Chapter 1028 - Why So Exhausting

Thankfully, he stood on her side. Otherwise, it would probably be rough to be his enemy.

Lin Che said, “But if there really are rules, you can tell me. It’s not good to send tongues wagging like how I unknowingly came in here today.

Gu Jingze said, “Those tongues are talking about me. I’m the one who brought you in. Whatever they say is no use. You are my woman and this is my home. I’m the head of the house. I can take you anywhere and the rules don’t matter as much as you do.”

1Gu Jingze looked at her quietly. His eyes were cold but absolute. “If anybody dares to talk about you, I can say that I’m the one who taught you. If they have any problems with that, they can approach me directly.”

Lin Che smiled and hugged Gu Jingze. She said, “Silly, I don’t need that.”

Gu Jingze held her hand as they walked out. Gu Jingze never once took a rest but with Lin Che here, he seemed to have relaxed. He took her out for a walk.

There weren’t many people on the streets outside. They strolled along with no sense of urgency. He only looked at her and already felt at ease.

Actually, there was no need to do anything as long as one was with someone they liked. Just strolling and seeing that she was there already made him feel very happy.

He rubbed his brows and closed his eyes. All the while, he did not let go of her hand.

Lin Che noticed his light sigh. She looked at him, worriedly and asked, “Are you feeling tired?”

His face had always been unwavering and it was hard to tell if he was tired or not.

It was the same, just now. He put on a strong front to deal with everyone and never once showed a little exhaustion. It was only until coming here that he relaxed and she could see that he looked a little different.

His eyes were abysmally dark, but it was clear that he looked a little tired.

Gu Jingze replied, “Yes. I haven’t slept in a long time.”

“What? How long?”

“I think... at least thirty hours.”

“What? How come?” Lin Che looked at him. Her heart ached at the thought of him working for the past thirty-something hours. “How can you not sleep? You could have taken a nap while you let others take care of things. Let’s go home and get you some sleep.”

Lin Che tugged him towards the direction of home.

Gu Jingze stopped Lin Che. “What for? I’m fine.”

He pulled her into his embrace.

Rubbing her soft body made him feel that this was already enough.

He bent down to kiss her forehead. “It’s only thirty hours. When I was working, I could go without sleep for seventy hours.”

Seventy hours...

She already felt like dying when she was filming without rest for forty hours. Furthermore, that was only because she couldn’t sleep properly. She could still find a corner to take naps whenever there was free time in between scenes. Forty hours of this and she was already dead beat.

But Gu Jingze never slept a wink.

That was crazy.

Why was he working so hard?

She always thought that God’s favored one probably never felt tired.

But that was not the case.

He was still tired.

Lin Che hugged him. “This won’t do. If you’re tired, how can your body take it?”

“I’m used to it. I was always flying back and forth when I was studying. I basically only slept on the plane. But you see? My body is still in better condition than yours.”

“You don’t have to work so hard.”

Gu Jingze hugged her. But there was always unfinished business and he was an impatient person. Thus, he had to finish things before he could rest.

Lin Che frowned and said worriedly, “Even I can’t take it if you keep going at this rate. If you don’t rest, your body will deteriorate. Are you going to leave our kid and me behind?”

Lin Che said, “That won’t do. You’re a husband and a father now. You’re responsible for more people now and you have to fulfill your duties, right?”

Gu Jingze looked at her and knew that she was worried about him. He smiled and pinched her cheeks.

“Don’t coddle me. You’re not allowed to coddle me anymore, you hear me?” Lin Che said as she looked at him stubbornly.

“Fine, fine, fine...” Gu Jingze had no other choice. He sighed. “Roger that, okay? In the Gu household, I’m the head and you’re the boss.”

“Idiot.” Seeing that he agreed, Lin Che was satisfied. She smiled again. “So, according to you, it seems like I’m the boss of the Gu household. I’m not that great.”

“Aren’t you, though? The Gu household listens to me while I listen to you. Of course you’re the boss.”

Lin Che heard this and said proudly, “Oh my, you make it sound like I’m that powerful. Oh my. It feels as if the whole world is in my hands.”

Gu Jingze said, “Of course. Everything is yours.”

Lin Che said, “Then I don’t have to see anyone’s face in the Gu household at all.”

“Of course. You never had to.”

“Hehe. If I told anybody that, they would definitely be scared out of their wits. If I told them that I’m the boss of the Gu family, they would probably think I’m crazy.”

“But you are.” He helped this gleeful little woman tidy her collar.

Lin Che said, “When you’re done in these few days, you won’t be so busy anymore. You should take a good rest then.”

“Okay. You’re the boss and I’ll listen to you. I’ll definitely rest.” Gu Jingze really looked obedient.

Just then, Lin Che saw a poster saying that there would be a concert in a few days. It was one of the best singers and the tickets were already sold out.

She looked at the poster and said, “Oh my, I really want to go to this concert...”

Gu Jingze frowned at a glance. He did not recognize the man on the poster and he only saw the singer as a man. He asked, “Why? Do you know this man?”

The more he cared about her, the more he felt any masculinity around her was a threat.

Lin Che responded, “What? How can I possibly know him? He’s a singer and I’m an actress. Even if I do, we wouldn’t be close. Given his level, it’s all the more he wouldn’t be close to people like me. He doesn’t really act either. He wouldn’t act in TV dramas even if he did. He only appeared in some movies. I used to like him a lot. I didn’t expect him to have a concert now. I never had the chance to see his concert because it was too expensive for me.”

Gu Jingze asked, “Like him?”

Upon seeing his dark, clouded eyes, Lin Che said speechlessly, “I like his singing, alright?”

Lin Che glared at him and said woefully, “But I probably won’t be able to get a ticket. His concerts always sell out in seconds.”
