C37 adaptation to marriage

"A one million gift will definitely be delivered tomorrow. However, Ying Yue is my wife now, so I will not allow anyone to treat her with such rudeness …"

"No matter who that person is."

With that, Gu Lin pulled open the door and walked out with Ying Yue in his arms.

Behind him, his stepmother's shrill voice sounded.

"It's best if it's like this, Mr. Gu. Tomorrow, I will be waiting for the one million gift money to arrive.

As the door was pulled open and closed, all the unpleasantness was completely drowned.

The mother and daughter duo stood on the balcony as they watched Gu Lin carry Ying Yue out of the district's entrance. They then got into the luxurious looking car and left.

"Ai, this Ying Yue, I don't know what kind of seductive method she used, but she actually found someone with such good conditions. She's really angering me to death."

"Mom, what are you angry about?" Ying Wenxi then looked at the makeup mirror and said, "Didn't Gu Lin say it just now? That one million will be delivered tomorrow, when we get that one million, we won't have to worry about anything anymore."

When her stepmother heard this, she nodded her head in anger and said, "Do you have a brain? Do you think one million is a lot of money? We can't spend all of it no matter how hard we try."

"Don't worry." Ying Wenxi continued to admire himself, "Your daughter is like the beautiful face of a flower and the moon, what kind of good man can't be found, moreover, I will definitely find someone even better than that Gu Lin."

"Forget it. It's already good enough that you can find someone like Gu Lin." The stepmother sighed again. "If this Gu Lin didn't marry this damned girl …."

Halfway through his words, a brilliant plan came to mind.

"Wen Xi, what do you think of this Gu Lin?

"Mom." Ying Wenxi who was already a little impatient closed his makeup mirror, "Even if I like it, what use does it have? I'm already married, you wouldn't want your daughter to become a third party and ruin my marriage right?"

"What happened to the third person?" The stepmother shamelessly said, "Who said that the third party would break the law? Also, the most important thing is that this Gu Lin's condition is really not bad, and Mom is only thinking for your happiness. The most important thing is, are you willing to let that damned girl, Ying Yue, marry you better, and have a good life?"

His mother's words immediately stirred up the jealousy in Ying Wenxi's heart. Indeed, since young, Ying Yue had been better off than him in everything, going to a university that was better than him, and now that he was working at home, she had become a reporter with a bit of a reputation. What made him even angrier was that she actually found a rich and handsome person to marry.

Ying Yue, you have always been stronger than me. Why?

Immediately, Ying Wenxi made up his mind to snatch Gu Lin away.

"Mom." Ying Wenxi pulled up the long hair beside his ear, and shamelessly and confidently said, "Being able to turn an outstanding man into his own husband is not considered capable, but the most capable thing is, to be able to turn someone else's husband into his own man, what do you say?"

Hearing these words, his stepmother immediately burst into joy, and shamelessly hugged her daughter: "You truly are worthy to be my biological daughter, you can pass with a bit. Wen Xi, this Gu Lin is your chance, so you have to firmly grasp it. The happiness you will have for the rest of your life, as well as your mother's happiness, will all depend on you."

"Don't worry, Mom. I will absolutely not disappoint you."

Unlike the heated discussion between the mother and daughter pair, Ying Yue and Gu Lin hadn't said a single word on their way back. There wasn't much time either.

By the time they arrived at Ying Yue's apartment, it was already very late. Even Ying Yue herself was surprised, how could she be so stupid as to endure for such a long time.

"Sorry about today, but thank you." Ying Yue kept her head down as she said this. "Regarding the one million gift money, I think …"

"Yueyue, I've already agreed to this. I will definitely send it over, but I want you to know that this money is nothing to me. What I care about is you. If I don't give them this money, they will definitely make things difficult for you."

Ying Yue was still very grateful towards Gu Lin's consideration, but she felt even more worried.

Even if she gave them the one million yuan, they would still want more. In the end, it would still become an endless cycle, and Ying Yue didn't want her stepmother to trouble Gu Lin, nor did she want to drag him into it.

"I'll handle this matter." This time, Ying Yue raised her head and looked at Gu Lin with stubborn eyes.

"Whether we're married or not, this is my family's business to me, and I don't want to give you any trouble."

"Ying Yue, I know you're thinking for my sake." Gu Lin lowered his hand that was holding the steering wheel. "But just like you said, we're already married. Due to the responsibilities and obligations of a husband, I must help you handle everything. Do you remember what you said to me the other day?" "You said that after you took off your false mask, it was unbearable for me. Even if you didn't say anything, even if we didn't go to your house today, I would have already known."

Ying Yue could imagine that she was a reporter, but Gu Lin was also a lawyer. If he wanted to, he could easily find out any information he wanted.

"Then you …"

"I did it for you." Gu Lin's words were definitely forceful. Tonight, he was different from during the day. He suddenly spoke a lot more.

"Yingyue, like I said, we are already married. Since we are married, I will take responsibility for you to the end. I want to become a responsible husband who can make my wife trust me. Although we were married in a flash, we entered the marriage voluntarily and we are both trying to get used to the marriage, adapt to each other, and walk on as much as we can, right?"

Gu Lin was right, and Ying Yue couldn't find any reason to refute him.

"Gu Lin, you're right." Ying Yue nodded her head, "I will also work hard to be a good wife. Although I am not completely prepared, but …"

"I understand." Gu Lin held her hand. "Don't worry, just follow your own rhythm. Don't force yourself on anyone. This is the only request I have of you."

Ying Yue felt a little absent-minded. She had never felt such a feeling of being held in the palm of someone's hand before. Even in her last failed relationship, she had never felt such a deep sense of love, such warmth.

"Don't worry, I'll be there for you." Gu Lin held her left hand.

Ying Yue nodded again and left the car. She rubbed the ring on her ring finger as she walked back to the apartment under the gaze of the man called husband. As she rubbed the ring, she vaguely felt her heart stop.

As the sound of footsteps came from behind her, she nervously paused, her heart pounding.
