The ceremony was over and everyone have already left.
Zhi'er got inside the car, though she knows nothing about cars but she can tell it's very expensive. She look around in awe occasionally touching things, if the guest saw her right now, they would have been dumbfounded .
Is she not the one who was crying her eyes out just a few hours ago?
Nah , she doesn't look like someone who cried a few hours ago but instead was looking around in awe.
Seeing her reaction, Ares massage his forehead in frustration.
"Wow , Mr.Lu you're so reach that even your car is prettier than my house"
< "If you call me Mr.Lu again I'll deduct it from your place " he said coldly not even giving her a glance.
"You don't mean it, do you " she ask panicking, but the look she receive , tells her he indeed will.
"Then.. then how may I address you"she ask, careful not to offend this living Yama, if she gets him angry, then she can kiss her money goodbye .
< " Husband "
" par.. pardon " she ask, just to make sure her ears weren't deceiving her.
< " do I need to repeat myself, from now on you calls me husband "
" but the contract stated that, party B can only address party A as Mr. Lu and nothing else " she said ,she was confused, she wasn't even the one who set the conditions.
< " oh, I don't remember " he said flatly, not even sparing her a glance.
You beam and reach behind as you pull out some files, seeing this he was left speechless.
" Don't worry, I have the contact right here"you grin as you show him the contract.
< "I've changed my mind, from now on you're only allowed to call me husband"
"No way, this is just a contract marriage, there's no way I'm going to call you that" you said pouting, clearly there's no way you're going to call him husband, the word itself sounds foreign in your ears let alone pronouncing it .
< "1 million.." you didn't even bulge "2 million..5 million, forget it, since you don't want it then..." you cut him off after hearing the amount, if you can make 5 million from just calling him husband, why not after all you're the one who's gonna benefit, calling him husband is just a piece of cake . You shift towards him and hold his arm.
" Ofcuz I'll do, husband, from now on I'll call you husband" he nodded, clearly pleased with himself, meanwhile you're already calculating how much money you have now .
--------
After an hour of driving the car finally came to a stop, you stretch your stiff body after stepping out of the car complaining.
"Why's your house so far my back is already stiff from sitting so long, this..." you stopped mid-sentence, and your eyes started tearing up. Seeing this he was puzzle to what have triggered your never ending tears.
< " Why are you crying, are you hurt" he asked making you shake your head,"then what with this tears"
" It's just ... it's just, your house is so huge, Mr. L.... husband can I not stay here, if I get inside I'll be lost within 5 minutes " as she turns to look at the person besides her, she freezes , the cold stare she was receiving, she doesn't need to be a genius to understand, " haha now that I think of it, I want to stay here" she game a nervous laugh as she wipes away the fallen tears.
She followed Ares inside like a lost puppy, looking at the living room in awe, how can someone be so rich, even if she work for a life, there's no way she can't afford to buy the car let alone this huge mansion .
Inside stood a man in his 40s, from his attire he seems to be a butler, behind him stood at least 10 lined perfectly in two, like their going for a parade.
< " Welcome back master, young miss" the butler said bowing his head which the maids followed his gesture. Zhi'er who was busy appreciating his surrounding was so startled by the voice that, for a moment her soul left her body, she quickly hide behind Ares back letting out a shaky breath.
The butler, seeing Zhi'er so close to tears started panicking.
< " what do you think you're doing hiding behind my back" Ares asked irritated, realizing what she has done, she quickly stepped away.
"Sorry I was startled" why's his voice so cold, for a moment I thought I was talking to death, this man changes personality faster than a camilon. Even if they're married and he has shown her some warm, she still needs to be careful, after all we're talking about a living Yama here.
< " the maids will show you your room, settled in cuz you'll be staying here for a long time " with that Ares walked away before she could even ask a question, not even bothering to look at her.
What does he even mean by a long time?, shrug it off.
She followed the maid as she leads her upstairs, sigh guess this is my home for now
HOME.
What a strange word to call this place.
