Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Che got outside of the car and stood by the roadside, watching Gu Jingze.
He stood on the other side and talked on the phone. He held his phone in one hand while his other hand was tucked in his pocket. He looked like he was on the cover of a British magazine. He looked extremely elegant and beautiful.
Gu Jingze took a few steps forward and was about to come over. Lin Che also smiled at him. But just then, a car suddenly came out of nowhere and sped straight ahead.
Lin Che panicked. She took a step forward and yelled in Gu Jingze’s direction.
“Gu Jingze, move away!”
Gu Jingze looked up and Lin Che froze. She saw the car drive straight forward and in a split second, the image of Gu Jingze almost merged to the back of the car.
A huge bread truck blocked everything at that side. Lin Che ran across the road like a mad woman.
Gu Jingze was on the ground, seemingly unconscious.
Tears rolled down Lin Che’s cheeks as she rushed to his side.
She cried as she held up his shoulders and exclaimed, “Gu Jingze? Gu Jingze, wake up! Wake up!”
Tears fell like a thread of pearls and landed directly on his cheeks.
Gu Jingze opened his eyes and was greeted by Lin Che’s panicking expression.
Just before then, he wanted to take revenge on Lin Che and prank her the same way she did to him this morning.
But he did not expect her to actually be this worried.
He could not pretend anymore.
He looked at Lin Che and hugged her tightly in his arms. He held her with one hand while the other patted her back, “Alright, alright. I’m fine. Don’t cry…”
However, the tears just kept flowing. She could not stop.
Lin Che gazed at him with teary eyes. She could not contain her emotions.
At that moment, she really thought he was dying.
Her mind was completely blank back then and it remained that way even until now.
Deep down, she could not even imagine what she would do if he was really under the car and unable to wake up.
She could only hug Gu Jingze and bury her face in his embrace. She breathed in his scent and tried to calm herself down slowly. He was fine. He was still there.
She hadn’t lost him.
After a long while, she was still feeling scared. She looked at Gu Jingze and even reached out to touch his face. She wanted to feel if this was real or all just her imagination.
She gazed at him and her voice was hoa.r.s.e, “Are you okay?”
Gu Jingze thought revenge would have been sweet but when he saw that she actually cried, he already regretted it.
If he had known, he wouldn’t have made her that worried.
If he had known, he would have let it go after she pranked him and not tried to get back at her.
“I’m okay, I’m really okay. Touch me, I’m good. The car only grazed past in front of me. Nothing happened to me at all.”
He quietly held her hand and let her touch his face.
When he felt her hand trembling, he blamed himself even more.
“Alright, alright. Don’t cry anymore.”
She pressed her hand on his face and quietly touched him. Only then did her heart feel calmer.
He wiped away the tears on her cheeks sympathetically and looked at her, “I’m sorry.”
Lin Che shook her head. By telling her that he was fine, she felt that nothing else mattered.
Even though it was an accident, the driver of that car was quickly arrested.
And the Gu family were the first to be informed about this matter. They immediately brought him to the hospital to do a full body checkup before letting him go.
Mu Wanqing hurried to the hospital too. When she saw that Gu Jingze was fine, she nagged at him, “I already told you to bring more people with you. I’ll see how you handle things if anything happens to you.”
Lin Che’s face was obviously red from crying. Mu Wanqing sympathetically comforted her, “Alright, don’t worry anymore.”
After that, she turned to Gu Jingze and nagged again, “See? You scared Lin Che so badly.”
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and inhaled deeply. However, looking at her, his heart felt a slight warmth rising up.
Nothing actually happened to Gu Jingze. It was just that he wanted to prank Lin Che, so he intentionally laid on the ground.
When they left the hospital, Mu Wanqing insisted that he had to stay at her house to rest.
Gu Jingze also regretted it now. He didn’t think that one accident would make him give up a day’s work. He should rest properly at home.
Lin Che could also only tag along to their home and take care of Gu Jingze.
Mu Wanqing saw that Lin Che looked bored so she suggested, “If you like, you can go and play. You don’t have to accompany this old lady.”
Lin Che hurriedly said, “Oh no, I have nothing.”
“Tell me, what do you usually like to do? I’m old, so I don’t really understand what you young people like to do anymore.”
Lin Che said shyly, “I usually don’t do anything productive.”
She thought, Everything that she liked really couldn’t be something to show off.
She wondered if Mu Wanqing would find her uncultured.
“Outside of work, I usually like to surf the Internet, go shopping, eat food and stuff like that.”
“Oh, shopping? Is there any place good for shopping?”
Lin Che remarked, “Mom, even though the Gu family has many things, these are all specially bought by attendants. You don’t need to buy clothes, daily necessities, and food. It may seem very convenient, but I think that going out to shop, looking at all the goods, and picking out what you like really gives a satisfying feeling. Especially when you’re browsing a wide range of goods, it’s really fun when you get to pick your own things.”
Mu Wanqing said, “I have indeed never gone shopping myself.”
“Really? That’s because it’s too convenient at home. But when we usually buy things, we go shopping ourselves. Also, I used to be poor and there were no maids at home. Ordinary people like us have to go out shopping regularly.”
Mu Wanqing heard this and her eyes lit up, “Why don’t you take me out to shop later?”
“Huh?”
Mu Wanqing said, “I haven’t gone out to shop before. Little Che, take me and we’ll go for a spin.”
Lin Che was still worried, “Can we…”
“Of course we can!”
Thus, about an hour later, Lin Che really took Mu Wanqing out to a better shopping mall in the B district.
Mu Wanqing really had not shopped in a long time. As she saw that everything looked refres.h.i.+ng, she said, “Shopping malls now are made pretty nicely. I remember when I was young, I used to love exploring too. After that, it was really all prepared for the family. I didn’t have anything I wanted to buy either. When you’re old, you won’t really like to move around a lot.”
Lin Che laughed and said, “Mum, you’re still so young. How can you be old? Do you see? Those people over there must be thinking that I’m shopping with my sister.”
“Hahahaha. You really know how to make me happy.”
