70 What If (1/2)
when han meixiu didn't answer, it was a give away. han mingxia inhaled deeply before she continued.
”as expected for someone who's living like a hermit.” the latter murmured to herself.
”i know they're a good family and that i am safe if i'm with them.”
”well, that's true. i was always present in parties back in our college days. i heard a lot about the liu family. their leisure business isn't just about for profit. it also involved a certain network that gathers extensive information. but i'm not sure if it's true. but if it's true, it would be our best option to ask assistance from your husband.”
”if it's not?”
”we need to think of another way. you have to remember, time is of the essence.”
”what if he asked why do i need to know?”
”then simply tell him the truth. why do you seem to be afraid?”
”it's not that i'm afraid, i just don't want him to burden with my circumstances. he already accepted me as his wife when he clearly couldn't get any benefit from it.”
”no benefit? are you sure about that? you didn't do anything together?”
”what do you mean?”
”you're husband and wife, do you really want me to spell it out? fine! s-e-x! you never did it?”
han meixiu was horrified and started to blush as she cursed her cousin. ”shut up! why do you have spell it out loud!”
”that's already a benefit he got! he was able to...” she couldn't finish her words as han meixiu covered her mouth forcefully.
”it's not considered as benefit! it's normal because were married!” she was starting to get furious.
”hey, i was married, too. we even dated for almost three years but the most intimate thing we did was holding hands!”
”yours was different!”
han mingxia suddenly turned quiet. those words hit the spot. yeah, her marriage was different. her so-called relationship was just a mission.
”sorry.” han meixiu realized that her words weren't appropriate. ”he could have taken advantage of you, but he didn't.” she said trying to console her cousin.
”maybe he's just professional. the mission was just to make me fall for him and eventually marry him.”
”still, he didn't force you.”
”yeah.” she softly agreed. he indeed didn't force her to marry him. it was her decision. ”meixiu, why did you marry second young master liu?” she only knew her cousin got married to that man from her uncle. the reason behind their marriage wasn't clear. when she said that he accepted her as his wife, it was as if she was begging to be part of the liu family.
”thanks to you.”
”me? what's that got to do with me?” she perplexedly asked.
