1310 Can’t Go Back In Time For Qixi Festival
Gu Jingze looked at her deeply in the eyes. “You want me to go away so badly?”
“No… I’m just worried about you being late.”
Gu Jingze looked at her sunken face. “You’re not angry, right? I’ll be back earlier.”
“You don’t have to.” Lin Che said impatiently. “Work is important. Go get busy.”
Once again, she pushed Gu Jingze towards the door.
Gu Jingze strode out in his leather shoes. Suddenly, he turned around, grabbed Lin Che by her waist, and bent down. He planted a deep kiss on her lips.
Lin Che could not push him away in time. His tongue was already deep in and Lin Che could not help but start to get intoxicated.
Her pretentious impatience instantly collapsed under his deep kiss.
He looked at her clouded gaze with satisfaction. He then released her and said, “Wait for me. I’ll be back as soon as I can.”
Walking to the car, Gu Jingze looked down to check the date.
It was three days to the Qixi Festival.
He seemed to gain some sense of clarity. No wonder she was so grumpy. Valentine’s Day was coming.
He smiled and said to his staff in front. “Make the arrangements. We’ll try to finish it as quickly as possible. We must come back within three days.”

Lin Che took some time to recover.
This Gu Jingze, seducing her without any warning.
She shook her head to clear her thoughts and then began to tidy up.
Firstly, she called Qin Hao.
Although Qin Hao was going to Di An with Gu Jingze, they did not take the same car.
Thus, he immediately picked up her call.
Lin Che said, “Don’t forget to stick to my plan once you’re there.”
“Yes, Madam… If I get murdered by President Gu, you must…”
“Alright, alright, don’t worry. I’ll rescue you. I won’t let you die in front of me, at least. Hahaha.”
Wouldn’t he still die…?
Qin Hao prayed silently.
“Madam, don’t pull my leg now. President Gu wouldn’t bear to do anything to you, but he’d definitely kill me.”
“Ah, Gu Jingze is not that scary. Off you go, then.”
“Sob… You’re not afraid of him, but we all fear for our lives.”
Qin Hao hung up with certain death in his mind.
Meanwhile, Lin Che hummed songs as she started to prepare.
“Dong Zi, help me get a ticket to Di An.”
“Yes, Miss.”
Gu Jingze reached Di An and began an intensified cleanup.
At Di An’s most prestigious restaurant.
After Gu Jingze arrived, he held a simple meeting with the people here.
Subsequently, the news of his arrival shook the royal family here.
Gu Jingze frowned and said, “I don’t remember informing anyone about my arrival.”
Qin Hao felt a tinge of guilt and then said, “Sir, it’s my fault. I told the subordinates that we were coming here and got them to check for any obstructions. That process probably alerted the people here.”
Gu Jingze glanced at Qin Hao.
But he did not say much. He only said, “Their Third Prince invited me for a meal this time. It looks like I can’t turn it down.”
It would just be a little waste of time.
He definitely had to oblige the royal family. Otherwise, it would invite unnecessary trouble from the adoring public here.
Qin Hao heaved a sigh of relief and went to prepare.
Without using the royal family, how could Qin Hao stall Gu Jingze? He had no other choice.
Madam already instructed him to stall Gu Jingze for some time. She did not want Gu Jingze to go back before the Qixi Festival.
Gu Jingze was also rather anxious. He looked at the time and date.
He had two more days.
Subsequently, Third Prince definitely had to hold a proper feast to meet Gu Jingze.
The luxurious lifestyle of the royal family here was well-known around the world.
It was not because they wanted to live lavishly, but they really were too rich and unknowingly raised their standards of living.
This was different from C Nation’s normally restrained culture.
In C Nation, the Gu family was rich and powerful, but they never thought of showing off.
But it was different here. They didn’t seem to care about all this.
Under the royal family’s hosting, Gu Jingze had no chance to do any work for two days straight.
He was finally losing his patience on the third day. Qin Hao said, “Sir, don’t worry. Madam will understand.”
At the mention of Lin Che, Gu Jingze’s expression turned even darker.
Qin Hao said, “Sir, take a look around here. Why don’t you consider getting a gift for Madam? At least receiving a gift first is better than nothing. We still don’t know when we can return. Why don’t we prepare for Plan B?”
Gu Jingze calmed down and began pondering what to buy.
Just then, Third Prince came again.
“Gu, I’ll take you to have a taste of our best ladies here.”
“No thanks. I’m not interested in ladies,” Gu Jingze replied.
“No way, you like guys? We have them too,” Third Prince said.
“…” Gu Jingze turned around. “I have a wife, so I’m not interested in these things.”
“Don’t be like that. I know it’s because you can’t touch women, but trust me. We have special medicine here that can allow you to touch women temporarily. You need to experience it just once.”
As they had a medical collaboration with the royal family before, Third Prince knew of his condition.
Gu Jingze asked, “Really?”
“Why? Are you interested in this medicine? It’s rare and it wasn’t easy for me to produce it. You’ll know once you try it.”
“How far will it go?”
“It kills all the enzymes for a short period of time. By smearing it on your body, it can completely block off these enzymes and you’ll be able to touch women. One gram is worth a thousand gold. It’s especially valuable, but I’m willing to give it to you. See how I’m so good to you? Why don’t you just give it a try?”
“I really have to pa.s.s. I have a wife.”
“Sigh… Fine. You are really… At least you can come with me to take a look, can’t you? I’ve been with you for two days and I haven’t touched any woman. I can’t take it anymore.”
Since Gu Jingze could not touch women, Third Prince did not bring any women along with them.
Gu Jingze looked at him, helpless.
“Let’s go.”
“That’s great! You can take a look when we get there and tell me if you’re interested. The women here are absolutely incredible.”
Gu Jingze looked at the time. Even if he rushed back now, he would still miss the Qixi Festival.
He couldn’t help but feel apologetic and frustrated.
But he was used to hiding his emotions, so n.o.body could tell anything from his face.
They arrived at the place, which was a leisure park built underwater. From here, they could see the sea creatures swimming around in the sea. The clear view of the sea creatures made people feel as if they were immersed in the underwater world.
This place looked expensive. The ladies were beautiful and came in all varieties.
The third Prince was like a b.u.t.terfly attracted to flowers. Upon entering, he immediately drooled at the sight of the ladies. “Wow! You see? The beauties here really come from all over the world. Ah, I’m especially into your C Nation’s culture recently. Look, I even brought back some C Nation specials here.”
They entered a VIP room. Sure enough, it was filled with antiques and looked extremely retro.
He probably spent a lot of effort to set this up.
