..."

Qin Song interrupted: "It's not up for discussion."

Qin Xian Jun: "But Bro anyone can see you don't even like her. Why are you putting yourself through this?"

Qin Song: "Qin Xian Jun enough."

Qin Song only called them by their full names when he was really angry.

Qin Xian Jun crossed his arms across his chest and sulked in his seat.

Qin Song pretended he was reading through the contract in his hand. He clenched the papers. 'Does everyone actually think I want to marry Zhou FengMian?'

Qin Song couldn't even stand being in the same building as Zhou FengMian let alone having her cling to him like a koala in heat. She was always trying to 'claim him' in front of everyone.

Qin Song started thinking back to the day that the unholy existence that is Zhou FengMian changed his life.

It had happened two years ago.

The two older Qin brothers were attending a party held in the Luxury hotel.

It was a party to celebrate Zhou FengMian's return back from the US. She had completed her masters in business and would now be working for her Father's company.

The older generation all ended up leaving early. The alcohol was flowing and everyone was having a good time. The hall was booked for them as well as some of the rooms in the surrounding area.

Qin Song was standing in the en-suite bathroom of one of the rooms. He looked at himself in the mirror and sighed.

He was exhausted and bored with all these fake people approaching him. Most people here just saw him as a walking dollar sign and their ticket into the upper echelons of society.

If his friends weren't here to help him rebuff some of these people he would have probably left hours ago.

Qin Song ran his hand through his hair and sighed again. He left the bathroom to go find his brother so they could leave. It was finally 1 am. He had paid his dues.

As he entered the hallway he bumped into He Minzhe.

Qin Song: "Minzhe have you seen Jie?"

He Minzhe: "Are you leaving? Can I tag along? I've had too much to drink and don't want to risk driving."

Qin Song: "Fine. Help me look for Jie and then we can leave. Meet back here."

He Minzhe and Qin Song set off.

Qin Song looked for 30 minutes and couldn't find Qin Jie anywhere. He had an ominous feeling. He returned to the meeting place hoping that He Minzhe had better luck.

He Minzhe and Shen Qiu rushed towards Qin Song.

Shen Qiu: "Song, I've heard that Jie went to go rest in one of the rooms. We need to find him quickly."

All three of them were worried. You should never leave yourself vulnerable in these social gathering's. Everyone at the party was just waiting to sink their fangs into there families.

The He, Shen and Qin's empires were three of the largest conglomerates in the country. As the future heirs, people wanted to build connections with them in away possible. Both women and men had tried a varied range of tactics to get to them which included but were not limited to sexual entrapment, abduction, blackmail, planning hostile takeovers, the list was endless.

Alarm bells were ringing in Qin Song's mind.

They started opening the doors to the various rooms, people were too drunk and tired to even bother locking them.

Some of the rooms were empty, some of them had people getting intimate, some of the rooms had people just sleeping but none of the rooms they had searched so far had Qin Jie.

All three of them stood in front of a single door. Room 128. This was the last room. They all held their breath in trepidation, things were not looking good.

Qin Song slowly pushed the door open. The room lights were dimmed and there was a weird smell in the air.

Shen Qiu whispered: "Aphrodisiac incense."

All three of them cautiously stepped towards the bedroom door which was slightly ajar.

Qin Song's heart was in his throat. He slowly pushed the door open. On the bed, there were two naked bodies. A man and a woman. A naked Qin Jie and a naked woman. The sheets were messy, there was a smell of intimacy in the air.

He Minzhe cursed under his breath: "F@$%"

'Qin Jie is only a 20-year-old kid he hasn't even got to experience anything in life yet. If he slept with anyone at this sort of gathering they would force him to marry them.'

Shen Qiu walked over to the woman, he took out a handkerchief from his pocket and folded it. He used this to move some of the hair from the woman's face.

Shen Qiu: "F@$%"

Both Qin Song and He Minzhe went to look at the woman's face. It was Zhou FengMian. Her family had enough of a name and enough power to make the Qin family uncomfortable.

Qin Song: "F@$%."

Zhou FengMian must have sensed something touched her face. She used her hand to brush it away and then turned to lay on her side.

When she turned on her side they all sucked in a breath. There was a small amount of blood on the sheets. Qin Jie had taken her virginity.

Qin Song started taking off his tie and jacket.

Qin Song: "Minzhe, Qiu get Jie dressed and take him home."

Shen Qiu whispered: "Song what are you doing right now? Let's all just leave. We'll think of something later. You aren't thinking clearly right now, don't sacrafice yourself. There's clearly something wrong with this."

Qin Song's tone left no room or discussion: "Go now." He took off his shirt.

He Minzhe and Shen Qiu found some of Qin Jie's clothes and started dressing him. He Minzhe carried Qin Jie out on his back, with Chen Qui on his heels acting like a guard.

Qin Song stripped down to his boxer's and socks and replaced Qin Jie's place on the bed.

He thought to himself 'I know there's something more to this.'

Qin Song clearly knew that something wasn't right with this picture. There were many unanswered questions swirling around his mind: 'Why was there aphrodisiac incense in this room? Why Did Zhou FengMian leave her own party early? Why did Zhou FengMian decide to rest in a random hotel room instead of her penthouse suite? Why did she walk all the way to Qin Jie's room which was the furthest from the hall?'

Qin Song had a small malicious grin on his face 'Zhou FengMian you don't even know who you're playing with'

Zhou FengMian opened her eyes and stared at the muscled back of Qin Song. She smiled to herself.

Qin Song is finally mine.

...

Chauffeur politely said: "Master Qin we've arrived."

Qin Song returned from his memories "Where's Jun?"

Chauffeur: "Well 3rd master ... he left already he appeared to be erm well..."

Qin Song: "Sulking." He gave a small smile. Qin Xian Jun always sulked when he was unhappy. He had this habit since he was a child. Anytime things didn't go the way he wanted he would sulk. He once sulked so long he had to get acupuncture because he strained his facial muscles.

Chauffeur: "Yes sulking."

Qin Song stepped out of the car and headed for his office. He sighed: "This is going to be a long day."
