“Not necessary. I won’t have a wedding ceremony. I just wanted to inform you that I’m getting married, that’s all.”

Qian Tao was surprised, but not because he didn’t want a wedding ceremony. If he insisted on marrying her without a wedding ceremony, she would totally agree! Rather, she was more surprised to know that the father and son relationship was tenser than what she had imagined.

***

Although his father said he would only stay for an hour, to Qian Tao, it seemed too long…

Too long because Li Hengzhi announced their marriage in the first five minutes and left.

Qian Tao chased after him and from the back, she asked, “Li Hengzhi! You said that you wanted to marry me. Is this spoken out of anger in front of your father or do you really want to marry me?”

Until now, she was still suspicious that the reason he wanted to marry her was to oppose his father.

However, she felt it was unlikely the case. After all, his father did not look like he was angry but instead, he even agreed?

Was it because he was satisfied with her family background?

Li Hengzhi stopped but did not answer her. He took out his hotel card and opened the door.

“So…goodnight!” Qian Tao added as she did not want to bring contempt toward herself when he did not answer her. When she was about to leave, her collar was caught from the back and she was dragged into the hotel room.

The door shut. Qian Tao was restless as if there was no place to stand and she didn’t feel right no matter where she stood.

Qian Tao could hear Li Hengzhi’s voice from a distance away. “Since I have told him that we are getting married, are you trying to humiliate me by leaving now?”

Qian Tao turned around and saw him walking toward the bathroom.

She walked in slowly and once again asked him a question, “Why me? You could have simply asked for the fifty million dollars to be returned or let me go to jail. Why did you choose to marry me?”

Just before the bathroom door was closed, out flew his words. “I can get my money back and you can go to jail, but how would I benefit from that? I’ll slowly settle the score of my first night with you.”
