Chapter 208 - Waking Up The Next Day Feeling Shameful

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Lin Che wanted to dig into the seams.

She was helpless. This time, he was right in front of her, holding her shoulders, and not letting go. She couldn’t even find something to cover her face.

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che’s body and felt that she was a little too fragile.

He was not so wild anymore but he still left huge spots on her body.

He blamed himself even more. However, in that chaotic state of mind, how could he control himself?

Lin Che stared at him and felt that she was simply too shameful.

What was she thinking back then? How could she be so careless?

But in that situation, she couldn’t control herself. No matter how she reacted, she just acted on her instincts. She didn’t want to do it.

“Okay, okay. Gu Jingze... you... you’re hurting me. Get off.”

When he heard Lin Che say this, Gu Jingze’s face darkened and he quickly got off. Looking at Lin Che, he said, “I’m sorry. Where does it hurt?”

Lin Che hastily covered her body with the blanket and then looked at Gu Jingze, “It hurts everywhere...”

Gu Jingze saw her wrapped up like a little rabbit. He couldn’t help but laugh speechlessly.

Unconsciously, with a sense of doting, he felt that she was rather adorable this way.

Gu Jingze said, “Why don’t you come here and let me blow on it? It won’t hurt after I blow on it.”

“Get lost. No way!” Lin Che glared at this gangster.

Gu Jingze laughed.

Lin Che recalled that it was already a mess outside the elevator. The people who came in must have all been Gu Jingze’s men. Because everything happened so fast, she didn’t have time to think or react at all. Everything already happened before she could do anything.

Lin Che couldn’t help but ask Gu Jingze, “I saw the elevator drop and we all heard the crash. When I went down, I saw that the elevator was already smashed and you...”

Thinking about it again made her scared.

She dared not think what she would have done if Gu Jingze didn’t appear then.

However, she thought that Gu Jingze was already buried under the elevator when she heard his voice and he appeared at the stairway.

Lin Che asked, “What exactly happened?”

Gu Jingze chuckled and looked at Lin Che, “Silly girl. The elevator didn’t drop all at once. It stopped in the middle and my men managed to pry open the doors like before. Just as I climbed out, the elevator continued dropping. You may have run down the stairs very fast, but you weren’t as fast as the elevator.”

“Oh, I see...” Lin Che let out a breath. She gratefully thought then that thankfully they saved him with luck.

Gu Jingze saw that there was still some fear on Lin Che’s face. He went over to her and lightly held her cheek, “Good girl, don’t be scared anymore. It’s all over now. Everything is fine. Am I not well here?”

But Lin Che was still afraid. She looked at Gu Jingze and forcefully pinched him.

“Ouch! What are you doing?” Gu Jingze exclaimed.

Lin Che asked, “Does it hurt?”

“What do you think?!” Gu Jingze looked speechlessly at Lin Che.

Lin Che said, “Oh, since it hurts, then you must be real.”

She wasn’t dreaming. He was really fine.

Gu Jingze sighed and looked at Lin Che. He shook his head.

However, his description was an understatement. That nervous scene was not something that a mere few sentences could describe.

He honestly thought that he was going to drop with the elevator. It stopped halfway but it was only for a few minutes. If he had been any slower, he might have probably gotten buried. Luckily, his men were highly trained. They were swift in action and did not hesitate. If it were other people, they would plan the rescue and push the responsibility away from them. It would have all been too late by then.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and remembered that she wanted to ask many questions. However, she had so many questions that she didn’t know where to start.

“When you were supposed to get out first, why did you let me go first?” Lin Che asked him. She felt lucky that she didn’t take any longer to deliberate in that split second. Otherwise, both of them would really have had no more time at all.

“I’m a man. If I ditched you inside and escaped first, how could I still deserve to live in this world? I could never do something like that,” he replied.

Lin Che glanced at him. She thought that a man’s ego... was simply too great. Could it really be used to determine life and death?

“Why not? You’re so dumb, Gu Jingze. You should have escaped first and shut off all the news. You’re so rich, so if you shut the news, nobody would know about it. You’re such an important person while I’m just a tiny nobody. If you really pushed me out first and you died... I would really not know how to redeem my sin.”

Gu Jingze glared at her, “Yes yes. Next time, I’ll do just that.”

Lin Che laughed, “It’s too late. See? I’m still alive and kicking now; you can’t enjoy your singlehood after being widowed. You can only continue being a married man.”

They looked at each other. She also understood that joking about all this was fine now because both of them were unharmed.

If something really had happened, who would be in the mood to make jokes?

No matter what, he was her husband.

He was a good man.

She thought that when he pushed her out first, it wasn’t just because of his ego. It was also because he cared.

Thus, Lin Che was extremely touched and grateful for him.

She said, “Thank you, Gu Jingze.”

Gu Jingze looked at her watery eyes and his body moved.

He rolled over and pulled her blanket away.

“Ah, what are you doing...”

“Is that all the thanks I get? Isn’t that a little too insincere?”

Gu Jingze smiled with an evil charm. He leaned against her body and felt his own body heat up.

“Ooh... Gu Jingze, what are you doing...”

“What am I doing? I don’t like answering. I only like to express my reply with my actions...”

As he spoke, he really started expressing himself.

Lin Che only felt depressed and her whole body was not good.

Wasn’t he sleepy... It was already so late... Wasn’t he tired... How many times had it been?

After a night’s action, it was soon daylight. Gu Jingze was woken up by a call.

Gu Jingze looked at the woman beside him and gently kissed her cheek. Then, he quickly walked outside with his phone.

“What’s up?”

“Sir, we have investigated the matter. We suspect that someone was trying to sabotage Madam. It was just an accident for you.”

“This matter... was targeted at Lin Che?”

“That’s right. No one knew Sir would be there, but Madam would definitely have taken that elevator. Before Madam used it, there was a repair sign placed there to prevent anyone from going in. Just as Madam’s interview was done, someone took the sign away.”
