Chapter 5 - 5: Let’s Leave Them For Awhile (1/2)

'Future....wife?' Lillie Bai couldn't believe her ears. Did this hateful man just call her his future wife?

Lillie Bai was already upset about this 'arranged marriage' to what more is that she'll marry the man whom she despise.

Containing her unpleasant feelings, she calmly put her phone back to her face and tapped the 'send' button. It was a contract that she send to her lawyer. A contract which stated her rules and conditions for this 'unfortunate' marriage.

She will have it finalized and have her 'fiancee' sign it, whether he likes it or not.

”Good evening, Mr Li.” Lillie refuse to acknowledge this man by his name.

”Oh please, call me Ethan. Mr Li sounds like you're talking to my father.” Ethan insisted.

Lillie simply ignored him and averted her attention to Ethan's father.

”It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Senior Li and Madam Li. I am Lilliana Theodora Bai, simply call me Lillie.” Lillie said in a business like tone, it's as if she's talking to a client or a business partner.

Senior Li simply laughed and shook hands with her. ”If it isn't the guest of honor. My, how you've grown into a very fine lady. I'm Li Ye Feng and this is my lovely wife,”

”Han Ru Shi. And please, call me mother. We'll all be family soon, after all.” Mrs Li gently smiled. Lillie nodded, but mentally she disagree.

”Alex, my friend!” Mr Li heartily exclaimed and gave his friend, Mr Bai and big hug.

”Oof! Ye Feng, my good friend! It's been ages!” Mr Bai accepted the hug and gave him a good pat on the back.

”Indeed, the last time I saw you was back in our college years but then suddenly transferred into another school and country. And as I can see, you've met your lovely wife there.” He conversed.

”Oh yes, although parting with you was sad, meeting her was the most happiest day of my life.” Mr Bai gently said with a smile before wrapping his arm around his wife.

Mrs Bai smiled. ”Good evening, I'm Agathe Crevier Bai, it's a pleasure to finally meet you.” She gracefully greeted, her French accent was beautifully emphasized.

”The pleasure is all mine, Madam. And please, no need for formalities, you can call me Ye Feng.” He took her hand and kissed it with a debonair smile.

”Ahem!” Mrs Li glared at his husband's shamelessness.

”Oh! Don't think too much, my dear. I was just doing it for their custom.” He nervously explained. Mrs Li rolled her eyes and warmly smiled at the French woman.

”Lastly, this in my youngest and only son.” Mr Bai said, pointing at the teenage boy, his black hair almost covered his blue eyes as he played with his tablet the whole time.

Mr Bai's face turned cold and lightly narrowed his eyes. ”Ahem!” He coughed to get his attention.

With irritation dripping from his eyes, he clicked him tongue. ”Gabriel.” He shortly replied before turning his gaze back at his tablet.

Mr and Mrs Bai sighed. ”Please excuse my son's rude behavior.” Mr Bai apologized.

Mr Li seem to mind and waved his hands. ”No, no, it's fine. You know how youngsters are today. And also, we've been there haven't we?” He winked.

”Oh! By the way, this is my only daughter. Sweetie would you like to introduce yourself?” Senior Li looked behind him and saw his precious daughter. A bubbly girl, excitedly went in front.
