The CEO's 100 Billion Bride: The Secret War of the Rich

Su Wanwan stood at the door of the legal department of Huo's Group and took a deep breath. Since she rejected Huo Yanshen's proposal to disclose her identity, things have developed beyond her expectations. Mr. Huo suddenly proposed that she and Huo Yanshen sign a prenuptial agreement.

Pushing open the door, Su Wanwan saw Huo Yanshen already sitting at the conference table, next to him was Huo Group's chief legal advisor Zhou Ming.

"Please sit down." Huo Yanshen said lightly, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

Su Wanwan nodded and sat opposite Huo Yanshen. Zhou Ming pushed a thick document over and said, "Ms. Su, this is the first draft of the prenuptial agreement. Please take a look."

Su Wanwan took the document and read it carefully. As she read deeper, her brows furrowed more and more. The harshness of the terms of this agreement far exceeded her expectations.

"The first one is that the property of both parties will be completely separated after marriage. Su Wanwan has no right to touch any assets of the Huo Group." Su Wanwan read it out loud and looked up at Huo Yanshen. "I have no objection to this."

Huo Yanshen nodded, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"Clause 2," Su Wanwan continued to read, "If the marriage ends within five years, Su Wanwan will not be entitled to any compensation." She took a deep breath, "Isn't this too harsh?"

Zhou Ming immediately explained: "Ms. Su, this is to protect the interests of the Huo Group. You have to understand that the Huo family cannot take the risk of letting outsiders easily obtain huge assets."

Su Wanwan was silent for a moment, then said: "I can accept this condition, but I hope to add one more clause: if the divorce is caused by Huo Yanshen's fault, this clause will not apply."

Zhou Ming and Huo Yanshen exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

"Clause 3," Su Wanwan continued to read, her voice trembling slightly, "Future custody of the children will belong to the Huo family. If divorced, Su Wanwan will only have visitation rights, not custody rights."

Su Wanwan raised her head suddenly, a trace of anger flashed in her eyes, "I absolutely cannot accept this!"

Huo Yan frowned, "Wanwan, you have to understand that this is to protect the child's future."

"Protect?" Su Wanwan sneered, "Depriving a mother of her custody rights, is this called protection?"

Zhou Ming tried to ease the atmosphere, "Ms. Su, we can discuss and modify this clause. For example, we can stipulate joint custody, but the Huo family will be mainly responsible for the child's education and life."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "I can accept joint custody, but I want to have equal decision-making power on major matters concerning the child."

After some discussion, a compromise was finally reached on this point.

"Article 4," Su Wanwan continued to read, "After marriage, Su Wanwan needs to resign from all positions in the Huo Group and must not participate in company affairs."

This made Su Wanwan completely stunned. She looked at Huo Yanshen in disbelief, "What do you mean? You want me to give up my career?"

Huo Yanshen's expression was a little complicated. "Wanwan, this is to avoid suspicion. You know, if you continue to work in the company, people will gossip about you."

Su Wanwan felt a pang of heartache. She had put in so much effort and finally established a foothold in the company, but now she was asked to give up everything.

“I don’t agree.” Su Wanwan said firmly, “I can accept not participating in core decision-making, but I can’t give up my job completely. It’s too important to me.”

Zhou Ming interrupted, “Ms. Su, we can change it so that you can keep a symbolic position but not participate in the actual operation. Is that okay?”

Su Wanwan shook her head, "No, I want a substantial position. I have the ability to contribute to the company, why waste such talent?"

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, then said, "How about this, we can set up a transition period. During this period, you can continue your work. After the baby is born, we will re-evaluate this issue."

Su Wanwan thought about it for a while and finally reluctantly agreed to the proposal.

The discussion of the agreement lasted a whole day. Each clause was like a shackle, tightly binding Su Wanwan. She felt exhausted, but she knew that this was just the beginning.

When the last agreement was finalized, it was already late at night. Su Wanwan felt exhausted physically and mentally, but she knew she couldn't show weakness.

"So, when will we sign the formal agreement?" Su Wanwan asked with a hint of fatigue in her voice.

Zhou Ming replied: “We will revise the agreement based on today’s discussion. In three days, we can meet again to confirm the final version.”

Huo Yanshen nodded, "That's it. Wanwan, I'll take you home."

Su Wanwan shook her head. "No, I can do it myself."

Walking out of the company building, the night wind blew on Su Wanwan's face. She stood on the roadside, looking at the busy traffic, and suddenly felt an unprecedented loneliness.

Is this the world she is about to enter? A world where every move is restricted and every step is taken cautiously?

Su Wanwan touched her slightly bulging belly and said softly, "Baby, mom will protect you. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, I will hold up a sky for you."

At this moment, a luxury car slowly stopped in front of her. The window lowered, revealing Huo Yanshen's face.

"Get in the car," Huo Yanshen said, with a hint of pleading in his tone, "Let me take you home."

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, but finally got in the car.

There was silence in the car for a long time, and finally Huo Yanshen spoke: "I'm sorry for making you go through this."

Su Wanwan looked at the passing scenery outside the window and said softly, "You don't need to apologize. I understand it's necessary. It's just..." She paused, "I hope you can understand how difficult this is for me."

Huo Yanshen held Su Wanwan's hand, "I know. But Wanwan, please believe me. I will do my best to protect you and the child."

Su Wanwan turned her head and looked directly into Huo Yanshen's eyes. "Yan Shen, I need more than just protection. I need equality and respect. I hope you can understand this."

Huo Yanshen was silent for a long time before he said, "I will try my best."

The car stopped downstairs of Su Wanwan's apartment. Before getting out of the car, Su Wanwan suddenly asked: "Yan Shen, if we hadn't had that accident, would you choose to be with me?"

Huo Yanshen was stunned. He looked into Su Wanwan's eyes, which were filled with complicated emotions.

"I..." Huo Yanshen was about to speak, but Su Wanwan shook her head and interrupted him.

“No need to answer.” Su Wanwan smiled bitterly, “Some questions may never have answers. Good night, Yanshen.”

After saying that, Su Wanwan turned around, got out of the car, and walked into the apartment building without looking back.

Huo Yanshen sat in the car, watching Su Wanwan's back disappear into the night. An unprecedented complex emotion surged in his heart.

He knew that this prenuptial agreement was like an invisible shackle that bound him and Su Wanwan together. But he knew that the real test had just begun.

In this world of wealthy families full of calculations, what will their future be like? Huo Yanshen dared not imagine. He only knew that from now on, he had to be more cautious, not only to protect Su Wanwan and the child, but also to protect the fragile and precious relationship between them.

As the night deepened, Huo Yanshen's car slowly drove away. In front of the window of the apartment, Su Wanwan quietly watched the taillights of the car disappear around the corner. She knew that her life was standing at an important crossroads.

No matter how many difficulties and obstacles lie ahead, she must face them bravely.
