She seriously felt… so bashful. Why was Gu Jingze doing this to her here?

Lin Che pushed Gu Jingze away forcefully and asked Yang Lingxin, “Little Xin, what’s up?”

Only then did Yang Lingxin register what was happening and responded to her, “It’s nothing. I just wanted to tell you about the categories of those documents, but…”

At this moment, Shen Youran realized that Yang Lingxin was actually outside. She came out in a haste and pulled her swiftly back into the house.

She had just been clearing the dishes earlier and was completely unaware that Yang Lingxin had gone out.

This girl was so tactless. Any person with good sense would be able to tell that Shen Youran was giving the two of them some time alone. She did not expect that Yang Lingxin would actually interfere with her plan.

She pulled Yang Lingxin into the house. “Continue with whatever you two were doing. Continue. We’ll go in and clear the dishes.”

Yang Lingxin pushed Shen Youran’s hand away when she stepped into the house. “What are you doing?”

Shen Youran looked at her with her hands on her hips. “They were being intimate outside. Why were you watching them?”

Yang Lingxin recalled the intimate scene she had seen earlier. Feeling slightly uncomfortable, the expression on her face became even more awkward.

This was the second time she saw them be so intimate in front of her.

The first time, Gu Jingze had kissed Lin Che without hesitation despite the people around them. That sensuous scene had already surprised everyone. Now, the two of them had again given her such a show.

The way Gu Jingze had directly pushed Lin Che against the wall was so dashing.

Yang Lingxin’s mouth twitched. She asked, “But why is President Gu here?”

Shen Youran said, “Of course, he came to look for Lin Che. What else would he come here for?”

Yang Lingxin asked, “Did he come here to coax Sister Che into going back?”

“No. You don’t even know how much of a romantic he is. He simply bought the apartment beside ours and moved in. Goodness, it’s definitely my first time seeing someone cajole his wife this way.”

“Huh? Did he actually buy the apartment beside this one? Why is Sister Che still refusing to go back? President Gu came all the way here to seek her out. Is he planning to stay here too?”

Shen Youran thought that Yang Lingxin was poking her nose too far into Lin Che’s affairs. She looked at Yang Lingxin and said, “This is the romance between the two of them. They’re a married couple. There are bound to be some hiccups in married life. These hiccups will create some romance. Besides, there’s nothing bad about this place. It’s just an apartment. It doesn’t seem like Gu Jingze dislikes it.”

Yang Lingxin seemed to realize that she was interfering too much. She hastily said, “I was just worried that Sister Che was being too difficult. It might irk President Gu.”

Hearing this, Shen Youran looked at Yang Lingxin with even more irritation and said rudely, “No matter how difficult Lin Che is, Gu Jingze will never be annoyed. Do you know why?”

“Wh- why?” Yang Lingxin really wanted to know.

Shen Youran said, “Because Lin Che is Gu Jingze’s wife. His wife, do you understand? Gu Jingze dotes on Lin Che so much. Why would he be irked by such a small matter? Do you think that she’s just anyone to him?”

Shen Youran’s blunt words shocked Yang Lingxin.

Indeed, Gu Jingze was really very tolerant of Lin Che. Yang Lingxin pursed her lips and did not speak another word.

However, Shen Youran began to thoroughly dislike Yang Lingxin. She narrowed her eyes at her for a long time before saying, “If there’s nothing else, you can go first. Leave the documents here. I’ll remind Lin Che about them later. Even though Lin Che may not return so quickly.”

She intentionally worded her statement in such a suggestive manner. In response, Yang Lingxin merely nodded her head. Pursing her lips, she walked out.

After seeing that she was gone, Shen Youran muttered to herself, “Dangerous, dangerous. This Yang Lingxin seems weird.”

Meanwhile, Yang Lingxin was internally cursing Shen Youran out.

Who did Shen Youran think she was? If not for Lin Che, she would not have met Chen Yucheng. She would not have become Chen Yucheng’s assistant either, nor would she have met Gu Jingze. Ultimately, she would not have gotten the chance to be so arrogant.

However, the way Gu Jingze had pressed Lin Che against the wall flashed through her mind repeatedly.

Each and every action of Gu Jingze was so captivating. He was no doubt the person she had idolized since she was young…

Lin Che accompanied Gu Jingze into his apartment and turned around to leave.

But Gu Jingze pulled her back and said, “I don’t really know how to use the toilet. Aren’t going to help me take a look at it?”

“I- I don’t know either.”

“Come on. Help me take a look at it. Otherwise, how will I shower?!” Gu Jingze spoke into her ear.

Lin Che was really weak to Gu Jingze’s overly-clingy ways. She momentarily felt like she couldn’t resist him.

Nodding her head carelessly, she stepped through the doorway and said, “Fine, fine. Move aside. Let me take a look.”

Lin Che went in and made space for herself to make sure everything was working fine in the toilet. However, after looking around for a long time, she realized that things were a little complicated. The fast-heating water heater was not the kind she was used to seeing, so she was a little confused and could not get any water to come out even after a long time.

However, she sensed that the person behind her was coming closer and closer until she could no longer back away.

Lin Che turned around abruptly. His hand had already come up to grasp her by the wrist. The toilet was not as spacious as the one at the Gu residence. It was so small that it felt cramped when he alone was in it.

“What exactly are you doing…”

“Lin Che, I know that you’re still angry and that it still bothers you. But I’m telling you that I’m currently resolving my problem with Lu Chuxia.”

Lin Che froze.

Was he trying to explain things to her again?

Gu Jingze said, “She has blackmail material that she can use against me. That’s why I met her. But I won’t meet her in the future. I’ll resolve this issue as soon as possible.”

Lin Che was even more surprised. She looked at him and said, “She has blackmail material against you… is it serious?”

“It’s not serious. Don’t worry about it,” Gu Jingze said.

Lin Che thought that no matter what it was, Lin Che would probably be unable to help.

She was a useless wife.

Lin Che said, “Then, you can’t lie to me the next time!”

“Yes, I won’t lie to you ever again.”

At this moment, Gu Jingze had already lifted her in his arms and was pressing against her. He missed her and wanted her.

But…

Lin Che continued to push him. “You… did you come here just to do this?”

“No, I came here just to explain to you… of course, if I could also use this chance to… ”

“No, no, no. I don’t want it!” Lin Che was blushing as she pushed him. If she did not go back in a while, Shen Youran would definitely know what happened here. Then, she would mock her to death.

“Let go of me. I still need to go back there. If you can’t use this toilet, just go back. Seriously…”

“Lin Che! Are you really going to be so heartless as to not let me touch you?”

“You… if you really came here to genuinely apologize to me, don’t touch me today! Then, I’ll believe that you came to apologize.” Left with no choice, Lin Che could only use this excuse to block his chest.

Gu Jingze looked at her in disbelief. “Do you really not want me to touch you?”

“I don’t want you to. It’s time for you to prove your sincerity!”
