The sun was high in the sky, and the summer sun was scorching the highest levels of buildings in the Cloud City area. The smooth glass walls reflected a blinding light.

The originally hot and sweaty atmosphere was now completely different from before. The atmosphere was so cold that it felt like it was going to freeze at any moment.

"That's impossible."

A trembling female voice cut through the suffocating silence.

Pei Luoyi stared at the contract on the table in front of her. Her hands were clenched into fists, and the emotions in her eyes were churning uncontrollably.

She just got off the plane and was' invited 'to this airtight place by the man in front of her.

He threw her a piece of black and white paper and hit her on the head.

[Undercover Marriage Agreement]

The four words were so bright that they stung her eyes. What made her feel even more suffocated was the two signatures at the end of the page. She could not be more familiar with those two names.

Her parents sold her to the most noble and wealthy man in the Cloud City for ten million yuan.

"Miss Pei, if you think that this document is fake, we can ask a professional judicial officer to help you appraise it."

Song Ming's calm voice rang out as he stared at Pei Luoyi who was sitting at the other end of the table. He then pushed his gold-rimmed glasses which were propped up on the bridge of his nose.

A beige job suit accentuated a woman's gentle and beautiful temperament. On her slightly powdered face, her exquisite and delicate features made it difficult for people to look away from her. Even her slightly raised eyebrows were just right.

Become the young mistress of the Gong Family … This woman seemed to be a good candidate.

Song Ming looked at Pei Luoyi and came to this conclusion in his heart. His eyes, which were covered by the lens, flashed with a dark light.

"Lawyer Song, I didn't mean that."

She raised her eyes from the document and her eyebrows tightened. After a while, she continued unsteadily, "In fact, my parents have never discussed this matter with me, so I …" "It's really hard to accept …"

"I understand, Miss Pei."

Before Pei Luoyi could finish her sentence, Song Ming had already grabbed the documents in front of her, stuffed it into a yellow brown paper bag, and tied the sealed rope.

After doing this series of actions, he raised his head to look at her again, "The document doesn't require you to sign it right now. If you have any objections to the agreement, you can go back and discuss it with your father."

The meaning behind his words was that there was no room for discussion with them?

Pei Luoyi was startled, and a look of disbelief flashed across her eyes.

But soon, she slumped back in her chair, feeling a sense of loss all around her.

In Cloud City, there was no one who didn't know of that man's power and methods. His way of doing things made many of the powerful and influential people tremble in fear.

Even her occasional quick glances at him on television had to tremble at his irresistible, cold presence.

Pei Luoyi glanced at the shockingly calm pair of black eyes and silently pursed her lips. A faint trace of dejection could be seen in her clear eyes.

"Lawyer Song, actually, no matter what my parents and I discuss, this agreement... I'm afraid I have to sign it, don't I? "

He did not expect that she would be able to speak of this fact so frankly. After a brief period of silence, Song Ming formally replied, "Yes."

Regarding the expected answer, Pei Luoyi could only curl her lips as a look of helplessness appeared in her eyes.

"Why me? I think he has a better choice than someone as noble as Mr Miyake. " Pei Luoyi asked softly.

She thought she had never come into contact with that man, but in this situation, it was obvious that the man was here for her.

He was the favored child of the heavens, and she was only an unremarkable child of a middle-class family. Why would she be the one?

"Miss Pei, I am only working for Mister Gong, the reason behind this." Song Ming paused for a moment, his dark eyes unconsciously darkening, "Please forgive me for being unable to share this with you."

Pei Luoyi quietly listened for a long time before finally releasing a breath as if she had come to a compromise, "I understand."

Following which, she picked up the handbag that was placed at the side, and elegantly stood up.

"However, I would like to ask Lawyer Song to pass a message to Mr. Gong on my behalf."

Gazing at the man with burning eyes, Pei Luoyi's lips curled up slightly as she calmly said, "Please tell him that no matter what, I will absolutely not sign this contract."

Her tone was sonorous and forceful, and as soon as her voice fell, her graceful figure had already pulled open the door, and she left without the slightest hesitation.

The door opened by itself.

A tall figure emerged from the darkness behind the door. The cruel and cold aura surrounding him quickly lowered the atmosphere of the lounge to a freezing point.

"Mister Gong."

Song Ming retracted the thoughtful expression on his face and stood up from his chair, looking at the man with a serious expression.

"She didn't sign?"

His deep, cold gaze fell on Song Ming. Although it was a sunny day in June outside, it still caused him to fall into the cold cave and feel a chill all over his body.

"Yes …" Miss Pei seems to have an objection to the agreement. "

A short but unclear cold laughter rang out. Song Ming looked at the man and saw that his lips were curled into a cruel smile, but his eyes were ice-cold.

"Objection?"

Song Ming felt sweat trickle down his temples, and the curve of his head lowered again and again, "Yes …" "Also, when Miss Pei left, let me tell you something …"

Although he knew that this would undoubtedly aggravate the man's anger, Song Ming still said what Pei Luoyi had said after a brief period of silence.

In the cramped space, there was a dead silence for three seconds.

When the man spoke again, Song Ming let out a sigh of relief. However, when he heard the man's instructions to the other side of the phone, his black eyes flashed with a trace of astonishment.

When that astonishment disappeared from his eyes, he let out a soft sigh.

"..."

As soon as she walked out of the building, Pei Luoyi was scared into retreating into the shade by the scorching rays of the sun.

When he arrived, he had been forced into a private car, but he didn't know that it was already midsummer in Cloud City.

She rummaged through her bag, but couldn't find the parasol. She hesitated as she looked at the oven heat a meter away. Sighing, she walked out of the room.

A gust of wind blew through the taxi, ruffling her long hair.

As he pushed away the hair in front of his eyes, he heard the sound of a car skidding to a stop. Several tall men in black clothes and black pants came out of the car and surrounded him.

Kidnapping.

The word popped up in her mind as she recalled the lousy kidnapping scene from the romance TV series.

"What do you want?" Retreating a bit, a hint of vigilance appeared in her eyes.

In fact, an hour ago, she was' invited 'to the private car by a bunch of men with the same attitude. However … This group of people in front of him was even more difficult to deal with. This was because the man in the lead did not seem to be a good person.

Due to the difference in height, the man looked down at her from a vantage point.

Those eyes were too cold. They were so cold that it made one's bones shiver.

"Miss Pei, let's go."
