Just then, Gu Jingyu schooled his face into an emotionless expression and looked at Lu Chuxia. “If you came here just to tell me this, then you can go now since I’ve already found out.”
Lu Chuxia deflated.
She looked at Gu Jingyu before turning her gaze to Lin Che.
She still couldn’t believe that Gu Jingyu was actually so easygoing.
Neither could she believe that Lin Che escaped unscathed just like that.
This woman… why was she so lucky?
Lu Chuxia glared fiercely at Lin Che. She raised her eyebrows and simply walked out haughtily in her high heels.
Sooner or later, she would make Lin Che disappear completely from this industry. When that happened, she would wait and see if Lin Che could still be arrogant.
Gu Jingyu watched Lu Chuxia’s retreating figure vanish outside.
Lin Che persistently felt as if she had survived a disaster. As she looked at Gu Jingyu, she found it truly inconceivable that he was not angry.
“Senior Jingyu. Seriously, thank you,” she said.
Gu Jingyu’s hands were on his waist and his shoulders were caving in slightly.
He gazed at Lin Che. Indeed, he had not expected her to actually become his sister-in-law.
Even though he knew that she was married, it was unthinkable to him that she and his Second Brother were…
“Can you tell me now what exactly happened between you and my Second Brother?”
“Ah…” Embarrassed, Lin Che said, “Didn’t I just tell you?”
“Gu Jingze definitely wouldn’t be persuaded into marrying anyone he’s told to marry. Initially, I knew that he had gotten married. But I never expected his marriage partner to be you. I always thought that… there was nothing great about his partner. But it was actually you.”
Gu Jingyu felt that Gu Jingze could not possibly be as cold to Lin Che as he was to everyone else. This was especially so when he saw that Lin Che did not seem to be living a terribly difficult life.
Lin Che understood that what Gu Jingyu said was true. He was aware that Gu Jingze had always loved Mo Huiling. Yet Gu Jingze was actually married to her now.
Lin Che had no choice but to explain the situation briefly to Gu Jingyu. She told him that she had drugged him and that they had gone to the hotel and accidentally… thereafter, the Gu family had threatened Gu Jingze to marry her. In order to protect Mo Huiling, he married her. As for what happened after that…
Inexplicably, the situation had developed into its current state.
Gu Jingyu said, “I just knew that Lu Chuxia came here without good intentions, so I made her leave. At least you’re tactful and told me the truth. Otherwise, if you continued to lie to me, I would have definitely punished you. Even if you’re my sister-in-law.”
So he had actually made Lu Chuxia leave just now…
Lin Che quickly expressed her loyalty. “I won’t. I won’t ever lie to you in the future.”
However, Gu Jingyu continued looking at Lin Che.
Little did he think that she had wanted to drug him.
He could still remember that back then, he had planned to stay in that room.
If he had really stayed there that day and had not dragged Gu Jingze there, would everything have turned out completely different today?
Gu Jingyu could only shake his head.
“However, you really have to prepare my meals for me starting tomorrow.”
“Ah… alright, alright.”
“My Second Brother is so rich. What’s so difficult about helping me prepare my meals?” Gu Jingyu said.
Lin Che said, “Boss, you yourself are a famous A-lister. And you still have the nerve to say that you have no money?”
“But I’m definitely not as rich as my Second Brother.”
“Fine. I’ll pay for your meals, alright?”
“That’s more like it.”

When Lin Che returned home, she immediately told Gu Jingze that Gu Jingyu knew about the matter.
Gu Jingze had not expected this either. However, he looked at Lin Che and said softly nevertheless, “There’s no helping it. He would have found out sooner or later anyway. Why? You’re not happy about him knowing?”
Leaning against the wall, Lin Che said, “That’s not it either. I guess I’m much more at ease now that he knows. But at the time, I was very worried that he would be angry.”
Gu Jingze’s brow was beginning to furrow deeply. Unknowingly, he had already walked to Lin Che’s side.
How dare she say such a thing?
She was afraid that he would be angry.
Lin Che lifted her head up and saw that Gu Jingze was already looking at her with his body leaning close. With his hands resting on either side of her, he stared at Lin Che. “You should just worry more about me.”
“Huh? What did you say?”
“I said… right now, you should be more worried about me. About how I’ll deal with you tonight…”
“…” Lin Che yelled in surprise, “No. Don’t leave any marks on my neck. I have to film tomorrow…”

Lu Chuxia was still in disbelief when she arrived home.
She found inconceivable that Lin Che had suffered no consequence and that Gu Jingyu had simply let her off just like that.
It remained on her mind the entire night and she could not fall asleep too.
The next day.
Gu Industries.
Lu Chuxia came in bright and early. She instructed someone to inform Gu Jingze that she was here.
In his office, Gu Jingze drew in a long breath. If not for the Lu family, he would not have agreed to meet Lu Chuxia right now.
However, for Jingyan’s sake, he still had to be respectful towards the Lu family.
Very soon after, Lu Chuxia entered his office. She looked at Gu Jingze and said, “You’re unexpectedly relaxed. You sit in the office every day and aren’t even aware of what your own wife has been doing outside.”
His wife? Lin Che?
Gu Jingze looked at Lu Chuxia. “What happened to her?”
Lu Chuxia said in an intentionally exaggerated manner, “I really didn’t think that Lin Che had that kind of ability. Did you know that she has been keeping her marriage to you a secret from Gu Jingyu? I wouldn’t have discovered it if I hadn’t gone to visit the film set yesterday. But fortunately, I discovered it anyway and then told Gu Jingyu. Who would have imagined that he really didn’t know? He was so shocked.”
Gu Jingze raised his eyebrows at Lu Chuxia.
Lu Chuxia continued, “I thought that Gu Jingyu would ignore her from then on if he knew. But in the end, he actually said that he didn’t care.”
Gu Jingze stood up from his seat.
He looked at Lu Chuxia through narrowed eyes. “What exactly are you trying to say?”
Lu Chuxia said, “Gu Jingze, I’m trying to say that Gu Jingyu said that he didn’t care. Then, he started bantering flirtatiously with her right in front of me. I kept it to myself for the entire night and ultimately felt that it was only right for me to tell you.”
In actual fact, what she had said did bother Gu Jingze. He trusted Lin Che and trusted Gu Jingyu too. However, his desire to monopolize Lin Che was too intense. Thus, even if he knew that there was nothing going on between the two of them, he still felt uncomfortable inside.
In the past, he had never felt something like this when Mo Huiling was spending a lot of time with someone else. But when it came to Lin Che, he was uneasy.
Lu Chuxia looked at Gu Jingze’s narrowed eyes.
She genuinely felt aggrieved on Gu Jingze’s behalf. Why did a person so favored by God and situated so high above have to have feelings for Lin Che even though he could have any woman he wanted?
Lu Chuxia continued to gaze at Gu Jingze. He stood by the window and seemed to be in deep thought. His long legs appeared right before her as his back faced her. It was so captivating.
In spite of herself, Lu Chuxia started walking towards him.
