The Devil’s love

"But what about you? How is this fair to my wife? If I just give in so easily they—"

Cutting him off, Meili explained, "This isn't a fight Guiren and you tell me, even if your parents accept me, will that affect our relationship in any way?" When he shook his head, she continued, "So why do you even care? And it's not about them accepting our relationship, it's about you fulfilling your responsibilities as a son. This isn't a competition honey and despite all the differences, we are still family right?" ​​

Pulling her into his embrace, he sighed, "You surely know how to convince me to do things I don't want to."

"And this is why I am your wife," she chuckled.

Looking at the group of people who had gathered outside the hospital room, he took a deep breath. "And now I have a bunch of idiots to deal with."

Giving him a peck on his cheeks, she smiled, "You got this my hero, now why don't you deal with them first and after everything is over, I'll reward you."

"Ah I love rewards, especially if it's coming from you and ends with us exhausted in bed."

"Guiren, Meili," Flora beamed before rushing towards them.

"Flo, what are you doing here?" Guiren inquired before giving his cousin a hug.

Pulling away, Flora gave Meili a hug and started ranting, "Don't even make me start, the second uncle called everyone to the main mansion and was trying to convince everyone to let Sabbath take over Zhang corporation. Dad was totally against it and mom backed him up too but you have been away for too long, nobody was sure whether you would want to come back or not. But dad still managed to convince everyone to wait until your official backout. Anyway, the conclusion to which everyone agreed is that Sabbath will take over only if you tell them that you are not coming back, right now."

Wrapping his hand on her shoulder, Guiren took a deep breath, "Okay Flo, take a deep breath and calm down."

"No you are not understanding, I know you don't want to take over but if you don't, that sick bastard will take over everything and you know how much I hate him," Flora yelled loud enough for everyone to hear it.

"Flora, honey everyone can hear you," Flora's mother, Amantha awkwardly reminded her daughter.

Shrugging her shoulder, she snapped, "What? It's not like anyone wants Sabbath to take over, that man is a jerk."

"Tylor, control your daughter," The second uncle fumed.

"Yes sure—" Looking for something in his pocket, Flora's dad, Tylor faked a sigh, "Ahh what a bummer, I left the remote somewhere."

Meili and Guiren pursed their lips and looked away while Flora grinned at her dad before sticking out her thumb at him.

Just then, mother Zhang stepped out of the room and inquired, "What are you all doing here?"

"We are here to discuss a few important things sister-in-law, since this unfortunately even took place so suddenly, we need to find someone capable who can take care of the business." Looking at Guiren, the second uncle added, "Since the selected one isnt interested then I would be honoured to let my son take the burden of the entire—"

Cutting him off, Guiren snapped, "Who said that I am not interested?" Walking towards them, he added, "Surely I was away for a while because I had a few issues with my parents but that doesnt mean I will run away from my responsibilities."

"But you left, it's been three years and—"

"Yes I did and I am not denying that. I mean, I married this beautiful woman so like every loving couple, we were enjoying our honeymoon phase," Guiren answered.

The second uncle frowned and gritted his teeth, "Three years? Are you trying to say that you were on a honeymoon for three years?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Guiren sighed, "Well, we had planned to stay in the honeymoon vibe for two more years but like you said, unfortunate events happened so we were forced to cut it short. Anyway, I also don't have any intention of pressuring your son with all the burden."

Purring his lips, the second uncle inquired, "So you are coming back?"

"Why do you think I am here with my wife?"

"If Guiren is back then we don't have anything else to discuss."

"Yes, who is better than our Guiren? No one."

Balling his hand into a fist, the second uncle fumed, "How can you do this? You weren't supposed to come back."

Taking a step closer, Guiren mockingly smirked, "I am the biggest shareholder of the Zhang corporation and even if we walk through it legally, I don't even need my parents or anyone's support to take over everything."

Clapping her hands, Flora wiped away her nonexistent tears and started hooting, "You go brother, you rock."

Amantha sighed and helplessly shook her head, "Flora you—" she stopped midway when Tylor gestured her not to say anything.

"Tylor," she threateningly whispered.

Grinning from ear to ear, he chuckled, "What honey? She is having fun so don't spoil it."

Wrapping his arms around his mother's shoulder, Guiren announced, "We will definitely invite everyone over for dinner after my father's condition is stable."

"Yes, you people are yet to meet my daughter-in-law officially," Mother Zhang added.

"You—"

Cutting the second uncle off, Grandpa Zhang roared, "Are the people of this family not educated? Don't you people have any sense? This is a hospital not a public meeting place so all of you better get out of here before asking my guards to kick you all out."

"Flora, wasn't grandpa out of town?" Meili inquired.

Flora nodded her head and answered, "Yes, I have no idea what he's doing here. Maybe he rushed back after hearing about the accident."

Without uttering a single word, everyone quickly left except for Flora and her family.

Patting Tylor's shoulder, grandpa Zhang sighed, "Thanks for handling everything in my absence son, I know you don't like getting involved in family matters but this was important."

"You don't have to thank me father, what is family for?" Tylor smiled.
