The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

A shade of grief appeared between her eyebrows. Her nose twitched and she really felt an urge to bear some of his burdens together with him.

The doctor tidied up and checked each equipment again before asking Gu Jingze cautiously, “Do you find it difficult to breathe?”

“No.”

“If the pain is unbearable, we can continue to administer anesthesia.” The doctor knew that the flesh in the wound had already rotted and was bound to be very painful.

Yet, Gu Jingze merely moved his arm and said, “No need.”

The doctor looked at Gu Jingze in wonder and turned his head to tell Lin Che, “Madam, Mr. Gu is truly impressive. If an ordinary person was injured to this extent, he would definitely have passed out from the pain already. Of course, a typical person would probably have been unable to survive after going through an explosion like yesterday’s. But Sir’s body is very strong and so is his willpower. From what I saw today, Sir has probably passed the critical stage. The only thing to note is that the wound must not get infected.”

Hearing the doctor’s words, Lin Che’s heart just ached again in absolute agony.

Yes. He had stronger willpower than others did. Because he was Gu Jingze, he had to be strong.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and nodded. “I understand.”

The doctors walked out and quickly reported to the people outside that Mr. Gu had already regained consciousness and was now fine.

From outside, the doctors looked at Gu Jingze whose body was still stained with blood. With dreamy expressions on their faces, they said, “Mr. Gu is so handsome.”

“Yes. He’s really too handsome. Even when injured, he’s still so handsome.”

“I think that people who are injured have more of an unruly sexiness to them. Look, there are bloodstains on him. It makes him seem so powerful.”

“When he was sent here yesterday, his whole body was covered in blood. It really frightened me to death. I didn’t think that he would look as if everything was fine today.”

“How can Gu Jingze be the same as an ordinary person? They say that the Gu family brothers were sent overseas for special training back then. Of course, they must have experienced many major and minor injuries. Today’s injuries must have been nothing to him.”

Lin Che heard the discussions going on outside. She sighed and thought to herself that Gu Jingze indeed aroused so many obsessive gazes everywhere he went.

He was certainly Gu Jingze.

Lin Che closed the door. Seeing that Gu Jingze’s shoulder had already been wrapped up sturdily, she raised her head in slight distress and asked him, “Does it hurt a lot?”

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and shook his head. “Don’t worry. It doesn’t hurt.”

However, Lin Che shook her head and asked, “How can it not hurt? Gu Jingze, was yesterday night very terrifying? Did you almost die?”

Lin Che asked softly as she lay at the side and raised her head to look up at Gu Jingze’s face, which was slightly pale from having lost too much blood.

Gu Jingze huffed. “Of course. It was just because you made me angry.”

“I…” Lin Che thought about it. It was true that he had not stayed at home but went to the Fushan villa only because they had been arguing that night.

Such a serious incident would not have happened at home, given the tight security and the large number of guards.

The more she thought about it, the more Lin Che felt that she was the actual culprit who almost caused Gu Jingze’s death.

Looking at Gu Jingze, she said very apologetically, “I’m sorry. I won’t be so rebellious in the future. So, you really almost died?”

Gu Jingze said, “Because it was a suicide bomb, the personnel at the Fushan villa didn’t discover it in time. Of course, I almost died. But fortunately, I had pretty good luck and managed to hide behind the table.”

Although he had in fact managed to hide behind the table, the force of the explosion had sent him flying out along with the table. His exposed shoulder had been badly mutilated by the debris from the explosion. The table had also shattered into pieces. Fortunately, apart from merely being shocked directly into unconsciousness, nothing much had happened to his body.

However, compared to M Nation’s ambassador who had been reduced to dust right before his eyes, he was already fortunate enough.

Upon hearing this, Lin Che asked hastily, “Then, that special ambassador from M Nation… is he really dead?”

“Hm.”

“Why was it so serious…”

“The bomb went off right before his eyes… He had nowhere to hide. But it was also because he was in front of me and bore part of the impact. That’s why I was alright.” Intending to make her feel even more sorry for him, Gu Jingze grunted, “At the time, the only thought on my mind was that perhaps it would be better for me to die so that you wouldn’t hate me so much.”

“I’m sorry. I really don’t hate you…” Lin Che’s eyes even proceeded to moisten. As she imagined the distressing scene that night, she felt all the more that it was her fault. “I won’t do that again next time. Really, really…”

Even if he was in the wrong and misunderstood her, his safety came first. If her rebelliousness caused him to die outside…

Then, she would not be the only one affected.

Lin Che’s tears trickled down. Filled with self-reproach, she looked at Gu Jingze. “I’m sorry…”

Gu Jingze had initially planned to merely scare Lin Che a little, but he did not expect her to actually be frightened to tears.

Watching her tears patter onto his hand, Gu Jingze’s heart melted and he lifted her face with one hand.

Lin Che quickly covered her face in an attempt to hide it from him. “Why are you looking at me? Let me go. I didn’t wash my face. I’m so ugly right now.”

Gu Jingze frowned. “Move your hands. Let me see your face.”

“I don’t want you to see my face.”

She had not slept for the entire night and already looked dreadfully haggard. Her face was probably darkened and oily and she did not know how terrible she looked. On top of that, she had even begun to cry. Her eyes were swollen from crying and she looked like an ugly monster. She did not want Gu Jingze to see her at all.

Although he saw Lin Che trying her best to cover her face, Gu Jingze nevertheless lifted it.

He looked at Lin Che unwaveringly. Lowering his head, he gazed at her small, glistening face.

At this moment, this woman’s haggard face actually did not look ugly at all. Her skin was still as fine and smooth as milk. She merely looked much more tired than usual and there were even faint dark circles around her eyes. However, he found her even more endearing. Her eyelashes were like butterfly wings fluttering with pearl-like tears on them. The slightly greenish hue made the contours of her face look even clearer. It looked white and soft and could not be described as dirty in any way at all.

Unexpectedly, Gu Jingze was not bothered by the fact that she had not washed her face. He simply held her face like that and kissed her gently again and again on her forehead, her cheeks, her nose, and her lips before slowly releasing her.

“Silly girl. Someone planned the attack on me for a very long time. It has nothing to do with you. Even if it didn’t happen this time, sooner or later, they would have found an opportunity to take advantage of a hole in our security. Of course, I can’t hide at home all the time and not leave the house, right?”

He was a little vexed. He should not have criticized her and made her blame herself so much, especially when the incident was not really directly linked to her.

Instead, he had made her cry by doing this.

She had already been worried the entire night. He could not imagine how anxious she must have been seeing him like this. After all, a young lady like her had probably never encountered such a serious matter or seen such a severe injury.
