CHAPTER 611: CHAPTER 600: THE DIVINE DOCTOR FATHER OF THE WEALTHY DAUGHTER-IN-LAW

"President Gu, what did you say?" Ye Chan widened her eyes, unable to believe that these words were actually spoken by Gu Mingting.

"I said please marry me." Gu Mingting patiently repeated, his gaze sincere.

Ye Chan confirmed she hadn’t heard or seen wrong. President Gu truly did not seem to be joking, so what could have prompted this?

The fact was, after returning home last night, Gu Mingting pondered deeply, wanting to find a woman from his surroundings who satisfied him in every aspect. After thinking it over, he felt that Ye Chan was the best choice.

Why did he feel so?

First, he thought Ye Chan was very rational, as could be seen from her first marriage, not only rational but also decisive. So, there was no need to worry about any disputes if they were to divorce later. Second, she was his subordinate and also a good friend of Mingmei, bringing her to meet his grandfather wouldn’t arouse any suspicion. Third, Xiao Hao also really liked him, and since his grandfather asked him to treat Xiao Hao well, he couldn’t bring back a woman Xiao Hao didn’t like. Considering all these, he felt Ye Chan was the most suitable.

Gu Mingting listed these reasons, then looked earnestly at Ye Chan: "I know marriage is very important to a woman, but as long as you marry me temporarily, I will compensate you with shares in the company. Of course, if you think our marriage can last, we can also remain married and after ten years, I will transfer half of my real estate to you."

Listening to his words, Ye Chan had ten thousand retorts, but found this kind of boss somewhat endearingly foolish.

"President Gu, you’ve seen my capabilities. Don’t you think I can bring more value as your employee than as your wife?" Ye Chan said, holding her patience.

Gu Mingting looked at her with a puzzled expression: "I didn’t say you’d have to quit your job after getting married. Don’t worry, I won’t treat you like the Li family, who do not give you a salary, and as my wife, you’ll even receive a large amount of pocket money every year."

He roughly estimated, "The pocket money will be higher than your current salary, meaning you can earn two salaries each year."

These conditions were indeed tempting, making Ye Chan want to retort more: was President Gu proposing a marriage or making a business deal?

"President Gu, I’m not short of money," Ye Chan said wearily.

"I know you aren’t short of money, but more money is always better, isn’t it? Ye Chan, you’re the most suitable person. We don’t even need to have a marital relationship after getting married. Why wouldn’t you accept such a good deal?" Gu Mingting was baffled, looking at her as if she’d be at a great loss if she refused.

"President Gu, marriage shouldn’t be used as a transaction," Ye Chan spoke profoundly, after all, he was her boss, she couldn’t be too blunt.

"But I see in the news, many people demand a dowry from the bride’s side and a betrothal gift from the groom’s side, isn’t that a transaction?" Gu Mingting thought he was being reasonable, so he used this fact to counter Ye Chan.

Seeing Ye Chan still wanted to argue, Gu Mingting added, "I heard that you’ve recently been harassed quite a bit by Li Chengyu from the Li family? Marry me and he definitely won’t dare to pester you again."

Alright, hearing this, Ye Chan indeed felt somewhat tempted, but just because she didn’t want to be pestered by Li Chengyu, should she marry? No, there was also the substantial compensation.

Now thinking about it, she realized that marrying Gu Mingting was actually quite good. She trusted her boss’s character; he wouldn’t go back on his words, and having been through one marriage, she felt that a marriage with conditions set beforehand was more stable than marrying for love.

Of course, the main reason was still her dad. Although her father hadn’t said it explicitly, she knew her father hoped she would find a confidant.

President Gu had good character, was handsome, and wealthy. What reasons did she have to refuse him?

"What do you think? Do you agree that I am a good choice?" Gu Mingting subconsciously puffed out his chest.

Ye Chan felt like laughing, not expecting the big boss to have a narcissistic side, nor did she expect him to be so talkative outside of work.

"Yeah, that’s pretty good." She nodded with a smile, but was already laughing like crazy inside.

Gu Mingting felt something was off, silently watching Ye Chan, yet found nothing unusual, unconsciously pursing his lips, an action very similar to Gu Hao’s. Ye Chan softened her gaze involuntarily.

Feeling her gaze, Gu Mingting felt a bit uneasy and coughed lightly: "So, you agree?"

"Yes, I agree." Ye Chan nodded.

Gu Mingting sighed in relief: "Good, tell me your ring size, I’ll order it now, and once it’s ready we can go meet grandfather."

"Isn’t this too fast? Wouldn’t your grandfather suspect that I was hired by you?" Ye Chan countered.

"What should we do then?"

"Instead of us telling him upfront, it’s better if he discovers it himself, which will be more convincing."

"But grandfather is hospitalized, how can he discover it himself? Should I just wave my ring in front of him?" Gu Mingting frowned.

Ye Chan narrowed her eyes: "We still have Mingmei!"

Realizing this, Gu Mingting then looked at Ye Chan with an eye that said ’you’re quite cunning’, and Ye Chan was choked up again.

Since Ye Chan moved, Li Chengyu had changed his route and was already waiting downstairs of the Gu Building after work, still holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

Everyone was familiar with him, especially after Ye Chan became the general manager of Gu Pharmaceutical, their story had already spread throughout the company. Through Secretary Li, everyone also knew the reason why Ye Chan and he divorced.

But his relentless waiting these days had softened many people’s hearts, especially men, who felt it’s inevitable for men to make mistakes, and since he was trying so hard to make amends, why not give him a chance?

However, whenever this was mentioned, it would provoke a fierce "Pah!" from the women inside the company.

You guys are so soft-hearted, I hope you can forgive your women if they cheat on you in the future!

Thus, whenever Li Chengyu was waiting downstairs, he received scorn from the women and encouragement from the men.

Li Chengyu maintained his dignity and smiled nodding his head in greeting to everyone. Seeing his good attitude, the women did not want to show him disdain directly and just walked away from afar, while some male colleagues would joke and pat each other on the back, whispering "Bro, keep it up."

Li Chengyu watched the exit with a deeply affectionate gaze.

Usually, Ye Chan would leave through the underground parking, or work until late at night, but today was different, she too had a fiancé now, one who could support her and prevent Li Chengyu from bothering her.

Ye Chan was in a good mood, linking her arm through Gu Mingting’s as they walked out of the elevator, and smiled while nodding in greeting to the surprised colleagues.
