"The main point is, you're very likely to be able to cure Young Master Mu's illness! Look!" Wen Yanqing suddenly pointed at Mu Xingye, "Can you bear to watch such a bewitchingly handsome man die young? If you can cure him, it's like a feast for the eyes just to look at him, right?!"
"Right, right! Miss Xia, even though we've just met, I feel you must be a girl with a lot of compassion!" Qiao Yucong added fuel to the fire.
"Sorry, but on that early summer day, under the pleasant sun and gentle breeze... I fed my compassion to the dogs," Xia Pengpeng replied innocently.
Wen Yanqing and Qiao Yucong almost spat blood!
"Sorry, I really can't help, I must take my leave," Xia Pengpeng hurried towards the exit.
"The marriage agreement is only for three years, once the contract expires, no matter what my situation is, you are free to leave," Mu Xingye spoke calmly, completely ignoring Xia Pengpeng's refusal.
Xia Pengpeng turned and glanced at him, annoyed by his certainty that she would agree!
After a few seconds of eye contact, Xia Pengpeng averted her gaze guiltily. She thought to herself, how could she bear to reject a man causing such devastation with his beauty?
But it was a marriage agreement, after all!
"You could hire me as your assistant, or anything else, it doesn't necessarily have to be marriage."
"It saves me a lot of trouble to deal with it as a marriage agreement. With your situation, signing this document will only benefit you, not harm you."
Xia Pengpeng listened to his explanation and didn't find anything wrong with it.
He knew so much about her situation, about the Qin Family, and even knew Uncle Han; his background must be anything but simple.
If she refused, she was very likely to offend him and make an enemy for herself.
She sat back down and carefully read over the marriage agreement.
The agreement outlined that over the next three years, she had to cooperate with Wen Yanqing's research and find a method to overcome his severe allergic reaction.
She glanced at the man in the white coat next to her, and on his chest tag, she saw the name Wen Yanqing.
They were in this together!
Had she boarded a pirate ship? No, a pirate car!
They had conspired, hadn't they?
Last night's encounter with him might have been arranged by them in advance?!
She suddenly felt like a lab rat trapped in a cage with no escape and nowhere to turn!
"Miss Xia, rest assured, the so-called research just requires taking a little blood for tests occasionally, and then some intimate physical contact with Young Master Mu," Wen Yanqing explained, fearing that he might scare Xia Pengpeng away.
"What kind of physical contact does that include?" Xia Pengpeng asked Wen Yanqing with a blink of her beautiful eyes.
However, given this man's condition, he probably couldn't accept any overly intimate behaviors, right?
Thinking of this, Xia Pengpeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"All forms of contact between husband and wife," Mu Xingye suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Xia Pengpeng's mouth fell open in shock!
Qiao Yucong and Wen Yanqing exchanged glances.
Was Mu Xingye trying to flirt with the young lady? Were his spring emotions stirring? Did he want to indulge?!
After calming down for a few seconds, Xia Pengpeng realized that the man wasn't joking, "No, no, no! I don't want to be responsible for someone's death!"
Wen Yanqing and Qiao Yucong were struggling to hold back their laughter, about to suffer internal injuries from it!
Was that a show of disdain? The illustrious Young Master Mu also had a day when he was disdained.
Xia Pengpeng tidied up the contract, put it neatly in front of Mu Xingye, stood up, and prepared to make her escape...
