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

Hearing Su Maiqi say that, Gu Tingyu felt a warm current flow into his heart.

For a moment, it was as if he had the illusion that he and Su Maiqi were just an ordinary couple, caring for and understanding each other.

During holidays and festivals, his wife would also take care of him and the household affairs, integrating herself into his extended family.

Thinking of this, I instantly sobered up.

What kind of harmonious and happy extended family does the Gu family need to integrate into?

Every gathering is a battlefield rife with undercurrents; you're lucky if you don't get stabbed in the back.

His eyes turned cold as he said, "There's no need to prepare anything. Just finish your get off work early today and get some rest."

Her words sounded caring, but looking at Gu Tingyu's expression, Su Maiqi inexplicably felt that her good intentions had been taken for granted.

She discovered that she could fully utilize her abilities in this job at the company, and Gu Tingyu had no objections as long as she was able to generate profits for the company.

On many occasions, he even directly expressed his appreciation for her work ability.

But in this "contract marriage," Gu Tingyu seems to only need her cooperation in his role as "wife." Everything is arranged; all he needs to do is inform her to attend.

If I hadn't seen how stressed and exhausted Gu Tingyu was lately, I wouldn't have bothered worrying about his family.

There's no need to proactively improve performance in this "wife" job.

Judging from Gu Tingyu's expression, he probably misunderstood her.

Does he think that I'm reluctant to give up this wealth and status, and that I really want to be his wife, which is why I'm worried about these things?

So you're putting on a cold and serious act, trying to distance yourself from me?

Thinking of this, she coldly replied, "Okay, Mr. Gu."

Anyway, the caregivers here didn't know their identities, and Mo Yan was someone who knew the inside story and knew that they were a contractual couple.

There's no need to shy away from it or act out a story.

She didn't care about his wealth and status. She was a free spirit by nature and had no interest in marriage. After witnessing firsthand the cold-bloodedness and struggles of the wealthy, and seeing how tiring Gu Tingyu's life was, she was even less likely to be interested.

I should just finish this job properly and get that sum of money that will be enough to support my freedom for the rest of my life.

After saying that, she took her things and went out.

Mo Yan, however, seemed quite interested in what he saw; something seemed off about these two.

One person tells the other to go home and catch up on sleep, while the other tells the other to go home early after get off work to rest.

They were clearly showing concern, but the atmosphere was definitely strange.

Mo Yan understood the Gu family's situation and knew that this year's Spring Festival would be another tough battle. He guessed that Gu Tingyu's tone and expression were caused by his family's situation.

But Su Maiqi seemed inexplicably angry. That one word, "President Gu," meant she was going to draw a clear line tomorrow.

Last time, when Gu Tingyu came to his house late at night, looking like a frozen bear, Mo Yan also felt something was wrong.

It seems these two might have fallen for each other without realizing it. Mo Yan is inexplicably a little excited; this is going to be interesting.

In recent years, Mo Yan has been studying and cultivating his mind.

One idea that really struck him was that "the universe never makes a mistake."

What each person experiences in their life is actually a script they chose before they were born, a way to experience this human game.

The biggest difference in this game is that once you choose a script, your memory will be wiped clean, and you'll forget everything.

This is how you can truly immerse yourself in the game.

The ultimate goal of the game is to upgrade yourself. Therefore, all the game levels are chosen by you, and each level presents a different challenge.

If you pass the level and complete this task, it means you have advanced to the next level.

So whatever you encounter is actually what you chose; even disasters and extremely painful things will actually bring you a great gift, which is to help you pass a specific life lesson.

Therefore, the "universe" never makes a mistake if a person can surrender, accept, and embrace all that they encounter in the present moment.

Ask yourself, what lessons do I need to learn to go through these things?

Facing your challenges head-on, experiencing them, learning from them, and improving yourself is the fastest way to overcome them.

At that moment, Mo Yan completely believed this view.

Otherwise, how could it be so amazing?

She had gone to great lengths to find Su Wanyu for Gu Tingyu.

But on the very day they were to meet, Su Wanyu was inexplicably in a car accident. And Su Maiqi's blind date also happened to be late.

These two people, by such a twist of fate, actually got married, and the usually cautious Gu Tingyu was actually willing to go along with the mistake.

Over the past six months, the two have worked together very well.

Not only in terms of marital status, but also in successfully achieving goals at home.

Moreover, Su Maiqi is also a dark horse in her career, getting promoted and helping Chenxing enter a new stage.

The way the two of them are acting now seems strange; there might be something going on.

Mo Yan suddenly seemed a little gloating, whereas President Gu was always calm, restrained, and extremely methodical in his work.

He may appear cold and ruthless, but he is actually very sentimental at heart.

Otherwise, why would they come up with such a bizarre idea as "contractual marriage"?

Actually, it's not that I'm afraid to start a relationship or get married easily. Because I know my family situation and how difficult, even dangerous, it is to be my wife.

So I simply try not to get emotionally involved and not to drag innocent people into it.

But ironically, he fell in love with the "contract marriage" he had painstakingly arranged. This made things even more complicated and the difficulty skyrocketed.

Mo Yan watched with great interest as these two "clearly defined" people used "drawing clear boundaries" to defend their inner feelings.

The person involved may not be aware of it.

At that moment, Mo Yan experienced what it means to be a "bystander with a clearer perspective".

He actually believed that his friend was capable of protecting his family and loved ones, and of getting back what was rightfully his in Gujia.

This was also what he had been hoping for: for Gu Tingyu to get what he wanted.

That day will also be the day I get my revenge.

That day will surely be a happy one.

If, during this process, there's also the opportunity to watch Gu Tingyu's misfortune unfold, to see how he ends up shooting himself in the foot, how he slaps himself in the face, and how he falls in love with someone he "shouldn't love," wouldn't that be even more interesting?

The process will also be enjoyable.

As soon as Su Maiqi stepped out, Gu Tingyu made a phone call, arranging New Year's gifts. He prepared three sets: one to take to the Gu family's old house tomorrow, one for his mother, and one for Su Mairou.

It was Su Jie's first New Year after her divorce, and her mother had also passed away. Su Maiqi still had to accompany her back to the old house. As a widow and her child, they needed to at least have a full set of New Year's goods.

He also gave instructions on what clothes Gu Tingyu should wear tomorrow. Gu Tingyu has his own personal designer, and the outfit for this year's New Year was designed and prepared in advance.

The clothes Su Maiqi wore when visiting the Gu family and attending events were all recommended and prepared by this designer. Knowing Mrs. Gu's style and size well, Gu Tingyu felt quite reassured.
