The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage - Chapter 300

Chapter 300: Do You Not Want Me To Stay So Badly

Gu Jingze looked up and said, “There are many people at home, so we need to disinfect it. We’re all family here so it’s okay if we eat the food without disinfecting it. Granny, don’t need to worry about me. I’m fine with anything.”

Granny said, “It’s alright. We’re all family so if you have anything that you’re uncomfortable with, you must tell me.”

“No, I am comfortable. Granny, you don’t need to be so concerned.”

Gu Jingze picked up his bowl and began eating.

Actually, Gu Jingze came too quickly and Granny didn’t have time to prepare new utensils. The bowls and chopsticks were old. She could see the cracks in the bowls and they were chipped at the sides. She knew that Gu Jingze would never use such bowls back at his home.

However, Gu Jingze didn’t seem to mind it. He continued eating gracefully and was full of praise for these dishes. He said to Granny, “Granny cooks very delicious food.”

“Oh my, as long as you don’t mind it. It’s not as delicious as what a professional chef cooks.”

“No, of course it’s better than a professional’s. They are used to it and make everything taste the same. There’s no love in their food unlike Granny’s.”

“Look at that. Jingze really knows how to talk. I’m really happy to hear that. Eat more if you like it.”

Lin Che laughed and also picked up her bowl. The three of them sat there and ate the simple dishes. Lin Che ate as quickly as ever. Granny watched the two of them eat. The house suddenly became much livelier and she felt very happy.

Meanwhile, Gu Jingze still looked so elegant no matter where he was. Even if he was holding an old, broken bowl, he didn’t look poor or broken at all. He still looked like an exquisite prince with a warm smile on his face. He chewed slowly while he held the chopsticks with his long, slender fingers. His movements were slow and unhurried but he did not look awkward.

After eating, the sky was already blue. The sun had set and the sky was turning dark.

Granny kept the utensils and Lin Che quickly helped her. Gu Jingze looked all around the house.

Granny looked at Gu Jingze and smiled. She asked the question that she had been wanting to ask, “Well, Jingze, are you here to take Lin Che home?”

Gu Jingze looked up at Granny.

Granny gazed at Lin Che and looked like she couldn’t bear for her to leave. He could also hear in her tone that she really wanted Lin Che to stay.

She came all the way here after all.

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and as she turned around, he smiled and said to Granny, “Since we’re already here, we’ll stay here with you for a few days.”

Granny heard this and her face wrinkled up in a smile, “Really?”

But she was still worried. She looked at them and said, “Will you be comfortable staying here or would you prefer the hotel? It’s just that there aren’t any good hotels here for you to stay…”

Gu Jingze looked around and smiled, “We’ll stay here.”

Lin Che froze and looked at Gu Jingze in surprise.

He wanted to stay here?

This place was so tattered, especially for a person with high demands. Who knew if he would even be able to fall asleep if he stayed here?

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and repeated, “It’s okay, Granny. Lin Che and I will stay here. Since we’re already at your house, why would we go to a hotel?”

Granny heard this and was all the more elated.

However, Lin Che immediately asked, “But Granny… will this place fit all of us?”

There was only a living room connected to the kitchen here. Inside was a bedroom.

Granny quickly said, “It’s no problem. You two can stay in here. I still have a house that hasn’t been used for a long time. It used to be your mother’s.”

Lin Che looked at Granny and asked, “Mom’s house?”

“Yes. When your mother grew up, we made a room for her. It used to be a kitchen. When she was older, she wanted to live alone, so that’s how we made it.”

Lin Che said, “Then we’ll stay there, Granny.”

“No no,” Granny said. “It’s very musty as no one has lived in it for many years. Also, it’s smaller than this house.”

“That’s okay, Granny. I want to stay where Mom used to live.”

Lin Che plainly thought that the closest she could get to her mother would only be this way now.

Gu Jingze gazed at Lin Che who seemed to be lost in thought. He looked up at Granny and said, “Granny, let us stay there.”

Granny looked at the two of them and ultimately modded, “Okay. Then, I’ll go prepare the place for you.”

After a while, Granny finished packing up the house.

She actually couldn’t bear to after all this time, but she still kept it clean. She only needed to pick up some litter, sweep up the dust, and it was ready for use.

Lin Che and Gu Jingze went in.

This place was indeed smaller, but it could fit the two of them.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and felt that this place was beneath him.

After all, he was so high and mighty. He wouldn’t have gone through such suffering.

She also couldn’t bear for such a high-class man like him to stay in such a small house with her.

In her heart, he was always flawless. No matter how annoying he was, she always felt that he was the best and most beautiful person.

Thus, she couldn’t bear for him to suffer and she was adamant.

She asked, “Why don’t you go to the hotel? I saw some on the way. Of course, it can’t compare to the seven-star hotels run by your family, but at least it’ll be bigger than this place here.”

Gu Jingze frowned. He turned around and stared back at Lin Che, “Do you not want me to stay with you so badly?”

Gu Jingze’s cold eyes stared at Lin Che. She quickly said, “N-No. That’s not what I meant. I meant that this place is a little dirty and small. You… You probably won’t be used to it.”

Still, Gu Jingze turned and threw himself on the creaky bed.

He said, “I can get used to it. Come here.”

Lin Che looked at him, “But you…”

Gu Jingze leaned on the bed and said, “I can live with it for a few days. I’m not that picky. I don’t need some seven-star hotel as long as the place is clean. If I went to a hotel, Granny would feel that I’m an outsider. We are family now and staying here is not that big of a deal. Who visits relatives and still stays at a hotel? If I can stay here, I’ll stay here.”

Lin Che’s mouth was open wide and didn’t close for a long time. She looked at Gu Jingze, “You… Gu Jingze…”

She smiled and gazed at him. Once again, she thought that he was really a good and thoughtful person.

Actually, like what people said, a person of his position had no need to put himself in others’ shoes and think of their problems. However, he was always warming people’s hearts by doing just that.

Gu Jingze frowned. Seeing that she still wasn’t coming over, he gestured to her and said, “Stop talking. Come over here.”

Lin Che continued standing there shyly and did not move.

What did he want this time? Why did she have to go over?
