Chapter 2: Rewarding Husband with a Medal

Clearly, at this moment, I should have walked away, should have righteously said that as a member of the Super Guard Team, I didn't need any reward, and my presence was to maintain public order, which was all part of our duty.

But Gu Xia still couldn't resist the temptation. Unconsciously, she moved a few steps forward and silently swallowed, "So, may I ask, what is the prize?"

In fact, when she asked that question, visions of five million in cash, a Maserati sports car, or even a mansion flashed through Gu Xia's head.

After all, VO International was a top-tier rich company in the country, it was said that their president could make over a hundred million just in the time it took to sip a tea—an entity so divine rich, surely the prize they offered wouldn't be laundry detergent or toilet paper, right?

"This is about the prize you won this time. Miss Gu, once you sign, it will come into effect."

Meng Fan was holding a document and placed it on the high-end carved wooden table.

Gu Xia walked over nervously. She even fantasized—was she about to become rich?

Could she move her father out of the tenements in the East Suburb slum?

But, however, nonetheless... when Gu Xia saw the big words on the document, she was stupefied.

— Marriage Agreement

"Assistant Meng, did you get the wrong document?" Gu Xia politely smiled as a reminder.

Meng Fan smiled with utmost grace, "Not at all, this is indeed the ultimate prize from VO International... Congratulations, you've won a wealthy and handsome husband."

The state of Gu Xia's heart could no longer be described by a bolt from the blue.

She had imagined countless times how her husband would appear—through matchmaking, a chance encounter, a one-night stand, or even capturing a suspect herself? But not even with the wildest of imaginations did she consider winning a husband in a lottery. This was... utterly ridiculous.

"Heh, Assistant Meng, this joke isn't funny..." Gu Xia felt it must be some kind of sick joke from the company.

"Miss Gu, this is no joke, we never joke around. Please look over the agreement and if there are no issues, sign it. President Yu is waiting for me to report."

Gu Xia took a deep breath, trying to relax and not be too nervous, then picked up the document to read.

First clause: Miss Gu Xia and Mr. Yu Xiuli are to be married.

Second clause: During the cohabitation period, they must live in the man's private villa.

Third clause: During the cohabitation period, the woman must not initiate contact with the man, and sexual harassment is prohibited.

Fourth clause: Assets prior to marriage are to be notarized, and expenses are to be split after marriage.

Fifth clause: The duration of the marriage is one year, after which the woman must leave.

Sixth clause: During the marriage, the woman must not cheat; otherwise, she must pay the man one billion in compensation.

Seventh clause: One year after divorce, the man will gift the woman a property worth five million as compensation.

Eighth clause: Marriage procedures must be carried out within one week of the agreement taking effect.

Ninth clause: The woman is to cooperate with the man in attending all public activities as a couple.

Tenth clause: One year after the divorce, the woman must not entangle with the man.

After reading the contract, Gu Xia almost cursed out loud; this agreement was even more unequal than the Treaty of Nanjing. Would I sign it? Has my brain been flooded? This damn contract means aside from being President Yu's wife in name, I get no other benefits, with a penalty for cheating on the woman's part, but silence on the man's cheating? And the most faceless clause—prohibiting the woman from touching the man, forbidding sexual harassment, what joke is this? As a superpower user, am I that desperate? Even if he looked like Tom Cruise, I wouldn't lose control, Gu Xia thought the person who wrote this contract must be either a pervert or a moron.

"Miss Gu, have you finished reading it? What do you think?" Assistant Meng asked with a smile.

"I think this contract is idiotic... If this is supposed to be the grand prize, then please let your boss know, I don't want it. He can give it to whoever he likes."

Having said that, Gu Xia casually placed the document on the table, turned around, and walked away.
