After I left, the female CEO was utterly heartbroken.

According to Lu Han's additional clause, if he terminates the agreement after just one year, Su Qingli would only need to pay 4.5 billion yuan to reclaim all shares of the Su Corporation from him.

And this 4.5 billion would be paid two years after the agreement takes effect, effectively saving Su Qingli 1.5 billion yuan.

In an even more extreme scenario, if Lu Han signed the agreement today and terminated it tomorrow, Su Qingli would essentially have received a two-year interest-free loan of 3 billion yuan from the Lu family.

Something unusual must be happening.

Su Qingli didn't believe in free lunches and slightly frowned, asking, "Give me a reason."

"Consider it a precaution," Lu Han said, lighting a cigarette and looking down. "If I meet someone I like within two years, there's no need to continue this boring marriage game with you."

"So I will terminate the agreement early."

"Rather than getting entangled over money later, it's better to write it into the agreement beforehand."

"That way, we can part ways cleanly without owing each other anything."

Just because of that?

Su Qingli was slightly taken aback, unsure whether Lu Han was being sincere or playing a psychological game.

But regardless, this supplementary clause was beneficial for her, so she had no reason to refuse.

"I'll go back and modify it again. I hope you won't change your mind later."

Su Qingli put away the agreement and pen, replaying Lu Han's words in her mind.

A boring marriage game, huh?

Indeed, it was quite boring.

"But don't get too excited yet," Lu Han exhaled a puff of smoke and said indifferently, "Within two years, the possibility of me falling in love with another woman is extremely slim."

Hearing the hint of loneliness in his tone, Su Qingli couldn't help but ask, "Was that woman, Chu Ruoyan, such a deep wound for you?"

"Hmph, her?" Lu Han sneered. "Su Qingli, you underestimate me."

"I'm someone who can let go easily."

"She's not worthy of hurting me."

Emotions can be mutually understood, but there are boundaries that cannot be crossed.

Unfortunately, his boundaries were much lower than those of other men.

Su Qingli was silent for a moment and then said, "You're really cold-blooded."

Lu Han didn't respond, extinguishing his cigarette and sitting down next to Su Qingli.

His sudden action startled Su Qingli, causing her to instinctively move aside and ask warily, "What do you want?"

"I've been so good to you; can't I collect some interest?" Lu Han grabbed Su Qingli's waist and said, "Get used to this superficial intimacy. You wouldn't want outsiders to see through our act, right?"

Su Qingli was about to push him away but heard what he said and withdrew her hand.

"Relax, don't be nervous," Lu Han continued, caressing her waist while smiling. "Weren't you quite natural yesterday?"

Su Qingli felt bitter inside. Yesterday was yesterday, and today was today; how could they be the same?

But she admitted Lu Han was right. For the Lu family, spending 3 billion yuan on the Su family didn't mean they wanted Lu Han to marry a woman who was merely going through the motions.

If their facade cracked, Lu Zhensheng would undoubtedly be furious.

"You provide the money, and I provide the person. It's fair enough," Su Qingli forced herself to relax her stiff body, trying to comfort herself with this reasoning.

Given this man's current status and position, even before being officially recognized by the family, there were probably many women willing to pursue him. Why would he come here to endure hardship?

Su Qingli took a deep breath.

Forget it; let him touch. Just treat it as being bitten by a dog!

At the Lu family estate, Lu Xue parked the car and instructed the servants to carry the shopping bags into Lu Han's room.

She was very satisfied with today's "haul." Thinking about how handsome Lu Han would look in these clothes made her feel a bit happy.

However, when she left Lu Han's room after directing the servants, she ran into someone she truly disliked.

"Second Brother, why aren't you at the office today?" Lu Xue greeted Lu Ming, who was walking down the stairs.

Though she disliked him, she couldn't show it while living in the Lu family. She changed her address from "big brother" to "second brother," which clearly showed less intimacy compared to calling Lu Han "Brother Han."

"Not feeling well, taking a break," Lu Ming casually explained and asked, "Why did you come back alone? Where's Lu Han?"

"He said he had something to take care of," Lu Xue replied.

Lu Ming nodded and said, "Xue'er, come here. I have something to discuss with you."

In the living room, Lu Ming asked, "You're almost ready for internships, right? Any thoughts?"

Under the current university education system, most courses were completed by the first half of senior year. College students were busy finding jobs, and universities encouraged them to start internships to integrate into society early.

Although Lu Xue didn't need to worry about job hunting like her classmates, her class advisor had talked to her about it.

Ultimately, graduate employment rates were a crucial metric for any university department, affecting reputation and resource allocation.

Therefore, during graduation season, department leaders went all out to help students find internships or jobs. Signing a labor contract or agreement counted as employment.

Lu Xue smiled and said, "Second Brother, what thoughts could I have? I haven't played enough yet. With so many companies under you, can't you just give me a hiring contract?"

"Xue'er, it's not right for me to say this, but Dad would definitely be angry if he knew your attitude," Lu Ming frowned. "As the esteemed daughter of the Lu family, how can you be idle?"

Lu Xue pouted, "But I just want to be a pretty face!"

"You... you..." Lu Ming sighed, "How about this? Be my secretary."

"Besides making it easier for me to take care of you, I can also teach you more."

"If you become capable sooner, I'll give you a company to manage, how about that?"

This seemed to be a genuine offer, at least on the surface.

Lu Xue thought seriously for a moment and said, "Second Brother, can you give me some time to consider?"

Lu Ming nodded, giving her a complex look before heading upstairs.

Only after his figure disappeared around the corner did Lu Xue breathe a sigh of relief.

"Does Lu Ming really think I'm stupid?"

"All this talk about helping and teaching me is just to keep me busy so I won't have time to find Brother Han!"

"Pfft, I won't fall for your tricks!"

Lu Xue muttered to herself, unaware that Lu Ming's actions were entirely aimed at her.

Close proximity makes it easier to reach the moon.
