The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

She stood there frozen. She looked on as Mu Wanqing and Lin Che reunited after a long time. The scene was heartwarming and heart wrenching at the same time. Mu Wanqing had actually even cried.

Yun Luo twitched. She thought of how her father had even thought that there would be a huge uproar in the Gu family when they found out that Lin Che had returned and how he had wanted to borrow Mu Wanqing’s hands to punish Lin Che. But he had not expected…

She thought that her relationship with Mu Wanqing was already great and that Mu Wanqing favored her but she did not expect Mu Wanqing to be even closer to Lin Che as she seemed to be now.

The great mistress of the Gu family had actually shed tears for Lin Che. This was so unthinkable.

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. He walked towards her and held her by the shoulders. Then, he wrapped his arm around her waist and said gently to her, “It’s Mother’s first time meeting her grandson. Don’t be shocked later on.”

“Alright… I’ll just give myself an immunity shot in advance,” Lin Che said and shrugged.

She glanced askance at Yun Luo behind her and smiled faintly. She did not forget to turn around to look at Yun Luo before saying in a light tone, “Miss Yun. Excuse us. Mother and I have not met for a very long time, so we were a bit emotional. We’re usually not like this.”

Of course, Yun Luo could detect the light sarcasm in Lin Che’s words.

She smiled awkwardly but her eyes were already fixed on Gu Jingze’s hands.

If she remembered correctly, Gu Jingze had really never allowed her to touch any part of his body. He always seemed to keep a good distance from her and she did not dare to approach him. However, he was standing so close to Lin Che right now. He was touching her shoulders and had his arms wrapped around her…

Yun Luo suddenly lost all of her confidence. She felt that what everyone had said before about Gu Jingze treating her very well was actually not true.

It was only because Gu Jingze treated everyone else too shoddily. As a result, everyone found it amazing when he treated her even slightly better.

However, now that she saw that Gu Jingze could actually treat a woman so gently, she really felt as if her heart was blocked up. It felt terrible.

Gu Jingze turned his head and glanced coldly at Yun Luo. “Yun Luo, I have some matters to settle. Do as you please.”

“Oh. Okay. It’s fine. You don’t have to bother about me…”

Yun Luo had no choice but to say this nonchalantly. She glanced at Qin Hao who walked past her with his head high and his chest out. Now that Lin Che had returned, it seemed that his attitude towards her had changed abruptly. It was as if he could not be bothered with her at all. Even the little respect he had shown her previously had now vanished.

When Mu Wanqing entered the room and saw Gu Shinian, she truly felt that he was impossibly adorable.

“Niannian, I’m your grandmother.” She walked over to him and looked at him carefully. She wanted to touch him but was afraid of scaring the child as well.

Gu Shinian looked at Mu Wanqing. “Hello, Grandmother.”

“Yes. Good, good. Come over and let me look at you.” She smiled and called Niannian over. She genuinely did not dare to be too enthusiastic and could only suppress her love for him.

When Gu Shinian came to her, Mu Wanqing crouched down and looked at him. She really felt that he was too beautiful.

She hugged Gu Shinian, smiled, and said, “Niannian is so obedient. You look so much like your mother. Truly. You’re so beautiful.”

Gu Jingze said, “Mother. Take a good look. He obviously looks like me.”

Mu Wanqing turned to look at Gu Jingze. “He doesn’t wear that dirty look you wear all the time. I think he’s much better-looking. Come, Niannian. I didn’t prepare a present for you either. I’ll prepare presents for you when you come to our house in a few days.”

While looking at them, Lin Che thought of the numerous presents that Mu Wanqing had bought for her back then. Immediately, she felt that the presents… would surprise them again.

However, Gu Jingze held her back and stopped her. He smiled at her and shook his head. Lin Che understood that he was telling her not to interfere; Mu Wanqing could give him whatever she wanted to.

Lin Che had no choice but to shake her head in disbelief.

Mu Wanqing said, “I’ll watch over Shinian later. You two can go ahead and have fun. No need to look after him.”

“Mother. I still want to take Shinian to meet some of our shareholders in a while,” Gu Shinian said.

Mu Wanqing frowned and looked at him. But after thinking about it, she thought that this was beneficial for the child as well. Thus, she merely said, “In that case, let me take Niannian around first.”

Knowing that Mu Wanqing wanted to spend some time with the child, Lin Che nodded her head first. Seeing that Lin Che had nodded her head, Gu Jingze could only agree reluctantly. “Alright then, Mother. I’ll give you half an hour.”

Mu Wanqing looked at Gu Jingze. She knew that he had only agreed because Lin Che also agreed. She scoffed and said, “You agree with whatever Lin Che says but you always rebut whatever I say. It’s true that you treat your wife and your mother differently.”

Lin Che had not noticed this issue yet. When she heard Mu Wanqing tease them, her embarrassment immediately showed on her face. She glanced at Gu Jingze. When she saw him turn his head towards her, she hastily evaded his gaze deliberately.

The corners of Gu Jingze’s lips turned upwards. His pretty lashes trembled slightly as he looked at Mu Wanqing and said, “Anyway, I’ll come to pick him up in half an hour.”

Thereafter, he pulled Lin Che by the hand. “Let’s go.”

Lin Che could only leave with Gu Shinian. After she saw the door close behind her, she looked at Gu Jingze and said, “Mother even wants to give Shinian some presents. Shinian is still young and he doesn’t need anything at all either. It doesn’t matter how many things she gives him. But you actually agreed to it.”

Gu Jingze said, “Shinian won’t have any use for it now but you’ll be in charge of everything on his behalf. It’s fine. Mother has a lot of money stashed away. She can give us whatever she wants to.”

“…”

If the same words were used for an ordinary family, he would have definitely been accused of being a terrible unfilial son who was coveting his mother’s money.

However, the Gu family had so much material wealth. As they were so wealthy, his words sounded like a compliment and a joke instead. No one felt that he was being unfilial.

After all, his words were right. Mu Wanqing was indeed very wealthy. A small present from her out of her vast assets was a hair off of a bull’s back.

While chatting, Gu Jingze led her to a seat in the cafeteria.

The cafeteria of Gu Industries was incomparable to the cafeterias of other companies. The interior of the cafeteria was luxurious and the design was an American style. It was slightly luxurious, with golden strokes and real wooden panels. It was very tasteful.

It was just like an extravagant ballroom of a hotel. Entering it felt like entering a ball.

The shareholders were still chatting amongst themselves when they saw the huge doors open and Gu Jingze walk in. They immediately stopped chattering and started to surround Gu Jingze.

However, just then, everyone was shocked to see a woman walking beside Gu Jingze.

It was Lin Che.

Everyone immediately reacted. One of them was so quick to react that he had already raised his glass to say, “What a rare occurrence for President Gu to bring Madam Gu along.”

Seeing this, everyone followed suit one after another as well. “President Gu and Madam Gu are truly a match made in heaven. How worthy of envy.”

Gu Jingze stretched his arm out and hooked it through Lin Che’s, smiling faintly.

He tilted his head to look at her. Everyone could tell that Gu Jingze’s typically cold gaze only gave off a gentle glint when he was looking at Lin Che. Although his gaze was still as chilly as moonlight, his eyes were much more gentle than they usually were.

This was a gaze that only Lin Che enjoyed.
