"Gu Jingze, if you really desire Mo Huiling so badly, then elope with her. Venting your anger out on me for no reason… are you even a man?! You don't have the guts to defy your family. Also, you don't have the guts to reveal to Mo Huiling that you married me only because of her. You… you're just a cowardly man," Lin Che scolded him angrily before hearing the door click. It was completely locked…
Gu Jingze did not make a single sound the entire time.
Lin Che laid there waiting for a long time, but Gu Jingze did not react at all. She hugged her arms as she lay down and could not help but wonder if she had gone too far out of line when speaking to Gu Jingze earlier.
To be honest, it was understandable for him to be angry. Because of one mistake that she had made, it changed his initial plans for life. Of course, he was angry.
If it was not for her, his family may not have pressured him so and may also not have used Mo Huiling to threaten him immediately into a marriage. What happened with Lin Che gave his family hope, which was why the situation thus became so urgent.
However, Lin Che was in a very unfortunate situation too. She had merely wanted to cook up a scandal but instead, she had inexplicably given up her first time.
Thinking about it, she still felt gloomy.
Lin Che ultimately fell asleep after letting her thoughts run wild, having toiled throughout the day.
Alone in the room, Gu Jingze heard the din outside gradually turn silent. However, he lay on his arms, unable to fall asleep.
He only opened the door to the bedroom when he wanted to go to the bathroom.
Lin Che was curled up into a ball at the entrance and she looked very uncomfortable.
Gu Jingze walked over and looked at her silently. After some time, he lowered his head and reached his arms out to lift her up.
Lin Che was indeed very light as he carried her in his arms. He still felt as if she was weightless. Her sleeping face was scrunched up and had a tinge of roundness unlike her sharp chin when she was standing. When he looked at her now, she looked more like a baby sleeping sweetly. From time to time, she would stick out her tongue slightly to lick her cherry-red lips.
He carried her to the bed and looked at her silently before shaking his head and going into the bathroom.
When he came out, she was still in deep sleep.
He lifted the blanket and burrowed under it, thinking to himself that both of them could put up with this arrangement since it was for just one night.
Who knew that during the night, Lin Che did not keep her limbs to herself while sleeping.
Just when Gu Jingze finally felt sleepy after his bout with insomnia, a hand suddenly hit his body.
He gritted his teeth as he looked down at her slender hand. He pushed her hand aside and flipped his body over, unwilling to bother with her.
Finally after turning drowsy once more, he again felt a leg rest itself over his thigh.
Just like that, he alternated between sleep and awakeness for some time. After God knows how long, he gradually fell asleep due to fatigue after seemingly getting used to her attacks.
When she woke up in the morning, Lin Che realized with surprise that she was actually on the bed.
However, she could not remember how she had gotten there.
Could it be that Gu Jingze suddenly discovered his conscience last night and carried her onto the bed?
But at this time, Gu Jingze was nowhere to be found in the room.
Lin Che quickly ran out, only to see that the entire family was seated and eating breakfast in the dining room.
Gu Jingze ate his breakfast blankly, not sparing Lin Che even a glance.
Mu Wanqing smiled and called out to Lin Che, "Come and sit down."
Lin Che could only glare at Gu Jingze sneakily. This guy… was he not intentionally humiliating her? He did not wake her up even after he woke up, making her become the last person to reach the dining room.
Lin Che sat down and said sheepishly, "Sorry, I woke up late."
All smiles, Mu Wanqing said, "No worries. You must have been tired yesterday night. Jingze didn't wake you up because he adores you."
It would be a wonder if he really did adore her.
She looked at Gu Jingze who was just holding his spoon elegantly. He looked like a dignified Persian cat that was eating, his every movement so meticulous that it made him good-looking.
However, he did not look at her at all.
Mu Wanqing's words were ambiguous and made Lin Che feel even more embarrassed.
She had been tired last night because she had quarreled with Gu Jingze for almost half the night. In the end, not only did she fail to win, but she was also really exhausted both mentally and physically.
When Lin Che recalled this, she could not help but glare at Gu Jingze.
Gu Jingze caught her gaze this time, turned to her, and rolled his eyes.
Mu Wanqing saw their interaction and immediately started smiling.
It looked like the two of them interacted quite a lot.
When she initially made the two of them marry, she was still worried that their relationship would suffer due to Gu Jingze's overly aloof personality. But now, it looked like they actually got along pretty well.
This child, Gu Jingze, was different from his two brothers. He did not like talking and did not like dealing with people either. He was arrogant and overbearing. When she made him interact with a girl, she usually saw no reaction from him at all. It was really surprising that he could interact with Lin Che in such a manner..
Mu Wanqing said, "Lin Che, you're really too skinny. Eat more."
As she said this, she hurriedly piled food on Lin Che's plate.
Lin Che said frantically, "No need, there's no need. I can help myself, Mother."
"No way. You're really too skinny." Mu Wanqing continued, "Now that you're part of the family, we must make you plumper."
Lin Che said, "Does being slim not look good?"
Mu Wanqing said, "Being slightly plumper looks good too. Why? Who dislikes it? Does Jingze dare to give you the cold shoulder for being plump?"
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che.
She was indeed a little too skinny. When she placed her arms on the table, the expanse of skin was white and clear, and her arms looked like they would break if someone tried to bend it.
"There's nothing for me to dislike," he said.
Mu Wanqing said, "See, I told you Jingze wouldn't dislike it."
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. Of course, he did not dislike it. They were in a fake marriage anyway. It would be fine as long as his Huiling did not get fat.
So Lin Che curled her lip and said, "Mother, don't listen to him. Men are all the same. Although they say that they'll like you whether or not you're fat, they still like slim women in their hearts."
After hearing this, Mu Wanqing paused before laughing out loud.
There were waves of laughter at the dining table. As Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Che, she truly started liking her more and more. Her words were amusing and her personality was refreshing. She was not pretentious at all.
After eating, Mu Wanqing even gave them a heap of food to take away before reluctantly walking them out of the house.
Lin Che walked away from the Gu residence with Gu Jingze. In the car, Lin Che tugged at Gu Jingze and said, "I didn't expect your mother to be such a nice person. Before this, you talked about her as if she was very difficult. You scared me to death."
As Gu Jingze looked at her face brimming with happiness, he gazed at her deeply.
He was very surprised too. It seemed like everything proceeded smoothly when she came to the Gu residence. He could tell that everyone, whether it was his grandfather or his mother, all liked her very much.
However, he still could not help but say, "As long as it's not Mo Huiling, my mother likes everyone else."
As expected, Lin Che turned her head to glare at him. She pursed her lips and thought to herself that this man was really a jerk.
Lin Che suddenly remembered that she still had many red packets yet to be opened. She decided to take them out and started opening them.
When she opened them and took a look, she saw that the thick red packets did not hold money. They held title deeds.
Shocked, she flipped open the deeds and was then truly astounded. The red packet that his family had given her was actually a piece of land behind a mountain in B city. The red packet that Grandfather had given also did not contain money. It was the ownership of an apartment in the central business district.
Lin Che yelled out in surprise. "Good lord, is this a red packet?"
Gu Jingze merely glanced at her sideways before looking back towards the front indifferently.
"A title deed and property deed. Is there a problem?"
"Your family is really too generous!" Lin Che said.
Gu Jingze said, "As the Gu family's Young Madam, you deserve it."
Lin Che said, "So these are all given to me?"
Gu Jingze said, "Of course they are."
Lin Che looked at the title and property deeds before raising her head. "They are too valuable. How can I accept them?"
Gu Jingze said, "Just take them. They're supposed to be given to the Young Madam of the Gu family and you are, in fact, the Young Madam. Thus, you don't have to feel uncomfortable."
Lin Che thought that his words made complete sense. While smiling, she looked at the two red packets repeatedly. "It looks like there are some benefits to tolerating your bad temper."
Gu Jingze looked at her. "You money-grubber."
Lin Che was in a good mood. She turned her head and said, "Otherwise, what else is the point of marriage? It's either for love or for money. Obviously, marrying you out of love doesn't make sense. It's only money that would make sense."
Gu Jingze shook his head speechlessly. He looked at her smiling until her eyes became slits. Her cheeks also became slightly rounder. They were white but tinged with a little red and she actually looked a little cute.
His gaze fixed upon her for some time before he turned his head. However, right at this moment, he saw that his phone was ringing. It was a call from Mo Huiling.
However, Gu Jingze subconsciously glanced at Lin Che beside him first. Seeing as she was still scrutinizing the title deed in detail, he picked up the phone.
However, his voice was slightly softer than usual.
"What's up?"
"Jingze, you promised to celebrate my birthday with me tonight. I called to confirm which restaurant we should go to. What do you want to eat?"
"It's your birthday. You decide," he said.
"Alright. Then I'll make a reservation at the Western restaurant we usually go to."
"Okay."
"Jingze, are you feeling unwell? Why is your voice so soft?" Mo Huiling asked, confused.
Once again, Gu Jingze cast a sideways glance at the person beside him. When he saw that she had raised her eyes and looked over, he subconsciously felt a little guilty. However, he said into the phone, "It's nothing. I'm in the car. We'll discuss it again when I get home. Let me know after you make the reservation."
"Oh, alright." Mo Huiling hung up the phone.
Gu Jingze put his phone away and looked at Lin Che. "What are you looking at?"
Naturally, Lin Che had heard that he was having a conversation with Mo Huiling. Pretending to be calm, she shrugged her shoulders and said, "Nothing. Only the two of us are in the car. Who else can I look at besides you?"
As she said this, she lowered her head again and started touching the title deeds while looking like an extremely engrossed money-grubber.
Gu Jingze drew in a deep breath before turning his head away.
Lin Che thought to herself, Forget it. It was a fake marriage from the outset anyway. It's none of my business that he's dating someone else.
The money in her hands was still the most reliable.
Very soon after, they arrived home.
However, the car had just turned around a corner when another car suddenly knocked into it abruptly.
Within a mere moment, the car was dented on one side and smoke immediately started rising from the front.
Several cars that had been stealthily following behind quickly rushed over. When the car door was opened, everyone saw Gu Jingze and Lin Che hugging together tightly…
When that accident occurred, Lin Che did not realize what was happening. It was only when she was laying on his stiff and hard body that her head felt a little clearer.
However, the inside of the car was in a complete mess. Gu Jingze's expression was somber and as cold as ice. His eyes seemed to be unfocused before they finally focused on Lin Che's face.
She quickly said, "How are you feeling? Gu Jingze, are you alright?"
The car had knocked on his side of the car and it scared her to death.
However, Gu Jingze just stared at her pale face. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and lifted her arm in one swift motion.
On her thigh, there was an obvious slash and it was impossible to discern what was blood and what was flesh.
Gu Jingze's face darkened immediately.
"All of you, move aside. Madam is injured." Gu Jingze's voice was unexpectedly a little dull and hoarse. Without waiting for the people outside to react, he had already pulled Lin Che's arms towards him and carried her out from below.
In the split second that the accident had happened earlier, it was Lin Che who had flung caution to the winds and threw herself onto him.
If not for her, he would have been the one injured this very moment.
Lin Che only felt a surge of pain on her body after he lifted her up in his arms. Thereafter, the pain began to intensify.
The people outside were shocked. When they saw Gu Jingze carrying Lin Che as he walked out hurriedly, they quickly followed behind him noisily.
At the hospital.
Lin Che had lost an excessive amount of blood, causing her to feel weak and feeble. She looked at Gu Jingze beside her and felt his hand holding hers. She did not know why, but with the heat of his palm consoling her with its warmth, she seemed to feel that it was not all that painful anymore.
However, when she looked down, she saw that his white shirt had been drenched in blood.
She could not help but laugh. She looked at his cold face and said, "Gu Jingze, I'm not dying now right?"
Gu Jingze's heart froze. He subconsciously scrunched up his face as well. His chilly gaze rested on Lin Che in a castigating manner, but he did not dare to be too fierce. "What nonsense are you spouting? You're not going to die."
"But I lost a lot of blood," I said.
"The doctor is treating you. You lost a lot of blood only because a major artery in your thigh was slashed.
"Ah, a major artery… it sounds scary. Tell me. If I die, will you be able to free yourself immediately and fly away with your Miss Mo?"
Gu Jingze face darkened. There were turbulent waves in his jet-black irises and his brow furrowed. "Shut up, I won't let you die." When he heard the name 'Mo Huiling', he actually felt slightly impatient. The feeling of not wanting to mention her silently surged in his heart.
If she had not called, he would not have been constantly distracted and he would have realized the abnormalities outside.
Lin Che said, "Really? But it really hurts."
Gu Jingze looked at her small face all scrunched up. She was as pale as a sheet of paper and her small and weak lips were shriveled together. Her appearance made his heart seize up.
He raised his head. "Didn't you hear that? Madam said that she's in pain. Get the doctor to treat her quickly!"
Qin Hao had been following him by his side. When he saw an expression of extreme gloominess overcast Gu Jingze's face, he quickly turned around to urge the other people to increase their pace.
Gu Jingze's gaze stayed on Lin Che's face. When he saw her turning her head away seemingly to hide her pain, his eyes darkened. He used his large hand to turn her face towards him. As he pinched her delicate chin, his gaze was black. "Look at me. Don't overthink."
"Mkay…" she hummed, but she still could not bear the pain.
Gu Jingze's gaze landed on her lips, which had dried and shriveled from the excessive loss of blood. Her lips were slightly parted, her breathing was heavy, and her brows had converged. He pinched her chin and turned his body to move closer to her before directly blocking her lips, which had been continuously opening and closing…
