Chapter 11: Secret Marriage



Yi Wei and Gu Yueshan spent several days finalizing the contents of the prenuptial agreement line by line. However, the contents of the agreement that could be notarized and had legal effect were basically those related to property. For other content that could not be handled legally and fairly, they also signed agreements privately and relied on their own conscience to comply with them.

They agreed to maintain their marriage for at least five years, and if they really couldn't live together after five years, they would discuss divorce. Yi Wei also suggested that if they divorced, even if they each remarried, they could not have a second child before the child was ten years old, and they could not hide the fact that they were married from their other half. There are also requirements about how to educate children, the responsibilities that each person should fulfill, etc. Almost all the requirements raised by Yi Wei are related to children.

After signing the prenuptial agreement and completing the marriage examination, they went directly to register for the marriage certificate and became a legal couple.

Yi Wei sat on the bed by the window, leaning against the window, drinking milk and looking at the night view outside. Outside the window was a lotus pond with lights in the water and a thin layer of smoke. It looked more beautiful at night and was very artistic. Gentle breeze blew in, which was quite comfortable.

Because he and Gu Yueshan had agreed not to make public the fact that they were married at least until the child was born, he nominally still lived in the nearby Begonia Garden, but had actually moved into Gu Yueshan's room. In his previous life, he had always tried his best to avoid Gu Yueshan and had never lived in the same room with Gu Yueshan. In this life, for the sake of the child, he planned to get along well with Gu Yueshan.

Yi Wei was lost in thought when a large hand passed over his head and closed the window. Yi Weiyi looked up and saw Gu Yueshan who came in from nowhere, just a few centimeters away from him.

After Gu Yueshan closed the window, he sat down opposite Yi Wei, poured himself a cup of tea and said, "It's windy here. Don't open the window when you sit here at night. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Yi Wei smiled and said, "I just sat there for a short while, and was about to close the door after finishing this glass of milk. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing, and I won't do anything I shouldn't do and let the child suffer with me."

Gu Yueshan glanced at Yi Wei, then looked at the two legal marriage registration cards he had just received today and placed in front of him and said, "Do you feel bad?"

Yi Wei was stunned for a moment and said, "No, this is my own choice. No one forced me to do this. Why should I feel bad? Not only do I not feel bad, I also feel very at ease. Now that my mind is clear, I know what is worth it and what is not. It is not necessary for a person to have love in his life."

"Emotional wounds are not easy to heal. I hope you have really figured it out and are not just deceiving yourself."

"I've really figured it out." Yi Wei looked at Gu Yueshan seriously and said, "Now in my heart, love is meaningless. There are many people who love each other, but those who have an unbreakable and permanent love relationship are even rarer than the number of protected animals. Love will always fade and disappear. Instead of getting tired of each other after love disappears, it's better not to start with love. And I had some problems with my brain before, so I fell in love with Gu Heng. Now my mind is clear, and it's impossible for me to be hurt by him again."

Yi Wei expressed his inner thoughts very seriously, but he was so serious that Gu Yueshan felt that he was deliberately brainwashing himself. And he no longer believed in love because of a hurt. Doesn't this prove that he cared too much about and valued this relationship?

Gu Yueshan looked at Yi Wei in silence for a while and then said, "Go take a shower. You will start studying and working tomorrow, so go to bed early."

"Okay." Yi Wei finished the last bit of milk, put down the cup in his hand, got off the bed and walked towards the bathroom.

Gu Yueshan looked at Yi Wei's back, with a dark light in his eyes like a whirlpool.

Gu Yueshan’s bedroom is very large. In order to avoid appearing empty, it is divided into several parts with hollow carved solid wood. The bed is a separately enclosed space.

After Yi Wei came out of the bathroom, he walked to the bed, stepped on the wooden step, then lifted the quilt and lay down.

Yi Wei was lying on the bed in a daze. This time when he got the marriage certificate with Gu Yueshan, his mood was completely different from the previous life. This time, although he was really determined, no matter in the next five years or after the divorce, he would get along well with Gu Yueshan for the sake of the children, and both of them would fulfill their responsibilities and obligations to educate and raise the children.

Although he and Gu Yueshan did not get married because of love, it was all voluntary. Even for those who get married for love, many of them end up getting divorced after the relationship breaks down. However, they are not in love, so rationality is greater than emotion. No matter what happens, they can discuss it calmly and get the best solution.

Yi Wei felt that he could develop another special relationship with Gu Yueshan that was neither love nor family affection or friendship. Because they are not in love, there will be no so-called infidelity and fading feelings, no endless quarrels and violence due to mutual boredom. They can strictly abide by the agreement of treating each other with courtesy and respect. Even after divorce, they will not let the children be caught in the middle and watch them hate each other, letting the children suffer the pain of being a "single parent" in a dilemma. They will let the children feel the love from both sides. Therefore, living in harmony and respecting each other in front of the children is more important than anything else.

Gu Yueshan was still taking a shower. After Yi Wei lay down, he quickly fell asleep.

In the second half of the night, Yi Wei suddenly woke up from his dream. He propped himself up and breathed hard because of his panic.

Gu Yueshan also woke up immediately because of his actions, sat up and looked at him and asked: "Did you have a nightmare?"

Yi Wei pressed his chest and nodded. He dreamed of his tragic death in his previous life and thought he had returned to his previous life.

Yi Wei's mind was hazy and he was not fully awake. After lying down, he closed his eyes and almost instinctively looked for a safe place, then snuggled into Gu Yueshan's arms, hugged him tightly, and soon fell asleep again.

Gu Yueshan looked down at the person who took the initiative to enter his arms and quickly fell asleep. He covered him with a quilt and held him in his arms to prepare for sleep. Gu Yueshan felt Yi Wei's young body. The two of them were pressed tightly together with almost no gap. He could even smell the faint, refreshing fragrance from Yi Wei's body.

Yi Wei slept peacefully, but Gu Yueshan took a while to fall asleep.

When Yi Wei woke up the next day, Gu Yueshan had already left for the company. After getting up, washing and having breakfast, Yi Wei went to Jiaxue to attend class. After the morning class, he went to Gu Yueshan's company to work. Because he stayed as Gu Yueshan's assistant, it is impossible for him to do nothing just because he was pregnant. This would only arouse more suspicion.

When Yi Weiyi entered the family school, everyone else looked at him and started whispering.

"Hey, have you heard? Yi Wei has moved into Haitang Garden."

"Of course I heard about it. How could I not have heard about such a thing? Haitangyuan is the courtyard where Secretary Wu lives. Everyone knows that Secretary Wu is Director Gu's most trusted confidant. Why on earth does Yi Wei, an intern assistant, live in the same courtyard with Secretary Wu?"

"But Yi Wei is indeed very good. He is very capable in every aspect. Such a person will be respected wherever he goes. Maybe Director Gu wants to train him and make him a confidant like Secretary Wu, so he lets him live in the same courtyard with Secretary Wu so that he can learn from Secretary Wu."

"I think so too. The Gu Group invests so much money every year, isn't it just to train talents in various fields for their use? Now it is clear that they want to focus on training Yi Wei, which is actually quite normal. Who can blame him for being so outstanding? I really envy him when I think about it."

"It is said that Director Gu intends to suppress Gu Heng. Do you think that Director Gu does not want Gu Heng to be the heir?"

"Where did you hear this news? Gu Heng has the support of Director Gu's biological mother behind him, so he has the greatest hope of becoming the heir."

"But think carefully about what happened recently. Gu Heng was punished by Director Gu to study etiquette for two months. I heard that Gu Heng's grandmother wanted to hold an engagement party for Gu Heng at the Gu family but did not get Director Gu's consent. Also, Gu Heng did not know that Yi Wei had applied for withdrawal. There is still no conclusion, right?"

"I heard that Director Gu is not only targeting Gu Heng this time, but also Gu Chang. Although Gu Chang is on the assistant list this time, he was assigned to a branch company and not to the group headquarters. I heard that it is because Director Gu is dissatisfied with the two of them fighting too much in the past two years, so he wants to let them know that the successor does not have to be chosen from the two of them."

"I've heard of this as well. Gu Heng and Gu Chang's other cousins ​​have also received work and study arrangements. Doesn't this tell Gu Heng and Gu Chang that others also have a chance?"

"It's so confusing. Every time news comes out, I can't tell what's real. But big families are complicated. It's exhausting to fight and scheme all day long. So it seems like an ordinary family has its advantages."

"It's all for their own benefit. With mountains of gold and silver right before our eyes, who wouldn't want to get more? If you find it tiring, why not just live an ordinary life far away? But how many people are willing to be ordinary and not be tempted by benefits?"

"That's true."

Whether it is the Gu family or the Gu family school, all kinds of news are spread every day. Gu Yueshan never forbids them to spread the news. Sometimes, in order to cover up the real news, he will even deliberately release some different false news to confuse the public. Anyway, as long as he does not admit it personally, it can be untrue.

Yi Wei decided not to join any group, and unlike his previous life, he planned to change his major.

Yi Wei pushed open the door of the teaching room, and the people inside were stunned when they saw him.

"Yi Wei?" Sun Qi looked at Yi Wei and said, "Are you...looking for me?"

"I'm here for class." Yi Wei randomly chose a seat and sat down.

"Class?" Sun Qi moved to sit next to Yi Wei, looked at him and said, "Your School of Economics has also started taking psychology courses?"

"No, I'm planning to change my major and college." Yi Wei said, and glanced at Yi Xuan who was staring at him with surprise.

"You're planning to change your major to psychology?!" Sun Qi said in surprise, "But you're not..."

Before Sun Qi could finish his words, the teacher came in. He could only swallow back his words and wait until the class was over before asking Yi Wei what was going on.
