"To what extent can you accept this?" Mu Xingye asked directly, and seeing Xia Pengpeng not answering, he added, "Hand holding, hugging, kissing..."
"Hand holding! At most... a polite hug!" Xia Pengpeng immediately interrupted him, fearful that there might be some more not-suitable-for-children content coming next.
"Sign an agreement."
"Sign, sign what agreement?" Xia Pengpeng looked utterly confused.
"You've agreed," said Mu Xingye, looking up at Xia Pengpeng.
"I..." She wanted to object, but his cold gaze made her scalp tingle.
"If I sign this agreement, what specific benefits can I expect?" she asked, as she hadn't found these details. "I think we should list out all the scenarios, plain and clear on paper."
"No need to list."
No need to list?
Was he planning to have her sign a tyrannical treaty?
Xia Pengpeng immediately bristled!
"Don't you think this is too much? I am treating you! The ancients have said, one should repay kindness. Although I don't expect a debt of gratitude for each drop of water..."
"During the term of the agreement, you can do as you please!"
Wen Yanqing and Qiao Yucong by the side were so shocked their jaws could have dropped to the floor!
Do as you please?!
Was Young Master Mu offering himself in return for the treatment, even giving her free rein?!
The exchange of glances between Qiao Yucong and Wen Yanqing immediately became a bit mischievous!
Xia Pengpeng looked at Mu Xingye with a blank face, not yet catching on, "What did you just say?"
"I said, during the term of the agreement, you can do as you please," Mu Xingye repeated slowly.
"The 'do as you please' that you mentioned, means I can do whatever I want?" Xia Pengpeng was still a bit unclear.
"Hmm," Mu Xingye nodded.
Agree, or not agree? Two forces were wrestling inside Xia Pengpeng's head.
She felt that the man before her was too dangerous, and she should stay away...
"If you don't want to, I will call Han Jisen to pick you up. However, Han Jisen will receive a wedding invitation from the Qin Family tomorrow. Does your uncle have the strength to resist the Xia family and the Qin family? It seems, the term 'uncle' doesn't quite hold water when you call him that!"
Everything was under his control!
He actually knew all this!?
He sat there like an emperor who held the power of life and death, with those beautiful eyes dark as dry wells, revealing no emotion, only icy indifference!
"I agree!" Xia Pengpeng steeled her heart and went for it. "However, I have some conditions."
"Speak."
"We are marrying under an agreement; I don't want the outside world to know."
"Hmm," Mu Xingye hadn't thought about making the relationship public either.
"If I have any difficulties or needs, I will come to you, and you'll help me, right?" The words 'do as you please' made her feel very insecure.
"Hmm," Mu Xingye nodded.
"Alright! That puts me at ease."
Xia Pengpeng signed her name boldly.
"Ah Chi, send the young madam back to Mu Estate," Mu Xingye commanded in a deep voice.
Young madam? Xia Pengpeng had a hard time accepting this title and found it extremely awkward.
"Wait, I still haven't finished speaking! Also, can we not live together?"
"You need to spend three days a week at Mu Estate, you can choose the time."
"Okay then!" Xia Pengpeng immediately flashed Mu Xingye a dog-like smile.
He was her major backer now; her attitude did a complete 180-degree turn!
Mu Xingye watched this brilliant smile as if a ray of sunlight had shone into his world.
"And the medical fees?" Xia Pengpeng looked towards Wen Yanqing.
"No need, no need. The young madam is too polite!" Wen Yanqing responded immediately.
That attitude was a complete 360-degree turn, even more fawning than hers!
