章 45: I Will Wear Makeup Even When I Sleep
編集者: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"Reason."
"Since we're going to divorce after a year anyway, why cause such a ruckus and attract publicity? I plan on getting married again in the future."
Beiming Shaoxi's facial expression instantly hardened and turned icy cold. His eyes smoldered with boiling rage. Who else did she plan on getting married to?!
"I will convince grandfather. If he agrees, then there really would be no reason for us to have a wedding right?"
"After marrying you, I plan on continuing my education. None of us should intrude upon the other's freedom."
"I shall not attend any of your family's high society events, including all forms of social gatherings."
"You shall not judge or criticize my taste and clothing style. I will be free to wear whatever clothes I want because that is my own business."
"I took ten million from Sen Xinmei. You help me repay her the money, and convince her to give up on the aspect of you two being together so she won't trouble me any further."
"By the way, help me do something about those women who are crazy about you. I don't want to experience the drama…"
"I need my own private bedroom…"
Ji Anan went on in an orderly fashion while Beiming Shaoxi stared at her intently as he sat on a lavish palace sofa.
He studied the serious expression on her face, and pondered over how she had thoroughly thought out the matter without leaving any unaccounted details in her calculations…
She really did plan on divorcing him in the future, and all her efforts served as a cushion in preparation of their separation. She had already planned out her backup plan early on.
His eyes gleamed ravenously like a wolf's, and he itched to touch her, "You are my wife, so the newly-wed couple is going to sleep in separate beds?"
Ji Anan bit her bottom lip. She knew this rule was a little too overbearing, and there was no way the old man would agree to this.
The reason he was so adamant that they marry was so he could see his great-grandchild. If they slept in separate beds, where would the baby come from?
"Then I'll sleep on the bed, but don't you dare come crawling on my bed and do anything obscene to me. Or else, our marriage will be annulled!" Ji Anan thought about how she would practically be trapped in the same room as an opportunistic wolf everyday, and her heart sank.
Beiming Shaoxi smirked teasingly, "What if Miss Ji volunteers herself?"
"Then let's add an exception to the rule: unless I volunteer myself."
Beiming Shaoxi's long eyelashes flickered as a sly expression flashed through his eyes. Sooner or later, she will volunteer herself eventually…
"Women are ugly after they take their makeup off...like a wet dog. Have you seen it before? Therefore, after we get married, I will wear makeup even when I sleep. This is my personal weird habit so you have to tolerate it."
Beiming Shaoxi said mockingly, "Actually, Miss Ji wouldn't look that different even without makeup on."
Her makeup skills weren't that impressive, yet she had loads of makeup products…
"Just like there's always going to be things you have never seen before, there's always going to be ugly people whom you have never seen anyone as ugly as." Ji Anan made an intimidating expression, "When I look into the mirror, I feel frightened by my own ugliness."
"Since I agreed to marry you, that means I never gave any thought to your looks."
As long as she agrees to marry into the family, any so-called rules will be flushed down the drain…
"Also, don't you dare take sneak peeks at me while I shower…"
Did he even have the need to take sneak peeks? It was only natural for married couples to shower together.
…
They continued to discuss some rules in more depth. Then, the big boss pressed down on the intercom, and ordered someone to summon his team of lawyers over here so they could draw up the marital agreement in front of them.
Ji Anan closed her eyes with resignation, as if she were an inmate of death row awaiting her execution.
She grew more and more anxious, and started pacing back and forth across the room. Then, she walked up to the window to pull open the curtains…
Beiming Yechen was pressed up against the window glass like an octopus.
Being suddenly discovered caught him off guard. Beiming Yechen's body shook a little and he nearly tumbled down from losing his foot on the ladder.
He made all sorts of facial gestures to send Ji Anan the message that he didn't want Beiming Shaoxi to discover him eavesdropping.
After grasping his message, Ji Anan proceeded to do the exact opposite. She shouted loudly, "Beiming Yechen, how dare you eavesdrop on our conversation from outside the window?"
Beiming Yechen, "..." Traitor.
Ji Anan glared at him. She had been betrayed by Beiming Yechen a couple of times anyway, so this was payback time.
Beiming Shaoxi's piercing eyes swept over before Beiming Yechen even had the chance to escape...
