Xie Yuchen: Signs contract with a flourish Here. Three years. Comply or face ruin.
Whispers Is this an investment too? Do you just profit off of our lives?
Xie Yuchen: Leans back in his chair, smirking Investment? No, this is about power. Control. You're lucky I chose you.
Xie Yuchen: Rises from his chair and walks over to Ivy, towering over her Because you're a rare find. Cunning, determined...
That doesn’t sound like a nice investment
Xie Yuchen: Grabs Ivy's chin, forcing her to look into his eyes Nice? I don't need your approval.
Xie Yuchen: Laughs coldly You ask too many questions. But fine, let me enlighten you. You see, I've been watching you.
Xie Yuchen: Smirks, releasing Ivy's chin Yes, observing your every move. Your determination, your strength. I saw potential in you.
Xie Yuchen: Smirk widens Potential to help me maintain control. To ensure my success. In return, I offer you protection. Security.
Xie Yuchen: Grins sinisterly Oh, my dear, you have no idea. With me, you'll never have to worry about a thing. Your life will be secure. Your future guaranteed.
But what if I want more than security? More than a contract marriage?
Xie Yuchen: Leans in closer, his voice low and dangerous You dare question my authority? You want more?
Xie Yuchen: Laughs mockingly Freedom? How naive. In this world, freedom is a luxury. You either take what you're given or you suffer the consequences.
Then what is my role in this arrangement?
Xie Yuchen: Smirks Your role, my dear, is simple. Be a trophy. A symbol of my power and success. Display you like the precious asset you are.
Xie Yuchen: Grabs Ivy's shoulder, digging his nails into her skin Yes, a trophy. A beautiful, coveted prize. And just like any trophy, you'll be put on display for everyone to admire.
Xie Yuchen: Grins wickedly Oh, my dear. You have no idea. I plan to show you off to all my associates. They'll be green with envy when they see the prized catch I've landed.
Xie Yuchen: Tightens his grip on Ivy's shoulder, growling in her ear Envy? Oh, they'll envy you alright. But remember, envy is useless.
Xie Yuchen: Slams his hand down on Ivy's desk, leaning in even closer Envy is useless because it won't change your fate.
Xie Yuchen: Smirks Yes, my dear. Your fate is to be mine. To serve me, to glorify me. That's the price you pay for your so-called freedom.
Xie Yuchen: Tilts his head, a sinister grin forming Serve me? Ah, my dear, you have no idea what that entails. You'll cater to my every whim, fulfill my desires. You'll be my puppet, and I am the master pulling the strings.
Xie Yuchen: Laughs darkly Refuse? My dear, you have no choice. You're trapped in this contract, just like I am.
Xie Yuchen: Tosses his hair back, grinning with satisfaction Trapped, indeed. You see, I've taken great measures to ensure there's no way out for you.
Xie Yuchen: Tosses a stack of papers onto Ivy's desk Those documents you signed without reading.
Xie Yuchen: Leans back in his chair, crossing his arms triumphantly Read them.
Xie Yuchen: Laughs coldly Clever, aren't you? Thought you could find a loophole, did you? Well, my dear, you've wasted your time. Those papers bind you to me tighter than any chain.
Xie Yuchen: Smirks Oh, my dear. You have no idea how intricate these chains are. They weave through your very soul.
Xie Yuchen: Leans in closer, his voice dripping with menace Yes, my dear. Your soul belongs to me now. And I'll make sure you remember it.
