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

As the sun sets, the afterglow falls on the courtyard of the Gu family's old house, dyeing everything with a golden halo. Su Li and Gu Jinyan stand side by side, looking at the sky in the distance, their hearts filled with emotion.

"It's finally over." Su Li said softly, with a hint of fatigue in her tone, but more of relief. This internal family struggle consumed too much of her and Gu Jinyan's energy.

"Yes, it's over." Gu Jinyan turned his head and looked at Su Li's profile, his eyes full of tenderness, "Thank you, Lili. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to this matter." He knew that if it weren't for Su Li's courage and wisdom, this storm would not have been settled so smoothly.

Su Li smiled slightly and shook her head: "You deserve all this. I just did what I should do." She believed that even without her, Gu Jinyan would be able to handle everything.

A breeze blew by, and the leaves in the courtyard rustled, as if telling the vicissitudes of time. Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand tightly, his eyes firm and deep: "Li Li, from now on, I will protect you well and never let you get hurt again..." His voice was low and gentle, with an irresistible magic.

Su Li's heartbeat quickened slightly. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly felt Gu Jinyan tighten his grip on her hand. He looked into the distance, with a meaningful smile on his face. "It seems that we still have a lot of things to deal with."

In the distance, several figures slowly approached. They were the elders of the family. Their faces had complicated expressions, some of which were relief, some were grateful, and there was also a hint of awe that was barely noticeable...

"Jinyan, Lili, there are some things we want to talk to you about..." A family elder spoke slowly, with a hint of apology and expectation in his tone. Gu Jinyan and Su Li looked at each other, and they could see a hint of understanding in each other's eyes.

The afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded, and night fell. The old house of the Gu family was brightly lit. Several family elders, Gu Jinyan, and Su Li sat in the spacious living room. The atmosphere was harmonious and solemn.

"Jin Yan, Lili, it's all thanks to you that the family has been able to get through this difficult time." A respected elder spoke first, his tone full of gratitude, "We have seen everything you have done, and it has made us look at you with new eyes."

Several other elders also nodded in agreement. They once doubted Su Li's identity and ability, but this incident made them completely let go of their grudges and were full of admiration for Su Li.

"You are too kind, elders. I am only doing what I can." Su Li responded modestly, with a hint of sincerity in his clear eyes.

Gu Jinyan held Su Li's hand, his deep eyes full of tenderness. He turned his head and said to several elders: "Don't worry, elders. I will take good care of Lili in the future and protect the Gu family together with Lili."

Hearing what Gu Jinyan said, several elders smiled with relief. They could see that Gu Jinyan treated Su Li sincerely.

After the family meeting, Gu Jinyan took Su Li out of the old house. On the way back, Su Li kept looking out the window, thinking about a lot of things. Gu Jinyan noticed Su Li's silence and asked gently, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about?"

Su Li turned her head and looked at Gu Jinyan, and said softly: "I just feel that we seem to have gone through a lot, but fortunately, we have overcome it together."

"Yes, we have been through thick and thin together, and we cherish each other even more." Gu Jinyan said affectionately. He gently hugged Su Li into his arms, "Li Li, I ignored you for too long before. I will treat you twice as well in the future and make it up to you."

In the next few days, Gu Jinyan kept his promise. He turned down all the work, carefully planned a romantic trip, and flew to the seaside city with Su Li. With blue sea and blue sky, and coconut trees, they strolled on the beach, chased and played on the beach, and talked to each other under the starry sky at night...

Su Li was deeply moved by Gu Jinyan's sincerity, and her face was always filled with a happy smile. She knew that Gu Jinyan really put her at the top of his heart.

After the trip, Gu Jinyan and Su Li returned to City A. Their relationship also warmed up and became sweeter during the trip. The family elders were happy to see Gu Jinyan and Su Li so loving. They believed that with the joint efforts of Gu Jinyan and Su Li, the Gu family would definitely get better and better.

However, just when everything seemed to be going in a good direction, Su Li suddenly felt a little unwell... The sea breeze gently brushed Su Li's cheeks, bringing a hint of salty and wet air, pulling her back to reality from her memories. The medical examination report in her hand shone brightly in the sun, and the word "pregnant" on the report was like a heavy hammer, knocking on her heart.

She was pregnant. This was the fruit of her love with Gu Jinyan. It should have been a happy thing, but at this moment, Su Li's heart was filled with anxiety and fear.

During this period, Gu Jinyan took good care of her, and their relationship gradually warmed up. Su Li could truly feel Gu Jinyan's love. However, she knew that Gu Jinyan always had a "white moonlight" in his heart, and that "white moonlight" was herself.

At first, Su Li agreed to marry in place of someone else because she thought that the person in Gu Jinyan's heart had nothing to do with her, and she could safely play the role of "substitute" and silently protect Gu Jinyan's happiness. But now, she found that she was extremely wrong, and she was deeply trapped and unable to extricate herself.

What would Gu Jinyan think if he knew she was pregnant? Would he be happy? Would he try to fall in love with her because of the child?

A series of questions swirled in Su Li's mind, making her feel extremely confused and helpless. She didn't know how to face Gu Jinyan, nor how to face the child in her belly.

Su Li walked aimlessly in the garden of the Gu family's old house. The blooming roses exuded an intoxicating fragrance, but could not dispel the haze in her heart.

She walked to the corner of the garden, sat down on a stone bench, and stared blankly into the distance.

"Young Madam, what's wrong with you?" Uncle Wang, the housekeeper, asked with concern when he saw Su Li's distraught look.

Su Li came back to her senses and forced a smile, "I'm fine, I just came out for a walk."

Seeing that Su Li didn't want to say more, Uncle Wang didn't ask any more questions. He just told her to take care of herself and turned away.

Su Li felt even more upset as she watched Uncle Wang leave. She knew that if she really decided to keep the child, she would have to face more challenges and tests.

As the sun set, the sky was dyed golden. The inspection report in Su Li's hand was particularly dazzling under the afterglow. She took a deep breath, held the report tightly in her hand, stood up and walked towards the old house.

She knew that she had to make a decision as soon as possible...
