The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

She said, “In a while, accompany me to shop around for a bit. Just buy a few more things for me.”

“Buy things?”

“Yes. Shopping can relieve me of all of my unhappiness!” Lin Che said.

Although Gu Jingze did not quite understand what she had said, he still agreed. “Alright, you can buy whatever you want later.”

When Lin Che heard this, she clapped her hands and said, “Okay. I definitely won’t stand on formalities with you later.”

“Why are you such a money-grubber?”

“I’m not some well-bred young lady anyway. It’s fine for me to be a bit of a money-grubber,” Lin Che said.

Gu Jingze’s face darkened immediately.

Lin Che pursed her lips and thought to herself, Oh no, why did she bring up some well-bred young lady for no reason? He had just been there brooding over Mo Huiling.

She smiled and said, “I meant that it’s because I’m poor.”

Gu Jingze glared at her. She only knew to bewail her poverty all the time.

They only ate a few simple mouthfuls of their meal as both of them did not have much of an appetite.

After leaving, Lin Che shopped around aimlessly in the shopping mall. She did not have anything that she wanted to buy for herself, so she bought some things for Shen Youran and Yu Minmin while she was at it.

It was not long before she could no longer carry all the things she had bought.

It was really very satisfying to go shopping with Gu Jingze. She did not have to care about the prices; the moment he entered, he directly instructed them to wrap up everything. In no time, they had simply wiped out all the places in the entire mall that they were interested in.

Very soon after, they arrived at a gold store that looked very high end.

Gu Jingze stopped in his tracks and looked inside. “Are we not going in to take a look?”

Lin Che took a look and felt that the products inside were probably all very expensive. She pondered for a bit before deciding to forget it. She had already spent too much when she was actually reluctant to do so too. “No, it’s alright. To be honest, I don’t really wear any jewelry.”

“It’s alright. Let’s go in and take a look.” He looked at Lin Che. Although she was very crazy about money, it seemed that she had really never worn anything particularly valuable.

As he said this, he had already pushed Lin Che into the store.

This store looked extremely high end and was different from ordinary jewelry stores.

Upon seeing the two of them enter, the salesperson did not immediately recognize Gu Jingze who had always kept a low profile. He completely did not recognize Lin Che either as she was wearing a mask. However, he saw the imposing manner of the people following behind them and knew as well that this was not a patron whom he could afford to offend. He glanced at the few professional bodyguards. From the time their gold store had opened for business until now, he had likely never met such a formidable character before. Thus, he appeared much more respectful and cautious towards these two people.

Lin Che had never enjoyed such treatment. The moment she stepped in, she was immediately brought to an area at the side for special guests where the salesperson here was a beautiful lady. The store manager who looked like he was very experienced and educated even followed beside her.

“What would the two of you like to look at?”

How could Lin Che know?

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and said, “Bring out whatever good products you have in your inventory. We’ll take a look and let you know again.”

Upon hearing this, the manager turned his head and instructed the salesperson to bring over all the products of the VVIP quality.

The salesperson saw that the manager took this very seriously and also quickly instructed someone to settle the matter.

In a while, a few people walked in. They held trays with emerald pendants and rings all displayed on them. Looking at so many items in such a short span of time, Lin Che’s eyes seemed to go slightly blurry.

“This ring is so beautiful… ”

“This pendant is beautiful too.”

“Hey, is this the traditional jade accessory used to relieve itches? Where are you supposed to put this?”

The salesperson explained each item to Lin Che.

From the side, Gu Jingze said, “Just pick out a few things if you like them.”

Lin Che turned her head. “Can I do that?”

“Of course.”

Lin Che looked at an item which was labeled as green emerald and did not have a single blemish on it. She thought to herself that something like this was very likely to be very expensive.

“Forget it. I really don’t usually wear jewelry.”

“Then, you can start wearing jewelry now.” As he said this, he pulled her hand upwards and glanced at the small ring in the middle of the tray. Although it was small, it was still very exquisite. It was so smooth and round that he was unable to find a single flaw. The crucial thing was that it was extremely pleasing to his eyes. He picked it up and measured it against Lin Che’s finger. As he held her hand, he slowly put the ring on her finger.

The dark green ring looked very nice on her white finger.

From the side, the salesperson could not help but compliment, “Madam’s hand is really too beautiful.”

Gu Jingze had heard many compliments before. However, this was still his first time feeling happy about such a compliment.

It seemed that compliments directed at Lin Che made him feel even happier than compliments directed at him.

He smiled and pulled Lin Che’s hand over to take a look. It was of a firmness that looked really good. Her hand appeared extraordinarily beautiful when he compared it with the hands of other girls who were present and which were also very beautiful. Every joint of her finger seemed extremely smooth, round and was just so adorable.

However, there were still some areas of her palm that were rough. When he spread it open to take a look, he could still see some scars on it.

Gu Jingze recalled that her position in the Lin family was not too good. These scars were probably scars left behind from back then when she had done household chores and helped the housekeeper work around the house.

His mood dimmed slightly. He raised his head and said to the manager, “We’ll take this.”

Naturally, the manager was happy. “Sir has a good eye. This belongs to one of the best varieties we have in our store.”

Gu Jingze smiled and did not listen to the manager’s flattery. “Whether or not it’s good is not important. I like this one. Wrap it up for me.”

The manager immediately went to settle the purchase. The salesperson wanted to wrap it up for her but Gu Jingze said, “It’s alright. Just let her wear it.”

Lin Che lifted up her head and Gu Jingze said, “Didn’t I buy it for her to just wear it?”

Lin Che looked at him and smiled happily. She lowered her head to look at her own finger and began to feel more and more that it looked good. However, it was too expensive and she still felt quite bad about the price.

The salesperson smiled and looked at the two of them from the side. She said, “Sir really treats Madam too well. We’re really envious to death. Madam, you really have such good fortune.”

Lin Che raised her head to look at Gu Jingze.

Yes. She really had such good fortune that she was able to meet Gu Jingze.

Gu Jingze smiled and felt that a compliment like this really began to lift his mood instantly. This was especially so when he heard others say that he treated his wife well.

It was his first time hearing such a compliment but it made him feel like it was really something worth thinking over. A different type of pride spread out slowly in his heart.

After the people in the jewelry store sent them off, Gu Jingze saw that there was a ring added to Lin Che’s hand now, her head was lowered as she looked at it over and over again. Even though she had said that she did not want it, in actual fact her heart was still happy.

He said, “Alright. Stop looking at it. Flowers won’t sprout out of your hand even if you look at it again.”

“It’s so expensive. It costs the same as a house. I feel like I’m literally wearing a house on my hand. Of course, I must look at it more.”

Gu Jingze looked at her. No matter how easygoing she was, she was actually still a girl too.

Gu Jingze thought to himself that their marriage was in fact conducted in a very sloppy manner. There was no wedding dress, no wedding ring, and no wedding ceremony.

He more or less felt some guilt in his heart. This was even more so when he looked at Lin Che’s hand right now. He had never even bought her a diamond ring.

He looked at Lin Che. “Lin Che, actually, do you want to hold a wedding?”
