Seeing that Xie Jingyu would never take no for an answer, Yu Huiyin angrily stomped her foot on the ground, but it did not alleviate her anger in the slightest.
This bedroom with the connected bathroom and walk-in closet was already bigger than the flat that Yu Feihong and Grandfather Han were living in, and she reigned in her anger.
Wasn't it just acting as someone's wife? She would be paid handsomely for this, and she could also improve the living conditions of her family; it was not so bad.
Trying to convince herself was going quite well. Yu Huiyin had always been a person who looked at the bright side of life and found the most positive sides to the darkest situation.
The bedroom was magnificent with big floor-to-ceiling windows, a king-size bed in the middle and a couch against the wall, right between the doors leading to the bathroom and the walk-in closet.
The colors were all kept to a dark palette, and no paintings or other items were adorning the bedroom's walls. It was cold and did not feel at all like a home.
Sighing, Yu Huiyin moved to the couch and sat down. She patted the seat beside her as she looked at Xie Jingyu.
Understanding her gestures, a smile erupted on the handsome man's face, he was unable to hold back as he hurried to her side and sat down.
"What is it, dear?" he asked with his mellow and intoxicating voice. Hearing it made Yu Huiyin shiver slightly, but she quickly got a hold of herself again.
"I am still not very used to the whole thing, so let us be frank with one another. What is it you need from me, and what is it that you will give me in return?" Yu Huiyin had a frown on her beautiful face, causing Xie Jingyu to reach out his hand and smoothen her brows, his actions stunning her.
She had never been this close to a man before, and her face slowly turned crimson as she quickly turned it away from him.
Xie Jingyu snickered secretly. So she was not entirely immune to his charms.
Outwardly, he did not show his feeling of success. Instead, he began answering the questions that Yu Huiyin had asked.
"I need you to act like my wife. That means that you will go to my family with me, and you will act as if you genuinely love me.
"I will give you fifty thousand yuan a month for the job as my wife, look at it as spending money. But if you need something like clothes or the like, then I will, of course, pay for it for you.
"At the same time, I will give you a job as my assistant. The salary of one of my assistants is actually not to be belittled either; it is twenty-five thousand yuan a month."
Hearing these numbers made Yu Huiyin numb. It was so much money, she had never expected it to be this overwhelming.
With so much money, she would be able to save up a lot for when they divorced, and she could give Yu Feihong a good life and help him go to University!
Money makes the world go around, and Xie Jingyu had accurately grasped Yu Huiyin's weak point. As long as he threw money at her, she would be less hostile towards him.
Of course, he knew she would not sell herself for money. Had she known of the clauses in the contract before signing it, then she would never have signed it, but now that she had, she was going to get the best out of it.
"We cannot make our wedding public," Yu Huiyin suddenly said, making Xie Jingyu frown. He had wanted to hold the wedding ceremony of the century, giving her the most magnificent wedding in the entire country.
Seeing his displeased expression, Yu Huiyin quickly explained, "at least not yet!
"Listen to me, my grandfather and brother do not know about you at all; how can I suddenly come home and tell them I am married? They will know I was tricked and they will hate you. They will also blame themselves, and I will feel horrible."
Hearing that her family would hate him made him hesitate. The wedding ceremony could be delayed in that case. Although he wanted the world to know sooner, he was not going to jeopardize his relationship with her family.
"Okay, but you have to introduce me to them as your boyfriend, and slowly make them accept our relationship so that we can announce our wedding after some time."
This was the best compromise that Xie Jingyu would make. If she was against it, then he would announce their wedding to the world the following day.
Understanding the frustrations brewing in the man's eyes, Yu Huiyin smiled sweetly and nodded her head obediently, "that's fine," she said.
Seeing her smile at him, Xie Jingyu forgot all about being unhappy. She was simply able to change his emotions with a mere smile, and he started to feel disgusted with himself. Since when had he become such a love fool?
"Well, since that is all planned, we have on more place we need to go to," Xie Jingyu said smilingly. He looked at Yu Huiyin and nodded his head. She was presentable and beautiful. Anyone who saw her would have good feelings towards her.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
"Old man, are you home today?" he asked happily, and while Yu Huiyin could not hear what was said on the other end, she was shocked that he called the man as 'Old man,' that was not at all respectful!
"I am coming back home today; I will bring a big surprise for you."
