24 Taking Advantage (1/2)

While glaring at him like she was offended, ”Are you insulting my gaydar ability?” She asked before removing the bloody cotton balls from her nose and placing them on the bedside table.

Han Jie released a heavy sigh before she laid back on the bed. ”This is a very complicated situation.”

”Yes, it is. However, this gaydar of yours is not really that dependable. What if he was straight all along and you were just hallucinating?” Bai Min clarified.

He knew Han Jie for a while now and because of that, Bai Min was very aware that she has the tendency to fantasize to the point that it was hard to distinguish or believe if what she was talking about was reality or a part of her made up stories.

With a scoff, ”Hmph! You know I saw him going out from one of the bars okay. Have you forgotten?” Han Jie stated with confidence. It was a couple of years ago and her mother was still alive at that time.

It was also the time she was still confused about what to do with her life when she saw him in a very entertaining life. However, her thoughts of the past were halted when Bai Min interrupted her reminisces.

”What if-”

”Let me break it down to you. He does not have any rumored girlfriend. No dating scandal or whatsoever. There is a conspiracy going on here. If you ask me, he is probably being pressured by his family to get married. He is what? Almost forty right?” Han Jie tried to explain things logically.

The more she did, the more she was convinced that Suzuki Kyou was a secret gay who has no choice but to follow his family's wishes and get married.

Bai Min hummed, ”That makes sense if his family has your father's mindset and is also into this arranged marriage thing.” For him, Suzuki Kyou was quite a private person and reserved as well. He was even surprised that it was not just a coincidence that he had the same 'Suzuki' last night with the powerful clan in Country J.

From Han Jie's stories and some articles that he had read before, the clan's power was widespread in the country. That would be both in business and politics. It was also known that the citizens of Country J respected and retained their traditions.

The fact alone that the arranged marriage was being discussed, between someone from Country J's powerful family and a foreigner, was already a huge thing.

Bai Min also thought that something was going on that even Han Jie was not aware of. This was a marriage conspiracy indeed.

Then Han Jie continued, ”He was also the type that magazines call metrosexual kind of guy. You know the one that is worse than you for being vain?”
