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

The moment this thought popped into Gu Tingyu's head, he felt as if a spot in his brain had suddenly lit up.

His lips couldn't help but curl up into a smile.

I originally wanted to share this idea with Su Maiqi quietly, but I quickly stopped myself from doing so.

Based on Gu Tingyu's understanding of Mo Yan, this kid probably doesn't even know what he's thinking right now.

Having just escaped an unhappy marriage, Su Mairou may not be ready to enter into a new relationship.

Neither of them were young people bursting with hormones and constantly looking for romantic opportunities.

Instead, each has its own traumas and its own cautiousness.

Once you start thinking, all sorts of weighings and worries will emerge, and you might scare yourself into retreating even when nothing has actually happened.

It would be better to observe secretly and give it a little push. Once the feelings have quietly grown to a certain point, there will be a good show to watch.

Mo Yan is his brother. For so many years, he has lived in this world like an orphan. Of course, Gu Tingyu hopes that he can be happy, have his own home again, and live a warmer and more secure life.

But after all these years, he seems like a cold stone, heartless, and no woman can win his heart.

Sometimes Gu Tingyu could understand him, just like himself. He had too much pain and fear in his heart, and he had his own persistent goals, so he dared not fall in love easily.

I'm afraid of causing trouble for others, and I'm afraid of not being able to protect my loved ones and the home I dream of.

Fear and avoidance are actually caused by caring and desire.

Because I so desperately want a warm haven and a beautiful relationship, and because this matter is of great significance to me, I am afraid to touch it, fearing that something might go wrong.

Therefore, Gu Tingyu himself chose a "contract marriage" that made him feel safer, with boundaries, a sense of proportion, and a way to avoid losing his composure.

However, Gu Tingyu hoped that Mo Yan could break free from this curse and have a relationship that she truly desired.

Because he knew better than anyone how much Mo Yan longed for this.

So when he saw Mo Yan's unusual behavior, his "first love" look, he was actually very happy and a little curious.

Gu Tingyu did not think that Su Mailou was unworthy of Mo Yan because she was divorced and had a child.

During this period, because of Su Maiqi, he also had many opportunities to interact with Su Mairou.

Gu Tingyu felt that Su Mairou possessed a gentle maternal instinct and a calming power; Su Maiqi was also very calm and had a stable inner self.

But the two are different. Su Maqi is somewhat cold and hard at heart. Her calmness is closer to a man's composure in the face of adversity, a kind of powerful control.

Su Mairou's tranquility is filled with more gentleness, like water, like the sea, or like a woman's womb—warm and inclusive.

It is like the ocean embracing all rivers.

It is capable of supporting everything.

Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. This woman possesses a gentle yet resolute strength.

Divorce, resignation, starting a business—she made all her own decisions without hesitation.

Once you've thought it through, just do it; don't waste time internally.

For this reason alone, Gu Tingyu admired Su Mairou.

Regardless of what happens between him and Su Maiqi in the future, if Mo Yan can be happy with Su Mailou, he will wholeheartedly support it.

Thinking of this, she added fuel to the fire: "Sister's cooking is so good, and she knows about nutrition; if you recover quickly, you must thank her properly when you are discharged from the hospital."

"Of course," Mo Yan readily agreed.

"Don't mention it. My sister has been saying that you've helped her a lot, Mo Yan. Now I finally have a chance to thank you," Su Maiqi said sincerely.

Mo Yan seemed to suddenly remember something: "Oh right, the seven days are almost up. After the New Year, Sister will be setting up her stall, right? How have the products been selling during this time with the outsourced stall?"

"My sister isn't planning to set up her stall anymore. Lately, her online store has been doing well, and sales are pretty good."

"Wow, it's only been a few days! Your sister is amazing," Mo Yan said sincerely.

When Su Maiqi and her sister asked him to help discuss the plan, they said it was for product consignment and they would talk about it after the New Year. He thought it would be school break and Su Mailou would be spending time with her child, and he never expected her to start an online store so soon.

However, it wasn't entirely unexpected.

Su Mairou may look gentle and weak, but she is actually very opinionated, a fact he had already witnessed.

Moreover, the handicrafts she makes are indeed very exquisite, and with the right channels, it's inevitable that they will sell well.

Su Maiqi continued, "After the online store started selling, my sister and the couple at the market did not follow the original agreement. Instead, they gave each other 70% of the profits, essentially selling it at the wholesale price."

The couple was very happy and highly motivated. After selling out their original product lines, they didn't restock and now specialize in copper wire crafts.

Mo Yan hadn't expected this. The original agreement was that the couple would settle accounts with Su Mailou based on 70% of the sales revenue; however, Su Mailou reversed the arrangement and gave the other party 70%.

I take 30%, which is the cost price, plus a little profit.

That's really bold.

Although I lost a little money temporarily, it's like opening up a long-term way to make money, and I don't have to set up a stall myself anymore.

That's truly impressive, and the vision is incredibly far-sighted.

Mo Yan mentally gave Su Mailou several thumbs up and sincerely said, "Your sister's business will definitely succeed. She has great wisdom and talent. And she's so skillful with her hands. No one can resist the handicrafts she designs and makes."

Su Maiqi didn't think too much about it. In her heart, her sister was just as good. She completely agreed. She was also very happy that someone could recognize her sister's goodness.

"Yes, my sister has always been very capable. It's just that in recent years, she's been busy taking care of the children at home and hasn't been able to focus on herself. Now it's different; she's unleashing all her potential. If she heard Mr. Mo say that, she would definitely be very happy."

After finishing her speech and breakfast, Su Maiqi prepared to return to the company.

Today is the last working day. We still need to double-check the details and progress of all tasks, the holiday duty schedule, and the responsible persons.

After all, she is in charge of this new product launch project, and now she has publicly revealed her title as "President's Wife"; this first battle must be won without fail.

The title of "CEO's wife" naturally gave her many advantages, but there were also many envious people waiting to see her make a fool of herself.

Su Maiqi didn't want those people to get their way.

There's another thing. She'll be spending New Year's Eve at the Gu family's house, and she needs to prepare in advance. It's a big day, and she, as their "contract wife," can't afford to make any mistakes.

She glanced at Gu Tingyu's dark circles and said, "If you haven't rested well, you can go back and catch up on your sleep today. Tomorrow, when we go back to the old house, see if there's anything else you need to prepare, and you can leave it to me."
