The Contract CEO's Arrogant Pet: Part VI – The Eternal Contract and the Fusion
Chapter One: Crisis Aftermath and the New Order
59. The Tech Cleanup and the Prelude to the Legal War
After Kamil's defeat under the combined impact of ancient magic and modern technology, the residual energy fallout left the global financial world in chaos. Lu Chen had no time to revel in victory. He had to quickly package this "supernatural war" into an "international economic crime."
"Initiate 'Data Purge'! Eliminate all magical traces. Attribute all of Kamil's actions to malicious, cross-border financial terrorism," Lu Chen's voice was low and decisive in the makeshift command center.
Aethel Group's top legal and data teams moved swiftly. They used blockchain technology and financial law to systematically dismantle Kamil's ancient financial network. Every hidden asset of the old clan was precisely converted into "illegal gains," resulting in legal freeze and confiscation.
The legal battle lasted for months, culminating in a complete severance of the ancient vampire power's influence over modern finance. They were forced out of the public sphere and retreated underground. Lu Chen used mortal law and technology to draw a "new boundary" for the vampire world.
60. Yulia's Return and the Clan's Judgment
Yulia, accompanied by Lu Chen, returned to the clan's Elder Council. She was no longer the clumsy, fleeing princess, but a hero who had saved the vampire world.
The moderate Elders, witnessing Kamil's destruction and Lu Chen's "technological miracle," realized that isolation would only lead to extinction.
Yulia demonstrated her and Lu Chen's fused power: she stably channeled her ancient runic power into a modern energy device, boosting its efficiency severalfold.
"The clan needs survival and evolution, not decaying glory," Yulia convinced the Elders with a firm, powerful voice.
Ultimately, Yulia was granted the clan's succession rights. With Lu Chen's assistance, she began the modernization of the ancient, rigid vampire system, including the establishment of "Vampire-Friendly" data encryption networks and an "Energy Exchange Bank."
61. The Birth of the 'Evernight Tech' Industry
Lu Chen utilized the data models extracted from Yulia's magic to launch a completely new, era-defining industry sector within Aethel Group—"Evernight Tech."
The core of this industry was the "Energy Stabilizer," which could stabilize, convert, and store the chaotic energy of vampires and mages, applying it to modern life.
• Product A: "Traceless Communication Device," allowing supernatural beings to send messages on modern networks without being technologically locked or interfered with.
• Product B: "Evernight-Friendly Home," capable of filtering and converting UV light, allowing vampires to operate during the day.
The launch of this sector not only solidified Lu Chen's position in the global tech community but also provided a strong economic foundation for peaceful coexistence between the human and vampire worlds.
62. Yulia's Fashion Evolution: The Arrogant Makeover
On the eve of the "Evernight Tech" product launch, Lu Chen personally arranged a "Modern Noble Fashion Makeover" for Yulia.
Yulia maintained her arrogance and elegance, but she no longer wore the heavy dark purple velvet cloak. Her designers, the world's finest artists, combined ancient runes with modern fiber materials, crafting a series of sleek, elegant, and technologically advanced garments for her.
When Yulia, wearing a perfectly tailored deep blue gown and an Evernight necklace that absorbed light energy, confidently appeared at the launch, the audience was stunned. She was no longer the clumsy "ugly duckling" but the "New Age Queen," commanding both the ancient and the modern.
Lu Chen watched her, his eyes filled with pride and love. Yulia walked toward him, a mischievous smile playing on her lips, and whispered: "Servant, I permit you to praise me." Lu Chen smiled, leaning down to whisper in her ear: "My Queen, your evolution has far exceeded my data projection."
Chapter Two: The Proposal of the Century: The Eternal Data Contract
63. The CEO's Secret Preparations and Data Romance
Lu Chen decided to propose to Yulia. He didn't want any mundane, fragile ring; he wanted to give her an eternal, incorruptible promise.
He secretly mobilized Aethel Group's highest-level encrypted database to prepare a "Data Romance" exclusively for Yulia. He chose the location above the basement where their love had blossomed amidst their arguments—it was now transformed into an artificial, windowless "Evernight Garden."
He had thousands of miniature drones circle above the garden. Their lights would change color and pattern in real-time, responding to Yulia's emotional fluctuations.
64. The Dreamlike Ritual of Runes and Drones
On the day of the proposal, Yulia was guided into the garden by a drone formation that flickered with the ancient Dracula family runes.
The garden was illuminated by new Evernight Tech lighting, casting a soft blue glow. As Yulia walked, the surrounding flowers sensed her magic and instantly bloomed.
In the center of the garden, Lu Chen, dressed in a custom-made pure black tuxedo, stood beneath a holographic projection of a rotating galaxy.
65. The Dominant Promise and the Proposal Gift: The Eternal Contract
Lu Chen did not kneel, knowing Yulia disliked "humble mortal rituals." He walked up to her, his gaze firm and deeply affectionate.
"You called me a liar, Yulia. You said I saw you as a commercial pawn." Lu Chen extended his hand, and the holographic projection unfolded in his palm.
It wasn't a diamond ring, but an "Eternal Contract" shimmering with gold runes.
"The gift of this contract is this: I have entered your name into the encrypted database of all Aethel Group's core assets as the 'Sole and Irrevocable Heir.' This data is harder than diamond, more eternal than blood."
66. The CEO's Ultimate Security Protocol
Lu Chen's proposal speech was filled with CEO dominance and deep affection:
"You once demanded I sign a Lifetime Servant Contract. Now, I demand you sign this Eternal Data Contract. You are my ultimate security protocol. All my wealth, power, and secrets are in your hands. Should I ever betray you again, you can instantly destroy my commercial kingdom. I hand over the power to destroy me to you."
Yulia's tears finally flowed. It wasn't just from emotion, but from feeling completely understood. Lu Chen knew she didn't want money; she wanted absolute trust and commitment.
"Servant," Yulia said arrogantly, though her tears streamed down, "I permit you to be my only husband."
She used the force of her fingertip to carve her ancient rune onto the holographic projection. The Eternal Data Contract instantly took effect.
Chapter Three: The Wedding of the Century and the Fusion of Worldviews
67. The Contrast of Guests and the Social Comedy
The wedding was held at Lu Chen's "Sky City," a structure that cost hundreds of millions to build. The guests were the top representatives of both worlds:
• Vampire Nobles: Dressed in ancient attire, communicating in elegant old languages, they were curious yet disdainful of elevators, projectors, and automatic climate control.
• Tech CEOs and Financial Elites: Dressed fashionably, communicating in technical jargon, they were confused by the vampire nobles' intense "sense of ritual."
A vampire Elder accidentally spilled a ceremonial red wine (used for rituals) onto a top financial analyst's suit, sparking a hilarious argument about "ancient stains" versus "modern fibers."
68. The Wedding Ceremony: A Symphony of Tech and Antiquity
The wedding combined the highest standards of both the ancient and the modern.
Yulia's gown was the "Veil of Evernight," made of fiber-optic material, emitting a soft blue glow in the dark, perfectly complementing her vampire nature.
When exchanging vows, they used more than a simple "I do."
• Yulia: "I vow by the Ancient Blood to co-create an eternal data structure with you; it shall be unbreakable."
• Lu Chen: "I promise by mortal love to write the most fortified encryption program for you; it shall be uncorrupted eternally."
They exchanged fingerprints and blood, completing the dual ceremony of the "Data Contract" and the "Blood Vow Contract."
69. The Rival's Blessing and Peaceful Coexistence
Former rival Aline gracefully attended the wedding, now a key partner in "Evernight Tech."
In her toast, she paid tribute to Yulia: "You won, Yulia. I once thought only money and power could tame Lu Chen. But I was wrong. Only your ancient strength and awkward love could make this modern sovereign willingly surrender every facade for you."
Her blessing symbolized the modern commercial world's acceptance of the supernatural.
Chapter Four: Married Life: The Eternal Contract of the Arrogant Pet
70. The CEO's Continued 'Servant' Ruse and Sweetness
After the wedding, Lu Chen remained the outwardly ruthless CEO, but at home, he would still "secretly" wear the ancient leather jacket Yulia deemed his "battle suit," enjoying Yulia's "clumsy protection" at night.
Yulia would occasionally issue "mistress-like" commands: "Servant! You must hide in the wardrobe tonight! Because it's the night of the full moon, and mortals are fragile!"
Lu Chen would obediently retreat into his smart wardrobe, where he would then process billions in urgent documents. He had come to view this "role-playing" as the sweetest aspect of his life.
71. The Princess's 'Arrogant Indulgence' and the Tech Glitches
Yulia learned to indulge Lu Chen in modern ways. She designed an "Energy-Friendly" smart home system for him.
She intended to make the home cozy, but always accidentally left a minor magical glitch:
• Kitchen: The milk in the fridge would occasionally turn into a rich, blood-colored beverage (though it still tasted like milk).
• Bathroom: The hot water in the shower would sometimes turn into icy ancient spring water because Yulia believed "cold water better stimulates mortal vitality."
Lu Chen would laugh while pouring out the milk, then give Yulia a deep kiss: "My Queen, your love is always full of surprises."
72. The Contrast Comedy of a Domestic Crisis
Once, Yulia's moderate Elder kin came to visit, only to be mistaken by Lu Chen's newest fully automated cleaning robot as "something dirty."
The Elder wore his ancient robe, and the robot precisely chased him, spraying cleaning fluid. The Elder felt immensely insulted, and Yulia had to use both magic and modern programming code to "mediate" this contrast conflict between "the ancient and the modern."
Ultimately, Yulia successfully formatted the robot and reprogrammed it with ancient runes, teaching it only to clean "magically contaminated areas."
73. The Eternal Promise and the Warm Epilogue
In the final scene of the story, Yulia and Lu Chen sat in their high-tech Evernight Garden.
Yulia leaned into Lu Chen's embrace, looking up at the runes formed by the drones in the sky, and whispered, "Lu Chen, do you remember the contract?"
Lu Chen kissed her forehead: "Of course. It is the most valuable and most honest promise of my life."
Yulia smiled with a hint of arrogance: "So, are you still my servant?"
Lu Chen held her tightly, his eyes filled with eternal love: "I am your CEO, and your eternal servant. Because your love made me a better ruler."
In the night interwoven with data and magic, their union became the symbol of two worlds coexisting peacefully. Together, they looked toward the future of "Evernight Tech" and their "Arrogant Pet"'s eternal contract.
