Lin Che heard this and immediately thought of Mo Huiling.
“Are… Are you talking about Miss Mo?”
Gu Jingze only ever had one girlfriend in the past. If it wasn’t Mo Huiling, who else could it be?
Gu Jingyan saw Lin Che mention Mo Huiling so graciously without looking affected at all. She smiled and answered, “Yeah. When Second Brother was with Mo Huiling, he never accompanied her like this. Don’t even mention accompanying her; the two would sit together so squarely like a pair of wooden blocks. They didn’t move even just a little bit.”
“Really? I suppose so. Gu Jingze is so old-fas.h.i.+oned while Miss Mo is a wealthy family’s daughter. She’s not as noisy as me. So when they’re together, it must be because they have to appear so elegant that they end up being boring.”
Gu Jingyan said, “Who knows? Anyway, Second Brother will never look after her or feed her because he never sat and chatted with her for that long. Second Brother actually never liked chatting with others.”
Lin Che listened in puzzlement, “Is that so? He’s a man of few words. He was like that when we got together at first but it became better after we got closer.”
Gu Jingyan laughed and shook her head, “See? It’s because Second Brother is with you. That’s why he is more talkative. You have no idea what outsiders say about him. They call him the Demon King of Ice. As long as you don’t agree with him, he’ll stare at you coldly and that stare can kill someone. Who would dare to talk to him?”
Just then, Gu Jingze returned. As he walked over, he looked at Gu Jingyan, “Are you talking bad about me?”
Gu Jingyan said, “No, I’m putting in good words for you.”
She winked at Lin Che.
Lin Che laughed and said, “Yes. She’s talking about how strict you are and how everyone is afraid of you.”
Gu Jingyan heard Lin Che’s words and almost burst out laughing.
Worried that she would give herself away, Lin Che quickly said, “Well, Jingyan, which university did you study at?”
Gu Jingyan said, “I’m at the University of Pennsylvania studying business and business administration.”
Lin Che blinked, “Wow, that sounds great.”
Gu Jingze replied, “Yeah. Do you think everyone is a blockhead like you? That’s the top business school in the U.S. It’s not easy to get in there.”
“Idiot, why are you insulting me for no reason?” However, Lin Che was filled with admiration. The Gu family’s genes were so good; each one was more capable than the previous.
Lin Che said, “Jingyan, you’re so smart. You’re more capable than your Second Brother.”
Gu Jingyan smiled and looked at Gu Jingze, “I’m only better in academics. Second Brother has a lot more experience in the real battlefield and he has a Ph.D. in several professional fields. I can’t compare to him.”
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze who was smiling proudly. Lin Che glared at him and then said to Gu Jingyan, “Jingyan, there must be a lot of people chasing after you when you’re in school. You’re so pretty and smart.”
Gu Jingyan said, “Not really…”
Gu Jingze said, “Alright, you don’t have to act humble in front of Lin Che.” He lowered his head and said to Lin Che, “She’s indeed very capable and she has no lack of suitors in school. She’s the campus belle and the school’s top scholar. She’s a legend among the high schools in C Nation but it’s a pity.”
He looked at Gu Jingyan, “You made it all too cheap for that Lu family’s kid. Right, why isn’t he here yet?”
Gu Jingyan looked at her wrist.w.a.tch and said, “I’ll ask in a bit.”
She got up, smiled, and left.
Lin Che looked at her back as she left and asked Gu Jingze, “Is Jingyan going to get married?”
Gu Jingze nodded, “That’s right.”
Lin Che asked, “You don’t like the guy?”
She could tell that Gu Jingze didn’t look pleased.
Gu Jingze said, “I just heard from Mom that the guy is the Lu family’s kid. The Lu family is M Nation’s royalty and M Nation’s const.i.tutional monarchy. You should know that since he’s part of the M Nation royalty, so he’s of equal status as us.”
“Oh, then isn’t that good? It’s only right to have equal status. Gu Jingze, if you didn’t have me, you would have married someone of equal status too.”
Gu Jingze replied, “That’s too bad. I’m already married and there’s no turning back.”
“Not really. If we divorced one day, you can still continue to look for that equal partner,” Lin Che said.
Hearing Lin Che still thinking about a divorce, Gu Jingze immediately shot her a look.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” he said coldly.
“What? If I angered you one day and you wanted me to leave, that would be a possibility.”
“You’re always angering me every day. Since when have I made you leave?” Gu Jingze said.
Lin Che looked at him, “Well, you’re so fierce to me every day. Who knows? Maybe one day, you’ll go overboard.”
“Since when have I been fierce to you?”
“Of course you have. You’ve always been fierce to me. I still remember at the beginning, you didn’t want me to come close to you. You would run me down whenever we had a disagreement.”
Gu Jingze thought about their interactions in the beginning. It did seem to be like that.
It was just that at that time, Gu Jingze indeed hated her. He hated her for ruining the peace in his life and barging into his life just like that.
However, he didn’t know that he would become accustomed to a different kind of life one day.
His hate for her wasn’t that kind of disgusted hatred. He only felt that she always appeared out of nowhere in his life. He couldn’t get rid of her no matter what. In the end, it became a sense of helplessness.
“Fine, I apologize. I was indeed fierce to you during that initial period but you weren’t any better to me.”
“Ha, you were so fierce. How else did you expect me to react?”
“You could have at least tried to accommodate my life. Not only did you fail to do that, you even deliberately posed in front of me. Of course, I couldn’t take it.”
However, he still accepted her in the end. Not only did he accept her, he even began to get used to her actions. Once he got used to it, it wasn’t that insufferable anymore.
Yu Minmin was brought into what looked like an office. Below her feet were gray marble tiles and in front of her were dense curtains blocking out the sunlight. Only a little light peaked through and dimly lit the room, leaving shadows dancing on the ground.
Yu Minmin was still trying to figure out where she was when she heard the door open from behind.
A person entered. She couldn’t tell what brand the custom-made leather shoes were from. The footsteps rang in the air.
She turned around and was met with a pair of dark eyes.
Mr. President.
Yu Minmin’s heart sank.
Gu Jingming looked at the woman in front of him. She was staring back at him cautiously.
Her face was small and she wasn’t the type to look stunning with just one glance. However, what stood out were her sparkling eyes. When she gazed at him, it gave him the illusion that she could see through everything.
Imperious.
Exactly. It gave one an imperious feeling.
