Especially when he recalled Gu Jingyu’s watch. He recalled the day when he saw that wrist-watch on her dresser. He had actually flattered himself in thinking that it was a gift for him.

Gu Jingze did not speak a word. But it was clear that the veins in his face were throbbing. It made one momentarily feel that his facial expression was extremely terrifying.

Lin Che looked at him angrily. “Gu Jingze, say something. Where exactly are you taking me?”

The lift continued to move downwards. Then, the elevator dinged and its doors opened.

Gu Jingze remained silent but the expression on his face seemed to get more and more stiff. He continued dragging Lin Che forward like this.

This was the hotel’s presidential suite. The elevator was inside and it led directly into the suite when it traveled downwards.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze in surprise. “Why did you bring me here? Gu Jingze, say something.”

Gu Jingze turned his head around to stare at Lin Che’s face. His dark eyes were like a densely-clouded sky that weighed heavily downwards. They were like the silence before a brewing storm with the smell of a raging tempest.

“How far has your relationship with Gu Jingyu progressed?” He stared at her and asked.

Lin Che looked at him in surprise. “What nonsense are you spouting?”

Was she crazy? Why did she need to progress her relationship with Gu Jingyu?

It was completely impossible. Gu Jingyu knew from the start that she had already married. Right now, they were just friends.

Gu Jingze laughed grimly. “Nonsense? I’m asking you again. How far have you progressed with Gu Jingyu?!”

While his voice was not loud, it was vaguely laced with burning anger. Each word was like a needle that pierced straight into her.

Under his glare and his seemingly interrogating expression, Lin Che felt very distressed.

“How far have I progressed with Gu Jingyu? What does that have to do with you?!” Lin Che responded fiercely. She was so angry that she stood up and skirted around Gu Jingze in an attempt to leave.

Gu Jingze twisted his body and grabbed Lin Che’s wrist in one swift motion. He then dragged her back again.

“What you said just now… try saying it again!” Gu Jingze said.

Lin Che shook Gu Jingze’s hand off forcefully. “I’ll leave you alone and you should leave me alone too. If we’re in a contractual marriage, this should just be a contractual marriage. Don’t go so far as to forget who you are!”

“You…” He was forgetting who he was?

Gu Jingze was boiling with so much rage that his face even began to contort.

To him, she was the one who had forgotten who she was and who he was.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. She recalled the sarcastic remarks she had received from Lu Chuxia and also felt aggrieved for herself. When she had gotten involved with him, she had not known either that he was the great Gu Jingze, someone whom she could not afford to offend. She lived according to her own way and just wanted everyone to be a little happier. However, to the Gu family, she lacked manners and was uncultured. To him, she was but a fool who knew nothing.

She was very sad inside and she really wanted to become a highly cultured and proper young lady too. But would she still be that?

Suddenly, Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che and pushed her directly onto the sofa inside.

“Lin Che! You better be aware of what you’re saying!” Even Gu Jingze’s eyes were flaming and his gaze was red-hot as he looked at Lin Che lying on the sofa.

Biting her lip, Lin Che gazed at Gu Jingze. “Of course I know it well. Our marriage is just a contractual marriage. If we get along, then we’ll continue. If we don’t, then we’ll get a divorce. I don’t want to bother with you. You should do the same too. I don’t care about what goes on with you and Lu Chuxia, so don’t you come and interfere with whatever relationship I have with someone else either! Gu Jingze, don’t tell me that you’ve fallen too deep in the act!”

“You…” Gu Jingze’s expression darkened by several degrees.

He glared piercingly at Lin Che’s proud, stubborn face.

He had spoiled her too much only to allow her to become so brazen now. She was now riding roughshod over him, right?

Gu Jingze lowered his head and quickly grasped Lin Che’s wrist. He stared at her face unwaveringly. “I’m too deep in the act, right? This is a contractual marriage, right? But as long as you’re my wife, you’re obligated to do what a wife should do.”

Lin Che only felt his hand tightening more and more to the point where she felt that her wrist was about to break.

“You… What are you doing? Let go of me, Gu Jingze!”

“What am I doing? I’m doing something that a husband ought to do!” While saying this, Gu Jingze’s kisses rained down on her like a violent tempest.

Lin Che immediately froze. She felt Gu Jingze push her directly onto the sofa. In the next moment, his tall and large figure pressed down on her and Lin Che instinctively began to resist.

“Let go of me, let go. Gu Jingze, let go of me. I don’t want this. Don’t touch me,” she shouted while punching and kicking.

However, this intensified Gu Jingze’s anger even more instead.

She did not want him to touch her?

Then, whose touch did she want? Gu Jingyu’s?

Gu Jingze bit Lin Che’s neck and left one mark after another on her skin.

While pushing him forcefully, Lin Che only felt extremely aggrieved inside. What was Gu Jingze doing?

The bites he left behind were raw and painful. However, he did not stop even for a moment. With both hands pressing her arms down, he used his mouth to rip her clothes open. In his fit of anger, the pale softness inside intensified the fire in his body.

Lin Che shut her eyes and did not have the strength to resist.

Gu Jingze ordinarily had a lot of strength and it was all the more so when he was in a fit of anger at present.

From the sofa to the carpet on the floor, from fully-clothed to completely naked.

He did not know how much time had passed before he stopped, panting.

Lin Che’s body was in pain and her skin was sticky too as if she had just been cooked through.

Gu Jingze drew in a deep breath. After he had fully vented his anger, he seemed to now gradually regain his calmness.

Earlier, Lin Che had not let out a single sound, so he had not noticed at the moment how rough he had been with her.

No matter what, he was usually more careful in satisfying himself while ensuring that she did not get hurt. However, he had been dizzy with anger just now and had forgotten everything.

He lifted his head up to see that an hour had already gone by. Beside him, Lin Che was drowsy due to her excessive fatigue.

Gu Jingze quickly sat up from the ground using his arms for support. Seeing that Lin Che was still lying there, he hurriedly looked down at her. “Lin Che, Lin Che, wake up.”

Lin Che frowned and hummed.

Her clothes were still strewn at the side and a blanket was covering part of her body, including her vital parts.

Gu Jingze hastily carried Lin Che up. “Stop sleeping. Go wash up first.”

Both of Lin Che’s arms had no strength. After he had pressed her arms down earlier, she had struggled for some time and she now felt as if she had exhausted all of her strength.

Gu Jingze looked at her drooping arms. His heart wrenched and he immediately quickened his steps.

He filled the bathtub with water before swiftly removing the blanket on Lin Che’s body. It was only after placing Lin Che into the water that he conspicuously saw the ghastly marks on her skin.

Suddenly, he recalled how he had completely failed to control himself earlier. Only then did he begin to regret a little.
