As she spoke, she looked enviously at Lin Che, “I didn’t think that Gu Jingze was actually this handsome in person. I actually was able to meet him one day! Oh my God, I’m going crazy. I’m actually standing beside Gu Jingze.”

Yu Minmin looked at this excited girl and chuckled as she reminded her, “But you can’t tell this to anyone else. You should know.”

“Oh, I understand, I understand,” Yang Lingxin nodded furiously.

Lin Che laughed and could understand that kind of expression when meeting Gu Jingze for the first time.

Even for herself, when she first realized how rich Gu Jingze was, she was also stunned.

Gu Jingze returned just then. Yang Lingxin looked at him with glowing eyes.

Gu Jingze naturally glanced at the girl but his eyes only swept over her. He couldn’t even remember who she was.

He just didn’t recall Lin Che having this person by her side.

Lin Che still remembered and said to Gu Jingze, “Gu Jingze, this is Yang Lingxin, my new assistant. Oh right, do you remember her? When we went shopping, we bumped into her.”

Thinking about that time when he wrapped the scarf around her neck made her heart soar.

Gu Jingze recalled, then looked at the girl, and nodded.

Lin Che said, “What do you think? She’s also a pretty girl after some cleaning up.”

Gu Jingze heard this and glanced at her again but he didn’t find her pretty.

She couldn’t compare with Lin Che. She couldn’t compare at all.

He turned back and said to Lin Che, “Everything is ready. Let’s go.”

The group entered the car. Yu Minmin and Yang Lingxin sat in the bodyguards’ car and were sent home.

Granny was in the ambulance in front while Gu Jingze and Lin Che sat in the Maybach behind. Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che’s anxious face and, for a moment, forgot how angry he was previously.

He really didn’t know when he became so hopelessly blind.

However, he already spoke plainly to Lin Che, “Okay, don’t worry anymore. I promise you that nothing will happen to your grandmother.”

Lin Che listened to his hard and determined voice. She turned to him, “You don’t need to promise me this. Life and death are determined by Heaven. Whatever happens to my Granny is up to fate. Alright, Gu Jingze. Don’t worry, I’m not crumbling. You won’t suddenly lose your wife.”

Gu Jingze glared at her, seriously…

Lin Che continued, “It’s just that when my mom passed away, she told me that she let Granny down. She didn’t listen to Granny and got cheated outside. Thus, Granny was left all alone for the rest of her life. She didn’t dare to return home and she was always afraid of mentioning Granny. Maybe she really felt very guilty… I want to treat Granny better and help my mom to make it up to her. I never knew whether Granny was alive or not. I thought she already passed away until today. Seeing her like this makes me very sad…”

Lin Che’s eyes watered.

Gu Jingze saw this and couldn’t help but forget about her saying that she didn’t want to be so intimate.

His hand held her palm delicately.

Lin Che leaned against there, feeling his familiar scent and body drawing closer.

That scent that made one lustful carried an enigmatic charisma.

He put his arm around her shoulders and gently hugged her body.

Lin Che closed her eyes and thought about her various moments with him.

He was always so gentle that it was hard for her to pull away.

It was supposed to be a contractual marriage, yet he still seemed to be leading her into his deep abyss.

She already said that she wanted to keep a distance. Why did he have to help her and give her such tender, loving gentleness?

Lin Che suddenly pushed Gu Jingze away and she moved back a little. She looked up at him, “Gu Jingze, why are you so nice to me?”

Gu Jingze frowned and looked at her angry, petite face. He felt even more unhappy.

Couldn’t he be nice to her?

Why was she so angry instead when he was nice to her?

She was really a strange woman. Did he really have to ignore her completely for her to be satisfied?

“What’s wrong with being nice to you? You’re my wife, Lin Che. I should be nice to you.”

Wife only?

It was only because she was his wife, so he was nice to her?

Yes, he was just carrying out his responsibilities to her.

“Can you not bother about me anymore, Gu Jingze? Don’t care about me at all. Let me handle things myself. No matter how hard it is, let me do it,” Lin Che said.

Gu Jingze frowned deeply at her, “Why? You don’t like it when I help you? But you’re my wife, I can’t just look at you and not bother.”

“Since when were you so responsible? I don’t need your responsibility,” Lin Che exclaimed.

Gu Jingze asked in puzzlement, “Is it not good to be responsible?”

Not good, not good at all.

Lin Che suddenly had a crazy thought.

She didn’t want him to feel responsible for her at all.

She didn’t want him to be nice to her just because she is his wife.

She felt that she was so selfish, so greedy, and so crazy.

What she actually wanted was his love.

She wanted him to love her.

It turned out that all that anger, sadness, sourness and jealousy were all because he loved Mo Huiling and not her. However, she didn’t want anything else. She didn’t want him to be nice to her and she didn’t want him to pamper her. She didn’t want him to feel responsible for her; she wanted him to love only her.

“Anyway, I don’t want you to care about me,” Lin Che said firmly.

Gu Jingze pulled her arm, “Who am I going to care about if not you? You are my wife.”

“Enough! Stop being nice to me, Gu Jingze! Otherwise, if I always want you to be nice to me, I’ll become very scary. I’ll take it for granted that you’re nice to me. I don’t want to see you be nice to anyone else and I’ll get angry if you do.”

That thought barged into her heart and made those words rush out of her mouth without any other reasoning. She felt shocked hearing herself utter them.

Surprise flashed across Gu Jingze’s eyes. He looked at Lin Che, “What do you mean? You…”

Gu Jingze grabbed her hand. The chauffeur had stopped the car and left a long time ago. In that narrow space, the two pairs of blushing eyes gazed at each other.

He looked at her and couldn’t understand why she was so angry. He didn’t understand why it would be scary, “I naturally want to be nice to you. I will also be nice to you only because…”

“No…” Lin Che immediately stopped him.

She didn’t want to hear him say, yet again, that it was because she was his wife.

“Don’t you get it? That’s not what I want!”

“Then what do you want?
