Shen Dai started sweating. The person in front of him seemed far yet near, hazy yet clear. His brain froze and he suddenly lost the ability to think. All his emotions disappeared in an instant. He only felt unreal, extremely unreal.
Qu Moyu remained calm and composed as he looked at him.
Shen Dai put his hands into his pockets and lightly clenched them into fists. After settling for a while, he said, “We
 I didn’t know it was
 you.”
“You didn’t know it was me.” Qu Moyu repeated it once, and the corners of his lips slightly curled up.
Shen Dai wanted to hide himself due to embarrassment. It really sounded unbelievable, even he himself wouldn’t believe it.
“Have I let you down?”
“No, no.” Shen Dai hurriedly said.
“Then, let’s get back to the point.” Qu Moyu said, “What requests do you have after marriage?”
Shen Dai breathed slowly, “What requests do you have?”
“This cooperation will be beneficial to both of us. I need you to sign some agreements before marriage to clarify the ownership of property and various rights. After marriage, you can just be a normal wife. You have to stay confidential, low-key, loyal, and know your boundaries.” Qu Moyu spoke quickly and fluently. It was obvious that these words were thoroughly prepared for this moment.
Shen Dai nodded.
“The more specific terms, Lawyer Chen will communicate them with you.” Qu Moyu finally took a glance at the person in charge of legal affairs beside him.
Lawyer Chen smiled and nodded.
“Okay.”
“So, what are your requests? I will provide you with the living conditions suitable of my wife. You don’t have to feel bad, you deserve it. You can also moderately change your future residence according to your habits. Do you have any thoughts on what I mentioned just now?”
Shen Dai noticed that Qu Moyu quickly glanced at his watch again. Sitting here face to face with the one he will soon become legal partners with, he was disappointed to realize that his spiritual world was shaken by such sudden news and his whole life will soon undergo unpredictable changes, that in this destiny of raging storms, his suppressed calmness was his only defense against the unknown. Yet for Qu Moyu, this matter was only worth the brief gap between his lunch break and a meeting, handled quick and simple like everyday work.

Shen Dai raised his head and looked directly at Qu Moyu for the first time. As an omega, it really takes courage to make eye contact with a top-tier alpha, just like a small herbivore looking at a large carnivore, even when the other had no intentions to attack. He asked, “President Qu, where will I be staying? Is it far from the company?”
Qu Moyu was a bit surprised, “You still want to continue working?”
“
I can’t continue working?” Shen Dai hesitated, this job is not only a good job, but also his ideal job. If this is the price that needs to be paid, it’s too much.
“Of course you can, losing an excellent employee like you is the loss of the company.”
Shen Dai immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
“Engineer Shen, you can talk about the legal issues and the course of matters with Lawyer Chen in detail. You can also put forward any questions and demands you may have. I have something else to do. Excuse me first.” He said as he stood up.
“Yes, President Qu.” Shen Dai also stood up.
Qu Moyu is too tall, he is considered tall even among the generally tall alphas. He was like a wall, casting a shadow on Shen Dai. Shen Dai looked up at the man in front of him. The sense of oppression that hasn’t dissipated since entering the room became heavier, even though he clearly looked polite and peaceful.
Although alphas are common in real life, S-level alphas are rare. The pheromone suppression of S-level alphas is extremely terrifying. It’s like holding a heavy weapon, it can defeat both a person’s physical and psychological aspects. It is even prohibited by the law for personal injuries. Although he hasn’t seen it, he has heard of it. Facing others with a gentle attitude is Qu Moyu’s accomplishment as a superior, it made Shen Dai have a good feeling toward him.
Qu Moyu walked away leisurely and left, Shen Dai let out a breath.
Lawyer Chen said politely, “Engineer Shen, please sit down. We still have many details to discuss.” As he spoke, he took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase.
Shen Dai took a glance, “This is the prenuptial agreement, right?”
“Prenuptial agreement is the more relatively general term. This contract not only covers assets, but also confidentiality regulations, reputation, rights and obligations after marriage, and so forth. Of course, as president Qu said, these are our requests, you can also put forward your requests, and I will be responsible for the communication and negotiation.”
Shen Dai picked up the contract and flipped through it, “It’s too thick.”
“It’s alright. You can read it carefully. I’ll be here to accompany you. This is your right, but you can’t take this contract out of this office before signing it.” Lawyer Chen said, “Of course, if you don’t want to look at it, I can briefly summarize the key points for you.”
“Please.”
“The maximum duration of this marriage will not exceed five years, and President Qu will decide when it ends. You must keep this marriage completely confidential. During the marriage and after the marriage, any secrets you may find about President Qu and the Qu family must also be kept. During the marriage, you must fulfill your obligations as a wife. As President Qu said, you must stay confidential, low-key, loyal and, know your boundaries. The so-called boundaries mean that you must obey President Qu’s orders as much as possible and cannot interfere with President Qu’s private life and official business. In regards to lifestyle, President Qu’s housekeeper will follow up with you later. In addition, you may need to cooperate with You Xinghai and President Qu to handle the transfer of some resources. The biggest purpose of this marriage is to integrate the resources of the two companies. The blood bond between you and You Xinghai is the foundation of President Qu’s trust. President Qu’s premarital properties and properties created during this marriage will have nothing to do with you. You cannot conceive president Qu’s offspring without authorization. However, after the marriage ends, President Qu will give you additional compensation. As long as you abide by these agreements, you will get the freedom and respect you deserve as well as a considerable amount of alimony. ”
Shen Dai calmly looked at Lawyer Chen as he talked with ease and fluency. His professionalism and logic were impeccable, but he felt his body turning cold. He isn’t an idealist, but he also can’t treat marriage as a completely utilitarian transaction. Right, his marriage is a transaction, but he doesn’t think marriage should be like this, it’s just that he doesn’t have any better choice. No matter if it were You Xinghai, Qu Moyu, or the person in front of him, they all think this as it should be.
Shen Dai interrupted him, “I agree to it all. I won’t waste your time, let’s just sign.”
Lawyer Chen, with a symbolic smile, was not surprised, “Okay.” He handed the pen to Shen Dai, “Your signature and fingerprint are needed in all the places with sticky tabs.”
Shen Dai buried himself in signing. He thought of how he was signing the contract to sell himself off. If it wasn’t inappropriate, he might want to laugh.
After signing, Lawyer Chen checked patiently and carefully twice, “Thank you for your cooperation.”
“You’re welcome. Then I’ll go back.”
“Don’t you have any requests?” Lawyer Chen put down his standard professional tone and brought out a hint of advice, “President Qu said that you can ask for a more decent life and put forward some reasonable demands.”
“As long as I don’t owe people money, my life will be decent enough. Thank you.” Shen Dai gave his regard by nodding and left unhurriedly.
As soon as he returned to the laboratory, everyone stopped the work on their hands and simultaneously looked at Shen Dai.
Shen Dai laughed, “Don’t gossip, it was nothing.”
Shen Dai is the one with the most seniority here. When the experimental group was just established, he was brought in by his laoshi and has a lot of prestige. So if he didn’t want to say, no one dares to gossip. This is Shen Dai’s favorite part of the academic circle. Rather than gender, qualifications and achievements are more important here.
However, Cheng Zimei is different. They were classmates and could talk about almost anything. Apart from their laoshi, only Cheng Zimei knows about Shen Dai’s debt.
As soon as Shen Dai sat down, Cheng Zimei slid her chair over to him and said in a low voice, “What’s the situation?”
Shen Dai looked at her, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s that I don’t know how to say it.”
“It’s all right, my great scientific research can wait, I have time.” Cheng Zimei blinked at him.
Shen Dai said in embarrassment, “I signed a confidentiality regulation.”
“What, so mysterious.” Cheng Zimei glared. But she knew Shen Dai’s character, if he didn’t want to say, his mouth really could not be pried open. Even the matter of carrying his father’s huge debt, he only told her because he couldn’t hold on by himself and had to ask for help.
Shen Dai smiled bitterly, “Anyway, it should count as a good thing.”
“All right, as long as it’s a good thing.” Cheng Zimei said while grinning, “If one of us becomes rich in the future, don’t forget the other.”
Shen Dai also grinned.
“By the way, which department of headquarters did you go to? Did you meet the Crown Prince?”
“No.”
“That’s a pity.”
“What pity.”
“Don’t pretend. Do you think I don’t know? When have your eyes not followed the Crown Prince whenever we happened to bump into him.”
Shen Dai said quietly, “Isn’t that normal? Since he’s so good-looking.”
“That’s true. Sometimes, I’ll be thinking, is there really such a perfect man in the world? What kind of top-tier omega can be worthy of him?”
You Baiyue is worthy, Shen Dai thought. What puzzles him most right now is that, after knowing that his marriage partner is a perfect S-level alpha, how did You Baiyue get marked by someone else? From You Xinghai’s tone, it doesn’t seem like he suffered from any violence, more like “a children’s ignorance is the family’s misfortune”. Even he felt regretful for You Baiyue.
However, the fact that he was able to marry Qu Moyu on top of getting $10 million for free is equivalent to God stuffing a winning lottery ticket into his mouth. Yet he didn’t feel happy, because the experience of countless predecessors tells him that if virtue doesn’t match, there will always be the disaster that follows.
