Chapter 13: You Want to Marry Me?

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

As soon as Lin Wei entered the reception room, she saw a burly man stand up.

The man was wearing a black shirt but no tie.

He exuded an aloofness that kept people at arm's length.

Lin Wei knew him; he was Gu Jingcheng's personal secretary and bodyguard, a trained fighter who had been with Gu Jingcheng for a long time.

"Assistant Qiu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Chen Nian brought over two cups of coffee, glanced at Qiu Cheng, and then pushed open the door and left.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Gu asked me to give you this. He wants to discuss the details of the agreement in person."

Lin Wei took the chip licensing agreement and wrote only a few open-ended clauses; the rest were blank.

But this is enough to show the attitude of Jingcheng Group.

Lin Wei's impression of Gu Jingcheng gradually changed.

It seems that apart from the incident where he stood her up at the marriage registration hall, he had kept all the promises he made to her.

"Okay, I'll schedule another time with Mr. Gu."

Qiu Cheng remained seated, and Lin Wei could see his predicament.

He put down the cup and slowly opened his mouth.

"Does your CEO, Mr. Gu, want me to talk to him now?"

Qiu Cheng raised his head, a hint of embarrassment at being seen through showing on his face, but more so a sense of relief and composure.

"Mr. Gu really wants to talk now."

Qiu Cheng added sincerely, "President Gu said that he hopes to discuss the specific details of the agreement with you in person, as it would be more efficient."

Lin Wei didn't say much, and quickly tucked the agreement into a hard folder next to her.

Then, she stood up and picked up the cup of coffee on the table that she had only taken a small sip of.

"Let's go now."

The vehicle was driving on the roads of Jiangcheng.

About 20 minutes later, the black Rolls-Royce came to a smooth stop in front of the Jingcheng Group building.

Lin Wei got out of the car with the documents and went up to the 28th floor with Qiu Cheng.

The president's office of Jingcheng Group is very empty. It is a real waste to leave such a large office area unused.

"Don't run, I'm going to catch you!" A cute but fierce voice rang out.

A small brown ball rolled to Lin Wei's feet, with a small yellow dog printed on it.

The puppy had a pair of wings. Lin Wei had never seen such a cartoon character before, but it was quite interesting.

"Pretty sister, can you help me catch it?"

A chubby little boy with a round face and two bright black eyes ran from around the corner.

Lovely.

Lin Wei was momentarily dazed. If her child were still alive, would he be just as adorable?

Is this your ball?

Lin Wei noticed that when she spoke to the little boy, she unconsciously lowered her voice slightly.

She picked up the ball from the ground and handed it to him with a smile.

The boy held out his chubby little hand and took it, saying, "Thank you, big sister."

"Sister, you're so beautiful! I've never seen you before!"

Lin Wei was amused by the little boy's nonsensical question, but she didn't remember Gu Jingcheng having a child.

Who is this little boy?

"This is my first time here. What's your name?"

"My full name is Gu Yinuo, and my nickname is Nuonuo. What's your older sister's name? What's her nickname?"

"Um... my name is Lin Wei, I don't have a nickname."

Lin Wei reached out and couldn't resist pinching his chubby little face.

The boy rested his thumb and forefinger on his chin, as if deep in thought.

"How about I give the pretty lady a nickname, a nickname that only the pretty lady and I know?"

Lin Wei was amused by his cute expression.

"Nono."

Gu Jingcheng came out of the president's office and waved to the boy.

Lin Wei looked up and saw that the man was wearing a well-tailored dark suit.

His silver-gray tie fluttered in the wind, reflecting his cold eyes.

The neckline was slightly open, revealing delicate collarbones and the faint outline of chest muscles.

Lin Wei felt inexplicably nervous and stood still.

The little boy skipped and hopped towards him.

"Uncle, there's a very beautiful older sister over there, as beautiful as a fairy!"

Gu Jingcheng raised an eyebrow. Sister? Does he and Lin Wei look like they're from different generations?

"Nono, have you finished your summer homework? If you do, your uncle will buy you a few more."

Gu Yinuo pouted and snorted before running into the office.

It turns out he is the son of Gu Jingcheng's sister, Gu Qingwan.

Lin Wei didn't know much about Gu Jingcheng's family relationships, only that he had an older sister and an older brother, as told by Gu Xuan.

The eldest brother was Gu Xuan's father, who died a few years ago.

Gu Qingwan, following her family's arrangement, married into a well-matched business family.

I heard that she was very happy after marriage and had twins, a boy and a girl.

An accident caused the death of his daughter, leaving behind only a son.

"President Gu, President Lin of the Lin Group has arrived."

"knew."

He stared at her for a few seconds. "Mr. Lin, are you very busy today?"

Lin Wei waved her hand in denial, "No, I'm not in a hurry."

Gu Jingcheng turned and went into the office, gesturing for Lin Wei to come in.

Gu Jingcheng's office is simple and austere, which suits his personality perfectly.

"sit!"

Gu Jingcheng poured her a cup of coffee.

"Pretty lady, are you here to see my uncle?"

"Can I ask you to go to the movies later? My mom says girls all like watching movies."

How about I ask the pretty lady to take a look?

Lin Wei was charmed by the chubby little boy in front of her, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Gu Jingcheng leaned back in his chair, his eyes fixed on her without blinking.

Her gentle and charming face, with her eyes crinkling when she smiled, was unlike any of the women who had surrounded him before.

Ever since a woman smashed his head in his hair years ago, he has never bothered to waste his time on women again.

But at this moment, he could not ignore the erratic beating of his heart.

After a moment, he denied his unusual feelings for Lin Wei.

How could he possibly like a woman who is engaged to Gu Xuan?

She's just somewhat good-looking.

Gu Jingcheng stood up, picked up Gu Yinuo who was chatting animatedly in front of Lin Wei, and gently placed her outside the door.

"I'm going to play with Uncle Qiu, but my uncle has to work."

He closed the door behind him.

"Mr. Lin, I'll get straight to the point."

"Jingcheng Group needs your company's chip R&D technology. Mr. Fei Lin, please quote a price for the license."

Looking at him, Lin Wei felt that Gu Jingcheng wasn't as ruthless and cold-hearted as the rumors suggested.

Even after Gu Xuan had already handed over the chip technology, he still insisted on signing an agreement with her.

She looked up at him with a professional smile, polite and poised.

"Mr. Gu, as we agreed before, as long as you are willing to help, I am willing to unconditionally license my chip technology to your company."

"Since President Gu has kept his promise, I will also keep my word. Your company can use the chip technology for free."

Gu Jingcheng squinted and leaned back in his chair.

Is this what she's thinking? She wants him to keep his promise.

The methods were clumsy and riddled with flaws.

Gu Jingcheng straightened his cuffs, his gaze suddenly darkening.

So, Miss Lin still wants to marry me?

That's not what I meant.

Lin Wei hurriedly waved her hand.

"What does Miss Lin mean?"

Gu Jingcheng stood up from his chair and approached...
