Gu Jingze just felt a little perplexed. Why did she suddenly have to attend an event? She had not informed him of this previously either.

Perhaps she bore in mind that he had been too busy these past two days because of Mo Huiling’s suicide attempt, so she did not tell him.

At times, Lin Che was a pretty understanding woman. When he was busy, she would absolutely not create more trouble.

Meanwhile, Lin Che had taken the plane and arrived at S City where the event was to be held. When she arrived, she first went to the hotel immediately to rest up. Yu Minmin had come over together with her. While walking, she said, “This Gu Jingyu is really generous. He even asked you to come along with him to attend a Christmas event like this.”

Lin Che asked Yu Minmin, “Is this event very impressive?”

Yu Minmin said, “All of the recent variety programs that S City’s broadcasting station has produced are pretty good. For the Christmas gathering this time, they invited quite a number of big shots. The viewer ratings will definitely be very high when the time comes. It’s a very impressive event and ordinary people will not be invited. You still haven’t attended any galas like these. When the time comes for you to go over and be a guest, it will definitely be great as well. Simply by thinking, you’ll know that an event that Gu Jingyu is willing to attend will definitely not be bad.”

Lin Che nodded upon hearing this. She was not in a very good mood, so she was not interested in asking any further either. When she arrived at the hotel, she began to clean herself up in the room in preparation for the rehearsal for the gala. She had heard that the production team had arranged for her to sing together with a famous singer. She did not have any experience singing and should have been very nervous but right now, there was not an inkling of nervousness at all.

She lay there and merely felt persistent stuffiness in her chest.

Was Gu Jingze still in the hospital keeping Mo Huiling company?

He probably was. In any case, when she left, there had still been no news from him.

Her mood began to worsen when she thought about this. She actually felt slightly angry because of this. It was as if something was blocked in her heart and making it difficult for her to release the gloominess inside.

Seriously, this jerk. On one hand, he was fooling around with her. On the other hand, he was still longing for Mo Huiling even though they had parted.

Lin Che scolded him in her heart.

Jerk, jerk.

Had he not said that his relationship with her was no longer so intimate and that she was no longer his girlfriend?

However, after some thinking, she figured that their relationship could not simply be broken so easily since they had been childhood sweethearts. This was all the more so when Mo Huiling used death to pressure him. Gu Jingze definitely felt both anxious and remorseful and wished that he could chop off the hand that had hit her.

She was definitely so angry only because she felt that Mo Huiling was too melodramatic.

However, that feeling was truly very hard to bear. It made her toss and turn. Even though she wanted to rest up properly, she could not fall asleep. Then, Gu Jingze had to choose this moment to call.

The moment she saw his number, Lin Che picked up the call without hesitation.

It was only when the call got through that she felt that she seemed to have picked it up too quickly.

However, it was already connected, so she could only say in a very fierce tone, “What.”

Gu Jingze froze at the other end of the line before asking, “Why did you suddenly go and attend an event?”

“Why? Can’t I attend an event? It’s almost Christmas. After that, it will be New Year’s Eve. A famous celebrity like me, who has been the subject of so much hot discussion this year, will definitely have many events to attend.”

“Lin Che, you… what happened to you?” Gu Jingze sensed that Lin Che was speaking very fiercely and asked in a perplexed tone.

“What do you mean what happened to me?”

“It’s nothing. I just feel that you’re speaking a little strangely.”

“Of course. I rushed to get on the plane early in the morning and I feel extremely unwell now. Alright. If nothing is the matter, then don’t disturb me. I’m going to sleep.”

“You’re feeling unwell?” Hearing this, Gu Jingze said frantically, “I’ll get someone to go over and check up on you. Which hotel are you staying at?”

“No need. I’ll be fine once I take a nap. Since you know that I’m unwell, just don’t call again to disturb me.”

When she finished speaking, Lin Che hung up the phone directly.

At the hospital.

As he heard the frantic disconnect tone, Gu Jingze looked in utter confusion at the name on the screen that had already hung up.

After a few hours, Gu Jingze called again.

Lin Che had slept for a few hours and was awoken by the sound of her phone. She grabbed it and asked, “What?”

“It’s nothing. I wanted to ask you if you were awake now and whether you felt better.”

“No! You woke me up from my sleep,” Lin Che said.

Gu Jingze frowned. “Alright then. I still didn’t ask you earlier but since you’re already awake, when does the event end? When are you coming home?”

“Why? Is something the matter?” Lin Che asked.

Gu Jingze said, “Yes. My family said that they want to dine together on New Year’s Eve. They’re asking if you’re coming back.”

“Aiya. That’s seriously troublesome. Gu Jingze, I think that when we first started this marriage, it was never agreed that I have to keep dealing with your family. It’s too unfair to me. I don’t even need you to pretend to my family back home. At any rate, I even get paid for acting outside. No way. You must give me some remuneration.”

“Okay, okay. How much do you want?”

“10 million for each time I go back.”

“Hey, you really know how to do business!”

“Why? Who knows when we’ll just divorce? If I don’t take the chance to fish for more money while I’m still Madam Gu, I definitely won’t have the chance in the future. Why? Are you now starting to regret it? Life with a poor citizen like me is just this practical. It’s not as romantic as it is with your Miss Mo, right? It’s a pity that it’s too late. It’s all because you didn’t control your lower body properly that night, hmph.”

“Lin Che… I think you may really need to go visit the doctor.”

“What?”

“I think you may really be ill,” Gu Jingze said.

“You… Who did you say is out of her mind? You’re the one who is out of your mind!”

“I just really think that something is wrong with you,” Gu Jingze said.

Lin Che yelled angrily, “I think there is something wrong with you! Your eyesight in your left eye is 0.1 and your eyesight in your right eye is 0.01. You’re nearly blind, so you definitely need to see a doctor.”

If he wasn’t blind, why would he take a fancy to a woman like Mo Huiling for no reason?

When Lin Che finished speaking, she hung up the phone directly in a terrible temper.

At the hospital.

Gu Jingze was currently together with Chen Yucheng.

Chen Yucheng looked on as Lin Che once again hung up on Gu Jingze. He had roughly heard everything that had happened over the phone earlier and wanted to laugh at this moment, but he had to suppress the urge to do so.

He could only look in Gu Jingze’s direction and grin as he played possum.

When had the great Gu Jingze ever received a scolding from a woman like this?

Gu Jingze raised his head and looked at Chen Yucheng. “In your opinion, what exactly causes a woman’s temper to suddenly turn foul?”

Chen Yucheng said, “It may be because she suppressed her physiological reactions for too long and didn’t release them.”

“…” Gu Jingze looked at Chen Yucheng with a dark expression.

Chen Yucheng consoled him very sincerely. “I think that it’s completely impossible to talk about psychology when it comes to women. Any problem that has to do with a woman can actually be directly resolved with one method.”

“What?” Gu Jingze took it for the truth and looked seriously at Chen Yucheng as he asked.

“Just throw her onto the bed and have sex with her. Then, all the problems will be resolved.”

“…” Gu Jingze simply ignored Chen Yucheng’s words and merely mumbled gloomily, “What exactly is wrong with her?”

“Did you somehow trigger her anger?” Chen Yucheng was still at the side giving him advice.

However, he had truly overestimated Gu Jingze’s intelligence when it came to women and love. He should know what to do every day in this respect.

Gu Jingze merely said calmly, “I don’t think so. She very seldom gets angry.”

Gu Jingze could not figure it out. He did not know what exactly he had done to trigger her anger.

However, when he returned home, Gu Jingze suddenly felt very melancholic when he looked at the empty bed in the bedroom.

An unfamiliar longing emotion quietly crept into his heart. When he realized that he was really missing Lin Che like crazy, he himself also began to find it inconceivable.
