Chapter 9 Obtaining the Marriage Certificate
Gu Yuheng spoke in a calm tone, but his words revealed his shock.
Su Niannian unconsciously crumpled the handkerchief, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Uncle, you must be joking. I don't even know you. How can we get married?"
She was so flustered that she didn't even care about what to call her.
Gu Yuheng turned his head, his gaze falling on Su Niannian's flustered little face, and tried to make his voice as approachable as possible.
“Ms. Su, my grandmother is now refusing to take her medication because she is worried about my marriage. I have never liked a woman before, but you seem to be somewhat special. I hope you can give it a try with me. Our marriage will last for one year. If you feel that we are not compatible by then, I will have a lawyer draft a divorce agreement, give you sufficient compensation, and help you find a stable job.”
"Of course, during the marriage, I will give you 50,000 yuan every month as pocket money."
Su Niannian's brows, which were slightly furrowed, widened when she heard the word "50,000 yuan," and she looked up at Gu Yuheng.
With 50,000 yuan a month, we can raise enough money for Grandma's surgery in two months.
Recently, Grandma has been suffering from headaches every night, making it difficult for her to sleep. However, she always tries her best not to make a sound, and she even turns over very carefully, for fear of waking Su Niannian.
But how could Su Niannian not know?
If we cooperate with Mr. Gu for a year, we can cover Grandma's surgery expenses and save enough to rent a nice apartment so we can move in with her.
Okay, I agree.
Gu Yuheng looked slightly surprised, maintaining his previous posture and turning slightly to the side, as if he hadn't expected Su Niannian to agree so readily.
"Are you really sure? Even if you don't agree, I don't want to force you. I can help you find a place to stay."
He knew that Su Niannian had run away from home alone and might not have anywhere to stay.
Su Niannian lowered her head, clutching the edge of her handkerchief, leaving a faint fingerprint on the pristine white fabric.
She knew that what Gu Yuheng said was true; she really needed the money, but she didn't want to owe Gu Yuheng a favor, because that would only make her owe more and more, and she would never be able to pay it off in this lifetime.
Doing something would make her feel less pressured.
"Mr. Gu, I've made up my mind. I want to marry you."
Soon, the two red marriage certificates were delivered to Gu Yuheng.
Su Niannian was surprised. In just one hour, Gu Yuheng had completed all the wedding arrangements. The two of them didn't even go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, and Su Niannian's ID card was still at home.
"Mr. Gu, is getting a marriage certificate really that simple now?"
Su Niannian's fair face showed a slight surprise.
The black sedan, like a sharp sword, cut through the street and drove onto the quiet side road.
Gu Yuheng glanced at her and noticed that the girl's mood had improved considerably, which made him secretly relieved.
"This is the power of money."
Su Niannian nodded, took the red booklet from his hand, and looked at it repeatedly for a long time.
"It really does look just like the real thing."
Gu Yuheng couldn't help but chuckle: "It's true. What were you thinking? Did you think I was just joking when I said I'd marry you?"
Su Niannian felt that Gu Yuheng was her boss now, and a boss should be appeased, otherwise what if he got unhappy and filed for divorce tomorrow?
Then Grandma won't be able to get her surgery fees.
"No, no, Mr. Gu, I was just joking."
Gu Yuheng moved slightly closer to her, looking at her with a probing gaze.
"I don't think so."
As the distance closed, the scent of pine wood emanating from the man reached her nose clearly. Su Niannian, who had been single for 20 years, had no romantic experience other than that one night of intimate union; she had never even held a man's hand.
She couldn't help but blush, her face turning a brighter, more vivid red than the red marriage certificate in her hand.
Just like peach blossoms, tempting people to pick them.
Gu Yuheng's eyes were in disarray. He couldn't help but recall the girl's fragrant, soft body, and his Adam's apple bobbed slightly.
Damn it.
He leaned back abruptly, trying to get as far away from Su Niannian as possible, but the carriage was cramped, and there was nowhere he could retreat to.
Gu Yuheng admitted that he had desires for Su Niannian, and only for her. He had never liked strangers getting close to him since he was a child, but Su Niannian broke his rules time and time again.
But Gu Yuheng is an adult and knows that desire and emotion should not be confused.
What's wrong?
Su Niannian opened her clear eyes, her fair cheeks slightly puffed out, and looked at Gu Yuheng with puzzlement as he was about to sit outside the car.
Gu Yuheng leaned against the cold car door, which helped to cool him down, and gently closed his eyes.
"It's alright."
His eyelashes fluttered, and the turmoil in his heart gradually amplified with the temperature before him.
He opened his eyes and met a pair of beautiful almond-shaped eyes.
Seeing that his face was a little red, Su Niannian thought he was not feeling well, so she leaned her upper body against Gu Yuheng's chest, her soft skin accidentally pressing against his hard chest, and raised her hand to touch Gu Yuheng's forehead.
She said in a soft voice, "Do you have a fever? If you feel unwell, I can accompany you to the hospital first."
Gu Yuheng was in great pain. Looking into her innocent, rabbit-like eyes, he suddenly felt a sense of guilt, as if he were a beast.
He grasped her wrist; the girl's wrist was very thin. He knew Su Niannian was thin, but he didn't expect her to be this thin.
An unsettling emotion simmered within Gu Yuheng, compelling him to gently pull Su Niannian away.
The beautiful feelings in my heart were also overshadowed by that emotion.
"Don't worry, I'm really fine."
Even after the car drove into the courtyard of the old house, Su Niannian was still half-believing and half-doubting.
But when she followed Gu Yuheng into this simple and elegant mansion, she was stunned by the sight before her.
Su Niannian felt as if she had entered a royal palace.
Outside, there are pavilions, terraces, and corridors; inside, it is elegant and luxurious.
She looked at Gu Yuheng, who was helping the old lady as they walked over, in surprise.
What exactly is his identity?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take my granddaughter-in-law to sit down."
A voice, both reproachful and loving, interrupted Su Niannian's thoughts.
In the blink of an eye, the old lady had already walked up to Su Niannian.
She quickly bowed and greeted her, "Hello, Grandma... I'm Su Niannian."
Madam Gu, abandoning her stern demeanor towards her grandson, immediately adopted a gentle and kind expression and pulled Su Niannian to her feet.
"Hello, my child. Welcome to Grandma's house."
Gu Yuheng stood to the side with his head down, and was slapped again by the old lady: "Didn't you hear what I said? Hurry up and take Niannian to sit on the sofa. It's Niannian's first time in our house, so she's bound to be reserved. Can't you be a little more perceptive?"
Aunt Chen looked at the young master with sympathy.
I thought to myself, this old lady really misses her granddaughter-in-law terribly.
This is treating their grandson like a Japanese person.
The old lady was so warm and loving that Su Niannian was flattered and timid. She shrank back and was led to the sofa by Gu Yuheng, where she looked up at him.
