When Mo Huiling heard Gu Jingze say that he and Lin Che had an affair, she was extremely furious.

But one day, Mo Huiling suddenly thought about how Gu Jingze never once touched her and yet he was with her for so many years.

Gu Jingze’s love for her must be pure and true.

He was leaning towards Lin Che now most likely because he already touched her. Thus, it was just a desire for her.

Gu Jingze was a man, after all. Although she wasn’t too happy about her own man touching someone else, what her father said was right. It was normal for a man to have a woman or two outside.

Men had their manly desires.

She could understand that.

Therefore, she thought it through and felt relieved. She had a new faith in Gu Jingze.

She believed that Gu Jingze would ultimately return to her side. He just needed to get sick of Lin Che and he would definitely realize Mo Huiling’s good points. He would then come back to her.

After all, she had been with Gu Jingze for so many years. How could Lin Che compare to that?

Lin Che looked at Mo Huiling and couldn’t quite make sense of what she said.

What did she mean by getting sick of her? What did she mean by toying with her body?

Did Gu Jingze tell Mo Huiling that she had an affair with him…

That shouldn’t have happened?

Deep down, Lin Che felt a little apologetic. Initially, nobody thought that the situation would develop to this stage between her and Gu Jingze.

She knew that she had snatched Gu Jingze away from Mo Huiling.

But this was also a result of two willing parties.

Gu Jingze already said that he had broken up with her. Now, she was the one pestering them. She couldn’t possibly blame it all entirely on Lin Che.

Lin Che felt that she was at fault, but the mistake was not hers alone.

Lin Che looked at Mo Huiling, “Whatever you said, you should say it directly to Gu Jingze. If you want to win him back, please do it directly. If he still wants to get back with you, then I’ll give you my blessings. If not, it’s also between the two of you. There’s no point in you telling me all these.”

“You… Lin Che, I’ll let you be arrogant for a few days. Just you wait!”

But just then from a distance, Gu Jingze walked over.

In one swift motion, he pulled Lin Che to stand behind him.

Blocking her in front, his eyes locked sharply at Mo Huiling.

A vigilant light flashed in his eyes. He looked at Mo Huiling, “What are you doing?”

Mo Huiling looked at him strangely. Gu Jingze was directly in front of her and fiercely protecting Lin Che. Her heart flipped over like a glass bottle.

“What was I doing? I was just having a word with Lin Che. I didn’t do anything to her. Why are you already targeting me and thinking that I’m doing something to Lin Che without saying anything yourself? Jingze, don’t you think you’re being too ruthless to me? Hmph.”

Mo Huiling finished speaking and angrily pushed Gu Jingze. She ran away while she held back her tears.

Gu Jingze froze. He was aware that he completely disregarded her feelings just now. She was right in calling him ruthless.

It was just that when he saw both of them standing there from a distance, he couldn’t help but think that Mo Huiling was harming Lin Che.

When did Mo Huiling become so unbearable in his eyes?

Actually, Mo Huiling hadn’t done anything sinful or wicked. He shouldn’t have been so heartless; he was only hurting Mo Huiling.

They separated, but there was no need to hurt her again.

She had been with him for so many years too. There definitely were feelings still.

Gu Jingze looked outside and a sense of loss flashed across his face.

Lin Che noticed and said from behind, “What? If you want to go after her, go ahead. It’s no big deal.”

Gu Jingze turned around, “Why do I need to chase after her?”

Lin Che said, “What you did just now was indeed very hurtful. Go after her and coddle her. Otherwise, she might lose her mind again.”

Gu Jingze turned back and pulled Lin Che’s hand, “I can’t possibly go after her every single time she wants to lose her mind.”

“It doesn’t matter…” Lin Che said nonchalantly.

“Fine. Wait for me here then. I’ll go over and check on her,” Gu Jingze said and was really about to leave.

Lin Che panicked. She looked at Gu Jingze in surprise.

The next moment, Gu Jingze turned back and smiled at Lin Che, “Alright, I won’t go after her. I was just teasing you.”

“…”

Gu Jingze caressed her cheek, “Why? Were you nervous? I’m afraid that if I go up, you’re going to take your own life again. Forget it.”

“Get lost. I won’t take my own life!” Lin Che blushed and pushed Gu Jingze.

Gu Jingze took the opportunity and grabbed her hand, “Relax, I won’t chase after her. I never will again. She has to learn to grow up eventually. I can’t guide her every step of the way because I’m a married man after all. You are my wife. I won’t leave you here to go after her.”

Lin Che felt her heart blossom with warmth. She gazed at Gu Jingze’s face.

He said, “After all, I’ve already slept with you. I should be responsible for you.”

“…” Lin Che exclaimed angrily, “Who slept with whom? I obviously slept with you! Don’t forget that I’m the one who drugged you in the first place.”

“But I think that when it comes to this, the one on top is the one you’re sleeping with. The one at the bottom is the one being slept with. If you really want to sleep with me… How about you try being on top tonight?”

“…” Lin Che’s face flushed.

How could she? She didn’t know how to.

In all their past intimate times, she was the one receiving. How could she take the initiative?

Let her be on top?

She would be too shy.

Anyway, she totally didn’t know what to do while being on top.

Looking at Lin Che, he laughed and caressed her hand. He said, “Alright, let’s go. I heard that someone here harassed you.”

“Yes… I’m sorry,” she recalled Mo Huiling’s words and inadvertently apologized to him.

“Why are you apologizing to me?” Gu Jingze asked.

Lin Che said, “If I didn’t casually talk about coming here, this wouldn’t have happened.”

“How could it be your fault? You can’t possibly stay idle at home every day just to avoid getting harassed, can you? The one at fault is the man who harassed you. It’s never your fault.”

Lin Che smiled and looked up at Gu Jingze.

He was actually very reasonable.

“I think so too. Those men who have nothing better to say would say things like why our skirts are so short. They are simply the cancer of males. No matter what I wear, even if I decide not to wear anything out on the streets, it’s their own fault for harassing me, isn’t it?”

“Yes yes yes… But… You can’t go out on the streets naked,” Gu Jingze remarked.

“Of course. I’m not a fool.”

As the two of them walked out, Yu Minmin and the few of them were just coming out as well. They saw that Gu Jingze was here and knew that the day’s gathering had come to an end.

Shen Youran looked at the time and said, “Oh no, it’s almost midnight. No wonder President Gu is here. We must have taken too much of Lin Che’s time, right?”
