Lin Che was stunned. She looked up at Lin Youcai who had suddenly seemed to change.
What was he trying to do? Why did his attitude completely turn?
Gu Jingze continued looking at Lin Youcai condescendingly, “We only just got together, so I’m not in a hurry to visit her home with her.”
“Oh, but we welcome you anytime! The sooner the better,” Lin Youcai laughed loudly. “Lin Che has always been the cause of our worries. She is still young and immature. In the future, she will understand that all we have done is for her own good. Now, she is under your care.”
Gu Jingze lowered his head and held her hand delicately.
Lin Che lifted her head to follow his gaze.
Gu Jingze said plainly, “Lin Che is the purest, loveliest and most beautiful girl I’ve ever met. Being with her makes me very happy. Taking care of her is my duty.” 12
Lin Che’s heart skipped a little. 2
Looking up at Gu Jingze, she had never thought that he would help her this way.
She was extremely touched. No one had ever treated her so nicely.
Lin Youcai’s eyes flashed at Gu Jingze, gradually becoming humbled.
Han Caiying was not happy to see her husband humbling himself to a gigolo like that. It was unimaginable.
Gu Jingze began to push Lin Che, “Lin Che’s leg was injured because of the car accident. It has not healed yet and she needs plenty of rest. If there’s nothing else, I will bring her back to rest.”
Lin Youcai immediately replied, “Of course, of course. Please go ahead. Right this way.”
Gu Jingze glanced scornfully at Han Caiying one last time. As he was pushing Lin Che away, Han Caiying gritted her teeth.
What kind of attitude was that? How dare he behave so proudly in front of her?
From afar, Qin Qing watched as Lin Che left with a handsome but cold-looking man. His heart shook a little. 5
Who was that guy?
Qin Qing looked on as that man pushed Lin Che, appearing very considerate.
With curiosity on his face, Qin Qing walked towards them while overhearing Han Caiying angrily lashing out at Lin Youcai, “What the hell are you doing? Why were you all over that gigolo, grovelling at his feet?”
Han Caiying was such a disgrace.
Lin Xiangtian glared at Han Caiying, “That was no ordinary man.” 1
Han Caiying retorted, “Yeah, he looks decent, but Qin Qing is also good-looking and even richer than him.” ”
Lin Youcai snorted, “See, you didn’t even notice that he had a ring on his finger. That ring is not something you see on just anybody.”
“Ha, it’s just a ring. Why would a man be donning jewelry anyway?” Han Caiying said indignantly.
Lin Youcai replied, “You know nothing. I’ve seen that ring on someone before. He was wearing it openly on television.” 1
“Who? Which celebrity?” Han Caiying thought. Since it appeared on television, it had to be a celebrity.
Lin Youcai’s eyes narrowed, “The President.”
Han Caiying’s jaw dropped as she blurted out, “That’s impossible! Are you crazy? You must have seen the wrong thing.”
Just then, Qin Qing walked over from behind. Hearing them mention the President’s ring, he asked seriously, “Uncle, Auntie. What are you talking about? The President indeed wears a ring. Because he’s a family man, he wears a ring as his family’s symbol and he wears it everywhere he goes. Just now… Just now, that man.” 1
Was part of the Gu family? 2
Until today, there was only one person in the Gu family whose photos have never been taken before and that was the elusive Gu Jingze.
“Don’t tell me that man pushing Lin Che was Gu Jingze?”
That one sentence threw everybody into silence.
“I’m ninety percent sure,” Lin Youcai was even more certain now after hearing the same speculation from Qin Qing.
Han Caiying was unconvinced, “That’s impossible. You both are thinking too much. Just look at how slutty Lin Che is. How could she ever hook such a big fish? You think too highly of her.” 6
Of course, Han Caiying refused to believe it. It was impossible.
A beauty like Lin Li being able to marry Qin Qing was already the envy of many. 2
Why would a slut like Lin Che be able to meet such a rich and capable man? 7
She would rather die than to believe that it was true. 17
Qin Qing also felt confused, “So… how did they know each other?” 2
Han Caiying said directly, “Hmph. Even if that was him, he must only be toying with Lin Che. She has become daring now, hooking up with Gu Jingyu and now with another man. Is she so motivated after seeing Lin Li that she’s willing to sacrifice herself for money? And you still want to encourage her, Youcai? When she decides to stop fooling around, she’s not only going to offend others. She will implicate us as well.” 3
With her shoulders squared, she looked as if she was going to explode like a firecracker. 1
As Qin Qing listened to Han Caiying’s words, he looked gravely at the direction in which the man and Lin Che left. 1
People at the side were looking strangely at Lin Che and Gu Jingze.
Curious discussions filled the air.
“Who is the man going with Lin Che?”
“Indeed, I’ve never heard of him, but he is so handsome.”
“Those eyes are so enchanting, I think he’s even more handsome than today’s groom.”
Lin Li heard the discussion, but only turned around when she heard how someone was more handsome than the groom.
Lin Che was with that man?
Lin Li’s heart hardened.
This Lin Che… she definitely came with an agenda today. She was here to steal the spotlight. 2
Gu Jingze continued pushing Lin Che until they came to a spot where there were few people. Only then did Lin Che let out a sigh of relief. Looking up at Gu Jingze, she asked, “What brings you here?”
Gu Jingze replied, “There’s a happy occasion in your family. As your husband, I have to come take a look, don’t I?”
Looking behind, he could still see Qin Qing’s silhouette.
In his heart, he could not understand why Lin Che would like someone like that. He was only a pretty boy. 4
Did Lin Che like this type of man?
While thinking, Gu Jingze’s face tensed up even more. 1
Lin Che replied, “It is only my sister’s engagement.”
“And the engagement of the man you like.” Gu Jingze said in contempt. 2
Lin Che replied without hesitation, “Hey, it’s not like that.”
“Qin Qing, wasn’t that his name?” Gu Jingze looked at her.
Lin Che’s face darkened slightly. She reluctantly admitted, “That was in the past!”
“In any case, as your husband, I should be with you at an event like this.”
Lin Che said quietly, “There’s no need for that…”
“It’s alright. I’m your husband,” Gu Jingze pushed her towards the banquet area. 2
Lin Che reminded him, “Only on paper.”
Gu Jingze said, “For every day we’re not divorced, you are still the woman betrothed to me as my wife. Legally and morally. You are my wife, so I should be here.” 19
Lin Che lifted her head up. With his words, she felt warmth slowly trickling into her heart and she felt so full.
