Chapter 1886: Contractual Marriage

~8 min read 1,549 words

Shi Youxuan still has two Jade Bracelets in her possession that have not yet found their owners; they are prepared for the wives of Zirui and Zihan.

The gift Sheng Hanyu gave for their first meeting was very simple: a large red envelope.

The one Sheng Jiang gave was also a red envelope.

The ones Shi Ran and Yun Qitian gave were also red envelopes; the rest of the family members are all younger than Zichen, so there was no need to give any.

Li Xueer left the Sheng Family, and Zichen drove her home. Along the way, she kept praising, "The atmosphere in your family is truly wonderful. Before I went, I was almost nervous to death, thinking that your wealthy, prominent family must have many rules. If I didn't perform well, I would have let you down..."

"But I never expected your family members to be so kind. I envy you so much. If I had such a family, even if it were only for one day, I would be willing to die immediately..."

Everything Li Xueer said was from the heart.

She had depended on her father since she was a child. Although her father was very good to her, their household was small, so it was inevitable that she felt lonely.

Since she was little, she had envied other people's families—those that had not only a father, but also a mother, and brothers and sisters!

Now that she had finally seen what she imagined to be the ideal, she was very excited, and she spoke a bit more than usual.

Zichen just listened quietly, looking as if he were lost in thought.

They reached the entrance to Li Xueer's street; the car could not drive in any further, so it stopped there.

When getting out of the car, Li Xueer took off the necklace from her neck and the Jade Bracelet from her wrist to return to Zichen: "Give these things back to you; they are too valuable, I cannot accept them."

Zichen did not take them, but suddenly said: "How about you marry me? Think about it!"

Li Xueer widened her eyes in astonishment: "What did you say?"

So Zichen repeated it: "I mean, you marry me and be my wife."

"But I cannot lie to you; there is no love between us, it is just a contractual relationship. I will fulfill the responsibilities I should, and I will give you an annual salary. If you fall in love with someone else, you can also propose a divorce at any time."

Li Xueer did not make a sound. A contractual marriage?

What the hell?

She never imagined that something from a novel could actually play out in her own life!

No love, only a relationship based on money.

The heroine in a novel must be very short of money at home, and only by having such an opportunity would she agree to such a marriage.

Later, in the process of getting along, they fall in love with each other and are loved by the other, leading to a happy ending.

But she is not short of money, and she likes Sheng Zichen, but Sheng Zichen does not like her.

He is a person who is devoted in love, but the object of his devotion is not her.

And she is also a person who is devoted in love; once she falls in love, it is for a lifetime.

Should she marry or not?

"I'll think about it..."

"No rush, I'll wait for your word!"

"Mm."

The car stopped, and she hurriedly got out and walked quickly toward her home, as if she were running slowly, a wild beast would be chasing her from behind.

After arriving home, she drank two glasses of water in a row before her excited mood calmed down slightly.

Just at this moment, her father said from behind her: "What's wrong with you? Did Sheng Zichen bully you?"

"Ah?!!!"

Li Xueer was just immersed in her own thoughts and was completely unprepared for her father to suddenly be standing behind her at this time; his ghostly appearance gave her a fright.

"No, don't guess wildly. Go to sleep quickly, don't stare at me."

She felt a bit guilty and pushed her father toward his room, but she could not move him.

Lao Litou got to the bottom of things, determined to know what had happened while his daughter was out with Zichen for the day.

The more his daughter refused to say, the more certain he was that his guess was correct.

No matter how he asked, his daughter would not say, which finally exhausted the last bit of Lao Litou's patience. He took out his phone to ask Sheng Zichen, but his daughter naturally could not let him ask, so she snatched the phone from her father's hand in one go.

Without the phone, he still did not back down.

Lao Litou grabbed his coat, intending to go find Sheng Zichen to settle the score. Even if he thought highly of this person, he could not let him bully his daughter. If he dared to bully his daughter, he would fight him to the death!

Li Xueer helplessly grabbed her father: "You are already at such an old age, can't you change this hot temper of yours? He didn't bully me; he just wants to marry me."

Lao Litou:...

After a moment of stunned silence.

He immediately turned his anger into joy: "Really? That's great! When is the wedding? Our family doesn't want anything, no bride price. Although Dad doesn't have money, I will give everything I have to let you marry in style..."

Lao Litou was incredibly excited and had already started planning his daughter's wedding, which left Li Xueer, who had still been a bit hesitant, with no way to back out.

Fine, let's just settle it this way.

Although the other party does not love her yet, being by the side of the person she loves is also happiness!

She promised Zichen and agreed to a contractual marriage with him.

Zichen took out an agreement: "Take a look. If there are no problems, sign it, and then we will go get the marriage certificate."

Li Xueer took it and read it carefully.

The more she read, the more uncomfortable she felt.

The cold words on the contract were all reminding her that this marriage was just a formality.

Every clause and condition was written very clearly, not beating around the bush at all; it was so blunt that it made people very uncomfortable.

Actually, Li Xueer had always liked being direct, saying whatever was on her mind, and not liking to beat around the bush. She truly had not expected that one day she would also hate such a blunt way of doing things.

In their marriage agreement, the first article stated: This marriage has no affection, only a relationship of interests.

The duration of the marriage is three years.

Within three years, Li Xueer will enjoy all the rights of the Eldest Young Mistress of the Sheng Family and must also bear the corresponding obligations, with an annual salary of ten million.

After three years, it will be decided whether to renew the contract based on the situation.

During the marriage, she had the obligations of a wife: one hundred million for a boy, fifty million for a girl...

Li Xueer could not accept such a contract.

But since the person was Sheng Zichen, she suppressed the discomfort in her heart, picked up the Hallucinogenic Pen, and signed her name on it.

"Happy cooperation!" Zichen reached out his hand with satisfaction.

"Happy... cooperation!"

She also reached out her hand, maintaining a cooperative smile as much as possible, and shook Zichen's hand.

As for what she was thinking in her heart and what it felt like, only she herself knew.

——————————————————————————————

Sheng Family.

Zichen returned home and announced: "I am getting married, and the person is Li Xueer."

The family members all had different expressions.

The grandparents were very happy, especially the grandmother Wang Yinghao.

She was very satisfied with Li Xueer, constantly praising her for being smart and sensible, and saying she would definitely be a good daughter-in-law in the future.

Sheng Hanyu felt the family background was a bit lacking and that she was indeed not a match, but he had opened his mind now; as long as his son liked her, family background was not that important.

There was basically no need to worry about the wedding banquet and such; Zichen did this for a living, so he would naturally arrange his own wedding clearly and thoroughly.

He only needed to worry about what kind of guests to invite to Zichen's wedding.

So he went to the Study to write the Invitation.

The children were all very worry-free and did not give him any particular cause for concern; after Zichen married, there would be two sons left, and once the sons were all married, he would begin his own plan.

Sheng Hanyu wanted to revisit old places with his wife, walk through the places they had been before once more, and live a true life for two.
