C3 I will Train You into a Rich Man
Although Tang Xinran appeared calm as she spoke, the slight upturn of her lips betrayed her true feelings.
Qin Huan's expression darkened. How could this naive and ignorant woman, the heiress to Feida Group, not realize that a personal bespoke creation from a world-renowned master was far more valuable than any international luxury brand? Her taste was no better than that of an average passerby!
In a fleeting moment, Qin Huan regretted his impulsive behavior. But then again, it was he who had allowed himself to be reeled in by her.
He stated icily, "I have clothes; I don't need to buy more."
Tang Xinran laughed softly, "Per our marriage contract, I believe you haven't quite adjusted to its stipulations yet. You're required to cooperate with me and fulfill your role as my husband..."
"And my requirement is to transform you into a husband who resembles the enigmatic C Country First Rich Man, Leo!" Tang Xinran declared, her expression serious and not at all playful.
Qin Huan's gaze flickered, "You know who I am?"
"Of course! — Qin Huan, visiting chemistry professor at Yun University, from a distinguished teaching family in the capital! I chose you because you're new to River City, relatively unknown, and you possess a certain quality that I need."
"You want me to impersonate the C Country First Rich Man? That's incredibly vain of you. Aren't you worried that the real Leo will find out and come after you?"
Tang Xinran considered carefully, "Rest assured, Leo is extremely low-profile. There isn't even a genuine photo of him online. He probably has so much money that he's afraid of being kidnapped! Moreover, it's only in River City. As long as you carry yourself with enough presence, it'll be hard for anyone to discern the truth."
Qin Huan scoffed, "Impersonating someone else is fraud and illegal! The contract expressly forbids any unlawful activities!"
"Tch! I'm not asking you to impersonate Leo. I just want you to present yourself in a way that makes others believe you're him..."
"I'm done!"
"Oh? Remember, the marriage contract stipulates that if the marriage hasn't lasted a year and one party breaches the agreement, they must pay a penalty of ten times the original sum, which is ten million. That's a billion yuan..."
Qin Huan was left momentarily speechless by Tang Xinran's brazen audacity. Seizing the moment, Tang Xinran slipped her arm through his, feigning intimacy, "My dear husband, let's go on a shopping spree..."
Qin Huan gave the woman a sidelong glance, his expression unchanging. How could she be so shameless? Casually withdrawing his arm, he said, "Contractor, I've mentioned before, I'm a germaphobe!"
Tang Xinran was momentarily at a loss for words. This man was so affected. She was fair-skinned, beautiful, and pure in both body and heart. Couldn't he see that?
With a forced laugh, she reminded him, "Client, may I remind you of the second clause of our agreement: you're required to display affection in the situations I specify!"
Qin Huan remained silent.
Tang Xinran swiftly looped her arm through Qin Huan's once more. Qin Huan suppressed a grimace. The woman's scent was a subtle, sweet fragrance, reminiscent of youthful fruitiness. It was tolerable, so he endured.
Yunsell Mall was the epitome of luxury in River City, frequented by the wealthy and elite. Tang Xinran led Qin Huan straight to a boutique on the fifth floor, selecting a limited edition Patek Philippe watch, then proceeded to various high-end men's fashion stores, picking out an array of luxury brand clothing for him.
Qin Huan remained quiet throughout, letting Tang Xinran make his sartorial choices.
Indeed, Qin Huan was a natural clothes horse. Standing at an impressive 1.9 meters, his tall and statuesque frame, combined with his strikingly handsome features, meant he could make any outfit look like it was straight off the runway of a top fashion show.
