Chapter 1545 Shared Wife 19
Song Jinhuan looked incredulous. "Isn't Yuan Xiu your man? How come there's no contract of indenture for him?"
Jiang Yuanqing covered his mouth and chuckled, explaining calmly to the girl's question: "Miss Li, you may not know this, but although Yuanxiu works for me, he is a free man of the martial arts world."
That reason is plausible.
Song Jinhuan chuckled inwardly, but asked curiously, "Why is Ke Yuan's cultivation restricted by you?"
"He doesn't look like a free person."
A glint flashed in Jiang Yuanqing's eyes, and he smiled meaningfully, saying in a low voice, "It's probably because I'm being entrusted with a task and I'm doing my duty."
"The day of his wedding will be the day he is relieved of his guard duties."
Song Jinhuan clicked her tongue inwardly; those words were truly brilliant.
Jiang Yuanqing added, "I can agree to all the conditions Miss Li has listed."
Song Jinhuan was always a straightforward person. He took out a pastel inkpad box from his pocket, opened the lid, and used his index fingernail to lift a little bit of inkpad from the surface before placing it on the last line.
The conspicuous red text crossed out the black words.
After finishing, the fingertip is plunged into the ink pad to ensure the fingerprint is stained before pressing it onto the paper.
Song Jinhuan pushed the paper over, "If there are no problems, then put your fingerprint on it."
Jiang Yuanqing's gaze fell on the two names below, 'Jiang Yuanqing' and 'Li Bao'er', and the corners of his lips curled up almost imperceptibly.
Holding the wide sleeve with one hand, her well-defined fingers pressed into the red, instantly staining her jade-like fingertips with a vibrant color—a tiny touch, yet surprisingly fitting.
Seeing that he had pressed his handprint, Song Jinhuan hurriedly took out another copy from her sleeve and repeated the previous action, then looked over expectantly.
Jiang Yuanqing smiled and pressed the button.
Song Jinhuan picked up one of the documents, folded it as she spoke, and thought to herself with delight, "From now on, we're family."
In this day and age, only a signed document can put her at ease.
Especially when the weaker party is in a vulnerable position.
Even if the other party is a villain, if you have evidence, you can expose it to the public and let everyone see how this person makes a fool of themselves.
In front of her, Jiang Yuanqing solemnly tucked it into his sleeve.
"Don't worry, I will send people to protect the Li family of three secretly."
"As for the betrothal gifts, they will all end up in your pocket."
The agreement has six clauses; if you cross one out, you'll have five left.
Besides protecting the Li family, this also includes her safety, the betrothal gifts, and the Jiang family's unconditional cooperation in her actions, as well as their full support when needed.
This is actually more like an unfair treaty.
If they can't reach an agreement, my impression of her will worsen, and the marriage might not even have anything to do with her anymore!
However, the process went exceptionally smoothly, which left her slightly disappointed.
You'll agree to these conditions too!
It seems she will have to make a huge sacrifice.
"Ms. Li, in order to have a harmonious relationship after marriage, I hope you can take some time to cultivate our feelings before the wedding."
Song Jinhuan readily agreed, adding, "As long as Young Master Jiang treats me with sincerity."
As they were talking, the sky suddenly darkened, and the pattering raindrops fell on the windowpane, filling the room with a soft, rhythmic sound.
The girl rested her chin on her hand, gazing at the raindrops blown sideways by the wind outside the window. Suddenly, her wandering gaze sharpened, and she gently patted her forehead: "Ouch!"
Jiang Yuanqing's pale face showed worry as he asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
"Yuan Xiu went to the blacksmith shop without an umbrella; he'll probably get soaked when he comes back."
She got up and started to walk out, saying, "No, I have to bring him an umbrella."
Jiang Yuanqing's calm voice carried a subtle sense of pressure: "Wait."
