Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 144 - Do You Really Love Her?

Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Do You Really Love Her?

Zhou Yuan was immersed in such joy, and it took her a while to turn around, then shyly she called out to him, “Brother Cheng.”

Gu Cheng seemed to react only then, realizing that the person standing here was Zhou Yuan, not the person from before, and he immediately let go of her.

In that moment, Zhou Yuan seemed to understand something.

He had mistaken her for someone else!

She stood there, at a loss.

Was she just a substitute?

“Brother Cheng, just now… were you thinking of someone else?” Zhou Yuan’s voice trembled.

Gu Cheng realized that his reaction could hurt Zhou Yuan, but he had to admit, that was his genuine reaction.

“I’m sorry, I heard you singing, so I mistook you for someone else,” Gu Cheng apologized.

Zhou Yuan’s tears had already started to flow, “Do you love her very much?”

Love her?

Gu Cheng had not thought about her for a long time, just now, it was just a sudden reaction, like seeing a dish he hadn’t eaten in a long time and unconsciously picking up chopsticks.

But, would that dish still taste the same?

Seeing that he didn’t reply, Zhou Yuan’s tears flowed even more fiercely.

How foolish, knowing full well that her love was unrequited, yet she always thought that he would fall in love with her, never expecting to end up as a substitute in the end.

“Brother Cheng,” Zhou Yuan choked up, “I’ll give you one night to think this over, to decide if you really want to go through with this marriage. If you regret it, we can cancel the wedding at any time.”

After saying this, she put down the fruit knife she was holding, washed her hands, then turned and walked out of the kitchen.

Gu Cheng sat in a kitchen chair, staring blankly at the fruit Zhou Yuan had cut.

Feng City, by Qian Deng Lake.

There is a small island by the lake with a group of villas called Feng Huang Bay, which looks like a fairyland with towering palm trees, various artificial mountains with water features, and rest pavilions, surrounded by blossoming flowers and the fragrances of nature.

Gu Wei and Su Meixi, led by the real estate agent, viewed two villas.

Because there were only two left.

Buying a villa not only required money but also qualifications, and approvals were needed to move in.

And Gu Wei just happened to meet such qualifications.

Gu Wei asked Su Meixi, “Which one do you like?”

From the moment Su Meixi set foot on the island, her eyes sparkled.

Anyone normal would like it here.

She couldn’t, in good conscience, say she didn’t like it.

Her only concern was, “If I live here, won’t it be too far to get to work?”

Gu Wei wrapped his arms around her, gently saying, “If you live here, then you’ll need to find a driver to take you to work and back.”

“I’m just a doctor; having a driver take me every day, people will talk.”

“So, what do you think is more tiring, people talking about you, or driving to and from work every day?”

Su Meixi had no answer.

Though it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, she was really used to living independently, afraid she might not adapt to such a pampered life.

Gu Wei coaxed her further, “Let’s not worry about living here for now, let’s buy it first, and you can move in whenever you feel like it, okay?”

Su Meixi then asked, “But what about the price…”

“Money is not an issue.”

At Gu Wei’s insistence, Su Meixi chose the villa closer to the bridge, where from the balcony she could see the lake and the vehicles coming and going.

Although she liked living alone, she feared too much silence; seeing the traffic made her feel there was some human presence.

This villa cost a ten-digit figure, and once Su Meixi nodded her approval, Gu Wei didn’t hesitate to buy it, writing only her name on the deed.

Though after marriage it wouldn’t matter whose name the house was under, having only Su Meixi’s name on it gave her a sense of security.

If she registered her residence there, then she would be the householder.

If they had children later, they would be registered under her household as well.

…

Leaving Feng Huang Bay, Su Meixi realized she might have fallen into Gu Wei’s trap.

The agreement was to buy the villa first, and she could live there if she wanted or leave it if she didn’t.

However, as soon as they left Feng Huang Bay, Gu Wei immediately contacted a decorating company and furniture company, asking them to add Su Meixi’s WeChat to discuss how to decorate and what furniture to buy, all up to Su Meixi.

When asked, he simply said, “Start fitting out the place, how can anyone live there if it’s not furnished?”

As soon as the decoration manager added Su Meixi’s WeChat, Gu Wei also called Assistant Bai, asking him to help recruit security and cleaning staff for the villa.

He said it was just to be prepared so everything would be ready whenever she decided to move in.

Su Meixi, being used to frugality, surely wouldn’t just let security and cleaners live in such a big villa, right? She was definitely going to live there herself.
