Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 153 - Gu Cheng’s First Love (1)
Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Gu Cheng’s First Love (1)
The year Gu Cheng first met Li Zhen, he was only 17 years old.
Li Zhen’s parents were key employees at Gu Group and also confidants of Qiu Yurou. That year, Qiu Yurou had sent the couple to expand the market in a certain country.
After the market expansion was completed, the couple had a plane crash on their way back to the country.
Li Zhen, due to her studies, had not returned and thus narrowly escaped this tragedy.
Out of guilt, Qiu Yurou brought Li Zhen back to the country and had her live in her home, planning to raise her as her own daughter.
That year, Li Zhen was 16 years old.
When Li Zhen first came to the Gu Family, she was naturally in a bad mood because she had just lost her parents. Qiu Yurou, busy managing the company’s affairs, asked Gu Cheng and Gu Wei, the two brothers, to talk to Li Zhen whenever they were free.
Gu Wei was younger and still at an age where playing was his main interest; he did not understand a girl’s emotions, so it was mainly Gu Cheng who got close to Li Zhen.
Li Zhen had always lived abroad with her parents, and she had schooled there too. After returning to the country, she had many adjustments to make and her studies could not keep up, so Gu Cheng took on the role of tutoring her.
Li Zhen was very fragile at that time; she often stared blankly while holding a small rabbit her parents had given her, sometimes shedding tears secretly.
Gu Cheng had once suggested to Qiu Yurou, “Mom, Sister Zhen might need a psychologist.”
20 years ago, it was not popular to see psychologists in the country, and Qiu Yurou told Gu Cheng, “No, if we hire a psychologist, Zhenzhen will feel that we do not respect her, treating her as a patient. Ah Cheng, you spend more time with her, guide her more.”
Because of this, Gu Cheng read quite a few books on psychology.
Under the guidance of Gu Cheng, Li Zhen gradually became more cheerful.
Li Zhen liked to sing, saying her dream was to become a singer.
Gu Cheng was not particularly interested in singers, but because of Li Zhen, he collected many famous domestic and international singers and bands, and often went with her to concerts, whether domestic or international.
Li Zhen became increasingly attached to Gu Cheng.
Qiu Yurou was pleased and had hopes in her heart.
She hoped that in the future Li Zhen could marry Gu Cheng, which could compensate for the regret she felt towards Li Zhen’s parents and would also bring a daughter-in-law into the family.
Therefore, Qiu Yurou would occasionally joke about them.
Gu Cheng did not have such intentions; initially, he only saw Li Zhen as a sister.
He did not want to date or marry so early; he firmly believed a man must establish his career before settling down.
At first, Li Zhen also only saw Gu Cheng as a brother. She was beautiful and had many suitors after returning to domestic schooling. She got along well with one of the boys, and Gu Cheng had seen them talking together several times.
However, one day, Li Zhen changed.
She, who had already emerged from the shadows, suddenly became melancholic again.
She intentionally distanced herself from the Gu Family members and even thought about moving back to the house her parents had lived in before they died.
It took a long persuading from Qiu Yurou before she decided not to move out of the Gu Family home.
About two months after distancing herself, her attitude towards the Gu Family members suddenly improved again.
At that time, Qiu Yurou was busy with company affairs, and Gu Cheng was also occupied with his studies; at 17, he had already self-studied all the high school courses and was preparing to enter a training camp for university selection.
Therefore, Gu Cheng neglected the psychological changes in Li Zhen.

On Gu Cheng’s 18th birthday, his family threw a party for him.
That day, Li Zhen had meticulously prepared a gift for Gu Cheng and even hugged him.
Even though Li Zhen had been living there for half a year and they had become close, being young men and women, they knew the differences between sexes, so they hardly had any physical contact.
Gu Cheng thought the hug was influenced by the special occasion, such as when people forget themselves in happy moments.
However, afterward, Li Zhen would unintentially seek physical contact with Gu Cheng.
For instance, she would cling to him to discuss problems, and then “accidentally” make some physical contact.
Or she would drink from the same cup he had used.
Or she would drop hints in her conversations.
One stormy night, Li Zhen suddenly rushed into Gu Cheng’s room and threw herself onto him, “Brother Cheng, I’m scared!”
The body of a young girl always carries a certain fragrance; Li Zhen had specifically used perfumed shower gel, and her body was soft—she hugged Gu Cheng tightly, causing some response from him.
Gu Cheng was also only 18 years old then and had never had physical contact with a woman other than his mother.
Li Zhen hugged him for a long time, her eyes tearful, even suggesting they sleep together.
Gu Cheng let her sleep in the bed while he slept on the sofa in the room.
That night, amidst the pitter-patter of the rain, Li Zhen suddenly confessed to Gu Cheng, “Brother Cheng, I think Aunt Qiu means for us to get married when we grow up. I have no problem with that, what about you?”
Gu Cheng’s heart fluttered for a moment, “This kind of thing… it’s hard to say.”
“I feel the same way, after all, we’re still young, right?”
“Yes, yes.”
After that night, Li Zhen’s style of dressing changed.
She used to dress like a typical girl, but thereafter, she would intentionally wear more body-hugging clothes that accentuated her feminine features; her body had fully developed, her breasts large, her hips perky.
She still intentionally sought Gu Cheng to discuss problems, then would specifically tease him.
Gu Cheng eventually had his heart moved; he would return home to accompany Li Zhen during the holidays, and the two even tasted the forbidden fruit.
Li Zhen’s academic performance plummeted; Qiu Yurou wanted her to study abroad, but Li Zhen was reluctant, expressing her desire to attend an ordinary domestic university, then join Gu Group and inherit her parents’ business.
Qiu Yurou vaguely sensed something was off but did not delve deeper.
Later, when Gu Cheng completed his studies and joined Gu Group, Li Zhen would often hang out there.
By then, Gu Cheng had fallen in love with Li Zhen, so he didn’t mind taking her with him.
One day, Gu Cheng discovered Li Zhen looking at his computer, even copying files; when he arrived, she immediately pulled out the USB stick, explaining she was copying her graduation thesis as she wasn’t very good at writing and was looking up others’ work online.
Gu Cheng did not suspect anything.
Because Li Zhen was assertive in the office, suggesting that doing ‘that kind of thing’ on the office desk would be a different thrill.
During that time, the office landline rang incessantly; Li Zhen urged Gu Cheng to answer, but he was reluctant as he was engrossed. Li Zhen playfully placed the receiver to his ear, and he had to lower his voice, trying his best not to pant.
The process was indeed stimulating, making Gu Cheng unforgettable.
Soon after, Gu Cheng failed in a bidding process because his bidding document had been leaked.
His initial reaction was that Li Zhen was behind it.
He wanted to investigate, but at that time, he was deeply in love with Li Zhen, a devoted person who did not want to doubt his lover.
Qiu Yurou also did not suspect Li Zhen.
Two more years passed, Gu Cheng turned 22; he was preparing for an important project—if successful, it could make Gu Group the leading enterprise in Feng City.
He was immersed in the project, naturally neglecting Li Zhen.
One night, he woke up in the middle of the night and Li Zhen was not by his side.
