Chapter 23 - Engagement day 1

After they got her things from the hotel

San Yi Han dropped her off at the airport.

Wan Mo thanked him, her flight leaves in an hour, she just wanted to settle in and have a nap.

San Yi Han stopped her.

"Wan wan, when we talk, it's okay not to be the Qin's young mistress, but Wan Mo himself".

Wan Mo looked at him, after what felt like minutes, he gave a smile, not cheerful or happy, just.. there, a bit sad.

"Okay, then see you later, and thank you."

San Yi Han's heart melted, he had a full blown grin as he turned to leave as well.

Wan Mo got to his seat, ready to sleep.

Wan Mo: it's great to use someone else's money to ship your car isn't it?!

Her mind system: weren't you emotional just now!?!

Wan Mo: shut up!

She fell asleep and woke up a few minutes to when the Aeroplane was supposed to land.

She dragged her luggage along with her and stopped short when she saw her grandparents waiting for her, She smiled and flew into their hands, they were very happy, their eyes were making crescents. She pushed all guilty emotion aside and enjoyed this love thrown at her.

When she got home, she had a visitor, her face almost fell, but she maintained the smile.

" Jiuran.. you're here" her voice was so soft, your heart could shake, Jiuran returned her smile.

"I am sorry, I couldn't wait for you at the airport, I was on my way but I was told grandpa and grandma had picked you up already". Jiuran said, his smile barely reaching his eyes.

"Mmh there's no need to stress yourself Jiuran-ge". Wan Mo kept the box on her table.

And faced his stare, somehow she was tired of pretending, she wanted Jiuran to know she hates him, she put on an air of deviance.

Her mind system: I know you don't like him, but just put up with him, we'd soon leave this whole drama.

Wan Mo: I know, he's just annoying, monitoring me wherever I go! Doesn't he have a better job?! I've never seen a young master with so much free time, the Han family should step up their game!. This young master of theirs is too free. Doesn't he have an engagement party to attend tomorrow?

"Say...why is Jiuran-ge here?" She raised her eyes slightly, questioning him.

"To check up on you, hope the trip wasn't stressful?" Jiuran asked with no concern in his voice.

"I'm clearly fine, and.. I would like to rest, I'm a bit tired, see you... Tomorrow" she blushed slightly with a happy smile.

"Okay, you, rest well" he returned the smile and left.

Wan Mo locked her room door and sighed, she just collapsed on her bed. "He is suspecting me. There's no doubt about it, if that bastard just did something called 'mind your business', then everything would be fine!" .

She just turned off her phone because of the piling congratulatory messages.

Tsk!

Then she fell asleep, woke up by 8pm and took her bath. She sat on a chair opposite the dressing table and looked at her reflection.

Deep down, somewhere in her heart she hated everything that was going on. She dreaded this stupid engagement!.

Of course her greedy mom won't do anything.

What can that pig, Meng Qi even do? Only receive praises from and scheme against others, full her stores with gifts that are not supposed to be hers.

Wan Mo was stressed, when her stupid Mom thought of this did she even think of her? The simple answer was No!, how would she get out of this without being scathed?? The stupid plan was to pose as a girl till inheritance, what next? Meng Qi never answered that question.

Will Meng Qi really let him marry that Jiuran?

No... She must have a plan.

Because marriage with Jiuran cannot happen,it can't work out.

She put on her pajamas and went to bed; the next day came too quickly as if expecting drama.

Wan Mo bathed and creamed her body, intentionally wasting time, she put on the purple dress. She did her makeup herself and stood up to answer the door; her mother and Hé honghua came in. Meng Qi sneered.

"Are you sure you're not a girl??" She asked with annoyance.

"Didn't you push me out of your womb yourself? You don't know what you gave birth to?" Wan Mo answered.

Meng Qi was livid, she pointed at wan Mo, unable to retort. "You..".

Hé honghua raised her hands "don't you dare talk to Meng jie jie like that"

"You're used to raising your hands, I'll soon make you handicapped" Wan Mo replied.

Hé honghua face turned dark, ink could drop from it, she was angry but she couldn't do anything. Wan Mo was strong, like a mercenary.

Wan Mo could actually beat her up.

Meng Qi cleared her throat in irritation.

"Smile and be pretty for everyone, don't misbehave tod-"

Wan Mo cut her short "After this engagement then what? You're not actually planning on playing dumb are you?".

Meng Qi was angry, she clenched her fists "why can't you just be a girl! Must you be so useless all the time!".

"You've not answered me, you know how bad it will be if your tiny secret is revealed, I don't need to remind you." Wan Mo deadpanned.

"Just hold out a little more longer. We'll fix this" Meng Qi replied.

"How?" Wan Mo looked at the woman in front of her.

"That's none of your business! Just play your part, at least 2 years and a solution will come up! Don't annoy me" Meng Qi said.

A knock was heard on the door. Wan Mo looked towards the door, and let out a breath. "Come in".

Jiuran came in and looked at the trio before smiling and greeting them.
