100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Day Forty-One…

~~*****~~

Master Wu barged into the guest room looking for his son. Aiden was supposed to meet a very important client today. But his secretary informed Master Wu that his son was late. He didn't arrive at the meeting place.

Their client was fuming in rage because Aiden stood him up. Little did they know, Aiden had forgotten about this meeting because his mind was preoccupied with Cherry.

Master Wu was aware of Aiden's womanizing habit. But Aiden had been this irresponsible when it came to meeting their VIP client. This was the first time it happened.

The Imperial City construction project was at stake. They could have signed the contract today if only Aiden showed up at the meeting place. But unfortunately, Aiden failed to come.

Master Wu had no other choice but to look for his son and berate him. He was enraged after knowing they might lose the deal with this Imperial City construction project.

After calling Aiden's place, Master Wu found out that his son was still at home. The old man headed straight to Aiden's villa.

Who would have thought that he would see his son together with a woman in his own place? He had known him for ages. His son didn't usually bring his girlfriend to his home. He only brought them to hotels.

He was ready to reproach his son angrily. But then again, he was silenced by the sight in front of him.

"D-Dad, what are you doing here?" Aiden asked him in disbelief.

Master Wu was about to reply when Aiden signaled him to stay quiet.  He lifted his forefinger, bringing it close to his lips. Then he pointed his mouth at Cherry who was sound asleep.

Aiden's father reflexively zipped his mouth. He was surprised that Aiden was so concerned about the woman. He didn't want his father to create any noise that would awaken his special guest, Cherry.

Aiden motioned for his father to go out while he slowly got off the bed. Master Wu's eyes widened when he saw Aiden's naked body.

'This troublemaker son of mine and this woman… Are they in a serious relationship? Is my son sticking to one woman now?'

Master Wu took one last glance at Cherry, his eyes shining with joy and excitement. His son never brought a woman to his home so he assumed that the woman sleeping in his bed was somehow special to Aiden.

'Oh my gosh! I will forgive him for losing the Imperial City Construction Project if he will admit that he is a changed man now… and he is ready to marry someone.' His lips tugged upward in a wide grin as he turned around, leaving the room.

Aiden gently closed the door as he tiptoed. He didn't make unnecessary sounds. He followed his father behind.

"Go wash your face and put some clothes on first!" Master Wu scowled at his son. He was not wearing a shirt and he dared talk to his father like that.

Aiden could only sigh in defeat. It was his father who came barging inside the room. He didn't have any idea why his father was furious a while ago. Fortunately, Cherry didn't wake up, otherwise, he would be killed by her.

A few minutes later, the father and son duo faced each other inside his study room. Master Wu had a serious look on his face as he watched his son with his scorching gaze.

"Dad? What's with that kind of gaze?" Aiden could feel that his father was showing his authority and dominance.

Master Wu sat opposite Aiden. His arms were folded across his chest and his chin was slightly up. He arched his eyebrow. His facial expression seemed to tell Aiden to explain.

"Dad, I'm not a mind reader. If you have something to tell me then say it out loud." Aiden complained, waving his hands in a dramatic way.

"Cough! Cough!" Master Wu simply cleared his throat.

"Why did you screw up our deal with the Imperial City Construction project? You didn't show up in the meeting place." Compared to his mood a while ago, Master Wu was no longer furious.

On the other hand, Aiden's jaw dropped and his eyes widened in realization. He just remembered the meeting with their VIP client today.

"Oh, Shit!" Aiden tugged his frizzy hair. "I forgot about it!" He grabbed his phone and checked the date and time today.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" Master Wu could only shake his head while clicking his tongue. He could tell that his son was not making up a story. His expression alone was enough to tell him that his son indeed forgot today's meeting.

"They might negotiate with our competitors. The Project Team Lead of the Imperial City Construction Project was quite disappointed with you."

Aiden rubbed his temples. He looked problematic now. He knew that his father would punish him for this negligence. He glanced at his father anxiously. He smiled sheepishly, scratching the back of his neck.

"Dad, please forgive me for this once. I'm going to talk to the City Mayor and apologize to the head of Imperial City. I will ask for a second chance!" Aiden pleaded, putting his palms together.

"I will deal with this concern. I will let this slide but on one condition, you should be responsible for the woman you brought here. You should marry her!" Master Wu declared to him.

Aiden: "..."

Aiden was flabbergasted by Master Wu's statement. It took him several seconds to process his father's words before it sunk into his mind.

'What? My father wants me to marry Cherry?' Aiden blinked his eyes in disbelief.

"Old Man Wu? What did you say? Perhaps, I heard it wrong…" Aiden asked him in confusion.

Master Wu lifted his eyebrow and hissed at him. "Watch your manners, brat. Did you just call me Old Man? Heh! This old man will give you a lesson."

After saying that, Master Wu stood up and marched out of his study room.

"Hey, Dad! Where are you going?" Aiden also rose to follow his father.

"I'm going to wake up my future daughter-in-law. I will discuss marriage with her."

"Nooo, Dad!!!! Don't!!!" Aiden panicked.
