The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

The people who stood behind saw what she was trying to do and rushed over hurriedly to pull her aside. They held onto her so that she could not move.

This was against Lin Che’s will. She shouted while struggling, “Let me go, let me go! Gu Jingze, wake up please, wake up, don’t die…”

The people persuaded her, “Miss Lin, please don’t be like that. If you continue, we will have to take you away.”

Lin Che froze for a moment, she looked in Gu Jingze’s direction and paused for a while.

After she regained her composure, she turned back to look at Li Mingyu and at the people who stood behind her, “You said that you would take good care of him!”

The people stared at Gu Jingze.

The marks of a knife and whippings were evident.

His head hung low with beads of perspiration trickling down his face. His good-looking face was covered with bloodstains and it made one shudder. But even in that situation, that expression and that cold-looking face still left one in awe. Something was puzzling… who had done that to him?

“Miss Lin, Sir did not order us to do that to him. We really don’t know how he got to this state.”

Lin Che bit her lips and glared at those people. She knew that it was useless to talk to them. So she turned around and went up to hug Gu Jingze. She lifted her head to look at his face. Tears welled up in her eyes.

“Gu Jingze, wake up, wake up…” Her hands found his, but they were so cold like ice cubes that it frightened her.

She held his hands with trembling fingers, “Gu Jingze, can you hear my voice?”

There was no response from him and she hugged him even more tightly. At that moment, she felt him move.

Lin Che raised her head at once.

The first thing she saw was his dark pupils. They were slightly cloudy but were gradually widening.

All along, she knew that Gu Jingze had a pair of beautiful eyes but they were never as beautiful as they were at that moment.

She hugged him tightly and while looking into his eyes, she shouted, “Gu Jingze, Gu Jingze, look at me, look at…”

Gu Jingze’s dry lips twitched. His wet hair was pressed against his forehead. His eyes sparkled and his lips moved.

“What did you say?”

Lin Che felt that he was trying to say something, but she could not make clear of his words.

She moved closer to him and tiptoed so that she could get closer to him. “What did you say? Gu Jingze, say it. I’m listening.”

“Lin Che…”

“Yes, I’m here.”

“I love…”

“What? What did you say?”

“I love you…”

“What?” Lin Che thought that she heard him say “I love you”, but she could not be sure of it.

It was as if her heart was shaken up greatly all of a sudden and continued to be shaken.

She tried to get closer to him. Looking at him, he asked, “What did you say? What did you say?”

However, Gu Jingze had already fainted and lost consciousness.

His eyes were shut and his long eyelashes had blood on them.

Lin Che’s heart wrenched and she was on the verge of bursting into tears.

She held his face in her hands and she did not want to wake him up again. She muttered under her breath, “I know, I know… Gu Jingze, I know…”

Lin Che stood in front of him to protect him but the men told her, “Miss Lin, we should leave.”

“I’m not leaving.” She hugged onto Gu Jingze. “You guys can leave. I’m staying here to wait for Li Mingyu to wake up.”

“No way, Miss Lin. We have already broken the rules to let you enter this place.”

“Let go! I’m not leaving. If you make me leave, don’t blame me for it!” Lin Che fished out a fruit knife from her pocket.

Pointing it towards the people before her, she shouted, “Make way!”

The men shot a sharp gaze at Lin Che, “Miss Lin, if you refuse to cooperate with us, we have no choice but to resort to extreme methods.”

Lin Che looked at them. “I’m not asking you to release Gu Jingze, I know it’s impossible to ask you to do so. I just want to stay here.”

The men looked at each other but they would not dare to allow her to stay there.

Lin Che held up the knife. “Just let me stay here. I’m not going to do anything, I just want to be by his side, alright?”

At this moment.

Li Mingyu who was supposedly in deep sleep just now stood up immediately.

Lin Che was shocked. She stared in his direction.

Li Mingyu narrowed his eyes. He sneered and the corner of his lips twitched.

On this side, his men were taken aback. They looked at him and bowed their heads politely. Then, they retreated a few steps and stood still.

Lin Che looked at him in astonishment. “You… You are awake.”

Li Mingyu laughed coldly and said, “Actually, I never wanted to get drunk. Did you think that I would get drunk on just that much alcohol?”

Surely Lin Che had not thought of that but she wanted to give it a try. She would devise her plan along the way. Besides, she was a captive. Whatever plan she came up with would be futile as they could not compete with the changes.

Then, she looked at Li Mingyu and affirmed, “Let me stay. Now that I saw him, I can never leave in peace.”

She stuck close in front of Gu Jingze and looked at Li Mingyu.

Li Mingyu said, “I just wanted to see what tricks you had up your sleeve. Indeed, you came to look for Gu Jingze.”

Lin Che said, “I knew that he came and definitely wanted to go and look for him. You said that you did not do anything to him but look at him! See how terrible he looks after he got tortured by you! You lied to me!”

Li Mingyu frowned. He tilted his head and looked at Gu Jingze who was behind her.

He looked like he had just gone through some torturous treatment.

Li Mingyu’s brows were twisted. He turned around and looked at his men.

“Who did it?” He asked in a cold tone.

The men who had a great time beating Gu Jingze up felt weak in their legs and knelt on the floor.

“We… We don’t know…”

They finally got to see Gu Jingze and to see that the great Gu Jingze was tortured by them, it was very satisfying.

But they had not expected that Li Mingyu did not want them to treat him that way.

Li Mingyu stared coldly at them and said, “Take them out. Who gave them the guts to touch Gu Jingze? Who do they think they are? People like you want to hit him? Hmph, you should see if you have the right to do so.”

It was not clear what Li Mingyu meant by “take them out” but when the men heard this phrase, they were so frightened that their faces turned ghastly pale immediately.

The men were taken away and the remaining people looked in Gu Jingze’s direction with lingering fear in their hearts.

Afterward, Li Mingyu looked at Lin Che. “I did not do that. They did it without my permission and I will definitely punish them but now, you have to leave with me.”

Lin Che was still hugging Gu Jingze. “No, I’m not leaving. Li Mingyu, I don’t believe you anymore. I don’t know how they are going to torture Gu Jingze. I want to stay here.”

Then, Li Mingyu’s face became very stern all of a sudden. “Lin Che, don’t go against me. Now that I’m allowing you to leave, leave immediately.”

Lin Che shook her head vigorously. “No, I’m not leaving. Drag me away if you want, but I’m staying here with Gu Jingze.”

Li Mingyu laughed, “What’s so good about Gu Jingze that all of you are losing your mind because of him?”
