Xi Ran lost both her parents at a young age and grew up in an orphanage. Even the director couldn't play with them for too long, for fear that they would become dependent on the orphanage. As a result, Xi Ran was indifferent from a young age and didn't know how to say nice things to please people.

So even though Xi Ran was recognized and returned to the Xi family, her life didn't get much better.

Xi Ran's parents arranged a small apartment of over 100 square meters for her, and deposited 10,000 yuan into her card every month. Apart from that, they would go home for a meal together on the 15th of each month. Everything else seemed to be the same as before.

Even within the company, with Xi Meng sowing discord, Xi Ran's situation became even worse than before.

Xi Ran was dragged into every kind of TV drama that no one else wanted to film, and every drinking party that no one else wanted to attend.

That's what happened last night.

I never expected that Xi Meng would drug me, wanting to ruin me completely.

Xi Ran felt more and more wronged as she thought about it. Her eyes were red and tears were about to fall, but she stubbornly kept her eyes open and tried her best to hold back the tears.

The hem of her skirt was unconsciously crumpled by Xi Ran.

Why is she so unlucky... In other novels, the female protagonist is rewarded and pampered when she finds her biological parents, but in her case, not only does she have to tolerate everything, but she is also framed and bullied...

Now he's stuck here with this big shot Li Xin, and he's expected to repay this debt of gratitude by offering himself to him and spending the rest of his life in marital bliss...

Thinking this, a large tear fell onto Xi Ran's hand.

Li Xin caught a glimpse of Jingying out of the corner of his eye, and his gaze faltered slightly.

The words I wanted to say swirled in my mind, and I spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Don't rush to cry. There will be many benefits to marrying me."

"I need someone I find agreeable to occupy my place. Don't overthink it; I just want to appease the pressure from my elders. As long as you don't cause trouble or have affairs, I'll give you all the resources and dignity that Mrs. Li deserves."

"Although your Xi family has made some money in recent years by being related to the Shen family through marriage, it is nothing to me."

"If I become your husband, not only will I be able to help you become the eldest daughter of the Xi family, but I can also help you if you want to oust your parents and become CEO Xi yourself."

"Don't you want to see those who bullied you in the past trampled underfoot, groveling and begging for mercy?"

"Would you like to consider this offer?"

Xi Ran's eyelashes were still glistening with tears. She stared blankly at Li Xin, her mouth slightly agape.

My mind went blank; I couldn't quite process what was happening.

Why does it sound like marriage only has advantages and no disadvantages when he says that?

Impossible... Xi Ran, the person in front of you is the heir of the Li family!

A businessman like him is extremely cunning; why would he do something that has no profit?

"Why me? What good would marriage do you? You've been single for so long, you shouldn't care about all this pressure anymore, right?"

Li Xin's lips curled up almost imperceptibly.

Not too stupid.

Indeed, the excuse of having to deal with his family's pressure was just something Li Xin came up with on the spot.

The man stared intently at Xi Ran, like a beast eyeing its most delicious prey.

"Naturally, it's because Miss Xi satisfied me very much last night."

Li Xin has always been direct in his actions, succinctly stating his desires. Now that he's already made his point clear, there's no need for him to hide anything any longer.

"Of course it's good for me. So this marriage isn't for nothing. If you agree, you'll need to fulfill the duties of a wife, except for necessary and unavoidable reasons."

"We're engaged for three years. You can take a closer look at the benefits I can offer you, and contact me again once you've thought it through."

Li Xin pushed the prenuptial agreement and a black and gold business card on the table in front of Xi Ran.

He has said everything he needed to say; it's up to her to decide whether or not to accept it.

Li Xin got up and went into the dressing room. When he came out, his perfect figure was wrapped in a custom-made suit, making him look extremely noble.

Li Xin looked up at Xi Ran, who was still sitting at the table, and said in a deep voice:

"Your clothes are in the dressing room. You can rest a little longer and go out whenever you want. If you're hungry, you can order food from the front desk. I have to go to work now."

The red-soled leather shoes stepped onto the soft carpet in the room, which was eerily quiet, yet Xi Ran seemed to hear the sound of her own heartbeat.

A series of booming sounds accompanied Li Xin's words.

Don't you want to get revenge on the people who bullied you in the past?

Just then, Xi Ran's phone, which was on the dining table, vibrated.

A message popped up.

[Agent]: Xi Ran, you were originally cast as the female lead in a drama, but Xi Meng snatched it away. What did you do to offend her this time?

[Agent]: Xi Ran, how many times have I told you, Xi Meng is the top female star in the company. She already dislikes you, so you should stay away from her.

[Agent]: How many jobs have you ruined in the past three years? If this continues, you might as well just retire from the entertainment industry!

In an instant,

Xi Ran gripped the agreement tightly with her slender white knuckles, leaving clear nail marks on it.

She strained until her joints turned white, then suddenly released her grip, the chair scraping against the floor with a screeching sound, stopping the man who had already reached the door.

"I promise you, when are we going to get our marriage certificate?"

Li Xin turned his head to look at Xi Ran inside the room, raising his eyebrows slightly.

The woman's cool face still bore traces of tears, and her clear, aloof brows were flushed with the courage she had mustered. Her demeanor was ethereal and otherworldly, and she was breathtakingly beautiful.

The little one needed to support herself on the table to stand up, I don't know if it was because she was tired or scared.

"Have you thought it through? You can accept the request I just made?"

His large hand covered her slender waist; it was so small that one hand was enough to cover her lower back.

No one knew better than him how flexible her waist was.

Xi Ran's body trembled involuntarily. She instinctively tried to dodge, but her knees buckled and she fell directly into Li Xin's arms, her small hands tearing a crease in the neat tie.

She didn't look up, but she could still feel the man's burning gaze on her cheek.

Xi Ran's eyes trembled slightly, and she nodded with a soft "hmm".

"Can."

"But you have to promise me, you have to give me resources, you have to help me."

Xi Ran had had enough of enduring humiliation. She had been taught since childhood to be a good girl, not to swear or do bad things.

Back at the Xi family home, she was still being taught to give way to Xi Meng.

She endured it.

Even so, Xi Meng still dared to provoke her, taking advantage of her family's doting love and the resources the Xi family gave her, and bullying her with impunity. Why should she?

She couldn't take it anymore!

She's going to take revenge by abusing her power!

Xi Ran tugged at Li Xin's tie, pulling him down slightly. She tilted her head back, her breath sweet and fragrant.

"I want you to only pamper and protect me in front of others. Can you do that?"

Xi Ran's voice trembled uncontrollably, and she couldn't stop crying, but she stubbornly refused to let the tears in her eyes fall.

In the instant the eyelashes fluttered slightly,

A single tear silently fell from the corner of her eye.

Seeing this, Li Xin felt a strange pang of sadness.

He raised his hand to wipe away the glistening drop, his gaze resolute:

"We in the Li family spoil our wives the most; it's in our genes. Do you think I could do that?"
