23 Improvised (2/2)

She paled at the thought. ”That is impossible…” Han Jie said in a whisper. Her face was laced with confusion.

”Tsk. It is not impossible. Him being outside is already proof of that.” Bai Min stated before releasing a deep breath. Then he continued with a whisper, ”What do you plan to do now?”

She shook her head in disbelief. Since she was already sporting a headache, Han Jie started massaging her forehead.

But what could she possibly do?

Her father would kill her if Han Jie tried anything stupid.

For once Han Jie was at a loss of what to do. She didn't always have a plan, but she always instinctively knew what to do. Now, she was stuck.

It was a big surprise that Suzuki Kyou was a part of the Suzuki family, her family was close to.

'Why have I never seen him before then? There was no mention of him being affiliated to the family in the magazines?' Han Jie thought to herself as she thought of a single possible reason why the marriage agreement was happening in the first place.

Jonah and Bai Min recognized the look on her face. They sighed warily, turned and smiled at each other.

”Jonah, can you step away for a moment. I just need to talk to Han Jie in the meantime… Ah, you don't need to go out of the room.” Bai Min said. He still wanted to ask something to her and Jonah stepping out would mean, people knowing that she was awake.

It was not that he did not trust Jonah. He was just not comfortable with him hearing what he was about to say.

Taking no offense, Jonah nodded his head and stood up from the chair to walk towards the door and leaned on it like a guard.

After clearing his throat, Bai Min whispered, ”Han Jie, are you going to let your sister marry him?”

”I can't allow it. They will both be miserable.” She replied sadly.

Then Bai Min added softly, after he glanced at Jonah to make sure he would not hear what he was about to say, ”Are you sure he is a closeted gay and not the type that swings both ways?”
