The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

He smiled. Although a huge load was lifted off his shoulders earlier, he more or less still felt a little sad after hearing what Mo Huiling said.

However, he could not explain why he was sad.

Perhaps he more or less felt a little sad only because everything had come to an end.

Maybe it was just because he did not know when he had become this kind of a man.

Initially, he had thought that he had to be with her. However, he ultimately did not persevere. He had always thought that he was a principled person. If he decided on something, he didn’t simply change his decision or hurt anyone. But in the end, he still hurt Huiling and Lin Che as well.

He felt as if he had become the kind of man he looked upon with disdain.

He drew in a deep breath and reached his hands out to push Lin Che’s wheelchair.

Lin Che said, “Are we still going to eat? To be honest, I don’t have anything I want to eat either. Why don’t we… ”

“It’s alright. We already agreed to go and eat something. They opened up a new store over there. Let’s go and try the food out.”

“Oh, alright.” She could only nod her head when she heard Gu Jingze say this.

Gu Jingze pushed Lin Che out through the corridor and to the secretarial department outside. Upon seeing this scene, the people at the side all turned their eyes to them one by one. Gu Jingze walked ahead with a few bodyguards constantly following behind him. In a formidable array, the line of people walked out. Lin Che was pushed in front and her aura was out of place with the people behind her. Her unbefitting appearance was extremely eye-catching.

It only took a short while for the company’s internal forum to simply explode.

Everyone knew that Gu Jingze had a girlfriend Mo Huiling, a person whose family was of equal status as his.

However, the person whom Gu Jingze had pushed on a wheelchair today had obviously not been her.

“Why did President Gu get a new girlfriend?”

“I think President Gu treats his girlfriend really well. He’s so attentive and even pushed her along. But how could his girlfriend even be a cripple?”

“Oh my God, President Gu changed his girlfriend so inconspicuously. Why didn’t he make it known earlier? If he did, then I could have just went and wooed him.”

“The person above, stop dreaming. There are countless people in the company waiting in line. You won’t be able to get to the front.”

“President Gu is really too beautiful. I don’t know how the people in the president’s office on the top floor can do their work properly when they have to see him every day there.”

“In response to the post above, it’s because the people who don’t do their work properly and keep looking at President Gu have already been directly tossed out by the bodyguards by President Gu’s side. When they fell, they fractured their femurs and were even fired. After that, all of us began to work properly without looking at President Gu.”

“That’s a matter of course. The bodyguards beside President Gu are clearly formidable. Whoever goes close to him of their own accord are absolutely looking for death. After all, look at President Gu’s status. Can ordinary people get close to him?”

As Gu Jingze pushed Lin Che along, Lin Che saw everyone’s gazes flashing rapidly towards them. Slightly embarrassed, she lowered her head.

Fortunately, Gu Jingze’s private elevator arrived at the floor in no time to take them down. Gu Jingze gave all of them a meaningful look to prevent them from following so closely for the time being.

After getting into the car, Gu Jingze did not say anything for the entire duration of the ride either.

In the past, Lin Che would chatter away without stopping. However, this time, she also did not seem to have anything to say and merely looked straight ahead.

She could sense that the entire atmosphere surrounding Gu Jingze had been slightly gloomy since he returned earlier. Even though he did not express it, it still affected her deeply.

At the restaurant, Gu Jingze and Lin Che entered through a special passageway and were escorted by the owner to the restaurant’s best private room.

The private room was so exquisite that it would have made one speechless. After sitting down, Lin Che looked in Gu Jingze’s direction. Gu Jingze smiled at her. “Are you cold? If you’re cold, I’ll get someone to turn on the heater.”

“Gu Jingze.” Lin Che stopped him upon seeing that he was about to get up. “There’s no need to go through all that trouble. I’m not cold. Are you feeling unhappy? If you’re feeling unhappy, it’s better for us to go back. Let’s not eat anymore.”

“No. We should still eat what we have to,” Gu Jingze said.

“That’s enough. I’ll even get indigestion easily from looking at this sour face of yours. Let’s just not eat.” Lin Che pushed her own wheelchair and stopped it at the side as she looked at him.

Gu Jingze froze. He lifted his hand to stroke his chin.

Of course, he did not know whether or not his face was sour. However, when he raised his head to look at Lin Che’s helpless face, he still drew in a deep breath ultimately before saying seriously, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to affect you.”

Lin Che pulled her lips taut. “It’s alright. Did you not have a good talk with Miss Mo?”

Gu Jingze merely shook his head. “No, it went very well.”

“Then, why are you… ”

“It’s just that I’m the sole reason that caused Huiling and me to end like this today. I know it, but there’s nothing I can do. Maybe you’ll think that I’m indecisive, but I still continue to blame myself. The Huiling whom you see now is like this but in reality, the Huiling whom I saw in the past was not like this, so… ”

The corners of Lin Che’s lips twitched again before she smiled candidly. “Of course I knew that she would definitely behave differently in front of me as opposed to in front of her own lover.”

“No. I shouldn’t be discussing her with you.” Gu Jingze shook his head to make himself change his sour expression. “You don’t have an obligation to assume responsibility for any of my matters nor do you have an obligation to listen to me vent my frustrations.”

“How can that be?” Lin Che said, “Even friends can listen to each other vent their frustrations. Furthermore, the reason that you can’t be together… is also because of me… ”

“No. It has nothing to do with you. I know that it’s my own problem,” he said.

Lin Che wanted to say something but as she looked at his gloomy face, she felt instead that she could not speak a word.

If she had not appeared, everything would not be in this disastrous state.

He and Mo Huiling would likely have married a long time ago.

They probably would have even had a child on the way.

At the roots, it still had something to do with her.

However, it was also a matter between the two of them. Ultimately, she had no right to interfere.

Thus, in the final analysis, she was actually still an outsider. She had put her foot in between the two of them, but could not enter their world.

Lin Che laughed dryly. Gu Jingze raised his head and said to Lin Che, “I’m sorry. I’m the one who isn’t feeling good but I made you lose your appetite too.”

“Relax. It’s alright. You have so many shortcomings, but I still tolerate all of them. I’ll just take a small thing like this as your ‘manstruation’ coming.”

“‘Manstruation’?” Gu Jingze furrowed his brow.

Lin Che laughed out loud, thinking that he definitely did not understand. She put her hand over her mouth and explained, “When girls get their periods, we call it menstruation, so for a man, it’s called… ”

So for a man, it was called ‘manstruation’?

Gu Jingze’s face began to darken immediately.

When Lin Che started laughing, she would rock forwards and backward in complete disregard for her image. Even her foot had been placed on the wheelchair. She hugged her knee as she looked at Gu Jingze.

Gu Jingze shot a glance at her leg. It was only when she noticed it that she remembered that she was involuntarily behaving like a tomboy again. She apologized to him but began to think about it. In any case, he would not care even if she did not behave like a tomboy. Thus, she simply paid even less attention to her image and continued to leave her leg up. She looked at Gu Jingze and said, “Then, are we still eating or not?”

Gu Jingze sighed. Knowing that he himself was the one who had affected her, he could only proceed to say, “Sorry.”

Lin Che said casually, “If you really feel apologetic towards me… ”
