Gu Jingze’s eyes rested on the thoughtless Lin Che. He didn’t reject the feeling of having a child with her but he just never thought about having a child.

Thus, he simply looked at Mu Wanqing and continued to coldly walk towards Lin Che.

Mu Wanqing smiled slightly. She was already too used to Gu Jingze’s attitude, so she only smiled as she watched the two of them leave.

At home, they only discussed the New Year’s celebration for a while.

Because the Gu family was huge, they had to make preparations for New Year’s Eve.

Gu Jingze and Lin Che were only sitting at the side and listening. The main person in charge was still Mu Wanqing.

Lin Che saw that Mu Wanqing was really handy in settling all these things. Everything was already prepared. For a moment, she thought that indeed no one had it easy in the Gu family. Even her mother-in-law who seemed like she never did anything was very capable as well.

Lin Che said, “Mom, you’re so wonderful.”

Gu Jingze replied, “Did you think it was easy to be the matriarch of the Gu family? All the trivial matters in the Gu family are handled by her. She’s already used to it.”

“Ah, I thought Mom didn’t have anything to do every day.”

“You thought a lot, stupid,” he said and reached out to knock Lin Che’s head.

Lin Che tutted. Seriously, why did he have to get physical with her for every little thing?

Very soon, Mu Wanqing caught the husband and wife’s movements and walked over to say, “It’s boring to just listen here. If there’s nothing, you can go in first.”

Lin Che looked at Mu Wanqing in admiration, “Mom, you were so great just now.”

Mu Wanqing laughed and looked at Lin Che, “Mom is getting old and muddle-headed. Learn what you can now. All these matters will become yours in the future.”

“Phew,” Lin Che nearly spat out. Looking at Mu Wanqing, she quickly asked, “How could I do all these?”

Mu Wanqing said, “You will learn to. It’s not that hard either. It’s just matters regarding the maids in the house, the kitchen, and the small matters of those brothers and of some elders. But you do have to be more careful. This house key must be held in your hand.”

Lin Che speechlessly said, “Then it’s all the more I don’t know how. I’m especially bad at math. I have never passed it.”

Mu Wanqing said, “Is that so… But when Jingze takes over the family business in the future, the entire Gu family will also be Jingze’s. Since you’re married to Jingze, the role of the house mistress will definitely be yours. It’s alright. There’s nothing wrong with being bad at math. When the time comes, let Jingze guide you.”

“…” Lin Che suddenly felt a mountainous pressure.

She never thought that marrying Gu Jingze would entail being the house mistress of such a huge family like the Gu family.

When Lin Che went home with Gu Jingze, she tugged at his clothes in the car and whined, “I don’t know. I really don’t know how to do all those. Tell me, what are we going to do? If I really do all these things in the future, I’m going to die.”

Gu Jingze looked speechlessly at Lin Che.

If it were other women who heard that they would become the Gu family’s house mistress, they would have been so happy that they wouldn’t have been able to fall asleep.

But this woman in front of him said it as if it was so scary. She wanted to avoid it.

Gu Jingze held her arm and made her stop moving. He stared into her eyes and asked, “Do you want to know what is the main role of the Gu family’s house mistress?”

Lin Che immediately widened her eyes earnestly and waited for Gu Jingze to continue.

But Gu Jingze inched closer to her and whispered in her ear, “To serve the master of the Gu family’s house well, especially in bed…”

“…”

Wasn’t he the master of the Gu family’s house?

Gu Jingze smiled mischievously, “Focus on this task well and you’ll be a good house mistress in the future.”

“Get lost!”

Why didn’t she find that he was such an immoral man in the past!

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che’s face which immediately turned sullen and black. She pursed her lips and looked at him in a very dissatisfied manner. It made her look silly yet interesting.

Gu Jingze had never come across a woman as silly as her. If a person knew just a little bit more than her, she would be in total admiration of that person. It really made one speechless.

At the start of the year, the company’s annual meeting was soon prepared.

Since it was Lin Che’s first time invited to the annual meeting, she specially prepared for it as well.

The guests invited to the annual meeting were all the company’s big celebrities as well as the company’s partners and investors.

Lin Che saw the guest list and started to get nervous in her makeup room, “I’ll get to see the company’s top artist, Xin Xiaoyuan, today.”

“Yes. Although she’s always busy, doesn’t come to the company often, and doesn’t attend any meetings in the company, she still comes back for the annual meeting every year,” Yu Minmin said.

“And there’s Song Shuhai. I remember when I first joined the company, I applied to be her assistant. I didn’t get it through.”

“Don’t get so excited. You’re a star yourself now and you’re not behaving like one. You’re going to be bigger than them in the future.”

“How can that be? They’re already in the top league and I merely had one lead role. How can I compare with them?”

“You’ll film even more TV dramas in the future. Of course, you’ll get bigger than them gradually,” Yu Minmin looked speechlessly at this naïve Lin Che. “Be careful later and don’t get too close to them.”

Lin Che’s big personality better not get teased by those old foxes, Yu Minmin thought worriedly.

Soon, it was time.

Lin Che carried her skirt and entered the hotel that was booked by the company. The top floor was dazzling. Although it was a private event, some fans got wind of the information and were loitering outside the hotel. It was chaotic below.

Before Lin Che went in, she saw from a distance that all the company’s top executives have arrived. They were the biggest names in the industry and it was rare to see them. Now, they were all here and Lin Che felt nervous.

Yu Minmin cheered her on from beside her and said, “Have you forgotten that you are THE Mrs. Gu? You’re by Gu Jingze’s side daily and have met all kinds of people. Why are you actually getting nervous here now?”

Lin Che retorted, “Of course you’re not nervous. You’ve been in this company for so many years and you are in meetings with these people daily. You’re definitely not nervous, but this is my first time. Right now, I don’t even know what to say.”

Yu Minmin heard this and scoffed, “So, when I usually see Gu Jingze, I think the same thing as you. No, definitely worse than you. At least you’re only meeting some big bosses in the industry. Yours is Gu Jingze. Do you know how many people in the country want to see him? Do you know how scared I am to stand in front of him? It’s a lot worse than your situation.”

“Is it?” Lin Che blinked her eyes. Perhaps it was because she already slept with him at the start, so she never felt any fear standing beside him.

Just then, Lin Che exclaimed again, “Ah, I see Song Shuhai!”
