Chapter 1 What Happened Last Night
In the luxurious and dim room of the hotel, an ambiguous atmosphere spread.
“…”
The next morning, the sudden ringing of a cell phone woke up the two people who were sleeping in each other's arms in bed. Lin Youning hated the ringing of the cell phone the most. She tried to bury herself in the quilt to block out the incessant ringing.
But unexpectedly, she felt an arm resting on her body first.
After being stunned for a moment, Lin Youning suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at the man next to him who opened his eyes first, stretched out his arm, picked up the phone and hung up.
"You...I..." Lin Youning opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by the man, "You what?"
Gu Huaichen's hawk-like eyes fell on her delicate collarbone, "Ms. Lin, don't tell me that you have forgotten what happened last night?"
Lin Youning watched him lift the quilt and get out of bed, "I didn't."
Facing Gu Huaichen's gaze again, Lin Youning came back to her senses and said very soberly, "Although I was drunk last night, I know what I did."
Gu Huaishen lowered his eyes, raised the corners of his lips, and asked directly, "What do you want?"
There must be a reason why the spoiled eldest daughter of the Lin family took the initiative to seduce him.
"I want to marry you." Lin Youning boldly stated what she wanted. "I know that the Lin family is nothing compared to the Gu family. But you also need a marriage."
Gu Huaichen paused for a moment, his eyebrows raised slightly, "Since you know that the Lin family is nothing, how can you be so confident that I will abandon other families that are more beneficial than the Lin family and can help the Gu Group's business to a higher level, and choose you?"
"..." Lin Youning had never thought about this problem before. Last night, she was actually full of passion and had the idea of breaking the jar. When Gu Huaichen returned to the room, she took the initiative to follow him and pushed him into the room.
But at this moment, Lin Youning thought about it calmly, and said with a red face, "At least, we are a good match."
To prevent Gu Huaichen from saying no, Lin Youning said decisively, "Don't deny it."
Gu Huaichen: “…”
After hearing what Lin Youning said clearly, Gu Huaichen raised his eyebrows without comment. He did not expect that Lin Youning would say such straightforward words in order to marry him.
After a moment of silence, Gu Huaichen raised the corner of his lips slightly, "Why do you want to marry me?"
"My dad..." Lin Youning pursed her lips and lowered her eyes, "He chose a marriage partner for me."
Gu Huaichen: “Hmm?”
Lin Youning: "It's Jian Cheng. He's so dirty. I don't like him."
Jian Cheng is a well-known playboy in the circle. He is indeed good-looking and rich. But he is too attractive and too philandering.
Lin Youning didn't want to live the same life as her mother in the future, having to deal with her husband's many mistresses coming to the house every day.
However, the Lin family had already collapsed from the inside out, and now only the old shell is left holding on.
Before Lin Youning graduated from university, she heard her parents discussing arranging a marriage for her after graduation.
She enjoyed all the favorable conditions given by the Lin family. She had everything she wanted and had long since let go of the idea of marriage.
She could accept marrying someone she didn't like that much, but she didn't want to marry Jian Cheng.
That's why, after knowing that her parents had chosen Jian Cheng as her marriage partner, Lin Youning started thinking about finding someone who was more powerful and self-disciplined than Jian Cheng.
There are not many men in their circle who keep themselves clean.
More importantly, some of the people who keep themselves clean come from families that are not more powerful than the Jian family and cannot suppress the Jian family.
After searching for a long time, Lin Youning finally set her sights on Gu Huaichen. Gu Huaichen was the head of the Gu Group, and Jian Cheng's father had to address him as "General Manager Gu" whenever he saw him. Not only was he powerful, but he was also very self-disciplined.
Rumor has it that he is not interested in women. Previously, a partner sent a woman to his room, but he threw her out directly. He showed no mercy to women at all.
Lin Youning also rushed towards him last night with the thought of being thrown out.
Anyway, it's the same whether you stick your head out or shrink it.
…
"You and Jian Cheng have known each other since childhood." Gu Huaichen said indifferently, "You don't have any feelings for him at all?"
Lin Youning raised her eyes and looked at him with resentment, "Who would have feelings for a dirty cucumber?"
Gu Huaichen choked.
"Just tell me, do you want to marry me?" Lin Youning didn't want to reason with Gu Huaichen.
Gu Huaichen was silent for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and asked, "How do you know I need a marriage partner?"
"I heard what they said," Lin Youning said, "They said that Grandpa Gu was pressuring you to get married."
Otherwise, she would not dare to act so rashly.
Gu Huaichen didn't say anything.
"Gu Huaichen..." Lin Youning was stared at by him and felt a little anxious, "Why are you silent again?"
She was unreasonable. "You don't want to eat..."
Before he could even utter the word "acknowledge", Gu Huaichen said, "Go wash up first."
Lin Youning: “Ah?”
Gu Huaichen glanced at her meaningfully, his eyes darkened, "After you wash up, I'll take you back to the Lin family."
Hearing this, Lin Youning's eyes lit up, "So, you agree to marry me?"
Gu Huaichen said calmly: "Besides marrying you, do I have any other choice?"
Lin Youning shook her head: "You didn't."
She quickly threw off the quilt and got out of bed, but as soon as she stepped on the ground, she lost her balance and fell down.
Seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, Gu Huaichen reached out and picked her up.
They stared at each other for a few seconds.
Lin Youning saw Gu Huaichen slowly raising his eyebrows, "Ms. Lin is really enthusiastic."
