Gu Nianshen glanced at Lin Yiqian. Her surprised expression made his face feel even hotter.
"It… It would be my reputation at stake if word got out." Gu Nianshen intentionally lifted his chin before shifting his gaze away.
However, the phrase 'you are my wife' continued to linger in Lin Yiqian's mind.
It was very sweet of him to say that. Lin Yiqian could feel the words reverberate throughout her entire body.
"I am only worried that something sinister might be going on behind the scenes. That's why I don't trust someone else signing the contract on my behalf." Lin Yiqian sounded considerably gentler.
"Two hours. That's all you have." Gu Nianshen softened his gaze.
The way Gu Nianshen spoke to Lin Yiqian sounded as if she were a little kid whose mother had forbidden her from going somewhere to play. After some relentless begging, her mother had finally given her permission to do so.
"Oh." Lin Yiqian's eyes lit up.
