He trusted his judgment and believed that the people he chose would not disappoint him.
Moreover, even if he misjudges the situation and one day becomes penniless, he can support himself and won't end up relying on his parents.
If that were the case, he wouldn't regret his choice.
He currently owns hundreds of millions of assets, and he doesn't know exactly how much. The only thing he's certain of is that his monthly and even yearly spending hasn't touched even a fraction of that wealth.
After all, he's a grown man, not interested in luxury goods. His only leisure activity is drinking tea for health, a hobby that doesn't seem to cost much. The most expensive thing he's wearing is probably his custom-made suit.
Even though most of his clothes are custom-made, they don't cost him much throughout the year. After all, he doesn't care much about clothes. As long as they are comfortable, the price is secondary. He can wear a piece of clothing for two or three years as long as it's not damaged.
So, it seems he has nowhere to spend all the money he's earned. Money is just an external thing; you can't take it with you when you die. He never intended to keep this pile of money and lie in a coffin with these cold, lifeless things a hundred years from now.
To him, those assets were just a string of cold numbers. The faster and larger the numbers rose, the more they highlighted his loneliness and isolation. This feeling intensified after he met her; he felt as if those numbers were mocking him, ridiculing him for not even having someone to spend money on him.
So, since this money could tempt his future in-laws and help him successfully propose to her, why didn't he do it?
Why not?
I'm happy, no amount of money can buy that.
In other people's eyes, he might have lost out on that contract. But whether he made a profit or a loss is up to him to decide.
It's said that love cannot be measured or bought with money. He's already gained something by exchanging this contract for the opportunity to spend every day with her, for her genuine attention, and for her true feelings.
He's a businessman, how could he possibly do business at a loss?
Since he is willing to pay this price, it proves that what he wants is worth the price, and may even be worth far more than the cost he pays.
And isn't that exactly the case now?
He did indeed receive a reward of higher value.
Lin Chuxia was unaware of Gu Yuheng's series of inner thoughts, but she was currently thinking of another question: "Gu Yuheng, if it were someone else, would you do the same?"
In return, Gu Yuheng looked at her as if she were an idiot: "You think I'm that kind of person? So far, you're the only one who has made me think that way."
Lin Chuxia smiled, her eyebrows curving as she looked at him: "Then, what about you in the future? Will you ever have these kinds of thoughts about other people?"
Gu Yuheng retorted, "Are you out of your mind? With that contract in place, how could I dare to have such thoughts about someone else?"
Lin Chuxia, who was overjoyed, was speechless: "..." He said such awful things. Wasn't he worried that she might really turn him into a penniless pauper in a fit of anger?
"Don't worry! My heart is already full of you, there's no room for anyone else." He had spent countless sleepless nights and gone to great lengths to win her hand in marriage, he cherished her too much to do anything foolish that would drive her away.
