When Lu Weixi finished her last sentence, Qin Zhiyou finally put down the document in his hands. He raised his head and his slightly cold eyes shot out light that could see through people.

A shudder went through her as Lu Weixi paused slightly, perhaps because of the cold rainy weather as the eerie cold intentions were focused toward her. Then, she continued, “Add another fifty thousand dollars every month. For other times, I’ll abide by our agreement and obediently be your wife. I won’t ask about anything in relation to what you do and I won’t tell anyone about us. In front of Grandpa, I’ll try my best to put in a good word for you and be the perfect granddaughter-in-law. As for the child…”

Before Lu Weixi could finish her sentence, she saw Qin Zhiyou’s hand on the table suddenly clench and relax as he lightly knocked on the table. After a long while, his lips curved up in a smile. He was clearly smiling, but his facial expression was cold.

“I definitely won’t cause any trouble for you, so…”

Tilting his body, Qin Zhiyou leaned against the rotating chair as he waited for her to finish her sentence. One hand supported his chin and his piercing eyes studied her with a laidback arrogance. “Do you mean that I need to pay you an extra five hundred thousand dollars per month if I come back and accompany you every day?”

Lu Weixi immediately shook her head. “I didn’t…”

Qin Zhiyou waved his hands and interrupted her. Almost akin to choosing an object, he squinted and scrutinized her entire body before he slowly retracted his gaze and laughed. “No wonder Zhang Ailing said that marriage is a long-term dealー”

The blood in Lu Weixi’s entire body was about to freeze, as if someone had harshly slapped her across the face and it burned. She immediately sprung up and hurriedly walked out of the door.

Before she reached the door, someone suddenly grabbed her arm. Then, Qin Zhiyou forcefully pulled her back, causing her to lose her balance and stagger back a few steps, as the back of her legs hit the office table.

The man’s long and muscular body slowly inched toward her, as his cold eyes gleamed in a harsh light. She suddenly realized something and her back gradually broke out in cold sweat as her legs turned weak. “Qin Zhiyou, you…”

“Don’t you want the money anymore?” The man curved up his lips and his voice was just like the coffee he had just finishedーthick, coarse and tinged a sinister black. He waved his hands and swept away all the documents on the table. The flying papers were like her messy heart, the shock and humiliation making her want to avoid him.

Qin Zhiyou took another step forward, preparing to block her plan of escape. Then, he inched closer and his words were as cold as ice. “This way of calculation is too troublesome. Why don’t I buy you for a month, a year, or even your whole life?”

Lu Weixi was awoken by hurried beeps from her alarm. Scrunching her eyes closed again, she felt around the top of her bedside table, as she sleepily slapped at the offensive item until the noise finally stopped.

A reminder for the day was written on top: ‘Troublesome client coming to the office at 10 am.’

Lu Weixi was the interior designer of Lu Yuan Interiors, and she was the leader of a small team.

She was in a daze for quite some time, before she shook herself out of her stupor and turned around.

The man beside her was long gone, leaving behind a cup of plain water and a contraceptive pill on the bedside table.
