After a short reunion, Guo Guo went back to work to avoid suspicions. From their conversation, Ya Nuo found out that Yang Qiu Rei wanted to have a dinner where both families meet to officially set up the engagement, but since nobody ever saw how she looked, the heir requested to meet with her first. This was why Yang Qiu Rei spent over millions of dollars on her outfit and jewelry. He needed her to look presentable. According to what Guo Guo said, Yang Qiu Rei set out an announcement stating that Ya Nuo is at the age where she should settle down for marriage and those who are interested can send their sons information to him.
Ya Nuo mumbled to herself, "This sly fox probably went through the proposals and took the one with the highest benefit for his business. But who the heck would want to be in laws with this pig? Escaping is not a problem, but I can't leave Guo Guo and other friends here. Need to figure out a way to get them out of this house ugh.."
The door rattled open and Yang Qiu Rei entered the room disrespectfully without knocking on the door. Ya Nuo's eyes looked at the door for a second before it rolled back to looking at the dull colored ceiling.
Yang Qiu Rei: "Not going to greet me?"
Ya Nuo: "Do you deserve my respect? Learn to knock next time. Maybe you'll walk in on a naked woman and end up locked up in jail or chopped to pieces by a group of mafia one day."
Yang Qiu Rei controlled the tone of his voice, "This is my house so I own everything in here. What's wrong with not knocking on the door before entering a room that belongs to me?"
She sat up on the bed and replied without turning to look at him, "The house may be yours, but the people inside the house belongs to themselves. You don't own anyone in this house. If you want others to respect you, then respect them first. I know you're here for something. Speak up, I don't want to breathe in the same room as you."
Yang Qiu Rei smirked, "Smart girl. I'm here to make a deal with you. Remember the deal I told you about earlier? Do you still want to reject it?"
Ya Nuo: "The deal you're talking about is basically a schemed murder plan that you want me to be an accomplice to. You want me to marry the heir of that family and give birth to that man's child. While I'm pregnant with his child, you want me to poison him slowly so that once the baby is born, he will die. Not only that, my child will be a boy regardless of what gender I give birth to. If my baby is a girl, you'll have the nurse or doctor swap my child with another family. This type of dramatic family feud you came up with really only happens in dramas. Which part of this makes any sense to you hmm?"
Yang Qiu Rei: "That's only the process of it. You only have to do that, and I'll share with you a huge portion of the benefit that I get later. It's a fair offer."
Ya Nuo wrinkled the bed sheets with her fingernails, "You think that one human life is worth 40 million dollars? You think one life is worth even a number value in this world? You can poison him if you want to, but it definitely wont involve me. In fact, I'll be telling my future in laws and husband about this. Even if we don't end up getting married, I wouldn't give a damn. Do you know why? Because this is a set up by you."
Yang Qiu Rei: "How about I change the deal? I won't kill him, and you won't have to poison him either. You just have to marry and keep the bedroom alive so that he will listen to everything you say. All you have to do is be a good daughter in law and wife without blackening my reputation. In exchange, I'll agree to whatever conditions you want other than getting any money and land property from me. What do you think?"
Ya Nuo thought about it for a bit, "That depends on how the man treats me and if he is acceptable. I'm tired. If you're done, get out."
She covered herself with the blanket signaling how much she hated talking to him. Before he walked out of the room, he said, "Oh right, your future husband wants to meet you personally at a restaurant first before deciding on the engagement party. I already agreed for you on your behalf. You better play along and not embarrass me, or I'll take my rage out on the maids and butlers while you're present. Remember, anything you wish for can come true if you take up my offer. If not, I'll make everyone's life a living hell, especially yours."
After he left, Ya Nuo got out of bed and sat on the swinging chair that is facing the bed.
'If I agree to please the guy whom I'll be marrying, then I can put out the request for Guo Guo and everyone else to be freed from their lifelong contract. Hmm, this is harder than I thought because knowing him, he won't easily hand over those contracts. He will have to see some proof in order to believe in me too. I guess I'll have to wait till after the dinner.'
/Day of the dinner meeting
That afternoon, Ya Nuo was forced to do a spa and massage by a professional. All her body hair was waxed and special soothing hydration body cream was applied to her entire body. She had a facial and makeup done. After the facial, her former great skin looked even smoother and poreless. The only thing that the makeup artist had to do was draw her eyebrows, apply a light shade of eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, and lip tint. Ya Nuo had a great side profile so she only needed slight touchups. Since her skin was near perfect, she didn't need any foundation or coverage, which makes it easier to do the rest of the makeup.
After everything was done and she finished getting ready, Yang Qiu Rei walked her to the car and reminded her, "If you dare play any tricks or say anything wrong tonight, the maids and butlers will suffer."
They got there half an hour ahead of the meeting time and Ya Nuo sat at the emptied table. She felt utterly uncomfortable because she could feel the obvious spies in the restaurant who were watching her every move.
Fifteen minutes later, the restaurant door opened slowly and a man in an expensive suit with a black tie walked in. He was holding a bouquet of roses and walked towards Ya Nuo's direction. When he reached the table, he smiled,"I thought I was early, but you came earlier than me. This is our first meeting, I'm Xu Huan Hei. Nice to meet you."
