章節 43: Clothes Tangled Up
編輯: Atlas Studios
Then, Lin Che saw the movement of reporters.
"Reporters are coming. No, I have to leave now. I was surrounded by them just now," Lin Che had little experience with reporters. She still did not know how to handle them. She did not know what to say and was afraid of saying the wrong things that might affect her career.
Gu Jingze looked and said, "We can hide inside. Let's go."
As he said this, he glanced over at his men to go over and take a look.
Under the discrete protection of his guards, the two of them went deeper in.
Lin Che was relieved that no reporters followed them, "Luckily, we lost them. I wouldn't know what to do otherwise."
Gu Jingze looked at her silently and thought that if the hotel not been under the Gu family's name and surrounded by his people, she could never have escaped. It was not that the reporters did not follow her. They were stopped.
Soon, they found a room in the hotel to rest.
Gu Jingze said, "I've asked for the staff to bring some food. You should have some."
"That's great, Gu Jingze. You're too good," she raised her head towards Gu Jingze, her face filled with gratitude.
Gu Jingze knew that she was putting on an act, but he was secretly satisfied.
"Since you know how good I am, then treat me better," he replied and pushed a plate in front of her.
Sitting in a wheelchair was inconvenient. When Gu Jingze pushed the plate in front of her, she looked at him with greater happiness.
She did not hate this man all the time.
Lin Che ate a few pieces of food while Gu Jingze's phone rang. He went over to pick it up.
On the other end of the line, the security guard said, "Sir, Lin Youcai wanted to look for you just now. We stopped him."
Expressionless, Gu Jingze glanced over to Lin Che, "Hm."
When he put down the phone, he saw Lin Che fidgeting around and seemingly tugging at her clothes. Gu Jingze asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Che struggled to untie the ribbon at the back. Defeated, she grumbled, "I think my back is all tangled up."
Gu Jingze shook his head and went over to her, "Okay, seeing as you are dumb and clumsy, let me give you a hand."
Lin Che gave in, "Alright, you're the smart one."
He said, "Look at how silly you are."
He took a closer look to find that the ribbon was stuck in the wheelchair. No wonder it was hard for her.
He picked out the ribbon and said, "Nobody asked you to wear a dress so difficult to wear."
Lin Che felt his hands moving around, occasionally touching her back and making it hard to control herself.
Pretending not to feel anything, she snorted, "It's an engagement. I can't not wear something formal. Also, I am your wife now. Surely, I have to give you face. See this dress? My company let me borrow it. It's branded."
Gu Jingze's face blackened, "If you have no clothes, I could have bought them for you. Why borrow from your company?"
"That would be troublesome."
"Is it troublesome? Or is it because you didn't want to tell me you were going to the engagement party of the guy you like?" Gu Jingze said as his grip tightened. The more he thought about how determined she was to attend the party, the more uncomfortable he felt.
Lin Che felt a pain in her back. She turned angrily to him and said, "Hey, if you don't want to help me, don't. You're hurting me."
"I'm sorry. I didn't realize," He too was confused by his own thoughts. He kept his head down and continued undoing the ribbon with more care.
Lin Che said hesitantly, "Hey, why is your head down? Is your illness acting up again?"
She remembered him telling her that if he got too close to women, he would develop several allergic reactions including vomiting and rashes.
Gu Jingze said, "How could it be?"
"I'm not afraid of touching you and getting sick."
"I would never embarrass myself in front of you," Gu Jingze continued, "Speaking of embarrassment, I have seen a lot of it on your side."
Lin Che glared at Gu Jingze, "The pleasure is all mine!"
She had been drugged, disgraced, and made drunk by him.
He really had seen everything.
Lin Che thought that Mo Huiling was definitely nothing like that.
No wonder he loved Mo Huiling and not her. Women should keep their distance from men. After all, women need to upkeep their image. Otherwise, which man would ever love them?
Especially Gu Jingze. Given his status, he must have come across plenty of elegant ladies.
Gu Jingze looked seriously at her zipper. It was so entangled that it was going to be hard to unzip.
As he worked on the zipper intensely, he could not help but notice with his head bent down that he was facing her fair and tender neck. The fabric below moved around while light shone softly at the front.
He remembered her telling him that her chest was shaped like two peaches.
Looking at it, indeed it was.
Although the blue fabric was covering most of it, the top half of her chest was still obviously showing and slightly moving.
From that angle, he could see a large part of her bare back. Her skin was soft and smooth. It seemed to be poreless except for a layer of extremely fine hair on the surface like a baby's skin..
His throat felt unexpectedly hot. He shifted his eyes away but could not help feeling bothered.
However, he seemed to grow more anxious as his hands fumbled more.
He was frustrated that he just could not detangle it.
Forcefully, he shouted, "SHIT! It won't budge!"
With one forceful pull, the dress let out a rip sound.
It was torn.
Lin Che could not believe what just happened. She held her dress and silently lifted her head at Gu Jingze. She was annoyed and shouted. She felt the air-conditioner blowing at her bare skin. It made her uncomfortable, "What have you done, Gu Jingze? How is this helping?"
Gu Jingze was also vexed. His ears turned red as he did not know what to do.
A large part of the dress fell off, revealing parts of her body. However, it made her look even more attractive. Her body seemed to shine through the light, showing her fine baby-like hair. Nobody could resist her.
His heart jolted as if something manipulated it.
She turned her head to him, eyes staring like daggers into Gu Jingze's, "The dress is ruined. Do you have any idea how much it cost?"
Gu Jingze replied angrily, "I will pay you back."
"Hmph, you'd better!"
Gu Jingze glared at her and picked up his phone.
"Get me a ladies' formal gown, one with my wife's measurements," Gu Jingze said as he looked at Lin Che who was staring at him begrudgingly with her big eyes and holding onto her clothes. Her chest was already big, but with her hands held against it, it looked even bigger.
Gu Jingze's eyes seemed to be lost as he looked at her. She frowned and turned away.
This idiot.
Lin Che had no other choice but to wheel herself into the bathroom.
She found a bathrobe and put it on.

Gu Jingze turned around to see her walking out in a bathrobe. He could not stop looking at her.
Lin Che said, "I had no choice but to wear this. Seriously, this is all your fault! Did you do it on purpose? To think that my dress could be ruined like that!"
Gu Jingze could only stare at her in her bathrobe with the sash resting loosely around her waist.
If he had not known this woman's intelligence, she would not have been capable of acting so naturally seductive. He felt that she was being deliberate.
If she was only wearing a bathrobe, that would mean that underneath was only some lingerie…
Gu Jingze's body grew hot. Staring at her in her robes, he did not want to look away. He kept thinking about her skin and her loose outfit. Reaching in would be so easy.
Gu Jingze shook his thoughts away as he heard the sound of the door outside.
Lin Che said, "The clothes are here already? Go bring them in quickly."
Gu Jingze nodded and looked at Lin Che before going to open the door.
The room was a suite with a bedroom inside and a living room outside.
Gu Jingze closed the bedroom door and sighed heavily before walking towards the main door.
However, to his surprise, it was a man with jet-black hair and pale face.
Qin Qing.
Qin Qing saw Gu Jingze and his eyes jumped to look inside the room. When he could not see Lin Che, he turned his eyes back to Gu Jingze. Lin Che's relationship with him was fishy. Hesitantly, he asked, "Is… Lin Che here?"
Although the person in front of him made Qin Qing feel slightly jealous, he could not help but look down at the ring on his finger. At a closer look, his eyes lit up.
That indeed looked like the Gu family's ring.
Somehow, he just did not want to lower his guard in front of this man.
Thus, the intensity in his eyes increased as he said, "I am Lin Che's friend."
Gu Jingze stood there half a head taller than Qin Qing. His pair of dark eyes were unfathomable and endless like the night sky, deep and unobtrusive.
His eyes swept over Qin Qing. Gu Jingze could not understand what made Lin Che so drawn to him. What kind of taste in men did she have? Did she really like this type of pretty boy? Somehow, one was Gu Jingyu and now the other one was Qin Qing. They were both just pretty boys.
Gu Jingze's voice was cold and proud. Although he was being a gentleman, he had a high aura that was not to be messed with, "Lin Che is inside, but she's busy."
"Busy?" Qin Qing asked suspiciously, "Tell her it's me. She will see me."
Gu Jingze's slender fingers touched his nose, his eyes surrendering, "She's not exactly busy. She's just not wearing clothes right now so I can't open the door for you."
Qin Qing was shocked.
Seeing Qin Qing's expression, he continued, "It was all my fault. I was careless… I ruined her dress and I've asked my men to bring her some clothes. So for now, it's really not convenient for her to come out."
Even though those words were concealed, Qin Qing understood.
Revealing a hint of awkwardness, Qin Qing never thought that this man in front of him and Lin Che would have… that kind of relationship.
Qin Qing replied, "You may not be aware, but Lin Che and I go way back. We've known each other for many years." He could not help but feel hostile towards Gu Jingze.
"Oh, Lin Che told me," Gu Jingze said softly. "She has mentioned it to me."
"I know you may be powerful and can do anything you want, but Lin Che is a simple girl. I don't want her to get hurt. So if you aren't serious about her, I will definitely not take this lying down."
Like what Han Caiying said earlier, even if Gu Jingze had a relationship with her, he would simply toss her aside once he got sick of her.
It made Qin Qing upset.
In his heart, it was not that Gu Jingze was not an equal match to him or that Gu Jingze was playing with Lin Che. Instead, he wondered if Gu Jingze had cheated her into being with him?
Gu Jingze never thought that he would one day be threatened by Qin Qing.
Looking at Qin Qing, he said, "If you are warning me as a friend, I'll have you rest assured that my relationship with her is completely legitimate. We have mutual feelings and trust. There are no secrets between us and there is a commitment between us that will not be violated."
What he said was true, but that was not all there was.
Gu Jingze's expression changed to something more threatening. As he looked at Qin Qing, he said, "However, if you are warning me as a man, I'll remind you that Lin Che is now my woman."
His sharp expression was like a sword that made Qin Qing feel a great threat at once.
In Qin Qing's heart, his dislike for Gu Jingze grew even more. Then, a service staff arrived with two pieces of clothing, "Sir, your clothes are here."
Gu Jingze's expression softened as he said to the staff, "Just bring them in."
The logo on those clothes did not go unnoticed by Qin Qing.
A high-end brand. Each piece of clothing cost at least tens of thousands.
Gu Jingze looked distantly at Qin Qing, "If there's nothing else, I'm going back in."
Without giving Qin Qing time to reply, he closed the door immediately.
"You… "
Qin Qing looked at the closed door in anger. He was not happy to get the cold shoulder after coming all the way here.
He had an even more unreasonable distaste for Gu Jingze.
Gu Jingze took the clothes in.
Lin Che was still waiting inside. When she saw Gu Jingze finally return, she asked, "Were you talking to someone at the door?"
The hotel room was soundproof and she dared not step out. She could only hear a murmur of voices, but she didn't know what was going on.
Gu Jingze nodded, "Yeah, there was a mad dog but I had it taken away."
He was not someone who would be mean to strangers. He did not know Qin Qing at all.
However, he felt resentful upon thinking how curt and direct his words were.
Lin Che laughed and said in amazement, "A dog in a hotel? How did that ever happen?"
"It was a mad dog. Mad dogs like to run around poking their nose in everything."
He then handed the clothes to her, "Go put them on. They are your size."
Lin Che looked down at the clothes. They were beautiful and looked very exquisite.
"Wow, aren't these expensive?" she said.
Gu Jingze replied, "I'm not sure."
Lin Che smiled at Gu Jingze, "These are beautiful. They look grand. Thanks, Gu Jingze. Who knew that being your wife could make me as grand as you too? Not bad."
He only thought how cute she was trying to look charming.
For the first time, her simple compliments made Gu Jingze feel bashful and happy.
