Chapter 232: What Do You Feel Towards Me?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Lin Che heard the two words ‘wedding ceremony’, she raised her head in surprise. “A wedding ceremony? What wedding ceremony?”
Gu Jingze lowered his eyes and looked at her. “Because you didn’t get anything when we got married. When people get married, they usually hold a wedding ceremony and get wedding rings and a wedding dress. But you didn’t get any of those things.”
Lin Che only understood after hearing him say this. “Forget it. What do I need a wedding for?”
Their marriage was a fake one. Why did they even have to hold some wedding?
Then, when they divorced in the future, were they also going to hold a divorce ceremony?
It was still better not to hold one.
“No need to go through such trouble. I never thought of wanting to hold a wedding.”
Gu Jingze said, “If you want a wedding ceremony, Lin Che, let me know. We can actually hold one.”
“There’s really no need. I’m most afraid of trouble. A wedding or whatever is all just a formality. What age are we in now? Do we still need to hold a wedding? Are you doing this because you feel guilty?”
Gu Jingze caught the slight disdain in her eyes. It was really as if she thought that he was an old, antique from a different time. For some reason, he felt a little gloomy. He looked at her and said to her, “I do indeed feel guilty. You should have a wedding ceremony too. Isn’t a wedding ceremony a very important affair in a woman’s heart? Everyone has one; you can’t be the only woman not to have one. It’s unfair to you.”
Lin Che waved her hand wordlessly. “Forget it. We agreed from the outset that we didn’t want a wedding ceremony. I haven’t changed my mind either. If you really feel guilty, it’s fine if you just buy me more nice things.”
“…”
Gu Jingze looked at her weakly. “Alright… ”
Gu Jingze began to push Lin Che’s wheelchair. Lin Che smiled and turned her head backward. She looked at Gu Jingze and said, “You really think too much. Honestly, it doesn’t really matter to me.”
Gu Jingze glared at her. “Yes. You’re the only one who’s heartless.”
However, she did not want what all the other people wanted. He really could not understand it.
Gu Jingze did not have a lot of experience in dealing with women. Since she had said that she did not want a wedding, it simply meant that she did not want one. He could only say that he would keep the thought alive on her behalf and did not say anything else.
On their way out, Lin Che continued to keep her head down as she looked at the ring. In actual fact, she did not really like wearing jewelry. However, when she thought of the fact that the ring was probably quite expensive, she was still very glad.
Naturally, the ring sat heavily on her hand because this was something Gu Jingze had given to her. She thought to herself that although it was merely compensation which Gu Jingze had given to her because he felt apologetic, he ultimately still felt sorry towards her.
However, she did not know why Gu Jingze had such drastic mood swings today.
Lin Che said, “Gu Jingze, you can tell me whatever is on your mind. I’m alright with being your rubbish bin.”
Gu Jingze said, “It’s nothing.”
“Really. Otherwise, I’d feel a bit embarrassed about receiving such an expensive gift from you. Quick, just tell me so that I can feel at ease.”
“… ” Gu Jingze lowered his head to look at Lin Che. “It’s just that when I spoke with Huiling today, she said that she won’t harass me in the future.”
“Hm…”
“That’s actually nothing. Early on, I already thought that our relationship should have ended a long time ago. It’s not good for both of us to still long for each other even though we broke up. But today, she spoke about what we went through in the past and it made me feel a little apologetic.”
Lin Che nodded her head in understanding but said, “You and Miss Mo knew each other from a young age. Then, have you two been together since then?”
“Of course not. She followed behind me since we were young and continuously called me Older Brother Jingze. Initially, I only paid attention to my career. From a young age, I was homeschooled by home tutors and also had to familiarize myself with the family business, so I was always very busy. However, she kept following behind me. She accompanied me everywhere no matter where I went. So while we were in Italy, we went to the city square once to watch the pigeons. It was then that I told her that we should try going out for a bit.”
He paused and said, “At the time, I was seventeen years old.”
When Lin Che heard that Gu Jingze had been so busy from a young age, she really did feel some pity for him.
It looked like it was not easy to be a wealthy person either.
Lin Che said, “Then… you were very simple-minded.”
From the fact that Mo Huiling was able to tail after him for so long, it looked like she was also a devoted person.
“Miss Mo has definitely been pretty devoted to you. I don’t have the heart to follow a man for so long.”
Gu Jingze looked at her. “You speak as if you never liked that sissy before.”
“Hey, Qin Qing is definitely not a sissy!”
He truly felt very gloomy when he heard Lin Che defend Qin Qing in such a frazzled manner over there. “What else can he be if he’s not a sissy? Heh.”
“In any case, he’s just not a sissy.”
“You defend him so fiercely, yet you still say that you don’t have the heart.”
Gu Jingze’s gaze carried some hints of disdain. He snorted with complete derision towards Qin Qing.
“Indeed, I don’t have the heart. I definitely didn’t follow him for very long, much less follow right behind his butt… naturally, I don’t have the leisure that a rich young lady has. At the time, I was happy when I got to fill my stomach. Every day, I would go through hell and high waters. Love or whatever, all of those things were luxuries. Forget my one-sided crush. I never even confessed, alright?”
Gu Jingze lowered his head and gazed at her deeply before saying, “I’m usually too busy, so I was never concerned about Huiling. Thus, I dragged this out until now and that’s the only reason so many troubles arose. If I expressed my stance clearly to my family earlier and insisted that I would not marry anyone but her, then my family wouldn’t have been so adamant. Thus, this incident was indeed my fault. It has nothing to do with you.”
Alright then.
Lin Che looked at him. “This is precisely what they call passing someone by. It’s really harrowing. Even I want to write a script for you two.”
Gu Jingze looked at this unconventional woman.
“But everything has already passed. Right now, my feelings towards her are different from how they were in the past.”
Lin Che’s eyes twitched as if she did not want to hear him talk about his relationship with her. Deep inside, she was slightly reluctant. Knowing their shared history was already enough. She did not want to hear about something as detailed as his feelings towards her.
“No. You don’t have to tell me anything about your love life. I’m not interested in hearing about it,” she said with a slight tremble in her voice.
However, Gu Jingze looked at her. “No, I want to tell you. Lin Che, I can’t be sure what my feelings towards you are. But I’m sure that my feelings towards you are different from my feelings towards Huiling. I can’t give you a normal marriage and I can’t be a perfect husband either. I can’t give you a wholesome love… the only thing I can do is be honest with you.”
Lin Che heart sank slightly. A sour sensation nearly burst through her eyes but ultimately, she still did not cry. Mere words like these were not worth her tears.
She smiled and said, “Alright. Then, I’ll respect your choice. I’ll tell you frankly as well… ”
Gu Jingze looked at her. “What? What do you feel towards me?”
“Towards you, I just feel… that I can finally use you for **. Hahahahahahaha… ”
“… ” Gu Jingze’s face began to darken completely.
This woman was really too…
Gu Jingze said, “You’re so horny but you’re only telling me now… if you told me earlier, I would have let you use me.”
“… ” Lin Che said, “You’re the one who is horny. I’m just joking.”
“You know that I’m not good at joking around… then, tell me, have you been satisfied using me thus far?” Gu Jingze lowered his head to look at her. When he asked her this question with a completely serious expression, it made her cheeks heat up involuntarily.
“I’m not telling you. Hmph!”
Gu Jingze said, “You’re not telling me? But I want to ask. Quick, tell me.”
“I’m definitely not telling you. You’re so annoying. I’m going back home.” She pushed her own wheelchair and moved forwards.
Gu Jingze went over to her in a hurry. He held onto her wheelchair and said, “What are you running away for? You were the one who said it first.”
“It… it’s my fault. Isn’t that enough?”
“Alright. I’ll forgive you. But… compensate me when we go back… ”
“… ” Lin Che glared at him fiercely. However, she wondered why he now no longer had that sense of melancholy that he had earlier.
Sure enough, were all men animals who thought with their lower bodies?
