11 Marriage details
Anna Jones looked at Hou Yi and said, "Yi will you and I go and get married."
Looking Anna in the eye, Hou Yi responded quietly but clearly "Yes let us go and do so.But are you certain that you understand what you are getting yourself in for."
Anna looked at him."I am a lawyer by training.Yes, in what some people might consider a backwater in Australia, but a lawyer is a lawyer, we understand and apply the law.I understand what marriage is about – the legal commitment of two people to each other.The rest we can work out between ourselves.And I think that I can cope with being the wife of a businessman, who employs a few people in his business …"
"But…", said Hou Yi trying to interrupt Anna Jones and correct her impression, as he realised, he had not told her about his family company.She just assumed that because his father and grandfather were willing to give it away for nothing then it was a small company, worth little, not the huge conglomerate it actually is, at the top of its field in the country and one of the top companies in the field in the world, as well as being one of the top Companies overall in the country.
"Please do not interrupt me, Yi.As I was saying I can cope with being the wife of a businessman, as long as he respects me and lets me work in some way to deal with the situation that that 'ar**h**e' has caused me.I need to pay off my debts that he has left me with and work out how I can fight at least to get back some of what he has stolen.Marrying you, will let me do that, and get my revenge on him, as well as saying that just because you did not want to marry me, it does not mean that someone does not want to marry me."
Hou Yi stopped himself from trying to correct her view that Hou Enterprises was simply a small company employing a few people.If he told her the truth about the family company, its wealth, his personal wealth and by implication the situation with the Lu's she would not cope.He could simply tell her the truth in the future when she needed to know.Not correcting her misunderstanding was not going to make any difference to the core reason about getting married to her.

Hou Yi glanced down at his watch and realised that only 10 minutes had passed since he commenced talking to Anna, and there had almost been a full circle in what was happening.He had come to get married, found a woman whose dreams had been shattered, then found out through her that his plans had been ruined and a new marriage was proposed.He could take the final step to achieve what he had come here to do in getting married.He would protect Hou Enterprises and help Ann get her revenge.At the same time he could get a revenge he did not realise that he needed, and would have a beautiful western wife to help him, and take complete control of the family company as his father and grandfather had promised if he attended the family compound with his wife tonight, and go the direction he wanted with it.All he had to do was figure out how to explain Anna, rather than who the family believed that he was marrying today.The details of how they met and all the other necessary information could be worked out before they arrived at the family compound.
"Given that you are certain, we can get married today." Pausing for a second Hou Yi looked at Anna Jones, thought about how she looked, and then said "Please do not take this the wrong way, but I think that you need to go into the bathroom, and wash your face, so that the officials do not wonder what I did to you to get you to marry me."
Anna Jones pulled out from her handbag, a makeup compact, and using the mirror looked at her face."Oh my god, I look shocking, I need to tidy up.Do you know where there is a bathroom"
