The Feng family had managed to convince the Gu family to help them take over Feng Ji International. As the young master of the Gu family had his eyes on Feng Ci, it was easy to obtain their help as long as Feng Ci agreed to marry Gu Tianchan. 

As soon as he found out that a collaboration was possible, Old Master Feng had called back his daughter and arranged a meeting between her and Gu Tianchan. Obviously. Feng Ci was unhappy about this but since her parents had promised that she could break up with Gu Tianchan as soon as his family helped the Feng family out, she could only bear with it. 

"Sister-in-law, you are such a good match with my brother." Gu Tianxi deliberately gushed. 

"Really? Tianchan is so handsome. It's an honor to be considered a good match with him." Feng Ci pretentiously said before turning aside and sneering secretly. How could Gu Tianchan possibly be as good as Ji Xiehan? Heaven knew how disgusted she really was. 

Gu Tianchan was handsome alright, but he was one of the infamous playboys of B City who only used their second heads to think. He swapped women faster than anyone could count them and marriage was nowhere in the list of things he wanted to do. Yet this time, he had actually sworn that Feng Ci was the woman he truly loved and the only one he would marry. It would have been touching to some other women, perhaps, but it disgusted her to the core. 

The thought of having to humor the man and pretend to be equally in love with him riled her up even more. Gu Tianxi's taunting was even worse to her ears, and only her father's glare stopped her from flipping up. 

How could she not know? Gu Tianxi was only trying to get her closer to Gu Tianchan because she was in love with Ji Xiehan and was trying to eliminate a love rival. 

She forced a smile and said, "But what about the Lin family? They are helping out the Ji family. After all, the two families have been close for years." 

Gu Tianxi smiled through her bloody red lips. "Why are you so worried, sister-in-law? The Lin family is easy to deal with. We only have to use Lin Jian to distract them and I can do that without having to bat an eyelid." 

"Forget about Lin Jian and the Lin family. My dear, shouldn't you give me a tour around here?" Gu Tianchan sn.a.k.e.d an arm around Feng Ci's waist, infuriating her to the core even though she pretended to like it and even stroked the back of his hand as she nodded. 

As soon as the two of them left the room, the rest cheered jubilantly as they tossed to their collaboration that was going all too smoothly. 

"So how will we deal with the Lins?" Mrs. Feng asked. 

"Don't worry. I can handle him." Gu Tianxi said meaningfully. 

"Tianxi no! I can't have you seduce a worthless man just for the sake of..." She almost blurted something out when Gu Tianxi patted her shoulder and interrupted. 

"Mother, you have nothing to worry about. That man is going to get messed up but I'm definitely not going to stoop so low." 

Mrs. Gu was relieved. It didn't matter if other women agreed to get married for collaboration's sake but if her daughter was going to do the same, she was only allowed to marry a more reasonable man.

Outside. 

"What do you like to eat?" Gu Tianchan asked one more of his boring questions. 

"I'm not picky. She smiled at him but when he was not looking, she sneered silently. Someone kill this man already! 

Gu Tianchan let out a smile, making his handsome face brighten up. "I'm glad our families decided on this collaboration." He said, looking at her gently even though all it made her feel was utter annoyance. 

"Ever since I saw you, I've been trying to get close to you. I know this sounds like a playboy asshole's classic line but trust me Feng Ci, I fell in love with you at first sight. Ever since then, U have tried to get closer to you. It was just too difficult considering how you didn't even ever have time for me. That, and your attraction to that person..." 

Feng Ci was not even listening to a word he was saying, much less believing what he had just said. She was only startled when she heard him say that he was happy their families had decided to make this collaboration. 

"Can we go back now?" She said just a few minutes later. 

"Sure." 

Feng Ci didn't know it, but Gu Tianchan was actually in love with her. She thought that he had readily agreed to go back because just like her, he was bored. On the contrary, it was because he did not want to offend the woman he had spend so much effort to be able to get close to.

After blowing her a kiss on the cheek and making her almost unable to stop herself from puking her guts out, they went back into the house holding hands.

"Mother, I don't want to marry that man! It's nauseating just looking at his face!" Feng Ci exploded as soon as the Gus had been walked out. 

"Shush!" Madam Feng pulled her daughter aside. "Who said you would marry him?" 

"But you were so enthusiastic while discussing marriage." Feng Ci pulled at her hair in frustration. 

"Don't be silly. You only have to play along and get engaged. You will part ways before the wedding." 

"But how is that possible? He seems so charmed and... they would not just let me off after spending so much money to help our family." 

Mrs. Feng smirked at that. "That's why a few days before the wedding, we will make him cheat on you." 

"You don't mean..." 

"Don't be such a silly girl. You will marry whoever you want. As for Ji Xiehan... heh. Since he's of no use now..." 

"You cannot do anything to him." Feng Ci interrupted. 

"Of course I'll do something to him." Mrs. Feng let out a sinister laugh. "I will turn him into your toy."
