"So why did you call me here?" Xu Yan's attitude remained icy.

"I will proceed with the marriage as promised," Gu Nianci said to Xu Yan. "As we agreed before, I will not make any further changes."

"There's one thing I hope you can promise me."

"Just consider it a favor to me."

"What is it?" Xu Yan frowned slightly. "You should know that you can't make the decision about our marriage. Even if you don't want to, we are bound to get married."

Even if you don't feel the same way about me as before, that doesn't change the fact.

"Therefore, you can't use this as a condition to get me to do anything for you."

Gu Nianci didn't seem surprised by Xu Yan's words. After a moment of silence, she looked directly at Xu Yan and said, "What you said is true, but without me, it won't be easy for you to inherit the Xu family business. You know that better than anyone else."

“Your father’s choice is not only you, and Xu Yao doesn’t really love you, his younger brother, that much.”

"So what?" Xu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.

“If you agree to this condition, I will help you as much as possible after the marriage. After you get the Xu family’s assets, we will do what we need to do.” Gu Nianci said calmly, “You know very well that during the years you have been abroad, my love for you is gone, and all that is left between us is interests.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan immediately burst into laughter.

"Gu Nianci, you're really being direct these days."

"Aren't you afraid I'll change my mind if you get so direct?"

“You won’t.” Gu Nianci shook her head.

"Okay, tell me what you want me to do." Xu Yan shrugged.

Gu Nianci glanced at my urn. "The development of Sunshine Park won't benefit you. I don't know why you took over that project in the first place, but I think you probably didn't really want to continue it."

"In that case, give me the Sunshine Park project."

"For him?" Xu Yan stared at my urn; clearly, he wasn't stupid.

Gu Nianci nodded slightly.

"For a dead man?" Xu Yan suddenly laughed. "Gu Nianci, what on earth are you thinking?"

Even if we no longer have feelings for each other, and our marriage is based on mutual benefit, I think you wouldn't want me, as your wife, to be thinking about other men after we're married, would you?

"If you promise me this, I will let it go completely afterward. I will no longer dwell on who he is, and I will even completely erase any trace of him."

As Gu Nianci spoke, she threw all the uncollected origami cranes into the trash can.

Seeing this, I was stunned for a moment, and then I laughed.

"Gu Nianci should have done this a long time ago."

Xu Yan laughed at this moment. He walked up to Gu Nianci, lifted her chin and said, "Gu Nianci, sometimes I wonder what made you so profit-driven."

"One second you were all pleading and wailing over the so-called truth, over a man you didn't even know, and now you can make this deal with me so calmly."

“Gu Nianci…”

"Is there really no love in your eyes?"

“After you went abroad, I went through a lot of things, and every single one of them told me that I didn’t deserve to have feelings.” Gu Nianci said calmly, “I admit that I did lose my composure before, and I don’t know why I cared so much about who that person was.”

"But that doesn't matter anymore."

Xu Yan glanced at Gu Nianci again and then smiled.

"Okay, I promise you."

"Sunshine Park is yours!"

As he spoke, he looked at my urn again, "Do you need my help?"

"I don't know why, but I really hate this name."

"No need," Gu Nianci shook her head. "I can do it myself."
