Chapter 240
The Contract Marriage
âHow can it be cruel? If I have to deal with him, I wonât let him off lightly either. Alright, Vivian. I still have a meeting to attend, so I wonât talk to you for now.â
âOkay, bye bye.â
Vivian retracted her line and sat on the bed dejectedly.
1. 8 million. Even if she had already given one million, where would she get the remaining 800,000?
Other than asking Julian for it, she had no other way.
But what kind of excuse should she use to ask for it?
Just as Vivian was deep in thought, there was a knock on the door.
âCome in.â Vivian sat on the bed and saw Ruby carrying a plate of fruit into the room. There were even some snacks on it that Daphne had specially prepared for Vivian.
âElder sister. . .â Ruby walked in and placed the plate of fruit and snacks on the bedside table.
Vivian looked up at her and reached out to take a bag of beef jerky and stuffed it into Rubyâs hands, âTake it and eat. I canât eat so much alone.â
Ruby immediately put it back nervously, âSister. You are now eating two peopleâs meal by yourself. This little bit of food will be finished in a while. I have already eaten my fill and I am not hungry at all.â
Vivian heard her words and was very satisfied. She waved her hand at her, âYou go out first. If there is anything, I will call you.â
Ruby immediately nodded her head and turned around to leave Vivianâs room.
Seeing the door close, Vivian quickly stood up and walked to the door. She raised her hand and pressed the reverse lock, then walked back to the bed and picked up her phone to call Lucas.
âVivian, how is it?â Once the call was made, Lucas could not wait to ask.
âI asked just now. It was really that number. That Felix definitely wouldnât let it go just like that. I donât want to talk about 800,000 right now. I canât even take out a hundred thousand. What should we do now?â
When she thought of that shocking number, Vivian had an indescribable headache. Although the Cooper Family was rich, Julian rarely gave her money to spend.
Now, if she suddenly asked Julian for 800,000 yuan, she could not think of any excuse.
âEven if you canât take it out, you still have to take it out. Otherwise, if Felix doesnât take it out, the both of us will have to go to jail. Vivian, you are smart. Think about it carefully. No matter what, you have to take out this 800,000 yuan. Otherwise, the both of us will be finished.â
âAlright, then I will think of another way.â Vivian helplessly put away the phone and walked around the room with her phone.
But with this 800,000 yuan, no matter how she thought of it, she could not think of a good way.
What should she do?
What should she do?
Vivian was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. Eight hundred thousand, how did she get it from Julian?
She was a little tired from walking. She sat down by the bed and her gaze finally landed on the fruit plate on the bedside table. A figure suddenly flashed in front of her eyes.
She was already six months pregnant, and Julian had not touched a woman for a long time.
Vivian thought about Rubyâs figure and looks. If. . .
Vivianâs eyes lit up when she thought of this.
But when she thought about how she was her uncleâs daughter, she could not be too cruel. But if she did not have that 800,000 yuan, she would definitely go to jail. . .
Since she had already come this far, she didnât care about his uncleâs daughter anymore.
After dinner, Julian returned to his study. He had taken the medicine prescribed by the hospital these two days and ordered some eye medicine. His eyes were much better, so he brought some documents with him when he went home today.
Julian planned to review them at home at night. When he went upstairs, Daphne knew that her son was going to work in the study again. She chatted with the family for a while on the sofa. She then personally went to the kitchen to make a cup of coffee. She called Hannah over to ask her to bring the coffee to her son.
Just as she called out, Vivian walked over. âMom, let Ruby bring it up.â
After saying that, she looked at Ruby who was behind her and said, âRuby, send the coffee to Young Master to the study room.â
âYes.â Ruby immediately walked over and carefully took the tray from Daphne and went upstairs.
Daphne looked at the figure of this little girl and nodded her head in satisfaction, âVivian, this little girl you found is quite likable. Although she does not speak much, her face is full of joy and it makes people like her the first time they look at her.â
âMom, she has a good personality since she was young. My mom has been praising her at home.â
wonder.â
âMom, Iâm a little tired. Iâm going back to my room to rest.â
âOkay. Go now. Donât tire yourself out again. â
Vivian nodded with a smile and went upstairs. When she reached the staircase of the third floor, seeing that Ruby had yet to come out of Julianâs study, she deliberately lowered her footsteps. Vivian wanted to hear what the two of them were saying in the study.
However, before Vivian even took a few steps out, she saw Ruby walk out of the study. When Ruby saw Vivian, she immediately stopped, âSister. . .â
Vivian nodded. âDonât go downstairs. Wait at the door. I will go in and take a look at Young Master.â
âYes.â Ruby immediately stood obediently in the corridor.
Vivian looked at her and lifted her foot to walk into the study room. She saw Julian taking out an eye drop and preparing to drip it. Seeing her walk in, he stopped what he was doing.
âVivian, you came at the right time. Help me drip the eye drop.â
Vivian raised her hand a little pitifully and held her waist. âJulian, I am very tired today. I want to rest a little earlier. How about this? I will let Ruby serve me to sleep first. When I lie down, I will let her help you.â
Julian listened to her words and paused for a moment before nodding. âOkay. Then quickly go and rest.â
He really wanted Ruby to help him.
âOkay. Then Iâm going to sleep.â After Vivian finished speaking, she turned around and walked out of the study room. She let Ruby follow her into the bedroom and let her close the door.
Ruby helped Vivian take off her coat and pants and helped her lie down on the bed. Even the pillow was arranged properly for her before Ruby covered her with a blanket.
âRuby, recently the young masterâs eyes are not very good. I donât know if it is because he stayed up all night for a long time. Just now he asked me to help him drip some eye drops. Iâm really a little tired today. I just told him to let you help him drip an eye drop. You wouldnât mind, would you?â Vivian put on a good older sister expression.
Ruby smiled and shook her head, âThis is what I should do.â
âYes, thatâs right. Put a little of this perfume on you. I seemed to have smelled something unusual on you just now. Donât tell me you have the smell of a fox?â Vivian deliberately frowned and asked.
An awkward expression immediately appeared on Rubyâs face. She looked at Vivian and shook her head, âSister, I donât have the smell of a fox.â
âIs that so? But why does it smell a little bad? You should spray some. Otherwise, Julian will feel uncomfortable. . .â
Ruby nodded awkwardly and could only pick up the perfume bottle on the table. Vivian sat up from the bed and took the bottle of perfume. âCome over, I will spray it on you.â
Ruby could only move closer to Vivian and let her spray on her body.
âEn, that is enough. Go on. Thatâs right. Do you recognize words?â
âSis, I graduated from junior high. . .â
âOh, thatâs good. Julianâs eyes havenât been very good recently. If his eyes hurt badly, you can help him read the documents. . . Ouch. I donât know what happened today, I have to sleep first.â
Vivian finished speaking. She waved at Ruby and then laid down again, âDonât forget to close the door for me when you go out.â
âYes.â Ruby immediately turned around quietly and left Vivianâs room. She closed the door for her and then walked into Julianâs study room. She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
âCome in.â Julian knew Ruby was coming. He sat up straight and tidied his clothes.
Ruby pushed the door open and walked into the study. She stood at the door of the study and said with a red face, âYoung Master, Sister Vivian just said. . . She asked me to help you drip some eye drops. .
.â
Rubyâs personality had always been more introverted, especially when she faced a man alone. She was even more nervous.
âYes, I know. Come in. Oh right, close the door.â Julian held a pen in his hand and looked very serious.
Ruby nodded and raised her hand to close the door of the study. She walked in front of Julian and saw the eye potion on the table. She reached out to pick it up and saw Julian nervously biting his lower lip.
Julian put down the pen, then stood up and walked to the sofa to lie down. He waved at her. âCome and help me drip it.â
âYes.â Ruby immediately walked over nervously and squatted down beside him. She held an eye potion and looked at him and asked, âYoung master, which eye is not good?â
Ruby squatted beside Julian and a familiar perfume smell entered Julianâs nose. It was very nice to smell. He sniffed hard and looked at Ruby in front of him. There was a strange reaction in his body.
When Julian heard her ask him, he changed the topic and asked, âIs your Sister Vivian asleep?â
âYes, she just fell asleep.â
âDid you spray perfume?â
Rubyâs nervous hands trembled and then she nodded with a red face. âYes. . . It was Sister Vivian who made me spray it. She said. . . I donât smell good. . .â
Ruby would not lie and answered honestly with her head down.
âShe made you spray it?â Julian frowned and looked at her.
âDo you smell bad?â Julian sat up from the sofa and looked at the girl in front of him. He did not know if it was because she was too nervous, but a blush appeared on her face. She looked more like an alluring peach.
The effects of the perfume made his body react intensely. Vivian had previously used this kind of perfume before, but later he knew that it was not an ordinary perfume. It was the Purification Perfume.
Since Vivian had let Ruby put it on, that meant. . . She took the initiative. . .
Ruby heard Julianâs straightforward words. She did not know how to answer, so she could only lower her head and stay where she was at a loss of what to do.
âAlright, come over and help me drip some eye drops. I was a little uncomfortable just now. . .â Julian said as he leaned against the back of the sofa and closed his eyes.
Ruby looked at him and bit her lips. The sofa was leaning against the wall. If she wanted to give him eye drops, she had to kneel on the sofa. She stood there and hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to do.
âWhatâs wrong? My eyes are hurting badly. Why are you standing there for a long time without moving?â After waiting for a long time, he did not feel Ruby walk over. Julian opened his eyes again and looked at her angrily questioning.
