At night.

Gu Jingze waited until nine, but Lin Che was still not back.

At the Gu residence, the maids were scurrying around. When they saw Qin Hao who had just returned from Cambodia, they smiled briefly, “Sir is inside.”

Qin Hao acknowledged them and went in to report to Gu Jingze. He knocked on the door and entered. Gu Jingze immediately got up and stared directly at him.

“Sir...” Qin Hao said, “You don’t need to stand up... I’m back. Yes, I completed my task and came back. I missed you a lot while in Cambodia, so I finished my task as fast as possible to come back immediately. You...”

Before he could finish, Gu Jingze already sat back down indifferently, “Oh, it’s settled?”

Qin Hao had to lower his voice as he walked over and cautiously said, “Yes yes, already settled.”

“Then you may leave.”

“Yes...”

Qin Hao looked at Gu Jingze’s cold expression strangely and could only leave the room.

Gu Jingze sat down and took a deep breath, still feeling somewhat vexed.

This anxious feeling while waiting for someone to return was something he felt for the first time. His heart grew more uneasy.

Just then, the door opened.

Once again, Gu Jingze immediately stood up.

However, when he looked up with anticipation, he saw that it was Qin Hao yet again.

“Sir, I forgot...”

Qin Hao quickly submitted information and wanted to say something, but he was deterred by Gu Jingze’s unhappy face.

His entire body felt cold, so he hurriedly uttered, “Sir...”

Gu Jingze placed his palms on the table and looked at him indifferently. His expression was cold and distant.

“Qin Hao, since you settled things so quickly at the factory, I’ll leave the Cambodia factory for you to handle. Your break is not canceled yet, right?”

“Ah...”

“You don’t need to cancel it anymore. I’ll get the human resource department to buy you a plane ticket. Since your visa is still valid, you can continue staying in Cambodia.”

“...”

What did he do wrong...

Qin Hao was panicking internally.

Judging Qin Hao’s capabilities, Gu Jingze swiped all the documents that Qin Hao just gave him onto the floor. He leaned back into his chair and rubbed his brows in fatigue. This damned... Lin Che, why was she not back yet...

At the bar.

Lin Che sneezed hard.

Shen Youran looked at her strangely, “Why are you sneezing? Don’t tell me you caught a cold?”

“No, it’s probably the smoke here. Why do these people love to smoke so much?”

“Who knows? Eh, your husband doesn’t smoke?”

“Not really. He has great self-control.”

“I guess so. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to be with you in the same room for so long and never touch you,” Shen Youran said. She looked at Lin Che curiously, “You too actually. I can’t believe you’re not throwing yourself onto him. If I had such an opportunity, I would have done that long ago.”

Lin Che retorted, “Then you can go ahead. He’s all yours.”

“Nah, I’m not the one living with him.”

“It’s because of his illness, so he can’t touch women. He probably can’t even get aroused looking at me.”

“No way...”

Lin Che had never thought about all these. But now that she thought about it, he did not seem to have any problems when he touched her. However, he still did not touch her. Lin Che suspected that it could be a psychological problem. Perhaps it was because whenever he touched women, he would get ill. Thus, whenever he saw women, he thought of them as obstacles and eventually lost the desire for them.

Lin Che reminded herself not to disclose his personal matters too much, so she just smiled, “It’s nothing. I’m joking.”

“Oh. That’s why I said that I think someone like Gu Jingze would definitely have lots of women clamoring for him. Take good advantage of your **** luck, please. Don’t be so resentful anymore.”

Lin Che rolled her eyes, “You don’t understand. This **** luck is all fake. Sooner or later, it’ll all go away.”

Lin Che sighed and leaned against the counter. Thinking about Gu Jingze, she figured that she should distance herself from him more. That would be the safest!

When she got home, it was already ten.

She reached the room but saw that it was pitch-black. A voice suddenly sounded from the sofa inside.

“So you do know how to come back.”

That scared Lin Che who watched Gu Jingze slowly get up. She patted her chest, “Are you trying to scare me to death?”

Gu Jingze looked at the time, “What time is it? Why are you only back now?”

“I stayed out a little later with my friend. Eh, how come you’re home?”

With Mo Huiling so close to them now, he should have ran over to accompany Mo Huiling.

She thought it through. Facing these problems was inevitable, even though it may not be comfortable.

They were supposed to be a couple anyway. No matter how they got together, it should not be a problem.

Gu Jingze replied, “This is my house. Of course, I can be home when I want to.”

“Oh. You can continue watching the TV then. I’m going in to change.”

When she spoke finish, she walked in without looking at Gu Jingze.

Still burning inside, Gu Jingze only stood there and watched her back in confusion.

This Lin Che was getting colder towards him...

After a while, Gu Jingze walked into the room. Lin Che had already changed into her pajamas and was lying on the bed while reading her script.

Gu Jingze cleared his throat.

Lin Che raised her head and finally looked him in the eye. But she just looked back down and continued browsing her script.

Gu Jingze frowned slightly and looked down at himself. He grunted and went into the bathroom.

He thought that his figure was not bad and his appearance was fine too. He had not been working out as much lately, but his muscles were still in perfect form. He also knew that because Lin Che was in the entertainment industry, she would have seen countless handsome men and beautiful ladies. Perhaps that was why she already tired of looking at him?

Lin Che heard the water running in the bathroom and glanced in that direction. The water stopped soon after and then the door opened. Gu Jingze stepped out.

His body was still wet and his hair dripped with water. His strong, honey-colored skin rippled over his muscles. When he knew that she would be in the room, he usually put on a bathrobe or pajamas before walking out. But this time, he merely had a towel wrapped loosely below his waist.

Even Lin Che felt worried about that towel wrapped around him; a single touch and he would be completely exposed.

H-h-he... Was he mad?

“Gu Jingze you... why aren’t you wearing any clothes?” Lin Che jumped down from the bed.

Gu Jingze was walking towards her, his face emotionless like a natural model. He looked innocently at Lin Che, “What’s wrong? It’s hot in here and the bathrobe in the bathroom is still damp so I don’t want to wear it. Is there anything wrong?”

“But you...” Lin Che pointed to his lower area.

There was something standing in the middle that would make people’s thoughts run wild. Lin Che looked and remembered which part that was. Her entire body burned up.

She quickly pulled back her finger which was still pointing at it. She put that finger in her mouth and started biting it.

She could not deny...

That area looked rather huge...
