Chapter 2058: Collateral Damage Ex-Girlfriend vs. Blackened Current (Part 24)

As for whether or not to actually fulfill the agreement at that time.

The Crown Prince stated that in three years of the agreement, he didn’t believe he couldn’t win over a woman’s heart.

So, completely unaware of Cen Yuye’s "sinister intentions", and even if she had realized it she would have cooperated, Gu Shengyin naturally nodded: "You set a date and communicate well with Uncle and Aunt. I’ll talk to my parents here."

Although she said that, Gu Shengyin knew in her heart that it was unlikely to face opposition.

During this period, she had also visited the Cen Family twice.

Cen Yuye’s parents were very pleased with her family background and character, and Mother Cen couldn’t help but wish for them to get married soon in her words.

And over at the Xie Family, Mr. Xie and Mother Xie were very satisfied with Cen Yuye too.

Although getting married so quickly was a bit abrupt, they wouldn’t be too opposed.

Having grandchildren... who wouldn’t like that?

...

As expected, the matter of the two getting married quickly received the full approval of both families.

Half a month later, a piece of joyous news swiftly occupied the headlines of major media in Cloud Sea City.

Cen’s and Xie’s alliance by marriage!

Cloud Sea City’s most lavish business marriage in nearly twenty years!

Their wedding date was also revealed, to be in the middle of next month.

Time was tight.

But in today’s world, as long as you have money, there’s nothing that can’t be solved.

The wedding venue was set in a castle in the West.

The union of the Cen Family and Xie Family, this wedding was unprecedentedly grand in scale.

Compared to the extravagance of this wedding, a few celebrity weddings that were hyped as luxurious by the media recently...

They simply seemed shabby!

It’s not that other weddings were bad, but this wedding was simply burning money.

Does a contract marriage need to be this elaborate?

The two of them tacitly didn’t mention this matter.

For Gu Shengyin and Cen Yuye, this was the only wedding of their lives.

The contractual three-year marriage, what to do when the agreement expires after three years?

Sorry, what did you say? I don’t seem to understand.

...

This top-tier wedding of the century between the elite families was talked about with great relish by countless people for a long time.

Many people sighed that these newlyweds must be very in love.

If there wasn’t real affection, who would be willing to spend so much on a wedding?

However, no one knew... that more than half a month after getting married, the newlyweds still hadn’t fulfilled their marital duties.

After marriage, the two of them moved out of their homes and into a new house— a villa that Cen Yuye had prepared long before the wedding.

It wasn’t too far from both families, so if they wanted to visit home, they could do so at any time.

Their current situation was probably akin to both liking each other, but far from reaching the point of breaking through that last barrier.

Mainly because of the agreement, neither of them could easily break the conditions they had set themselves.

At home, Gu Shengyin would sleep in the master bedroom, while Cen Yuye slept in the adjacent room.

The two of them would commute to and from work together, enjoy food on their days off, go shopping, travel, and visit elders.

Everything a loving couple would do, they could say they had done.

Except for that final step.

Their feelings were gradually warming, yet neither had the courage to break through that layer of paper.

One could say Cen Yuye was reluctant.

Gu Shengyin had a mindset of enjoying the show—who made him use so many tactics to no avail, but to dig a pit for himself by using a contract marriage to get close to her?

The pit he dug himself, she wouldn’t fill it for him!
