The Arranged Marriage - Chapter 44

Few minutes later, Secretary Jiao arrived with a makeup artist.

When Zhang Lihua finished dressing, she looked at herself in the mirror.

Li Cheng picked a red off shoulder long gown. The gown had glittering stones around the waist area and a slit at the front. Her jewelries and 8-10 centimeters heels matched the glittering stones on the gown. Her makeup was light and her sleek curly long hair fell round her shoulders.

Secretary Jiao and the makeup stylist commented on her beauty endlessly.

“Lady Boss I haven’t seen someone as beautiful as you, no wonder my boss is head over heels for you”

“Mrs Li, you are so so beautiful, you brought out the beauty of the dress and I didn’t have to stress myself when making you up because of your flawless skin”

Zhang Lihua blushed as she heard their praises

“Thank you, but am still curious, Secretary Jiao what type of event am I attending?”

Secretary Jiao smiled politely “Lady Boss I have no idea” She checked her wrist watch and said “The driver should be here by now, let’s go”

Secretary Jiao and Zhang Lihua went outside the building and saw a limousine waiting for them.

The driver drove to a popular hotel in Imperial City.

She led Zhang Lihua to the elevator. Lihua asked her if she had any idea about the type of event she was attending, the lady smiled politely “Mrs Li, I have no idea”

Zhang Lihua kept wondering why everyone was telling her they had no idea, she even asked the driver and he told her the same thing.

The lady said calmly as she smiled “Mrs Li you look so beautiful today”

Zhang Lihua smiled politely “Thank you”

The lady said in a low tone as she brought out a pen and book “Am a big fan of yours, can I get an autograph?”

Zhang Lihua wasn’t the social type, she only showed her face to the public when she had an event or interview. So the lady saw it as a rare opportunity to be in the same elevator with her.

“Sure” Zhang Lihua took the pen and book from her, she drew her signature and wrote some words of encouragement.

The lady took the book and pen and replied happily “Thank you”

Seeing the lady’s expression, Zhang Lihua smiled “You’re welcome”

“Mrs Li, the event will be held at the rooftop of the building, am sorry I can’t follow you there but this staircase leads to the rooftop” The Lady pointed at a staircase

“It’s fine, thank you”

The lady bowed politely and left.

Zhang Lihua stared at the staircase as she kept wondering about the type of event she was attending. She climbed the staircase slowly till she got to the rooftop of the building.

Zhang Lihua froze.

The rooftop was decorated with red and white roses, different colour of lights surrounded the edges of the rooftop, there was a table, with two sits. A candle and a vase of flower was on the table, white and red roses were decorated into a ‘I love you’ shape close to the table.

Zhang Lihua thought she was in the wrong place so she turned to leave. As she turned she saw Li Cheng standing in front of her wearing a black suit with a red tie. She was startled, she wanted to say something but the words couldn’t come out of her mouth

Why is Li Cheng here? The setting here is a romantic setting or has he found someone he likes? I thought he said he was never going to dump me, Zhang Lihua you were such a fool, you believed his words without thinking and you even started falling for him.

Zhang Lihua felt a deep pain in her heart as she thought about Li Cheng dumping her. Tears were already welling up in her eyes.
