1 She Doesn't Want to Marry Him

"Dad, Mom, both of you are kidding me, right?" Su Xiao'ai furrowed her brows at her parents.

Su Zhiyi glared at Su Xiao'ai, exasperated. "Do you think we'd joke about something as serious as this?"

"Since you aren't joking about it, do you mean to say that you want to marry me off to an old man who's bringing along a child with him?"

Mrs. Su smiled and replied, "Xiao'ai, Master Jun isn't old. He's only 27 this year."

"Mom, I'm only 18, and he's 27! A generational gap occurs every three years, and we are nine years apart… That makes for an insurmountable gap. We won't be happily married, okay? Also, he has a six-year-old son with him. Are you expecting me to use up my youth and be a stepmother to him? Dad, Mom, it's the most difficult thing to be a stepmother." Su Xiao'ai tried her best to persuade her parents.

She was only 18 and was in her third year of high school. She hadn't even gone to university yet, and she hadn't had enough fun. She hadn't fallen in love yet either, so why did she have to marry so early?

Marriage was the graveyard of love! More than that, there was no love between her and Jun Wuwang.

"Xiao'ai, there are so many people in Yan City who want to marry someone like Master Jun. It's your good fortune that you're able to marry him." Mrs. Su gently tried to convince Su Xiao'ai.

Su Xiao'ai didn't care at all. "Whoever likes him can go ahead and marry him! My husband doesn't have to be too rich nor too handsome. All he has to do is to be good to me."

Even though Su Xiao'ai had never seen Jun Wuwang in person, she frequently came across him in magazines, newspapers, and even the news. He had a perpetually icy look on his face, and it was cold enough to freeze a person. Could a person like that pamper her and treat her well?

So what if he had both money and power?

Word had it that it was his ex-wife who had suggested the divorce. It must have been because of his cold demeanor that she wanted to divorce him!

It must be the case!

"Don't fool around." Su Zhiyi had run out of patience. With his face darkening, he gave an ultimatum: "No matter what, you will marry him."

Su Zhiyi was the head of the house—nobody could override him!

"Mom, look at Dad…" Su Xiao'ai looked at her mother bitterly, seeking help. But all Mrs. Su could do was to give a sigh of resignation.

If they had a say, they wouldn't want Su Xiao'ai to marry either… but now, there was no choice.

Su Xiao'ai just had to marry Jun Wuwang!

***

Su Xiao'ai argued with her parents for several days. She fussed around, gave up food, and even threatened suicide! But her parents, who had always pampered her, were now resolute in their decision. No matter how much Su Xiao'ai protested, they were determined not to relent!

They had to get Su Xiao'ai to marry Master Jun!

By this time, Su Xiao'ai finally understood that her parents were standing by their decision and that no amount of fussing was going to get her anywhere. Since she couldn't convince her parents, she decided… she was going to convince Jun Wuwang!

Whoever started the problem should end it!

Wearing her school uniform and carrying her school bag on her back, Su Xiao'ai stood in front of a building that was over 50 stories high. Raising her head to take in the building's height, she realized how small she was in comparison!

She had gotten wind that the building belonged to the Jun Corporation, and that Jun Wuwang's office was on the highest floor. The 58th floor!

Taking a deep breath, Su Xiao'ai mustered up her courage and walked into the building.
