The Next Morning...
With all her things packed, Aang Jiang did not feel the need to rush out of bed. After all, she was an early bird. It only just turned 7am.
An engine was heard. Aang Jiang wondered who it could be this early morning because her brothers and elder sister never came home, her little sister used a rented van from her company, and her parents used a Mercedes Benz, but the sound of the engine came from a Lamborghini Revuelto.
Aang Jiang finally managed to drag herself out of bed, freshen up and walk out of her room to have breakfast. She had just walked into the living room when she was pulled by a force to the sofa. She turned her head to her side to realize that it was her father who pulled her.
Aang Jiang struggled to get out of Aang Yu's grip on her hand, but Aang Yu had no intention of letting go.
"Behave!" were the words Aang Yu said through gritted teeth. Aang Jiang knew that was a warning.
"Hey. Good morning beauty." These were the wake-up call words for Aang Jiang to realize they were not alone.
Opposite her seat was Song Tang. His eyes devoid of hardship, white, had a complimenting black pupil. He had a small nose, light eyebrows, short eyelashes, pink cheeks, small pink lips and white teeth. Wearing a white shirt to compliment his fair complexion, black jeans beneath and a pair of Nike Air Max to his feet, he was the sole epitome of a gay person.
Beside him sat his elder sister, Song Tian. One look and one would know they were related for she was the exact replica of him but in female version. She also wore a straight white dress to compliment her skin and a pair of short white heels.
Song Tang was the one who spoke earlier.
"Mr. Song, this is the woman we were talking about earlier. Your arranged fiancée and soon to be bride. Isn't she beautiful as I promised?" Aang Yu couldn't wait to start the introduction. He had to hurry and drive the Song siblings out of his home before the womanizing bastard saw his precious daughter and changed his mind.
" She is indeed beautiful. I am happy you didn't lie to me. I have to be honest; I thought you were exaggerating back then." Song Tang said as he scrutinized Aang Jiang all over with a wretched smile. As Song Tang kept watching Aang Jiang, her features became clearer and clearer to him.
Her beauty was one which could not be described with mere words.
Her eyes were vast and hypnotic, twin galaxies swirling with secrets too ancient to name. They didn't just look at you—they pulled you in, made you forget the world outside their orbit.
A small, delicate nose sat above lips that seemed sculpted by moonlight—full, perfectly shaped, tinted with the soft blush of light pink petals. Her ears, gently curved and medium-sized, framed her face like quiet parentheses around a symphony.
Her hair was a cascade of midnight—thick, flowing, and impossibly black, as if spun from the shadows between stars. It moved like silk in the wind, whispering stories no one had yet heard.
Her skin glowed with a warmth that felt alive—flawless, radiant, and smooth, as though kissed by the sun and blessed by the earth. And her face, small and chubby, held a softness that disarmed even the most hardened souls. It was the kind of face that made danger look divine
At that moment, Aang Jiang was wearing a normal female working attire and black boots with no make-up. Black boots, black skirt, white shirt, and black coat. Her hair was left to flow behind her.
Whiles Song Tang was busily admiring Aang Jiang, her brows slowly knitted as she realized what was going on at the moment. This scumbag of a father didn't keep his end of the deal they made the day before. Aang Jiang really wished she could hack her father into several pieces at this moment, but she held back her impulses.
Turning to her father, she said" Dad, I don't remember agreeing to any engagement or marriage. Besides, didn't we have a deal yesterday? I won and fulfilled my part. Now it is your turn to fulfill your part. "
"Uncle Aang, she doesn't know? It doesn't matter." Song Tang got up from his seat and stood before Aang Jiang. He said coyly " Hi. My name is Song Tang. This is my sister...."
"I know who you are and what you are here for. I just don't care. Let me simplify it for you if you still don't understand, I don't want to marry you" Aang Jiang said to cut him off as well as the proposed marriage.
Song Tian scoffed. Who didn't know this type of woman. She hated women who played hard-to-get. She should really save herself the trouble and stop making a fool of herself trying to attract her brother's attention. Song Tang also thought Aang Jiang was trying to play the hard-to- get type of woman.
"I am the current vice president of the Song Entertainment industry. I own five of the most popular and expensive cars in the country as well as two mansions. I receive 500, 000 a month. I hope this general review of myself can pique an interest of me in your heart." Song Tang said going for his champ card.
He had been with many girls enough to know women always fell for money. The two siblings were waiting for the usual reaction every woman has after meeting a man overflowing with money.
Aang Jiang who almost dozed off during Song Tang self-absorbed speech continued to look at them with a dull expression, which clearly read 'Are you done'. Aang Yu, on the other hand, face was already as bright as it could be.
"Who says I want your money. Why tell me all these useless things that don't concern me. I am already running late for work so I will get going immediately. If there is nothing important to say, I advise you do the same." Aang Jiang said.
Song Tang choked on his saliva whiles Song Tian and Aang Yu became furious.
Song Tang was shocked that someone, and a woman at that, actually refused to bow down to his money and influence. Song Tian was furious because Aang Jiang's behavior disrespected her brother whom she doted on and their entire Song family. She turned her angry face to Aang Yu, as if asking for an explanation.
Aang Yu was furious on his own. How could his daughter be this foolish and refuse such an excellent man.
"You good-for-nothing, how could compare your job to Mr. Song's presence. Apologize immediately" Aang Yu said trying to see if he could salvage the situation.
Song Tian, getting the opportunity, chimed in " It should be your honor that my brother took you into consideration. How dare you humiliate him. Apologize now, then maybe, we can consider the proposed marriage again."
Song Tang slowly regained his confidence and arrogance. He really liked the thought of a beautiful woman kneeling and begging for his mercy.
"My pride doesn't allow me to apologize. As for the marriage, it is my dad's problem. I didn't want to get married in the first place, especially not to your brother. If there is really nothing else, I am going." Aang Jiang said expressionlessly.
'Bang'
Aang Jiang fell to the ground
Aang Yu slapped Aang Jiang. How could this imbecile be so indifferent. And when she opens her mouth, she just has to voice everything in her mind out. It was purposely because of this behavior that he wanted to marry her to Song Tang, rumored to be a playboy, so he won't be at a loss.
"Why did you slap me?" Aang Jiang asked in disbelief.
"If you do not apologize and agree to the marriage, then... move out! The Aang family can't continue to fend for a useless child." Aang Yu said angrily.
Aang Yu, Song Tang and Song Tian were expecting to hear pleas and apologies, but all they got was a cold laugh.
"Do you think I don't have a place to stay? I am already moving out!" Aang Jiang said coldly.
After saying that, Aang Jiang didn't wait for a response or reaction and went for the prepared suitcase in her room. She had no appetite to have breakfast, so she left the Aang family house without looking back. Hailing a taxi, she got in and went straight to the company.
