Before she could escape the clutches of evil, Xue Feimo's voice sounded, low and haunting: "Within half a meter."
Luo Tiantian's body stiffened, her whole little face scrunching up.
Suddenly, she remembered the guarantee letter she'd written herself.
She quickly sat up in bed, looking all serious. "Xue Feimo, this isn't fair."
"Oh? What's unfair?"
Xue Feimo leaned back against the headboard, watching Luo Tiantian with a half-smile, half-smirk.
"..." Luo Tiantian frowned, annoyed. "All the marriage agreement clauses are restrictions on me. There's not a single one restraining you."
Xue Feimo nodded as if agreeing, then asked, "How do you want to restrain me?"
"Here, these are some little requests I managed to think up. As long as you sign this guarantee letter, I promise I'll follow 'all' the terms of the agreement strictly."
Luo Tiantian deliberately emphasized the word 'all'.
She looked absolutely pleased with herself.
Xue Feimo took the guarantee letter and gave it a casual glance, then tossed it aside.
That dismissive, nonchalant attitude instantly lit a tiny fire inside Luo Tiantian.
She huffed in anger, "What do you mean by that?"
Seeing her about to blow up, Xue Feimo raised his eyebrow. "Kiddo, have you memorized the contents of the agreement?"
"Uh..."
That sentence instantly shrank Luo Tiantian's ego from six feet tall down to barely half a meter.
Her gaze darted evasively, not daring to look at Xue Feimo's smirking eyes. "No…"
"Read the last page of the agreement out loud."
"..."
Luo Tiantian froze, and seeing he wasn't joking, she reluctantly found the agreement.
She pulled out the last page and obediently looked at the contents.
Unconsciously, she read aloud: "The above restrictive clauses are voluntary actions executed by the female party due to inability to pay back the debt. If the female party violates any of the clauses, the male party has the right to sue in court for compensation of three times the total debt amount.
The debts include:
One metal chicken, $900,000; ten Yangtze River knife fish, $1 million; fighting cock (General, always undefeated), $100 million; Tarim rabbit hybrid pet…"
The further Luo Tiantian read, the more anxious she felt, her little face turning pale as a sheet.
Her hands trembled, the paper slowly dropping to the floor.
She stared blankly at Xue Feimo, asking hoarsely, "Aren't those… the animals you raised to eat?"
Plus, eating a few grapes cost thousands?!
"They're mine." Xue Feimo nodded.
"So, you were just trying to scare me, right?"
Luo Tiantian's eyes lit up, looking at him hopefully, her pitiful gaze full of tiny sparks of desire.
She looked absolutely pathetic.
Made you just want to mess with her even harder.
Xue Feimo's eyes deepened, his Adam's apple rolling irresistibly.
He composed himself, then said blandly, "But they're not for you to eat."
He paused, then continued, "Kiddo, you should be thankful you didn't eat any nationally protected animals, Grade I or II. Otherwise, you'd better get ready for a marathon in prison."
"!!!" Luo Tiantian shrank her neck in fright.
So, in just a few days she not only racked up piles of debt, but almost broke the law?
Luo Tiantian was regretting so much, she could feel her guts turning green.
If time could turn back, would she… still eat them?
Whimper, whimper, whimper…
"But, I wasn't the only one eating them." Luo Tiantian said weakly.
Those few days, after roasting the meat, she even generously shared it with the gardeners in the orchard…
He probably wouldn't go after his own gardeners, right?
"You actively gave it away."
Xue Feimo seemed to read Luo Tiantian's thoughts, giving her a casual look. "But me? No."
