The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

“How did you become neighbors?”

“How do the two of you usually get along?”

The two of them became the focus of everyone’s conversation at this moment.

Mu Feiran smiled and looked at Lin Che beside her. “Lin Che and I realized that we were both in America, so we moved in together. We had a very happy time together. We took care of each other and lived together. I can say that she is the closest person to me right now.”

Hearing this, everyone felt even more strongly that this was a story worth investigating.

However, they probably would not say so much about this today since this was a press conference. Someone from Lin Che’s company also said immediately that there would be an exclusive interview on this subject in the future. As the press conference was going to end very soon, everyone should make good use of the time and ask questions.

The subsequent interview segment proceeded smoothly. Although Mu Feiran had not returned for a very long time, she still knew how to handle the reporters.

After the press conference ended, the news about Mu Feiran’s comeback was released in waves.

Mu Feiran had spoken very superficially. She had merely said that she had gotten a divorce and did not mention anything else. There was nothing for everyone to discuss either, so they eventually stopped talking about the issue of her divorce as well. After all, divorces seemed to be quite typical in today’s context.

However, Mu Feiran’s re-appearance caused all her fans to start appealing to her to make a comeback. This completely overshadowed any discussion about her assaulting a pregnant woman and causing her miscarriage.

As a result of Mu Feiran’s return, Lin Che also appeared on the list of trending topics. Everyone hoped that the two of them would appear in an exclusive interview to respond to questions about their friendship, their interactions, and their past together.

However, Lin Che would obviously not capitalize on Mu Feiran’s affairs to make herself the subject of conversation. Hence, the company dealt with the matter without agreeing to any interviews.

But during this time, Nan Gongyu suddenly called to tell Lin Che that they had finally decided that their movie would be named “Joy”. They had just submitted the movie for the Golden Name Awards and there was a huge possibility that she would be nominated for the Best Female Lead.

This would be Lin Che’s second time being nominated. The last time, Mu Feiran had won the award for Best Female Lead. She herself had merely gone there to attend the ceremony. Without Mu Feiran this time, the people who had been nominated were all quite famous veteran actors and A-list celebrities who had submitted their most impactful works this year. Therefore, the competition seemed very fierce as well.

Lin Che did not want to harbor any hopes too early, lest she return disappointed again. Thus, she was calm over the phone as well.

On the contrary, Nan Gongyu was very gloomy. He said, “Lin Che, you’re going to compete for the position of the movie queen. Why aren’t you excited at all?”

Lin Che asked, “What reaction do you want from me? I’ll treat everyone to a meal when I really win the title. I haven’t won the award yet. I shouldn’t get too excited yet.”

“Hey. It’s very difficult to even get nominated, alright?” Nan Gongyu said.

Lin Che sighed. “You’re right. I know that too. Thank you, Nan Gongyu. You even helped me get nominated but I was such a sorry sight the last time I attended the ceremony for nothing. I’m worried that this time will be the same…”

“Believe in yourself. Our movie has that capability! You’ll know once it’s released after the end of the year. I immediately submitted your name once I finished editing the movie because I really think that our movie is truly fantastic. It will definitely be the best movie of the year.”

“Nan Gongyu…”

“What?”

“Why do I feel that you’re becoming more and more narcissistic?”

“…”

Nan Gongyu hung up the phone angrily.

Lin Che smiled and hung up the phone as well.

She felt that she had put Nan Gongyu in a bad mood probably because she had been affected by the pregnancy and was to some extent emotionally unstable.

Just then, she saw Gu Jingze walking in with a glass of milk in his hands. He looked at Lin Che and asked, “What happened?”

Lin Che looked up. “I heard that I was nominated for the Golden Name Awards.”

“Really? Congratulations.” Gu Jingze smiled and asked, “When is the award ceremony?”

“It will probably be held next year. In March or April.”

“Oh, that’s alright. Your stomach wouldn’t be big by then.” Gu Jingze sat up and gently caressed her belly.

Lin Che’s appetite had been poor for the past few days. She was in pretty low spirits as well. As a result, Gu Jingze was extremely anxious. He felt the urge to place the most delicious food on earth in front of her and to cajole her and trick her into finishing it.

Lin Che asked, “Then, don’t you think I would be the biggest joke if I didn’t win the award?”

“Why would they mock you?”

“Well… Little Li has been attending the ceremony for nothing for a few years now. They’ve been laughing at him…”

“But isn’t he still at the top? He gets nominated every year. Are the people who have been mocking him any better than him?”

“Hm…”

Gu Jingze hugged her and said, “The fact that you were nominated shows that you have that capability and that people pay attention to you. In comparison, the people who mock you can only mock you because they couldn’t get nominated. Right?”

“Okay…”

“Think about it. Would you be happy if you got nominated or would you be happy if you didn’t get nominated?”

“Well… of course, I would be happy if I got nominated.” Lin Che thought about it. If Nan Gongyu had told her that he had submitted her name but she was not nominated, she would probably be even more furious.

Gu Jingze asked, “So, what is still troubling you? You should be celebrating right now. You can be disappointed later when you really don’t get the award. But don’t you think it’s too early to start being disappointed now?”

Gu Jingze’s words made sense…

While hugging Gu Jingze, Lin Che looked at his face which was close to hers.

She brushed her face lightly against his.

What would she do without him?

However, it was fortunate that he had always been by her side.

Only then did she remember that she had not even washed her face as she had been too lazy in the morning.

She looked at him. “Oops. I didn’t wash my face.”

Gu Jingze had already felt it. After sleeping for the whole night, her entire face was gleaming with oil.

He looked at her. “How could you have the cheek to say that?”

“I got it all on your face. What should we do?”

Gu Jingze sighed and looked at her, “What can I do? I’ll treat it as a skincare product.”

“…” Lin Che immediately turned silent. “You have such hardcore preferences!”

Gu Jingze smiled and pressed his face against hers. “I’ve tried all the fluids on your body. Don’t worry. I don’t dislike it at all.”

Bodily… fluids…

Lin Che felt even more at a loss for words. She hit him while blushing. “Ew!”

Gu Jingze chuckled.

Lin Che pouted. “Why? Do you really not dislike it at all?”

Gu Jingze said solemnly, “Silly girl. How could I dislike anything about you? You’re mine. No matter what, there’s no way I would dislike the things I have,” he said, caressing her cheek.

Lin Che’s heart turned warm. However, she then frowned severely and asked, “Wow. Did you just call me a thing?”

“…” Gu Jingze wondered what was in this woman’s brain. “Why is your focus always so off?”

“Hmph. You were simply calling me a thing.”

“So you mean that you’re not a thing?” Gu Jingze raised his eyebrows and asked.

“How mean. You’re bullying me!” While saying this, Lin Che threw her small fist at him.

Gu Jingze smiled and grabbed her fist. Then, he rubbed her body and said, “My biggest joy is bullying you. Bullying your entire body…”

“…” Lin Che felt that he had really been… extremely flirtatious over the past few days.

Lin Che wondered if it was because he could not do anything since she had gotten pregnant recently… so he was holding it in?
