An Unexpected Encounter: The Contracted Romance

"是谁?"任瑶小心翼翼地问道,她的手已经握住了藏在背后的胡椒喷雾.她深吸一口气,猛地把门拉开.

站在外面的是两个魁梧的男人,他们凶狠的表情就像死神一样令人生畏."任瑶,对吧?你欠了三十万元的房租和水电费.付钱!"其中一个男人粗暴地咆哮着.任瑶愣住了.三十万?她刚到这个地方——她会在哪里积累这样的债务呢?"你一定找错人了,"她强迫自己保持冷静."别胡说八道!"另一个男人不耐烦地咆哮着,粗暴地推搡着她."租约在你的名下,所以你就是死人!"任瑶向后踉跄着,差点摔倒.外面,雨无情地倾盆而下,每一滴都冰冷而无情.她再一次感到自己被推入了绝望的深渊.就在这时,一辆黑色的迈巴赫停在了门口.一个高大优雅的男人走了出来,手里拿着一把光滑的黑色雨伞走过来.他深邃的目光锁定在她的身上."她欠多少钱?我来掩盖它,"男人冷静地说.是罗毅.男人们咄咄逼人的举止在看到他时动摇了.嘟囔了一声后,他们迅速撤退.罗毅将注意力转向任瑶,嘴唇卷曲成淡淡的,神秘的笑容."任小姐,我们又见面了.我有个求婚要给你——契约之爱.任瑶愣住了.契约爱情?那是什么胡说八道?她本能地想拒绝."我...""别急着拒绝,"罗毅打断了他."我可以给你报复家人的力量."他锐利的目光与她相遇."你所要做的就是扮演我女朋友的角色."任瑶的心猛烈地跳动着.报复她的家人...这是她最绝望的愿望.她咬着嘴唇,她的情绪在冲突中盘旋."有什么收获?"罗毅轻笑一声,仿佛一切都在如他所计划的那样展开."这很简单.一年.在那之后,你就自由了.他递给她一份文件."花点时间好好想一想.一旦你决定了,就在这里签名.任瑶略过了合同.深吸一口气,她拿起笔,毫不犹豫地签下了自己的名字."很高兴和你做生意,"罗毅说,满意地笑着把合同收起来."我们走吧.我带你去个地方.他指着黑色的迈巴赫,示意她跟上.任瑶踏上车,车子静静地滑入了雨中.她不知道前方会发生什么,但她确信一件事——没有回头路了."Take us to…" Luo Yi paused briefly, "The Grand Universe Hotel."The Grand Universe Hotel was a dazzling beacon in the heart of the city, its lights as radiant as a precious gem.Luxury cars lined the entrance, and the air buzzed with the heady blend of wealth and opulence.Luo Yi held Ren Yao's hand as they stepped into the lavish ballroom.Ren Yao felt out of place amid the grandeur, her unease evident.Sensing her discomfort, Luo Yi tightened his grip on her hand, giving her a reassuring look."Ladies and gentlemen," Luo Yi's voice cut through the murmur of the crowd, "allow me to introduce my girlfriend, Ren Yao."His tone left no room for doubt.All eyes turned toward them, curiosity and intrigue gleaming in the gazes of the elite.Ren Yao forced a polite smile, trying her best to appear composed.As people approached with flattering remarks, she quickly realized Luo Yi's status was far more extraordinary than she'd imagined.Suddenly, the grand doors burst open.A group of burly men stormed in, their aggressive energy slicing through the refined atmosphere.Leading the charge was Ren Yao's mother, her shrill voice ringing through the hall, "Ren Yao! You ungrateful brat! Come home with us right now!"The room descended into chaos, whispers and gasps rippling through the crowd.Luo Yi's gaze turned icy, a formidable aura radiating from him.He gestured subtly, and his bodyguards immediately stepped forward to block Ren Yao's mother and her entourage."Escort them out," Luo Yi commanded, his tone as cold as steel.Ren Yao's mother attempted to create a scene but was swiftly dragged out into the night by the unyielding guards.Watching the ordeal, Ren Yao felt a whirlwind of emotions.This man had effortlessly dismantled her troubles, shielding her from humiliation.She looked at Luo Yi with gratitude, only to find him gazing at her with a tenderness she hadn't noticed before.When the event finally ended, Luo Yi personally drove her home.Inside the car, an unusual tension lingered, as if the air had thickened.Luo Yi leaned closer to her, his voice a low murmur that sent shivers down her spine."From now on, you're under my protection."Ren Yao's heart skipped a beat, an unfamiliar warmth spreading through her chest.In this unfamiliar city, she felt like a lone leaf adrift in the wind.Yet, his words were like an anchor, grounding her, giving her a fragile sense of safety.She glanced up at him. In the dimly lit car, his sharp profile exuded a quiet strength, his eyes as deep as the night sky.For the first time, she felt that her fate was beginning to shift.Back in her small apartment, Ren Yao turned on her phone and found an anonymous text message waiting for her:"Stay away from Luo Yi, or face the consequences."The terse message was like a bucket of cold water, dousing her fragile hope.Who was this?An enemy of Luo Yi?Or... her own?Ren Yao gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white.A storm of doubt and unease churned within her.She stared at the message, her eyes narrowing with determination."The game," she whispered under her breath, "has begun."
