Chapter 13 - I DON'T WANT TO MARRY FOR BENEFITS

"Father! How can I ever wish you dead?" She asked her father with a solemn expression. Her father felt bad too but he couldn't help it. He knew how stubborn his daughter can be whenever the talk about marriage was brought up. In order to persuade her to get married he needs to use her weakness against her just this once. He knew that she was strong enough to protect herself but he wanted her to have a man to rely on too.

"Then grant your father this one wish that I require of you?".

She was sure that her dad will not let her off easily this time. She didn't want to deceive her father, "Father about the President, he just wanted to marry me due to the influence and wealth he will acquire from me. All the guys just wants to marry me because of the benefits they are going to derive from their marriage relationship with me".

Master Lie was quite aware of the terms in which businessmen got married at this present generation but he was certain that his daughter was only using that as an excuse to bail herself out from the discussion, "Ge'er! At least those men will not dare to treat you badly. You can still live in luxury even after your marriage ".

"Father I will never compromise my lifetime happiness just for luxury. All those men who have ever shown interest in me don't even have anything to offer in this relationship. If I where to accept their marriage proposals they will be the only one who benefits from this relationship".

"Ge'er! There is no need to be sentimental about this. You have everything to offer them which will make them treat you like a Queen that you are. Just give one of them the chance ".Master Lie concluded.

Lie Ruge was not gonna back off just like that, "Father but you married mother out of love so why must I marry out of convenience and not out of love? I will only get married to the man that I love".

Her father had noticed a long time ago after she finally returned from acquiring her university education. She has changed from a loving girl to a cold and heartless woman. She had closed her heart to everyone. She has put on a cold facade just to scare everyone away from her.

No man dared to approach her due to her cold and domineering attitude. She can only be her herself whenever she was with either her father or with her childhood best friend, Xiao Bai.

He knew she was absolutely correct about the fact that he loved his wife so dearly.

The sole reason why he was urging her to get married was so that she would not dwell too deeply into the past.

He had been informed that she was investigating the cause of her mother's murder, so he wanted her to get married as soon as possible in order to drive her attention away from her mother's case.

"Ok Ge'er, I married your mother my wife out of love. Since you want to marry out of love I won't force you to marry against your wish but you have to promise me that you will try to open your heart to these men who are interested in you?".

She was glad because her father has finally agreed to her terms but she was quite reluctant to reply, "Ok....., I promise. I will try my best regarding that".

Master Lie was happy. His daughter was quite willing to open her heart to a man now. He was overwhelmed with happiness, "That is my girl".

After spending quality time with her dad. She went to her mansion to relax. Miss Lie Ruge was damn tired so she decided to sleep in till the next morning. She got prepared and later went to the office.
