In the hospital where w.a.n.g Hao was confined...
s.h.i.+ Enxi was carrying a plastic of fruits as she stood in front of w.a.n.g Hao"s room. The two guards standing beside the door was looking at her.
s.h.i.+ Enxi smiled at them. "I came to visit my uncle."
The two guards knew who s.h.i.+ Enxi was but they didn"t know who Lu Mello was. Only family members and w.a.n.g Hao"s personal doctor were the ones allowed in the room so they can"t just let anyone in.
"This is my husband, Lu Mello. Surely you"ll allow him to go inside, right?
Lu Mello? They were not familiar with that name, they only know the family name Lu.
Lu was not a rare family name but there was one family that was well-known in the country. As they looked at Lu Mello, he has a serious look on his face and somehow, they felt like they saw him somewhere.
Lu Mello was not known in the business world yet since he just entered it an took over his family business recently. He liked having a low profile as well so he didn"t go out in public with his family. Aside from that, he was working as a detective so he was busy dealing with different kinds of cases.
He resembled someone. Who was it?
Meanwhile, despite the blank look in Lu Mello"s face at that moment, he was celebrating inside since s.h.i.+ Enxi was introducing him as her husband to everyone! Good! Good! Their relations.h.i.+p was getting better!
Maybe he should buy her a few more limited edition bags later as a reward for being a good wife?
s.h.i.+ Enxi cleared her throat, "Can my husband come in? We came here to visit my uncle after all."
"Alright."
One of the guards opened the door for them.
She smiled at them and thanked them before they entered.
s.h.i.+ Anhao was sitting on the chair beside her husband"s bedside and their two daughters were present as well.
"h.e.l.lo, Auntie, uncle, cousins." s.h.i.+ Enxi greeted softly.
Everyone turned to her.
s.h.i.+ Anhao was supposed to say something to s.h.i.+ Enxi the moment she saw her but when she saw someone with her, she rolled back her tongue. Instead, she smiled at them, "Ah, Xiao Xi, it"s nice for you to come and finally visit us."
s.h.i.+ Enxi scoffed inside when she saw how fast s.h.i.+ Anhao covered her displeasure.
"I"m sorry if I haven"t been visiting you lately. My brother is a strict person when it comes to working." She lied with a small smile.
This was the second time that s.h.i.+ Enxi was visiting w.a.n.g Hao. The first was when he was brought to the hospital after his accident.
s.h.i.+ Nansheng sneered at s.h.i.+ Enxi. After what happened the last time they met, she was not going to be fooled by this pretentious b.i.t.c.h.
s.h.i.+ Enxi wasn"t worried about what s.h.i.+ Nansheng at that moment. With s.h.i.+ Ansheng"s pride, why would she tell others that she was beaten up by a weak looking s.h.i.+ Enxi?
"That"s understandable." s.h.i.+ Anhao said with a small nod. s.h.i.+ Yi has always been strict at work and ever since he took over the company that she and her husband temporary held, she was already planning ways to get it back from him. She turned to Lu Mello, "And who might he be?"
Lu Mello was standing quietly beside s.h.i.+ Enxi.
s.h.i.+ Ansheng and her sister, s.h.i.+ Nansheng, were glancing at Lu Mello"s tall and handsome figure since earlier. The reason why they were behaving was they wanted to have a good impression in his eyes.
s.h.i.+ Enxi noticed her cousins" l.u.s.tful gazes which made her sneer inside. "Oh, I brought him here with me since I wanted to introduce to you all to my husband, Lu Mello. He also wanted to visit auntie and uncle."
"Husband?...!" Everyone was surprised by what she said.
Since he is a Lu, does it mean that he"s the son of the most wealthy person in the country?!
"The... Son of Lu Yifeng?" w.a.n.g Hao couldn"t help but ask curiously. He was Lu Yifeng once so he couldn"t be mistaken since the resemblance between him and Lu Mello was great!
s.h.i.+ Enxi nodded shyly, "We decided to get married first before holding the wedding ceremony. Uncle w.a.n.g was still in a coma and I didn"t want him to miss my big day."
"You still should have told me about it." s.h.i.+ Anhao had a disappointed look on her face as she looked at s.h.i.+ Enxi. "You should have introduced him to us, Xiao Xi. I am still your guardian, if your parents were still here, what will they say if they suddenly found out that you decided on something without telling them?"
s.h.i.+ Enxi wanted to raise a brow at her. Her guardian? She even dared to mention her parents!
She clenched tight the plastic she was holding. She lowered her head so that they wouldn"t be able to see her darkened expression and the killing intent in her eyes. With her head down, she looked more like a child who was scolded by her parent only Lu Mello who was standing beside her could see the look on her face.
"Our marriage was abrupt." Lu Mello"s cello-like voice was heard.
"Abrupt?"
s.h.i.+ Enxi tried her best to keep herself calm. She turned to s.h.i.+ Anhao, looking uneasy. It was as if she was having a hard time telling the truth but in the end, she spoke up. "It was my brother"s decision and Mello"s parents. Grandma has agreed to it... They wanted the companies to strengthen its partners.h.i.+p with each other."
s.h.i.+ Anhao came into an understanding. "Oh... So it"s an arranged marriage? I"ve been away for a while that I"m not updated with any news lately." She heaved out a heavy sigh, she gave her a concerned look, "Since it"s an arranged marriage... You really don"t have a choice do you?"
She stood up and went toward s.h.i.+ Enxi. She grabbed her free hand and was looking worried at her, "You should have told me, Xiao Xi. Your parents wouldn"t want to force you in something like this. I could have done something to help you if you don"t agree with s.h.i.+ Yi and mother."
She could have done something to try and convince her mother to let him marry one of her daughters instead. s.h.i.+ Anhao never expected that s.h.i.+ Enxi would be so lucky to marry someone from the Lu family!
