A Limited-Time Marriage

When Wen Ning was seven, she met Gu Chixi for the first time and delivered the most over-the-top compliment of her life: "You're so beautiful, big sister. I want to marry you!" It was just a child's blurted words, and everyone burst out laughing. No one took it seriously. After that, Wen Ning was always clinging to Gu Chixi like a little shadow. Gu Chixi had been aloof since childhood and cold to everyone, but Wen Ning never got on her nerves. At twenty, Wen Ning finally worked up the courage to confess her feelings, but Gu Chixi left without a word and never contacted her again. Until seven years later... The company was facing a financial crisis and hadn't paid its employees for nearly three months. On the day the new boss parachuted in, all the staff gathered for a meeting. Wen Ning looked at the cool, composed woman on the stage, and the corner of her eye twitched. Wasn't this her childhood sweetheart who had disappeared seven years ago? After the meeting, Wen Ning was summoned to the CEO's office. She didn't hold back, asking with a bright smile, "When is President Gu going to pay our salaries?" Gu Chixi smiled too and asked, "Then when are you going to marry me?" "..."
