nThe two of them shook hands casually. From behind, Mu Wanqing smiled while saying, “Quick. Have a seat. What’re you all looking at?”

nLin Che quickly walked to Mu Wanqing’s side. “Mother, I want to sit together with you.”

nMu Wanqing still wanted to say something but she thought that it would be more convenient for Gu Jingming and Gu Jingze to speak alone. Thus, she stopped herself from speaking again. She looked at Lin Che and said, “You cling to me so much. Be careful. Jingze will get angry.”

nLin Che hugged Mu Wanqing’s arm affectionately. “He’s welcome to get angry if he wants. I like Mother the most; I don’t like him.”

nMu Wanqing simply liked to cling onto her own daughter like this. She had always thought that it would be good to have a daughter like this. Now, with Lin Che being so clingy, it seemed to fulfill Mu Wanqing’s wish. She could not help but be even happier. With Lin Che on her arm, she let her cling as much as she wanted to.

nOn the other hand, Gu Jingze’s gaze rested meaningfully on Lin Che as he looked at her.

nHe only turned his head back again when he heard Gu Jingming call him.

n“The popular vote in the general election this time should still be in our favor.” Gu Jingze began to discuss serious matters with Gu Jingming.

nGu Jingming said, “The voting trend in C Nation isn’t obvious right now. There are still two cities with unclear voting trends.”

n“H City and S City?”

n“That’s right.”

n“H City has a larger grassroots population. If Big Brother is willing to quickly marry a Madam President from the civilian class, you will presumably garner quite a number of votes in exchange. I will build a series of manufacturing factories in S City again to take in the employees there. That will only leave us to deal with H City. Coincidentally, Big Brother is still short of a wife…”

n“…” Gu Jingming’s expression stiffened. He looked opposite him towards Mu Wanqing.

nSure enough, after Mu Wanqing heard this, she got immediately thrilled. “Yes, yes, your younger brother is right. Jingming, you’re already so old too. It’s time for you to consider settling down and having a family. A man can only give off a feeling of stability and maturity after he’s married. This will be better for your career as well. Furthermore, you’re already so old…”

n“Mother!” Gu Jingming put down his teacup and glared at Gu Jingze. “His matter has been resolved so now, you guys are starting to open fire on me together?”

nMu Wanqing said, “It’s because I think what Jingze said makes sense. In fact, girls from commoner families are good too. They’re genuine, unpretentious, and don’t have so many bad intentions either. Jingming, if you’re alright with it, I’ll help you choose a few; maybe those who are teachers or doctors… they’re not all bad.”

nLin Che did not expect Mr. President to also be put in a difficult position of being pressured to marry. She could not help but begin to watch the fun from here.

nGu Jingming’s gaze changed a little. He looked outside and was slightly lost for words.

nMu Wanqing recalled something again. She looked at Gu Jingze and Lin Che. “You two, don’t just look on either. Although you’re married now, Jingze is at the age to have a child as well. I won’t force you because I know that both of you are furthering your careers. However, you must start thinking about that too, you hear me?”

nLin Che froze at once, feeling slightly alarmed. She happened to glance at Gu Jingze’s expression opposite her. The two of them looked at each other in dismay. Worried that Gu Jingze was angry, Lin Che said frantically, “Mother, we still want to enjoy our lives as a romantic couple. For the time being… we don’t want children.”

nMu Wanqing thought for a bit before saying, “That’s true too. You’ve only been married for a short time, so you’re definitely unwilling.”

nGu Jingze’s brow furrowed. He looked on as Lin Che showed a panicked expression when she heard about children.

nIf he had a child with Lin Che…

nHe involuntarily thought that if he and Lin Che actually had a child, he or she would definitely be beautiful.

nLin Che’s skin was so white that it seemed like it was soaked in milk. And he was not too bad-looking either. If their relationship came to that point, their child would not have any flaws.

nBut perhaps the child’s intelligence would depend on luck. If he or she inherited that stupid brain of Lin Che’s, then his or her future would be worrisome.

nSeeing that Gu Jingze had indeed furrowed his brow tightly, Lin Che quickly said, “Yes, yes. And once we have a child, Mother won’t like me anymore. You’ll only like the child then. I still want Mother to dote on me for a while more.”

n“You… that’s true too. You’re still too young. We’ll see when you grow older.”

nMu Wanqing patted her shoulder dotingly.

nLin Che only heaved a sigh of relief at this. She smiled and looked at Gu Jingze opposite her. His expression was still gloomy.

nGu Jingze raised his eyes and calmly picked up his cup to drink water. He looked like he didn’t want to be bothered with her.

nLin Che thought, He’s so petty. Didn’t I already say that we would not have a child?

nEven with this, he was still angry.

nHowever, she then felt that something under the table was silently inching closer to her.

nWhen those toes tickled her delicate thigh, Lin Che blanked out completely. Instantly, her body stiffened.

nWith fiery eyes, she glared at Gu Jingze opposite her who was still maintaining a poker face. She cursed him in her head. What exactly was he doing?

nHowever, his leg was still moving upwards.

nHer dress was lifted up. Thereafter, she felt his skin traveling upwards even more slowly on her thigh. He was heading straight for her sensitive area.

nLin Che tilted her body immediately.

nMu Wanqing asked in surprise, “What happened?”

nLin Che’s face turned red instantly. “Nothing. There was just a mosquito.”

nWhen Mu Wanqing heard this, she raised her hand and said, “What’s going on? Why are there mosquitoes in the room?”

nThe maids rushed in to tackle the problem.

nAs Lin Che looked on, she glared venomously at Gu Jingze opposite her.

nHowever, Gu Jingze was still acting like nothing had happened. His head lowered as he drank his tea, his movements elegant and composed.

nLin Che thought gloomily, He was literally a beast in a human form.

nLin Che had just restrained her thoughts and sat down calmly. But this time, she again felt his long arm stretch directly under the table. His fingertips rested lightly on her leg. The coarse touch made her entire body jolt.

nThis damn jerk!

nHow could he play hoodlum at this time!

nOpposite her, the corners of Gu Jingze’s lips lifted upwards. As he touched the softness in his hand, his eyes began to perk up as well as if he was extremely pleased.

nHis scorching body heat vaguely passed to her through his palm.

nShe could still palpably feel that he was slowly beginning to caress her. The heat generated by the friction made her entire body even more tense.

nLittle by little, a pleasant numbness spread throughout her whole body. His caresses seemed to have a magical force.

nShe really wanted to slap his hand away fiercely, but there were still other people at the table.

nLin Che could only sit there and fidget uneasily. She glared at the man opposite her with an expression that seemed like she wanted to devour him.

nHowever, that man was acting like nothing was happening at all. He was still raising his eyelids and looking so comfortable.

nLin Che seriously could not tolerate him. With this level of acting, he was definitely even more professional than her, a professional actress.

nFinally exhausted of all her patience, Lin Che directly –

nMu Wanqing looked at Lin Che in confusion. “Are there still mosquitoes?”

nLin Che nodded her head vigorously. She glared unyieldingly at the person opposite her. “Hn, a big mosquito.”

nMu Wanqing paused before following her line of vision and looking opposite as well.

nGu Jingze raised his head with perfect composure. He looked at Lin Che with a very innocent gaze.

nMu Wanqing broke into a smile. She swept her eyes over the two people and thought that the two of them really looked more well-matched the more she looked at them.
