Huo Ru had never been so nervous, as if she was a criminal awaiting a verdict.
“Miss, you won’t be able to win if you reveal your trump card at the gambling table.” The man’s words made Huo Ru’s heart turn cold.
The man’s aura was too powerful, Huo Ru had never dealt with such a person before. Although his movements were relaxed and casual, the pressure he exuded was not inferior to that of many people in power. Huo Ru secretly cheered herself on.
“What we need between us is sincerity. The risks of our marriage are very high, whether it’s for you or me, but I don’t have a choice anymore. If you’re willing, I can sign a series of contracts with you. To be honest, my family is still a little capable and they want me to marry someone I don’t want to marry. Getting married beforehand is a good way to avoid it.” Huo Ru didn’t even pause before saying a series of words.
“If I offended you, I apologize here. I thought you would need a wife to prove something. Of course, I will give you some financial compensation. In the future, if you have someone you like or if my matter is resolved and you want a divorce, you can always…”
The man asked with interest, “I wonder who the person you’re going to marry is that you’d rather pay me than marry him?”
The man’s attitude wavered. Huo Ru, who was a little disappointed just now, was not sure if the man would agree or not. She exaggerated a little and said, “He’s from another very big family. He’s not in good health and is especially fierce. He might die of illness in less than three days after I get married to him! So I definitely don’t want to marry into their family!”
He neither confirmed nor denied her words. He said with a faint smile, “Miss, if you want to move me, this small benefit is not enough.”
Huo Ru looked at the man in shock and bumped into his dark eyes. At this moment, he was like the dark and turbulent sea. On the surface, he looked calm, but underneath was surging magma. Day after day, no one dared to approach such a terrifying scene.
But the other matter was also clear, anyone who could bargain wanted to buy. Since the man had asked, it meant he might agree. Now it was up to her sincerity.
“What do you want?” Huo Ru restrained herself and asked as calmly as possible.
“You’re in a desperate situation now. If you want to rely on me to get away, it’s not too much to agree to my request, right?” The man looked straight at her and said with certainty.
At this moment, the man was like a demon that tempted the world to fall. He used his soothing and deep voice to lure her to sign an unfair contract and push her into hell.
Huo Ru asked, “What do you want?”
She was already thinking of backing out. If the man asked for too much, no matter how suitable he looked, she would give up immediately and change her target.
“I want to keep my chance to use it. There shouldn’t be a problem with that, right? Don’t worry, I won’t let you do anything that violates the law.” Although the man was sitting, his aura was too powerful, making it impossible to ignore his existence.
“It’s a deal.” Huo Ru’s mind went blank for a moment before she agreed.
The man suddenly stood up and walked towards her. Only then did Huo Ru realize that he was very tall, almost 1.9 meters. Huo Ru, who was 1.7 meters tall, thought of herself as tall. She even wore high heels today and was half a head shorter than him. His figure was also very proportionate, it was obvious that he was working out. He had broad shoulders, narrow hips, and long legs. No one would refute him if he said he was a model on the street.
God must have poured a lot of effort into shaping him, so much so that he looked too handsome. He was like a hero who had been blessed in old myths and was about to save the crumbling world at any time.
Apart from… not being very good in some aspects, he could be said to be a perfect man.
Huo Ru suddenly felt balanced. No matter how much he was favored, it was a delicate balance.
The man stood beside her, the distance between them had exceeded the normal social distance. Huo Ru was wrapped in his light citrus scent and suddenly blushed.
She was going to marry this man she had met for less than an hour.
The man reached out his hand, his hand was like the work of a famous sculptor. It was well-defined, slender, and well-proportioned. He took Huo Ru’s hand and said, “Let’s go.”
“Where are we going?” Huo Ru asked.
