While others face unemployment upon graduation, Chen Jinyue faced bankruptcy. Waking up one day, she inherited millions in debt. Her younger brother absconded with all the cash, fleeing abroad. To ...
Chapter 344 What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine
The scene fell into an eerie silence.
Yu Jianing didn't even eat the melon, and was no longer curious about how their love was progressing so quickly.
He just turned and looked at Zhou Yichuan in shock.
Mr. Zhou, who is so domineering, cool and arrogant, actually gets nervous?
Wasn't he quite confident throughout the whole proposal?
The other subordinates should not laugh at their boss's joke, but just eat in silence, thinking by the way, should they not have come to this dinner?
Chen Jinyue was attracted by Rong Xingye's words. "Agreement? What kind of agreement did you reach?"
Rong Xingye, like other elders in the Rong family, is very strict with her significant other.
It's quite strange that I came here to bear witness today for the first time.
Intuition has something to do with this agreement.
"Ask him."
Rong Xing pointed out some wild words, but then stopped talking.
Chen Jinyue looked at Zhou Yichuan, "???"
Zhou Yichuan was now eager to bring up a topic to divert the embarrassment caused by his brother, and immediately took over the conversation.
"Since we're talking about a big project, we need to be more formal. You're a wealthy woman now, and I can't take advantage of you. I've drafted three versions of a prenuptial agreement, and I'd like you to review them for me."
At this point, he smiled and said, "Didn't you say it before? Only when the interests are clearly divided can the relationship last."
Chen Jinyue, “…”
That was my impression after watching the divorce case. I was so rational at that time that it became abnormal.
At the moment she agreed, she actually didn't think about anything.
but……
Instead of discussing the prenuptial agreement with her, he went to discuss it with Rong Xingye. This doesn't seem like a reference, but rather a strategy?
The look in her eyes as she looked at Zhou Yichuan changed from confusion, to understanding, and then to confusion again.
So, Rong Xingye was so satisfied with his three versions of the prenuptial agreement that he actually approved of him so much?
…
Chen Jinyue found out soon.
Zhou Yichuan took her back to his home that night and handed all three to her, asking her to choose one.
She went through them one by one and found that they were all very similar.
To sum it up, it is that classic saying -
What's yours is mine, and what's mine is still mine.
Of course, this sentence was said from Chen Jinyue's perspective.
Chen Jinyue inexplicably reconciled his timeline. "In the early morning, you used these agreements to win over Rong Xingye, then called and played the victim to convince Zhou Yanhe to agree to your decision to transfer the shares to me?"
She did not forget what Zhou Yanhe said at that time: It’s not for you, it’s for his brother’s wife.
"Second brother doesn't need my persuasion. I have no intention of taking what he has." The financial power of the Zhou family has always been in the hands of the second brother.
But the greater the power, the greater the price.
Although he occasionally took advantage of him, he never thought of taking away his hard work because of a marriage.
Although he is a scoundrel, he has no problem supporting his wife on his own.
After a pause, he added, "But he's willing to give it to you, and it's up to you to decide whether to accept it or not."
Chen Jinyue nodded thoughtfully, "If that's not the case, then you are really anxious and nervous?"
Zhou Yichuan, “…”
His expression looked a little unnatural.
He pushed all three agreements onto her and abruptly changed the subject.
"You take a look first, and then choose one. Once you're sure everything is OK, we'll return to the capital after the manor opens for a formal meeting..."
"I won't choose any of the three."
Chen Jinyue decisively pushed the agreement back. "A prenuptial agreement is to protect the interests of both parties, not my personal interests. If we want to get married, I'll find someone to draft a new one."
Talking about money does not affect feelings.
Entering into marriage vaguely ties the interests of two people together, and then falling out because of interests will affect the relationship.
But all this must be based on equal conditions.
"If you want to get married?" Zhou Yichuan repeated her words in disbelief.
Chen Jinyue was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, we should..."
"It's only been a short time. You just promised me this afternoon, and you've forgotten it? And you still want to get married? Are you taking this as a joke?" Zhou Yichuan was irritated by her words.
Chen Jinyue explained, "That's not what I meant..."
"So what do you mean? Are you not satisfied with this proposal? Actually, I'm not satisfied either. I can ask again! But since you agreed, you can't just pretend it never happened!"
“???”
The proposal scene from the afternoon was still there. The servants in the villa had all gone on holiday, but no one had left.
But the atmosphere now is completely different from that in the afternoon, and it feels quite deserted.
Zhou Yichuan looked at the girlish decoration and thought about how Chen Jinyue had expressed before that he didn't like this style very much.
Now I regret it, very much. "I just asked your friend about your preferences! She was very enthusiastic to help, and even dragged Manager Zhang along, saying they were all your friends! This is a matter between two people, and I didn't want to be disturbed..."
He chattered to himself, recounting the embarrassing situation that had occurred in the afternoon.
Chen Jinyue stared at him in amazement.
This is the first time I have seen Zhou Yichuan like this.
He suddenly believed it. He couldn't sleep at three in the morning, so he called Zhou Yanhe.
She held his face, leaned over and blocked his mouth.
The sound stopped abruptly.
Chen Jinyue's eyelids trembled. Even at such a close distance, she could see that her was all in his eyes.
My heart was beating so fast, and suddenly someone grabbed the back of my head and kissed me hard.
It was unknown how long it was before the man slowly let her go. Unsatisfied, he bit her lips lightly, his voice sounding quite vicious.
"Chen Jinyue, don't regret it!"
Chen Jinyue's eyes were blurry and his voice was breathless. "Boss Zhou, I discovered a secret."
Zhou Yichuan put his arm around her waist and easily lifted her onto his lap. "What?"
Chen Jinyue hugged his neck and said with a sweet smile, "You're a little bit in love!"
The man tightened his grip around her waist, pulling her closer to him. "So what?"
Chen Jinyue did not resist, but leaned softly on his chest, rubbing his forehead against his chin affectionately, "It's not that great, don't worry, I won't bully you!"
The girl in his arms was so delicate and soft, and her wholehearted dependence on him made his heart melt.
His eyes darkened.
He ran his long fingers through her hair, lifted her head, and placed another kiss on her.
He kissed her intermittently, and asked in a low, hoarse voice, in a gentle and persuasive manner.
"Ms. Chen, when can we get the marriage certificate?"
"Um?"
Chen Jinyue's eyes were wet. He didn't understand why the topic changed so quickly. He couldn't tell whether the soft sound of doubt was a murmur or a question.
The man's eyes were as dark as ink, and his big hand held her along her curves, feeling the softness and smoothness in his palm.
He continued in a low voice, as if bewitching, "After we get the certificate, I'll let you bully me."
Chen Jinyue was moved, and replied with misty eyes, "Is it not possible without getting a marriage certificate?"
Zhou Yichuan stopped talking and gently pushed her away, "No."
Chen Jinyue, “???”
