Gu Jingze said, “Didn’t you say that you would double the punishment if I ran away? I was afraid of that.”
“…”
He looked down and took her chin between his fingers.
“But if this is my punishment, I don’t mind any amount of punishment.” While saying this, he captured her lips in another sweet kiss.
Lin Che really liked the feeling of kissing him. She never got sick of it at all and wanted to deepen the kiss each time as if to absorb his energy. She also enjoyed how he played with her tongue. He teased her tongue and embraced her deeply thereafter. He then grabbed her legs and pulled her to his body. He lifted her high with each of her legs on either side so that he could kiss her with even more force.
As he walked out, the maids who saw them quickly acted as if they had not and got out of the way.
However, at the same time, they could not help but want to turn around to look at the clingy married couple.
“Eh. Young Master and Young Madam are truly a blissful couple. I feel so envious watching them,” the maid said lovingly and instinctively placed her chin on her hand.
They truly found it amazing, especially when they saw how Gu Jingze who usually looked cold as ice pampered Lin Che so much as if they were about to become conjoined twins.
Furthermore, their Young Master was so charismatic when he was being gentle.
Shortly after, the family gathered to eat dinner.
It was rare for Gu Xiande to come out for a meal as well.
He glanced at Lin Che and Gu Jingze upon seeing them. Gu Jingze greeted him followed by Lin Che.
Gu Xiande glanced at Lin Che, waved, and said, “Hn. Alright, alright. Sit down and eat.”
Everyone had especially gathered at home this time to celebrate Gu Jingyan’s pregnancy. Naturally, the gathering could not go without advice for Gu Jingyan.
“You’ll be a mother in the future. Don’t throw tantrums with Beichen anymore,” Mu Wanqing said.
Gu Jingyan replied, “What tantrums? I’ve never done that.”
Mu Wanqing said, “You’ve been together with him for so many years but the two of you are still arguing. If you continue arguing after the child is born, the child will see everything. When the time comes, you wouldn’t want your child to laugh at you too, right?”
“Okay, okay. Mother, eat more. Yum.” Gu Jingyan hastily took some food for Mu Wanqing.
Mu Wanqing knew that she was trying to shut her up and did not want her to say anymore. Thus, she could only shake her head and look at Gu Jingyan.
Since she could not control her daughter, she turned to Lin Che and said, “Eat up, eat up. You must have been dead tired recently.”
“No, Mother. I’m not tired.” Lin Che smiled. She ate the prawn that Mu Wanqing had put on her plate and said, “Thank you, Mother.”
She started peeling the sh.e.l.l of the prawn then and there.
However, the sh.e.l.l of the prawn was a little hard. While peeling it, some blood appeared on her fingertips.
Mu Wanqing said, “Dear me, what’s going on? Are you bleeding?”
Lin Che hastily said in embarra.s.sment, “It’s nothing, it’s nothing. Just a small wound.” After saying this, she stuffed her fingers into her mouth and sucked on it, hoping to solve the problem.
Beside her, Gu Jingze saw this and put down his chopsticks. Then, he said, “Alright, stop peeling. You’re so clumsy.”
He pulled her hands to him swiftly and frowned as he looked at the wounds on her fingers. Then, he glared at this careless Lin Che again. Nevertheless, he bent his head down and blew at her wounds carefully. Thereafter, he unexpectedly placed her fingers into his mouth directly and sucked on them slightly.
Immediately, Lin Che sensed everyone’s eyes on them.
Lin Che’s expression was so awkward that her face nearly hardened into a rock.
Did Gu Jingze not notice that she had already sucked her fingers earlier? How could he still stuff them into his mouth?
Gu Jingze lifted her hands and looked at them again. Seeing that her fingers were fine, he said, “That’s enough. Put the prawns here, I’ll help you peel them.”
Lin Che made a sound of affirmation. Gu Jingze took the remaining prawns from her and started peeling them quietly.
On the other side, Gu Jingyan’s jaw seemed as if it was about to drop. She looked at Gu Jingze and said, “Second Brother, you’ve really changed.”
Gu Jingze frowned. “What?”
Gu Jingyan noticed his gaze and hastily said, “Nothing, nothing. It’s just that I really envy you, Sister-In-Law.”
Lin Che’s face turned even redder as she said, “What…”
Gu Jingyan said, “Tell me. Don’t you think the young ladies out there will feel their hearts jump out when they see Second Brother like this? Yet you’re enjoying such tenderness from him every day.”
Gu Jingze’s eyes sank again and he glared at Gu Jingyan as a warning.
Mu Wanqing sat there watching. She laughed and said, “Child, this means that your Second Brother has matured.”
Gu Jingyan said, “No, no. It means that Sister-In-Law is full of charm. Look, Second Brother is still so fierce towards me.”
Gu Jingze looked at her. “You’re going to give birth to a child for another family. There is no point being nice to you.”
“Excuse me? This child from another family is going to be your biological nephew in the future. How dare you reject my child? Do you dare reject him?”
Gu Jingze merely kept silent and placed the peeled prawn into Lin Che’s bowl.
Mu Wanqing smiled and turned her head only to see Gu Xiande eating quietly as well. His gaze landed on Lin Che and Gu Jingze. He glanced at them before saying to Gu Jingyan, “Once the child is born, get your mother to send an experienced maid to go over and a.s.sist you.”
“I don’t think there’s any need…”
“They’re from the Lu family, so we’re worried.” Gu Xiande continued, “After all, this is the first child of a new generation in our Gu family. Even if his surname is Lu, we’ll still dote on him like he’s our own grandson.”
Gu Jingyan smiled and started eating, feeling a little pressured.
As she looked on, Lin Che felt that the children of the Gu family definitely grew up with gold spoons in their mouths. The moment they were born, there were so many people waiting on them hand and foot.
Finally, they finished their meal. Gu Jingze went out to give instructions on setting up their new house here, so Lin Che stayed inside to chat with Mu Wanqing and Gu Jingyan.
Gu Jingyan was still saying, “Mother, you didn’t see them earlier. The way Second Brother looked at Sister-In-Law gave me gooseb.u.mps. Second Brother is truly… so loving that people may die looking at him.”
Mu Wanqing asked, “What? I’m getting more and more confused by the way you guys speak now.”
Gu Jingyan said, “Anyway, it just… gives me gooseb.u.mps. Eh, no wonder so many women are in a rush to be in line after you when they see Second Brother and you. Second Brother is so attractive when he’s being nice to someone, so the women will definitely throw all caution to the wind. Sister-In-Law, you must keep an eye on Second Brother in the future.”
Lin Che said disbelievingly, “I don’t know how to do that…”
“I’ll teach you if you don’t know. Sneak a tracker onto his body, hehe…”
“You only know how to teach the wrong things.” Just then, Gu Xiande’s voice unexpectedly traveled from inside.
The moment Gu Jingyan looked up and saw Gu Xiande, she quickly stuck her tongue out and lowered her head.
Gu Xiande looked at Lin Che. “Little Che, come here for a moment. Grandfather has something to give you.”
Lin Che paused and glanced at Mu Wanqing who looked slightly worried. Mu Wanqing stood up and said, “Father, this…”
Gu Xiande said, “Don’t worry. It’s something for the wedding.”
Mu Wanqing only stopped worrying then. She said, “Go, Little Che.”
