Arranged Marriage with a Fujoshi

Chapter 5:Define Gratitude

Han Jei is still looking down on her small feet, waiting for her father to talk.

"How would you define gratitude?" He suddenly asked.

"You impertinent child! You have the decency to use your phone and ignore me?!" His father boomed furiously.

Han Jie snapped back, "Father, you are being unfair! I was trying to answer you! Look!" She then let the man look at the screen of her phone.

"Gratitude... the quality of being thankful, readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness." Han Feng read it slowly until his face turned black in anger.

His rebellious daughter looked at the answer from the internet and has him read it!

Han Feng does not know if he will laugh or get annoyed for her daughter's way of making her life easy. So conflicting!

Nevertheless, their conversation will get out of hand if he loses his temper. "Fine. Then how will you repay someone to show your gratitude? Don't use the damn internet!" He asked through clenched teeth feeling like talking to a kid.

Whenever he looks at this daughter of her, Han Feng feels sad that she does not have any motivation to show her true capability.

If people just know how great his second daughter is and what are the other things that can do aside from her scandalous drawings, they will line up to ask for her hand on marriage.

"Father, what is wrong with you? Are feeling dumb today?" Han Fei asked in a snarky way.

"Enough! Just answer!" Han Feng finally loses his patience, but eventually calmed himself down.

Han Jie bit her lip, displeased. Before, if her father is furious at her, he would ask her to leave. Now, her usual annoyance tactic is not working.

'This is serious.' Han Jie thought to herself. The old man needs her cooperation, thus bearing her for this long.

"I would return the favor equally." Han Jie answered truthfully.

Han Feng nodded in agreement, "Then I cannot give my life to show my gratitude." He said.

"Your life?! Father, what are you talking about?!" Han Jie stood up anxiously.

Why are they talking about life now? Is this a threat?

"Oho! So you care about me? That is good to know at least." He replied, relieved.

"Father! Don't joke around! Who would want your life as gratitude? That person is evil!" Han Jie hissed furiously. Is her father being threatened by someone?

"Hehe. No, no." Han Feng feeling delighted with his daughter's worry, decided to explain. "Do you know the relationship I have shared and still sharing with the Suzuki's?" He asked.

"Ah, no." Han Jie also does not care. She is aware that her family is doing business with the Suzuki family of Country J.

However, she does not involve herself with such things. The only Suzuki that she knows is the one that looks exactly like her created character that she name 'Master Shu'.

'Hmm speaking of… Master Shu should look good on a tuxedo or yukata as he commands Ryu to be a good boy while they-' the exciting part of her thoughts was interrupted when her father shouted.

"What are you grinning at?! Are you even listening to me?!" Han Feng questioned exasperated.

Han Jie pouted, "Father, I was trying to think what the Suzuki's looks like." She lied. Of course, she cannot tell her father that she was imagining two male on a foreplay, can she?

"Tsk. Pay attention!" Seeing that his daughter agreed, he decided to engage in another strategy. He stood up from where he was sitting and moved close to his daughter, sitting on the couch's armrest. "You and your sister are my only children. My treasures, I can't see a dungeon and push any of you to it. You should know I want the best for both of you."

Han Jie can agree as her father may not be the best father in the world. Their well being is still the priority. One proof is Jonah and the other guards who occasionally check on her when she was staying in the cottage.

Still, for Han Jie, if it will not make her happy, there is no point agreeing to what her father thinks is the best.

"Father, I understand. Please understand as well that since Mei'er always follows your wishes, she must have a reason to leave and refuse the arrangement." She explained softly.

Han Feng stood up from the couch's armrest and looked at her gravely. "Your sister was bewitched. She eloped with someone!" He declared.

"Huh?! That is impossible! Who is it?" She refused to believe that her sister will decide to flee. It's a modern age! People talk things out after thinking thoroughly and not do something so irresponsible!

Han Jie cannot believe it, because her sister did not even tell her that she has that plan! They say major decision like this to each other!

She has an idea where her sister is staying at if Han Mei wants to be left alone for a while. She usually covers for Han Mei after all, ever since they enjoyed mimicking each other.

When they are really into it, even their parents would have a hard time telling which one is which unless they check their birthmarks.

Her initial plan is to delay meeting her father and talk to her sister first. However, Han Mei's phone is not reachable to avoid being tracked by their father.

So Han Jie has no choice but to check their secret place personally.

Elope? That is crazy. "Father, you are making up a story." Han Jie commented truthfully as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"You think I am lying?!" Han Feng replied furiously. "I don't care, I will find out who it is and will make sure your sister returned. While we are looking, you will replace her whether you like it or not!"

"Father! That is stupid! The Suzuki family will notice it!" More like, Han Jie is determined for them to notice.

Han Feng refused to relent, "Enough! That is final! Else, I will make sure that your scandalous drawings will be banned for distribution!"

"You cannot do that! I won't allow you to!" Han Jie will not back down whatever happens…
