After the substitution marriage, I became the CEO's white moonlight

Su Li nodded, letting him hold her hand and walk out of the study.

After returning to the room, Gu Jinyan suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at Su Li, his eyes deep and focused.

"Su Li, you..."

Su Li felt a little embarrassed when he looked at her, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and looked at her with burning eyes: "After this incident, I..." He paused, and said firmly, "Su Li, I want to tell you that I like you, and I want to be with you forever."

Su Li was stunned. She didn't expect Gu Jinyan to confess to her at this time.

All along, she thought that Gu Jinyan only had Bai Yueguang in his heart, and she was just a substitute.

But now, he looked at her affectionately, with undisguised love in his eyes.

"Are you... are you telling the truth?" Su Li's voice trembled a little.

"Of course it's true." Gu Jinyan gently held her in his arms, "I was too stupid before and couldn't see my own heart clearly. It wasn't until you were in danger this time that I realized how important you are to me. Su Li, I love you, be my wife, okay?"

Su Li's eyes were moist. Happiness came too suddenly, leaving her a little overwhelmed.

She nodded gently and buried her head in Gu Jinyan's chest, feeling his warmth and love.

Gu Jinyan hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones and blood.

The moonlight poured into the room through the window, making the two people's embracing figures look particularly slender, and the air was filled with a sweet scent.

The next morning, after Su Li got up, she found that the attitude of the Gu family towards her had changed drastically.

The servants were no longer indifferent and perfunctory to her as before, but became respectful and polite, even a little attentive.

"Madam, you're awake." A young servant walked into the room carrying breakfast with a sincere smile on his face. "This is the breakfast that the master specially asked the kitchen to prepare for you. Do you think it suits your appetite?"

Su Li was a little flattered. She looked around and found that the room had been rearranged, becoming more warm and comfortable.

She finally realized that she was no longer the excluded "substitute", but the real mistress of the Gu family.

After breakfast, Gu Jinyan and Su Li went to the study together and began to discuss company matters.

"I have asked someone to investigate the financial situation of the Su Group, and there will be results soon." Gu Jinyan handed a document to Su Li, "This is the development plan for the Gu family business in the next five years that I have drawn up. Take a look and see if you have any opinions."

Su Li took the document and read it carefully.

Although she had no business experience, she had learned a lot from following Gu Jinyan during this period.

"I think this plan is very good, but..." Su Li pondered for a moment and put forward his own ideas, "I think we can try to enter the field of new energy. The new energy industry has developed rapidly in recent years and has huge potential..."

Gu Jinyan listened to her analysis carefully, his eyes full of admiration.

"Knock, knock, knock--" There was a gentle knock on the study door, and a servant walked in, with a hint of hesitation on his face, looking at Su Li and Gu Jinyan with hesitation...

"What's the matter?" Su Li put down the documents in her hand and looked at the servant.

The servant looked at Gu Jinyan nervously, then at Su Li, and said hesitantly, "Mr. Su and Mrs. Su are here again, saying... they want to see the Madam."

Su Li was slightly startled. Since the last time she had a falling out with Su's father, they had not been in touch. Now Su's father suddenly came to visit, and she didn't know what it was for.

Gu Jinyan gave Su Li a soothing look and told the servants calmly, "Please ask them to wait in the living room."

"Yes, sir." The servant took the order and left.

When Su Li and Gu Jinyan arrived at the living room, Su's father and mother were already sitting on the sofa. Both of them had serious expressions, with a hint of anxiety between their brows.

"Dad, Mom, why are you here?" Su Li walked up to them and asked softly.

Father Su raised his head and saw Su Li. A complex emotion flashed across his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He cleared his throat and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Su Li, we came here this time because we want to discuss something with you."

"What's the matter?" Su Li asked puzzledly.

Father Su looked at Gu Jinyan and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Seeing this, Gu Jinyan stood up and said to Su Li, "You chat with my parents first. I'll go to the study to take care of something."

Su Li nodded and watched Gu Jinyan leave, then turned her gaze back to Su's father and mother.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Su Li asked, with a bad feeling in his heart.

Father Su sighed, with a hint of guilt in his tone: "Su Li, we...we were wrong."

Su Li was stunned, not understanding why Father Su suddenly apologized to her.

Mother Su held Su Li's hand, her eyes slightly red as she said, "Li Li, we were bewitched in the past and listened to your sister's slander, which led us to do so many wrong things to you. Now your sister has been arrested, and we have received the punishment we deserve. We know we were wrong, so please forgive us this time."

Su Li finally understood that Father and Mother Su had come to confess to her. She felt mixed emotions, and the grievances and resentments she had felt before surged into her mind, but when she saw how remorseful they were now, her heart softened again.

"Let the past be the past." Su Li said softly, "I don't blame you."

Upon hearing this, both Su's father and mother showed relieved smiles on their faces.

"Lili, I'm glad you can forgive us." Mother Su said excitedly, "We came here this time to tell you something else."

"What's the matter?" Su Li asked.

"It's like this, your grandfather...he wants to see you." said Father Su.

Su Li was shocked. Grandpa had always been a pain in her heart.

Back then, because of her mother, she was regarded as an unlucky person by her grandfather and was sent to the countryside to be raised since she was a child.

"He...why does he want to see me?" Su Li's voice trembled a little.

"Your grandpa...he's seriously ill." Mother Su's tears flowed down her cheeks. "The doctor said he doesn't have much time left. He wants to see you before he dies."

Su Li was silent. She didn't know whether she should go to see her grandfather.

After so many years, has his attitude towards her changed? She was full of contradictions and struggles.

"Lili, please go see your grandfather." Mother Su begged, "Even if it's for us, please fulfill his last wish."

Su Li looked at Su's mother's earnest eyes and finally nodded.

A few days later, Su Li and Gu Jinyan returned to the Su family's old house together.

The Su family's old house still looks the same as I remembered, simple and solemn, but the yard lacks some vitality and seems a little deserted.

Su Li and Gu Jinyan walked into the living room and saw an old man lying on the bed. He was skinny and his face was full of wrinkles. It was Su Li's grandfather.

"Grandpa..." Su Li walked to the bedside and called softly.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, a glimmer of light flashed in his turbid eyes, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch Su Li.

Su Li quickly held his hand and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Child...you're here..." the old man said hoarsely, "Grandpa is sorry for you..."

Su Li shook her head, choking with sobs and unable to speak.

The old man held Su Li's hand and talked about some things in the past intermittently, expressing his guilt and longing for Su Li.

Su Li listened quietly, tears blurring her vision.

Finally, the old man looked at Gu Jinyan and said with difficulty: "Good boy...thank you...for taking care of my granddaughter..."
