Zhao Ruoming gently placed Jiang Huiyi on the bed. This allowed the system to remove the buff of the kingly aura.

Jiang Huiyi lay on the bed with a pale face and trembling body, looking more and more pitiful.

When Zhao Ruoming saw her like this, he felt a little belated pity for her.

She was sold to an old man by her family, and was yelled at and forcibly carried upstairs by the psychopathic old man. Her only hope, her ex-boyfriend Duan Jizhi, did not dare to resist her father and could only grit her teeth in secret.

Jiang Huiyi is also quite pitiful.

After the life-threatening danger brought by the failed mission faded away, Zhao Ruoming's morality returned to a high level and he began to feel a little guilty towards Jiang Huiyi.

Zhao Ruoming opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he heard Jiang Huiyi's cold yet stubborn voice.

"Mr. Duan, do whatever you want to do to me."

. . .

Zhao Ruoming was hit hard by this line with a strong old-fashioned flavor.

What to do? What to do?

She is not a sex-crazed ghost, nor a rapist, nor Zhang San outside the law. It is already funny that she played the role of a chaebol father for a long time just to complete the task. What else can she do to the heroine?

203 popped up again: "Host, I have to warn you, you can't..."

"What a stupid thing to say."

Zhao Ruoming interrupted Jiang Huiyi indifferently.

Jiang Huiyi, who had originally lost all hope and closed her eyes waiting for trial, opened her eyes in disbelief.

"I said, I need a qualified mistress of the Duan family. You just need to play this role well, and there will be nothing else between us."

Jiang Huiyi seemed to have heard something out of the Arabian Nights: "You, you paid off my family's debts, and you asked me to marry here, just so that I can play the role of a qualified mistress of the Duan family?"

How could such a thing exist in the world? How could such a thing exist in the world?

Zhao Ruoming also gave a speechless performance, but the plot of the original novel was even more vulgar than it is now.

In the original novel, Duan Hongji took off Jiang Huiyi's shoes and became so aroused that he could not control himself and kissed the instep of Jiang Huiyi's feet.

Jiang Huiyi screamed and kicked Duan Hongji in the face, swollen his eyes.

Duan Hongji was about to get angry when he saw a tear streaming down Jiang Huiyi's cheek.

This tear broke Duan Hongji's heart. He guessed that Jiang Huiyi was unwilling, so he knelt beside the bed, held her hand and apologized to her, and said, "I won't touch you until you are willing. I will wait for the day when you truly accept me."

Zhao Ruoming was not willing to kiss other people's feet, even if they belonged to the God of Wealth. Anyway, the key plot had passed, so she planned to do some micromanagement and skip those mushy dog-licking plots.

"Miss Jiang." Zhao Ruoming raised his eyelids and said in a calm voice, "If you are obedient, I will give you freedom in one year."

Jiang Huiyi sat up in shock, unable to believe her ears: "You...what did you say?"

Zhao Ruoming turned the ring on his hand. It was a plain silver ring inlaid with a pale blue unknown stone.

"Just as you heard." Zhao Ruoming's face was expressionless. "I need you to act as my wife for this year. Show affection and love to me in front of outsiders. Do you understand?"

Jiang Huiyi seemed to have some feelings: "This outsider..."

"Everyone but you and me."

Everyone!

Jiang Huiyi was frightened by these three cold words, as if a bolt of lightning had struck her brain.

Everyone! Outsiders!

Just now, Duan Hongji said in front of his sons that Jiang Huiyi was an outsider.

And now in front of her, the outsider has become his son!

Jiang Huiyi suddenly understood. To the man in front of him, everyone in the world, except himself, was an "outsider"!

This discovery made her feel sad and happy. The sad thing was that she actually married such a hard-hearted man.

Fortunately, he did not look down on Jiang Huiyi. In his eyes, even his biological son was no different from his newly arrived wife.

Her voice trembled as she whispered, "Can I ask why?"

Zhao Ruoming glanced at her and said, "You will know when the time comes."

Haha, by that time, I will have already escaped beautifully and will play the next role.

Jiang Huiyi was silent. In the circle of nobles, there are always some secrets that not everyone can know.

Duan Hongji has always been shrewd. He was willing to spend 33 billion to marry her, which means that the benefits of having her play the role of his wife must be greater than 33 billion.

What could bring such great benefits?

How terrifying it is that this man could go to such lengths just for this benefit!

Zhao Ruoming didn't know that in Jiang Huiyi's mind, she had become the image of a big boss who was cunning, scheming, hard-hearted, and never showed her emotions.

She just stared into Jiang Huiyi's eyes and said calmly, "Your answer?"

Jiang Huiyi's heart was beating fast. She knew she shouldn't question it, but she still asked in a trembling voice, "Are you telling the truth?"

Zhao Ruoming laughed heartily: "If you are still worried, I can sign an agreement with you."

As she spoke, she urged the system in her mind: "Brother Tongzi! Quickly generate a protocol for me and put it in the drawer!"

The ring on Zhao Ruoming's hand emitted a faint blue light.

Jiang Huiyi was still hesitating, but she saw Duan Hongji had already opened the drawer on the bedside, took out a piece of paper and a pen, and placed them in front of her.

After seeing the contents on the paper clearly, Jiang Huiyi's pupils shrank.

On this piece of paper was the "One-Year Contract Marriage" agreement!

The agreement states that Party A, Mr. Duan Hongji, hired Party B, Ms. Jiang Huiyi, to play the role of his contractual wife for a salary of 33 billion yuan.

Party A Duan Hongji and Party B Jiang Huiyi will maintain a nominal marriage relationship from xx/xx/xx to xx/xx/xx. Once the agreed date arrives, the marriage relationship will be dissolved immediately.

The agreement also states that during the contractual marriage, the two will not have any contact except for necessary work (attending dinners, press conferences, charity conferences, auctions, family gatherings, etc.). There will be no improper relationship, no emotional entanglement, and no interference with the other party's freedom to choose a spouse and emotional state, but it must not affect the performance at work, let alone the reputation of Mr. Duan Hongji.

In addition, there are many complicated and fragmentary terms.

The agreement was very long and very detailed, covering almost every aspect. Jiang Huiyi widened her eyes and read through it word by word, fearing that she might miss a single detail.

Seeing the end, Jiang Huiyi was even more shocked. Because, at the end of the agreement, in the position of Party A, there was Duan Hongji's autograph and seal!

Duan Hongji had already signed on it!

He was prepared! He was prepared!

Looking at the agreement filled with words like "salary", "hire", "employment relationship", "work"...if the work content was not a bit weird, this would be just an ordinary labor contract.

At this moment, Jiang Huiyi felt ridiculous for herself.

How could she think that a tycoon who had been in the business world for more than 20 years, a young and promising richest man in Haicheng, would suddenly fall madly in love with a little girl like her?

All the shame, anxiety, and feelings of fate had faded away at this moment. Jiang Huiyi began to think seriously about this matter.

The more she thought about it, the more doubts she had. She also recalled the rumors that she had never taken seriously before.

I heard that Duan Hongji started his business at the age of 20, and it was his wife who shared the good and bad times with him.

I heard that just when Duan Hongji's career was starting to pick up, his wife died of illness.

I heard that Duan Hongji has not remarried for many years.

I heard that Duan Hongji has been raising his three sons by himself for many years.

I heard someone say...

Duan Hongji has been a bachelor for so many years, why would he suddenly change his personality for her?

Thinking of this, Jiang Huiyi let out a sigh of relief. She believed that this marriage was just a casual affair.

No matter what, being a man's partner is better than being his plaything. So Jiang Huiyi signed her name on the agreement without much hesitation.

Zhao Ruoming picked up the agreement and looked at it with satisfaction.

The 203 system is indeed a high-tech product. The generated protocol is impeccable. Even Duan Hongji's signature looks real.

In fact, the content of this agreement is so explosive that it should not have legal effect. But this is a novel world. As we all know, in the world of novels, no matter how explosive the contract terms are, the characters will obey them obediently, one or two of them are like legal illiterates.

Therefore, in Zhao Ruoming's eyes, this agreement is not only Jiang Huiyi's free agreement, but also a guarantee that she will no longer have to be a bootlicker in the future!

Jiang Huiyi saw Zhao Ruoming's satisfaction, and somehow, a very complicated emotion suddenly flashed through Jiang Huiyi's heart.

Zhao Ruoming put the agreement away, then stood beside the bed and gently helped Jiang Huiyi lie down.

The moment Jiang Huiyi was touched by Zhao Ruoming, her body stiffened, and then she pretended to relax as if nothing had happened.

Duan Hongji seemed not to notice her stiffness. He leaned over and carefully covered Jiang Huiyi with the quilt and tucked in the corners.

When doing all this, Zhao Ruoming was very close to Jiang Huiyi. There was no expression on his face, as if Jiang Huiyi was not a vivid and pitiful beauty, but a large piece of luggage that needed to be wrapped.

Jiang Huiyi suddenly discovered that Duan Hongji was also extremely handsome.

From just now till now, her attention has been on Duan Jizhi, and she has not paid much attention to her nominal husband. It was not until this moment that she really began to look at his face seriously.

Duan Hongji is already 45 years old, which is not young compared to Jiang Huiyi. But considering his wealth, he can be said to be young and promising at this age.

Seeing him face to face, Jiang Huiyi realized that Duan Hongji was much more handsome than his three sons. Time had not worn away his handsomeness, but had added a lot of mature and charming charm to him.

Zhao Ruoming covered Jiang Huiyi with a blanket and was thinking about how to leave to give his plastic son and plastic wife a chance to be alone together, when he suddenly smelled a familiar smell of blood.

The bloody smell was very faint, and Jiang Huiyi had a faint scent of perfume on her body, so it should have been completely covered up. But the system greatly enhanced Zhao Ruoming's five senses, so Zhao Ruoming still smelled it.

Zhao Ruoming was also a woman, so she knew what this fishy smell meant. Looking at Jiang Huiyi's pale face, she suddenly felt pity and guilt for the girl.

Jiang Huiyi saw Zhao Ruoming paused and immediately became alert. Although her mind told her that Duan Hongji and she were only contractual partners, emotionally, the terrifying way Duan Hongji had just strangled her neck was still firmly imprinted in her mind, causing her to shudder involuntarily.

"Isn't it just in front of others? Do we have to do this in private as well?" She couldn't help but ask softly. It was both a question and a reminder.

Zhao Ruoming sensed her vigilance and couldn't help laughing.

"Although I'm not a perfectionist," Jiang Huiyi heard Duan Hongji say calmly, "I don't like to make any mistakes. It's only one year, so please bear with it."

His tone was still unquestionable and self-centered. It was not a discussion, but a notification. Jiang Huiyi breathed a sigh of relief for some reason.

Zhao Ruoming spun the ring. A few seconds later, a phone call came in.

Zhao Ruoming picked up the phone, and after a moment, he hung up. He turned to Jiang Huiyi and said, "There are some things in the company that I need to deal with. You should have a good rest and don't let anyone see any flaws."

The last sentence is the key point, right? Jiang Huiyi was eager for this oppressive man to leave quickly, and nodded obediently.

Only after Duan Hongji closed the door and left did Jiang Huiyi completely relax and let out a long sigh of relief.

Only then did she realize that she was already sweating coldly.

With a creak, the bedroom door was opened again.

Jiang Huiyi was startled, thinking that Duan Hongji had returned. She looked up and saw that it was the maid who had accompanied her to Duan's house.

An unconcealable look of disgust flashed across Jiang Huiyi's eyes.

The maid looked around the room, frowned, and walked to the head of the bed.

The maid looked down at Jiang Huiyi and said disapprovingly, "Miss, are you being willful again?"

After hearing this, Jiang Huiyi, who had originally planned to ignore her, could no longer bear it.

Jiang Huiyi struggled to sit up from the warm nest Duan Hongji had stuffed for her, frowned and asked, "Liansheng, what do you mean by that?"

Liansheng replied respectfully and indifferently: "I don't mean anything. It's just that you had a conflict with Mr. Duan on the first day of your marriage, and now you have driven Mr. Duan out of your room. What's the reason?"

I drove him away? Jiang Huiyi almost laughed out of anger. It was obvious that the man's mind was full of money! Money! Money! He just casually arranged for her and left for work without hesitation!

Since they were going to act like a loving couple in front of outsiders, they naturally couldn't say this. Even so, Jiang Huiyi was still very upset.

She couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you see what he looked like when you were downstairs?"

Liansheng was silent.

Jiang Huiyi pressed, "He grabbed my neck! All of you! No one came to help me!"

Liansheng shrugged his brows: "After all, it was you who attacked Mr. Duan first."

"..." Jiang Huiyi smiled instead of getting angry, "So, his face is a face, but my life is not a life?"

Liansheng was questioned by her and her face was not very good: "Miss, forgive me for reminding you that although Mr. Duan has paid off the debt of the Jiang family, the status of the Jiang family in Haicheng is much worse than before. You should..."

"Haha... I know, I know." Jiang Huiyi laughed twice and interrupted her, "I should serve that old man well, kneel down and lick his shoes, and then earn some alms for the Jiang family!"

Hearing her expose the veil so bluntly, Liansheng could no longer maintain his expression: "How can you say that about the Jiang family!"

"Jiang family, Jiang family!" Big tears fell from Jiang Huiyi's eyes, "You only know the Jiang family! What about me! What about me? I am a person! Not an object!"

Liansheng sneered: "Who are you showing this to? When Duan Hongji proposed the conditions, you agreed to it yourself..."

"Dong dong dong."

The regular knocks on the door interrupted their quarrel.

who is it?

Jiang Huiyi was confused and confused, and quickly wiped the tears from her face: "Please come in."

The door opened and two maids came in. One was carrying a tray and the other was holding a cardboard box.

One of the maids came over, pushed Liansheng aside without leaving a trace, and placed the tray on the bedside table.

Jiang Huiyi smelled a warm and sweet heat, and when she looked closely, she saw a cup of steaming brown sugar ginger water on the tray!
