Yun Jie lit the letter with a fire breaker, and then quietly watched it burn to ashes in the basin.

Then he looked back at the agreement that was still on the table......

"Do you want to sign it or not?"

At this time, Yun Jie no longer thinks about the question of "whether it is worth it".

Or rather, in fact, he didn't have anything to dwell on on this issue - long before negotiating with Gao Ran, he had already made a decision in his heart.

Whether it's worth it or not, he knows in his heart.

It's just that Gao Ran's conditions are indeed a little too much beyond his original expectations - he thought that Gao Ran would probably take advantage of him ruthlessly, but he didn't think that she would be so ruthless!

From Gao Ran's standpoint, she only mentioned what she wanted to do after marriage from beginning to end in the letter, but she didn't mention that Yun Jie could actually choose a cooperation plan that was not premised on getting married......

In doing so, she is actually playing a trick......

This is like "when a customer goes into a noodle restaurant to eat noodles": if a customer orders noodles and the store asks him "do you want eggs?" he is likely to answer "one egg" or "no eggs", but if the store asks him "do you want one egg or two?" and directly excludes the "no eggs" option for him, he will probably not think of the "no eggs" option himself, but will answer "one egg" or "two eggs"......

On the same principle, Gao Ran never took the initiative to give Yun Jie the option of "cooperating even if you don't get married" in the letter.

Who let this be Yun Jie's own idea first?!

After having Yun Jie's own preconceived plan, Gao Ran deliberately avoided mentioning it, and Yun Jie naturally didn't think of it himself - in fact, in addition to "whether to agree to Gao Ran's request", he could also choose the option of "cooperating without getting married".

Although the "third option" was exactly Gao Ran's original plan, but when she remembered that she still had the "task" of "marrying a third husband before the age of thirty", her selfishness had already changed her original intention - this time, it was no longer a question of whether she wanted to marry Yun Jie, but she wanted to trick Yun Jie into marrying her conditionally!

It is precisely because of such an calculation in her heart that Gao Ran focused on her next series of arrangements after Yun Jie signed the "prenuptial agreement" in the letter......

She did this so that Yun Jie would look at it, so that he would not think about the "third option" that was not mentioned in the letter at all.

When he read the letter, he probably thought that he had only two options: either he signed an agreement and they became officially allies, and the benefits would be shared and mutually beneficial - and, with the security of marriage, their mutually beneficial relationship would last a lifetime, or he would not sign it, but cooperation would be impossible.

In fact, if Yun Jie could be a little calmer at this time, or at least not regard "getting married" as something that must be done in his life, maybe he would be able to realize that he actually has a "third choice" - he and Gao Ran, in fact, still have room for negotiation other than the two options she gave!

But, unfortunately, Gao Ran realized this, but Yun Jie did not......

Therefore, this "blind spot of thinking" of his will be "fully used" by Gao Ran, and he himself is completely unaware of it......

Yun Jie silently thought about the "agreement" for a long time, and imagined his whole life, and then finally "thought about it"!

"That's it! Anyway, if you don't touch my bottom line, won't you suffer more losses than you expected?! It's nothing! Anyway, it's not for me to die! It's okay! As long as it doesn't prevent me from getting what I want most, anything!"

When he talked to himself like this, Yun Jie couldn't tell whether he was comforting himself, or was it really what he was thinking?!

But no matter what, after thinking about it for a long time, the final result was still as Gao Ran expected - signing his own name and stamping his handprint at the end of the agreement.

Then, Yun Jie's whole person was much more relaxed.

He thought that if he delayed the next thing for a moment, his future would be more uncertain and dangerous!

Therefore, without further ado, he quickly rolled up the "agreement", put it in his shirt, and hid it close to his body, and after hurriedly washing and combing it, he pushed the door out of the room, summoned Xiao Er, and asked Xiao Er to lead him to the shopkeeper Li......

――

On the other hand, after Gao Ran left the inn, she handed over her child to Qiao'er to lead her, and she herself nestled in Gao Xi's arms and rode with him.

Along the way, except for when she first got on the horse, she specially said to Gao Xi, "Xi, I'm so sleepy, sleep for a while, you have to hold me tight, don't let me fall ......", and then she quickly fell asleep and never woke up.

So, along the way, Gao Xi hugged Gao Ran's waist with one hand, let her fall asleep close to his chest, and pulled the reins with the other hand, always controlling the horse that was galloping at high speed......

When Gao Ran finally woke up, she realized that it was already dark and it was late at night.

However, looking around, she found that she was not lying in the room of some inn, but in the woods in the wilderness......

"It's a wilderness again......"

Think about this world, the transportation is underdeveloped, the population is small, and the places where the population is concentrated are mostly quite far apart......

Therefore, Gao Ran was mentally prepared for the point that "you may have to sleep in the wild often" along the way, the moment she decided to go to Banana Country.

It's just, think about it, do it.

When she really experienced the wild again so quickly, she still felt a little emotion in her heart - after all, she was not from this world, and she had not been here for a long time, and she could not fully adapt to the environment here......

However, she had a hunch that perhaps, the next time she slept in the wilderness, she should not feel anything anymore, and she would really regard this as a trivial matter!

"Alas......"

Gao Ran couldn't help but sigh, she already clearly felt that she was adapting to the new environment of this world at a very fast speed, and had begun to gradually "assimilate" with this place - both physically and psychologically......

This feeling made Gao Ran quite conflicted......

She was glad that many of the "edges and corners" in her soul that were too "out of place" with the world would become more and more blurred;

But at the same time, she also felt an inexplicable fear that the shadow of her "original world" was gradually disappearing—just like a person who had lost his "hometown" because he had no place to go back to, and even the so-called "hometown" began to be gradually forgotten......

Thinking of this, Gao Ran's body unconsciously became a little cold, and she unconsciously wanted to reach out and hug herself tightly and get some warmth for herself......

"Huh?"

Gao Ran, who was still immersed in her own thoughts, didn't think that her hand hadn't touched herself, but first touched the arm of another person—the tall arm that was hugging her.

She just woke up for a while, and just instinctively paid attention to the sky and the surrounding environment, but completely ignored that she was being tightly embraced by Gao Xi......

Gao Ran raised her head slightly and glanced at Gao Xi behind her—but from that angle, only his chin could be seen......

However, judging by Guò's snort, he should have fallen asleep at the moment.

Gao Ran was stunned for a while, she was very surprised to herself - she could sleep so soundly in someone else's arms, and she had slept for so long! After waking up, she didn't even realize that she was still in someone else's arms for the first time......

"Is my alertness getting worse?!, or am I ......?"

Gao Ran unconsciously put his hand on Gao Xi's hand, "Or do I actually think of him as someone close to me?!"

Regarding the fact that he might trust Gao Xi more than he imagined, Gao Ran was already very surprised just thinking about it!

She realized, she had changed!

Otherwise, how could she have so easily entrusted herself to someone else, who would protect and take care of herself, even if only while she was asleep?!

"His hands are so cold...... Xu is blown by the wind......"

Maybe it was because of the contrast, Gao Ran realized at this moment that Gao Xi's arms were really warm - she didn't feel cold at all.

It turned out that she was able to sleep until she woke up naturally without being frozen awake halfway because Gao Xi had been warming her with his body temperature......

"Hmmm......"

Gao Xi suddenly let out a sleeping murmur, and then unconsciously reversed his palm, wrapping Gao Ran's hand on the back of his hand in his palm.

Unlike the cold backs of his hands, his palms, which were always close to his arms, were warm.

"Hehe......"

Gao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.

This Gao Xi turned out to be really protective of her!

Even when she fell asleep, she subconsciously still thought that she couldn't catch a cold......

Although he was just sober, Gao Ran didn't want to break the tranquility of the moment.

On the contrary, she enjoyed the tranquility of the moment......

So, she made her already relaxed body even more relaxed, and the whole person snuggled in Gao Xi's arms without reservation, adjusted her posture slightly, so that she could snuggle in his arms more comfortably, and then closed her eyes again.

Whether she could fall asleep or not, she didn't plan to open her eyes again - until dawn, she wanted to snuggle up in Gao Xi's arms all the time, enjoying the warmth that belonged to Gao Xi alone......

However, what Gao Ran didn't know was that when she gradually fell asleep again, Gao Xi suddenly opened her eyes......

In fact, when Gao Ran woke up and her body was unconsciously stiffer than when she was asleep, Gao Xi had been awakened by her.

It's just that he was too nostalgic for the feeling of holding her in his arms and was reluctant to let go, so he pretended to continue to fall asleep.

He had even made up his mind that as long as Gao Ran didn't want to wake him up, he would continue to pretend to be asleep until dawn.

After noticing that Gao Ran's breath had become soothing and long again, Gao Xi opened his eyes from pretending to be asleep......

He lowered his head and carefully studied Gao Ran's sleeping face for a while, then looked at his big hand that wrapped her small hand, and smiled.

After a long time, he closed his eyes again and fell asleep contentedly......
