Xiao Lang sighed as he opened the door to his penthouse. Goddamn. I need a drink. I also need a wife to shut these Elders and my Mah Ma. They need to mind their own business.

"Xiao Lang you need to get married. You're 24 you need a wife, I got married when I was 18!" I don't care!

"Xiao Lang you need an heir soon or else your sister's son will be the next heir and not your own son!" I don't care!

"Xiao Lang you need a good and beautiful wife who will take care of you!" I don't fucking care!

He walked to his kitchen, dropped his bags on his center island, opened the refrigerator, and drank from the milk carton. Someone coughed behind him and said his name. It was his old maid Ms Leung.

"Mr Li, I'm here to introduce your new live-in maid, Song Xiu Ying (it's Sakura!)," Ms Leung said after she bowed to Xiao Lang with Xiu Ying.

"Hello, Ms Song. I'm Li Xiao Lang, your new employer." Xiao Lang did not actually need to introduce himself. He's Li Xiao Lang. The heir of the Li Clan and the Vice-President of Li Corps. Bachelor of the Year for 3 consecutive years after he celebrated his 21st year. Xiao Lang noticed that the girl is a head shorter than him with big round bright green eyes, and her hair is the color of brown, almost orange. She'd look fuckable if she tries, but then again who cares if you do it in the dark.

"Nice to meet you, Mr Li, my name is Song Xiu Ying. I hope you'll find my services satisfactory." Xiu Ying at first wasn't nervous about meeting her new employer but now she is very scared. Li Xiao Lang was a very tall man with sharp brown eyes that matched his messy dark chestnut hair. Not to mention that he was also very attractive. She was trying not to look away but she wanted to give him a good impression.

"Well that's it then. I am leaving now Mr Li. Thank you for hiring me all these years," Mr Leung laughed and bowed to Xiao Lang to leave. Xiao Lang thanked her and dismissed Xiu Ying and Ms Leung.

After Xiao Lang showered and changed, he hopped on to his bed and checked his emails but when he was on the home page, something caught his eye.

Li Xiao Lang is rumored to marry a mystery heiress in an arranged marriage.

Damn I really need to marry a woman asap. Gotta find a girl before I am forced to marry any of those ugly inbred heiresses. I'll probably just pay them then get rid of them when I eventually find a woman I could theoretically live my whole life with and have kids with. Damn those Elders. How can I live forever with one woman if there are enough to fuck a different one every week? I don't understand. I'll never understand. But I really do need to marry a random girl. God any girl would do as long as she's not a fucking crack head.

Wait.

Holy shit.

My new maid is old enough.

I'll ask her tomorrow...

Xiao Lang woke up with a knock on his bedroom door. Hmm it's just 7 am and someone is already knocking on my fucking door. What kind of joke is this? It's Sunday morning for god's sake!

"Mr Li! I prepared breakfast for you," a voice called out from outside his door.

Who the... oh yeah my new maid. He got off his bed and then went to the kitchen to eat on his breakfast table. On his table was a plate of egg and bread and milk tea.

"I hope you'll like them, Mr Li. I heard you always skip breakfast and I thought it would do you good to have breakfast at least once a week," Xiu Ying smiled at him. Xiao Lang mumbled thanks and started to eat his food with a fork and his fingers. Then he drank some milk tea.

Holy shit it's really good for a breakfast. "Marry me."

note: Sakura has 2 names here: Xiu Ying and Sakura. I don't know if the name is Mandarin or Cantonese and I don't know if it matters lol I also don't know if I wrote Mah Ma wrong. If you know Cantonese or anything about names in the Hongkong culture, please tell me so.

I'm trying so hard to make this seem as realistic as it can be.

Anyways, hi guys, I'm Ksama. I've been reading CCS fics since last year and it's my first time writing one for this fandom. It's been so long since I last wrote one. I know it's not the best and it would be nice if someone would tell me what's wrong with my gremmer or my speleng or better yet, be my Beta lol

I don't actually know if inbredding can happen in China/Hongkong bc too many people but it most probably be like European royalty?

thanks for reading Hold Me Close, everyone. Please tell me if you like it then I will upload the next chapter next week. Thank you!
