The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

Fortunately, the filming that day went smoothly and it seemed like they did not have to stay another day.

When the filming ended, they boarded the plane back. Qin Wanwan happily pulled Lin Che along and asked her to celebrate together with the rest of them over a meal if she had nothing to do that night.

Together with the director and his crew, the group of seven or eight people headed to a club to eat and sing.

It was Lin Che’s first time here with them. Qin Wanwan was very social and could talk to anybody. She did not put on airs at all. Lin Che sat at the side and was watching when Qin Wanwan came over to her, “It’s your first time here. There are a lot of people here from the industry too.”

Lin Che replied, “I’m just a newcomer so I don’t know many people in the industry.”

Qin Wanwan said, “You will eventually. It’s never bad to know more people in this industry.”

“Yes,” Lin Che did not warm up to people quickly. She was not used to taking the initiative to interact with others but once she got familiar, she was actually a very talkative person too.

Qin Wanwan said, “Alright. I’ll be your big sister and take you along. Come, let’s go get something to eat.”

Lin Che smiled and looked at Qin Wanwan. She admired her ability to get comfortable with others quickly.

Qin Wanwan said, “But your relationship with Gu Jingyu is not bad.”

Lin Che said quietly, “It’s not exactly good either. I haven’t contacted him in ages.”

“Really? He’s my idol, heh heh. But I may soon be able to act with him in a show.”

“Really? That’s not bad. He’s really good at acting,” Lin Che remarked.

Qin Wanwan smiled cheekily and looked at Lin Che, “Then, the rumor between you two…”

“It’s definitely fake!” Lin Che hurriedly said. “As you just said, it’s only a rumor.”

“Fine, fine.”

As they talked, Lin Che realized her phone was ringing. She took it out to see that it was Gu Jingze.

Qin Wanwan’s eyes were sharp. She immediately saw the obvious ‘Dearest Hubby’ words displayed and smiled, “Oh, we have a situation.”

Lin Che blushed.

Qin Wanwan saw and laughed as she patted her shoulder, “Okay, so what if you have a boyfriend? You’re old enough and nobody is gonna stop you. I won’t tell anyone, relax.”

Lin Che said, “It’s not what you think either… Anyway, I need to take this call.”

Lin Che quickly picked up the phone. When it got through, she heard Gu Jingze asking, “When are you coming back?”

Lin Che’s lips curled up uncontrollably, “I’ll be back soon.”

“Okay, I’ll go pick you up.”

Gu Jingze was actually a very tolerant person. He thought it was a good thing for Lin Che to have some fun outside. A person needed to interact outside and have their personal space sometimes. That was a healthy thing to do.

Thus, when Lin Che saw Gu Jingze, she quickly got into the car and said, “I was just here to take a look; there’s nothing much. Everyone here is from the crew and some of the cast.”

Gu Jingze said, “It’s not good for you to stay at home all the time. You should make more friends. Otherwise, a dumb person like you won’t have many friends to rely on. It’ll be hard to get by.”

“Hey, do you have to call me dumb all the time?”

“Good girl, this is your special feature. I don’t want to bring it up every day either but I get reminded of it every time I see you. What else can I do?” As he spoke, he reached out and patted her head.

Lin Che wanted to move away. She really did know what he was trying to do. She was not a kid anymore. Why did he pat her head?

He returned home with Lin Che who quickly removed her makeup, showered, looked at things, and chatted with the maids.

Gu Jingze sat on the sofa, not thinking that it was the least bit noisy.

Instead, he looked at the whole room. Although there was just one more person, it was as if the empty room was suddenly filled.

This Lin Che was really lively.

After that, Lin Che’s reality show hadn’t aired yet but the sneak preview was soon ready.

In the preview, they included the part where they walked into Lin Che’s room. Lin Che was already feeling embarrassed at that point in time but seeing it on screen now, she thought she was so ugly.

However, she spent the day going through the comments online and found that her fanbase grew.

The fans were commenting, “I still like Lin Che. She’s so real and genuine.”

“Exactly. That Wang Qingchu is too fake. I can tell immediately that she’s acting. She’s so slutty like a mistress.”

“I don’t think this scene looks bad at all; Lin Che looked quite good. She’s completely barefaced but her skin is still so good. Her eyes are still so big and she’s still so fair.”

“Lin Che is so cute.”

Lin Che was stunned. She was in disbelief that that scene would receive only good comments.

In the afternoon, she watched the preview with Yu Minmin at the company. Yu Minmin said, “This is only the beginning. Wait until the show is out and then you’ll know the results.”

Yu Minmin looked at Lin Che, “And you have good complexion in the first place. You’re pretty even without makeup. Be more confident. See? You can crush Wang Qingchu even with your bare face.”

“No way, Sister Yu, you are exaggerating.”

Yu Minmin said, “Oh right. That Qin Wanwan’s agent contacted us. They asked if we wanted to do a joint promotion this time.”

“Joint promotion?” Lin Che did not quite understand.

Yu Minmin explained, “It’s like bundle sales. Do some more activities with her. Fans love to see two people working together and such, so it might look better if you do the promotion with her. If you are willing, we’ll explore this path together. It’s nothing much. It will probably just be the two of you doing interviews together and some programs. Qin Wanwan usually has good reviews and you’re short in the socializing aspect, so she can help you with that.”

Lin Che listened and nodded, “Okay, I don’t know about all these. I’ll listen to Sister Yu.”

Yu Minmin smiled. It was decided then.

After that, Lin Che then understood what ‘making use of luck’ meant.

Although Lin Che was slow-witted in the show, the Internet was already buzzing, saying how Lin Che’s adorably slow-witted appearance was stunning. In the scenes, everybody was in the front playing games while she floated around at the back. She even spaced out numerous times and when everyone teased her, it would take a while for her to realize and snap back into reality. It made the fans laugh so much.

Everybody gave Lin Che a nickname; she was called the ‘short attention girl’.

Lin Che unwittingly became a hot topic online for a while.

Lin Che said to Yu Minmin in surprise, “I didn’t know this was possible. I thought my performance was so bad and I was done for.”

Yu Minmin said, “Your performance is not that bad and you are too ditzy. But this is the real you; there’s nothing we can do about it.”

The assistant at the side laughed and said, “Lin Che, Sister Yu is a professional. You must trust her words. She’s very capable and skillful. She couldn’t be bothered to compete with others. Otherwise, she would have been a top-notch agent. Even so, Sister Yu is still a famous agent in this industry. Everyone knows what Sister Yu is capable of. You are lucky to be able to follow Sister Yu.”
