n“Because of Gu Jingze?” He smiled bleakly as he spoke.

nLin Che shook her head and looked at Qin Qing. At the very least, this was the young boy that she had liked in the past. “Liking someone or not isn’t because of someone else.”

nIf you liked someone, you simply liked them. There was never a need to compare them to someone else.

nShe turned her head and simply walked out. She switched on her phone after a lot of difficulty and saw that there were already countless missed calls.

nWhen she walked out, she immediately saw the butler presently waiting outside for her.

nLin Che said frantically, “Butler, how did you know that I was here?”

nThe butler said quickly, “Sir looked for you for a very long time. He said that you didn’t meet him for dinner and he didn’t know where you had gone.”

nLin Che slapped her head. “Right, I completely forgot about dinner. Something cropped up on my end.”

n“The subordinates will handle this matter for you. Madam, you can just go back first.”

nLin Che said, “Alright then. There’s nothing much else to do here anyway.”

nLin Che got into the car that was to send her home. She was thinking about the butler who was always calm and steady but looked extremely unusual today. She did not know what had happened and hurriedly grabbed the driver in front. “Is your Sir angry?”

nThis man was so petty. He was definitely angry.

nThe driver looked at Lin Che awkwardly. He knew that this Madam of his was usually loud, careless, and did not put on airs. However, today Sir was indeed…

nNone of them dared to speak another word. He could only say, “Madam, you’ll know when you get back.”

nWith one look, Lin Che knew that things were not good. She thought frantically,Could it be that he was so angry because she had stood him up?

nKnowing that she was at fault in this matter, she hastily drafted a speech in her mind and proceeded to enter.

nCoincidentally, Gu Jingze was walking out in quick steps towards her. He immediately saw Lin Che pushing the door and coming in. His jet-black gaze flashed with slight gloominess. His heavy gaze landed on Lin Che. He glanced at her before directly skimming over her head and walking straight outside.

nAs Lin Che watched him stretch his long legs apart and walk out, she quickly said, “I’m sorry. It’s my fault. Gu Jingze, I shouldn’t have stood you up and shouldn’t have ignored your calls. But it’s because I really had something on and was momentarily flustered, so I didn’t notice, I…”

nHis gloomy gaze turned to her. The lines on his face that he had inadvertently concealed followed suit and turned completely cold. As if he was a stone that had been completely steeped in ice, a chill emanated from him that penetrated to the bottom of her heart.

nHe really did not know if he should be angrier that she simply did not pick up her phone or because she actually did not pick up her phone because of him…

nHe looked at Lin Che coldly. Momentarily flustered?

nWhy didn’t she say who she had gotten flustered over?

nGu Jingze stretched his long legs out again and walked out in large strides.

nLin Che panicked and called out from behind, “Gu Jingze, are you really angry?”

nSeeing that Gu Jingze did not even turn his head back, she hurriedly chased after him. “Gu Jingze, why are you being like this? You just got so angry without even asking me one question. It’s really because something cropped up. Also, I just stood you up once. Do you really have to get this angry? You… ”

n“Explain?” Gu Jingze stared at Lin Che. “What explanation do I even need?”

nLin Che held onto the car door.

nGu Jingze’s gaze landed on her hand. He stretched out his hand and gently pushed it aside. “Do I have to wait for you to explain that you went to the hospital for the sake of the man you love? That you didn’t pick up my calls because you had to look after a sick man?”

n“I… ” She was indeed stupid, she thought. He must have known. That was why he instructed the butler to look for her at the hospital.

nThere was nothing that Gu Jingze did not know.

n“But… ”

n“I’ll just ask you this. Do you still remember that he’s your older sister’s fiancé? Someone whom you’re supposed to call brother-in-law?”

n“I…”

nAfter leaving behind this sentence that cut like a knife, Gu Jingze directly gestured for the car to be started.

nLin Che could only stand there and watch his car leave.

nWhat the hell was this…

nShe had not forgotten that he was her brother-in-law. That was precisely why she had ultimately walked out of that hospital ward.

nAt the hospital…

nQin Qing was very perplexed. He had clearly not told anyone but unexpectedly, the doctor still informed him that they were going to transfer him to another hospital, a trauma hospital that was better and more specialized.

nBefore long, he was brought to the best military hospital in all of C Nation and checked into the VIP ward here.

nAs before, he could only lie there on his stomach. When he saw the nurses scurrying back and forth, he quickly stopped someone and asked, “Why am I here? Where are my family members? Have my family members come?”

nHe could only think, Had Lin Che informed the Qin family?

nIt was just that if his family knew, they would likely have come to visit him immediately. But at this moment, they had not.

nThe nurse looked at him awkwardly. When he wanted to speak again, he heard the steady sound of leather shoes stepping on the ground and approaching from a distance.

nHe froze before raising his head. From far away, he saw a line of people following the man in the middle as he walked over step after step.

nThe person who had come was Gu Jingze.

nHe was dressed in all black. It made his originally dark gaze appear even more dreary. Also, his pair of sinister and ruthless eyes appeared even more cuttingly-stern at this moment. When he looked over, he emitted an unchanging calmness. Yet there was also some hidden darkness.

nWhy did he come…

nGu Jingze’s gaze landed on him.

nQin Qing hurriedly got up and said, “President Gu?”

n“No need for that. I heard from Lin Che that it was you who had saved her. I’m very grateful for your heroic actions, so I specifically came to take a look. This place is pretty comfortable to stay in. This hospital is extremely good. I’ve already entrusted you to the people at this hospital. They’ll definitely assist you in a quick recovery. Thus, the Second Young Master doesn’t have to worry about any other matters. The Second Young Master can just focus on getting better. I’ve already instructed someone to inform your family members. They’ll come here very soon to look after the Second Young Master.”

nLin Che?

nLin Che had told Gu Jingze?

nDisappointment flashed across Qin Qing’s face. He looked ahead at a loss. He knew in his heart that he was very sad but then again, there was no way for him to express it.

nSince Lin Che had told Gu Jingze and even gotten Gu Jingze to come and look after him…

nThat meant that she no longer wanted to have any association with him.

nIt looked like she had really never liked him.

nQin Qing smiled dryly and said, “Thank you. It was something I should have done. After all, Lin Che is a woman. It wouldn’t be good if it left a scar on her.”

nGu Jingze said, “But I still want to thank Second Young Master. After all, Second Young Master did it for Lin Che. That counts as doing it for me too.”

nQin Qing looked around. No wonder he was able to come to the VIP ward of this hospital.

nHe then looked at the people beside him. No wonder Lin Che liked him.

nWho would not like a man like this?

nEven if she knew that it was dangerous, she would not give up either.

nQin Qing thought, His confession today really became a joke.

nEven if they were to do a brief comparison, every single person on the street would choose Gu Jingze too and not him…

nHowever, Qin Qing still could not help his distress. If only he had realized how good Lin Che was a little earlier…
