Chapter 482: It Was All Because He Was Too Charming

After Yang Lingxin headed in first to rest, Gu Jingze saw Lin Che standing there and watching her with sadness in her eyes.
He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her from behind.
Lin Che leaned into his embrace and felt his large hand stroking her body. It seemed that she was only letting her emotions out now. With her head buried completely in his chest, she wanted to cry. She wanted to burst into tears.
Gu Jingze had his arms wrapped around her. He could not help but embrace her even more tightly. As if he could guess how she was feeling, he said quietly, “Cry if you want to, Lin Che.”
Upon hearing his magnetic voice, Lin Che could no longer control herself. As she leaned against his chest, she began to cry.
Her tears were staining his clothes while her shoulders trembled.
She had never thought that she would encounter something like this.
Lu Chuxia was powerful, determined, and wealthy. But how could she be so evil as to instruct people to kidnap her?
These rich people probably thought nothing of it. However, they had never thought about how much trauma they would cause to ordinary people.
Now, Yang Lingxin had been hurt for no reason.
Gu Jingze sensed that she was weeping and suddenly lifted her up in his arms.
Lin Che raised her head and looked at Gu Jingze with teary eyes. “What are you doing?”
“You can take your time to cry in our room. I’ll take my time watching you.”
“You’re so mean…”
“It’s not often that you cry. So I want to admire you slowly without anyone else seeing you like this.”
“Get lost. Are you a pervert? How can you like to watch someone cry?”
“Of course, I don’t like to see you cry.” Gu Jingze stopped in his tracks and looked at her unwaveringly. “If it’s possible, I hope that you won’t cry a single tear in this lifetime. Because if you cry, it means that I haven’t done my duties well enough. But if you really do cry, I hope that I’m the only one who will see it. Because you don’t have to hide any of your feelings in front of me.”
Lin Che’s heart twitched when she heard this.
She pursed her lips and gazed at him. Pouting, she wound her arms tighter around his neck.
He broke into a smile. With her in his arms, he drew her towards him directly and carried her into the room.
The maids had long been used to such intimacy from them, so they smiled and closed the door for them.
However, Yang Lingxin stood at the door and watched secretly through the gap in the door.
Gu Jingze was really good to his woman…
He was truly a good man.

Lin Che was placed on the bed. She saw that a patch of his chest was completely wet from her tears. Embarra.s.sed, she moved towards him and pulled at his clothes.
Gu Jingze said, “It’s fine.”
Lin Che said, “It’s so dirty. My tears and snot are all over it. Quick, change.”
Gu Jingze smiled and really started to unb.u.t.ton his s.h.i.+rt. But then, he said while looking at her, “Just tell me directly if you want me to take off my clothes.”
“…”
As he spoke, he had already unb.u.t.toned many of his b.u.t.tons.
The firm chest underneath made her instinctively want to swallow her saliva.
This demon. Didn’t he know that the way he looked after removing his clothes was really… too tempting?
He was like a delicious dish served in front of her telling her, Eat me quickly, eat me quickly.
She was about to lose control and throw herself at him.
Gu Jingze really took off his s.h.i.+rt and put his arms around Lin Che before saying, “Lie down and rest for a while.”
Lin Che leaned into his embrace.
Gu Jingze asked, “Were you scared?”
Lin Che shook her head. “At the time, I wasn’t scared. But after that, I was a little scared.”
Gu Jingze kissed her hair.
Lin Che’s face was snuggled into his warm chest as she inhaled the scent of his body. “I was just thinking about whether you would hate me if something really happened to me.”
Gu Jingze’s body tensed up completely.
“You’re not allowed to talk nonsense.” He continued, “Nothing will happen to you.”
“But what if something does happen? To be honest, I only managed to stall for time then by telling that man a lot of nonsense. If I hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t have been able to protect myself until you came.”
“Why would I toss you aside because of that? But in any case, I won’t allow you to get hurt at all. I won’t. Nothing will happen to you.”
Gu Jingze really could not imagine what would happen if she got hurt…
Would he go mad with wanting to kill those people and not spare a single one?
Merely thinking about it was enough to make him go mad, much less if it really happened.
Gu Jingze was momentarily alarmed. He looked down and captured Lin Che’s lips with his.
Lin Che only felt that he seemed cautious when he pressed his body onto hers. He gently sought out the sensitive parts of her body and quietly brushed his body against hers.
Instantly, her body started to heat up. She hugged his st.u.r.dy body and raised her head to meet his kiss.
After the bout of gentleness, his movements began to become much more vigorous as his body temperature increased.
The increased intensity of his kiss made her breathing more labored.
He was holding her as if he could only give his heart relief by doing this. Only by hugging her tightly did he really have her to himself.
Lin Che merely found it strange. They had clearly been seeking consolation from each other earlier. Why had they both ended up losing control and falling directly onto the bed in paralyzing fatigue…
No, in truth, she was the only one who was completely fatigued.
It seemed that she had done nothing and that he had been the one to do all he could to look for her. But why did she still feel so tired as if she was about to be emptied of all her energy?
She leaned against Gu Jingze and inhaled his faint scent. She felt so tired that she did not want to move an inch.
But just then, she heard a noise outside.
Someone had cried out in fear.
Lin Che sat up immediately.
“It’s Little Xin. I’ll go and take a look.”
Gu Jingze pulled her back to him. Frowning, he said, “Don’t move.”
“What are you doing? I want to go and take a look.”
“Wear your clothes properly,” he said quietly.
Only then did Lin Che remember that her clothes were still disheveled.
Lin Che was immensely anxious while Gu Jingze calmly adjusted her clothes for her. “I wonder if Little Xin had a nightmare or something.”
“Alright. Stop worrying. I’ve already instructed people to handle it. I’ll definitely give her adequate compensation.”
But Lin Che said, “Ultimately, this incident arose because of me… and no compensation can ever be enough for certain things.”
“Silly girl. I’ve already said that it wasn’t because of you.” Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che’s hands to him. “You aren’t the mastermind behind the kidnapping. You’re a victim just like her. Why is it your fault? Don’t be too hard on yourself. This incident isn’t your fault.”
“But…”
“If you have to keep putting the blame on yourself, why don’t you think about putting it on me? If you get to the bottom of it, this actually happened because of me. Lu Chuxia only kidnapped you because of me.”
It was true. Lu Chuxia had coveted Gu Jingze from the beginning. That was why she bore a grudge against Lin Che.
But how could she blame this incident on Gu Jingze? He was too charming and many women liked him, but it was not his fault.
Lin Che said, “No, I don’t blame you. Gu Jingze, this incident has nothing to do with you.”
“So it’s pointless to put the blame on anyone. It’s enough to just give her adequate compensation.
She nodded. “I’ll go out to take a look first.”
