When Song Qinghuan rushed to the Bureau of Civil Affairs, it was already five minutes past 9 am.
She looked around. She didn’t see “Manager Zhao” anywhere. She thought “Manager Zhao” might’ve left because it was past their meeting time and he might’ve assumed she wasn’t coming. She wanted to leave but a cool black sedan suddenly stopped beside her.
Song Qinghuan wasn’t knowledgeable about cars but when she saw the sedan, she thought it looked extravagant and expensive.
The car window wound down slowly. Shi Yuhan’s astonishingly handsome and expressionless face appeared in Song Qinghuan’s eyes.
“Get in the car.” He looked at her. His black eyes seemed to be immersed in ice; it was chilling to look at him.
Song Qinghuan walked over anxiously and opened the passenger side door then climbed in.
It was very quiet in the car. She could hear her breathing clearly.
The man seemed to be reprimanding her for being late with his cold and eerie aura.
She was only five minutes late, so Song Qinghuan felt that it wasn’t a big deal. She moved her lips and said, “I wasted some time because I needed to go back home to get my household register booklet. I’m agreeing to marry you but you must allow me to work at Era Group. Also, you must ensure that I won’t get fired in the first year.”
She looked at him. This was the first time she looked at him carefully. His features were beautiful and exquisite. However, he didn’t appear feminine at all. He was cold, fierce, and hard to talk to but his actions were elegant and refined. You could tell that he had a good upbringing.
Yet, he didn’t seem gentlemanly. He didn’t even know how to treat ladies gently.
Shi Yuhan looked at her. “Of course.”
Song Qinghuan heaved a sigh of relief. Then she looked at him seriously and continued, “Okay, I have three conditions. First, the marriage will last for one year instead of two. In one year, we will get a divorce.”
One year should be enough for her to investigate the whereabouts of her older brother and the truth behind his so-called embezzlement.
Song Qinghuan paused for a moment before speaking again. Her soft tone carried a hint of awkwardness as she said, “Second, no matter what happened yesterday, we’re just a fake couple. We won’t have any intimate relationship. Third, if either of us meets our true love in the process, the other party mustn’t prevent or destroy their relationship. We won’t restrict each other’s freedom.”
After stating her three criteria, Song Qinghuan blinked and looked at Shi Yuhan. She waited silently for his reply.
Shi Yuhan didn’t reply. He took out a piece of paper from his document file and placed it in front of Song Qinghuan. “This is the divorce agreement. Sign it!”
What? Song Qinghuan’s mind went blank. She suspected that she heard wrong. The divorce agreement? Weren’t they talking about marriage? Why did he suddenly jump to divorce?
Shi Yuhan looked at her intently with a small smile at the corner of his lips. “I will give you ten million after we divorce. That’s your pay for two years.”
