His Eccentric Wife - Chapter 3 Getting To Know You Better?

Two days after it was decided that Xin Qian will be the one getting married to Wang Yong, the Wang family finally decided to get to know their ‘new’ daughter-in-law. As per the plan, Xin Qian was to arrive at Wang Yong’s place first and then they had to come together for the lunch planned at the Wang mansion. And that was why Xin Qian was sitting in her car, outside Wang Yong’s house. But she was a few hours early because she wanted to spend some time with Wang Yong, wanting to know him, understand him better but she just couldn’t muster up the courage to do so.

“Aish! Would he mind my presence? I mean I didn’t inform him that I was coming!” Xin Qian muttered to herself.

“What if he’s busy doing something or maybe he isn’t at home?! Aarrrgghh!” Xin Qian felt like pulling her hair out of sockets, she wasn’t the one to rush when it comes to such matters. This decision was taken purely a mistake on her part.

“Should I leave or should I stay?” she mumbled.

“You are going to spend your life with that man, you fool!” Xin Qian slapped herself on the forehead lightly, “You have all the right to meet him, talk to him, get to know him! Now don’t keep sitting here, just go!” finally arriving on a decision, Xian Qian drove towards the entrance gates.

“So finally she is ready to come inside.” Wang Yong smiled to himself, “Go and let her in. I’ll be in the gym.” he gave the servant an order.

It was really a surprise to him when a security guard informed him that they had spotted a suspicious looking car with black tinted windows parked outside the house. It was easy for him to recognize that it was Xin Qian’s car because the detailed report that he had gotten on Xin Qian did mention the car model, its color, type, and the number plate.

“For what reason could she be here?” he muttered to himself as he rolled his wheelchair towards the gym thinking about every other reason except the real one that she was here to spend some time with him. He let go off all his thoughts once in the gym. His instructor began helping him in exercising. No matter what his condition was, he needed to stay fit.

“Hope I am not interrupting.” it was Xin Qian’s voice that distracted Wang Yong from his work-out, his earlier thoughts about her, those which were momentarily forgotten, came back to strike his mind.

Dressed in maroon colored, one-shoulder jumpsuit, Xin Qian was looking exceptionally beautiful. Maroon was definitely her color.

“Now that we are going to get married, so I thought it was better if we should, you know, get to know each other.” said Xin Qian, looking at the in-built gym with appreciative eyes.

Wang Yong started exercising again, “It was nice of you to initiate. Thank you.”

His reply made Xin Qian frown. ‘Just a thank you, nothing else?’ she thought.

“I am sure you might have me investigated thoroughly but I don’t have connections like yours, plus I prefer face to face talk much more than stalking.” Xin Qian couldn’t help but stare at the shirtless man in front of her. Oh boy! She couldn’t stop herself from admiring the handsome man in front of her. His wide shoulders, those gorgeous abs, and his biceps, oh dear boy!

Wang Yong smiled at looked at Xin Qian, “What made you think that I had you investigated?”

Xin Qian was thankful towards Wang Yong that he distracted her before she could embarrass herself, “What do you take me as? A fool?” she chuckled but didn’t say anything further. Wang Yong didn’t press the issue any further. One day, one day he would surely unlock this mystery that Zhao Xin Qian was.

“It will take me half an hour to finish my work-out. Da Xia will show you around.” he said gesturing at the servant girl who was standing there holding a tray loaded with a glass of water, a glass of juice and some medicines.

“Okay then. I will be waiting for you.” said Xin Qian before following Da-Xia out of the gym.

“And this is master’s bedroom.”

Much to Xin Qian’s pleasure, Wang Yong’s house wasn’t that huge. She was never a fan of large size mansions, she didn’t know about others but the mansions that she had lived or stayed at for short periods of time didn’t have that homely touch. They looked more like museums to her. Wang Yong’s house was the perfect place to live. A three storey house surrounded by greenery and a lake at the back. The house was loaded with modern applications with few specifications so that Wang Yong could move and shift by himself.

The ground floor covered living room, kitchen, dining area, two washrooms, and one guest room. The gym, an in-house theatre, a study, and a game room made up the first floor. There was also a swimming pool on the first floor. And on the second floor was the master bedroom, a huge walk-in closet and two more rooms, one a bit smaller than the other. This is what turned out to be the best part of the house for her, that particular empty room where she could establish a working area for herself.

Xin Qian was brought out of her bubble when she heard the click of the door unlocking. She turned around and saw Wang Yong coming out of the washroom attached to the master bedroom, freshly bathed and only dressed in a pair of pants. It also made her realize the time, it had taken her an hour to take the tour of the house.

“Have you eaten?” he asked as he used a towel to dry his hair.

Xin Qian nodded in negative, “Come then. We can talk over breakfast.”

****************

“So what do you want to know about me?” asked Wang Yong, taking a bite of his pancakes.

“Anything. Everything.” just two words from Xin Qian and everything was said. “Let’s start with your family. I want to know what I am put against today.” said Xin Qian making a face

A laugh escaped out of Wang Yong, such a blunt attitude was kind of refreshing for him. Women around him tend to act cute and sweet, not to forget delicate and fragile but this Zhao Xin Qian, she’s different. Different in a good way.

“Okay.” Wang Yong took a sip of his coffee before continuing, “My great grandfather was the one who laid the foundation of Wang enterprises, it was just a textile business at first but over the time the Wang generations have expanded and diversified the business. Today the Wang Enterprises are the largest and richest in the country and 12th in the world.”

“Old money, huh?!” commented Xin Qian as she lightly twirled her glass of lychee juice.

Xin Qian’s bluntness was quite appealing to Wang Yong, “I have inherited that wealth, yes but that doesn’t mean that I haven’t earned that as well. The Wang enterprises, the position it is currently, its all the hard work that I and my family had put into.”

“Impressive. What about your family on the personal level?” she asked.

“My family consists of my father Wang Lei who is mostly like your father but a bit more strict. My mother died when I was 4, my father then got married to Ming Yue, my stepmother who’s actually the most loving, amazing and passionate woman I have ever met. And then there is my younger brother, Wang Jiang. He has just joined the family business and is doing great.”

“Amazing family you got there.” Xin Qian smiled sadly thinking about her stepmother and stepsister.

“Well, now its going to be your family as well.” Wang Yong clearly didn’t like a sad Xin Qian. Didn’t know from where did that came but the thought of Xin Qian being sad or is distress had him feeling bad. Perhaps he was feeling so because she is going to be his responsibility, she was going to be his wife after all.

“So..” Xin Qian trailed off, “Any exes I should worry about? I hope that at present someone isn’t plotting my murder.”

Wang Yong let out a relieved breath at that particular comment from Xin Qian. The girl was back to business. “Nope. My love life is pretty much non-existent.” he replied.

“What? Seriously? You want me to believe that?” Xin Qian asked rolling her eyes.

“Why is it so hard to believe?” he asked.

“Well..” Xin Qian dragged the word, “For starters, you are quite a handsome guy. Great looks, loaded with money, powerful and intelligent. It is believable that you might not have a girlfriend or someone like that because of your current condition but you weren’t like this always, right? What about before your accident?”

Wang Yong smiled a simple but quite charming smile, “None. Seriously speaking, there was never a girl in my life who could hold my interest for long. So, yes, I didn’t have any girlfriend or a lover.”

“Are you a virgin then?” Xin Qian asked, genuinely curious.

Now that had Wang Yong laughing wholeheartedly. His cheeks reddened slightly but Xin Qian’s question was a pleasant surprise for him, just like he had thought. Zhao Xin Qian was a different kind of woman. Different from a very very good way.

“What answer do you want to hear? A yes or a no?” Wang Yong asked the counter question.

“I don’t mind actually.” Xin Qian shrugged, “A yes would mean that I am gonna be your first which would be great because you are going to be mine first too. And if your answer is no, that I don’t mind either, because that would mean more experience.”

It was turning out to be a very pleasant and joyous day for Wang Yong. He was kind of glad that he was going to marry Xin Qian, because no matter why they were getting married, at least he will get an interesting partner to spend his life with. “The answer is ‘yes’, I am virgin indeed.” Wang Yong smirked, “And it makes me really happy that you are a virgin too. It’s going to be quite a night, our first night I mean.”

Oh boy! Is he flirting with her? Xin Qian blushed under Wang Yong’s gaze, quite a first for her. She was known for her bold and blunt nature but this man was like her perfect match. Life with him may not be perfect but it’s definitely going to be interesting.
