Yu Minmin walked out together with Lin Che. As they were walking, Yu Minmin said, "Luckily, your performance this time was not bad. You shouldn't have any problems."
Lin Che said, "This Lin Li really seizes every chance to do evil."
Yu Minmin smiled as she looked at her. "Aren't you sisters?"
Lin Che said, "That's enough. The Lin family doesn't even remember that they still have me as a daughter. You've been with me for such a long time so you should know this too."
Yu Minmin smiled and looked at Lin Che. " I really don't quite understand the ways of you rich people. Our family members are just civilians. It's good enough if I send money into my mother's account every month for daily necessities and provide for my brother's education."
Lin Che said, "What civilians? I'm a civilian too."
Yu Minmin said, "Alright. Both of us are part of a generation that doesn't have any backing and must depend on our own hard work. Still, you should be in a much better situation now. Look. Gu Jingze treats you very well and your career is on the rise."
Lin Che, "Oh, please. Still, it's only my career that's reliable. As for men…"
"Why, I think Gu Jingze is very reliable too."
Lin Che said, "He just has a greater sense of responsibility towards me right now."
"Responsibility?" Yu Minmin asked in a perplexed tone.
Lin Che said, "Anyway, it's a very complicated matter. Forget it. I'll take it one step at a time. In any case, I have to work hard at my career."
Yu Minmin said, "That's right. It's still your career that's the most reliable."
"You can only hold money in your hand!"
Yu Minmin smiled and looked at her extremely silly manner.
Lin Che did not expect that the next day, a video of her on the show would immediately be posted on the Internet by a netizen at the scene.
In the video, she knocked the heel of her shoe off cleanly before properly putting on the ruined shoes again and continuing the program as if nothing had happened.
Everyone felt that in doing this, Lin Che was very professional. Furthermore, her actions were extremely charming.
It made one involuntarily think about how tough this girl was. She was beautiful but did not have an ounce of pretentiousness or affectation, and was very easygoing.
The fan count on Lin Che's Weibo page continued to surge.
There were already thousands of comments on her latest Weibo post.
At home, Lin Che surfed her Weibo for the most part of the day. She kept looking at those comments and felt her ego swell to a large extent.
News of that day was published very soon. The headline was that Lin Che and Gu Jingyu had participated in the program together and had continuous sparks of chemistry throughout the filming. Gu Jingyu dashingly protected Lin Che and Lin Che worried about being attacked by his fans.
Compared to all the female actresses who went on that day, Lin Che was really the one with the most exposure and the largest piece of news among them. The company was very satisfied and said that the director had personally praised Lin Che and said that she had a lot of potential in the future.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che resting on the couch with a silly smile. He walked over and said, "What happened?"
Lin Che said proudly, "I suddenly feel that I have the potential to become famous. Look! The number of fans I have now has already hit a few million."
"Really?" Gu Jingze swept his eyes over it and smiled. He felt that she was really easily satisfied.
"Jingyu's fan count has probably hit tens of millions."
"…" Lin Che raised her head. "Gu Jingyu is a super A-list celebrity, alright? I'm just a rookie."
Lin Che returned to the room and prepared to sleep. But then, she realized that the wardrobe in the room seemed to have just been organized.
She opened the wardrobe, took out her pajamas, and went to the bathroom for a shower. It was only after she showered did she realize that this piece of clothing was a little strange.
She only noticed when she looked in the mirror that the pajama was nearly half-translucent…
Lin Che yelled glumly towards the outside, "Gu Jingze, who bought these pajamas? Why are they so weird?!"
Gu Jingze said, "How is it weird?"
Lin Che said, "Anyway it's just… very weird…"
Gu Jingze frowned. He opened the wardrobe and took a look before shouting back, "I think they're new clothes sent over by Mother from home."
"…" Lin Che said gloomily, "Your Mother's taste is too wicked. Why did she send over such sensual clothes…"
"Perhaps she really wants to have grandchildren sooner…" He smiled and said.
"…" Lin Che looked dejectedly at herself in the mirror. "Help me get another pair of pajamas!"
Gu Jingze looked at the various pajamas. Every piece really had its highlight. It made him a little curious involuntarily. He did not know how exactly these pajamas, which were full of temptation, would look on Lin Che's body.
After looking all of them over, he still did not find a normal pair of pajamas. It looked like his mother had made up her mind this time to properly bring the two of them together. This was the reason why she had sent over such piles of clothing.
Gu Jingze said, "There's no wearable clothing."
"Then what should I do…" Lin Che thought for a bit before saying, "Lend me your clothes first so I can wear them."
"Mine?" Gu Jingze said, "Just put up with it and wear it. What part of your body have I not seen before?"
"I don't want to. Don't worry. After I wear it I won't return it to you. You have so many clothes that you haven't worn before. It's no trouble for you to lend me a piece anyway."
After a short while, Gu Jingze knocked on the door from outside. Lin Che carefully opened a sliver of the door. Inside, the mist from her earlier shower traveled outwards languidly and was accompanied by the fragrance of her body wash. Gu Jingze looked at her face, which was covered in two red patches after her shower. Her face triggered his sense of protectiveness like a baby's face would and he could not help but feel his body jolt.
Lin Che did not notice his strange behavior. She tugged the clothes and closed the door in a hurry.
In no time, she changed her clothes and walked out. Lin Che was smugly dressed in his roomy clothes and said cheerfully, "I'm still the smart one."
Upon hearing the sound, Gu Jingze turned his head. Immediately he saw a white mass drift by. Lin Che was wearing his pajamas. It was huge and bloated as well, making her body appear even more delicate and small. The sleeves were too long so they were rolled up. The white expanse of her arms swayed back and forth like the roots of a lotus. The collar was too wide, so the dazzling white of her collarbones underneath and her uncovered chest could vaguely be seen.
Instantly, Gu Jingze turned his head away. His Adam's apple was faintly moving back and forth.
Naturally, a woman wearing a man's pajama made one feel that the relationship was very ambiguous.
It very easily made one think many strange thoughts.
Gu Jingze turned his head. "Lin Che, change back into your own clothes."
Lin Che turned her head in astonishment. "Why?"
"I'll get someone to buy you clothes." He stood up as he said this. He did not look at her enrapturing body as he opened the door.
Lin Che curled her lip. "But I won't ruin it by wearing it. Alright, alright. Since you don't like it, I'll just return the clothes to you."
Lin Che said, "But if you get someone to change the clothes, wouldn't Mother find it weird and suspect our marital relationship?"
After all, if they were husband and wife, wearing clothes that were translucent should not be a big deal either.
Gu Jingze glanced at Lin Che and walked over. He said lowly, "I have a way to dispel their suspicions."
Lin Che looked at him in confusion. The corner of Gu Jingze's lips lifted at once. He directly picked up that translucent piece of clothing belonging to Lin Che. The moment he exerted force with his two hands, the thin fabric easily ripped apart.
Lin Che's face turned completely green.
Gu Jingze opened the door and said, "What clothing is this? With one tear, it's ruined. Help change Madam's clothes to sturdier ones."
He placed the completely torn pair of pajamas aside. A few maids could not help but stare speechlessly at one another as they looked at it.
Was the clothing unable to bear the excessive excitement?
Behind them, Lin Che's face was completely red.
This damned Gu Jingze…
The maids quickly retrieved a normal pair of pajamas. They swept their eyes over them with completely teasing gazes. It was as if they were saying, you two were really a little too passionate…
The door closed before their eyes.
Lin Che glared fixedly at Gu Jingze whose face was entirely calm.
Gu Jingze raised his eyebrows. "Why?"
Lin Che stomped her foot in his direction. "Hmph."
She then grabbed the pajamas and hurried inside.
As he watched her go in, Gu Jingze smiled with his lips pressed together.
However, he could not help but feel a little regretful as he gazed at those pajamas in their various colors and styles.
She had a very nice figure. She would probably look very good in these clothes.
Gu Jingze picked up the clothes and looked at them slightly wistfully. However, he heard the door open noisily in an instant before Lin Che came out from inside.
After changing her clothes, Lin Che finally heaved a sigh of relief.
The pajamas she was wearing was a long linen gown. It did not show off her figure at all and she looked like a water bucket.
Lin Che thought that it was terrific.
Gu Jingze threw down the pajamas and lifted his head. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the clothes on Lin Che's body.
These maids… what clothes did they get for her?
Lin Che returned to the bed comfortably. After sitting down with her legs crossed, she carelessly picked up a nail clipper and began trimming her toenails.
Gu Jingze looked at her with his face completely dumbfounded.
Lin Che's soft and white legs were crossed. In the middle of her legs, a sliver of her white underwear could distinctly be seen. From such a small sliver, he could see her triangle-shaped underwear, which was laced with a thin floral border. It had cut into her flesh slightly and left some marks. Her legs were intertwined and Gu Jingze could not help but walk a few steps closer to her. He felt gloomy as he looked at her indecent actions, but he could not help but shift his gaze towards her. How he wished she could move again. That way, more of the soft flesh underneath would definitely be exposed.
After she was done with her toenails, Lin Che grabbed her feet and blew on them. When her feet were lifted up, her flesh inside was even more greatly exposed.
Gu Jingze felt a surge of arousal in his lower abdomen and finally could not bear it any longer.
"Lin Che, can you sit even slightly like a woman?!"
Lin Che lifted her head. "What did I do?"
"What did you do? Do you want to know?" Gu Jingze lifted his eyebrows.
Before Lin Che could even react, Gu Jingze had already walked up to her.
He lowered his head and placed an arm on both sides of her. He encased her thin and small body in his embrace and seemed inches away from pushing her down.
Lin Che's eyes flashed as she looked at the man who approached her all of a sudden. He was right in front of her and his gaze was deep and secretive.
His gaze landed on her frontal chest. It was as if his large hand had caressed it all over. Feeling uneasy, Lin Che wanted to put some distance between them.
"What are you doing?!" Lin Che's gaze was flashing.
"You started seducing me first." Gu Jingze's breath was like the scent of orchids.
"You… I totally did not!"
"Don't ever wear clothes like these when you're beside a man." With a warning gaze, he swept his eyes all over her body. His voice was low and husky like the beautiful sound of a cello.
"Why… why… "
"Because… it's too easy to remove." His eyes followed the wide hem of the gown as if he could look through this piece of clothing and into her body.
Lin Che froze.
In the next moment, his long arms directly held her in his embrace.
Lin Che was completely shocked and she toppled onto the soft blanket on the bed. She quickly grabbed his hand and struggled. "Gu Jingze, you're behaving like a hoodlum!"
"Shh, don't move." His long arms reached over and directly wrapped around her body.
His magnetic voice was like a magical sound resonating in her ears. It had a unique kind of magic. "Otherwise, I'll really behave like a hoodlum."
"But…" Just when Lin Che was about to move, she really and palpably felt something of some sort behind her. It was so obviously sticking up against her body.
She froze. When she widened her eyes and figured out what that thing was, her heart jolted and she did not dare to move recklessly.
Gu Jingze just carried her in his arms like this. "Alright, that's all. Sleep."
"What…"
Gu Jingze frowned. "I'm telling you to sleep. Do you not understand?"
"But I…"
"Or do you want to exercise for a bit before sleeping?" He was almost biting on her ear as he muttered this. His voice implied an exercise of a different kind.
Lin Che's body was awfully stiff and rigid. She only felt that all of her blood seemed to be flowing backward. Her brain also followed suit and became dizzy.
"No need, no need. Sleep…" She said hurriedly.
She lay in his embrace for a long time. She only heaved a sigh of relief when she seemed to feel the thing sticking up behind her body finally softened slowly by a large degree.
Gu Jingze felt the woman in his arms become more and more relaxed. Gradually, her shallow breaths began to even out as their sounds traveled over to him.
He also slowly relaxed his body. However, some part of his body was obviously not as sensible as its counterparts.
He sighed audibly. As he looked at the woman sleeping soundly in his arms, he carefully changed the position of his arms.
He lowered his head and could still smell the faint scent of her hair.
He shut his eyes hard.
She was seriously a dumb woman…
The next day.
When Lin Che woke up, she realized that Gu Jingze was already gone.
Lin Che ran out. From the entrance of the dining room, she saw Gu Jingze eating.
Gu Jingze's complexion did not look good. He looked as if he had not slept well.
Lin Che walked over to him guiltily. She recalled that she had fallen slept in his embrace the night before. However, she had already forgotten what happened after that. She asked Gu Jingze, "Why? Was my sleeping posture last night not too good? To be honest, I tend to toss and turn in my sleep…"
"No." He merely moved his arm uneasily.
His arm was a little stiff from having been used by her as a pillow.
This was the result of not moving it at all for a night.
The maids quickly served some breakfast to Lin Che. Lin Che raised her head and thanked them politely.
After eating breakfast, Lin Che wanted to go to work. Gu Jingze said, "I'll take you along with me. Let's go."
Lin Che stood up hurriedly. "Really? I'll go change my clothes."
As he looked at Lin Che run inside, Gu Jingze shook his head wordlessly.
She was always behaving in a crazy manner.
The maid smiled and tidied up the dishes. She said, "Sir, do we really have to change all of the clothes that Ma'am sent over for Madam?"
Gu Jingze recalled those strangely-shaped pajamas. "Throw them all away."
"Alright. But it's a bit of a pity. They're all in Madam's size."
The maid said, "The rest of the pajamas have already been put up."
Gu Jingze nodded. The maid heard the noises that Lin Che was making inside. They figured that she was looking for clothes again.
Gu Jingze said gloomily, "She's seriously clumsy."
The maid smiled and said, "People are bound to have some shortcomings. Madam is such a good person. Thus, it doesn't really matter that she's clumsy."
"She's a good person?" Gu Jingze raised his eyebrows.
The maid said, "Yes. Madam does not put on airs at all. She treats us servants like her own family members. No matter what we do, Madam always says good, good, good. Often, she even gives us clothes that she hasn't worn. When she comes back with supper, she never forgets to bring some for us. Madam is truly an excellent person."
In no time, Lin Che walked out. Gu Jingze looked silently at her figure. He narrowed his eyes and looked at her deeper and deeper.
Lin Che walked out and said in a surprised tone, "What happened?"
Gu Jingze stood up, casually picked up his clothes, and put them on. "Nothing. Let's go."
Lin Che still had to participate in promotional activities today, so she was dressed in plain clothes. In any case, once she arrived at the company, she would then have to dress more meticulously and do her make-up too.
