Finale: He Lianchen x Gu Yuyao (1)

Timeline: Two years after Gu Xinjue's birth. 

He Lianchen might be a corporate lawyer, but he never cared too much about inheritance as long as it wouldn't affect his life negatively. That was why he didn't mind losing his chance to inherit the He family business and did not involve himself in their family issues. He thought that by distancing himself from the He family, he would avoid making his life miserable. 

He also didn't make a big deal when Gu Yuyao's grandfather asked him to marry into their family instead. He knew well that Gu Yuyao had a responsibility as she was the sole heiress of the Gu family, so he easily agreed to Elder Gu's request. Now, their son, Gu Xinjue, was expected to follow Gu Yuyao in the line of succession.
