Shen Youran jumped up instantly and hastily said, “It must be Gu Jingze, Gu Jingze. Good lord, my place is frighteningly messy. I really don’t want President Gu to see this mess. Tell me… can the two of you be affectionate next door instead?”
Lin Che glared at her but hastily went to open the door anyway.
Sure enough, when she opened the door, she saw Gu Jingze standing outside alone. He looked at Lin Che with clear eyes that seemed to hold an oceanic whirlpool. She fell into his eyes so easily.
Lin Che said, “What?”
“Are you two not going to eat?” He asked coolly.
Without waiting for Lin Che’s response, Shen Youran quickly said from behind her, “Of course, we’re going to eat. President Gu, you really have such good timing. We were just about to go eat something. President Gu, do you want to come with us? What do you want to eat?”
Gu Jingze glanced at Lin Che. “I’m fine with whatever. What are you guys eating?”
Shen Youran asked, “Why don’t we just cook something? Oh right, how about hotpot? We happen to have the sauce here.”
“Huh?” Lin Che quickly glanced at Gu Jingze. It seemed like he had not had hotpot before.
Inside the house, Shen Youran asked, “Why? Does President Gu not like hotpot?”
Lin Che was just about to say that it probably wouldn’t suit Gu Jingze’s tastebuds when Gu Jingze said, “I’m fine with anything. Let’s eat.”
Hearing this, Shen Youran immediately got up and said, “That’s great. We’ll go and buy some ingredients to cook now. There’s a supermarket just beside the complex.”
Lin Che looked at Shen Youran’s extremely quick actions and shook her head speechlessly. This Shen Youran was not usually so quick and decisive.
The three of them headed downstairs together. Gu Jingze was in the front as Lin Che and Shen Youran trailed behind him. Even while they were in the elevator, Shen Youran was deciding what ingredients to buy.
Just then, the elevator stopped and someone stepped in. The moment she saw Gu Jingze, her eyes immediately brightened.
She was completely unaffected by the fact that Lin Che and Shen Youran were looking at her and stared straight at Gu Jingze.
When the elevator reached the first floor, she finally could not hold it in any longer and hastily said, “Dear me, aren’t you the person who just moved in today?”
Gu Jingze paused before realizing that this aunt was talking to him.
These old wives were usually not interested in any celebrity gossip, much less financial news. Naturally, they did not know anything about the Gu family.
As she looked at the man before her, she simply felt that he had to be brilliant and he even looked so das.h.i.+ng. He made her smile until she was squinting. She looked at Gu Jingze and said, “You’re so handsome. Are you married?”
Gu Jingze glanced at Lin Che. As a person who was not good with words, right now, he did not know how to respond to this enthusiastic woman.
Without waiting for his reply, the aunt hurriedly said, “My daughter is only 24 years old. She graduated from our B City’s Q University. She’s a local. Why don’t you take a look? It’s a pity that I don’t have a photo of her with me right now. But we’re staying in the same complex. Why don’t you come to my house tonight? You’ll know it when you see her. My daughter suits you particularly well.”
“…” She was already beginning to pull strings to get herself a son-in-law.
Shen Youran and Lin Che stared speechless at one another. When they lifted their heads to look at Gu Jingze, they saw that he was still looking at the woman with a poker face.
Lin Che thought to herself that this evil thing could seriously attract everyone’s attention wherever he went.
His attractiveness did not cease for a moment.
Just then, other aunts outside from the same apartment complex noticed them too. Seeing that this woman had already gone up to them, the aunts, refusing to be outdone, quickly surrounded them as well.
“Young chap, why did you move here?”
“Lad, which company do you work at?”
“Who says he works at a company? Someone said that he owns a company. Young man, does your family own a company?”
“You’re seriously intolerable. I was just speaking to him here. Why did you guys come over and interfere?”
“What? Are you the only one allowed to curry favor with him for your daughter’s sake? Are we not allowed to? Young man, my niece is prettier than her daughter. She even graduated from a university overseas.”
“Hey, you… why must you be like this? So what if she graduated from a university overseas?”
Everyone immediately began to bustle with excitement. Shen Youran and Lin Che stood at the side and watched on in complete amazement.
These aunts who had nothing to do after retiring…
Finally, Shen Youran could not take it anymore and said without mincing her words, “Hey aunties, I’m telling you. All of you, stop wasting your energy. This man has a wife, alright? He’s already married, okay?”
The noisy aunts turned their heads to her all at once.
Shen Youran pushed Lin Che forward. “His wife is here. What are you guys doing?”
The aunts had been preoccupied with looking at Gu Jingze’s handsome face. Of course, they had not noticed Lin Che who stayed at the side and maintained a low profile in her baseball cap.
Having been pushed to the front at this moment, Lin Che could only lift her head a little and smile wordlessly at the aunts.
The aunts turned silent and looked Lin Che up and down. Although they did feel that she was very stunning, they nevertheless sized her up with disdain. They were not pleased with the fact that Gu Jingze actually had a wife despite his fairly youthful appearance.
They said, “Dear me. Since you already have a wife, there’s no helping it. We’ll see if there’s an opportunity in the future.”
“Hey, what opportunity are you talking about? They’ll live happily together for the rest of their lives. Mind your words.” Shen Youran was furious.
Lin Che simply drew in a deep breath. After the aunts left with their tails between their legs, she lifted her head and looked at Gu Jingze awkwardly. “I told you not to come.”
Gu Jingze raised his eyebrows. “Let’s go.”
Alright then. The only option was to continue walking.
They arrived at the supermarket within a very short time. They bought lots of ingredients and scanned the shelves for some daily necessities. Shen Youran constantly walked in front of Lin Che and Gu Jingze and did not loiter around them while Lin Che pushed the cart. Lin Che suddenly looked up at Gu Jingze beside her and asked, “Why did you come here? Didn’t you see that the apartment complex was a mess? The apartments are so small. Is it true that you’ve never lived in such a small apartment?”
“I’ll consider it an experience. ” Gu Jingze continued, “Besides the fact that it’s small, everything else is alright.”
“This place is so crowded too. It’s like a dormitory.”
“Then I’ll experience what it’s like to live in a dormitory,” he said while looking down.
“…” Fine then, since the great President Gu had said so.
After a long time, they finally finished buying whatever they needed and headed back. Although those aunts who were out on a stroll were no longer coming up to them to ask all sorts of questions, the aunts nevertheless looked at them curiously. Their audacity was astounding.
As they scrutinized the three of them, they were even brazenly talking about them without trying to keep it a secret at all. It was obvious from a glance that they were talking about Lin Che and Gu Jingze. The three of them instantly felt even more embarra.s.sed and did not know where to avert their eyes.
Fortunately, they arrived at Shen Youran’s place in no time.
Because Shen Youran had all sorts of condiments in her apartment, she immediately began to cook. Thus, they did not head over to Gu Jingze’s.
Shen Youran watched Gu Jingze walk in and sit on the small couch. Then, she said secretively to Lin Che, “Gu Jingze’s legs are so long. Look. My small couch is literally torture to Gu Jingze.”
