Chapter 1: The Cruel CEO Forces His Substitute to Marry -- Just a Substitute
"Sparkling, Sparkling, I love you... We all love you to the point of madness..."
"My darling, I love you. Don't be afraid, I love you..."
"Sparkling... sparkling..."
Gu Shanshan felt as if he were enveloped in a cloud of white mist, which tightly bound him, making it impossible for him to break free.
In the white mist, he could hear Gong Ye's voice and know all the outrageous things Gong Ye said in his ear. He blushed with shame and indignation.
She wanted to open her eyes and push Gong Ye away.
He never imagined that Gong Ye was so sickly, not even sparing him while he was unconscious.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't wake up.
This state of being conscious but unable to wake up made Gu Shanshan extremely irritable and frustrated.
"Sparkling... sparkling..."
I miss you so much, I love you so much...
"Sparkling, I can't live without you, I want you..."
As Gong Ye spoke, he knelt down on Gu Shanshan.
Gu Shanshan couldn't wake up, but she could clearly sense everything that had happened. She was so furious that she wanted to open her eyes and beat up that beast Gong Ye.
Even after he was in that state, Gong Ye still managed to do it.
Unfortunately, no matter how angry he got, he couldn't open his eyes.
......
Time flies, and years pass quickly.
A full year has passed since Gu Shanshan fell into a coma.
After Gu Shanshan's external injuries to her body and head healed, she was taken back to Gong Ye's villa.
Lying on Gong Ye's bed, she was cared for by Gong Ye alone day and night.
During this year, Gu Shanshan was like a lifeless doll, with Gong Ye, the owner of the doll, taking care of everything from wiping her down to dressing her.
Whenever Gong Ye returned, he would carry Gu Shanshan almost everywhere he went.
The two were like conjoined twins, inseparable.
Gong Ye would hold Gu Shanshan while bathing, hold Gu Shanshan while eating, and hold Gu Shanshan while taking a walk in the garden.
He might even take Gu Shanshan out to celebrate Valentine's Day.
Apart from Gu Shanshan still being asleep, everything else suited Gong Ye's taste perfectly.
As for Jiang Ziheng, Gong Ye kept his promise and did not make things difficult for him again.
She arranged a well-paying job for him and deliberately arranged for Jiang Ziheng to find a younger boyfriend.
He still couldn't bear the possibility that Jiang Ziheng and Gu Shanshan still had any connection.
As for what he said before about letting go and giving Gu Shanshan to Jiang Ziheng, Gong Ye would never admit that he said those things.
Gong Ye continued to talk to Gu Shanshan every day, reporting all his affairs to her in detail.
He was deceiving himself into thinking that Gu Shanshan was still awake, and that he was a husband reporting his itinerary to his wife.
Unfortunately, Gu Shanshan will never give him any response.
At first, Gong Ye felt upset.
But as time went on, he gradually felt that this state was quite good.
At least Gu Shanshan is still alive and by his side.
Every day when she wakes up, the first thing she sees is Gu Shanshan. She can fall asleep holding him and wake up kissing him. Sometimes, when she can't help herself, she can even press down on Gu Shanshan and be affectionate.
And what about Gu Shanshan?
She lay so obediently in his arms, never leaving him no matter what he did or said that was too much.
Gong Ye was becoming increasingly satisfied with this situation.
Throughout the year, Gu Shanshan remained fully conscious.
He knew every word Gong Ye had said to him and every action he had taken.
While feeling ashamed and indignant, I also felt a pang of bitterness.
Everyone says, "There are no filial sons at the bedside of a chronically ill patient."
To be fair, if someone in an ordinary family gets sick and is hospitalized, at first, the family members will be worried and try their best to take care of the patient at the hospital.
But as time goes by, all those worries will be completely worn away.
All that's left is disgust and annoyance.
You might even think to yourself, "Why isn't he dead yet? What a nuisance."
What about Miyako?
After he had been in a coma for a whole year, the doctors concluded that he would probably remain in a coma for the rest of his life.
But Gong Ye didn't care at all.
Instead, he became more and more indulgent towards himself, spending more and more time with himself, and moving unnecessary work to his home.
The voice he spoke to himself became increasingly gentle, like that of a loving husband to his wife.
Gu Shanshan was deeply moved, and only then did he believe that Gong Ye truly loved him madly.
Although he couldn't understand why Gong Ye had such intense, even obsessive, feelings for him.
On a dark and windy night.
Gong Ye tore off the clothes that he had personally put on Gu Shanshan's body again.
"Hmm..."
Gu Shanshan frowned tightly, let out a soft moan, and slowly opened her eyes.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she heard Gong Ye staring at her blankly.
"Sparkling..."
Having not seen Gu Shanshan open her eyes for a year, Gong Ye suddenly realized he was dreaming.
It had been a year since I last saw Gong Ye's face. Gong Ye had grown even more handsome and colder.
Gu Shanshan knew very well that Gong Ye had not been feeling well over the past year because of her coma.
Looking at the glistening tears in Gong Ye's eyes, Gu Shanshan recalled the words Gong Ye had whispered in her ear over the past year, and his unwavering care for her.
My heart ached even more, my eyes stung, and something felt like it was about to spill over.
Biting her lip, Gu Shanshan closed her eyes, concealing the emotion in them, and leaned in to kiss Gong Ye's lips.
Gong Ye was only slightly surprised for a few seconds. After realizing what had happened, a surge of joy flashed through his heart.
He immediately took the initiative, hugging Gu Shanshan and kissing him fiercely.
God knows how much Gong Ye missed his precious baby who would cry and laugh in front of him during this past year.
"Hmm..."
Gong Ye remained as domineering and forceful as ever.
But this time, faced with Gong Ye's fierce plunder, Gu Shanshan did not avoid it. Instead, she responded actively.
After a night of absurdity.
The next day, as soon as I opened my eyes, I felt Gong Ye holding me tightly, with such force that it was as if he was afraid I would disappear.
A deep, husky, magnetic voice sounded in her ear, "Shanshan, I love you."
Gu Shanshan felt a pang of sadness, and responded softly with slightly reddened eyes.
"Gong Ye, I love you too."
After saying this, Gu Shanshan clearly felt the body behind her stiffen.
As Gong Ye kissed her, a system notification sounded in Gu Shanshan's mind.
[Congratulations, host! The target's corruption level has been reduced to zero. You have successfully completed the conquest mission. Do you wish to leave now, or stay in this world and stay with the target for the rest of your life?]
After going through so much with Gong Ye, Gu Shanshan was not unmoved.
Although he doesn't know if he truly loves Gong Ye, he knows that one day he will fall in love with this strong man who has given him all his tenderness and affection.
Without hesitation, he chose, "I want to stay."
007 breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said, "[Wishing you and your target happiness, host!]"
Then, it disappeared immediately.
Gu Shanshan closed her eyes and tried her best to respond to Gong Ye's kiss.
The room was filled with boundless springtime beauty, which lasted for a very long time...
......
At the lavish banquet, handsome men and beautiful women danced gracefully on the dance floor below.
This is the Gong family's annual meeting.
Gu Shanshan was a minor celebrity from the Gong family, and she wasn't originally qualified to attend this banquet.
However, he was personally brought in by Gong Ye, the president of the Gong Group.
If Gu Shanshan had known from the beginning what she would be brought here for, she would never have come.
At this moment, he was pinned to the corner of the second-floor terrace by Gong Ye.
Seeing Gu Shanshan's dazed expression, Gong Ye frowned slightly, a deep displeasure flashing in his dark eyes.
He bit Gu Shanshan's chin hard and questioned her in a hoarse, displeased voice.
"Little darling, you're daydreaming. You dare to daydream right next to me? You're getting bolder and bolder because I spoil you."
A sharp pain in her chin brought Gu Shanshan back to her senses.
She looked up at the man in front of her with tears in her eyes, her tearful eyes filled with grievance and resentment.
He was originally just a minor celebrity at a small company.
However, because her older brother, who was studying for a master's degree abroad, was a former classmate of the man in front of her, she was entrusted by her brother to be taken care of by the man in front of her, and thus she was signed to the Gong family.
But no one could have imagined that Gong Ye would take care of his friend's younger brother and end up in bed with him.
In short, he was sexually harassed.
While others who are subjected to unspoken rules see their careers flourish, he remains struggling on the fringes of the entertainment industry, without a single decent gig.
Gong Ye grabbed his chin hard and warned him in a harsh voice.
"Don't cry. If you cry, you won't look like him. Don't forget, you're just a substitute."
