Day Forty-One...
~~*****~~
Master Wu barged into the guest room looking for his son. Aiden was supposed to meet a very important client today. But his secretary informed Master Wu that his son was late. He didn't arrive at the meeting place.
Their client was fuming in rage because Aiden stood him up. Little did they know, Aiden had forgotten about this meeting because his mind was preoccupied with Cherry.
Master Wu was aware of Aiden's womanizing habit. But Aiden had been this irresponsible when it came to meeting their VIP client. This was the first time it happened.
The Imperial City construction project was at stake. They could have signed the contract today if only Aiden showed up at the meeting place. But unfortunately, Aiden failed to come.
Master Wu had no other choice but to look for his son and berate him. He was enraged after knowing they might lose the deal with this Imperial City construction project.
After calling Aiden's place, Master Wu found out that his son was still at home. The old man headed straight to Aiden's villa.
Who would have thought that he would see his son together with a woman in his own place? He had known him for ages. His son didn't usually bring his girlfriend to his home. He only brought them to hotels.
He was ready to reproach his son angrily. But then again, he was silenced by the sight in front of him.
"D-Dad, what are you doing here?" Aiden asked him in disbelief.
Master Wu was about to reply when Aiden signaled him to stay quiet. He lifted his forefinger, bringing it close to his lips. Then he pointed his mouth at Cherry who was sound asleep.
Aiden's father reflexively zipped his mouth. He was surprised that Aiden was so concerned about the woman. He didn't want his father to create any noise that would awaken his special guest, Cherry.New n0vel chapters are published on
Aiden motioned for his father to go out while he slowly got off the bed. Master Wu's eyes widened when he saw Aiden's naked body.
"Tsk tsk tsk!" Master Wu could only shake his head while clicking his tongue. He could tell that his son was not making up a story. His expression alone was enough to tell him that his son indeed forgot today's meeting.
"They might negotiate with our competitors. The Project Team Lead of the Imperial City Construction Project was quite disappointed with you."
Aiden rubbed his temples. He looked problematic now. He knew that his father would punish him for this negligence. He glanced at his father anxiously. He smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his neck.
"Dad, please forgive me for this once. I'm going to talk to the City Mayor and apologize to the head of Imperial City. I will ask for a second chance!" Aiden pleaded, putting his palms together.
"I will deal with this concern. I will let this slide but on one condition, you should be responsible for the woman you brought here. You should marry her!" Master Wu declared to him.
Aiden: "..."
Aiden was flabbergasted by Master Wu's statement. It took him several seconds to process his father's words before it sunk into his mind.
'What? My father wants me to marry Cherry?' Aiden blinked his eyes in disbelief.
"Old Man Wu? What did you say? Perhaps, I heard it wrong..." Aiden asked him in confusion.
Master Wu lifted his eyebrow and hissed at him. "Watch your manners, brat. Did you just call me Old Man? Heh! This old man will give you a lesson."
After saying that, Master Wu stood up and marched out of his study room.
"Hey, Dad! Where are you going?" Aiden also rose to follow his father.
"I'm going to wake up my future daughter-in-law. I will discuss marriage with her."
"Nooo, Dad!!!! Don't!!!" Aiden panicked.
