The Arranged Marriage - Chapter 1

Zhang Lihua sat on the family size bed in the Master’s bedroom browsing through her phone. This was the first night of her marriage.

Her family’s business was going through severe problems and her parents begged her to marry Li Cheng, who was one of the richest business men in Beijing. She was the last daughter and she was treated like a princess in her family’s house. She never liked the idea of her getting married to someone she knew nothing about but she was ready to do anything for her family. After several pleas from her parents, she agreed to marry Li Cheng. She didn’t mind much because she had plans of divorcing him once her family’s business was stable.

As for Li Cheng, he was popular and he lived a life of luxury. Every girl in Beijing was dying to be close to him. He had loved Zhang Lihua since the first day he saw her at his family’s house but he has never mentioned it to anybody. He had a cold personality so he found it difficult to tell people how he felt.

The door to the bathroom opened and Li Cheng came out with a towel round his waist, his hair was wet and his skin glowed like that of a child. Zhang Lihua raised her head slightly, she stared at the man in front of her without saying anything. Li Cheng went into the dressing room and changed into his pyjamas. He walked out of the dressing room and saw Zhang Lihua sitting in the same position she was when he came out from the bathroom. She was still browsing through her phone.

Li Cheng asked her expressionlessly “aren’t u going to take a shower?”

Zhang Lihua heard him but she didn’t respond. She just kept going through her phone. Li Cheng ȧssumed that she didn’t want him to see her because she was going to feel uncomfortable. He stared at her for some time and left the room.

Zhang Lihua stopped pressing her phone and stared at the door.

Why does he even care if I have a shower or not, thank God he left the room

She dropped her phone and went into the dressing room. Lihua had a problem with trusting men because of what she went through some years ago.
