Genius Trainee: My Husband Isn't Human - Chapter 18

He Mingyu’s performance was also excellent, and with the added advantage of his fame, Luo Jingcha lost by just one vote.

Luo Jingcha slightly raised her head, then lowered it again.

Did this man have to be so direct?

She lost… well, she lost. As long as she wanted to, starting over wouldn’t be too difficult.

“Wipe yourself clean and come with me.” Mo Wangchu took out a handkerchief from his pocket and gave it to her.

“Where to?” Luo Jingcha’s voice was heavy with nasal congestion.

She recovered somewhat, took the handkerchief and wiped herself, thinking what era was this person from to still carry a handkerchief around.

“To sign a contract.”

After Mo Wangchu finished speaking, he didn’t wait for her and turned to leave.

“Sign a contract?”

Luo Jingcha sniffled, feeling completely baffled. What contract would she sign after losing? An indenture contract?

Mo Wangchu walked very quickly and disappeared from sight in a moment. Afraid of losing him, Luo Jingcha hurried to catch up.

In the Rolls-Royce, Mo Wangchu took out two documents and handed her one, speaking concisely, “Read it, then sign it.”

What do you mean “read it then sign it”? She suspected this man might be tongue-tied—why did he always speak in two or three words? Would it kill him to speak more clearly!

Annoyed, she snatched it over, skimmed through it quickly, then turned to look at Mo Wangchu with wide eyes. “Are you out of your mind?”

“If you don’t sign, you can get out of the car now.” Mo Wangchu said indifferently.

This time he used a few more words, but what he said was hardly human speech.

Luo Jingcha slapped the contract aside and said, “If I want to get that A rating, for these three months, apart from training, I have to unconditionally serve your daily needs and must stay by your side at all times?”

“That’s not even the worst part—if I don’t get the center position in the program, I have to work for you for free for ten years! What kind of contract is this? Are you trying to make me sign an indenture contract!”

The more Luo Jingcha spoke, the angrier she became. Taking two deep breaths, she said, “Mo Wangchu, CEO Mo, are you still living in the era of slavery? I’m a human being, not livestock. I’m not for sale! Drawing up this kind of tyrannical contract—who do you think you’re bullying?”

Mo Wangchu glanced at her and said, “Do you know who’s in charge of the entertainment industry now?”

Luo Jingcha: “……”

Right! He was in charge! He was the CEO of Mo Group, the heir of the Mo family, the owner of Longyao Shengshi, the emperor of the business world!

If she signed, she’d have to sell herself, but if she didn’t sign, she’d be blacklisted. With just one word from him, no one in the entertainment industry would risk offending Mo Group by signing her.

There was no third option.

Luo Jingcha was so angry her teeth itched. This man had performed the despicable shamelessness of a businessman to perfection. How long had it been since anyone had left her so helpless?

Was this man specially sent by heaven to torment her?

“Fine, I’ll sign.”

Luo Jingcha pressed her lips together and smiled slightly, speaking softly and gently.

It was just three months. She didn’t believe that with some effort, she couldn’t turn her bicycle into a motorcycle!

Mo Wangchu handed her a pen.

Luo Jingcha took the pen and signed her name cleanly on the paper, then also took the copy from Mo Wangchu’s hand and signed that too.

She never hesitated after making a decision.

“Satisfied now, boss?” Luo Jingcha smiled as she handed the contract and pen back to him, even changing how she addressed him.

But Mo Wangchu didn’t take them, his eyes fixed on her the whole time.

His gaze was cold and sharp, as if he could see through people’s hearts. Luo Jingcha felt a bit unnerved being stared at like this and reminded him, “CEO, I only sell my skills, not my body.”

Mo Wangchu let out a slight snort through his nose, his disdain extremely obvious. “Your mouth calls me boss, but what’s your brain thinking? After signing the contract, you’re my personal assistant. Naturally, you keep the contract.”

Luo Jingcha: “……”

This guy sure got into character quickly!

Luo Jingcha put away the contract and sat properly with her legs together like a little assistant. The car started up and drove toward the north of the city.

The north of the city was S City’s wealthy district, where high-end residential complexes and luxury villas were built. She didn’t think much of it when the car headed this way, but it wasn’t until the car drove into the courtyard of an extremely familiar villa that Luo Jingcha realized where she was.

The driver Mo Qi unfastened his seatbelt, got out, and opened the door for Mo Wangchu. “Second Master, you can get out now.”

Mo Wangchu glanced at her, his eyes clearly showing mockery and smugness, and under Luo Jingcha’s shocked gaze, he stepped out of the car with his long legs.

Luo Jingcha sat in the car, nearly dying of anger!

The Second Master she had been cursing all afternoon was actually Mo Wangchu?

Three months, three months. Luo Jingcha finally understood that everything today had been a trap set for her, all to lure her in!

What virtue or ability did she, Luo Jingcha, possess to be worth someone of Mo Wangchu’s status setting up such a scheme for her? She asked herself—from the time she transmigrated until now, she had absolutely no connection with this CEO Mo.

She had to ask Xiao Luo: “Xiao Luo, tell me honestly, did you offend someone from Mo Group?”

Xiao Luo was completely confused by her sudden question: “What Mo Group? What offense? I hope they don’t bully me—I’d never actively offend anyone…”

“That’s true…” Given Xiao Luo’s personality, it was impossible for her to get involved with someone like Mo Wangchu.

Then why exactly did he insist on keeping her by his side for three months?

Luo Jingcha thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out. Mo Wangchu had already walked to her side of the car and knocked on the window. “Come down. You have no way out.”

Luo Jingcha angrily opened the door and got out. Since everything was now out in the open, she had nothing to fear. Looking at Mo Wangchu, she questioned, “CEO Mo, you went to such great lengths just to control me in the palm of your hand. I don’t have anything on me worth your attention, so why? I remember that before today, you and I had absolutely no relationship whatsoever!”

Her words were very direct, but Mo Wangchu looked at her and said, “You’re wrong. We’ve met twice before this.”

“Twice?”

Luo Jingcha didn’t know what she was feeling at this moment, only that the man opposite her might be mentally ill.

Question: “Did I offend you?”

Answer: “No.”

“Do I owe you money?”

“No.”

“Do you think I’m your long-lost sister?”

Mo Wangchu looked at her with disdain. “Are you worthy?”

Luo Jingcha: “……”

She really couldn’t hold back anymore and cursed. “Then are you sick or something? Why do you insist on keeping me here for three months? If I could escape once today, don’t you believe I could escape a second time, a third time!”

At her words, Mo Wangchu’s eyes suddenly turned cold. He walked up to her, narrowed his eyes as he looked at her, and his chilling aura instantly exploded, like a hunter in the darkness staring at prey, as if he might strike at any moment to bite through the prey’s neck.

“I advise you to behave yourself. My temper isn’t as good as you imagine. If you’re obedient, perhaps I’ll only keep you for three months, but if you dare to play any more tricks…”

Mo Wangchu’s gaze slid from her eyes to her chin, then slowly fixed on her neck. He slowly leaned close to her ear and said, “I’ll make sure you never see sunlight again.”
