“There’s no need to apologize. It’s not your responsibility,” Lin Che dismissed him with a wave of her hand.

“No, you are my wife,” he emphasized.

Lin Che’s heart fluttered. He looked at her with dead seriousness, filling her heart with emotions.

He said she was his wife...

She quickly turned away, not wanting see his enchanting face.

Soon, they arrived home.

They walked in one after another. Gu Jingze instructed the maid, “Give Madam some medication.”

Lin Che turned back. Gu Jingze said, “You still have a cold. Take some medicine before going to bed.”

In the bedroom, Lin Che sat down on the bed. The maid brought the medicine in. Gu Jingze took the medicine and signalled for the maid to leave. He said to Lin Che, “Open your mouth.”

Lin Che replied, “I’m fine, really. I don’t need to take any medicine.”

Gu Jingze frowned, “Open your mouth. Be a good girl.”

His voice was low and pleasant like a cello. Lin Che’s heart palpitated and she thought how rare a perfect man like him was.

He was so hypnotizing, sexy, wealthy, and even responsible.

He was so nice to her.

It was only because he felt responsible to be nice to his contract wife that he helped her so much. But still, she felt touched.

It suddenly occurred to her that if they divorced one day, she would never be able to find such a perfect man again.

Lin Che’s heart felt a slight tang.

Gu Jingze asked,” What are you daydreaming about? Don’t act dumb. Open your mouth and take your medicine.”

Lin Che blushed and turned away, “No.”

“Really?”

“Really, I’m fine. Anyway, medicine is not good for the body. I didn’t even take medicine when I had a high fever of forty degrees Celsius when I was a kid. And I got well on my own.”

“Forty degrees...” Gu Jingze stared at Lin Che. She had some kind of luck to still be alive until today. “I finally understand why you’re so intellectually challenged. It must be that childhood fever.”

“Bastard!” Lin Che raised her head in objection and said, “It’s precisely why my body is so strong! I lost so much blood but still survived.”

“Your method is not scientifically proven. Who skips medicine when they have a high fever?” Gu Jingze insisted.

Lin Che said, “Not everyone is born with a golden spoon in their mouth like you. We don’t all have a personal doctor at our call. I lived with a nanny when I was little. She was always busy and no one really bothered about me. But it didn’t matter because I rarely got sick. My body is strong. I only remember getting a forty degree fever that one time. I woke up in the middle of the night but my nanny wasn’t around. I ran out to look for medicine but I hadn’t learned many words back then. So I mistook a bunch of yellow tablets as cold medicine and swallowed them all. I almost scared my nanny to death and she rushed me to a nearby clinic. It turned out that nothing happened to me and my fever had already subsided. The doctor said that kids who usually take medicine would have been in grave danger. I was lucky to have such a strong immune system.”

Upon hearing how nonchalant she was, his face sank and his thin lips formed a straight line. He had unknowingly moved closer to Lin Che. She raised her head and met his dark pupils. She leaned back but Gu Jingze said threateningly, “Take your medicine. Don’t force me to take extreme measures.”

Lin Che watched him inch closer to her, his lips and throat moving. She felt her body get warmer so she turned around, ready to escape, “I’m really okay. I don’t need medicine.”

At that moment, Gu Jingze put the pills in his own mouth. His long arm reached over to her and his hand held Lin Che’s chin. He pressed his lips against hers.

A cool tongue, accompanied with the bitter taste of medicine, invaded Lin Che’s mouth.

Lin Che screamed and then she felt his lips completely block her breath.

The pills slid down her throat as she stopped breathing momentarily.

What was worse was that even after the medicine had gone down, his tongue was still exploring her mouth, not wanting to leave.

After what seemed like eternity, he finally released her lips. Lin Che coughed fiercely. Gu Jingze noticed her ears had turned red and the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. As she raised her head, he handed her a cool cup of water, “Drink some water to help yourself.”

Lin Che speechlessly glared at him.

Gu Jingze moved closer to her, full of amusement, “Why? Do you need me to make you drink water the hard way too?”

Lin Che burst. She huffed, “Bastard!”

She snatched the cup of water and quickly took a huge gulp.

Gu Jingze nodded in satisfaction, “Good girl. Don’t try to challenge me next time.”

Lin Che thought, This person was pure evil.

However, he just wanted her to take the medicine for her own good. She felt a little warm in her heart.

When she was young, nobody had cared so much about her besides her nanny.

Gu Jingze glanced at her, “I hope you get well soon; I don’t want you passing it to me.”

Seriously...

“Relax. My body is really strong. I’ll recover quickly. Also, what you just did will make passing it to you even easier.”

“Strong? You got sick out of the blue,” Gu Jingze’s gaze was fixed on her lips, “Saliva can kill germs and bacteria; you won’t pass it through that. Just take care of yourself.”

“...”

It was true. Since he was treated like a king in the Gu family, he had so many people tend to him. He did not need her concern.

Even if he caught a mere cold, he would have a team of doctors all ready to treat him.

They were a part of two different worlds. Lin Che suddenly realized how different they were and how distant she was from him.

Lin Che said, “It’s not like I get into an accident every time.”

But then again, a lot of things had happened to her recently. If she was not getting hurt, she was falling sick.

She thought, Mo Huiling probably did not experience all those things like she did .

She started to blame herself. No wonder Gu Jingze liked Mo Huiling. She was good and obedient; she never got into any trouble.

Lin Che thought, Perhaps people were right when they didn’t approve of her being with Gu Jingze.

A woman like Mo Huiling was better suited for him.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

At least her life was comfortable and decent. She did not have many problems in her life.

On the other hand, a small bug like Lin Che had a life full of problems that she could not avoid it even if she wanted to.

Gu Jingze said, “Alright. Go to sleep quickly.”

“But I haven’t washed up,” Lin Che replied.

Gu Jingze said, “Don’t. You’re still sick. Nobody is complaining anyway.”

“But...”

“Shut up and sleep,” he commanded and tucked her in with the blanket.

Lin Che thought, Nobody was as bossy as him.
