She went to the wrong table on a blind date and ended up getting married to a billionaire CEO.

At 9:30 p.m., Gu Tingyu had just finished his work when he heard the sound of a car.

Through the large floor-to-ceiling windows on the third floor, I saw Su Maiqi walking from the yard into the house.

She had her hair down, wore a black coat, and her dress was also black, making her look much thinner.

A cold wind blew through her hair, giving her a sense of loneliness.

Gu Tingyu didn't know why, but he always felt a pang of heartache for this woman.

Although his powerfully logical mind told him that since he had married her, if he wanted to play this role well, he had to truly act as a "husband".

We must not let others see through our disguise.

But when he did those things, those feelings were so real.

I genuinely feel sorry for her and sincerely want to take care of her and protect her.

Gu Tingyu had never felt this way about any other woman.

If I had to choose one, it would be the little girl I met at the hospital when I was 9 years old.

They shared a hospital room. The little girl looked like a porcelain doll, but she was incredibly stubborn and never cried when getting injections.

Seeing her wince in pain but resolutely refuse to cry, Gu Tingyu's heart inexplicably softened.

The little girl was only three or four years old. Her nickname was Tangtang. She loved durian, so Gu Tingyu prepared durian candy for her.

After each injection, he would give the little girl a durian candy and tease her, "Candy, if you cry next time you get a shot, I'll give you all the remaining candy at once."

"Don't cry, Tangtang. Daddy says Tangtang is the bravest."

He would also rub Gu Tingyu's skin after he got his injection: "Brother is very brave. Don't cry, brother. Tangtang will rub it and it won't hurt anymore."

The boy next to her joked that Tangtang looked like a young wife.

She was so angry that she chased the boy all over the house.

Gu Tingyu thought that it wouldn't be bad to marry a wife like that in the future—beautiful and not spoiled.

When she acts cute, it melts your heart.

So many years have passed, I wonder what the little girl looks like now, whether she has married someone and become a wife.

Gu Tingyu didn't know why he still often thought of that little girl.

That was probably the last warm and beautiful memory of the first nine years of his life.

Not long after he was discharged from the hospital, his father passed away, and from then on, he had a different life.

If his father hadn't left, perhaps he really would have gotten married, and maybe he would have married such a sweet yet stubborn girl.

She will have a son and a daughter. He will protect and care for them.

Now, all he needs is a "contract wife" to help him get what he wants.

Of course, during the "contract" period, he will also be a "good" husband.

As he thought this, a hint of ruthlessness appeared on his face.

Those who bully his "wife" will not have a good ending.

That shrew Chen Shufen bullied his wife's sister for so many years and indirectly caused his mother-in-law's death.

How could he possibly make her feel at ease?

He's no saint; this revenge must be taken. No one is allowed to bully Gu Tingyu's woman, even if she's only in name!

Moreover, that old woman wasn't a good person either.

He's full of cunning schemes and scheming.

Making her move out of the house today is just the beginning of the real show.

Gu Tingyu went to the practice room on the second floor and practiced Tai Chi for a while. He was tired after a long day and wanted to relax so he could sleep better.

When Su Maiqi came out of the master bedroom, she bumped into Gu Tingyu coming out of the practice room.

She felt restless and couldn't sleep, so she wanted to go out into the yard for some fresh air.

Upon seeing Gu Tingyu dressed in a white cotton-linen Tai Chi uniform, Su Maiqi was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

This was not the Gu Tingyu she knew. Most of the time, he was serious, making people feel distant and unapproachable; one could even feel threatened by his aggression at any moment.

Later, when he came to see his mother in casual clothes, he dressed like a sunny young man.

Today, he was dressed in a white cotton and linen Tai Chi uniform. The simple lines and soft texture, along with the gentle lighting, all exuded a tranquil and unrestrained temperament.

He is quite tall and well-proportioned; neither overly muscular nor too thin. Wearing this Tai Chi uniform, he really has a "refined and otherworldly" air about him.

Her overall demeanor softened considerably, yet her upright posture and steady gait still conveyed a sense of strength. The gently swaying hem of her dress added a touch of elegance.

The next second, she instinctively put her hand in front of her chest.

Gu Tingyu usually lives on the third floor and doesn't come down at night; Zhang Ma lives in the maid's room on the first floor, and she is the only one on the entire second floor.

So I didn't change my clothes when I came out.

The white cotton and linen long nightgown wasn't revealing at all; it had an off-the-shoulder design and the chest was quite open, so you could vaguely see the shoulders.

The worst part is, she wasn't wearing a bra.

Although the clothes were loose, Su Maiqi had an E-cup, and she was afraid that the bulge in her chest would reveal that she wasn't wearing a bra.

Moreover, she usually deliberately chooses bras with small bust sizes to match her clothes.

Appearing before her "contract husband" with such a raw chest, she felt inexplicably nervous.

Fortunately, Gu Tingyu didn't look at her much.

She turned to the side and said, "Don't go live in Mai Rou's house anymore. I have a vacant house nearby; she and Duo Duo can move there first. We can consider renting out that house, or selling it and buying another one, to avoid this trouble."

Su Maiqi said sincerely, "Thank you so much. You've helped me a lot lately. I was also thinking of letting my sister stop living there, since I was looking for a place to live anyway. Since there's a place available, I might as well pay you the rent."

How much did you originally plan to spend on rent?

"Around 2000."

“Okay, then let’s rent it to my sister for 1800. I’ll have Mo Yan take you to see the house tomorrow.”

After he finished speaking, he went straight upstairs without waiting for Su Maiqi's reply.

Gu Tingyu sensed her nervousness and didn't want to embarrass her.

Especially tonight, she looked a bit haggard and frail.

In less than half a month, I've probably lost about ten pounds.

Thinking of this, Gu Tingyu suddenly recalled how Su Maiqi had subconsciously covered her chest just now, and couldn't help but find it a little funny.

He actually saw everything, but he never expected that she was so well-endowed.

You really can't tell when someone wears casual clothes.

But there's no need to be so wary of him, making yourself look like a thug.

Gu Tingyu always keeps his word; once the contract is signed, he won't do anything to her.

Seeing Gu Tingyu go upstairs, Su Maiqi lost all interest in going out for a walk.

She turned and went back to the bedroom, standing in front of the full-length mirror. She had originally wanted to see if the dress was really too revealing.

But then she saw two blushes on her own face, which made her even more embarrassed.

Fortunately, Gu Tingyu didn't look at him.

He was good to her, but Su Maiqi constantly reminded herself that a trade is a trade.

You haven't even received the money yet, and you've already gotten yourself into trouble. It's not worth it.

Coveting what doesn't belong to you will come at a greater price.

She, Su Maiqi, didn't want to one day become a lowly, abandoned person.
