"Gu Zhun, what do you mean by this?"
Shen Beitang gripped the contract tightly in both hands. Zhou Man's signature was already neatly completed, while Gu Zhun's signature was still empty.
"I never imagined that I was such a sought-after person, with President Gu going to great lengths to snatch me up."
Shen Beitang said this purely to disgust Gu Zhun. Gu Zhun has always been arrogant and he doesn't believe he can tolerate being provoked like this.
Gu Zhun smiled, said nothing, and went straight into the water in his bathrobe, slowly walking towards Shen Beitang.
"It's just a matter of mutual benefit. I have my own reasons for contacting you."
"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Gu, but I really can't accept the title of 'Mrs. Gu.' I'd appreciate it if you could find someone more suitable."
The Shen family's debts cannot be settled immediately, but even so, in order to live a full life in the future, they must not fall into Gu Zhun's hands.
If I could swim, I would definitely drown you!
Gu Zhun raised an eyebrow, not expecting the kitten to still have the strength to scratch people at this point. It seemed it hadn't been taught a lesson enough.
You want to drown me?
Gu Zhun suddenly leaped out of the water, grabbed Shen Beitang's neck with one hand, and the two of them fell into the water together.
[A madman! Gu Zhun is truly a madman!]
Shen Beitang struggled to climb to the surface of the water, but Gu Zhun held her tightly and rolled over onto her.
The two of them sank to the bottom of the water in this strange, overlapping manner.
Shen Beitang was trying her best to hold her breath, but water kept seeping into her throat, making her throat feel like it was being cut with a knife, and she was getting less and less oxygen.
So this is what it feels like to be on the verge of death...
Gu Zhun, I'll haunt you even as a ghost.
"Don't worry, you won't die without my permission."
Gu Zhun looked at the unconscious Shen Beitang, and slid his thumb between her lips, forcing her tightly closed lips open due to the intrusion of the foreign object.
Gu Zhun kissed him...
As Shen Beitang, who was about to suffocate, greedily inhaled the oxygen he had regained, and finally couldn't resist taking a bite.
[Wow, oxygen cylinders are so soft! They're so comfortable.]
"hiss--"
Gu Zhun touched the corner of his lip; the kitten had bitten him so hard that the skin was broken.
That makes sense, though; if they're too well-behaved, it'll be boring...
——
"If you die, everything will be mine, so hurry up and die."
"Just let it rot in the water..."
...
"don't want!"
Shen Beitang screamed and sat up, strange sounds starting to echo in her head again.
She felt uncomfortable all over; her clothes were wet and stuck to her body like the skin of a snake that had just shed its skin, and her hair was sticky and matted.
[That damned Gu Zhun, why wasn't you struck dead by lightning?!]
"woke up?"
Gu Zhun was wearing a soft, white hoodie and holding a steaming cup of coffee. He looked completely different from the disheveled Shen Beitang.
"President Gu is truly a model of 'cherishing women'."
Shen Beitang's words were sarcastic, and she felt colder the longer she lay down.
Gu Zhun actually left her on the cold floor and sat on the sofa, drinking a hot beverage.
There's a carpet right next to her, is it really that hard to move her up there?
"Didn't you announce yesterday that I'm your fiancée? Mr. Gu, is this how you treat your fiancée?"
Gu Zhun took a sip of coffee and shifted into a more comfortable position.
"Ha, we are only engaged in name, I have no obligation to take care of you."
Furthermore, my blankets and sofa can't get wet, so Miss Chen will have to rest on the floor for a while.
[You slut, a complete and utter slut!]
The price of a blanket is nothing compared to the value of Gu Zhun. He's a heartless scoundrel, what's with the pretense of being thrifty!
"I didn't expect Mr. Gu to be so thrifty and frugal, but," Shen Beitang paused, "even nominally, I don't recall ever agreeing to that."
Gu Zhun didn't say anything, but he held the contract between his fingers and shook it, starting the countdown.
"10, 9, 8, 7..."
"Tangtang, come here, Mom made something delicious for you."
"Chen Wei, you heartless bastard, you just abandoned us, mother and daughter, and left like that..."
The original owner's memories and emotions flooded into her mind. Zhou Man was a good mother who devoted her whole life to Shen Beitang.
Well, consider it repayment for using this body.
"3, 2..."
"I agree."
Shen Beitang picked up the contract. "If I agree, you'll sign it, right?"
"Take it."
Gu Zhun's handwriting was beautiful; his fingers were long and slender, and the pen in his hand looked more like an ornament.
Shen Beitang happily took the contract, planning to secretly surprise Ms. Zhou when he got back.
[You big idiot, anyway, we didn't sign a contract for our deal. I'll just issue a statement when I get back declaring that my engagement to Gu Zhun is null and void. It's not like it's the first time I've broken off an engagement.]
"Wait." Gu Zhun, tall and imposing, blocked Shen Beitang's path.
"Is there anything else you need, Mr. Gu?"
Shen Beitang blinked, but her naturally alluring eyes made her seem rather untrustworthy.
She hid the contract behind her back and tried to squeeze past Gu Zhun, saying, "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
"Take a video before you leave, otherwise I won't trust you."
Gu Zhun took out his personal cell phone and handed it to Shen Beitang.
"What are you trying to do? Even if we're just engaged in name only, I won't film any inappropriate videos!"
The white shirt became semi-transparent from being soaked, revealing pink lace trim. Shen Beitang instinctively covered her chest with it.
Gu Zhun ignored her and simply handed her a piece of paper, saying, "I've already written down what you need to say. Just read it aloud."
"I, Shen Beitang, hereby promise today that, effective immediately, I will become Gu Zhun's fiancée. If I break this promise, the contract between the Shen and Gu families will be void, and the Shen family will be required to compensate the Gu family five times the amount stipulated in the contract!"
Enraged, Shen Beitang tore the paper to shreds and threw it at Gu Zhun, yelling, "Five times the price? Why don't you just rob someone?!"
Gu Zhun: "Six times."
Shen Beitang had nowhere to vent her anger, and Gu Zhun was certain that she wouldn't dare gamble with the future of the Shen family.
“Okay, I agree!” Shen Beitang snatched the phone. “Let’s take the picture.”
"I am Shen Beitang..."
"It's too emotional, too rigid."
I'm not angry; a little anger leads to breast hyperplasia, a lot anger leads to uterine fibroids.
Gu Zhun closed his eyes, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the table, a slight smile playing on his lips as if he had heard a joke.
"Okay, Mr. Gu."
Shen Beitang clenched his teeth, revealing his standard eight teeth, and read it again in his standard broadcasting voice.
Gu Zhun glanced at the video and deleted it immediately. "Did you turn on the beauty filter? Turn it off."
"you!"
I only used a little skin smoothing, does Gu Zhun have a microscope in his eyes? He can see that.
Shen Beitang patiently fiddled with it for another ten minutes. "Is it okay now? The emotions are right, no beauty filters or skin smoothing, just a completely bare face!"
Gu Zhun nodded in satisfaction, put his phone back in his pocket, and said, "You can go now."
When he looked up, he paused for a moment.
