Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Yu Minmin only left when Gu Jingze returned. Seeing that Yu Minmin’s belly was already so huge, Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. “Your stomach will become that big too, right?”
Lin Che said, “Yes. Isn’t that so horrifying?”
Gu Jingze tapped her on the forehead. “Of course not. I find it quite interesting.”
“Really? What’s interesting about it?”
“Well… it’s difficult to imagine someone as small as you swelling to such a huge size. But won’t there be any problems with that? Won’t your stomach hurt?” Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che in worry.
Lin Che smiled and said, “You featherbrain. Why would it hurt?”
Gu Jingze was simply very worried. He supported Lin Che as they walked in. Lin Che said, “I’ve been seeing Niannian go out very often over the past few days. What has he been doing?”
Gu Jingze said, “He probably went out to play.”
Lin Che had a skeptical expression on her face.
Gu Jingze said, “Enough. What’s the point in interfering with him?”
Of course, Gu Jingze knew that Niannian had continued training for the past few days. Ever since he had left home during the new year, he was more hardworking than before. It seemed that the event had triggered his desire to become stronger.
Gu Jingze put his arm around Lin Che. “He wants to become stronger. This is something that every boy wants. Just leave him be. I will watch over him and make sure he doesn’t cause any problems that can’t be resolved.”
Lin Che said, “He used to cause trouble for no reason in the past. Fortunately, he was alone then. Even if he caused trouble, he did not cause too much trouble either. But look at what has happened now. He even has a crowd of people trailing behind him. Eh. I’m just worried that any trouble he causes now may not be a small matter.”
Gu Jingze stroked her hair. “I’m here, you know.”
Lin Che could only purse her lips and look at him. “By the way, I have some promotional activities to attend tomorrow.”
Gu Jingze furrowed his brow. “Okay…”
Lin Che held onto the lapels of his s.h.i.+rt with both hands and looked at him endearingly. “Don’t worry. I know how to protect myself. I won’t go to crowded places and I won’t let myself get shoved around. I have so many people with me and I even have Dongzi who is such a good fighter. I’ll definitely be fine.”
Gu Jingze was completely weak to the way she was acting coquettishly. As he looked at her endearing smile and her extremely flirtatious manner, he really wanted to pinch her lips.
She was definitely sent by the Heavens to punish him. If not, why would he lose all principles the moment he was in front of her?
He pressed his nose against hers and looked at her. “Alright. Be more careful.”
“Don’t worry,” Lin Che said in an even more gentle tone as she knew that he was worried about her.

The next day.
The celebrities had never-ending schedules at the opening of the new year. In fact, there were very few celebrities like Lin Che who could return home at ease to celebrate the new year.
Lin Che made her first public appearance after the new year. Her waist had not expanded yet and her way of dressing remained neat and clean as always. There was no sign at all that she was pregnant.
Today, she was here to partic.i.p.ate in the filming of a special episode for the reality show. The immense popularity of “Traveling Poor” made the atmosphere on set very exciting as well. The flow of people was never-ending; the reporters and various media representatives were gathered together and the fans outside were also screaming non-stop.
When Lin Che stepped out of the car, she immediately felt the heated atmosphere. For a moment, she was a little taken aback.
Abby who was with Lin Che supported her as she got out of the car. While walking, she said to Lin Che, “Not bad, not bad. They’re just as enthusiastic as Xue Yang’s fans.”
Lin Che smiled and looked at Abby. “Wow. You never forget to praise Xue Yang at all times.”
Abby’s face turned completely red. “Nonsense! Male celebrities have more fans than female celebrities in the first place. Their fans are more ardent than those of female celebrities. It’s not like you don’t know.”
“Yes yes yes,” Lin Che proceeded to say suggestively.
Of course, Lin Che knew that there were more female fans.
Thus, she knew that it was a little surprising that there were so many people present at the venue. It showed that the reality show was indeed extremely popular and that they were indeed at their peak of popularity right now.
The fact that her fans were on par with those of a male celebrity was definitely the biggest compliment. What’s more, this was in comparison to Xue Yang, a famous young celebrity.
Everyone had a great time at the event. Because of the sudden popularity of the show, every single person was in very high spirits.
In the end, Lin Che said that she wanted to use this opportunity to promote the movie that was slated for release. The rest of her male crew members also expressed that they would definitely help her out.
At the venue of the event, a reporter took the chance to ask, “After the show’s premiere, its viewer ratings and online streams are now much higher than those of “Let’s Travel Together”. Was it unexpected?”
The veteran host asked, “Why is that surprising? I think that after trying our best to film it, anything is possible.”
Of course, everyone knew that they could not win an argument against him. Thus, they turned to Lin Che and asked, “Did you meet Yang Ling recently?”
Lin Che smiled. “No. I spent the new year at home. I basically didn’t meet anyone.”
Everyone knew that Yang Ling had just gotten into a huge fight with Lin Che’s studio. Thereafter, she was taken off the show and given an advertising deal instead. She had really ended up in dire straits after the fight.
Everyone said, “In that case, the rumors said that the two of you had a conflict. Is there still a conflict now?”
Lin Che smiled and continued, “What conflict? We didn’t even know each other in the first place, so you can’t really call it a conflict. As for what happened with the studio, that’s a company matter. It doesn’t have much to do with me either.”
“Then, do you know that Yang Ling just got nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Name Awards?”
Lin Che said, “Is that so? Congratulations to her. The nomination list for the Golden Name Awards hasn’t even been released. I didn’t know about this yet. Your news travels so quickly.”
Indeed, Lin Che had not expected Yang Ling to get nominated.
At the thought of seeing her at the award ceremony, Lin Che felt uneasy as well but she did not have a choice either.
She welcomed anyone who came to her. No matter what scheme Yang Ling had or what trouble she wanted to cause in the future, Lin Che did not feel an ounce of fear. Anyway, if the water rose, she would use the earth to block it. She had been in the entertainment industry for so many years, so she had slowly gotten used to it.
When the show ended, everyone did not forget to bring attention to Lin Che’s new movie.
The veteran host started off first by saying, “Hey fellow reporters, don’t leave first. Our G.o.ddess’s movie is going to be released in a few days. Aren’t you guys going to ask about it?”
Lin Che’s face turned completely red from his teasing. The rest of them also started talking about it. They praised the movie relentlessly, making Lin Che feel very grateful as well.
When filming for the show finally ended, Lin Che was very careful all the way. However, when she stood up at the end, she nearly fell after tripping over a reporter’s foot.
Fortunately, at this moment, Dongzi caught her from the side and very quickly moved her aside.
Angered, Dongzi immediately pulled the reporter by the collar and looked at his face menacingly.
The reporter was very terrified as well and hastily said, “Sorry, sorry, Lin Che. I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Lin Che looked at the reporter whose face was deathly pale. Then, she waved her hand for Dongzi to let go. “Forget it. It’s alright.”
Only then did Dongzi let go of the reporter.
“Are you alright, Miss?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine. Let’s go.” Lin Che turned to glance at the reporter before walking down.
After getting off the stage, everyone merely looked at Lin Che in awe. As they did not know that Lin Che was pregnant, they did not think about anything else. “Lin Che, where did you hire these security guards for your company? They’re such good fighters.”
