Fei Mo's expression was no longer as cold as before. Upon seeing this, Yun Yi sighed in relief inwardly. It seemed like he was not angry. He had spoken nonchalantly, as though he was talking about the weather. Despite that, she took it as a good sign. After all, if he was truly uninterested after reading her proposal, he would have left immediately. Now, it was time for her to use her gift of speech that she had cultivated from work to good use. Her eyes flashed with confidence as she tried to convince him. "Indeed, Fei Corporation has its internal Public Relations Department. However, I'm a very assertive person, and I always take the initiative in my work. With me in your company, you can rest assured that I'll actively work to protect the company. I believe none of your employers are like me in this regard." She paused for a beat before she continued to say, "Most importantly, President Fei, you're 32 years old this year. You're extraordinarily handsome, 1.88 meters tall, and you come from a prominent family. You can be considered as a perfect man. Over the years, you haven't been embroiled in any dating scandal. You've never even attended any event with a female companion. For this reason, it's widely reported that you're homosexual. It's only natural that parents won't be happy hearing such news about their child. I've heard that your grandfather has ordered you to find a wife within a month…"
At this moment, Yun Yiyi placed another document on the table. Her eyes were clear when she looked at Fei Mo. "I apologize for investigating your affairs, President Fei…" After she apologized, she said, "This month, you've gone on blind dates with eight socialites. After meeting them once, there's no progress at all. If I'm not mistaken, your grandfather must have been pestering you every day with phone calls, urging you to pick one of the women to marry. The main point is tomorrow is the last day of the deadline…"
Fei Mo was slightly surprised by the extent of Yun Yiyi's research. He looked at the document in front of him and cocked an eyebrow.
Yun Yiyi said, "This is a prenuptial agreement. President Fei, please have a look… My conditions are very simple. I'm not after your money, and I don't want any money from you. In fact, there's no need to spend money on a lavish wedding as well. My only conditions are for our marriage to remain purely business. Therefore, we would have no physical relations at all. Second, our marriage will last for five years, and during that time, I'll work for Fei Corporation without pay. After five years, our contract will end. I will not interfere with your matters, and I expect you to do the same. Even if you have affairs with other women outside, I won't say anything about it..."
Yun Yiyi had nothing; she only had herself. If she failed to get married in three days, she would lose herself to Gu Jingyan. At that time, she would truly have nothing. Five years were neither long nor short, and it might not be a big deal to Fei Mo. She was willing to use five years of her youth to protect herself and her future. It was worth it.
Yun Yiyi did not hesitate and continued to say, "I will be frank with you, President Fei. I need to get married urgently. Based on my investigation, it's clear we have a common goal since you need to get married urgently as well. Although it'll be my second marriage and I'm a divorcee, you won't have to worry about me being a trophy wife who only spends your money buying luxury goods every day. Instead, I'll work for you, free of charge. Moreover..."
Fei Mo's sharp eyes contained a slight and rare trace of smile at this moment as he stared at Yun Yiyi. Without waiting for her to finish speaking, he rose to his feet, picked up his laptop, and turned to leave.
When Yun Yiyi saw this, a hint of panic appeared on her face that had been calm earlier. She wondered if her conditions were too excessive.
Fei Mo stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Yun Yiyi who had fallen into a daze before he said in a low voice, "What are you waiting for? If we're late, the Civil Affairs Bureau will close."
A delighted expression appeared on Yun Yiyi's face immediately. "Okay." She was so excited she felt as though she was going to faint. She would no longer be manipulated by others and had taken control of her own fate! Heavens! She actually managed to convince the cold Fei Mo to marry her! This was even more satisfying than scoring an interview with the President of China.
She hurriedly grabbed her documents and followed Fei Mo out. Although he was walking at a moderate speed, due to his long legs, she had to walk quite fast to catch up to him since she was wearing high heels.
When they walked out of the cafe, she saw a Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the entrance.
A driver alighted from the car and respectfully opened the car door.
Fei Mo handed the laptop to the driver and got into the car gracefully.
Without the slightest hint of hesitation, Yun Yiyi got into the car as well. Since she managed to convince Fei Mo to marry her, she was not that stupid to drive herself to the Civil Affairs Bureau. What if he changed his mind?
After she entered the car, she handed the documents in her hand to Fei Mo. Due to her good mood, her smile had gotten brighter. She said in a gentle and polite tone, "Please sign the contract first, President Fei."
Fei Mo, who had been staring at Yun Yiyi the entire time, was slightly taken aback when he saw her smile. He quickly regained his senses and said, "There's no need to sign the contract."
Yun Yiyi was perplexed. She smiled and jokingly said, "President Fei, if you don't sign the contract, aren't you afraid I'll go back on my words after we get married?"
"I believe you," Fei Mo said confidently as he stared at Yun Yiyi.
Yun Yiyi raised her eyebrows. "Thank you for your trust, but I think you should hold on to the contract. Sign it when you feel like it."
Fei Mo did not reply to her. Instead, he said coldly, "Ah Qing, play Time in a bottle."
After that, a soothing melody began to play in the car.
Yun Yiyi's smile brightened. "I like this song as well! I like listening to it especially when I'm in a good mood."
A hint of surprise flashed in Fei Mo's eyes. His eyes seemed to have softened some when he looked at Yun Yiyi.
…
At the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Yun Yiyi stood next to Fei Mo. At 1.68 meters tall, she looked frail standing next to him. She had to raise her head just to look at him.
On the other hand, Fei Mo who was 1.88 meters tall had to lower his head whenever he looked at her.
At this moment, Fei Mo said meaningfully, "It's not too late for you to change your mind now..."
Yun Yiyi smiled faintly. "I took the initiative to look for you so I have no intention of changing my mind."
Fei Mo looked at Yun Yiyi intently as she walked into the Civil Affairs Bureau.
As soon as they walked in, the sky that had been cloudy the entire day finally began to rain.
…
When Yun Yiyi looked at the red marriage certificate in her hands, she could not help but smile bitterly. She did not imagine she would get married twice. However, it was necessary if she wanted to free herself from Gu Jingyan. She was rather satisfied with this result despite everything.
Fei Mo did not see the bitter smile that appeared, and disappeared as quickly, on Yun Yiyi's face. He was looking at the marriage certificate expressionlessly.
From afar, both of them looked very well-matched.
At this moment, Yun Yiyi's mobile phone rang. After listening to what the other person on the line said, she said, clearly shocked, "I'll be there immediately."
After she hung up, she said to Fei Mo, "I'm sorry, President Fei. I have something urgent to attend to. I left my business card along with the documents in your car. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to contact me."
"I'll get the driver to send you."
"No need. There's a subway nearby," Yun Yiyi said with a smile. After bidding farewell to Fei Mo, she quickly left the Civil Affairs Bureau.
To be able to make someone who was calm and composed like Yun Yiyi lose her cool, it must have been an urgent matter.
When Fei Mo finally exited the Civil Affairs Bureau, he discovered it was raining heavily.
Ah Qing, his driver, hurriedly stepped forward and held an umbrella to shield him from the rain. He asked anxiously, "Young master, did you really get married to Miss Yun? This is her second marriage… Young master, you've never been married prior to this, but you've gone ahead and married a divorcee… If the old master finds out about this, he'll definitely be angry…"
Ah Qing was not only Fei Mo's driver, but he was also Fei Mo's bodyguard. Previously, he had been sitting nearby in the cafe and had overheard Yun Yiyi and Fei Mo's conversation. However, since Yun Yiyi was around earlier, he did not think it was appropriate to say anything.
Ah Qing said in an attempt to persuade Fei Mo, "Young master, her status isn't compatible with yours at all. Moreover, she's Gu Jingyan's ex-wife. If news of this gets out, what will the public think of you? They… they might say you… you're picking up Gu Jingyan's discarded toy."
