After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

"Since you know all this, you still want to marry me?"

Shen Yao could clearly hear her own trembling voice.

She was a little scared.

As for what she was afraid of, she couldn't explain it clearly.

She no longer dared to look men in the eye.

"Yes, I still want to marry you." Bo Yuxiu said, emphasizing each word.

He spoke clearly, and Shen Yao couldn't pretend she didn't hear him.

"Why do you have to be like this? With your looks and qualities, you could have any kind of woman you wanted."

Shen Yao still didn't believe Bo Yuxiu.

Past experiences have taught her that trying to make a man fall in love with you is tantamount to handing over the reins of your life to him.

Even now, after all these 20 years, Shen Yao still feels very sad when she thinks about the days when Gu Tianyou didn't cherish her.

It wasn't because of this man that she was sad, but because of her own sadness.

Perhaps it was her lack of love since childhood that made her so obsessed with Gu Tianyou.

This also caused her to hang on to Gu Tianyou for far too long.

She was heartbroken, which is why she climbed down from the tree herself.

Now that Bo Yuxiu is acting like he wants to love her for a lifetime, Shen Yao's only thought is: Impossible.

Bo Yuxiu seemed to know what she was thinking.

“No matter how good other women are, they are not you.” Bo Yuxiu looked into the woman’s eyes and said affectionately.

"No, perhaps it's because I'm outstanding in certain ways that you think marrying me would be a win-win situation. But Bo Yuxiu, I'm incapable of loving anyone anymore. Do you understand? Even so, you still want to marry me?"

"No matter what you become, I will still love you."

"Hmph, you men really know how to talk," Shen Yao teased.

“I am not the man you think I am. I am who I am. Please believe in Bo Yuxiu.”

Shen Yao tried her best to suppress the man, but the man became more and more determined with each setback.

After nearly half an hour of stalemate, Shen Yao was defeated.

“Bo Yuxiu, marriage is not a game. If you really want to marry me, you might try dating me first.”

"Okay, we can try dating first. From today onwards, we will be boyfriend and girlfriend."

“You…” Shen Yao saw the cunning in the man’s eyes.

She realized that she seemed to have fallen into a man's trap.

Between marriage and dating, the cost of trial and error is definitely lower in dating.

Shen Yao wasn't in a hurry to get married and have children, and the reason she said that was entirely to get rid of Bo Yuxiu.

However, Bo Yuxiu's next words made Shen Yao vaguely realize that she was being plotted against.

"Yaoyao, as your boyfriend, shouldn't you take me to Gu Tianyou's wedding?"

"Yes, I should take you there."

Upon closer examination, Shen Yao realized that there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

If she were to attend Gu Tianyou and Shen Yao's wedding alone, who knows what embarrassing things might happen.

It's good to have someone else with her.

After inexplicably becoming Bo Yuxiu's girlfriend, Shen Yao was immediately dragged by this man to handle various certificates.

These certificates are not marriage certificates.

In the evening, as Shen Yao lay down on the sofa with heavy steps, Bo Yuxiu patiently laid out the certificates in front of her one by one.

"The house you live in now is yours starting today. The remaining five houses are all registered in your name."

Shen Yao never dreamed that Bo Yuxu would drag her out for this reason.

She originally wanted to refuse, but Bo Yuxiu's domineering and combined approach of soft and hard tactics made it impossible for her to refuse.

"If you don't agree, I'll stand at the door and keep kissing you until you agree."

Shen Yao was shy and couldn't stand such public displays of affection.

She could only agree.

I've seen people chasing after debtors, but I've never seen someone chasing after someone to give them a house.

In just one afternoon, Shen Yao acquired real estate worth several hundred million yuan under her name.

Looking at the man in front of her, whose lips always wore a faint smile, she asked in confusion, "Why are you spending so much money to date me?"

Bo Yuxiu reached out and gently pinched the woman's nose. "I'm willing. Isn't the purpose of a man earning money for his wife to spend?"

Shen Yao was slightly taken aback when she heard the man say that.

But I realized it immediately.

"I'm not your wife, don't call me that."

Bo Yuxiu said seriously, "In my heart, you are my wife. After we get married, I will put your name on all the remaining property deeds."

"No, no, I think today's wine is enough."

Shen Yao felt that the house she currently lived in, plus the other five shared houses, was already more than enough.

She is not a materialistic person and doesn't care much about material possessions.

Therefore, she was really not used to Bo Yuxiu suddenly giving her all these material things.

"I want to give you everything I have," Bo Yuxiu paused, "including myself."

The more a man talks, the closer he gets to you.

Shen Yao was startled and instinctively pushed him away.

"I don't need it for now."

Bo Yuxiu smiled slightly, stood up, and sat down next to Shen Yao.

His long, slender arms gently encircled her shoulders. "You really don't need it, hmm?"

Shen Yao felt as if she had been electrocuted and tried to break free from the man.

The man cupped her face in his two large hands.

A warm, moist kiss landed on my lips.

Beautiful and tender.

It made Shen Yao feel suffocated.

Half an hour later, she wiped her lips with disgust, frowned at the man, and said, "Were you born in the Year of the Dog in your past life?"

Bo Yuxiu ignored the woman's disdain and smiled slightly.

"If it were you, I wouldn't want to be a simp."

Shen Yao's face instantly turned as red as a monkey's bottom. She picked up a pillow and threw it directly at Bo Yuxiu, yelling, "You hypocrite!"

Who would have thought that this man would be spouting inappropriate things for children in private...?

Just as Shen Yao's ears turned red, her phone vibrated.

She picked it up and saw that it was another call from an unknown number.

She had a feeling that it would be Gu Tianyou calling.

I pressed the answer button, and sure enough, it was this man.

"Grandpa left you something before he passed away. He put it in the study. Come and get it now."

If it were something else, Shen Yao could simply say she didn't want it.

However, once she heard that it was a gift from Old Master Gu, she had no choice but to go.

After all, Ye Yingying will soon be the owner of the Gu family villa, and Shen Yao's things are indeed no longer suitable to be placed there.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yao told Bo Yuxiu about it.

Bo Yuxiu immediately said that he would go with her.

Shen Yao thought about it and agreed.

The two arrived at the Gu family villa at 3 p.m.

As soon as Wang Ma saw Shen Yao return, she quickly put down her work and came over to greet her.

"Young Madam, you're finally back."

Bo Yuxiu stepped out from behind Shen Yao, his face grim, and said, "She is no longer your young mistress."

When Wang Ma saw Bo Yuxiu, she was slightly taken aback. She turned to look at Shen Yao and asked, "Young Madam, who is he?"
