Chapter 426 I promise, I won't go back on my word.
"Sir, I've made up my mind."
Wenren Chen's eyes were fixed on the computer, but the scenery in the study was all in his view, especially the person sitting on the sofa.
At this moment, in the quiet night, this soft yet firm voice reached his ears. His eyes flickered slightly, and his fingertips, which had been resting on the mouse, lowered as he looked at the person who had stood up from the sofa.
Zhou Yi looked at him, her eyes clear and bright. She clenched her fists and said, "I promise you, we will have a marriage of convenience."
At that moment, the fingertip that had been resting on the mouse relaxed and moved away.
Zhou Yi continued, "But..."
In an instant, the study fell silent.
With this sudden turn of events, the place became eerily quiet.
Wenren Chen remained silent, staring intently at Zhou Yi, waiting for her to continue.
Zhou Yi continued, "I don't want money."
“Sir, you have helped me a lot. If it weren’t for you, my grandmother might not be here anymore. My grandmother is very important to me. You saved my grandmother, and I have no way to repay you. Let’s get married by agreement. I can no longer take your money. I will be your wife in name only. I will take good care of Yuyu. You don’t need to worry. In the future, if you meet a girl you like, or if Yuyu meets a mother she likes, you can terminate this contract whenever you want.”
"Until you terminate the contract, I will be your wife and Yu Yu's mother, so please rest assured."
Zhou Yi spoke these words sincerely, her clear eyes showing no hesitation, doubt, or unease.
At that moment, she was very clear about what she was saying and what decisions she was making.
Wenren Chen gazed at that simple and sincere face and said, "Marriage is not important to me, but it is very important to you. This contract will not be changed, and you will receive the full amount of compensation you are entitled to."
Zhou Yi's eyes widened, and she quickly said, "Sir, you..."
"Bring the documents here."
He interrupted her, and Zhou Yi had to stop talking.
She frowned, looked at Wenren Chen, then at the document on the coffee table, and obediently handed it to Wenren Chen.
Wenren Chen took the document, picked up the pen, and wrote his name sharply on the last page.
There was no pause.
He turned the document around and handed her a pen: "You can back out before you sign it."
Zhou Yi shook her head: "No regrets."
She took the pen, looked at the beautiful handwriting on the signature area, bent down, and carefully wrote her name on the second party's page: Zhou Yi.
The gentleman had no other choice.
He went through with the blind date; he did everything he could for his grandmother; he did what he was supposed to do for his mother and his child, and he spent a lot of time on it.
A person's energy is limited. He is in charge of such a large group, and it is impossible for him to spend most of his attention on these trivial matters.
It's bad for him, for the entire group, and even for his family.
He has to make choices.
Therefore, he is willing to spend the money if he can resolve everything with a single decision as quickly as possible.
For Mr. Yu, money is not important; what matters most is that money can solve problems.
She kept the money, intending to give it to Yuyu when she grew up, or when her husband terminated the agreement and she left.
The clean and elegant characters "Zhou Yi" placed below the three characters "Wenren Chen" are like a small flower growing under a lush tree. From now on, she will no longer have to suffer any wind or rain. He will protect her until the end of his life.
Wenren Chen watched as Zhou Yi wrote the last stroke, the two neat characters leaping cleanly from the paper. He said, "Tomorrow morning, we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."
