Gu Chengyu pushed open the door to the second bedroom, his movements radiating barely suppressed anger. Su Qianqian was curled up on the single sofa by the window reading a book. Startled by his sudden movement, she looked up, somewhat bewildered, as he strode in with a dark expression, clutching a familiar document in his hand. "Ayu? What are you doing…" Before she could finish speaking, Gu Chengyu was already in front of her. He shoved the contract directly in her face, his voice taut, filled with obvious heartache and anger: "This contract, what's going on? Why didn't you ever tell me?" Su Qianqian's gaze fell on the contract, she paused for a moment, then her eyes flickered. Her expression ignited Gu Chengyu's anger, not at her, but at the person who signed the contract. "Speak up! Who is it! I'll tear it to shreds!" His voice rose slightly, tinged with impatience. Su Qianqian looked up at him with her large, watery almond-shaped eyes, her voice soft and slightly aggrieved: "It was Sister Shu who made me sign it..." She seemed reluctant to mention that name, her voice growing softer as she spoke: "Back then, we had just started dating, and you two were still in that kind of relationship. I didn't want to mention her in front of you, and I especially didn't want to speak ill of her, making it seem like I was deliberately trying to sow discord..." "And later, I got rich, and I felt that 20 million wasn't much, so I didn't pay much attention to it." She spoke casually, as if it were just a trivial matter, but she actually had her own ulterior motives. She had seen from 007 that Qiao Xi and Lin Shu were living very comfortably. Sure enough, to Gu Chengyu, every word she spoke felt like a needle piercing his heart. Just because she didn't want him to think she was trying to sow discord, she was willing to silently endure this insulting contract? What if he didn't give her that allowance, and, as his mother had just said, changed his mind and didn't want her anymore? What would she do then? At this moment, only overwhelming heartache remained, almost drowning him. For the first time, he felt a pang of regret, regretting his previous reckless indulgence. He abruptly reached out and pulled the naive, heartbreakingly innocent girl before him into a tight embrace, his grip so strong it felt like he wanted to meld her into his very bones. "Idiot!" His voice was terribly hoarse, filled with lingering fear and tenderness. "How could you be so foolish! How could you think like that?" "Whether it's Lin Shu or Li Shu, I'll only ever believe in my Qianqian." He lowered his head, his cheek pressed against the soft top of her head, his voice filled with regret: "If only I had met you sooner, if only I had fallen in love with you sooner." "Then, what chance would other women have? I would always be yours alone." Su Qianqian, held tightly in his arms, felt his rapid heartbeat and the heartache and regret in his words, a small glint of mischief flashing in her eyes. She reached out her small hands and hugged his strong waist, rubbing her face against his chest, her soft voice comforting him: "It's all in the past, I have you now..." Hearing her obedient words, Gu Chengyu's heart softened even more. He loosened his grip slightly, cupped her face in his hands, and said with focused attention: "You're not allowed to do that again. If anything happens, if you feel wronged, you must tell me immediately, understand?" Su Qianqian looked at his serious expression and nodded obediently: "Yes, I know." "This contract is void." Gu Chengyu picked up the obstructive contract and tossed it aside. "Tomorrow I'll have Shen's Group draft the best one and send it to you." He lowered his head, his forehead against hers, their noses brushing together, his tone domineering yet indulgent: "My woman doesn't need to suffer like this." Su Qianqian tilted her head back and gently kissed the corner of his lips, her smile charming and dependent: "Yes, I'll do whatever you say." She felt once again that she had successfully won him over. However, the system notification tone did not sound for a long time.
