However, even after Bai Jinyao said these words, Luo Xichu’s eyes were still closed and he did not respond.

Bai Jinyao was speechless.

It seemed that Luo Xichu didn’t believe her.

She guessed it was acceptable because the original female lead had been too mean to him.

It was understandable that Luo Xichu didn’t believe her.

However, she didn’t care because she had done what she could.

After thinking for a while, Bai Jinyao walked to the bed and picked up the empty bowl. She picked up Luo Xichu’s clothes and was about to leave the house.

But just as she turned around, Luo Xichu’s voice was still hoarse and cold.

“Is what you said true?”

“Of course! I, Bai Jinyao, have always kept my word!”

Bai Jinyao immediately turned around and looked at Luo Xichu. Even the fat on her body trembled.

“Then let’s sign a contract to hold this legally binding.”

Luo Xichu looked at Bai Jinyao coldly. Her eyes seemed to be betting on whether Bai Jinyao would dare to sign the contract.

Once the contract was signed, if Bai Jinyao went back on her words and refused to let him leave, Luo Xichu could file a lawsuit against her!

Beiluo Kingdom was very strict with the management of contracts. As long as a contract was signed, it would be protected by the government and the officials.

When Bai Jinyao heard this, she immediately agreed without any hesitation.

“Alright, I’ll go get the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.”

Bai Jinyao’s straightforwardness made Luo Xichu seem a little surprised, but he only hummed in agreement and didn’t show it on his face.

Bai Jinyao quickly brought over a brush, ink, paper, and an inkstone and ground the ink.

“Are you going to write it? Or do you want me to write it?”

Bai Jinyao picked up the brush and thought for a while before asking Luo Xichu.

“I’ll do it.”

Luo Xichu sat up with some difficulty. His untied black hair hung behind her, and a few strands fell on his flushed cheeks.

His forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and his clothes were slightly open, revealing his delicate collarbones.

Luo Xichu was already very good-looking, and now his slightly burning and red face almost drove Bai Jinyao crazy because she was all for the looks of men.

She came back to her senses and quickly coughed to look away.

Luo Xichu got up and staggered to the round table to sit down. She picked up the brush and pondered for a moment, then began to write on the paper.

Soon, Luo Xichu finished writing on a piece of paper and handed it to Bai Jinyao.

Bai Jinyao took the contract and looked at it. There was only one sentence written on the white paper.

After Jiang Tieniu had recovered, Bai Jinyao had to keep her promise by divorcing Jiang Tieniu and allowing him to leave the Bai family.

It was simple and straightforward.

Moreover, the name Luo Xichu had written was not Luo Xichu, but Jiang Tieniu, who had already been registered as Bai Jinyao’s live-in husband with the government.

This way, even if Bai Jinyao were to go back on her word, Luo Xichu, who was now Jiang Tieniu, could take this contract and report Bai Jinyao to the authorities.

Luo Xichu saw Bai Jinyao staring at the contract for a long time before he forced himself to ask. His body was weak from the fever.

“How is it?”

“Good.”

Bai Jinyao nodded, picked up the brush, and wrote her name on it stroke by stroke.

She signed and stamped her thumbprint.

There were two copies of the contract. Luo Xichu and Bai Jinyao each kept one copy.

Seeing that Bai Jinyao had signed her name so readily, Luo Xichu’s confidence in Bai Jinyao grew a little more.

Luo Xichu solemnly folded the contract and put it in his arms. Then, he stood up with the help of the table and wanted to go back to bed to rest.

However, his vision suddenly turned black, and he fell to the ground before he could even take two steps!
