As soon as it was light, Zhou Yu opened his eyes.

Last night's deep sleep was like a fog; he couldn't remember when he fell into a dream, but Xu Xinran's humble and earnest words remained etched in his mind like a knife, impossible to erase.

Xu Xinran, that proud woman, when has she ever spoken to anyone in such a tone?

Beside him, she remained lying on her side, her head resting against his back, her breathing even as she slept.

She said last night, "Let's talk about it tomorrow morning," and now that time has clearly come.

"Xu Xinran, I want to see Shen Shuqing and Miaomiao!"

Zhou Yu deliberately raised his voice to wake her up, both to see Shen Shuqing and his daughter and to seek justice for the grievances he had suffered these past few days.

Xu Xinran suddenly opened her eyes, snuggled closer to him, looked up at him, and seemed to have a flickering fire in her clear, cold eyes.

"Zhou Yu, you woke me up in such a hurry that it's easy for me to misunderstand, to misunderstand that you... have some kind of need."

As she spoke, she glanced meaningfully into the depths of the blanket.

Zhou Yu was taken aback, then understood her implication. His expression changed slightly, and a flash of panic crossed his face.

"Don't get the wrong idea, it's already morning. When are you going to take me to see them?"

He feigned composure, but his tone carried a hint of urgency.

"Not urgent."

Xu Xinran chuckled and lightly tapped his nose with her fingertip, her tone light and cheerful.

"Waiting for someone, soon."

……

Around eight or nine o'clock, a woman dressed in a white suit, exuding a similarly aloof and cool demeanor, walked into the villa.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but think to himself: Birds of a feather flock together.

The woman introduced herself: "Mr. Zhou, hello, I am Mr. Xu's private lawyer. Please take a look at this agreement first. If there are no problems, please sign and put your fingerprint here."

protocol?

Zhou Yu looked bewildered, glancing at the lawyer and then at Xu Xinran.

"What agreement?"

Xu Xinran grasped his hand and chuckled softly, "An agreement that will allow you to rightfully inherit my estate."

These words left Zhou Yu stunned for a long while, then a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. Could it be...?

He picked up the agreement and saw that the first few words read: Prenuptial Agreement.

However, the contents of the agreement were entirely beneficial to him, but detrimental to Xu Xinran in every way.

"I'm entrusting you with everything I own, Zhou Yu. I'm completely sincere. Sign this agreement, and let's get married."

Zhou Yu was stunned for a long time.

"Xu Xinran, what are you trying to do now? Are you trying to make up for it with money? Do you think that will make me accept you?"

He threw the agreement on the ground and firmly rejected it.

"I won't sign this. You can keep me by your side, but I will never marry you, and I will never give you my heart!"

Xu Xinran remained calm and composed, picking up the agreement from the ground with a faint smile on her face.

"Let's sign it if we want Shen Shuqing and the others to be safe and sound."

She handed him the pen and the agreement together, calmly and patiently waiting for him to take them.

He will sign, whether voluntarily or under duress, as long as he becomes her legal husband, she will be content.

"Do you really have to push me like this?"

Zhou Yu sighed deeply, utterly exhausted. Whether in his past life or this one, she always managed to pinpoint his weaknesses.

"Okay, I'll sign!"

He signed his name heavily, feeling as if he had "sold" himself to Xu Xinran.

"Is it okay now?"

"There's still one last step left."
