Chapter 54: Come Over and Massage Me
Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingyu, "How is Mr. President like? Is he good or bad?"
Gu Jingming turned out to be his brother. Lin Che thought he should know.
Gu Jingyu pondered for a while. He smiled and said, "Well, if you think about it, if he managed to take the position of the president, how simple can he be? That guy's heart is as cold as his appearance. He's a big bad wolf who will do anything for power!"
"Huh?" Lin Che was shocked to the bone. The President seemed rather nice on television.
Gu Jingyu looked at her and laughed loudly. This Lin Che could be so silly sometimes.
"Okay, I was pulling your leg. He's actually pretty normal. He's just more of a loner. Hm, he's a little weird, a little difficult to handle, a little hard to get along with, a little…"
"All of you in the Gu family are the same kind…" Was he not like Gu Jingze?
"Hey, what do you mean by all of us? Am I hard to get along with?"
"Oh, no no…" Lin Che almost slipped her tongue as she laughed dryly.
Lin Che tried to call Yu Minmin again but no one picked up. When she called again, the phone had been turned off.
Lin Che's heart panicked a little. However, she had no other choice. She wanted to get up and take a look but realized that the entrance had been locked shut. She could only think about what to do as she went back. Yu Minmin was an adult anyway. She would not get lost.
When she got home, she quickly looked for Gu Jingze. Although she had been avoiding him recently, she had no choice but to get his help this time.
"Gu Jingze, how is your relationship with Mr. President?" Lin Che asked urgently the moment she entered.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che, "We are brothers. What do you think?"
Lin Che continued hastily, "My manager has gone missing since lunch. I can't find her anywhere. I would like to ask for your help to search around and maybe ask Mr. President if she had entered there. The security is tight up there so I couldn't go. I'm afraid that she might have been mistaken for a bad person and his security guards might have apprehended her."
So that was the issue.
Gu Jingze had been busy with work recently. However, looking at Lin Che made him remember that he had not seen her for a few days.
Whenever he was home, she was either still out or staying overnight at the set. The next day, she would leave as early as possible. Now that he thought about it, she seemed to be even busier than himself.
Gu Jingze asked, "Have you been very busy lately?"
Lin Che was taken aback. Looking at his faint expression and discerning gaze, he seemed suspicious. She dared not to tell him that she was deliberately avoiding him.
Lin Che rubbed her ear, "Oh, yes. I have been busy filming and preparing for the promotion. Why?"
Gu Jingze put his hands on the table as he hoisted himself up and looked at Lin Che, "Are you asking for my help?"
Lin Che nodded, "Yes."
"If I help you, how are you going to thank me?"
Lin Che snorted and said, "How would I know? You are rich. You can get anything and everything you want. There's nothing I can give you."
Gu Jingze smiled and gestured for her to come over.
Lin Che bowed her head and went over in a few quick steps.
Gu Jingze asked, "Do you know how to massage?"
"Huh? No."
Gu Jingze frowned, "You don't know how to do anything. What kind of wife are you?"
"Must I know how to perform so many tasks to be a wife…" Lin Che said quietly.
Gu Jingze replied, "Of course. What's the point of having a wife?"
"To spend your money. You earn too much. If I don't use your money, how will you be able to finish spending it all?" Lin Che answered shamelessly.
Gu Jingze looked at her, "I knew you'd come up with such a warped answer. Come, massage my shoulder for a bit. Ask me nicely and I might just consider your request."
Lin Che looked at his proud expression and said hatefully, "What a wicked capitalist you are. Making use of a poor citizen like me."
Gu Jingze said, "Of course! It's justified. I have to call up Gu Jingming who is the president. You think any normal person would be able to do that?"
He made it sound like it was such a big deal. Was he not just his brother?
Lin Che snorted in contempt, but seeing Gu Jingze tilt his head expectingly and waiting for her service, she could only force herself to walk behind him.
Her hands began to press his shoulders.
His shoulders were broad. Tracing the fabric, she found his muscles and used her strength to press them.
Unknowingly, he took off his shirt to reveal his fully ripped body. His triangular figure could really make a person's nose bleed.
Her heart grew hot. Looking at the back of his head, her mind began to wander.
She wondered what shampoo he used. His thick, black hair was so clean and smelled so good.
Honestly, an elegant man looked good at any angle.
The back of his head looked so good.
Gu Jingze said, "Go on, why did you stop?"
Lin Che snapped out of it. To think she actually got entranced by the back of his head.
She continued pressing and said, "Your shoulders are so tense. Are you usually so busy with work?"
Gu Jingze replied, "Of course. As a husband, I have to carry the household on my shoulders. Wouldn't they be tense?"
Lin Che burst with laughter.
Upon hearing her laugh, Gu Jingze laughed too.
Her small hands had no strength at all. When she pressed, he could feel her trying her best, but he did not feel relaxed at all. In fact, he felt his shoulders tense up even more.
Because her hands were too weak, it made him not want to be pressed.
However, he did not want her to let go. Feeling the gentle squeeze, he smiled and said, "Okay, since you were so sincere, hand me the phone."
Seeing Gu Jingze finally give in, Lin Che hurriedly handed the phone to him.
Gu Jingze made the call, but it did not get through.
Gu Jingze said, "Someone is busy."
Lin Che's petite face fell.
Seeing her worried expression, he did not want to agitate her, "Let me try contacting his secretary."
"Ah, really? You're too nice, Gu Jingze," Lin Che's face immediately blossomed.
Gu Jingze smiled at her, picked up his phone, and tried again.
This time, it went through.
"I couldn't get through to Mr. President. Is he busy?"
On the other end of the line, someone said quietly, "Second Young Master, Mr. President is already asleep."
"Asleep?"
"Indeed."
"Oh, okay then. Can you help me check if you guys had apprehended a drunk woman today?"
"Second Young Master, we have not."
"Alright, send my regards to Mr. President."
"Yes, Second Young Master. I will let him know first thing tomorrow. Is there anything else I can do for you, Sir?"
"That will be all."
He put down the phone and turned to Lin Che who was full of anticipation. He told her, "They did not catch anybody. You can relax. Your manager must have gone home herself."
Lin Che heaved a sigh of relief, "That scared me to death. I thought I would be finished if I offended the president."
Gu Jingze laughed, "Since when were you such a scaredy cat? You dared to insult me, yet you're scared of the president?"

Lin Che immediately objected, "Since when have I insulted you?"
"You drugged me… Don't you think you're lucky that you're still able to stand here in front of me?" Gu Jingze raised his brow.
Now he felt appalled at how he fell for something so cliché.
Lin Che knew what he meant and her face blushed, "I… We don't know who's the unlucky one yet! I was fine by myself but my freedom got stolen and I suddenly became somebody's contract wife. I still have to face you daily and tolerate your weird temper!"
Gu Jingze's face sank.
She still felt wronged.
Suddenly, he got up and took a step forward. He hovered over Lin Che's petite face and looked at her chin. He reached out to hold it and said, "Come again?"
His icy breath mixed with his cologne as he got close. Lin Che was scared. Feeling the warmth of his hand, she looked at his face which became unreadable. Looking at him stiffly, his lips were right in front of her. If she made any movement, she might just touch them.
Lin Che quickly pulled his hand away, "Get off me. You're too close. It's getting hot."
Her face was hot to the touch. She could not stand it any longer. She stomped on his foot and squirmed her way out from his side. Without turning back, she ran out.
"Ouch…" Gu Jingze winced in pain.
This damned Lin Che… she really used all her energy.
Gu Jingze frowned at her back, "Well done, Lin Che. As soon as you've made use of me, you're turning your back on me?"
Lin Che pretended not to hear. She ran into her room and slammed the door shut.
She took deep breaths and patted her own chest.
That stupid gangster was provoking her again.
She had not calmed down when she could hear Gu Jingze's voice right outside.
He still had work to do but after all that ruckus with her, he could not calm down either. He followed her to the bedroom.
Lin Che refused to let that gangster in. Leaning against the door, she locked it and said, "You can sleep in the other room."
Hearing what she said, Gu Jingze replied sadly, "Why do I have to sleep in the other room?"
"It's not like you haven't done that before. Anyway, I'm dead tired and I don't want you to disturb me."
She was already getting used to it.
He replied, "This is my bedroom. I can sleep in here if I want to sleep in here. Open the door."
"No. I just offended you. Who knows what you'll do to me," Lin Che was finding excuses to not let him in.
Gu Jingze huffed, "You're offending me even more now."
"Since you're already offended, a little more won't matter."
"Fine, Lin Che. In that case, aren't you afraid of me taking revenge? Your show will never be played and the company will kill you off quietly…"
"What?" Lin Che panicked, "Gu Jingze, you're not that unreasonable. We promised not to meddle in each other's affairs after getting married."
"I have done more unreasonable things than this. Don't forget that I'm a capitalist," Gu Jingze snorted.
Lin Che mulled over it and then slowly opened the door a little bit.
Little did she expect Gu Jingze to instantly push open the door with his huge palm. Lin Che stumbled a few steps back, shocked. Gu Jingze looked and quickly stretched out his arm to grab her waist, pulling her back to her feet as she almost fell.
Lin Che let out a sound and she realized that her face was pressed to his face. She felt her face rapidly burning up as she looked at his characteristically thin lips. Her throat was hoarse and she could not utter a word.
She panicked and quickly pushed Gu Jingze away. Gu Jingze frowned as he immediately grabbed her wrist.
He stared into her eyes as she tried with all her might not to look back at him. He got more upset as he pulled Lin Che up, "Lin Che, what are you doing? I feel like you've been trying to avoid me recently."
Lin Che was stunned.
He had realized?
"I… I'm not avoiding you," she struggled to get loose from his grip.
Gu Jingze's grip was tight, "Not avoiding me? Then why aren't you looking at me or even chasing me out?"
Lin Che turned around, "No way. You're just being paranoid."
Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che towards him, his slender fingers pinching her cheek and forcing her to look at him.
"Then look me in the eye and tell me you're not avoiding me."
Lin Che raised her head and stared into his deep-set eyes. Her lips moved but nothing came out.
The truth was that she had been avoiding him because each time she saw him, she felt her body grow hot.
She quickly said, "I'm really not avoiding you. Let me go." She forcefully pried his hand open.
Gu Jingze became more vexed. Looking at Lin Che turn away, he followed close behind and asked, "What's going on with you, Lin Che?"
"What do you mean what's going on with me? There's nothing going on. I've just been busy lately."
"Then why did you shut me out?" Gu Jingze naturally did not believe her.
"Because I… don't feel comfortable sharing the same room with you. Besides, our marriage is a fraud. If anyone were to ask, we'll just say that our honeymoon period is over and we're both busy. So sometimes, we sleep separately. There's nothing wrong with that."
"Lin Che…" a bad feeling suddenly came over Gu Jingze, "Are you avoiding me because you have fallen for someone else?"
It just did not make any sense to Gu Jingze.
Lin Che froze.
She did not even think of something that far-fetched.
Since he already brought it up, Lin Che played along, "It's not that I like someone else, but I'm going to have a boyfriend sooner or later. I might as well be abstinent now so I don't waste a good part of my youth."
She thought, It was indeed time she got a boyfriend. Growing up, she had never liked nor got close to any guy other than Qin Qing.
So looking at Gu Jingze then, she felt all tingly.
She must have been so overwhelmed by hormones that she became so boy-crazy.
Gu Jingze's brows knotted and light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Lin Che's moving lips. He suddenly felt an impulse.
Swiftly, he took a step over.
One hand held her shoulder while the other braced the back of her head. He went for it and bit her red lip.
His tongue swept over her lip and almost subconsciously slipped into her mouth.
Lin Che was stunned. She felt his cool, slippery tongue invade her own mouth. For a moment, she was frozen.
Gu Jingze was sucking her soul away as he sucked on her tongue and brought it into his mouth. Their lips were locked.
