Chapter 2 Let's have a romance
1344 Words
Gu Tingchen was in a daze. "what new tricks are you playing?"
It was snowing out of the window. My 23rd birthday was approaching in less than two months.
That day coincided with New Year's Eve.
I didn't know if I could make it to that day.
I compressed my lips, touched my smooth belly, and suggested with a smile, "you know I've always liked you, so I want you to let go of all your prejudices and have a three-month romance with me."
Gu Tingchen said in a low voice: "you wish."
The voice in the phone was with no warmth, and covered my whole body and mind. My tears flew down uncontrollably, and my heart ached so much as if it was numb.
I suppressed the cry in my voice and said with a faint smile, "Gu Tingchen, didn't you want a divorce? How about this? Let’s have a three-month romance, and you must be a qualified man. You must love me and take care of me, even if you don't really have feelings for me, you must pretend to love me very much. If you can do this for three months, I promise to divorce and give you all the assets of the Shi family. Think about it. You can divorce me in three months and own the hundreds of billions of Shi family’s assets. In three months, you can marry Wen Ruyan as well. That’s a good deal indeed."
Gu Tingchen asked with indifference, "so, I will have to playact with you for three months?"
A play for three months, and am the only audience.
Essentially, I was just trying to cheat myself.
I pressed my voice and said, "Yes, please have a romance with me."
"Oh, won't you disgust me for three months?"
"¡¡"
In my sight, the black Maybach left the villa.

As I woke up in the morning, my head was dizzy and my throat was too dry for me to swallow, probably it was because I had cried too long the night before. I got up and took my medicine as instructed by the doctor, and then washed up, got dressed, made up and headed for the company.
Apart from being Gu Tingchen's wife, I was also the president of the Shi family.
As I was working on the papers in the company, the Chairman of Gu family, who was also my father-in-law, called me.
He was speaking in a low voice, and told me solemnly, "do you know that Wen Ruyan has come back from the United States? Keep Tingchen under control within these days, and I will handle the rest of the matter. "
I was stunned and asked, "when did she get back?"
"Yesterday."
No wonder Gu Tingchen didn't ask me to call Wen Ruyan's name in the bed last night, and even remained calm when I seduced him with divorce. It turned out that he didn't want to pretend to be affectionate with me in front of Wen Ruyan.
Gu Tingchen did not want Wen Ruyan to misunderstand that he loved me.
With this in mind, my heart hurt a lot.
Since I couldn’t have him, why not let go of him?
I smiled and said decisively, "dad, I want to divorce Tingchen."
Chairman Gu almost choked, and the he asked unsurely, "what?"
"Tingchen doesn't love me. Since he married me, our relationship has become worse and worse. If we get divorced, our relationship may get better."
Chairman Gu will never approve of our divorce.
Unless¡¡
Looking down at the transfer documents on my desk, I said with a smile of relief, "don’t worry, I will transfer all the shares of Shi family to Gu Tingchen."
Chairman Gu was silent for a long time, and asked me in bewilderment, "Wen Ruyan just came back, and you immediately give up on your position as Tingchen’s wife. Moreover, you are even willing to transfer all the shares of Shi family to our family. What do you want by doing all these?"
What do I want?
I reached out to cover my wet eyes, suppressed the distress in my heart, and replied in a low voice, "there were countless families attempting to unite with Shi family, what would I want when I chose your family?"
Speaking of this, I said with a tone full of self-mockery, "dad, from the beginning to the end, all you just wanted was the assets of the Shi family, but I just wanted him."
Gu chairman stayed silent and finally sighed.
I hung up, and signed my name on the document of shares transferring.
After my parents died, I was the only member of Shi family left.
But I would be gone after three months, so Shi family could only rely on Gu Tingchen.
In fact, Gu Tingchen was excellent. Although he had failed to protect the woman he loved three years ago due to the lack of power, he has been decisive and ruthless in the business field.
He was strong enough to make his opponents afraid of him.
After he suffered a loss because of the lack of power three years ago, he had begun to accumulate power. By now, Gu family is strong enough to beat Shi family.
Although both sides would be weak after Gu family beats Shi family, Gu Tingchen was not afraid. I knew he was waiting for an opportunity, waiting for his family to get out of his father's control and waiting for Wen Ruyan to come back. Now that everything is ready and Shi family is vulnerable to his attack, it is better to send it to him directly than to let him destroy it.
Anyway, no one would be able to inherit the assets of Shi family after three months.
After signing the transfer of shares, I wrote a will at the same time.
There was only one short sentence on it.
Tingchen, I wish you get what you want in your life.
I went to lawyer Chen with the papers. He was my father's lawyer before my father died.
He turned over the papers in surprise and then looked at my will.
I smiled and said, "after I leave, everything will be given to Gu Tingchen, but I wish he can play a piano song in front of my grave."
Lawyer Chen asked with compassion in his eyes, "which song?"
I said casually, "I would like The street where the wind resides."
The first time I met Gu Tingchen, the first piano song I heard him playing was "The street where the wind resides."
That was the last piano song my mother played for me.
After leaving lawyer Chen’s office, I called Gu Tignchen. He answered the phone with a low voice, "Hmm? Why are you calling again? "
Again?
I called him only twice this year.
Including the one I made the night before.
I was patient and asked with a smile, "do you want to go home for dinner tonight?"
He threw me one word coldly, "No."
There was still snow in the sky. I reached out and caught it. The cold feeling came to my heart. I suddenly said, "I heard that Wen Ruyan has come back."
Gu Dingchen interrupted me and said coldly, "what are you going to do to her? Shi Sheng, I warn you, if anything happens to her, I will kill you and bury you along with her! "
Kill me and bury me along with her? I had wanted to say that I would give up my status as his wife so that he could marry Wen Ruyan. I wanted asking him to come home for dinner tonight was just to discuss the divorce.
But in his heart, I have always been vicious.
Since he thought so of me, I decided to follow his opinion.
So, I exaggerated a laugh: "are you coming home at night then? I don’t know what I would do to hurt others when I'm jealous."
