Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lin Che arrived at the Glazed Tile Palace with Gu Jingze.
Yu Minmin had only just found that Gu Jingming was inviting Gu Jingze over for a meal, so she hastily ushered the two of them in.
“Minmin.” Lin Che smiled and walked towards her.
Yu Minmin said, “You left the company so abruptly today. I thought something had happened.”
“You’re right. There was a slight issue, but it wasn’t that serious. Come on. Let’s go in and talk about it.”
Gu Jingze glanced at Lin Che as well and nodded at her.
Gu Jingming could tell that something was up with Gu Jingze, so he brought him to the study room in the front.
Later on, Gu Jingze called Chen Yucheng and asked him to come over. Gu Jingze only told them about the incident after the three of them had gathered in the study room.
Chen Yucheng said, “That’s impossible. The sperm is perfectly stored and I’ve never told anyone about it too. There are no signs of anyone breaking in either.”
Gu Jingming said, “Then, on Miss Mo’s end…”
Gu Jingze shook his head. “I don’t know why she said that either.”
Chen Yucheng said, “You were the one who told her about it back then. Even though we had agreed not to tell anyone…”
He glanced at Gu Jingze and spoke sarcastically.
Gu Jingze merely sat there and glared at Chen Yucheng.
He himself did not understand why he had liked Mo Huiling back then. Only now did he realize how foolish he had been then.
How could he put so much trust into a woman like her?
Right now, he no longer had any lingering emotions for Mo Huiling.
Chen Yucheng said, “This matter is easy to settle. Just get her to abort it.”
Gu Jingze asked, “What if she refuses to?”
Gu Jingming said, “You can’t drag away the daughter of the Mo family and then get her to abort her child. The situation would get even worse if everyone finds out about it.”
“Hey, even then, it’s easy to settle. Get her to give birth to the child. Who cares whose child it is, since it can’t be yours anyway? Although we can’t be sure.” Smiling, Chen Yucheng continued, “Maybe you accidentally had an affair outside… Ahem.” Before he had finished speaking, Gu Jingze cast an oblique glance at him.
He quickly pretended that he had said nothing and touched his nose. “It wasn’t easy for me to come to the Glazed Tile Palace today. Aren’t you going to invite me to dinner?”
“Let’s go and have dinner.”
The three of them walked out after ending their discussion.
Lin Che had also told Yu Minmin about the incident. Yu Minmin could only sigh and pat her shoulder. “Having such a good husband isn’t good. If your husband was very ordinary, you wouldn’t have to worry about other women eyeing him, right? It’s all because your husband is too capable. I wouldn’t be able to let him go either. But since you two are united in heart and soul, you don’t have to worry about the two of you being torn apart either. Don’t worry. Gu Jingze pampers you so much. He won’t allow anyone to hurt you.”
Lin Che said, “I’m not worried about this. It’s just that… you’re right. The blame is all Gu Jingze’s. It’s because of his past romantic history, hmph.”
Just then, seeing that the three of them had walked out of the room, Lin Che and Yu Minmin stood up as well.
Gu Jingze came directly to Lin Che’s side. He looked at her and took her hand into his. They looked at each other before moving to sit down at the side.
Gu Jingze lowered his head and said, “I’ve confirmed that my sperm is still safely stored.”
Lin Che let out a sound of affirmation. She knew that he had asked Chen Yucheng to come over to confirm that there was nothing wrong. If so, then there was no longer anything to worry about.
Chen Yucheng looked at them. While they were eating together, Lin Che asked, “Hey, why didn’t you bring Youran with you today?”
Chen Yucheng asked, “Why would I bring her along?”
“Aren’t you guys… inseparable? You’re her master and she’s your disciple. Of course, you must be together all the time.”
“There’s no reason to bring her along on such official business. “Furthermore…” Chen Yucheng ate while saying, “She’s not willing to stick to me all the time either.”
He sounded so bitter as he said this.
Lin Che asked, “Why? Is she ignoring you?”
Chen Yucheng responded, “Why don’t you go and ask your good friend?”
Confused, Lin Che wondered what had happened between them.
After dinner, she quickly sent her a message on WeChat to ask about it.
“Youran, what happened? Did something happen between you and Doctor Chen?”
Shen Youran only replied to her text after some time. “Nothing happened.”
“Tell me honestly. Otherwise, I’ll go over and force it out of you.”
“So…” Shen Youran seemed to be deliberating about how to say it. Then, she said, “Because the gap between us is a little big, people will always spread rumors about us. I don’t want to become a burden to him, nor do I want to be with him and implicate him. He deserves better.”
Hearing this, Lin Che said in disbelief, “If what you say is true, then I should’ve divorced Gu Jingze a long time ago.”
“Don’t say that. You’ve worked so hard and finally achieved what you have today. However, I’m just his student. Even if I succeed, no one would think that it was through my own effort. They would still think that I succeeded because of him. Furthermore, our family backgrounds are too different. My family would really be a burden to him. Also… his family won’t approve of us.”
After reading her message, Lin Che asked in confusion. “So, he already confessed to you, but you refused him?”
“Yes… I merely said that I would consider it, but I still feel that we’re not a match.”
Lin Che was really at a loss for words.
But she really could not interfere too much in their affairs.
After all, it was their relations.h.i.+p problem. She had been through this and knew that no one else’s words mattered to those involved.
If she had actually listened to the words of others, she would not have been in love with Qin Qing for so many years.
Just then, Gu Jingze suddenly appeared behind her.
“What are you looking at?”
Frightened, Lin Che turned around and asked gloomily, “You- you- you, what are you doing? Why did you appear out of nowhere?”
Gu Jingze said, “I was just looking at what you were doing.”
“I’m on WeChat.”
“Why do you guys like WeChat so much?” Gu Jingze asked with a confused tone.
Lin Che said, “An old antique like you wouldn’t understand that feeling.”
“Indeed, I don’t understand.” Gu Jingze had never used any social media applications. He used his phone only for reading the news and nothing else.
Lin Che said, “People are gossipy by nature. Just by looking at my WeChat Moments page, I can look at what everyone has been up to recently and collect more gossip. I can also boast about my own life.”
Lin Che showed Gu Jingze her Moments page. She reported only the good news and not the bad. All of her posts contained pictures of pleasant things such as the places she had been to, the things she had seen, the awards she had gotten, and her first day of filming. There was no mention at all of the unpleasant comments and criticism she had received.
Gu Jingze asked in disbelief, “Is this interesting at all?”
“Of course it is. Hehe, you wouldn’t understand the joy of being pretentious in this lifetime. Should I help you download an application? You’ll understand if you try it out.”
Gu Jingze scowled.
Ignoring him, Lin Che took his phone from him immediately. “Come. I’ll help you download some applications.”
“I won’t use them though.”
“Just give it a try. Maybe you’ll discover your love for it!”
