Passionate Devotion

You’re Marrying Me out of Your Own Will, Aren’t You?

‘Ah… this is so painful.’ Tong Lu was unable to suppress her moans. She had never gone through this, and in an instant, she had grown from a teenage girl to a young woman.

He was fierce and domineering as he p*netrated her. Even though his thrusts were domineering, there was a hint of gentleness in it. She was terrified of him and attracted to him at the same time, and even though she was averse to his touch, she wanted more of it. It seemed to be a game he was playing to make sure that the warning he had given her was imprinted on her soul like a sear.

But her instincts told her that he did not find her attractive, and that he was merely… fulfilling his duty as her husband.

Hence, after he had fulfilled that duty, he did not linger in bed at all. He immediately handed her a marriage registration form.

“Miss Tong, are you really marrying Professor Shuo out of your own will? He is suffering from terminal cancer, and he has at most, half a year to live. His daughter is eight months old, and you will become a widow at a young age, with a child to take care of. Believe me when I say that despite everything, you will never get to remarry for the rest of your life. I hope that you will think this through, as the moment you put down your signature, there will be no turning back.”

The lawyer sounded even more nervous than her. He really hoped that she would realize that she was making a mistake and correct it so that his idol would not be tainted.

Tong Lu hesitated for a moment, and she stealthily glanced at the man who was sitting languidly on the couch. He was propping his chin up with one hand, and his jet-black orbs were fixed on the pen she was holding. He seemed to be in a daze. Tong Lu could not tell whether he was a good or an evil man from his eyes.

Tong Lu’s fingers trembled, and there was trepidation in her heart. ‘Once I take this path, is there no turning back?

‘Even though there’s no turning back, I don’t have a choice, do I?’

Tong Lu felt as if there was a lump in her throat as she put down her signature.

The man’s personal lawyer was indignant, but he had no choice but to pass the items that he had prepared beforehand to her, one by one.

“Miss Tong, this is the betrothal gift of five million RMB. And this is an offer letter from the university Professor Shuo is lecturing at. I am also giving you the keys to an apartment in the university. It’s staff accommodation. You can study while taking care of him and his daughter.”

Tong Lu looked at the offer letter in disbelief. She did not even dare to blink.

She did not fail to enter a university. She made it into Yale, but for some reason, the name of her stepsister from a different mother was printed on the offer letter instead. She did not have the connections required to get to the bottom of the matter. Now, she had the chance to study in a university.

It was a shame that she could not study in Yale, and Shi Yang would not be in the university that she would be studying at. But it was still better than not getting a tertiary education. As she gazed at the wads of cash before her that totalled up to five million RMB, a spark of hope slowly appeared in her heart...

“Miss Tong, if you have any other requests, voice them out.”

“I want to get a morning after pill. Am I allowed to?”

Tong Lu asked in an indirect manner. She actually wanted to tell them that she did not want to have a child with the man.

“Just give birth to the baby if you get pregnant!” The man’s voice was so domineering that there did not seem to be any room for negotiation.

“But I don’t want my child to be without a father from the moment he or she is born. That’s very pitiful!”

The personal lawyer observed his young master’s expression and quickly said, “Miss Tong, in case you get pregnant, how much should we pay you so that you’d be willing to give birth to the baby?”

Tong Lu bit her lower lip. There did not seem to be any reason for her to say no. All wives were supposed to bear their husbands’ children. She was way too naive. “How much do you think that his child is worth? You can give me that sum.”

The personal lawyer thought about it for a moment. “Two billion? Or five billion?”

Tong Lu widened her eyes.

She did not expect the man’s personal lawyer to continue speaking. “I feel that even five billion is too little…”

Tong Lu gulped abruptly, and she could not believe what was happening at all. ‘Isn’t he just a university professor?’

“Actually, I have something to say. One RMB would be enough.”

The man’s gaze sharpened, and he immediately emanated a dangerous aura. ‘How dare this woman say that my child is only worth one RMB!’

“Buy her a morning after pill. She’s not qualified to bear my child!”

Tong Lu’s red lips parted a little. She wanted to say something, but the man had already turned and walked away. He left without looking back, and his aura was as domineering as ever.
