Gu Danyu's mind was abuzz with calculations.
"Of course, you can." After readily agreeing, she added, "But... I can't always occupy the identity of your fiancée, can I? Let's make it a three-year term."
In three years, she had enough time to torment that dog couple to death and revitalize the company. After repaying the debt of gratitude, she would then take her parents on a global tour....
Lu Yancheng looked down and caressed the engagement ring on his hand, "Okay."
Assistant Yan, utterly inconspicuous at the side, internally screamed in panic after hearing the whole agreement.
President Lu, snap out of it!
Is he inviting the notoriously arrogant and willful Young Miss Gu to clash with those few domestic demons at home, craving for even more chaos?
Foreseeing the tumultuous days ahead, he decided to stock up on more boxes of Fast-acting heart-saving pills as soon as he returned.

The soft and bright lights gradually dimmed; the engagement banquet was about to begin.
Just as all eyes were on the couple standing side by side on the stage, two figures slowly walked in from the outer hall.
Gu Xinyue had already changed into a clean evening dress, her expression serene as if the earlier incident had never occurred. Only her phoenix-like eyes, venomous like a serpent's, clung tightly to the stunning profile of the woman on stage.
Gu Danyu... Clearly, she was arrogant, rude, and stupid to death. Aside from being the birth daughter of those two, in what way was she superior to herself?
Why was she able to establish connections with an elite existence like the Lu Family? How could she so easily obtain what she had longed for in her dreams!
"Yue'er?"
Gu Xinyue pulled her thoughts back, meeting the puzzled gaze of the man beside her. She hurriedly loosened her grip, "Sorry, Big Brother Haotian, did I hurt you?"
She bit her lip, looking somewhat downcast, "I, I'm just so happy to see my sister's happiness."
Ji Haotian frowned and looked toward Gu Danyu on the stage. This glance unexpectedly made him unable to avert his eyes.
She had changed from her previously sloppy appearance, her red dress elegantly draping her figure, her facial features delicate, exuding a cool and serene temperament. Side by side with the handsome and noble man, they looked incredibly well-matched.
Ji Haotian suddenly felt dazzled and uncomfortable. So Gu Danyu was actually so beautiful.
Why didn't she say so?
"Big Brother Haotian, now that my sister has a fiancé, she should no longer bother you, right?" The soft feminine voice by his ear interrupted his train of thought.
Suddenly recalling Gu Danyu's past obnoxious clinginess, he pulled his gaze away in disgust. So what if she looked good? With her malicious and vulgar heart, how could she compare to Yue'er?
"Yue'er, don't worry. I will get justice for what happened earlier," he reassured her.
Gu Xinyue lowered her head, "Big Brother Haotian, maybe it wasn't intentional on my sister's part."
The man sighed, "Yue'er, you're too kind."
Amidst their deep affection, the engagement banquet was also drawing to a close.
Gu Danyu, after dealing with several toasts from guests, impatiently found an excuse to slip away.
Two persistent followers immediately trailed after her from a short distance. Noticing the movement behind her, Gu Danyu's eyes deepened as she intentionally chose a more secluded rest room.
Trapping someone had always been her forte!
As soon as the woman stepped into the room, the next second, a man followed, leaning against the door frame.
Looking at that familiar face, Gu Danyu hid the coldness in her eyes and smiled with a tilting lip, "Ji Haotian, won't you come in and talk?"
Faced with the woman's enchanting smile, Ji Haotian was momentarily distracted, walking in befuddled.
