章 93: You Promised to Cook For Me

編集者: Atlas Studios

In the car, Lin Che looked at Yu Minmin stare out the window. She pondered a while before saying, "Your father can't go on like this."

Yu Minmin laughed bitterly, "Nothing can be done about it. Gambling has already become his life. I've heard him say that he would quit for almost my entire life, yet he's still causing trouble every day. It's okay; I'm already used to it."

Lin Che had always been Yu Minmin's artist, but she was only a small one back then. It was different now. It was as if Yu Minmin was now her personal manager, so they were together every day. As a result, she came to know of Yu Minmin's family background.

Lin Che patted Yu Minmin's shoulder, "There must be a way."

Yu Minmin looked at Lin Che and shook her head, "Unless I take my mother and brother away from here, I don't think there's any other way to shake off this parasite."

Lin Che comforted her, "Okay, we'll think of something when we get home. Don't worry; we'll find a way."

Soon, they arrived at the Gu residence.

Yu Minmin had never seen the Gu residence. From the outside, she saw some strict-looking guards and thought that it was a bad idea. She turned to Lin Che and asked, "Can I go in? The Gu family probably doesn't let outsiders in, right?"

Lin Che replied, "I don't think so… It should be fine, but I never brought in anyone before."

At the entrance, the security guard looked at Yu Minmin and then politely greeted Lin Che, "Madam." After that, he let them in.

Yu Minmin sat still. She noticed their respectful greeting.

However, she turned to Lin Che but did not ask anything.

She was the manager but she usually didn't probe where there was no need to probe about personal matters of the artist. She only did that when it affected their job. That was a manager's work ethic.

When they entered, Yu Minmin then saw the enormous house and the subtly elegant decor.

Standing in the living room, she could not help but say to Lin Che, "Your house is like a palace."

Lin Che replied, "Yes. When I first got here, I always got lost because there were too many turns. It looks complicated but after walking a bit, you'll get used to it."

Yu Minmin remarked, "I can't believe this is Gu Jingze's place."

"Why?" Lin Che looked at her.

Yu Minmin smiled and said, "A commoner wouldn't be able to come in but I get to bask in your light."

Lin Che smiled, "Is that so? To think there'd be a day when someone gets to bask in my light."

"Of course."

Just then, Yu Minmin's phone rang. She bent her head to answer the call. It was from her mother.

Her mother was crying on the other end, "Please just help your father, Minmin. Only you can help in this family, nobody else is capable enough. See if you know anybody who can talk to them. You only have one father. If anything happens to him, won't you regret it?"

Yu Minmin's fingernails dug into her palm as if the pain would make her feel better.

"Fine, I'll think of something…" Yu Minmin could only plainly say to her sobbing mother.

When she hung up, she closed her eyes and tilted her head up. She looked at the Gu residence's sprawling ceiling and sighed.

Lin Che said, "Sister Yu, who are they? Let's think of something. There must be a way."

Yu Minmin replied, "It's the Lu family who runs a moneylending business and underground gambling dens in the B market. My father has been dealing with them for many years. To put it bluntly, they are not good people. I'll go talk to them and then we'll see what we can do."

"What are you going to do tonight?"

"I'll get a hotel room so my father can't find me for the time being. Don't worry. I've lived like this for many years, so I know what to do. Protecting myself is my strong suit."

"Alright."

Yu Minmin booked a hotel room through her phone. Lin Che arranged for a car to send her there.

Later, her phone rang. She saw Gu Jingze's name appear. She smiled and picked it up.

"When are you going to fulfill your promise and cook me a meal?"

Lin Che thought he was joking when he said that but now that he brought it up, she reluctantly answered, "Fine… I'm waiting for you to come back so we can go buy ingredients."

"Okay, wait for me then. I'm reaching soon."

When Gu Jingze heard that she was going to buy ingredients to cook for him, he could not wait and hurried home.

He arrived quickly and pulled Lin Che out, "Let's go to the market."

"You're coming along?"

"Of course."

"But…" Lin Che remembered Mo Huiling's warning the other day, "Isn't it dangerous for you to go out?"

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che strangely, "Why do you say that?"

Lin Che said, "It's just that the other day, Mo Huiling told me that it's dangerous for you to go out on your own."

Mo Huiling?

A look of unhappiness flashed across his face. He said to Lin Che, "There's danger wherever I go. Does that mean I have to be locked up in a cage, just to avoid the danger? Let's go."

As he said, his hand held onto Lin Che's and he took her out.

Lin Che wanted to say something else but looking at him, she decided it was best not to. She looked down at his hand on hers and wanted to pull away, but she did not. His grip seemed to tighten. She saw that the maids were still looking, so she did not want to struggle too much.

There were not many people at the market. Lin Che thought, It was strange as it was usually crowded. It was like a street with limits as the crowd was small and orderly.

Lin Che pushed the shopping cart and looked at Gu Jingze write down a recipe. She remarked depressingly, "So demanding. That recipe looks complicated."

Gu Jingze asked, "This is complicated? It's just chopping up and stir-frying a few ingredients."

He specially chose a less costly recipe.

Lin Che pushed the cart and walked around to look at the vegetables. A huge supermarket really made one feel blissful. Lin Che was full of smiles and seemed very relaxed.

"I want one of this."

"And one of this."

"Ah, the radish looks fresh."

The more she added things into the cart, the messier it got.

She had completely ignored the recipe's ingredients list.

Gu Jingze only shook his head helplessly.

Just then, a passerby knocked the back of her heel with the shopping cart's wheel.

Lin Che yelped.

She looked up to see a man look at her before turning away silently.

Lin Che thought unhappily, What an immoral guy.

However, Gu Jingze grabbed hold the arm of the man who just turned away.

Holding the man's arm, Gu Jingze pressed him against a shelf. The man was shocked and wanted to swear at him, but looking at Gu Jingze's deep eyes, he felt guilty and shut his mouth.

"Apologize to my wife," he said.

The man looked at Lin Che. Although he was unwilling, he feared Gu Jingze and said humbly, "Sorry. I didn't notice."

Lin Che rubbed her heel, "It's okay. Just be careful next time."

Gu Jingze grunted and then let the man go.

The man slipped away quickly. Lin Che was about to get up from the ground but Gu Jingze squatted down beside her and scooped her up in his arms.

The passersby looked at them in envy. This strong and tall man would make anyone become infatuated with him.

Gu Jingze carried her and put her in the shopping cart, "Let me see if your leg is okay."

Lin Che shook her head. She smiled as she looked at Gu Jingze, "I'm okay. The impact from a cart is not that great. It's just that the man's attitude was infuriating."


章 94: Clumsily Cut Her Hand

編集者: Atlas Studios

Gu Jingze bent down and took off her shoe to inspect her foot.

With her foot in his hand, Lin Che felt embarrassed, "It stinks. I've been wearing shoes for the whole day and I didn't wash my feet!"

Gu Jingze glanced up at her, "It's fine. It has even been on my face before and I never said anything. If it bothered me, I would have thrown you off the bed."

Lin Che smiled as she looked at him, "So why aren't you bothered by it?"

Gu Jingze patted her foot, "There's no point in being bothered when I'm living with an uncultured person like you. It's better to get used to it."

As he talked, he helped put on her shoe.

Lin Che stayed in the shopping cart. She turned back smiling at Gu Jingze and said, "Push me. I'm not getting down."

Gu Jingze remarked, "Lazy egg."

Although he sounded unwilling, he had already begun pushing her.

She sat in the cart and directed Gu Jingze to buy things.

"I want the eggplants over there."

"Ah, I want some chips."

"Gu Jingze, push faster. There's some discount over there."

Lin Che was chirping away while Gu Jingze pushed her with resentment. The two of them went around the supermarket aisles happily. It was a sight that made people sigh with envy.

Some people commented, "See how someone else's boyfriend dotes on his girlfriend?"

"You envy them, but you need to consider how they look first. See, the girl is so pretty. If that was my girlfriend, I'd also dote on her like that."

"Get lost. You didn't see how the boyfriend looked like. He's so handsome."

"Eh, talking about him, he does look a bit familiar."

"I thought the girl looked familiar."

"Anyway, both of them are so good looking. They match so perfectly."

Lin Che held no bars as she shopped. Very quickly, they left with three full big bags.

Gu Jingze had difficulty going out. He discreetly stopped the ushers outside, took his three bags, and walked towards his car.

Lin Che offered, "Let me take one."

Gu Jingze refused, "With your little arms and legs, forget it."

Lin Che pouted but watching him, a big and strong man, carry the three bags swiftly to the car and throwing them all in the trunk, she thought that he looked charismatic and manly.

Lin Che smiled warmly and sat in the car.

Back home, as she was about to begin cooking, she became depressed again.

She put on an apron with professionalism but when it came to cutting the vegetables, she had butter fingers.

Gu Jingze looked from the side and silently wanted to help her.

Especially whenever the knife came down towards her hand, he felt his temples suddenly jump along.

"Okay, okay. Let me help you cut the vegetables," he quickly walked over and said.

"No need. I'm doing it just fine. See, I think my knife skills are getting better. My learning ability is really high… Ouch…"

Her tone fell. The knife had made a cut on her fingertip.

She dropped the knife on the floor. Fortunately, it was a small knife so it did not bounce off.

Even so, anyone would have felt scared seeing it drop.

Gu Jingze rushed over to her side and held up her hand. Blood was flowing out from the opening.

Gu Jingze tugged her finger, "You are really… I told you not to cut anymore."

As he spoke, he directly put her finger into his mouth.

Lin Che's finger hurt.

She looked at his brows as he sucked on her finger. It felt warm. She felt the tip of his tongue brush gently against her finger.

Lin Che stood still and watched him. Looking into his black eyes, her face became hot.

"Dirty…" Lin Che thought. It must be dirty from handling all the vegetables.

Gu Jingze sucked once and let go of her hand. He bent his head to look closely.

He turned around to fetch the first aid kit. Then, he applied a band-aid on her finger.

Lin Che looked at the perfectly taped band-aid and then looked at the obsessive-compulsive disorder patient.

Gu Jingze frowned and push her aside, "That's enough. Stand aside. You're so clumsy. Don't move around."

Lin Che said, "The food…"

Gu Jingze snorted and looked at the recipe, "I'll do it."

"Ah… I feel bad," Lin Che was more than happy to skip cooking, but she looked at him appeasingly.

Gu Jingze picked up the knife and cut the vegetables. He glanced up at Lin Che and said, "I'm afraid that if I let you continue, you're going to burn down the whole kitchen."

"…" Lin Che pouted, "It was all your fault. You talked me into doing this."

Gu Jingze glanced at her again, "You're just stupid; don't make excuses."

Gu Jingze's movements were swift. He cut the ingredients while looking at the recipe. The ingredients he cut looked exactly the same as in the recipe.

He said as he cooked, "You still did such a poor job following a recipe. Your brain is really dumb."

Lin Che observed the way he cooked. He was like a role model. She had no way to retaliate.

Lin Che leaned against the counter, appreciating this charismatic Gu Jingze's swift and flawless movements. She said, "Right, do you still remember my manager, Yu Minmin?"

"Of course I do."

"What do you mean of course?!"

"You think everybody has poor a memory like you? I have a great memory."

"…" Lin Che felt he really looked down on her all the time.

Lin Che continued, "Something happened to Yu Minmin recently."

Gu Jingze asked as he stir-fried, "What happened?"

Lin Che briefly explained to him and added, "I think Sister Yu is so capable."

"How so?"

"Her family is messy, but she's still so proactive in her work. She gives her best effort so that no one knows how terrible her life at home is. I think this is what a professional person should be like, separating personal life from work. If I hadn't been working this closely with her recently, I would never have known what happened to her either."

Gu Jingze thought deeply and his actions slowed down slightly.

However, he quickly picked it up again.

Soon, he plated the dish.

Gu Jingze said, "Here, try this."

Lin Che looked at it. It looked pretty good. She took her chopsticks and hesitantly took a bite.

She did not expect it to taste so good.

Lin Che turned to Gu Jingze in surprise, "Don't tell me you know how to cook?"

Gu Jingze replied, "It's my first time."

"Impossible!"

Gu Jingze wiped his hands with a wet cloth and went to prepare the next dish.

"I followed every step of the recipe closely. Of course, it should not go wrong."

"But I've tried before and whatever I made was bad."

"Then the problem is not the recipe. It's you. You're too dumb, so it can't be helped."

"…"
