If Lin Qingze knew all this, he would definitely point at Lin Chuxia's head and start cursing:
Do you know how much effort your brother put in to get you a five-year term? And you're so spineless, making such a lifelong promise to someone so casually...
...
One year ago.
When Lin Qingze returned home, he learned that Gu Yuheng had taken advantage of his absence to quickly trick his younger sister into getting a marriage certificate with him. He was so angry that he almost fainted on the spot.
Lin Qingze had always disliked Gu Yuheng, a man who harbored ill intentions towards his sister.
Especially after Gu Yuheng used extraordinary means to become his prospective brother-in-law, his impression of Gu Yuheng worsened.
When he learned that Gu Yuheng had done something despicable again, he was so angry that he demanded on the spot that Lin Chuxia choose between her brother, with whom she had spent many years and had a deep relationship, and her husband, whom she had only known for a short time and had no emotional foundation with.
If Lin Chuxia had to choose between her brother and her husband, which would she choose?
At that time, Lin Chuxia was still in the stage of constantly arguing with Gu Yuheng and didn't have much affection for him. Gu Yuheng could guess with his toes whether she would choose her brother or him, her new husband, or she would choose the former.
So before Lin Qingze could force Lin Chuxia to make a choice, he decisively had Gu Jiu drag Lin Qingze away.
Then, the two of them faced each other and began a secret conversation.
It's unclear what Gu Yuheng said to Lin Qingze, but Lin Qingze ultimately chose to back down.
Presumably, he couldn't bear to see his sister divorce so soon after getting married, and after being persuaded by Gu Yuheng, he finally agreed to give Gu Yuheng a chance.
However, he had one condition: if Lin Chuxia still had no romantic feelings for Gu Yuheng within three years, then Gu Yuheng must take the initiative to file for divorce and set her free.
"They say it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Isn't it inappropriate for you to separate us like this?"
"Not suitable?" Ha! When you were out, you tricked my sister into going to get a marriage certificate with you, why didn't you say it wasn't suitable then?
Lin Qingze's smile didn't reach his eyes. "My parents are old and easily fooled by you, but I'm still sharp. If it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't even want to give you these three years."
Gu Yuheng pursed his thin lips and remained silent.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Five years."
Three years is too short a time.
Lin Qingze laughed: "What? The head of the mighty Gu Group has so little confidence in himself? You can't even handle a little girl in three years?"
Gu Yuheng remained silent.
He didn't lack confidence in himself. He lacked confidence in that little girl.
Lin Qingze thought that his provocation would make Gu Yuheng agree without hesitation, but...
"Seven years."
Lin Qingze's face immediately darkened: "No way."
"I don't think that will work either. How about ten years?"
Lin Qingze was amused by his shamelessness and gritted his teeth, saying, "Why don't you just say it's for a lifetime?"
Gu Yuheng readily accepted the suggestion and happily replied, "Okay. Then it'll be for a lifetime."
Lin Qingze's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"I've truly experienced the shamelessness of President Gu."
Gu Yuheng didn't take it to heart, and instead nodded, saying, "Thicker is better. It will keep you warmer."
Lin Qingze finally couldn't hold back any longer.
She jumped up, pointed at Gu Yuheng's nose, and yelled, "A lifetime? Don't even think about it!"
This guy not only cheated on his sister, but also wants to continue wasting her life?
Although the position of the president's wife of the Gu Group is coveted by many, Lin Qingze does not believe that it will necessarily be a good ending for Lin Chuxia.
Without an emotional foundation, it's just a cage.
Even if the cage were made of gold, he wouldn't let his sister waste her life imprisoned in it.
His sister is only eighteen years old, and she has a long future ahead of her. There's no need for her to waste her precious youth with this person who's scheming against her, or even ruin her life's happiness.
The future of early summer should be bright, dazzling, and colorful.
His parents made a wrong decision because they were misled by the despicable Gu Yuheng, but he was still clear-headed and would not let things continue to turn out this way.
"Five years at most. That's all I can back down from. If you can't make her fall in love with you in five years, then you should back out."
Lin Qingze made another concession, but this was also his final retreat.
And so, someone shamelessly bought themselves two more years.
And so the five-year agreement was established.
After the agreement was made, Gu Jiu, who was standing by Gu Yuheng's side at the time, was very worried: "Third Master, how could you agree to Young Master Lin's request?"
"What do you think?" In that situation, Lin Qingze was threatening him with his weakness. What other choice did he have but to agree?
It's already quite good that he was able to buy himself two more years.
“But…” Gu Jiu’s expression was still conflicted. “Does that mean that if the young mistress doesn’t fall in love with you in five years, you really want to divorce her?”
"No." Divorce is impossible; it's never going to happen in this lifetime.
Gu Yuheng rolled his eyes at him, "If you can't speak properly, then shut up."
Gu Jiu: "...Oh."
...
After the agreement was reached, Gu Yuheng was always worried about what he would do if Lin Chuxia still hadn't fallen in love with him by the time the five-year period was up.
What will become of his life?
Although he had already thought of a solution, he was still very unsure about the matter.
Fortunately, everything is now resolved, and he no longer needs to worry about the five-year agreement that has troubled him for so long.
—His little girl personally promised him that she would stay with him for life and accompany him until the end. What could be more exciting and thrilling than this?
However, while he was excited, Lin Chuxia was the one suffering.
When she was forced to do exercises with Gu Yuheng time and time again that were even more tiring than "climbing mountains and crossing valleys," she burst into tears.
Waaah... I should have known better than to say such things...
Having finally gotten a chance to rest, Gu Yuheng's phone, which was on the bedside table, kept vibrating tirelessly.
Shortly after Gu Yuheng hung up, the vibrations started again.
Looking at the caller's name displayed on his phone screen, the murderous intent in Gu Yuheng's eyes almost materialized.
After glancing at the girl who was still fast asleep, Gu Yuheng ultimately decided to go out and answer the call.
He tiptoed out of the room.
He swiped his finger across the screen and tapped to answer the call: "What is it?"
He'd better have something really important to do, or he'll make him pay for this phone call!
"Gu San, come out and watch the sunrise together!"
