"Shen Wanwan, sign the agreement and divorce after a year. I'll give you 50 million dollars as compensation."
It was midsummer in July, and the scorching sun hung high in the sky, mercilessly roasting the earth.
Today, the Ji family manor was exceptionally lively. It was the wedding ceremony of the head of the Ji family, Ji Jinxian, and the youngest daughter of the Shen family, Shen Wanwan.
The invitees had arrived early and were gathered in small groups with wine glasses and chatting away.
People were coming and going on the second floor of the Ji residence, where the atmosphere was full of joy and laughter. But in the master bedroom, the mood had dropped to freezing point.
"If you don't agree, I won't hesitate to use some means," said Ji Jinxian, dressed in a silver-gray suit and standing by the window with his hands behind his back. Behind him stood a girl in a white dress.
"Alright, as you wish!" Shen Wanwan replied without thinking when she was hearing the threatening words.
It was the third day since Shen Wanwan had transmigrated into this book.
In the book, she was a dispensable character who did not survive the first ten chapters. At the same time, she was also the contracted wife of the male lead, Ji Jinxian.
Ji Jinxian did not like her. He had agreed to the marriage for the sake of the family, but the original host was unaware of this.
The original host was deeply infatuated with Ji Jinxian. She had been thrilled for a long time to marry Ji Jinxian.
The tragedy also happened after. According to the book's plot, Ji Jinxian would give "her" an agreement before the wedding ceremony.
However, when "Shen Wanwan" saw the agreement, she was furious and caused a ruckus at the wedding ceremony, resulting in both the Ji and Shen families losing face.
Later on, the female protagonist appeared. The original host was jealous of the female protagonist, so she went crazy and targeted her, doing all kinds of bad things. In the end, she died in a fire that she started, leaving behind no remains.
Thinking of the book's ending, Shen Wanwan's body trembled. She immediately decided to cooperate and get the money after a year.
Just as Shen Wanwan was lost in thought, Ji Jinxian looked at her coldly and told her quickly signed the agreement.
"Then hurry up and sign it."
"Okay!"
Shen Wanwan did not hesitate and quickly signed her name on the agreement. She did not even read the contents of the agreement. She only wanted the 50 million dollars and did not care about anything else.
With that much money, there was nothing she couldn't do.
After signing the agreement, Ji Jinxian did not even look at Shen Wanwan. He left her with the sentence, "Remember your duty," and quickly left the lounge.
As she watched him leave, Shen Wanwan silently rolled her eyes. If it weren't for the money, she wouldn't put up with his bad temper.
But when she thought of the 50 million dollars, Shen Wanwan became ecstatic. No wonder they said that rich people were generous. Shen Wanwan wanted to latch onto Ji Jinxian's rich and powerful.
As long as she clung to a wealthy man, she would become a sugar mama who could support a young lover in a year.
As Shen Wanwan was daydreaming about being surrounded by young lovers, there was a knock on the door outside the lounge, followed by the voice of a waiter.
"Miss Shen, are you ready? The wedding banquet is about to begin."
"I'm ready."
Shen Wanwan quickly tidied herself up, opened the door, and walked out of the lounge. She quickly found Ji Jinxian and they cooperated to greet the guests.
The banquet hall was particularly lively. As the guests saw the bride, they came forward to congratulate her. Shen Wanwan smiled throughout the entire wedding ceremony, and there were no mistakes.
Shen Wanwan heaved a sigh of relief after the last guests left. She rubbed her stiff mouth and kicked off her high heels, slumping onto the sofa in the lounge.
Phew, the guests had finally departed!
Before Shen Wanwan could rest, Ji Jinxian strode over and looked down at Shen Wanwan expressionlessly.
"Get up, let's go home."
After Ji Jinxian finished speaking, he ignored the dumbfounded Shen Wanwan and walked away, leaving Shen Wanwan with a cold back view.
Shen Wanwan was speechless.
That d*mn overbearing CEO was annoying. He didn't have any gentlemanly demeanor at all!
Shen Wanwan ran behind Ji Jinxian and cursed him in her heart.
With such a bad temper, who could serve him if he wasn't wealthy?
The car stopped at the entrance of the villa. Shen Wanwan had just gotten out of the car and before she could react, the car in front of her had already driven away.
Shen Wanwan stomped her feet in anger as she watched the car disappear into the distance. Not long after, the butler came out of the villa.
"Young Madam, please follow me!" The butler smiled kindly and led Shen Wanwan into the villa. The interior of the villa was decorated in a simple style. Shen Wanwan casually glanced around before following the butler upstairs.
Time passed quickly, and before she knew it, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. Ji Jinxian still hadn't returned.
Shen Wanwan was not interested in Ji Jinxian's whereabouts. Instead, she lay lazily on the bed and scrolled through the screen while admiring handsome men on her tablet.
Wasn't it good to see handsome men?
Why should she worry about that Ji Jinxian?
"Young Madam, dinner is ready. Are you eating now?"
The butler's voice sounded outside the door and interrupted Shen Wanwan's thoughts. She put down her tablet and went downstairs to have dinner.
As Shen Wanwan had just arrived downstairs, she saw that the table was filled with dishes, but there was only one set of cutlery. This puzzled her, and she asked the butler, "Where's Ji Jinxian?"
"Young Master is still at the company, so Madam, please go ahead and eat. The kitchen has left some dishes for Young Master."
After hearing the reply, Shen Wanwan simply nodded and ate a modest meal before heading upstairs.
By the time Ji Jinxian finished sorting through the pile of documents, the sky had already been dark. Ji Jinxian tiredly rubbed his temples and got up to leave the office.
It was their first day of marriage, and he had to go home to avoid arousing suspicion from his mother.
As soon as Ji Jinxian stepped out of the elevator, he collided with a woman. He felt annoyed and his mood worsened.
Without thinking, he pushed the woman away and quickly took off his suit. He coldly glanced at the woman and left quickly.
The woman he pushed down stared angrily at his retreating figure, her eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.
Why did this encounter play out differently from what she had imagined?
The woman got up unwillingly and followed in the direction that Ji Jinxian had gone. However, all she saw was the back of the car that had departed.
If Shen Wanwan was here, she would exclaim about the power of the plot. The encounter between the male protagonist and the female protagonist was so peculiar!
After Ji Jinxian reached home, he casually ate a few mouthfuls of food before returning to his room.
The bedroom was pitch-black. Ji Jinxian habitually walked into the bathroom in the dark. When he came out again, he had changed into a bathrobe.
Ji Jinxian walked over to the bed and lifted the blanket. Just as he was about to lie down, he realized that there was someone else in the bed.
"Shen Wanwan?" Ji Jinxian said with a furrowed brow. He reached out to turn on the lights and the light instantly lit up the dark bedroom, revealing the person lying on the bed.
"Who gave you permission to enter my room?"
Ji Jinxian demanded, his face darkening. Shen Wanwan was woken up by his voice. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw Ji Jinxian's stern expression.
Shen Wanwan was speechless.
Who had angered this guy again?
His expression was so dark that it looked like someone had swindled him out of millions of dollars.
"Get out of my room!"
Ji Jinxian wished he could strangle Shen Wanwan to death. How did this woman have the audacity to enter his room without his permission?
