Chapter 3: Officially Married

LIU FAMILY MANSION

Liu Hua gently strode inside the mansion but he wasn't able to enter as his mother block the path. Liu Hua could only roll his eyes. Mu Roulan didn't have his time as she was looking for something. She even pushed him to the side still searching. After a while, she frowned.

"Hua, where's my daughter in law?"

Liu Hua just stood there quietly.

"Did she not accept your proposal?"

Still no response.

"Hua, I'm talking to you. Where's my daughter in law?! " Mu Roulan raised a tone lightly.

She didn't have time to waste. She just wanted to see her daughter in law but her unruly son won't even spare her a glance.

There was a visible frown on her face.

"Hua, answer me! Where's Bai Fenxi?!"

"Mom, she hasn't signed it yet", Liu Hua couldn't help but answer.

All Mu Roulan dreams of meeting her daughter in law were shattered into pieces by this rascal of a son.

"What do you mean she hasn't signed it?! Hua, what did you tell her that made her not to sign it?!"

Liu Hua just shrugged his shoulder.

Mu Roulan scoffed.

"Listen to me Hua, if this is another plan of yours to marry that slut then forget it! If Bai Fenxi doesn't sign that contract by tomorrow, you can just forget about getting married!"

Liu Hua couldn't understand why his mother hated Fang Mengran with passion. He and Fang Mengran had been childhood sweethearts that everyone adored well except from his mother and grandfather. Yes, grandfather Liu disliked Fang Mengran. He felt that she lacked manners and upbringing.

"Mom, why can't I get married to Mengran?!" Liu Hua couldn't help but ask.

"You want to get married to that wench after what she had to you. Poor Bai Fenxi wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for her. She drugged you", Mu Roulan said in annoyance, "That's not even the point here. You have to take responsibility for your actions.That girl is pregnant now so you have to marry her", She declared.

Not long, a sweet, young voice called out to Liu Hua.

"Hua, you're back", Fang Mengran walked out with a smile as she stared at Liu Hua.

Mu Roulan rolled her eyes with disdain.

Liu Hua's gazed softened just by seeing Mengran.

"You're back so late. You must be tired and hungry. Go and freshen up. I'll tell Auntie Shen to prepare something for you", Mengran leaned on Li Hua's embrace.

"Liu Hua, I don't have anything else to say. You must marry that girl by tomorrow and put some people in their place", She eyed Mengran before leaving.

"... "

"Hua, what does your mother mean by marriage? Has she agreed to our relationship?" Mengran asked in a soft tone.

Liu Hua gently patted her head.

"Don't worry about it, Mengran. I'll deal with it", Liu Hua assured her.

She gently nodded.

Later that night at Bai Villa,

Bai Fen went to see Fenxi in her room.

Fenxi was busy with her songs when she caught glimpse of her mother leaning on her door, smiling.

"Hey mom!"

"What were you doing?"

"Just working on some of my songs".

"Xi'er, I have something to discuss with yo... "

Fenxi cut in

"If it's about my sudden marriage, I'm so sorry mom. I'm sorry that I didn't tell you", Fenxi apologized.

"I am a little upset about that at the same time happy. I already knew this day will come".

Bai Fenxi still did not get it.

"I was relayed a message by a fortune teller. She had already predicted the future and she told me you were going to bring a man home claiming he is your husband. She was right".

Her mom had finally lost it.

A fortune teller?!

Really?!

She still believed in those shenanigans.

Bai Fenxi could only force a smile.

"But tell me Xi'er, do you love him?"

Bai Fenxi was short of words.

How could she tell her mom that she was forced into a loveless marriage because of her mistakes?

She had to cover up her lies with more lies.

"Yes mom, I love him so much".

"Well I can't deny that when you're already pregnant and you're married", Bai Fen chuckled.

Bai Fenxi laughed nervously.

"That's not why I'm here tho. I want to discuss with you about Qin Li and Han Yingpei".

Fenxi face darkened.

She felt disgusted when she heard their names.

"Xi'er, did Qin Li and Han Yingpei offend you? Ever since you came, you've been giving them the cold shoulder".

"Mom it's nothing. I just wasn't in the mood to talk to them. Also, they didn't tell me they were coming and it pissed me off".

Fenxi didn't want to involve her mom in whatever problem she had with Qin Li and Han Yingpei.

***

The next morning, Fenxi had gotten to Liu Corps as early as Liu Hua could have ever imagine but she had to wait for him. He was in a meeting when she arrived.

Fenxi clenched her skirt tightly. She was so nervous that she started to regret her decision. It was too late now.

'Calm your nerves, Fenxi!'

'Everything will be fine as long as you don't mess up'

'For you and the baby'

'For your mother'

"Miss Bai" a cold yet distant voice broke into her train of thoughts.

Liu Hua had been standing there for over 1 minute, observing her. He knew she was nervous but what could he do. He also didn't want this but his mother had threatened to harm Mengran if he doesn't marry Fenxi.

"I'm here!" She hurriedly stood up.

"You look nervous already when you haven't even signed the contract", He chuckled coldly, "Xiu Min, hand the contract over to her to sign".

The contract was handed over to her.

Without wasting more time, Fenxi signed.

The contract states that she was married but Mu Roulan won't believe it except they get their marriage certificates.

"Miss Bai, I hope you abide by the rules of the contract", Xiu Min said as he closed the folder.

Without sparing her a glance, "Xiu Min go and start the car. We are going to the Civil Affairs Bureau".
