Lin Che walked back in very soon after.

Seeing that Chen Yucheng had already disappeared, she asked with confusion, “Did Doctor Chen leave?”

However, she saw that Gu Jingze was currently observing her. His gaze was deep and serene as if there was something special about her body. It made Lin Che feel nervous.

“Why? Did I do something wrong again?”

Gu Jingze looked at what she was holding in her hands and said, “That’s enough. We have so many maids at home. Why do you keep doing these things for no reason?”

Lin Che touched her head. “I didn’t have a lot to do anyway. I just watched Doctor Chen run around and I couldn’t help him either. I could only do these errands.”

Gu Jingze frowned. “That’s enough. Put it down. You don’t have to do anything.”

“It’s fine. I want to do them,” she said.

“Alright. I told you to put it down.” Gu Jingze pulled the tray that she was holding and looked up at her with his brow deeply furrowed.

Lin Che paused and saw that Gu Jingze was frowning. He snatched the tray away from her and placed it at the side. Thereafter, he pulled on her arm. “Come onto the bed.”

Lin Che sat on the bed and Gu Jingze pressed her to the bed to make her lie down.

“What are you doing? In broad daylight… ”

“Come and sleep.”

“But…”

“Sleep with me.”

“No way… I… ”

Not listening to her protests, Gu Jingze wrapped his arm directly around her body and completely pressed her down. Thereafter, he pressed down her arms as well. Lin Che still wanted to move. His face was pulled tight and bore an expression of warning as he looked at her and restricted her from moving.

Lin Che could only freeze there. “I don’t want to sleep; your illness… ”

“Just sleep when I ask you to sleep.” Gu Jingze pressed her tightly onto the bed. Seeing that Lin Che’s face was full of reluctance, he lowered his head slightly and asked her meaningfully, “Why?”

“But I’m not tired. Why must I sleep?”

“In that case, should I find a way to make you tired?” As he said this, Gu Jingze was about to crawl onto her body.

Lin Che quickly stopped him. “I was in the wrong. I was in the wrong. No need, no need. I’ll sleep. Won’t it be okay as long as I just sleep?”

Lin Che hurriedly pulled the blanket up and covered herself properly with it. Only then did Gu Jingze look at her silently before lying back down again.

In all honesty, Lin Che was actually very tired. She was just worried that there would be no one to watch over his illness, so she was filled with adrenaline and did not feel like sleeping.

Right now, her head was lying on the pillow. Fatigue from the day before immediately rushed to her brain. She soon fell asleep as she lay there.

Gu Jingze looked at her and shook his head. She had said that she was not tired but still she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

When Lin Che woke up, Gu Jingze was already gone.

She hurriedly crawled up and ran out. After searching everywhere, she still did not see Gu Jingze.

However, she bumped into Chen Yucheng at the entrance. Seeing that Chen Yucheng was still here, she was slightly relieved as well. She quickly pulled him and asked, “Where’s Gu Jingze? Is his illness better?”

Chen Yucheng said, “He’s much better. He no longer has a high fever but his body is still very weak.”

“But why is he missing?”

“He’s a person who pushes himself very hard. He started to go to work the moment he got slightly better.”

“Ah, that won’t do.”

Lin Che quickly went to the study room to look for Gu Jingze. With one look, she saw Gu Jingze currently in the study room perusing documents and working on something.

Lin Che quickly said, “Hey, you haven’t recovered yet but you are working again. What if you collapse from your illness again?”

Gu Jingze raised his head. “I’m already fine. I still have some work matters to deal with. Wait for me at the side first. We’ll go eat in a while.”

“No way. How can you work now?”

Lin Che walked to him and said, “You need to rest for a few days in order to recover from pneumonia. If you tire yourself out too much, you’ll get another fever.”

“I know my body. Once I’ve endured it, there’ll be no problems.” Gu Jingze said, “Be good. Go to the side and read a book alright?” He stretched out his hand and tapped her forehead with his finger.

Although his voice was hoarse from illness, it sounded even more moving.

This man was so sexy even when he was trying to dismiss someone…

However, Lin Che still adhered to her principles. “No way. You didn’t see how severe your illness was before. But I definitely saw it. Of course, you can’t be like this.”

Gu Jingze raised his head and looked at Lin Che. Her hands were on her hips as she stood here and glared at him unflinchingly. The corners of his lips turned up slightly. “Why? Are you worried about me?”

“… ” Lin Che was at a loss for words. She said, “I… of course I’m worried about you. At the very least, you’re my husband. I still don’t want to be a widow yet.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingze’s eyes flashed. Before that incident happened, talking about becoming a widow would probably have seemed more like a joke. However, it was a totally different feeling when she talked about it now.

He stood up abruptly and immediately leaned in close to Lin Che.

Lin Che froze out of shock. Then, she felt his body tilt towards her. His gaze had a strong sense of ambiguity. He smoothed her hair and wove his fingers through a lock of hair. He said gently, “Don’t worry, I won’t make you a widow.”

Clearly, these were very ordinary words. But why did Lin Che just feel her face blush and her heart skip a beat?

Gu Jingze paused and said, “Alright then. I’ll stop working. I’ll take you to eat something first.”

Lin Che froze and looked at Gu Jingze.

He changed his mind so quickly.

Gu Jingze seemed to be in a good mood and in no time, he began to walk out.

Chen Yucheng saw the two of them come out together and asked Gu Jingze, “President Gu, what are you going to do now?”

Gu Jingze said, “It’s nothing medically related. Doctor Chen doesn’t need to ask.”

As he said this, he went inside to change his clothes first.

In response, Lin Che could only tell Chen Yucheng, “We’re going out to eat.”

Chen Yucheng paused and looked at Lin Che. He said, “You’re the first person ever who has been able to pull him away from his work.”

Lin Che looked at Chen Yucheng, “Really? No way. I don’t think he really loves to work either.”

Chen Yucheng shook his head, “Pfft, you don’t understand how other people see Gu Jingze. Trust me, I’ve known him for more than ten years.”

“… ”

Gu Jingze came out. Upon seeing Lin Che still here chatting with Chen Yucheng, he came up and pulled her away as he said, “Let’s go.”

“Eh. I still haven’t changed my clothes.”

“You don’t have to change. Anyway, it’s for me to see too. I don’t dislike what you’re wearing.”

“You… ”

Just like that, he pulled Lin Che out directly.

Behind them, Chen Yucheng shook his head and said, “Seriously, relax. What’s there to be afraid of? I didn’t want to disclose any of your secrets anyway.”

Gu Jingze brought Lin Che and simply left the Gu residence like that.

As for Chen Yucheng, he had stayed here for a few days because of Gu Jingze’s illness. Seeing that Gu Jingze seemed to simply ignore him and no longer needed him at all, he took the initiative, packed up, and prepared to leave.

However, just when he was about to take his things and leave, he heard a phone begin to ring from inside the room.

He checked his cell phone and saw that it was not ringing. He turned his head and saw a cell phone currently vibrating on the couch. It seemed to be Lin Che’s cell phone. Initially, he did not care. However, he noticed the name on the screen: Shen Youran.
