Chapter 685 - I’ll Marry You (1)
Zhang Jiren and Li Meili left the hospital together. Since they still had a lot of things to discuss about their marriage, Li Meili allowed Zhang Jiren to take her away. She told Li Yuanyi that they must have a talk later once she returns home.
Seeing the two leaving together hand and hand, Madam Li turned to speak to her husband.
"Are you sure about this? Our Meili is marrying too soon." She said worriedly. To think that their youngest child had ended up pregnant with Zhang Jiren's child. Madam Li was confused with all of the revelations today.
Chairman Li shut his eyes and waved a hand. He had to admit that the sudden turn of events had caught him off guard.
"Meili is old enough to know the consequences of her actions. We just have to make sure that Zhang Jiren will properly take care of her."
Perhaps it was why he allowed Zhang Jiren to marry his daughter this soon. He didn't want to see Li Meili being pregnant and on the receiving end of scrutiny of the public because she carried a child out of wedlock.
The drive towards the restaurant, where Zhang Jiren had made a reservation, was rather awkward. Li Meili remained silent as she sat next to him, not saying anything since their conversation with her father earlier.
She wasn't sure if she had made the right decision, but considering that it was too late for her to back out now, Li Meili supposed that she didn't have a choice but to marry Zhang Jiren.
Li Meili was surprised when the car stopped in front of one of the restaurants her family owned. Once the staff recognized her and Zhang Jiren, they were immediately led to a private room where they could have their lunch privately.
Zhang Jiren was the one who placed the order for the two of them and Li Meili only hummed as the dishes were served one after another. What she noticed was the dishes Zhang Jiren had chosen for her were light and easy to digest at the same time. She didn't know that he could be this considerate, given how badly she had treated him in the past.
Once they were left on their own, Zhang Jiren didn't waste time and eat his meal.
"I'll marry you." He announced. "To be honest, I wasn't sure if I should accept your proposal, Miss Li. But considering it's too late for us to back out now, let me hear the terms and conditions of our contract. My lawyer will draft the contract today and I will send someone to deliver it to you tonight." He added, not beating around the bush.
Li Meili nodded. Since he put it that way, it was only natural that he would ask for her conditions.
"As I said before, you'll be acting as my husband for two years. You will be compensated for it. I'm willing to pay twenty million. The child, of course, would use the Zhang family name, but I don't want any of your family members to be involved with my baby." She started.
"Consider it done." Zhang Jiren replied before eating a piece of the steak he had cut on his plate. "What else?"
He would never allow any harm to befall Li Meili and her child under his watch, especially if it was the Zhang family.
"You and your family will waive your rights on my child once our divorce is finalized. I don't want any of the Zhangs to think that they can take advantage of my child."
"I see that you hate my family very much." He said with a weak smile, which made Li Meili fl.u.s.ter.
"It's not that I don't trust you. I just don't trust the Zhang family because of what they've done to my best friend and the Tang family." She said with all honesty.
Because she had turned her head and looked away, Li Meili didn't notice how Zhang Jiren's actions faltered and how his eyes darkened upon mentioning what happened to his family because of Zhang Wuying's audacity and determination to marry and conquer his father.
"I understand." He replied as he blinked away his anger, hiding it from Li Meili. She didn't need to know how the Zhang family offended him personally.
"I won't stop you from seeing someone else." Li Meili wasn't sure why she was discussing this with him, but Zhang Jiren was giving up two years of his life for her and her child and she didn't want to be an obstacle to his happiness. "But you must keep it a secret so the public attention won't turn to us."
"I have no plans of ruining our marriage by entertaining another woman." Zhang Jiren made it clear to her. As long as they were married, he would try his best not to bring shame and embarrassment to her.
Li Meili hummed. Somehow relieved that Zhang Jiren was willing to cooperate with her. Still, she wondered why he was willing to go through all this trouble for her. Was the compensation enough for him?
She chewed her lip and glanced at him nervously.
"If you don't mind, then I want you to know that you can't touch me at will and I won't share my bed with you."
Zhang Jiren then lifted his head and stared blankly at her. When he didn't say anything. Li Meili continued. She couldn't believe she had to explain this to him out loud.
"You are a man and I understand that you also have needs… Although I will be your wife for two years, I'm afraid I cannot perform my duties as your wife."
"That isn't something you should worry about. I wouldn't accept your proposal if there's a woman involved with me right now." Zhang Jiren assured her. Unlike other male CEOs who indulge themselves in multiple s.e.x.u.a.l affairs with women, he had only been with a few women and he wasn't seeing someone right now.
