[Dark children's book illustrator x gentle, refined top philanthropist]
1.
Her fans all know that Xia Qi has a peculiar obsession: she adores long, slender, sexy necks, on men and women alike.
When she once again made the outrageous request to cuddle up to Liang Jin, whom she'd only met a handful of times, he turned her down gently and firmly.
"Miss Xia, given how close we are right now, I don't think that would be appropriate for a second meeting."
A little disappointed, she stared at the cool, pale skin along his neck, where blue veins stood out, and recalled how her heart had pounded the first time she'd gotten close to him. It took all her strength to resist the urge to lean in and cuddle up to him.
"However, if I had a wife, I'd be more than happy for her to do that whenever she wanted."
Liang Jin smiled and took a small velvet box from his coat pocket. "Perhaps you'd be willing to do me a little favor?"
2.
Liang Jin, a top philanthropist, is humble, approachable, gentle, and refined, the perfect gentleman in everyone's eyes in Lin City.
Xia Qi, the queen of dark illustration, is arrogant, sharp-tongued, dismissive of everyone, and utterly self-centered. She's the number-one nightmare for Lin City's keyboard warriors, who can't stand her but can't take her down either.
When news broke that the two had been "secretly married for four years and had a son," Lin City's media erupted:
A philanthropist and a hypocrite joining forces: Is this the death of humanity or the collapse of morality?
Shocking! The ultimate showdown between extreme genes! Will their child grow up to be an angel or a demon?...
No one knew that this so-called four-year secret marriage was nothing more than a contract signed in ten minutes.
3.
After the wedding, Xia Qi lounged in the spa room of their detached villa, enjoying a luxurious private hydrotherapy treatment. With a plaster-like face mask on, she glanced over the marriage contract:
[Party A: Xia Qi; Party B: Liang Jin.
1. Party A will cooperate with Party B in putting on an act, helping the foundation maintain a wholesome family image.
2. Party A may cuddle up to Party B at any time, and Party B must comply unconditionally. The frequency, form, and timing of their married life are entirely up to Party A.
3. Party B will publish no fewer than 9,999 copies of Party A's picture books every month and cover all associated risks and expenses.
4. Since the marriage inconveniences Party A's private life, Party B will transfer 1,000,000 yuan to Party A each month as compensation for emotional distress.
She flipped through the pages. "Perks, perks, perks, perks..."
Apart from the first clause, which would take some effort on her part, everything else was a perk.
Her new husband really was a philanthropist. He even made a charitable donation out of their marriage.
Xia Qi smiled with satisfaction. Turning her head, she saw the four-year-old Liang Chuche, working like a servant and obediently waiting on her.
There was just one thing that made her suspicious.
This so-called "child of her late cousin" seemed to look a lot like her mild-mannered philanthropist husband.
Wait, could it be...
