C2 I will be Taken Care of by the Top Men

An hour flew by in no time.

Tang Xinran approached Qin Huan's desk, finding herself captivated by the sight of him engrossed in a book. His allure was undeniable, and his looks were off the charts!

"How are you feeling about it?"

"I've crunched the numbers. As a leading professor in my field, I may teach, but my annual salary is no less than five hundred thousand. The equivalent of twenty years of my salary should match your husband's yearly income. Ten million is a fair asking price!"

The poor scholar was not just impoverished but also audacious!

Glancing at Qin Huan's face, which outshone even the most popular male celebrities, Tang Xinran convinced herself that it was like hiring a star for an endorsement. With that perspective, the price seemed reasonable. She nodded in agreement, "Fine, ten million it is!"

"I want a check!"

"Okay!"

"And don't forget, the ten million bonus at the end of the year is still on the table after the task is completed!"

"Absolutely, no problem at all, as long as you fulfill the requirements!"

Qin Huan's gaze was cool and clear, "What task do you want me to complete?"

Clearing her throat with a hint of seduction, Tang Xinran laid out the terms, "It's quite straightforward. First, act as my husband as per my instructions. Second, display affection with me at the events I choose."

"Is that all?"

"Yes, that's it. I'll include these conditions in the marriage contract, along with the ten million for a divorce after one year. Naturally, if either of us breaches the contract first, they'll owe the other ten times the penalty for breaking the agreement!"

"Bring the marriage contract over for signing! Once we're done, we'll head to the Civil Affairs Bureau for the marriage certificate!"

"Ah... you're agreeing to this?"

With a touch of arrogance, Qin Huan lifted his chin, "Money can't sway the heart of an intellectual, but as it happens, I'm in the midst of a research project that could use additional funds and support..."

A sanctimonious charlatan, after money yet feigning high morals!

Internally, Tang Xinran scoffed at his pretense, yet she couldn't help feeling elated. A blank canvas was perfect for creating a masterpiece! This poor scholar, who wore his heart on his sleeve, would be all the easier to manage and mold!

Stepping out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, Tang Xinran clutched the red marriage certificate booklet, still in disbelief.

She was now a married woman!

Observing the man before her, with his impeccably refined features and statuesque physique, not to mention his air of innate nobility, Tang Xinran felt that the ten million was indeed money well spent.

Having such an extraordinarily handsome man by her side would certainly turn heads wherever she went!

Xinran was eagerly anticipating the day when she would have trained Qin Huan to perfection. She imagined the moment they would confront the evil couple, who would undoubtedly be consumed with regret upon seeing them.

The chatter of other couples at the marriage registration office filled the air. "Wow, that couple is stunning! They must be the most glamorous pair in River City! They look so perfect together…"

"Is it all about good looks, though? Look at her, draped in designer clothes, bags, and jewelry. But his clothes and watch? You can't even tell the brand. He looks like he's married into wealth…"

"Oh, you have quite the eye for detail, dear," one husband commented. "Maybe that man is just living off his good looks…"

"Exactly, which is why you shouldn't just gaze at his face. I may not be as handsome as him, but I work hard to earn money and take care of you, not like those pretty boys waiting for a wealthy patroness…"

Hearing these remarks, Tang Xinran struggled to contain her amusement, barely suppressing a hearty laugh. "Come on! Let's head to Yunsell Mall, the biggest shopping center in River City. I'll get you some designer outfits…"
