Pregnant Child President
35. Weddings
“Halo, Mr. Lee. See Mrs Luciella soon. Tell him to immediately complete the file I asked for,” Lian told Lee who was across the street.
Gia was still sitting limp on the bed, staring confusedly at Lian who was standing beside the window. “What file is he talking about?” inner Gia.
“Tell Mrs Luciella too, I will marry her daughter in Milan. Tonight!” Just as the last sentence was spoken, Lian turned her head to look at Gia.
The deg!
“Me–married?” muttered Gia. “Wait, President?”
“You've heard it all, right?” Lian disconnects the call, approaching Gia. “I will prepare everything, you just need to prepare yourself.”
“Either why it feels so strange, I should be happy, right?” gia said in her heart. “But ... why Lian's expression can be like that.”
“I'll be out for a while, if you need anything you can contact me.” Lian stepped towards the door.
“Presdir, wait!” exclaim Gia.
“Why?” Lian.
“Presdir .. are you forced to do this? I mean, you married me for being forced?” Gia was unsure, but seeing Lian's reaction after finding out she was pregnant made her doubtful.
Doesn't that man love her? Then why is it as if it's hurt to know Gia's pregnant with her child?
After a moment of silence, Lian said a sentence that made Gia even more confused. “You'll know later.” His voice was heavy, making a cold impression. Not like the Lian he knew last night.

“Doctor has given you permission to go home.”
The infusion has been removed from his hand. Gia got out of bed. “How about your meeting?”
“I've asked Mr. Lee to anoint everything.” Let alone the sound, the intonation of speech feels cold.
“Sorry, I messed it all up.”
Lian just kept quiet, carrying Gia's neat stuff in one bag. “Ayo.”
The man even walked out of the room without a care for Gia who was left behind.
Looking at Lian's back from behind raises a question mark even bigger.
~♤~
“You want to eat something before we go to the boutique?” ask Lian, they're on their way.
Nothing has changed, his attitude is cold. As if it doesn't care. Several times he spoke without looking at Gia.
“I'm not hungry.” Gia bowed. Normally, Lian was most perceptive if something disturbed her mind. But this time, Gia had completely lost all of it.
“Okay, then we go to church now. Everyone is waiting.”
Gia was fixated, in her mind the person in question was the closest family. But upon arriving there, Gia did not see a single person she knew.
There were only a few people who would help her with makeup and changing clothes.
In the same room, Lian was preparing to wear a tuxedo. A woman helped him tie his back vest. Standing in front of the mirror, Lian stared at the reflection of Gia reflected there.
His focus was on Gia who kept daydreaming. “Why ... or maybe, you're the one here who objected to this wedding?” inner Lian. “No, Gia. I won't let you harm my future son again. This marriage will keep you under my watch for 24 hours.”
“It's done,” said a woman who just finished helping Gia wear a dress.
“Thank you.”
“Ya Lord .. Her bride is very beautiful.” Another woman who had just helped Gia approached Lian. “You are also very handsome, Sir. You two are both lucky, may your marriage be blessed with handsome and beautiful sons and daughters.”
“Thank you for the help.”
“Sama-sama, Sir. Soon your wedding ceremony will begin. Take your bride to the altar.” The woman smiled.
“Good, I'll meet my bride first.” Lian stepped up, approaching Gia.
Deg, deg, deg!
His chest thumped to see Lian approaching him. Gia was nervous, squeezing the dress she was wearing. Continuing to look down did not dare to look at Lian.
Gia was still downcast, even as Lian's different attitude made Gia hesitate, afraid to speak. “P–Presdir .. may I ask you something?”
Hm! Lian's attention was diverted to Gia's fingers down there, clearly looking very nervous. Squeezing each other.
“This wedding ... is very important to me. Will my mother and sister not come?”
Ppff! “Important? I didn't expect that word to come out of your mouth. How can a woman who intends to take the life of her own child assume that marriage is important?” he murmured in the heart. “Listen, we're miles away from your house. It took more than 10 hours to get here. While I can no longer wait. With or without the presence of your mother and sister .. we will stay married.”
This was her first time for Gia to see such a horrible expression on Lian's face. Marriage isn't it the relationship that will lead us to happiness? Why is Gia so scared?
Silent, inside the building to be used for their wedding ceremony was very quiet. There were only two people there, one witness and another would be the leader of their marriage.
“Please,” said the man asked the two brides to go up to the altar.
It didn't take long to make them into a couple.
It was time for Lian to take out a box containing a pair of rings, each of which alternately dressed her.
“The groom is welcome to kiss the woman.”
Gia was so nervous, imagining Lian would kiss her lips. But it turns out that Lian only kissed the forehead, it was a glance.
“Is something wrong? Or have I made Lian angry? Why has his attitude changed so much?” Gia's mind was full of questions. Normally, Lian was the most excited when it came to kissing. But this time it felt strange, it seemed like Lian was very uninterested in touching her.
“Why are you crying?” ask Lian.
“Sorry.” Rubbed his wet eyes. “It shouldn't be like this, there must be something wrong. Why do I feel so sad, shouldn't this be my day of happiness?”
~♤~
All the way back to the hotel, there was no conversation between them.
Seeing the serious expression on Lian's face made Gia dare not start the conversation.
Ting!
The elevator doors opened, they went inside. Standing far apart, Lian seemed to deliberately create a distance between them.
Gia misses Lian's reckless demeanor, suddenly kisses her, suddenly hugs her from behind even the events in the elevator a few times as Lian teases her making Gia miss. “I can't keep quiet, I want to know why Lian is like this,” she murmured inwardly.
“I've asked hotel employees to move all your belongings to my room,” said Lian, breaking the silence.
“Tapi–“
“Why do you mind if we stay in the room? Aren't we now husband and wife?” Lian glanced at a glance.
The deg!
Gia was surprised, her chest rustling with pain looking at the glances of her eyes. It depicts a stifled rage that Gia has never seen. “I must have seen it wrong, Lian couldn't possibly look at me like that.”
Ting!
The elevator opens, Lian exits without caring about Gia.
“Until when will you be there?” said Lian saw Gia still standing in the elevator.
Quickly Gia stepped out, catching up.
After opening the door, Lian took off the tie, dumping the tuxedo onto the chair. “Why are you standing there, don't tell me you're waiting for an order from me to sit on the sofa!”
Awkwardly, Gia then sat on the sofa as Lian stepped to the other side. Take something from the nightstand drawer.
“Read and understand its contents.” Lian put the map on the table. Give Gia time to read the contents of the file. While he was busy lighting the shop, he enjoyed every gust of white smoke at the door that connected him to the corridor.
Deg, deg, deg!
Like a dream in broad daylight, his chest seemed to be hit by a big hammer to cause immeasurable pain. Reading the contents of the file made Gia's eyes glazed over. “What does the content of this file mean?” Tears just soaked my cheeks.
Lian. “You still don't understand? Though I've written clearly there.”
“But ...”
“Should I say more clearly?” Lian was silent for a moment before continuing her sentence. “We will get divorced after this baby is born.”
