In the midst of chaos.
In a dark little room, an elderly man with white hair, dressed in army green uniform, stood upright in front of Luo Chao. His broad shoulders were adorned with a plethora of military medals. He shook his head and sighed deeply, "Luo Chao, oh Luo Chao, you disappoint me greatly. How could you make such a basic mistake!"
"Sir, I," Luo Chao didn't know what to say and even more so, didn't know how to explain. His resolute face was full of agony.
"The first Soldier King of Wolf Fang, the first military doctor of the Special Service Team, and the first bodyguard of Zhongnanhai," the senior officer murmured, "You are the first in the history of Huaxia Country to receive such honors, yet you have committed an unforgivable mistake!"
"Sir, can you give me a chance?" Luo Chao's face was blue and painful as he felt he was suffocating. He couldn't imagine what terrifying things he would face next.
"Mistakes come with a price," the senior officer said and ripped off the Wolf Fang Pendant from his chest.
"Ah! No!" A scream echoed in the shabby rental house as Luo Chao woke up from his dream, drenched in cold sweat. He patted his head, tormented by the same recurring nightmare, feeling extremely discomforted.
It was all because of that damned woman. In Luo Chao's mind appeared a face of stunning beauty, looking distressed yet helpless.
At this moment, Luo Chao looked at his phone. It was already 7:30. He had to hurry for work. After washing up, he quickly caught the bus and arrived at the gates of Tengyuan Group Company half an hour later.
With a beep, as Luo Chao just reached outside the parking lot, a Range Rover honked as if calling him. Luo Chao walked over, and as he approached the car door, the window of the front passenger seat rolled down, revealing a beautiful yet icy face, none other than Chairwoman Ning Wanxi.
She was still in a set of OL uniform, which accentuated Ning Wanxi's alluring figure. This kind of uniform temptation would make any man fantasize, let alone such a super beauty.
Luo Chao's gaze inevitably heated up, and Ning Wanxi, neither cold nor warm, said, "Did you bring your household registration booklet?"
"Brought it," Luo Chao replied, intending to say more when Ning Wanxi said, "Get in!"
"Get in?" At this moment, Luo Chao was dumbfounded. Handling resignation procedures required getting in the car? Wasn't it supposed to be handled inside the building? Luo Chao was full of doubts.
Seeing him standing there dumbly, Ning Wanxi furrowed her eyebrows, "I don't have time to waste with you. Hurry up and get in the car!"
Even if being dismissed, I should at least get this month's salary. Today is the first, and I've worked a whole month in March. For a month's salary, Luo Chao reluctantly got into President Ning's Range Rover.
Once Luo Chao was seated, Ning Wanxi drove away from Tengyuan Tower. Luo Chao curiously asked, "President Ning, where are we going?"
"You'll know once we get there," Ning Wanxi said impassively.
Luo Chao leaned back in his seat and laughed, "President Ning, what are you really up to? You wouldn't be planning on selling me, would you?"
The playful smile nearly twisted Ning Wanxi's eyebrows together. She didn't respond but started to dislike Luo Chao even more.
Seeing the annoyance in President Ning's pretty eyes, Luo Chao subconsciously scooted towards the door, and this small move made Ning Wanxi both angry and amused.
Half an hour later, the Range Rover stopped in front of Jiangning City's Civil Affairs Bureau. Seeing the signboard, Luo Chao was a bit confused, "President Ning, what are we doing here?"
"Register for marriage," Ning Wanxi said each word deliberately.
"What!" If it weren't for the seatbelt, Luo Chao would have jumped out of his seat. He stared at President Ning in complete shock.
After a long pause, Luo Chao smiled bitterly, "President Ning, I just whistled. I realize today is April Fool's Day, but you don't have to scare me like this."
"Take this," Ning Wanxi retrieved something from the armrest of the car and tossed it onto Luo Chao. Looking closely, it turned out to be President Ning's household registration booklet.
At this point, Luo Chao was almost in tears, "President Ning, are you serious about this?"
Bringing even the household registration booklet along, it couldn't be fake. Luo Chao felt like he was struck by lightning, not lightly either. He had no money, no car, no house, and was just a security guard getting by. What about him did Ning Wanxi fancy?
However, Ning Wanxi lacked none of these three things.
Seeing his look of resembling someone who lost their father, Ning Wanxi laughingly said with feigned anger, "Did you think I was kidding? Sign this agreement, and we'll get the marriage certificate done."
Right then, Ning Wanxi somehow produced a piece of paper and handed it to Luo Chao. Luo Chao took the agreement and carefully read it through.
Party A: Ning Wanxi
Party B: Luo Chao
Article One: Party B must hold Doudou for no less than one hour daily.
"Who is Doudou?" Luo Chao, the Party B, asked.
Ning Wanxi shockingly replied, "My daughter, she's three months old now."
"Your daughter?" Luo Chao's eyes showed suspicion. How could President Ning suddenly have a daughter? It was known that her condition kept men away, let alone anything intimate.
Ning Wanxi coldly said, "Doudou is my adopted daughter from abroad, born with a very weak constitution, needing the warm embrace of a father to help her grow."
"I see. I can go hold her daily; there's no need for a marriage certificate," Luo Chao said peculiarly.
Unexpectedly, the icy Ning beauty had a moment of overflowing sympathy. Luo Chao thought to himself, going to hold a baby for free every day was fine, but marriage was far too dangerous.
"I don't want Doudou to grow up knowing she's adopted; I want her to know she once had a complete family," Ning Wanxi said seriously.
"That is understandable!"
Article Two: During the two-year agreement period, Party B must interact with Doudou as a real father, aiding her growth.
Article Three: Party B must not, without permission, enter Party A's room or have any ill intentions towards Party A.
Luo Chao read the third article and smirked inwardly. Ill intentions? I'd like to live a few more years, thank you.
Article Four: Party B must conceal the relationship with Party A in front of outsiders; otherwise, compensate Party A with one million for reputational damage.
Article Five: Two years later, after the agreement automatically expires and after divorce, Party A will pay Party B a one-time fee of twenty million, and Party B must not illegally seize any other property of Party A.
Article Six: Party B may not terminate the agreement early without Party A's consent; otherwise, a penalty of one million for breach of contract will be imposed. If Party A terminates early, Party A will pay Party B twenty million at once.
