Chapter 77: You Definitely Misunderstood Her
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“What?” Mo Huiling did not expect Lin Che to even dare to retort.
Lin Che said, “That’s right. I did come out to walk the streets with him and to walk home together. That’s because in my eyes, he’s not a man who’s in danger. He’s a man who has the right to enjoy life and has the right to be an ordinary person. He’s my husband and the two of us share the same bed. Given our status and relations.h.i.+p, there’s no issue as to whether we can or cannot do something. He helped me carry things and accompanied me on a stroll because we’re a married couple!”
“You…”
“Indeed, I don’t understand the danger that you’re talking about. Because in my eyes, he was never an important person. He’s my husband!”
Mo Huiling’s face turned purple with rage at Lin Che’s words.
Lin Che merely snickered. “So no matter how low I am in your eyes, I’m Gu Jingze’s wife. Great Miss Mo, I don’t need you to criticize my life with Gu Jingze.”
When she was finished, Lin Che turned around immediately and left.
Lin Che only let out a breath when she came outside. She stood by the entrance and looked at the sky that was dyed thoroughly neon.
She was also very worried about becoming a burden to Gu Jingze. Because the gap in their lifestyles was so large, there were many things that she did not understand and many things that she was confused about.
She closed her eyes and sighed before striding forward.
However, when Gu Jingze returned from outside, he realized that only Mo Huiling was left in the cafe.
Upon seeing Gu Jingze return, Mo Huiling cried and sprawled onto the table.
Gu Jingze froze before walking over to ask, “What happened, Huiling?”
Mo Huiling raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears. “Jingze, I really don’t want you to live together with Lin Che anymore!”
Gu Jingze frowned as he looked at her. “What happened?”
Mo Huiling looked at him miserably and pitifully. “Do you know what Lin Che did to me just now?!”
Gu Jingze brow twitched. “What did she do?”
“She told me that it was you and her who are husband and wife. Whatever she does is always right and whatever I do is always wrong. She and you have an equal relations.h.i.+p. I… then what am I? Jingze, am I the third party? But clearly, you and I are a pair. Why did she say this to me? Why did she hurt me like this?”
Gu Jingze lowered his eyes to look at her. “Did she really say that?”
“Yes.” Mo Huiling said, “If you don’t believe it, you can go and ask her if she said that the two of you are the married couple. When you were here, she did not even say a word. The moment you left, she immediately started saying things like this to me. What exactly does she mean?!”
“That’s enough, Huiling. I think you misunderstood what she said,” Gu Jingze said.
“That’s impossible!” Mo Huiling said, “I’m not a fool either. I heard what she said clearly word for word. Why, Jingze? Could it be that you don’t believe me?”
Gu Jingze sighed. He sat down and looked at her. “No. I just feel that she’s not that kind of person. You probably misunderstood her; that’s why you misconstrued her words. Alright, Huiling. Don’t cry anymore.”
However, Mo Huiling bit her lips and felt even more upset.
Gu Jingze said, “Let’s go. I’ll get someone to take you home.”
“You’re not coming with me?” Mo Huiling said dolefully as she lifted her small face.
Gu Jingze did not see Lin Che. He was anxious to find out where Lin Che had gone and what exactly had happened. He was vaguely worried that she was angry so after pondering for a bit, he still said to Mo Huiling, “I’ll look for you tomorrow again. Right now, I still have an urgent matter to attend to.”
Mo Huiling recalled that he had gone out in a hurry earlier to answer a call. She thought that he probably did have an urgent matter.
She thought to herself that she was definitely not like Lin Che who was not considerate of his busy schedule. She merely hooked her arm through his. She was careful not to touch his body so as to prevent him from breaking out in a rash. However, she also longed to feel his body heat. She looked at his perfectly handsome looks and said softly to him, “In that case, go ahead and attend to your matters. Don’t tire yourself out too much. I won’t be able to bear it. I know that you’re busy so I won’t disturb you.”
Gu Jingze drew in a deep breath and said to her, “Go home.”
“Hm. Remember to look for me tomorrow once you’re free. I’ll be waiting for you.”
“Alright,” Gu Jingze agreed earnestly.
After Mo Huiling left, Gu Jingze asked where the Madam had gone. In no time, his subordinates brought him along and together, they found Lin Che who was strolling alone by the side of the road in the direction of their home.
Gu Jingze caught up with Lin Che and said, “Why did you leave on your own?”
Lin Che thought that he would have to console Mo Huiling for quite a while. Seeing that he had come over so soon, she said perplexedly, “Why didn’t you properly accompany Miss Mo and chat with her?”
Seeing that Mo Huiling had gotten so angry, Lin Che also knew that Mo Huiling would definitely not have anything good to say about her after she left.
Gu Jingze raised his eyebrows and looked at her. “Why? Did you want us to chat for longer?”
Lin Che said, “Yes. It was rare for you to have b.u.mped into each other.”
“You’re really so thoughtful.” Should he praise her for being such a magnanimous and good wife?
Lin Che looked at him. “Of course, that’s the case. My personality is just… I forgot how the idiom goes. It’s used to describe someone who’s generous.”
“More tolerance will make you a bigger person?”
“Yes, yes. It describes me exactly.”
Gu Jingze lowered his head and swept his eyes over her chest.
“Hn. Your b.r.e.a.s.t.s are big.”
“…” Lin Che looked down and covered herself. “Get lost, you hoodlum!”
Gu Jingze broke into a smile. He only relaxed when he saw that she was not unhappy.
However, he recalled what Mo Huiling had said and tilted his head to ask her, “You told Mo Huiling just now that we’re a married couple, so whatever we do is always right?”
She just knew that Mo Huiling would not say anything good about her.
She did not seem to have phrased it in that way, but there was no problem with construing it like this either.
“Yes, is that not the case?” Lin Che intentionally acted stupid and tilted her head to look at him.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che blinking her eyes innocently with her face tilted. She looked extremely adorable and Gu Jingze helplessly shook his head.
“Yes, yes, yes. Your words were right.”
Lin Che said, “Of course. You’re my husband and I’m your wife. Didn’t you often say that we’re a married couple and that it’s only right for you to look after me? Thus, accompanying me on a stroll and helping me hold things are acts that a husband should do. Isn’t that right, Hubby?”
She was really becoming more and more daring toward him. She pulled on his arm when she came up to him and swung it back and forth. “Tell me, Hubby. Am I not right?”
He really felt that his heart was about to melt. He could not help but smile and look at her. “Okay, you’re right.”
Only then did Lin Che smile. She saw that they had almost reached the Gu villa. The two of them then went in together.
When they went into the house, Lin Che eagerly took out the pile of handmade soaps that the two of them had made.
Although they looked slightly strange as they lay there, the color of the handmade soaps was still pretty nice. She actually really felt a little unwilling to use them.
Gu Jingze looked on from behind her. He pointed at those in the pile that Lin Che had made. “These are really awfully ugly.”
“That’s impossible. This is called art. Do you understand it or not? It’s just like Pica.s.so’s art. This is called abstract art.”
Gu Jingze shook his head and said, “You’re so bad with your hands and feet. Worse still, you only know how to look for excuses.”
Lin Che turned her head back to glare at him.
A maid watched them from the side. Seeing that the two of them looked very happy, she could not help but interrupt and say, “Madam, Sir, did you make these? They look really good.”
Lin Che immediately turned her head and said, “Yes, I made all the nice-looking ones. The ugly ones were made by Gu Jingze.”
She picked up the soaps that they had made and looked at them. “What am I going to do? I can’t bear to use any of them.”
Gu Jingze leaned in close and said, “There’s no reason for you to be unwilling to use them. We can just make them again in the future.” He also picked up a handful to play with. He smiled and looked at her name on the soaps and said to her, “You use the ones that I made and I’ll use the ones that you made.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Che’s face instinctively turned completely red.
Gu Jingze proceeded to lower his head and say, “When you use it, won’t you feel like I’m touching you all over your body?”
“…”
