CHAPTER 2

The morning sun had risen and have illuminated every room of the rich mansion. The mansion is large and elegant covered with all-black interiors. The large wall clock on one of the walls of the living room is about to strike at 5:30 am. As soon as the clock strikes 5:30 am, every servant working in the mansion becomes more diligent as they see the butler of the family descending the stairs.

The butler after descending looks at everyone and soon moves into the kitchen where a chubby lady is cooking food. The butler reaches the lady who is engrossed in cooking but soon guesses the other person's presence and spoke,
"Good Morning, butler Han" while stirring the soup she is cooking.

"Good morning, Xu Ma" replied the butler back.
The lady named Xu Ma turns toward butler Han and speaks, "what brings you this early here in the kitchen?"
"Sir is leaving early for the office today!" Replied the butler nonchalantly.
Xu Ma who heard it frowned as she knows that her master rarely leaves for this office early. She is thinking about it with a frowned face but then suddenly her face widens with a smile and with that smiling face she looks at the butler with a gaze as if asking a question. The butler who saw the questioning gaze replied with a smile.
Xu Ma satisfied with the butler's answer resumed the work whereas the butler moved toward the dining room setting the table for the young master of the family.


In the mansion, on the second floor, the morning sun is illuminating every room except one as all the windows of the room are covered by black curtains. The bedroom is large and is very elegant and mysterious. In this room, a man is seen sleeping peacefully and the only sound in the room is the regular breathing of the man.

A peaceful and serene environment is seen in the room when suddenly an alarm sound echoes disturbing the silence of the room. The man sleeping on the bed groans as he fishes out his phone to switch the alarm off. The man opens his eyes as his hands grasp his phone as he sees that it's already 6:00 am. He after seeing the time straightens himself and proceeds toward the bathroom for his morning routine as well as a morning shower.

It took him a total of 30 minutes to refresh himself up and after coming out of the shower he walks into his walk-in closet to get ready for his work, after getting ready he glances himself in the mirror and moves out of the room.


The man is none other than The famous CEO and heir of Xiao corporation, XIAO ZHAN, the richest person in the country known for his cold-hearted nature and ruthless business ideas, never caught in any scandals, always known for his aloof nature. He is a workaholic person and people say that the wife of Xiao Zhan is his work. He is the diamond bachelor of the country according to the business magazines as who will not want to marry him. He comes after Wang Yibo in the list for the most eligible bachelors of the country, as The people do not know that this ruthless CEO's heart already belongs to someone he never met.

As he descends the stairs to reach into the dining of the mansion, he is greeted by butler Han, "Good morning, master Zhan"
"Morning, butler Yan," replied Zhan and after a pause speaks, "is the breakfast ready?"
Butler Han who heard the question spoke, "yes master Zhan"
Zhan hummed in response and proceeded toward the Breakfast table for his breakfast.

After completion of the breakfast, he stood up from his seat as Butler yan hands him over his briefcase. Zhan after taking the briefcase spoke, "is Mr. Lam ready with the car?"
"Yes sir"
Zhan hearing it nodded his head and moved toward the mansion door where he saw Mr. Lam waiting for him.

Mr. Lan on seeing Zhan rushed toward the door to open for his master, as he spoke, "Good morning, sir"
Zhan hummed in response and enters the car. Mr. Lam after making sure his boss have settled in the car took the driver's seat as he started with the car. With this, the car leaves the mansion followed by two security cars.


Zhan who entered the car fishes out his tablet as he starts reading the documents about today's document bit while reading documents his thoughts shifted to his life. Zhan is the proficient and well-known Ceo of china known for his business management skills. He took over the position of CEO at age of 22 after the death of his parents in a car crash. Zhan was the single child of his parents who felt devasted by this accident as it turned out to be an unexpected occurrence in his smoothly going life. He was so devasted that he wanted to end his life if not for his teacher and his father's best friend, Mr. Wang who saved him and made him what he is today. Zhan after recovering from his loss and with the help of Mr. Wang took the position of the CEO and made the company reach new heights within 6 years. The associates which used to belittle him now run behind him faking a concerned look for him but Zhan knows better who is truthful to him and who is not so he ignores everyone except one but the irony of his life is that person doesn't want to meet him. That person is his beloved husband, Wang Yibo, the son of Mr. Wang. Zhan married Yibo 2 years back on request from Mr. Wang.

He still remembers when Mr. Wang called him and asked him to marry his son. Zhan was in a meeting when his phone rang, Zhan who fished out the phone was shocked to see his mentor calling him, so he excused himself to attend the call. Zhan already knew that his teacher's health was deteriorating as Mr. Wang was suffering from lung cancer. He had already prepared himself for the worst but what he heard was more shocking.

Mr. Wang had called Zhan as he wanted him to get married to his only son Wang Yibo. Zhan who heard this was shocked to the core he didn't expect such a wish from his teacher. Zhan after being reluctant as he didn't know what will be his teacher's son reaction but at last after some persuasion from his teacher agreed to this wish of his teacher.

He married Wang Yibo only on papers but didn't meet him as the only wish the other put forward was to not meet him and Zhan who had loved Yibo since he first saw him once with Mr. Wang agreed to the wish.

As Zhan is thinking about all this he didn't even realize when he reached the office. Zhan who is in his daze when felt a tap on his shoulder looked at Mr. Lam who is responsible for it. Mr. Lam when saw his boss's gaze replied, "Sir, we have reached."
Zhan who heard this just hummed in response, and enters the building of XIAO CORPORATION.

The building is an 80 storey building and is located at the heart of the city of Beijing. Since Zhan reached the office at 7:30 am so the building is mostly empty. Zhan pressed the button on his private elevator and entered it as he presses the button for the 80th floor. After a few minutes, The lift opens on the 80th floor and Zhan steps out from the lift.

He proceeded toward his office, where he saw his PA, Wen Ning waiting for him. The PA on seeing Zhan moves toward Zhan and speaks, "good morning, boss"

Zhan on hearing it just nods his head and enters his office followed by his PA.
As he settles on the chair he looks at the PA taking this as a cue from his boss starts reading the schedule of Zhan to him and to his please all his schedules are planned in such a way that they are ending before 11:00 am.

After finishing, Ning looks at his boss and Zhan seeing Ning's gaze replied, "good job"
"Thank you, boss" with this he is about to leave the room when he suddenly remembers about the file so he turns toward Zhan and speaks, "sir."

Zhan who had engrossed himself in his work just hummed in response. Wen Ning then produces the file and keeps it in front of him as he speaks, "sir, mr. Wang photoshoot results are here"

Zhan when hears the name just drops all of his work and takes the file and opens it. The photos themselves bring a smile to his face as he caresses the photo of his beloved he mumbles to himself.

"WHEN ARE YOU ALLOWING ME TO MEET YOU, LOVE?"
