Chapter 143: I’m Not Letting You Leave
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
For the sake of a free ride home, Shen Youran decided not to pick a fight with him. She humbly got in the car and soon reached home.
When she alighted, Shen Youran then pulled a face at Chen Yucheng and said, “Being a lackey may give you a car and money, but you still had to send me back. Heh heh heh.”
She immediately ran inside.
“You…” Chen Yucheng could not chase after her in time. He could only watch her run into the lobby and shut the gate forcefully.
Sitting in the car, he mumbled, “What a fast runner.”
Shen Youran entered and immediately was pressed by her own mother.
“Ah! You scared me, Mom,” Shen Youran exclaimed.
Her mother pulled her towards the window and pointed down at the car that just drove off. She asked, “Who just sent you home?”
Behind her mother, her sister Shen Youlan chimed in, “Yeah, Sis. Who was that? Why did that person send you home? I saw that the car was a Porsche too. When did you get to know such a big shot? Why didn’t you tell us?”
Shen Youran looked at her own mother and sister speechlessly, “It’s just a friend sending me back.”
“You’re not dating?”
“Of course not,” she and Chen Yucheng dating? She must be mad.
Disappointed, her mother let her go, “I knew it. A rich person like that won’t fancy you. You’d better go for matchmaking.”
On the other hand, Shen Youlan jumped around and said, “Sis, since that’s not your boyfriend… You can introduce me. If you can’t handle him, I can give it a try.”
“Exactly. Does he have a girlfriend? If he doesn’t, you can introduce your sister. She’s twenty years old already; she can date. Partners must be found early or otherwise, all the good ones will get s.n.a.t.c.hed up.”
“He has plenty of women. You guys can give up on that thought,” Shen Youran could not stand the money-grubbing mother and daughter pair anymore. She quickly went into her own room and remembered that she still needed to prepare a gift for that silly Lin Che the next day. She excitedly turned on her computer…
On the other side.
Gu Jingze brought Lin Che home. When they entered the house, he made everybody leave and singlehandedly brought her into the bedroom. He laid Lin Che on the bed and took a wet towel to wipe her face.
He looked at Lin Che’s face which was all red from drinking. Seeing that she wasn’t noticing, Gu Jingze bent down and kissed her forehead. Then, he thought of how this woman actually went out to drink by herself. He got angry and knocked her head.
Lin Che winced and woke up. She opened her eyes and upon seeing Gu Jingze, she frowned and pushed him away.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che in puzzlement, “Are you playing drunk with me again?!”
“Bad person. I don’t want you coming over!” Lin Che said.
Gu Jingze’s face darkened, “How am I bad?!”
Lin Che said, “You’re just a bad person. You’re always bullying me!”
Gu Jingze thought, If she said that, then he would always want to bully her. He patiently replied, “Silly, that’s not bullying. That’s me adoring you.”
Lin Che was still in a daze and did not really hear what he said. She pushed him with all her drunken might as if she was venting her unhappiness, “Let go of me, get out. I don’t want to be with you.”
“Alright, Lin Che. What’s wrong?”
Lin Che angrily pushed away his hand, “You have a woman you love; why do you still want to provoke me? You’re bullying me!”
Gu Jingze froze.
Lin Che held up one hand and pinched his cheek. Because she was drunk, it was as if she was in a dream. Her footsteps were airy and her body was extending. She could no longer differentiate between reality and a dream. She could only rely on her instincts.
Gu Jingze was right in front of her eyes. She looked at his devilish face and in that moment, she felt lucky indeed. People could not touch a man like this even if they wanted to. And yet, he was right in front of her every day.
However, she was not lucky either. After meeting Gu Jingze, which other man could make her feel this way?
She was afraid that if she left him, she would never fall for anyone else.
Then why did she meet him? She met him but could not have him.
When she had him, it was only temporary.
If his arrival was merely a pa.s.sing one, then wouldn’t it be better to have never met at all? Then perhaps she would be leading a normal life and married to a normal man instead of how things were now…
“b.a.s.t.a.r.d, gangster, bad person. Gu Jingze, when are we getting a divorce? Give me a time frame!”
Lin Che repeatedly hit Gu Jingze’s shoulders as he remained still. He looked at Lin Che’s anguished face and endured her continual beatings.
Until she had no more energy, he remained there and not moving.
Gu Jingze looked at her pet.i.te face, “Do you really want a divorce so bad?”
Lin Che slowly lifted her head and looked at Gu Jingze, “Yes.”
Yes, she wanted to leave him as soon as possible to save herself from falling even deeper.
If she left now, perhaps everything wouldn’t be too late.
Gu Jingze looked at her deeply as a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. After she said that she suddenly wanted to leave, he had a strange feeling of wanting to keep her by his side no matter what.
Even if he had to tie her up to keep her beside him, he did not want her to leave.
Why did he think that way? He could not understand himself either.
He only felt that he had finally gotten used to her existence. But now, she wanted to abandon him and leave. He was not willing to think about a divorce. His heart hurt uncontrollably as he held her shoulders firmly. He did not realize how tightly he held her.
“What if I say that I won’t allow it? I won’t allow you to leave,” Gu Jingze’s deep voice resounded.
Lin Che looked up. Her head was still hazy but her eyes were clear. She looked into Gu Jingze’s intense eyes.
Those dark eyes somehow seemed to be even darker now. He pushed Lin Che onto the bed and held her down. He stared at Lin Che’s face with his hands on her shoulders. He lowered his eyes.
“W-… Why…” Lin Che lowered her voice as well. She was starting to become anxious under his gaze.
Why didn’t he allow her to leave?
Gu Jingze said, “You asked me when we can get a divorce?”
“Hm…”
“What if I say we’re not getting a divorce?”
“What?”
In the next moment, Gu Jingze’s kiss firmly fell on her lips. Lin Che felt that she was fainting; she was fainting in his arms from his pa.s.sionate kiss. It was unavoidable…
