Apex Predator - Chapter 3

Shen Dai began to perspire. The person in front of him appeared far but close, foggy yet distinct. His brain froze, and he lost his capacity to think. All of his feelings vanished in an instant. He merely felt surreal, completely surreal.

As he gazed at him, Qu Moyu remained cool and controlled. DzxFWG

Shen Dai reached into his pockets and softly clenched his fists. After a time, he continued, “We… I didn’t realize it was… you.”

“You didn’t realize it was me,” Qu Moyu said again, the corners of his mouth slightly twisted up.

Shen Dai was embarrassed and wanted to hide. Even he couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“Have I disappointed you?”

“No, no,” Shen Dai responded quickly.

“Then, let’s get back to the point,” Qu Moyu replied. “What do you want after marriage?”

“What requests do you have?” Shen Dai said carefully.”

“This collaboration will benefit both of us. I need you to sign several papers before we marry to establish property ownership and other rights. You may just be a normal wife after marriage. You must be discreet, low-key, loyal, and aware of your boundaries.” Qu Moyu talked fast and clearly. It was clear that these statements had been meticulously planned for this occasion.

Shen Dai gave a nod.

“The more specific terms, Lawyer Chen will communicate with you,” Qu Moyu said, looking across at the person in charge of legal issues next to him.

Lawyer Chen nodded and grinned.

“Okay.”

“So, what are your demands?” I will give you acceptable living arrangements for my wife. You don’t have to feel terrible since you earned it. You may also adjust your future abode gradually based on your behaviors. Do you have any opinions on what I just said?”

Shen Dai observed Qu Moyu swiftly glance at his watch once again. Sitting here, face to face with the person with whom he will soon become legal partners, he was disappointed to realize that his spiritual world had been shaken by such unexpected news and that his entire life would soon undergo unpredictable changes, that in this fate of raging storms, his suppressed calmness was his only defense against the unknown. However, this was not the case with Qu Moyu. Only worth the small interval between his lunch break and a meeting, which was handled quickly and easily as if it were a routine job.

For the first time, Shen Dai lifted his head and stared directly at Qu Moyu. It takes fortitude for an omega to initiate eye contact with a top-tier alpha, exactly as a little herbivore staring at a giant carnivore, even if the other does not want to attack. “President Qu, where will I be staying?” he inquired. Is it a long distance from the company?”

“You still want to keep working?” Qu Moyu was astonished.”

“…I can’t keep working?” Shen Dai paused; this is not only a fantastic job, but also his ideal job. If this is the price that must be paid, it is excessive.

“Of course you can, because losing an excellent employee like you is a loss for the company.” DRPxFK

Shen Dai exhaled a sigh of relief right away.

“Shen-gong, you can discuss the legal issues and the course of events in detail with Lawyer Chen.” You can also submit any queries or demands you may have. I’ve got something else to do. “Please excuse me,” he murmured as he rose.

Shen Dai rose as well, saying, “Yes, President Qu.”

Qu Moyu is excessively tall, even among the typically tall alphas. He threw a shadow on Shen Dai like a wall. Shen Dai raised his eyes to the man in front of him. Despite the other appearing courteous and tranquil, the sensation of tyranny that had persisted since entering the room got heavier.

While alphas are ubiquitous in real life, S-level alphas are uncommon. S-level alpha pheromone suppression is incredibly scary. It’s like wielding a powerful weapon; it may defeat both the physical and psychological components of a person. It is even illegal in the case of personal injury. He has heard about it but has not seen it. Face people with a compassionate attitude is Qu Moyu’s success as a superior; it made Shen Dai like him.

Shen Dai let out a breath as Qu Moyu strolled away gently.

“Shen-gong, please sit down,” Lawyer Chen requested pleasantly. “We still have a lot of details to work out,” he said, pulling a huge stack of paperwork from his bag.

“This is the prenuptial agreement, right?” Shen Dai inquired.”

“Prenuptial agreement” is the more widespread word. This contract addresses not only assets but also secrecy requirements, reputation, rights and duties upon marriage, and so on. Of course, as President Qu stated, these are our requests; you may also submit your own, and I will be in charge of communication and negotiation.”

Shen Dai took up the contract and flipped through it, exclaiming, “It’s so long.”

“Don’t worry. You can carefully read it. I’ll be there to help you. “Of course, if you don’t want to look at it, I can briefly summarize the key points for you,” Lawyer Chen added, “but you can’t take this contract out of this office before signing it.”

“Please.”

“This marriage will last no more than five years, and President Qu will decide when it ends.” You must keep this marriage entirely private. Any secrets you discover about President Qu and the Qu family must be safeguarded both during and after the marriage. You must perform your responsibilities as a woman during the marriage. As President Qu stated, you must be discreet, low-key, loyal, and aware of your bounds. The so-called limits imply that you must respect President Qu’s commands to the greatest extent feasible and may not interfere with President Qu’s private life or official work. In terms of lifestyle, President Qu’s housekeeper will contact you later. You may also need to work with You Xinghai and President Qu to oversee the transfer of some resources. The primary goal of this marriage is to combine the resources of the two firms. President Qu’s faith is built on the blood link between you and You Xinghai. President Qu’s premarital and marital possessions will have nothing to do with you. You cannot conceive President Qu’s children without his permission. However, after the marriage is over, President Qu will provide you with further pay. As long as you follow these agreements, you will have the independence and respect you deserve, as well as a sizable alimony payment. ”

Shen Dai glanced quietly at Lawyer Chen as he spoke with comfort and fluency. His reasoning and professionalism were flawless, yet he felt his body chill. He isn’t an idealist, but he can’t see marriage as a purely practical transaction. True, his marriage is a transaction, but he does not believe marriage should be like this; he simply does not have a better option. Everyone, including You Xinghai, Qu Moyu, and the guy in front of him, believes this is correct.

“I agree to everything,” Shen Dai interjected. I’m not going to waste your time; let’s simply sign.”

Lawyer Chen, with a symbolic smile, said, “Okay,” handing Shen Dai the pen, “Your signature and fingerprint are required in all places with sticky tabs.”

Shen Dai drowned himself in paperwork. He considered how he was signing the contract to sell himself. He may want to chuckle if it wasn’t indecent.

Lawyer Chen checked twice after signing, calmly and thoroughly, “Thank you for your cooperation.”

“You’re very welcome. Then I’ll return.”

“Do you have any special requests?” Lawyer Chen dropped his usual professional tone and offered some counsel, “President Qu indicated that you may seek a better life and make some acceptable expectations.”

“As long as I don’t owe anyone money, my life will be fine.” Thank you.” Shen Dai nodded and walked away unhurriedly.

Everyone in the laboratory stopped what they were doing and gazed at Shen Dai as soon as he returned.

“Don’t gossip,” Shen Dai chuckled, “it was nothing.”

Shen Dai is the most senior member of this group. He was brought in by his teacher when the experimental group was just getting started, and he has a lot of reputation. No one dares to gossip if he doesn’t want to say anything. Shen Dai’s favorite section of the academic circle. Qualifications and achievements, rather than gender, are more relevant here.

Cheng Zimei, on the other hand, is unique. They were peers who could discuss practically anything. Only Cheng Zimei, their instructor, is aware of Shen Dai’s obligation.

Cheng Zimei pushed her chair over to Shen Dai and said in hushed tones, “What’s the situation?”

Shen Dai gazed at her, “It’s not that I don’t want to tell you, it’s just that I don’t know how to say it.”

“It’s fine, my great scientific research can wait, I have time,” Cheng Zimei said.

Shen Dai stated uncomfortably, “I signed a confidentiality regulation.”

“What, so mysterious?” scowled Cheng Zimei. But she understood Shen Dai’s temperament; if he didn’t want to say anything, his lips couldn’t be forced open. Even when it came to carrying his father’s massive debt, he only told her because he couldn’t do it alone and needed support.

“Anyway,” Shen Dai grumbled, “it should count as a good thing.”

“All right, as long as it’s a good thing,” Cheng Zimei grinned, “and if one of us becomes wealthy in the future, don’t forget about the other.”

Shen Dai smiled as well.

“By the way, which division of headquarters did you visit?” Have you ever met the Crown Prince?”

“No.”

“That’s unfortunate.” l 5thp

“What a shame?”

“Don’t put on a show. Do you think I’m clueless? When your gaze was not drawn to the Crown Prince whenever we chance to come across him.”

“Isn’t that normal?” Shen Dai said gently. Because he’s so attractive.”

“That is correct. I wonder whether there is such a thing as a flawless man in the world. What type of top-tier omega could be worthy of him?”

Shen Dai thought You Baiyue are worthy. What he is most perplexed about right now is how knowing that his marriage partner is a flawless S-level alpha, You Baiyue was marked by someone else. You Xinghai’s tone suggests that You Baiyue did not endure any assault, but rather that “a child’s ignorance is the family’s misfortune.” Even he felt sorry for You Baiyue.

However, the fact that he was able to marry Qu Moyu while also receiving a free $10 million is akin to God forcing a winning lottery ticket into his mouth. He was not satisfied, however, for the experience of many predecessors taught him that if virtue does not match, calamity will inevitably follow.
