1 On the way to Civil Affairs Bureau

It was raining heavily in the Capital today. The leaves blown by the wind fell into the puddles and swirled around, creating a beautiful picture. 

Song Jingren was in a black luxury car as it cruised down the wide roads in the capital city. 

It was a bustling city but today its liveliness was drowned in the heavy rainfall. 

Like the weather, his mood was gloomy too.  His special assistant who was driving the car was occasionally wiping the sweat off his forehead. 

"President Song, General Song just called–" Special Assistant Lu opened his mouth to pass a message but as he saw a glimpse of fury in his boss's sharp eyes, he swallowed the words back. He wanted to live a long life with his wives and kids and today wasn't the day to abandon worldlessness.  

To ease the atmosphere of the car, the special assistant put on the radio. Thankfully, his boss enjoyed good taste in music or else he didn't know what to do. However, no matter which station he chose today, each one was showing the same news. What a shitty day he had!

"Famous Weapon designer Z was arrested by the North Korean Army last night in the capital!"

"The world is free of the terror of Z!"

"No more terror of Z in gun deals!"

"The fall of European weapon designer Z!"

"President, the world is a safe place again," Special Assistant Lu said as he looked into the mirror but he was welcomed by the ever-so-blank face of his boss again. His boss had no care about world peace but as a responsible global citizen, he was happy that an internationally criminal like Z who had terrorised governments all over the world by selling dangerous and lethal weapons to terrorists and similar organisations was finally caught. 

The journey in the luxury car was exceptionally fast today. Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of a multi-storey red-coloured building. Even the heavy pouring couldn't stop the enthusiasm of people wanting to get married. 

Song Jingren snorted inwardly. What was so good about getting married? Wasn't marriage the tomb of good mental health? 

"President, Miss Shi had texted that she had reached the Civil Affairs Bureau, "Special Assistant Lu asked. He paused for a moment and then asked again, "Are you sure Miss Shi is one?" 

Song Jingren coolly glanced at him. "I gave you the portfolio and you chose Miss Shi. What's wrong with her? If there is something wrong with her, you will be held accountable for that."

Special Assistant Song, who was now completely ready to denounce worldness, gaped at his boss! 

It was President Song getting married, not him! 

"Also, wasn't she one of the girls specially chosen by my mother?" Song Jingren asked after a while. He remembered that his mother had chosen twenty-plus girls all across the world for him to choose one. In the end, he threw the file at his Assistant and asked the latter to choose one. 

Wasn't selecting a wife as easy as selecting a cabbage? 

"General Song wouldn't be happy if he gets to know that you are making such a big decision in your life like this, "Special Assistant Lu said in a worried tone. It was as if he was fully aware of the thoughts reflecting in his boss's mind. 

Song Jingren inwardly sneered. Who was the one that announced that if he didn't get married before his thirtieth birthday, he would be disowned by his own grandfather? It wasn't like he minded being disowned by his grandfather but his parents would be hurt and for some reason, his parents were siding with his grandfather this time. 

Since all of them were so eager to throw him into the ditch of marriage, then what options did he have?

To get a wife, what else!

He had always been a rebel and now he was getting tired of always rebelling against his own family. 

His Song family had deep roots in the military. His grandfather retired as the General in the military and his father was the current general of the Army. He was the golden child of his family but he broke their hearts when he chose business school over the military Academy. All his cousins were serving at high ranks in defence sectors but he was that oddball that chose the business world. 

Today, he was the CEO of a fortune-500 company and his net worth speaks aloud for his hard work. 

Everything was perfect about his life. 

Except for his romantic life. 

Special Assistant Lu opened the door for Song Jingren while holding an umbrella and the latter got out of the car.

The wind was cold, and as it blew towards him, Song Jingren realised the big turn his life had taken. He was going to marry an unknown woman for his family's sake and for some reason he felt nothing. No regret, no happiness, just nothingness. He paused for a moment before taking a step ahead and closing his eyes only to have a pair of devilish forest green eyes haunting him again. 

Not today, he muttered. 

He wasn't going to let that woman spoil his future once again. 

With resolution, he took a step forward and with quick strides, he reached the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau. 

He was getting married to Miss Shi. That's it. There was no place for someone who left without even bothering to say goodbye.
