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

Su Li looked around and her eyes fell on a cherry tree not far away. The floodgates of her memory were instantly opened.

That was the place where she first met Gu Jinyan. At that time, she was still a young girl, and he was already a brilliant and favored child of destiny.

"Of course I remember, at that time..." Su Li's voice was a little choked. The initial heartbeat and the subsequent despair, those dusty memories, suddenly flooded into her heart.

Gu Jinyan gently embraced her in his arms, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged." He knew how much pressure and criticism she had endured for him over the years.

Su Li buried her head in his chest, feeling his warm embrace, with mixed feelings in her heart. She once thought that she would never have the chance to be so close to him again in her life, but now, all this has become a reality.

"From now on, I will protect you well and never let you get hurt again." Gu Jinyan's voice was low and firm, as if he was making a lifelong promise.

Su Li raised her head and looked at the man who loved her deeply, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, "I believe you."

Gu Jinyan gently wiped away the tears from her eyes, lowered his head and kissed her lips. Under the moonlight, the two hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to merge into each other's bones and blood.

In the distance, a figure was hiding in the darkness, staring at the scene with resentful eyes. In his hand, he tightly grasped a glass bottle filled with scarlet liquid. Under the moonlight, it emitted a strange light...

Under the cherry tree, pink petals drifted down in the wind and landed on the ends of Su Li's hair. Gu Jinyan gently brushed them away for her, his eyes full of doting. Su Li looked up at him. Time seemed to have left no trace on his face, but instead added a bit of mature charm.

"Do you remember the first time we met? It was right here, you were..." Su Li's voice gradually lowered, and memories came flooding back like a tide, sweet and bitter.

Gu Jinyan held her hand and stroked it gently, "At that time, I only saw you."

It was a short sentence, but it contained so many unspoken emotions. Su Li's eyes were slightly moist. She thought she would never hear him say this in her life, but she didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

Gu Jinyan held her in his arms, and his low voice sounded in her ears, "I'm sorry, I have wronged you all these years." He knew how much rumors and how much injustice Su Li had endured for him.

Su Li buried her head in his chest, feeling his warmth, with mixed feelings in her heart. She used to be the envied eldest daughter of the Su family, but because of a marriage, she became what others called a "stand-in", and now, she finally got his sincere response.

"I will protect you well from now on." Gu Jinyan's voice was firm and gentle, as if he was making a lifelong promise.

"I believe you." Su Li raised her head, tears in the corners of her eyes, but she couldn't hide her happy smile.

In the distance, in the darkness, a pair of resentful eyes were staring at the scene, a mobile phone was tightly held in his hand, and a series of creepy chat records were displayed on the screen.

"I've already transferred the money to you. Remember, I want her to disappear completely!"

"Don't worry, I will handle it cleanly and won't leave any traces."

Putting down the phone, the woman laughed sadly, her laughter was full of despair and madness. Her name was Lin Wan, she was Gu Jinyan's ex-girlfriend, and also Tang Wan, whom he could not forget.

Since Su Li married into the Gu family, she has lost everything. Love, career, and even family affection were all taken away by this woman. She was unwilling to accept this and tried to redeem herself again and again, but was defeated by reality again and again.

Now, she has no other options left, with only one last bit of crazy obsession left. She wants revenge, and wants Su Li to pay for her pain!

In a few days, Su Li will attend an important charity dinner. This is her first public appearance after marrying into the Gu family, which is of great significance. Lin Wan regards this dinner as her last chance, a chance to completely destroy Su Li...

The charity dinner was approaching, and Su Li carefully selected a moon-white dress with delicate silver patterns embroidered on the hem. It swayed gently with her steps, highlighting her elegant and noble temperament. Gu Jinyan stood aside, his deep eyes always following her, as if he could never see enough.

"Are you nervous?" Gu Jinyan asked gently after tidying up the hair around her ears.

Su Li smiled slightly, "With you here, I'm not afraid of anything."

These days, Gu Jinyan clearly felt that there seemed to be danger lurking around Su Li. Although he had not yet found out who was behind it, he had already strengthened his protection for Su Li.

The dinner was held at a five-star hotel under the Gu Group. Guests gathered, toasted each other, and the elegant people showed luxury and style everywhere. Su Li took Gu Jinyan's arm and walked gracefully among the crowd, chatting and laughing, with decent manners, which won unanimous praise from the guests.

In the dark, a pair of cold eyes were staring at Su Li through the crowd, with a black pistol tightly grasped in his hand.

"The target appears at three o'clock, in a white dress." A cold voice came from the headset.

The killer calmly adjusted his stance, hid the pistol in his sleeve, and slowly approached Su Li.

Gu Jinyan keenly sensed a hint of danger. He calmly protected Su Li behind him and glanced around sharply.

"What's wrong?" Su Li noticed his abnormality and asked softly.

"It's okay, I'll go to the bathroom, you wait here." Gu Jinyan whispered in her ear, then turned and walked towards the bathroom.

The moment Gu Jinyan turned around, the killer seized the opportunity, quickly raised his pistol and aimed at Su Li's back.

"boom!"

A gunshot broke through the noise of the dinner, and the crowd suddenly fell into chaos.

"Ah! Someone fired a gun!"

Screams, exclamations, footsteps, chaos everywhere.

Gu Jinyan turned around suddenly and saw a black figure flashing in the crowd. His pupils suddenly shrank and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone. A sense of fear he had never experienced before instantly swept through his body.

"Su Li!" He shouted and ran towards Su Li madly.

In the crowd, Su Li was startled by the sudden gunshot. Before she could react, she was dispersed by the panicked crowd.

"Gu Jinyan! Gu Jinyan!" She shouted Gu Jinyan's name loudly in the crowd, but there was so much noise all around that no one could hear her shouting.

She was pushed by the crowd and stumbled forward. There was chaos in front of her eyes and all kinds of sounds filled her ears, making her feel extremely scared and helpless.

Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed her wrist. She turned back in horror and saw a strange face with cold eyes and a cruel smile at the corner of his mouth.

"you……"
