Hearing this, Gu Jingze looked at Chen Yucheng with a chilly gaze. Chen Yucheng tilted his head to look at him and immediately registered his warning. As a result, he smiled meaningfully and shut his mouth.
However, that smile had already triggered countless wild thoughts in everyone.
Shen Youran nearly sprang up from her seat. “Oh no. It seems like something really happened. Pft, pft. Your life is so sweet. Even I want to get married!”
Yu Minmin went over to her and said, “Don’t think like that. There’s only one Mr. Gu on earth. Don’t think that all marriages are this good just because this one is. The two of them really don’t seem like a couple that has been married for a long time.”
Of course, Shen Youran was merely being a little envious. However, beside her, Chen Yucheng looked at her in deep thought.
It was Abby’s first time attending a gathering like this. For a moment, she felt that their relations.h.i.+ps with one another were quite good.
She was very glad that she could be a part of it.
On the other hand, Xue Yang kept watching from the sidelines. He could not join in the conversation and did not want to either. But for the first time, he felt that these people who had seemed like very cold figures were actually so easygoing in real life.
He was also surprised that Gu Jingze was unexpectedly so doting towards Lin Che in private.
Any man who knew to pamper his woman was definitely not that bad of a person. Thus, his impression of Gu Jingze improved immensely.
The meal ended with Gu Jingze asking Lin Che to leave with him. He saw that it was quite late and asked Lin Che to go home with him, so everyone went their separate ways.
In the end, they did not even know who had paid for the meal. Nevertheless, everyone was very happy and they were not really concerned about who had paid.
They left together one by one.
Abby led Xue Yang out. As she had not converted her driving license to a C Nation license just because she did not want to do the exam, she could not drive here at the moment. Thus, she asked Xue Yang to drive her home in her car since he had gotten his driving license recently.
In the car, Abby looked at Xue Yang and asked, “I didn’t expect so many people to attend the gathering today. Did you feel uncomfortable?
Xue Yang glanced at her. “No.”
He turned his head, smiled, and said, “Although I didn’t think that I would be eating at the same table as Gu Jingze, it was nothing once I figured it out. I think that someone would only feel tired if they genuinely and desperately hoped for acknowledgment from other people. You probably wouldn’t care so much if you stopped being concerned about whether the other party would like or hate you. I was just thinking earlier that although Gu Jingze is very powerful, I’m not trying to get something out of him. So in theory, it doesn’t matter who he is. When I thought in that way, I stopped feeling uncomfortable.”
Hearing this, Abby felt that he made a lot of sense. She looked up at Xue Yang. “Not bad. I didn’t expect you to have such deep thoughts.”
“Of course.” He smiled brightly.

Gu Jingze and Lin Che did not take the car home.
He held her hand and they slowly strolled home together.
It was a narrow road with few people on either side. The light from the streetlamps shone onto the branches before falling heavily onto the ground. It was truly very pleasant.
“Are Abby and that young man together?”
Lin Che said, “I didn’t ask about that. But it wouldn’t matter even if they were dating anyway.”
Gu Jingze said, “Perhaps… but they’re too different from each other. Even if Abigail is in C Nation right now, she may not remain here in the future.”
“Well… they’re still young. They should be having fun dating right now and not concerning themselves with so many practical problems.”
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che helplessly. But right now, he actually thought that what she had said made sense.
Gu Jingze took her hand into his and quietly smiled while looking at her.
Lin Che could not help but look up. Confused, she wondered what he was laughing about. However, since he looked so handsome smiling… she stopped caring about why he was smiling.
But he held her chin and softly planted a kiss on her lips. She closed her eyes. There was a hint of bashfulness to her red cheeks.
He smiled and asked, “Have you chosen our wedding location?”
“I think… a closer location is better. We shouldn’t go too far. It’s tiring to travel such a long distance too.” Lin Che truly did not want her wedding to be so grand and expensive. She would feel embarra.s.sed if they did all this just for a wedding.
Gu Jingze stared into her eyes as if he had already read her mind. He raised his eyebrows slowly and said, “Lin Che, this is my wedding. I’ve said before that I must have a wedding that will leave me no future regrets.”
“But… spending so much money… isn’t worth it to me. Why don’t we do something else…”
Gu Jingze clasped her hands tightly. “Of course, it’s worth it. You only get one wedding. You won’t get another one in the future. I hope that you will have no regrets when you remember it…”
Gu Jingze merely felt very glad to spend money on her and hoped he could give her the best.
It was a very pure emotion. He did not want to boast, nor did he want it to be grand. He simply wanted to give her the best.
Seeing the resolute expression on Gu Jingze’s face, Lin Che could only say, “Then… the Great Barrier Reef.”
“Alright. I’ll make preparations,” he said.

The next day, Yu Minmin returned to the company and formally began work again.
The press conference for the premiere of Witch’s Diary was to be held in the a.s.sembly hall of B City. Lin Che was going to attend the press conference. Naturally, because of the incidents surrounding her recently, she became the celebrity whom the reporters targeted most at the press conference.
Hearing that Lin Che had arrived, numerous reporters rushed towards her and hastily surrounded her the moment they saw her. They hoped to get footage of her as she had not appeared in public for a long time and was a hot topic for discussion on the Internet. Lin Che looked completely calm and not at all like she had been affected by these rumors.
“h.e.l.lo everyone,” she greeted the reporters.
One reporter immediately asked, “Lin Che, have you been resting these days? When are you going to Hollywood?”
Lin Che smiled and replied, “I’ll head over there very soon after I’m done with promotional activities here. I’ve only been out of the public eye for a few days. I only took a short break from filming, but have you guys missed me that much?”
Everyone looked at her amusingly. Someone asked, “Do you have any response to the recent rumors?”
Lin Che replied, “There are so many rumors on the Internet. I read all of them whether they were good or bad. I get angry when I read the bad ones too but I don’t know how to deal with them, so I handed the task to my company. The company will just respond to those that it can respond to. We divide our tasks quite clearly; the company is responsible for all miscellaneous matters and I’m responsible for simply playing my role well. After all, my fans got to know about me and like me because of these roles, so I should play my roles well for everyone. That’s the only way to truly give back to everyone, right?”
The reporters felt that Lin Che had really matured. She even had the demeanor of a veteran when she answered questions. She answered elegantly and leisurely. Furthermore, she seemed to be growing into her looks and was much more beautiful. Her beauty was not the refined beauty that came after plastic surgery but her cheeks were more full and her skin looked like it was glowing too. She looked very natural and beautiful.
