C10 No Obligation to Accompany the Party in Bed

Qin Huan swept his gaze over her and challenged, "Do I look malnourished to you? I just don't like the taste of meat that's not homemade."

His presence, that look in his eyes, he was a quick study indeed!

He even outshone Zhan Yi with the air of a tycoon. It's no surprise that someone raised in a Literary Aristocratic Family picks up things so quickly!

Xinran felt somewhat pleased with Qin Huan's aptitude for learning, yet no matter how sharp his intellect, he still needed to be under her control.

She intended for Qin Huan to be submissive and trainable in her presence, Tang Xinran. His impressive aura was something to be wielded on others, not her!

Therefore, Xinran cleared her throat, straightened her posture, and spoke with gravity, "As the second party, please remember your primary duty! Act as my husband according to my wishes! You may look fine on the outside, but who knows if you're malnourished underneath? I'm insisting you eat more meat now!"

"Underneath the clothes?" Qin Huan fixed his eyes on Xinran. "Are you finding creative ways to get me to undress for you? The contract clearly states that the second party is not obliged to share a bed with the first party!"

"Who's asking you to share a bed? Don't flatter yourself, bookworm!" Xinran snapped, her irritation flaring. "With my beauty, there's no shortage of men willing to be with me!"

"First party, I must remind you that even though our relationship is contractually defined, if you seek the company of another man during our contract, I can sue you for infidelity," Qin Huan retorted.

Xinran was momentarily at a loss for words. The perils of being too educated, she thought, feeling as if she'd shot herself in the foot.

But how could she not manage the second party she'd acquired?

Who was the first party? The one who pays, of course, and she must always maintain a position of strength.

Only then would the second party heed her guidance!

Xinran spoke earnestly, "According to nutritional science, a vegetarian diet isn't conducive to stimulating brain cell metabolism. Throughout our contract, you need to maintain a high IQ to assist me in achieving our goals. If your intelligence falters and jeopardizes the flawless execution of our plans, the first party reserves the right to deduct from the second party's year-end bonus."

Qin Huan stated icily, "Rest assured! You could eat a ton of pork and still not match my intelligence when I'm on a vegetarian diet!"

"You're the one eating a ton of pork!" Tang Xinran retorted furiously.

Doesn't this insufferable man realize that women despise obesity the most?

His emotional intelligence is seriously concerning!

Then she remembered Lin Jiaxin mentioning that Qin Huan hailed from a Literary Aristocratic Family, a bookworm who was all about his studies and clueless about women.

Wasn't it his blank slate that she had initially been drawn to, seeing it as a canvas ripe for her guidance?

Clearly, it was time to accelerate the emotional intelligence training for this scholarly dolt!

Zhan Yi, feeling pity for Tang Xinran who unwittingly brought a cunning wolf into her midst, came to her defense: "Little First Party, my senior brother is... a candid intellectual. Don't take it too hard! We're now complicit in a shared secret! You can't just deceive my senior brother. You need to disclose why you're signing him as the second party, or else we can't properly collaborate!"

Qin Huan chimed in, "Intellectuals earn their keep with dignity! I'll complete the task swiftly to claim my reward! I've heard you only get two million a month for expenses, yet you splurged on all those luxury items to impress me! I'm seriously doubting you'll honor the payment in our contract!"

Tang Xinran responded heatedly, "Just two million? Why would I stiff you? Once I regain the shares of Feida Company, I'll have billions! If you do well, I might even throw in a few extra billion as severance!"
