[Marriage first, love later + chasing wife + brother-in-law taking over]
Lingyao saved the life of the old man of the Gu family. The Gu family wanted to repay the favor, but she only proposed a deal.
She signed a three-year contract marriage with her grandson Gu Lin in exchange for life-saving funds.
We agreed before marriage that we would only be husband and wife on the surface, and we would settle down after the term was over.
She stayed on her own for three years and played Mrs. Gu's identity perfectly, and Gu Lin was unknowingly moved by her sincerity.
Only her brother-in-law Gu Xiao was full of resistance from the moment she walked in, but there was a paranoia deep in his eyes that even he couldn't see clearly.
It's not that Lingyao can't see it, but he's just too lazy to expose it, so he just treats him as an awkward young man who makes a few funny remarks every day to relieve his boredom.
Until Gu Lin's Bai Yueguang returned home, the way he looked at her became completely cold overnight.
After three years of performing, it was just a show.
Lingyao didn't make any fuss, packed up her things, and left Gu's house neatly: "When the contract expires, we'll settle everything."
Thinking that there would be no more relations, Gu Xiao came to visit.
She was too lazy to pay attention and turned around to leave. Suddenly her feet slipped. Gu Xiao instinctively reached out and pulled her into his arms. Their center of gravity was unstable and they fell into the soft haystack behind them.
He looked down at her who was close at hand, and said in a soft voice: "The play is over, can you consider me?"
Ling Yao frowned and broke away: "Gu Xiao, please stop making trouble."
But he chuckled, hugged her tighter, and his breath brushed against her ear: "I didn't make a fuss, I've been holding back these words for three years..."
Later, with red eyes, Gu Lin stopped her in the rain and begged her to turn back. Gu Xiao heard the sound and rushed over, protecting Ling Yao tightly under the umbrella, speaking in a firm and strong tone:
"Brother, your play is finished. Let me introduce you. She is now my fiancée."
