Lu Beichen said, “Hey, I wanted to talk to you about it in private, but did you ever give me a chance? I could never find you once we arrived at the office.”

Gu Jingyan paused. It was true when she thought about it now. It was because she immediately started to avoid him once she reached the office so that they would not start arguing again in the office.

But of course, she would not admit this in front of him.

“You would’ve found me if you actually tried. You’re the one who thinks that I’m a thorn in your eye and can’t be bothered to meet me. That’s why you deliberately avoided me and did not want to meet me.”

“You...” Lu Beichen continued, “Forget it. I can’t be bothered to discuss these things with you.”

Gu Jingyan hummed and was just about to speak again when Lin Che hastily interrupted her, “I really pity your employees...”

Was being around the two of them every day like being plunged into an abyss of misery because no one knew when they would start arguing amongst themselves?

Gu Jingze said, “There’s no need. They’ll get used to it eventually. They’ll become like me. Like they’re watching a television series to see who will win today. Hn, sometimes it feels like watching the NBA gives me the same thrill. In any case, one side will win and the other will lose.”

“...” Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze speechlessly.

Gu Jingze looked at her. “Anyway, no matter how heated the argument gets and how many things they smash, they won’t necessarily separate. Otherwise, why are they still interacting with each other even after fighting all along?”

Gu Jingyan looked up at Lu Beichen and ultimately turned her head away.

Lu Beichen scoffed and said, “Huh. I’m not afraid anyway. We’ll argue if we want to. If she can’t tolerate it, she can suggest separation. But I won’t raise it no matter what.”

Gu Jingyan asked, “Why should I be the one to raise it? I can hold myself back from doing that. At the most, I’ll treat it as if I’m rearing a disobedient parrot. He’s always talking at the side. Indeed he’s a bit noisy but it doesn’t cause any disturbance to me. Of course, you can initiate separation if you can’t stand it.”

They glared at each other and turned away immediately.

Fortunately, they finally arrived at the shopping mall at that moment.

After alighting from the car, Lin Che quickly pulled Gu Jingze up the stairs.

While walking, she said, “Aiya, if I knew that they had such fiery tempers, I simply wouldn’t have agreed to come out with Jingyan. I should have just left them to argue amongst themselves.”

Gu Jingze said, “Forget it. It’s fine once you get used to it. It will only take a while.”

Lin Che said, “But it will really be a pity if they were to separate. I reckon that it will be very difficult to find an opponent to argue with. At work, they can discuss their opinions about work matters together. And when they’re home, there are still things to talk about. Furthermore, they probably get into arguments because they’re so similar in terms of status. They also learned similar things and are highly intelligent. Between a man and a woman, there won’t be any arguments if one party isn’t so strong-headed.”

“Like us?” Gu Jingze nodded his head as if in thought and said, “You’re right. I crush you in every aspect, so you’re not really in the position to argue with me. Especially when you may not even be able to go up against me in an argument with your level of intelligence.”

Lin Che raised her head and glared at him fiercely.

All of the amenities in the building were newly-built. It was a very big mall and had started operating not long ago. Lin Che knew about it too. Previously, she had repeatedly seen advertisements about it. She had heard that this was a mall for food, drinks, and leisure. There was a total of 13 floors; the hotel was upstairs and the mall was downstairs. The space in between was for exercise and leisure. There was a cinema, an arcade, and a gym. Everything could be found here.

Lin Che had simply not expected it to be a development by the Gu family.

There were quite a number of people here. Lin Che, Gu Jingze, and the others went up through a passageway inside. When they arrived at the fitness center, there were much fewer people. There were a sports hall and a gym. There was even a tennis court, an indoor golf course, and a bowling alley.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The bowling alley was quite empty. After going in, Lin Che followed Gu Jingyan to the changing room.

As they walked, Gu Jingyan asked, “How do you find it, Sister-In-Law? This place is pretty good, right?”

“It is. There’s so much space and it’s fully-equipped with amenities. It’s really not bad.”

“I already started looking for people to plan this development even before I returned to the country. We spent three years building it before it started operations.”

“Wow. So you made this happen,” Lin Che looked at Gu Jingyan and said.

Gu Jingyan said, “Yes. The capital still came from the Gu family, but I was the one who got people to plan it.”

Lin Che felt that the children of the Gu family were all very formidable. All of them had their own accomplishments in their respective fields.

Even Gu Jingze’s younger sister was the same.

The two of them went out after changing into gym clothes. Dressed in similar clothes, each of the two beautiful women had their own unique charm. One was alluring and the other was refreshing. Both of them really surprised everyone.

As they walked through the bowling alley, everyone else around them could not help but look at them.

Fortunately, the place was not crowded. Thus, even if someone recognized Lin Che, it would not cause any chaos.

With their eyes fixed on the two of them, the men were about to start drooling. However, they watched the two girls walk straight towards the two tall and well-built men over there. Although all of them were dressed in simple gym clothes, it was precisely their casual attire which made their natural beauty even more obvious.

It was clear with one look that they were not ordinary people. Even in gym clothes, they were so good-looking. Much less in daily life.

Lin Che said, “Aiya. I bowled during my school days. I’ll give it a try.”

Gu Jingyan said, “Really? Go on, Sister-In-Law.”

“But I’m definitely much worse than you think, hahahaha. If any of you dare to laugh at me, I’ll stuff the bowling ball into your mouths.”

Gu Jingyan said, “Hahahaha. Sister-In-Law, you’re so funny. Don’t stuff it into my mouth. Stuff it into theirs. The two of them have such venomous mouths.”

Lin Che put some powder on her hand before picking up the bowling ball. When the machine indicated that the bowling pins were in place, she stepped forward and immediately threw the ball.

The ball moved along the lane. Luckily, it did not roll into the gutter.

But the ball slanted a little and only knocked down three pins.

Behind her, Gu Jingze shook his head.

Lin Che exclaimed “oh no” before saying, “Aiya, I knocked down three pins. That’s not bad, not bad.”

Gu Jingze said, “There are seven more that you didn’t hit.”

Lin Che said, “Seriously, you... you must know how to change your perspective, alright? If you keep looking at the bad side of things, you’ll be unhappy all the time. If you look on the bright side, you’ll be very happy every day, right? Why do you have to focus on the pins that I didn’t knock down? You should look at the ones that I knocked down.”

Hearing Lin Che’s words, Gu Jingyan narrowed her eyes and nodded.

She smiled and said to Gu Jingze, “Sister-In-Law is right.”

Gu Jingze looked at Gu Jingyan before nodding coolly to Lin Che

Alright then. She wasn’t wrong either.

He knew that this girl had always had many nonsensical principles. At times, they left the perfectionist in him speechless too.

However, Gu Jingyan smiled as she looked at Lin Che.

She seemed to be taking a liking to this Sister-In-Law.

She was also beginning to understand why Second Brother liked being together with her and treated her so well.

Gu Jingyan said, “That’s enough. Don’t make fun of Sister-In-Law. You guys give it a go. Why don’t you compete against each other and see who’s better?”
