Qin Yunxi glanced at his phone screen, saw it was his assistant calling, and slid to the green button, pressing the speakerphone.
"Boss, I've found the person you asked me to look for," the assistant said.
Qin Yunxi: "..."
The assistant continued, "She's beautiful, intelligent, emotionally intelligent, has a great figure, a clean family background, and is a citizen of our country A. She's currently studying in the United States, a master's student at Harvard University."
Qin Yunxi: "..."
The assistant then added, "I'll send you her photo and resume."
Qin Yunxi: "..."
The assistant prattled on, but hearing no response from his boss, he felt a bit strange. "Boss, are you listening?"
Qin Yunxi: "..."
The assistant's heart sank, feeling as if he were talking to thin air. "Did you forget about this matter?"
It was Master Qin himself who said he wanted to find a woman to continue the family line and give birth to the Qin family heir, so he had diligently searched universities worldwide according to the Master's requirements.
And indeed, he had found someone.
After layers of selection, interviews, and assessments, they had finally settled on a top student with dual degrees from Harvard Business School and the School of Design.
Qin Yunxi's rigid features moved unnaturally. "Mm."
Yes, there was such a thing. He remembered.
Hearing his boss's cold and somewhat sinister reply, goosebumps rose on the assistant's back. "So, um, do you want to meet her?"
Qin Yunxi replied without hesitation: "Yes!"
Why wouldn't he?
Grace didn't like him, but there were plenty of women who did.
Grace didn't want to have children with him, but there were plenty of women who would jump at the chance.
"Where is she?" Qin Yunxi asked.
The assistant: "New York. I took her to the hospital for a full body check-up today and got the reports. I'll send them to you together."
Qin Yunxi: Coincidentally, he was also in New York.
And now, he needed a woman.
Qin Yunxi's voice was deep. "Send me the address and tell her to take a shower."
The assistant happily replied, "Yes."
After hanging up, Qin Yunxi's phone received a message—all the information about the woman: family background, interpersonal relationships from childhood to present, medical reports, and her appearance.
Qin Yunxi stared at the enlarged facial features of the woman on the screen. Beautiful, long hair, large breasts, long legs—she perfectly matched all his requirements for a woman.
The only difference was that he saw purity in this woman's face.
And ambition.
Tens of minutes later, Qin Yunxi appeared at the hotel.
He had only stopped the bleeding from the blood he was covered in, but he had not cleaned his wounds.
As he pushed the door open and entered, the room was immediately enveloped in a thick, pungent smell of blood.
The woman was named Gu Shinian, 22 years old, and had just received her master's degree offers from both the Business School and the School of Design, preparing to start her first year of graduate studies in the fall.
After careful consideration, she had signed several confidentiality agreements.
She stood in the most luxurious, extravagant, and expensive presidential suite in a New York hotel.
Gu Shinian felt extremely nervous.
Although she had "sold" herself to him, it wasn't entirely a sale.
As long as she confirmed she had been deceived, or if the man she saw wasn't "him," she would leave immediately and call the police.
Gu Shinian, wearing a bathrobe, clutched her phone tightly.
Her heart was beating very fast.
It felt like it would jump out, like she was suffocating.
"Bang—"
As the door opened, a wave of bloody scent also forcefully entered Gu Shinian's nostrils.
She turned around.
The man appeared in her eyes like a god.
It was him.
It was the man she wanted.
Gu Shinian's suspended heart finally settled. She had won this gamble of life and death.
"Oh, you're bleeding?" Seeing Qin Yunxi covered in splotches of blood, Gu Shinian ran towards him with a look of concern.
She pulled him to sit on the sofa and put down her phone.
"Is it serious?" Gu Shinian frowned, her voice gentle and delicate, like the most beautiful love words in the world. "Sit still, don't move, I'll get some hot water for you to wash up."
However, as soon as she turned and took a step, she was abruptly pulled into his embrace by the man.
Qin Yunxi, without any tenderness, pinched the woman's chin, his dark eyes strong and domineering. "No marriage, only children. Do you accept?"
Gu Shinian had already learned from the assistant the purpose of her selection—to give birth to the Qin family heir, but not to marry Qin Yunxi.
She had agreed and signed the contract.
"Mm." Gu Shinian nodded, her face flushed with shyness, and her hands climbed onto Qin Yunxi's broad and strong shoulders. "I know."
Qin Yunxi no longer hesitated and captured her delicate red lips.
The night was passionate.
