A whirlwind marriage! A billionaire CEO lives off his wife with great satisfaction.

"You think too much."

After saying this, Gu Xiangque turned and went to his study.

He is very busy and has a lot of work to do.

I've been really overwhelmed by family matters lately.

Mu Mian took her luggage to the second bedroom.

If she had gone home with Gu Xiangque on the day they got their marriage certificate, she would have gone straight to the master bedroom. She wanted to live a good life with him, but after a few encounters, she realized that Gu Xiangque didn't have those kinds of thoughts.

She also respects it.

Mu Mian opened the wardrobe and found several men's clothes hanging inside, as well as newly laid sheets and duvet covers on the bed.

It seems that Gu Xiangque has reserved this room.

Mu Mian had no choice but to go to the master bedroom and retrieve all her belongings.

She is tidying up her clothes.

At this moment, she saw a property ownership certificate in the half-open drawer. When she took it out, she realized that her name was on the certificate and that the house was jointly owned by her and Gu Xiangque.

Mu Mian: "..."

No wonder Gu Xiangque said she was 'overthinking' earlier.

After tidying up her clothes, Mu Mian went to the supermarket outside the community to buy groceries and cooked three dishes and a soup.

knock knock.

"Enter."

Gu Xiangque's steady and deep voice came from the study.

When Mu Mian opened the door, Gu Xiangque, who was sitting in the study, smelled the aroma of food wafting towards him, a smell of home cooking. "The food is ready. Do you want to eat now or do you want to continue working for a while?"

He seems quite busy.

"Now."

He hesitated for a moment before answering.

Mu Mian had already set out the bowls and chopsticks, leaving Gu Xiangque no work to do. As soon as he sat down, Mu Mian took his bowl and served him rice. Gu Xiangque took it and said, "Thank you."

"I was in a rush today, so I just quickly made a few dishes. Try them and see if they suit your taste. I'll start preparing our dinners properly from tomorrow onwards," Mu Mian said.

Gu Xiangque was stunned.

These things were never part of his life plan.

He has never sat down at home with a woman to eat dinner after get off work.

He didn't say anything, but he tasted the dishes Mu Mian had made.

It tastes great and suits his palate perfectly.

"By the way, I saw the property certificate when I was cleaning the room earlier. Why is my name on it?" Mu Mian asked.

Gu Xiangque: ?

If he said he didn't know why her name was there, would Mu Mian believe him?

This house was prepared by Chen Fang on a temporary basis.

It was mostly arranged by Chen Fang.

Seeing that Gu Xiangque didn't speak, Mu Mian didn't ask any more questions, but she suggested that she would help him pay the mortgage.

The house, worth over a million, plus renovations, cost nearly two million. Given Gu Xiangque's income, it was impossible for him to buy it outright; he would definitely take out a loan. Since Mu Mian's name was on the property deed, she wouldn't take advantage of that.

Based on a ten-year loan, the monthly mortgage payment for this house would be around six thousand.

Mu Mian took out her phone and transferred three thousand yuan to Gu Xiangque.

A ding-dong sound.

Gu Xiangque's phone, which was on the table, rang. He looked at Mu Mian sitting opposite him, and asked, "What?"

"I'll transfer three thousand to you every month for the mortgage payment."

Gu Xiangque: ?

Is he short of her three thousand a month?

"Do you have a lot of money?" Gu Xiangque asked Mu Mian.

This sentence is derogatory.

Mu Mian put down her chopsticks. "It's not much, but since I own half of the house, it's only right that we share the cost. You already paid the down payment, so you've already lost out. You don't need to give me living expenses every month anymore."

I'll cover the household utilities (water, electricity, gas), food, and clothing.

Gu Xiangque: Was he being kept by a sugar daddy?

He didn't need Mu Mian to do these things at all, but he still didn't object. He just wanted to see how long she could keep up the act, even though his preconceived notions about Mu Mian were already wavering.

But he still wanted to know the result.

**

In Guangming Residential Area.

After dinner, Mu's mother was chatting with a few neighbors in the community.

At this time.

Aunt Zhang came over and said, "Old Mu, you know that Mianmian is living with a man, right? I've never heard you mention it before. When are you going to have the wedding?"

Mu's mother: Cohabitation? With a man?

She doesn't know.

Mu Mian didn't mention it to her family.

"You don't know that Mianmian has a boyfriend behind your back, do you? You should ask her right away. My daughter saw your Mianmian in their neighborhood with her own eyes, and that man helped her carry her luggage."

He's very tall and quite handsome.

As you all know, the neighborhood my daughter lives in is one of the best in Chengdu's main urban area.

Although Mu's mother said that nothing of the sort happened, that Mianmian wasn't that kind of girl and wouldn't live with a man casually, and that she must have seen wrong, she still felt uneasy.

After returning home.

Mu's mother called Mu Mian.

Mu Mian was washing dishes in the kitchen, her hands covered in oil.

The phone was placed on the coffee table in the living room.

She ran outside and saw it was her mother calling, but her hands were oily and she couldn't answer.

Gu Xiangque happened to be sitting on the sofa.

He picked up the phone for Mu Mian.

Mu Mian thanked him.

Gu Xiangque stood up and held the phone to Mu Mian's ear. "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Mianmian, your Aunt Zhang's daughter said today that she saw you living with a man in Yunjin Bay. Is that true?"

Mu's mother's voice was very loud on the phone.

It was hard for Gu Xiangque, who was holding up his phone, not to hear.

He was looking at Mu Mian with a puzzled expression, so Mu Mian hadn't told her family about their marriage.

Mu Mian looked up and met Gu Xiangque's gaze. She was apologizing to him with her eyes, "Mom, I... I'm married."

marry?

"This matter is a bit complicated, let me explain it to you slowly."

Gu Xiangque handed a few tissues to Mu Mian, knowing he might not be able to hear what was coming next. Mu Mian wiped her hands clean and took her phone to the balcony. "Mom, I married him because of the 300,000 yuan."

I didn't tell you because I thought we were very likely to get divorced..."

Mu Mian explained everything clearly over the phone.

Mother Mu understood as well.

"What are his family's circumstances like? I heard that those who can afford to buy a house in Yunjin Bay must at least have a formal job. If his circumstances allow, it's fine not to divorce. You should stay with him and find time to bring him home to meet your family."

Mu Mian knew that her mother was after Gu Xiangque's money, but unfortunately, he didn't.

"I have a regular job, and the house was bought with a loan."

A loan?

Doesn't that mean she'll have to pay off the mortgage? There are many people in this situation. Mu's mother has always hoped that her daughter could marry a rich man, not for the sake of the family, but because she hoped that her daughter would have to work less for decades.

"Mianmian, don't tell anyone about your marriage beforehand. Otherwise, it will be difficult to find a partner after you get divorced. Second-hand is never as easy to sell as first-hand." Mother Mu realized that she had used the wrong words.

She added, "Mom isn't saying you're a commodity. Mom isn't very educated and can't speak well, but that's the meaning. Remember what Mom said."

Also, you absolutely must not actually sleep with him.

"I got it, Mom."

Mu Mian hung up the phone.

She returned to the living room.

Gu Xiangque was still working on the sofa.

He crossed his legs, with his laptop on them.

From Mu Mian's perspective, he is a workaholic who loves his job. He lives his life earnestly to pay his monthly mortgage, which is actually quite good.

"The reason why I didn't tell my family about our marriage certificate is actually..." Mu Mian wanted to explain.

Since they were living under the same roof, she hoped that she and Gu Xiangque could be honest with each other and avoid misunderstandings, so that everyone would be more comfortable.
