Chapter 65: I Won’t Trouble You
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At night, Lin Che slept very unsoundly.
She laid there as if she saw Gu Jingze look at her with a tender, gentle expression that he usually never wore. His eyes were swirling; they resembled a rippling stream.
His sensual, thin lips curled slightly at a perfect angle.
He scooped up Lin Che’s shoulders and pulled her into his embrace as if he was looking at the love of his life.
His voice was so sensual and perfect as well as he spoke gently to her, “Lin Che, I love you…”
Lin Che was so shocked that her heart was pounding. In the next moment, she saw Gu Jingze’s lips pressing downwards.
Lin Che hastily moved upwards and closer to him.
However, at this moment…
Her phone suddenly started ringing.
Lin Che was rudely awakened. She suddenly sat up and only then did she sense that she was actually dreaming earlier.
F***, why would she have such a dream…
Lin Che quickly smoothed her hair. She heard her phone still ringing for all it was worth before she grabbed it and picked it up.
Yu Minmin was calling.
“What happened to you? Why are you suddenly on the news for being involved with drugs?”
Lin Che had yet to see the news so of course, she did not know what the outside world was saying. She just held her slightly-hurting head and said to her, “I was framed!”
Yu Minmin was immersed in her thoughts for some time before saying, “Forget it. We’ll discuss this again when you come to the company.”
“Alright. But Sister Yu, I couldn’t contact you yesterday? Where did you go?”
Yu Minmin turned silent again. Finally, for the lack of a better way to put it, she could only say, “I was in a car accident yesterday.”
“…” Lin Che said, “How could you be so unlucky? Should we go up the mountain to pray?”
“I think we should too. Anyway, we’ll discuss this again when you come to the company.”
Lin Che quickly got up. Although she still felt a little dizzy, she continued to swiftly wash up and put her clothes on.
The moment she opened the bedroom door, she coincidentally saw Gu Jingze coming in from outside.
Immediately, Gu Jingze saw Lin Che and his brow furrowed deeply.
The events of the previous night came to his mind immediately. He tilted his face slightly and said, “Why did you get out of bed?”
In a hurry, Lin Che said, “I’m going to the company.”
“The company?” Gu Jingze’s face darkened. “Why are you going to the company so early?”
“Something cropped up. I have to go deal with it,” Lin Che said.
“You’re not allowed to go.” Gu Jingze held Lin Che back when she was about to run out.
Lin Che turned her head in suspicion. “Why?”
“There’s no reason for you to go.” He swept his eyes over her face that was still flushed red from her illness. “Just stay at home obediently today.”
Stay at home obediently?
Again, Lin Che recalled what he had said yesterday about why she was always stirring up trouble.
He definitely felt that she would stir up trouble if she went out.
Lin Che said, “No way. I have to go to the company and settle this matter. If I don’t deal with this matter properly, then my career will be over.”
“Your life career could just be about being Mrs. Gu.” Gu Jingze looked at this stubborn woman with a cold expression.
Lin Che said, “Come on. Once we divorce, I’ll be your scorned ex-wife. It’s still better for me to have my own career. I’m going out first.”
“Lin Che! I said that you’re not allowed to go!” Gu Jingze’s tone became more severe and a dim light flashed in his eyes.
Lin Che turned her head back. “I already know. This time I’m not going to stir up trouble. I won’t make trouble for you. I’m going to deal with some matters, so you don’t have to worry about something happening to me again.”
Gu Jingze lowered his eyes. Even after she lowered her head and wore her shoes properly, the wrinkles in his brow were still present.
“I’m leaving,” she looked back and said to him again, slightly fearfully.
“Do whatever you want.” Gu Jingze turned back and hastened into the bedroom.
Lin Che’s lips twitched. She saw that he seemed angry but after some thought, she did not go after him.
She recalled everything that happened last night. Although a portion of her memories was blurry because she was sleepy and groggy, she could still remember how he had explored her lips and how his hands had recklessly touched her body…
Instantly, her lips heated up slightly. She frantically shook her head to shake off that feeling of antic.i.p.ation and walked out in a hurry.
At the company.
Yu Minmin held her forehead and said, “It looks like this incident is likely Senmira’s doing. Your endors.e.m.e.nt deal was canceled and she signed a new contract with that company again.”
Lin Che looked at the news. She only saw now that there was no explicit mention of her. The news only said that there was speculation that there was a celebrity who had recently been involved with drugs who had already been put behind bars. It was a female celebrity whose name started with the letter ‘L’. She had just begun to get famous through a television series. If the incident this time was real, then there was going to be a problem as to whether the television series could even be broadcasted according to the schedule.
The netizens were strikingly intelligent; they immediately figured out that the person mentioned in the news was Lin Che.
Yu Minmin was slightly fatigued as well. She looked extremely agitated. “The company will try to arrange for you to appear at a suitable location so that you can let everyone know that you aren’t being locked up. But you must first confirm that the police station won’t say anything. You didn’t get involved with drugs, right?”
Yu Minmin still looked at Lin Che somewhat doubtfully.
“Of course not,” Lin Che said.
Yu Minmin nodded. Since she said so, Yu Minmin believed her; she too felt that Lin Che was definitely not that kind of person.
“What should we do now?”
“We’ll go over to the endors.e.m.e.nt company to explain the situation first.”
Lin Che and Yu Minmin soon arrived at the endors.e.m.e.nt company.
However, it was a small world where enemies were bound to meet. As they got out, they saw Senmira walking out in sky-high stilettos.
“Aiyo, Lin Che. Why, I heard that you were put in prison. You came out so soon.”
Upon seeing her, Lin Che felt that she could not let her pride take a hit.
“Yes. With a fool like you still out in the world, I felt that I couldn’t just carelessly go to prison.”
“You… Lin Che, you’re still so arrogant, huh. Sure enough, you entered this industry too late still. Rookie, learn properly from your senior. What yours truly has done is called a strategy.”
“Huh, indeed. A person without actual ability just likes to do anything possible,” Lin Che said.
From the side, Yu Minmin smiled and looked at Senmira. “Mira, I’ve been in this industry for a long time too. Let me give you a word of advice. Use your underhanded methods less so you avoid destroying yourself.”
Senmira snorted. “Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this? I did it. Now, what are you going to do about it? Hmph, just take this small and hopeless celebrity of yours with you and live on an empty stomach. You dare come up against me when you haven’t even looked at yourself?”
When she finished speaking, she forcefully brushed past Yu Minmin’s shoulder and walked past them.
Lin Che bit her lip furiously and said to Yu Minmin, “I can’t tolerate seeing her be so arrogant.”
Yu Minmin said, “Sooner or later, she’ll dig herself into a grave.”
The two of them entered the company. The company staff said gloomily, “Don’t come here anymore. We can’t do anything about this. The company will absolutely not use an artist whose reputation has been tainted like this.”
As they said this, they were going to chase them out. They had seen too many artists pester them like this.
“Go out, go out. Hurry up and leave.”
However, right at that moment, someone suddenly came in from outside and softly told the person-in-charge something.
That person’s expression changed instantly. The gaze with which he looked at Lin Che also changed immediately.
He stood up and said, “Miss Lin, I apologize for my earlier conduct. We just received notice that the police have already clarified that this was a false alarm and you were not involved with drugs. We spoke a little impulsively earlier and we’re really sorry.”
The executive rubbed his forehead, cold sweat forming on his back. As he pondered over what his secretary had said by his ear, he still felt that it was inconceivable.
Earlier, his secretary had said, “Qin Hao called personally and said that he was claiming this advertis.e.m.e.nt on behalf of Lin Che.”
Qin Hao had always been a mysterious and elusive person. What kind of status did he have?
He was Gu Jingze’s lackey and someone that they could not even reach. But now, he had called personally to ask for an advertis.e.m.e.nt on Lin Che’s behalf…
