Secretly Married to the Ice-Cold CEO-Chapter 631: Spin-off 7 Can Marriage Be Sold?

As her words fell, a wanton laugh came from the other end of the phone. After a while, Yu Zheng said, "Only a few days away from me, and Mrs. Yu is already impatient for loneliness? Then can I still go on a business trip? I’m worried."

You Lifen burrowed under the covers, oh my God, how is she going to face people?

She forcefully explained, "Don’t get any ideas. I’m not lonely; I’m just afraid you’ll find another woman out there. Otherwise, why are you being so cold to me?"

Yu Zheng finished laughing and said seriously, "I’m afraid of accidentally getting you pregnant, so I held back."

Did she think he felt good about it? He was the one suffering the most.

You Lifen didn’t expect him to say that and felt a bit moved, "Really?"

"Really."

You Lifen felt alive again. He wasn’t really being cold to her!

But... do two people have to be so careful in life? Wouldn’t it affect their relationship?

You Lifen didn’t want to think about this issue for now. Let’s get married first and then talk about these things. The most important thing now is to win over Director Yu!

The wedding came as scheduled. You Lifen invited Zhi Zhi to be her bridesmaid. Zhi Zhi arrived at the You family’s house a day in advance. On the night before the wedding, she was more nervous than the bride-to-be, You Lifen, "How are you feeling right now? The reporters will definitely ask tomorrow!"

You Lifen looked at her own home, unable to describe her feelings.

The warmth she received at home mainly came from her brother. As for her father... did her father hope she had died back then? 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Her mother died during childbirth. She knew from a young age that her father didn’t like her, more so, he resented her.

She didn’t know why, why, even though she was obedient, her father never smiled at her, why wasn’t he happy when she got first place in school?

After she grew up, she accidentally overheard the family servants saying, "When madam was pregnant with the eldest daughter, the doctor suggested an abortion, saying it was not suitable for her to carry the pregnancy. But madam couldn’t bear to part with the child and gave birth to the eldest daughter at the cost of her life through a difficult labor. The master was very sad and wanted to give the baby away, saying it was inauspicious, destined to bring bad luck to the parents. If not for the young master stopping him, who knows where the eldest daughter would be today and what kind of life she would be living."

You Lifen knew this truth. She cried in front of her brother for a whole day, saying she had killed their mother.

The teenage You Lihao already had a bit of their father’s authority. He severely reprimanded the gossipy servants and had the butler immediately fire a few people as a warning, "Anyone who dares to gossip like that in the future will meet the same fate."

However, firing the servants did no good. This matter had already etched itself into You Lifen’s heart.

Her rebellion started that year. Since her father didn’t like her, why should she try so hard to be perfect in everything?

She began causing trouble. Whether she was studying abroad or developing her career back home, she did whatever she wanted. People said the eldest daughter of the You family was spoiled, but only she knew that her father never showed her any fatherly love. Where did the spoiling come from?

She had seen pictures of her mother and knew she looked very much like her.

Because of this resemblance, her father was even more unwilling to see her. Ever since her brother took over the company, her father had lived abroad for years, ignoring her unless she caused trouble for the company, in which case he would scold her. Otherwise, he acted as though he didn’t have a daughter.

You Lifen’s rebellion didn’t make her feel much better; it just tired her brother out.

You Lihao knew the knot in his sister’s heart. He did his best to clean up her messes. Every time she caused trouble for the company, he would scold her, saying he wouldn’t help her again, but he always did. "You’re not a child anymore. It’s about time you started acting mature."

You Lifen was glamorous on the outside, but at home, she would cry her heart out in front of her brother, "Brother, I killed our mother, don’t you hate me?"

You Lihao said, "Mother gave her life to protect you. How could I hate you?"

You Lifen couldn’t stop crying. Only her brother could be so understanding of her.

She used to think that it didn’t matter if her father didn’t like her. She would eventually get married and leave this house. There would be a man in her life who loved her, and that would be enough.

When she started to gain prominence in the entertainment industry, her father suddenly remembered he had a celebrity daughter and came back to the country to watch her receive an award in person.

You Lifen was so nervous on stage that she didn’t know what to say, and her speech was a bit off. She was genuinely so happy. With tears streaming down, she choked out her speech, thanking her father and brother for their understanding and support, promising to do even better.

She thought her father had accepted her, but when she returned backstage, her father reprimanded her in front of the staff, "Your stage presence is so poor, you embarrassed the You family!"

Her father’s words pushed her into a deep abyss. Her father didn’t let her cry, "Crying after just a few words. What kind of behavior is that?"

You Lifen held back her tears and returned home. Her father told her, "The company is going to take a big share of the domestic market, and the Gu Family wants a piece of the pie. Your task is to marry Gu Yikun, no matter what means you use."

You Lifen realized the harshness of reality. Her father didn’t come back to watch her receive an award, but to give her a "task"!

She had met the president of the Gu Family. It was said that this noble and proud man was abandoned by his girlfriend, and now he was a cold-hearted demon who didn’t show any affection to anyone. No one dared to approach him.

Her father must have known this. Why would he give her such a task? Did her father see even her marriage as something he could trade away?
