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

Su Maiqi didn't stand on ceremony. She walked over, reached out, opened the breakfast bag, and took out each item one by one, arranging them neatly.

Meanwhile, Gu Tingyu also shut down his laptop and packed it into his laptop bag.

The two ate in silence, without exchanging a single word.

Su Maiqi finished eating first, and she waited quietly for Gu Tingyu to put down his chopsticks before speaking, "It's Friday today, and I'd like to invite my sister and Duoduo to our new house tonight. It's our first time visiting, would it be convenient for you to have dinner with us?"

"Sure, I'll pick you up after get off work. I can have Aunt Zhang come over early to prepare dinner so we can eat as soon as we get back."

His face remained expressionless. Su Maiqi, however, breathed a sigh of relief. She knew her sister actually had many worries about her marriage.

Gu Tingyu's conditions were too good, and he suddenly got married when his mother was seriously ill. His sister had too many questions in her heart.

When their mother passed away, Gu Tingyu was busy taking care of everything, and Lin Jinyu also attended the mother's funeral. The older sister seemed much more relaxed.

But often, her hesitant demeanor still made Su Maiqi feel uneasy. She even secretly probed, "Are you still planning to have a wedding? When will you have the wedding?"

"Before, Mom was seriously ill and it was inconvenient for her to meet. Did Gu Tingyu mention arranging for both sets of parents to meet once Mom recovered?"

She knew her sister was worried about her, afraid that she would be looked down upon or taken advantage of if she married into a wealthy family. Whether it was a meeting with the parents or the wedding arrangements, it all signified respect, approval, and recognition.

My sister wants to be happy. She is the only person in the world who truly cares about her feelings and happiness.

She originally wanted to tell her sister the whole truth. But she didn't want to make her sister worry even more.

My mother is gone, and my sister is divorced. What will my sister think if she knew that I'm now deeply involved in such complicated transactions?

Su Maiqi understands her sister; she wouldn't care about the 5000 million compared to her own happiness.

So she decided to keep this secret to herself. Even if they divorced three years later, she could easily find a reason, like being unable to have children or get pregnant. After all, wealthy families need heirs.

She didn't intend to let her sister know that the marriage itself was a transaction.

Anyway, she and Gu Tingyu are now sharing a bed, and Gu Tingyu will cooperate with the usual things in a normal marriage, such as the appearances she needs.

Then let your sister not worry about you. Having finally escaped from the cage, Su Maiqi hopes that her sister won't have so many worries and can focus all her energy on herself and Duoduo.

It's possible to have a fresh start.

Although Gu Tingyu is usually serious and cold-faced, he is still very reliable and never lets you down when it matters.

Thinking this way, Su Maiqi felt her heart soften. She looked sincerely into his eyes and said, "Okay, thank you. I'll wait for you to come back together after get off work."

Her misty eyes and sincere gaze caused Gu Tingyu a pang of heartache. He knew what she was thinking: she wanted to reassure her sister and didn't want her family to know that this was a transaction.

He was willing to oblige her, and besides, he also hoped to make the performance even more convincing. It only becomes real when everyone is fully immersed in their roles, doesn't it?

This is so that his plan can proceed smoothly.

No, his plan was further strengthened. When they got their marriage certificate, he already knew that Su Maiqi was an employee of Chenxing and had a good reputation, so he didn't pay too much attention to it.

Unexpectedly, when I saw her design drafts in person, I found them to be full of inspiration and capable of touching the soul.

Then came the Shen plagiarism incident, after which she became the design department manager.

He agreed to and approved of this matter. It wasn't just to take care of her; after all, this was a company he had poured his heart and soul into, and an important asset in his future plans, so he had to be cautious.

He agreed to let her take over as design department manager, and finally approved her new proposal. It was Gu Tingyu who discovered her ability; she was almost a born designer, full of artistic intuition and precise artistic expression.

What's even more remarkable is that she's not only a natural-born designer, but also has a keen eye for the market and marketing.

This woman was destined to be his best ally on his path of revenge.

Of course, he wanted to make the goals and interests of his comrades more aligned.

“We’ll be staying here on weekdays from now on. Do you think we should let Aunt Zhang come and stay too, so she can help with the household chores?”

Su Maiqi thought for a minute. She wasn't actually used to having other people in the house. Even in a three-story house, not being on the same floor, having more people in the house made her feel less comfortable.

Now that she's moved here, when Gu Tingyu isn't around, she's home alone and can completely relax; she can curl up in a corner and draw wherever she wants, or lie down on the sofa and sleep when she's tired.

I might occasionally hear a piece of music and spontaneously start dancing.

It allows my sister and Duoduo to come to our house anytime, freely and without worry.

Although Zhang Ma was a nice person, efficient, and kind to her, she still felt uncomfortable. Moreover, Zhang Ma had raised Gu Tingyu since he was a child and was familiar with her mother-in-law and the rest of the Gu family.

Su Maiqi knew that the nannies in such families were not simple people, and she didn't want any unexpected problems to arise.

Finally, she spoke up, saying, "I'm not used to having people at home. Otherwise, I'll make breakfast from now on. If you're coming back for dinner, just tell Zhang Ma to come and make dinner in advance. If you're not coming back, I'll just eat at my sister's house."

This woman actually wanted to make him breakfast. Gu Tingyu was stunned for a few seconds.

Considering that she was also not used to having an aunt take care of her daily life, she did not object: "That's fine too. I won't come back for meals every day. If Aunt Zhang only comes to cook dinner, it won't be too much trouble. She lives in the villa, so she can take care of things in time if anything happens."

"Then you should arrange for a part-time cleaner to come and clean the house once a day."

"Okay, I'm off to work now."

At six o'clock in the evening, downstairs at Chenxing Company, Gu Tingyu had just parked his car across the street when he saw Su Maiqi walking out of Chenxing.

Looking around on the side of the road, he waved to his car and stood at the front of the zebra crossing, waiting for the red light to turn green before crossing the road to find Gu Tingyu.

Just as the light changed, the phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was her sister calling, Su Maiqi stopped and pressed the answer button.

"Auntie, how much longer until you come back?" Duoduo's sweet voice came through the receiver.

At the same time, a woman's piercing scream rang out, followed by the sound of the car screeching to a halt.

Su Maiqi felt a gust of wind blow past her and instinctively looked up. Under the cab of a red truck lay a woman, lying in a pool of blood, with blood still gushing from her head.

The woman twitched once, and then remained motionless.

Su Maiqi felt her blood freeze instantly, and she stood there, stunned...
