He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 5: Move In With Me

In a swift motion, Jin Xue excused herself to the restroom, seeking to rejuvenate her appearance with a touch of makeup, determined to project an aura of renewed vitality.

As Gu Zhou's departure left her seething with anger, Jin Xue strode purposefully into the President's opulent office, her gaze icy and unwavering, fixating resentfully on Jin Yuntian.

"I overheard everything. Not a single cent shall be given to Gu Zhou. I will marry Jiang Yu."

Jin Yuntian's brow furrowed slightly as he looked upon his daughter with a pained expression, torn between love and concern.

"Xue'er, I'm truly doing this for your own well-being. I didn't mean to keep it from you or discuss it with Gu Zhou beforehand. I merely tested him, and he relinquished his claim on you. He doesn't truly love you. He's merely infatuated with wealth, using you as a stepping stone in his life."

"That's enough. I don't want to hear another word. Today, I will fulfill your wish and register my marriage with Jiang Yu. Henceforth, I will owe you nothing."

With a frigid resolve, Jin Xue uttered those words before turning away, refusing to cast a backward glance.

Jin Yuntian frowned, his eyes reflecting a mix of complex emotions. Suddenly, a sharp pain pierced his chest, causing him to wince. Hastily, he retrieved a pill from his pocket and swallowed it, hoping to alleviate the discomfort.

...

Jin Xue called Jiang Yu.

"I'm Jin Yuntian's eldest daughter, Jin Xue. It's eleven o'clock now. The Civil Affairs Bureau will be off work in an hour. Are you in time to register at the Civil Affairs Bureau?"

A trace of interest flashed across Jiang Yu's stern face. "If Miss Jin needs it, I can do it!"

"I'll wait for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau. I won't wait for you if you're late!"

Fifteen minutes later, Jiang Yu appeared at the Civil Affairs Bureau.

Lawyer Wang Xie came with him.

Jin Xue glanced at Wang Xie before looking at Jiang Yu. "I have a condition. After we marry, I don't need to compensate for the repair costs of the Porsche."

Without hesitation, Jiang Yu said, "Mrs. Jiang, you hit your own car, so of course you don't have to pay for it. There's a prenuptial agreement. Take a closer look. If you have no objections, sign it and we'll go register."

Jin Xue read the prenuptial agreement Wang Xie gave her seriously.

At this moment, she finally understood why the Jin family was unwilling to let Jin Yue marry into the Jiang family.

The prenuptial agreement was written in black and white: The marriage could only be made public after a year. The woman had no right to inherit the property, and there was no right to divide the property in a divorce. Divorcing meant that she would automatically give up the custody of the child.

This agreement showed that the woman had no guarantees. Other than 300 million yuan as a gift, she would not get any benefits. The proud Jin Yue would definitely not marry.

Jin Xue sneered.

However, she did not hesitate and signed her name.

Jiang Yu stared at Jin Xue with his deep, eagle-like eyes. "Don't you have to consider it? Do you think there's no problem?"

"Three million yuan in compensation waived and an additional long-term meal ticket. Is that a problem? Since I'm here, do I still need to think about it?"

The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and the cold lines on Jiang Yu's face softened, making his handsome face look even sexier. nove(l)bi(n.)com

"Alright! Let's register immediately!"

...

Holding the marriage certificate, Jin Xue was rather calm.

Jiang Yu's expression didn't change. "Go back and pack your things. You'll move to my house later."

Jin Xue lowered her almond-shaped eyes slightly and nodded calmly.

"Recently, I've been working a lot of night shifts. From 12 a.m. to 8 a.m., so I won't be home at night. You can slowly get used to it."

The corners of Jiang Yu's lips curled up slightly. "I understand your work! I have a lunch appointment at noon, so I won't be eating with you."

"You're busy with work. I understand."

Jiang Yu wrote down an address for Jin Xue and gave her two sets of keys. "Your car won't be repaired so quickly. Drive my car first. Aunt Zhen is at the villa. If there's anything you don't understand, ask her."

Jin Xue responded with a nonchalant hum.

Then, she pressed the remote control to unlock the car. A black BMW X6 parked not far away from her immediately lit up its headlights.

After a while, Jin Xue drove away without looking at Jiang Yu.
