Qin Yu's words made Ziyan laugh in exasperation, and she gently shook her head.
"Mr. Qin, rest assured, the money that's been spent, I will definitely not ask for it back. I asked you to come over because there is something I need to discuss with you. Take a look at this agreement."
After speaking, Ziyan methodically took out the printed agreement from her bag and placed it on the table.
Upon hearing it wasn't about money, Qin Yu felt relieved.
Curiously, Qin Yu picked up the agreement and was completely stunned!
What the hell?
A marriage agreement?
Qin Yu's mind exploded, completely unable to process what his eyes were seeing!
Marriage?
And to marry the stunning beauty in front of him?
The happiness came too suddenly, Qin Yu had no desire to continue reading. He could only stare at Ziyan with wide eyes, unblinking.
"Ziyan, you want to marry me?"
"What, you don't want to?"
Seeing Qin Yu's excitement, a trace of disdain flashed in Ziyan's eyes, though it was barely perceptible. She feared an opponent who was greedy, but even more so an opponent without any weaknesses.
"Willing, of course willing, a hundred and twenty million percent willing! But, aren't we moving too fast? If it's just because of last night's incident, I suggest Ziyan, you take some time to cool down. After all, marriage is a life-long commitment and must be taken seriously."
Only a fool would be unwilling, Qin Yu quickly nodded, but he feared that Ziyan might regret it later and kindly reminded her.
"Not too fast at all, just keep reading."
Ziyan's delicate fingers rhythmically tapped on the table, her interest apparent as she studied Qin Yu.
This man did have his virtues, knowing to consider others.
Qin Yu, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, slowly continued to read. After a short while, his enthusiasm vanished.
The first item in the marriage contract stated that this marriage was a sham!
Qin Yu was very angry.
A sham marriage?
This was an insult to him!
He was so handsome, so outstanding, beauties should be willingly throwing themselves at him!
Qin Yu coldly said, "Miss Su, I advised you earlier, marriage is a lifelong commitment, to be taken seriously. Similarly, marriage is also a lifelong commitment for me, and I must also be cautious. I'm sorry, I cannot agree to your request."
Miss Su?
Wasn't he calling her Ziyan just a moment ago?
The sudden coldness in Qin Yu's tone made Ziyan's breath catch. For some reason, Ziyan felt a bit uncomfortable as if Qin Yu's attitude towards her was very unsettling.
Ziyan took a deep breath, suppressing the uncomfortable feeling.
"Qin Yu, don't be hasty in rejecting me. I just need you to cooperate for two years. We are still young, and two years is nothing. Just think of it as working for me for two years. Once my career is back on track, we will go our separate ways. Besides, I will give you a large sum of money, and you can buy a house and a car, and find a wife to your satisfaction."
In Ziyan's impression, Qin Yu was very greedy, and she thought he would surely agree to her proposal.
Yet Qin Yu's reaction was completely beyond Ziyan's expectations.
"Miss Su, you seem to have misunderstood something. Although I am fond of money, I value my reputation even more. In our rural hometown, having a divorce certificate is a great disgrace. What I need is a marriage that lasts until death. I, Qin Yu, will never divorce in this life or the next! So, we can get married, but divorce is out of the question!"
This point Qin Yu did not fabricate; his mother would never allow him to get divorced.
"You!" Ziyan had never expected, that the money-grubber she thought she could easily manipulate, would actually dare to blackmail her like this!
Doesn't he know?
In Luo City, there are numerous eligible bachelors using various motives and excuses to get close to her, enough to circle the moat around her fortress?
"Ten million! I'll give you ten million! Will that be enough?"
Ziyan's heart was bleeding. Was earning money easy for her?
All her movable and immovable assets together didn't exceed forty million, and she was giving away a quarter of it just like that.
"I've said before, it's not about the money."
Qin Yu gently shook his head. Did his forehead read 'money fanatic'?
"Twenty million! That's the going rate even for a diamond collar!"
Ziyan clenched her teeth, staring at Qin Yu furiously.
Qin Yu sighed, speaking in a deep voice, "Miss Su, I don't know why you are doing this, but I am not going to engage in a sham marriage. I will absolutely not divorce, I absolutely cannot get a divorce certificate. My mother would kill me! How about this, I'll start courting you from now, and when you truly fall in love with me, then we can get married."
"Court me? Haha..."
Ziyan laughed out of anger at Qin Yu's words, this toad was really getting ahead of himself, wasn't he?
Ziyan scoffed coldly, "What gives you the right to court me? Because you don't even have the deposit to book a room? Because you don't even have a job?"
Qin Yu narrowed his eyes: "Why? Do I need a reason? If I really need a reason, it's because of my love at first sight for Miss Su, because of my fondness!"
Love at first sight?
For some reason, although she really disliked Qin Yu and looked down on him, when he said those words, a faint joy arose in Ziyan's heart.
Ziyan said sternly, "Since you like me, then help me, sign this contract. Just two years, and you'll be a multimillionaire."
Qin Yu decisively shook his head, "Impossible! There's no 'divorce' in my dictionary! I, Qin Yu, will absolutely not need a divorce certificate! I can't help you with this! Besides, my fondness for Miss Su has greatly diminished, whether to pursue you or not, I need to reconsider."
"Qin Yu, do you believe I could sue you? The hotel front desk can be my witness, the video can be my evidence!"
Ziyan was furious with Qin Yu. She, a great beauty, didn't even feel at a loss, what was this man being so finicky about?
It's just a divorce certificate, right?
Anyway, there won't be a banquet, who would know if you've been married or divorced?
Oh my, is this girl playing her trump card?
This was precisely what Qin Yu was most worried about; if this matter blew up and reached his rural hometown, it would not be good, especially since he had a childhood sweetheart back home.
Qin Yu felt waves of nervousness internally, but he didn't show it, instead, he smiled slight; "Sue me? I'm sorry, I can also provide video evidence that proves Miss Su initiated it!"
"Qin Yu... you're shameless!" Qin Yu's words directly knocked over Ziyan's last bit of leverage.
Ziyan could no longer maintain her lofty demeanor!
To get rid of one pervert, she'd ended up in the grasp of an even more twisted man!
If the video got out, how could Ziyan go on living?
