After Being Fostered by My Childhood Friend's Family with a Trillion-Dollar Inheritance

Main story complete. Bonus chapters updating. At the age of four, Zhou Chiyu inherited a fortune worth hundreds of billions. His grandfather entrusted him to the care of an old friend, leaving him an orphan. Little Chiyu was a cheerful foodie, and he quickly hit it off with the younger members of the Gu family, becoming the household’s beloved little darling. But there was one person he was afraid of: Gu Yuan. Gu Yuan was the biological grandson of Old Master Gu. He had suffered from a serious illness since childhood, needed long-term medication, and could barely get around without a wheelchair. The servants warned Chiyu that he could provoke anyone he liked, but he must never provoke Gu Yuan. Looking at his handsome, aloof older brother, little Chiyu sucked on a lollipop and refused to believe the warnings. He couldn’t stand to see such a beautiful person all alone without any friends, so he swore to become Gu Yuan’s best companion. Gu Yuan didn’t like the sun, so Chiyu pushed his wheelchair out into the courtyard and told him a story about seven princesses and a dwarf. Gu Yuan didn’t like eating, so Chiyu threatened him and snuck into his bed with a kitten at night. Gu Yuan didn’t like talking, so Chiyu secretly signed him up for a fairy-tale play. Chiyu would be the little prince, and Gu Yuan would be the princess. The other children all warned him to stay away from Gu Yuan, but he refused. He spent every day by Gu Yuan’s side, becoming his loyal little sidekick. At Old Master Gu’s birthday banquet, some other children mocked him for not having a mother or father. Before the slow-witted Chiyu could even understand what they meant, a basketball suddenly knocked the boy over, and he began crying with his hands over his head. Gu Yuan rose from his wheelchair. His expression was gloomy, and his pale lips moved as he said, “Try picking on him again. See what happens.” After that, Zhou Chiyu became Gu Yuan’s very best friend in the world. But the good times didn’t last. When Gu Yuan was nine, his condition became critical, and he was sent to the United States for treatment. Zhou Chiyu cried until he was a wreck. Every night, he secretly made a wish in Gu Yuan’s bed, hoping Gu Yuan would live to be a hundred. Nine years passed in a flash. Zhou Chiyu got into Qing University and became the campus beauty, with countless admirers. One day, a friend told him that a handsome American exchange student had joined the mathematics department, a guy so good-looking it could make the heavens weep. Before Zhou Chiyu could go and see the handsome new student for himself, the heartthrob of the architecture department stopped him to confess his feelings. Amid his classmates’ cheers, the guy held out a rose and made a heartfelt declaration. Just then, a tall, handsome young man with a slim waist and long legs walked through the crowd: the legendary American exchange student. The exchange student put on a stern expression and, in full view of everyone, took Zhou Chiyu’s hand. He glanced at the heartthrob and said, “Sorry, he’s already engaged.” Everyone in the hallway stared in disbelief as gossip erupted all around them. That night, the tall, broad-shouldered Gu Yuan held Zhou Chiyu’s hand, his expression utterly tender. “How was that a lie? When we were little, you clung to me every day to play house and wanted to be my wife. Have you forgotten?” Coming soon: After Pretending to Be a Rich Tycoon’s Boyfriend Poor art student Jiang Li has graduated. Thanks to a benefactor’s recommendation, he lands a job at Hai City’s top art gallery. The benefactor calls himself Mr. L. He is a difficult patient in an art therapy charity program, aloof and suffering from severe depression. Jiang Li is the only one willing to reach out and talk to him, becoming his close friend. After starting work, Jiang Li scrapes together a loan to buy a tiny apartment, and money is tight. Just before the New Year, the gallery director asks him, “A friend of mine wants someone to pretend to be his partner over the holiday so he can deal with his elders. Are you interested?” Jiang Li hesitates. “Director, I’m afraid, ” The director gives him a mysterious smile. “The commission is fifty thousand a day.” Jiang Li perks right up. As long as he finishes the job with all his organs intact, he’s in! Soon, Jiang Li meets Song Yanmo. Song Yanmo is exceptionally handsome, has a model’s physique, and is gentle and humble. He is practically Jiang Li’s ideal type. At the Song family home, Jiang Li wanders around like he’s touring an imperial palace, amazed by everything he sees. On the first day, Song’s mother gives Jiang Li a work of art worth a million. On the second day, Song’s father gives him a mountainside villa worth tens of millions. On the third day, Song’s grandmother gives him a brand-new yacht worth hundreds of millions. Jiang Li accepts the gifts nervously and eats like there’s no tomorrow. He has to return the gifts to Song Yanmo when the job is over, but nobody can take away all the delicacies he’s eaten! When the job is done, Jiang Li obediently brings a pile of gifts to Song Yanmo. He gives him a pointed look. “I’m returning your gifts. When can I collect my commission?” Song Yanmo smiles warmly and hands him a marriage agreement and a medical history. “My family really likes you. Would you be interested in marrying me?” Jiang Li stammers a little. Looking at Song Yanmo’s deep, handsome eyes, he doesn’t even read the documents before nodding. “Sure.” It’s not like he’s the one losing out. Song Yanmo looks at the stack of medical records, and the tension in his heart finally eases. After they marry, Jiang Li discovers that Song Yanmo is not only gentle and considerate, but also very attentive to his feelings. Especially when it comes to their nighttime intimacy, Song Yanmo always helps him bathe and tidies the bed afterward. Jiang Li grew up without parents, and he gradually loses himself in Song Yanmo’s tenderness. One day, he accidentally overhears Song Yanmo talking with the designer of their wedding rings. The designer asks, “You’ve had a crush on your white moonlight for years. Aren’t you going to make a move?” Song Yanmo smiles gently. “I’ve already got him.” On the inside of Jiang Li’s wedding band, the words Mr. L are engraved. Theme: Life should be filled with sunshine
