Chapter 28: There’s No Answer to Why I Love You
Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Che felt as if blood had suddenly rushed to her brain, turning it to complete chaos.
It was only when his slightly cool lips brushed against hers and left behind a lingering patch of moisture that she regained her senses.
He had kissed her…
And he was still kissing her.
He daringly pried her teeth open and almost raided her of all her air, not giving her any space to think at all.
Their tongues knocked against each other and his tongue wrapped around the tip of hers. With one forceful suck, all of her blood seemed to begin flowing backward and a feeling of numbness immediately spread across her entire body.
Lin Che's eyes widened. As she looked at his perfect face in such close proximity, a fragrance embraced her. It was tinged with the heat of ambiguity and it caused her to suddenly forget her pain.
Her fingers clutched his strong hand as the heat still in his palm traveled into her hand in threads.
She did not feel an ounce of pain again until the doctor stitched her wound up.
Until Gu Jingze slowly released her lips.
Her scent was as sweet as he remembered.
After he released her lips, the remnants of desire lingered between his teeth.
It might have been the earlier spike in adrenaline that had allowed Lin Che, who had lost an excessive amount of blood, to stay awake all this while. However, when the doctor stood up and said that he was done treating her, she laid down and fainted immediately like a broken string that was released.
When Lin Che woke up, she realized that there was an expanse of blue around her. There were various types of apparatus in operation.
She froze and struggled to get up only to pull her wound below that left her feeling a stabbing pain. However, she sensed that someone was still holding her hand.
It was only then that she saw Gu Jingze laying by the bedside, fast asleep.
Her slight movement caused him to open his eyes instantly. "What happened?"
He looked at her with slight anxiousness. "Is there anything wrong with you?"
He looked a little tired. Lin Che could not help but wonder if he had stayed here accompanying her for the entire night.
Lin Che quickly said, "No, no. I just pulled on my wound slightly."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingze rushed to stand up and lifted the blanket to check her wound.
It was still tightly bandaged and probably would not lead to any complications.
He let out a sigh of relief and frowned at her. He said, "Be a little more careful. Don't move around for no reason."
In the last night, she mumbled from time to time and her groaning made him feel uneasy.
He could only hold her hand like this and stay beside her throughout the night. It was only when dawn approached that he succumbed to his tiredness by laying down and falling asleep.
Qin Hao could not bear to see him like this and wanted him to sleep in the adjacent hospital room. But each time he moved, Lin Che would grunt a few times.
Thus, he lifted his hand and gestured for Qin Hao to leave. He stayed here looking after her the entire night.
Fortunately, the doctor said that although a major artery had ruptured, the bleeding had stopped and she was going to heal with timely treatment.
However, a large amount of blood flowed from the major artery, so even though the bleeding stopped, there was still an excessive amount of blood loss, which caused her to feel very weak.
The doctor also said that it was highly dangerous for the major artery there to bleed. If not for the timely treatment, she would have likely died within a short amount of time.
Lin Che felt that she seemed to be in much better spirits as she looked around the luxurious VIP ward. If not for the excessive number of apparatus, it really looked nothing like a ward. She knew that she was probably alright now. At the same time that she heaved a sigh of relief, she suddenly remembered. "Oh no, what about my title deed and my property deed?"
Gu Jingze looked at her, dumbfounded. "I don't know."
Lin Che was shocked. "No way!"
She had tossed it aside somewhere in her moment of anxiety. How could it be that no one kept it for her?
Lin Che said, "How could this happen? It's such an important thing."
Gu Jingze gazed at her deeply. "Fine. If it was really so important, then why didn't you hug your title and property deeds tightly and huddle into a corner? You even tossed them aside and jumped on me."
He felt slightly apologetic towards her. He did not expect her to actually react that way.
Lin Che blinked. "I forgot what happened. Maybe I did it in a moment of impulse."
Gu Jingze looked at her. "Don't do it again next time. It was too dangerous."
Lin Che said, "Of course. After being taught a lesson this time, I know what to do next time. It's just because this was my first time and I didn't have experience, so I didn't know where to hide."
Gu Jingze shook his head.
Lin Che said, "Oh right. My property deed and title deed can be recreated?"
"Of course. If your name was on them, then they're yours."
"That's great." Lin Che seemed to be relieved.
Gu Jingze said, "Okay, money-grubber. Since this problem has been solved, it's time for you to eat something."
The doctor said that she could eat when she woke up, so he had already asked someone at home to make something for her in advance.
Now that she was awake, he called for someone to bring it over. However, she still wanted to move, so Gu Jingze pressed her down. "I'll feed you. Just stay still."
Lin Che looked at him with surprise.
Gu Jingze had already set down a small table. He picked up the spoon and carefully scooped out a spoonful of porridge. Bringing it to his mouth, he blew on it before bringing it towards Lin Che.
Lin Che watched his series of movements. They were smooth from beginning to end and it looked extremely good. She could not help but smile.
She opened her mouth and ate it in one bite, but subconsciously bit on the spoon.
Gu Jingze furrowed his brow. Looking at her lips, they were slightly redder than they were yesterday with a slight moistness brought out by the rice porridge. His throat bobbed and his brow turned a little more severe.
"Oh… sorry," she said vaguely after swallowing the porridge in her mouth without sensing anything different about Gu Jingze.
Gu Jingze said, "Can you eat a little more carefully?"
Although his tone was impatient, he still reached out his fingers to wipe off the porridge trickling down from the corner of her mouth.
His fingers touched her soft and tender lips. A slight feeling of numbness seemed to spread from his fingertips.
Right at this moment, his cell phone that he had placed at the side suddenly started ringing.
In response, Gu Jingze put down the bowl and looked at his cell phone.
It was a call from Mo Huiling.
Gu Jingze glanced at Lin Che before picking up his phone and walking out to answer it.
Lin Che blanked out. Watching the door close, she thought to herself, There's no need to think to know who is calling.
When Gu Jingze answered the call, he heard Mo Huiling's worried voice.
"Jingze, why didn't you come yesterday night? You didn't answer any of my calls either."
His phone had rung once during the night but at the time, Lin Che was still in a coma. Worried that it would disturb her rest, Gu Jingze immediately instructed Qin Hao to take the phone out of the ward.
Upon hearing the indignance in Mo Huiling's voice, Gu Jingze said, "Something cropped up last night, so I couldn't go."
"I don't care what cropped up, Gu Jingze. If it happened on any other day, it would have been fine. However, yesterday was my birthday. How could you make me wait for you for so long alone?" Mo Huiling started to cry again.
Gu Jingze knew that Mo Huiling was very prone to crying. However, when he heard her cry at this moment, he could not help but think that Lin Che was actually not such a crybaby. Even though she had been in so much pain yesterday to the point where her teeth were chattering and she thought that she was about to die, she did not even shed a single tear.
Gu Jingze said, "Things were really quite urgent yesterday, so I didn't go over. I'm sorry, Huiling. The next time we meet, I'll talk to you about this properly again."
"Then will you come to see me tonight?" Mo Huiling's voice weakened.
Gu Jingze pondered for a while. "I'm afraid today won't work."
Chapter 29: I Don’t Want Scars On Your Body

Mo Huiling's anger was pushed to its peak as she hung up the phone immediately.
As Gu Jingze listened to the disengaged tone through his phone, he took a moment to focus. When he saw that the doctor had arrived, he followed him into Lin Che's ward.
The doctor had already examined Lin Che's injury. The wound on her thigh was recovering well and she was going to be able to walk again very soon.
Gu Jingze watched from the side. Within the time that he went out to answer a call, she had already completely cleaned out the food. Not only that, she had even started a discussion with the doctor about how the room looked so good.
She was truly heartless and ungrateful.
Gu Jingze looked at the scar on her thigh and said to the doctor, "Can the scar on her thigh be removed?"
The doctor rushed to speak to Gu Jingze, respectfully and cautiously, "That depends on the individual's body constitution. Seeing as Madam doesn't usually have any scars, she doesn't seem to be the kind to have scars. It's possible that she will recover, but… with a scar this deep, it's likely to leave a bit of a scar."
While stitching up the wound, he had especially used a method of stitching that would not leave a scar. But now, the wound still looked jagged.
Gu Jingze did not want any scars to be left on her body. As he looked at her wound, he frowned deeply. "I hope there won't be a single scar on my wife's body. Get your best doctor to come up with a solution."
When the doctor heard this, his face paled and he quickly nodded repeatedly.
When Lin Che saw the doctor leave, she lifted her head to say to Gu Jingze, "It looks like it'll definitely leave a slight scar. But it's alright. If I'm filming I can just cover it up with foundation."
But Gu Jingze gazed at her deeply and said, "No. If this hospital can't do it, I'll look for the best doctor on earth to give you the necessary treatment. I will definitely not leave you with a single scar."
As Lin Che looked at his somber expression, she felt a slight warmth in her heart. She smiled at him and said, "Why? Will you dislike me for the scars on my body? Seriously, a wife who shares her husband's hardships must never be cast aside. Did you hear that? No matter how ugly I get, you cannot cast me aside."
Gu Jingze was speechless for some time. He looked at Lin Che and said, "Relax. I won't cast you aside. I just don't want to see scars on your body."
He did not want to see her get hurt especially because of him.
As he looked at Lin Che dressed in a striped hospital gown, he recalled her white, soft and flawless skin. He immediately felt uneasy realizing that it could become marred by such a large scar all because of him.
Lin Che moved slightly as she said, looking at him, "Or is it because you feel guilty when you look at it?"
Gu Jingze glared at her. "What nonsense are you saying?"
However, he indeed felt a little guilty.
Lin Che said, "If you really feel guilty, then treat me a little better from now on. It's good enough if you don't throw me out for no reason."
Gu Jingze froze. He recalled the day when he left her at the entrance.
His anger had been triggered only because of her overly foul mouth.
From the moment he was born, there had never been a single woman like her who was audacious enough to speak to him like this.
But right now, as he gazed deeply at Lin Che, he merely said softly, "Okay."
Lin Che raised her head in surprise. As she looked at Gu Jingze, she went into a momentary trance. What did he just say?
Gu Jingze shifted his gaze, lowered his head, and properly arranged the medicine that the doctor had given. He then started to pour water for her to take the medicine.
On the first day, Lin Che's wound was still hurting slightly but because the hospital had already used the best medicine on her, she did not feel that terrible.
That night, when it was about time, Lin Che felt a little dazed and was about to fall asleep. She looked at Gu Jingze through her narrowed eyes and asked, "What are you going to do tonight?"
Gu Jingze said, "You don't need to worry about me. I'll just sit here."
Lin Che said, "Why don't you go back and sleep?"
"No need. I'll sit here and watch over you." When Gu Jingze thought of leaving her here alone, he just felt that she would be too lonely.
After all, she was not like other people who were surrounded by their family members. She only had him as her husband.
Lin Che said, "It's really not necessary… maybe you can go outside and find a place to sleep."
Gu Jingze said, "No, there are so many apparatus here at night and you also need someone to watch over you. I'll just stay here."
"Ah… then…" Lin Che was a bit touched. She looked at Gu Jingze and then looked again at her own bed. The bed in the VIP ward was much bigger than the usual bed.
She pondered for a bit and decisively patted her own bed. "Why don't you just come up and sleep here? The bed is big enough too."
Gu Jingze's gaze flashed stealthily as he looked at the place that she had patted.
However, a slight feeling of secret delight flitted by in his heart.
As a matter of fact, he did not feel repulsed at all.
Seeing as he neither rejected her suggestion nor agreed to it, Lin Che said again, "Why? Are you afraid that I'll jump you? In that case, I'll put the pillow in the middle. The bed is so big. It's completely possible for us to sleep separately."
Gu Jingze's brow furrowed slightly. "Alright, alright. Then, we'll do just that. Let's rest early."
When she saw that he had really agreed, Lin Che quickly shifted to the side to give him space.
Gu Jingze tidied up for a bit before getting onto the bed.
They slept on opposite sides with a pillow between them.
However, Lin Che had overestimated herself. Although she lay there like this, she kept feeling like she could sense the breathing of the man beside her despite the fact that he seemed to have fallen asleep long ago and was staying completely still.
Fortunately, the effect of the medication caused her to finally fall into a deep sleep quickly.
Gu Jingze sensed that the person beside him was no longer tossing and turning and her breathing had gradually quieted down. He knew that she was probably already asleep.
Heaving a sigh, he flipped to his other side and tried to fall asleep too.
However, just when he was about to fall asleep, a leg suddenly landed harshly on his body.
Gu Jingze's eyes darkened.
This Lin Che, was her thigh not hurting anymore?
Her injury did not improve her bad sleeping posture.
To not touch her wound, he grabbed her slender thigh and carefully pushed it aside.
But then, a soft arm landed on him again.
Gu Jingze thought that unless a knife was put between them, nothing else placed there would be able to obstruct this hyperactive woman.
He carefully held her arm, turned his head, and gently placed it back.
But then, he came face to face with her quiet, asleep face.
Her red lips were bright and moist. Right now, it seemed like this hardy woman was already vastly different from the woman who was about to die yesterday. She had rapidly regained her vitality.
Then, she arched forward.
Gu Jingze paused. He sensed that her lips were already brushing his face.
If he moved a little, he would be able to touch her soft, red lips.
The moistness of her lips sent a slight shiver through his body and a jolt of electricity seemed to pass through him. Staring at her mouth, he suddenly felt his mouth go dry.
However, she once again began to move randomly. Her small lips directly brushed against his lips. A wave of dry heat made Gu Jingze furrow his brow deeply.
"Lin Che, you're playing with fire!" In a threatening tone, he spat out a warning through pursed lips, "I dare you to try moving again!"
However, Lin Che obviously did not hear his hoarse voice at all.
