6: Chapter 6 I Have a Request 6: Chapter 6 I Have a Request An Ruo opened the document with confusion and looked over the terms inside.
There were a dozen or so clauses, all restricting her.
For example, she had to be home by nine o’clock in the evening, forbidden to have ambiguous relationships with other men, forbidden to interfere with her husband’s affairs, forbidden to do anything in her husband’s name…
One clause was particularly ridiculous—An Ruo could only receive five thousand yuan as pocket money each month, and any other expenses were not covered.
An Ruo scoffed inwardly, what kind of husband had she married?
And he was worth tens of billions, yet so stingy and miserly.
“Any problems?” Tang Yuchen asked coldly after she had been silent for a while.
“No problem,” An Ruo lifted her head and said with a faint smile, “However, I have a request.”
Tang Yuchen’s face darkened instantly, “I paid for you, I don’t think you’re in a position to bargain with me.”
Yes, after all, she was just a wife he had bought.
“Even so, I am a person, and I think I still have the right to fight for some benefits for myself,” An Ruo smiled.
Tang Yuchen’s lips curved up slightly, revealing a trace of mockery.
“Speak, what benefits do you want?”
He believed that An Ruo would surely take this opportunity to ask for money.
From his point of view, since the An Family was willing to sell her for money, everything they did was about money.
After thinking for a bit, An Ruo said, “Actually, my request is very simple, just one: live together, sleep separately.
In other words, without my consent, you are not allowed to force me to perform marital duties.
If you agree, I will add this clause, and we both sign it.
A flash of astonishment briefly crossed Tang Yuchen’s eyes.
This woman must have water in her brain.
If she did not perform her duties as a wife, she would be even less favored.
What she should be doing now is to please him and win his affection, so she could have a better life in the Tang Family.
Tang Yuchen stared at An Ruo for a few seconds, but did not see any sign of pretense in her eyes.
Either she truly had no interest in him, or her acting skills were too good and she was playing hard to get.
If it were the latter…
The corners of Tang Yuchen’s mouth lifted slightly, this woman must be very complicated.
“An Ruo, you are my wife, serving me is your duty.
Why should I agree to your request?”
She knew he would say that.
An Ruo had always resented Tang Yuchen for taking her by force the first time, so her words were impolite as well.
“Based on the fact that marrying you puts my life in danger at any time, based on your impure motives for marrying me, based on there being no affection between us, based on the fact that I’m not your only woman.
Are these reasons sufficient?”
Tang Yuchen’s eyes turned sharp, and he couldn’t help retorting, “Your motives for marrying me are pure?
In the end, you married me for the money as well!”
An Ruo felt a sense of hopelessness.
The ones after money weren’t her, but An Mingqi and his family; she was just a victim.
But Tang Yuchen didn’t think so.
Since her last name was An, he must think she was the same as An Mingqi and the others.
An Ruo nodded, “You’re right, I married you with a purpose, and you married me with a purpose.
We each get what we need, isn’t that good?”
Having said that, without giving him a chance to react, she took out a pen, added that clause to the agreement, and signed her name.
“If Young Master Chen has no objections, please sign,” An Ruo handed the agreement to him.
Tang Yuchen took it, glanced at it, and let out a faint, cold laugh:
