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

Gu Tingyu followed Su Maiqi back to the bedroom.

The villa was quiet late at night, with only the moonlight filtering through the gauze curtains and casting a soft silver glow on the bedroom.

The soft bedside lamp bathed the entire room in a warm glow, and the air was filled with a faint rose fragrance.

This is a flavor that Su Maqi has been liking lately.

Since the car accident, she has developed a particular fondness for decorating everything in her home.

From the selection of aromatherapy products to the matching of bedding, everything reflects a tranquil and elegant lifestyle.

Sometimes, when Gu Tingyu looks at these details, he feels as if this home has truly become a warm harbor.

At this moment, Su Maiqi was sitting on the edge of the bed, her silk nightgown outlining her slender figure.

She lowered her head, her long, soft hair falling smoothly down, covering half of her face.

But Gu Tingyu still noticed the faint worry between her brows.

“Honey,” she said softly, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her nightgown—a habit she had when she was restless—“I saw some strange news online today.”

Gu Tingyu sat down beside her and reached out to take her restless fingers in his hand:

What did you see that made you unhappy?

“Some people say our marriage is a contract,” she looked up, her eyes filled with confusion, “that I only agreed to marry you because my mother is sick. They also say I didn’t originally like you…”

Her voice grew softer and softer, until it was almost a murmur:

"But why can't I remember anything? I clearly feel that I've liked you from the very beginning."

Gu Tingyu's heart tightened. It seemed that Shen Qingge had taken Shen Qingge's words at the birthday banquet to heart, which was why she went online to check them.

He looked into Su Maqi's eyes, which were filled with unease.

Gu Tingyu wanted to tell her the truth and reveal the real reason for their contractual marriage.

But when he met those clear eyes, saw the unease within them, and felt her unconditional trust, he simply couldn't bring himself to say those words.

Since losing her memory, she has completely regarded him as her closest person, clinging to him like a little girl, as if she were certain that they were a truly loving couple.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally reached out and pulled her into his arms:

"Don't overthink it, ignore the messages online. The most important thing right now is to get well; nothing else matters."

"Really?" Su Maiqi leaned against his chest, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

"But I'm still very troubled. Those people talked about it in such detail, they even knew about my mother's illness."

Do they know something I don't?

Moonlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, adding to the fragility of her already pale face.

Gu Tingyu felt a pang of pain in his heart, and his arms involuntarily tightened:

"Chenxing and Shen's Jewelry are competitors. Shen Qingge has used online public opinion to try to undermine Chenxing before."

The current hype surrounding this news is also driven by commercial motives.

He lowered his head and kissed the top of her head. "You used to handle all these things."

Shen Qingge has plotted several times, and you have cleverly thwarted them each time.

You need to take good care of your health. Once you regain your memory, you'll be able to better handle all this messy information online.

Put everything else aside now, your health is the most important thing, go to sleep.

“You’re right,” Su Maiqi snuggled gently against him, as if seeking reassurance. “Your health is the most important thing. Brother Xiao’s acupuncture has been quite effective lately. My headaches aren’t so bad anymore, and I believe my memory will gradually return.”

Gu Tingyu stroked her long hair and watched her slowly close her eyes.

Soon, her breathing became long and steady, and she had clearly fallen asleep.

He gazed quietly at her sleeping face. The moonlight bathed her profile in a soft, silvery glow, and her long eyelashes cast faint shadows on her face.

She looked so serene and beautiful, yet so fragile that it broke your heart.

After confirming that she was sound asleep, Gu Tingyu carefully released her hand and sat up. He took out his phone to check an investigation report that Mo Yan had just sent him.

This report details Shen Qingge's recent movements.

After reading it, a cold glint flashed in Gu Tingyu's eyes.

This woman became even more focused on her career after marriage.

She not only secretly became a major shareholder of Yu Linglong, but also personally participated in the live-streaming operations. This identity was kept secret not only from Shen's Jewelry, but also from her husband, Haize.

It seems that Shen Qingge is also an ambitious woman with her own little schemes.

She's also been working hard to improve the relationship between Su Wanyu and Haiyang. She seems very interested in the supply of raw stones from upstream.

Mo Yan also discovered that she had contacted many mining areas and conducted various investigations.

She seemed particularly interested in certain rare minerals, frequently sending people to investigate and trying to find out inside information through various channels.

Gu Tingyu sneered.

Shen Qingge's move was truly ruthless, utilizing the resources of her maternal and paternal families to secretly orchestrate a plan.

She wants to build a business empire that is entirely her own.

Where there is desire, there are loopholes.

Gu Tingyu sneered. Since the other party had such a big appetite, he could set up an even bigger scheme to make her pay the price.

Gu Tingyu thought of Shen's Jewelry stock information and Haiyang's mining area.

A plan was quietly brewing in his mind.

He got up quietly and went to the study.

Although it was late at night, these two single night owls probably hadn't gone to sleep yet.

Sure enough, the video call connected quickly.

Before we knew it, we had been chatting for an hour.

Gu Tingyu was completely satisfied. These two brothers were reliable; they could perfectly turn his ideas into actionable steps.

He'd weave a large net, ensuring those who schemed against him ultimately paid the price. And incidentally, he could also scale up his brothers' businesses – a perfect solution.

When I returned to the bedroom, Su Maiqi was still fast asleep, with a serene smile on her face.

Gu Tingyu lay down beside her and pulled her into his arms.

She snuggled closer to him in her sleep, as if she had finally found the safest haven.

This moment of tenderness strengthened Gu Tingyu's resolve.

Those who hurt her will not get away with it.

Since Shen Qingge is so eager to get his attention, he'll play along and have a good time with her.

This time, however, he sets the rules of the game.

If Shen's Jewelry runs into trouble, Chenxing will have one less competitor.

Aunt Shen Wanjun will also be drawn into the attention, isn't that just the right opportunity for Gu Tingyu?

The night outside the window grew deeper, while the neon lights in the distance continued to flicker.

The city was still bustling, but this room was completely quiet.

Gu Tingyu closed his eyes, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.

He never intended to scheme against anyone, but alas, the tree may wish to remain still, but the wind will not cease.

Only by becoming strong, capable of retaliating, and manipulating the opponent can one be safe.

Otherwise, they might die with their eyes wide open, just like their father.
