“Was he your boyfriend?” Qin Wanwan asked lowly, “Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone anyway. In our circle, what we know isn’t shared with the paparazzi. Otherwise, news of me hearing a male voice when I called you would have been on the headlines today.”

Alright. Upon thinking, Lin Che thought that was true as well. Since she had already heard the voice, there was nothing to hide from her anyway.

“I guess so... ”

“Aiya, do you really have a boyfriend? Not bad. You hid it well enough. When will you bring him out so we can meet him together?”

Lin Che could only say, “When there’s an opportunity.” However, in her heart, she thought that she would only bring Gu Jingze out if she was crazy.

Then, ecstatic cheers suddenly traveled in from outside. Lin Che said, “Which big shot came again?”

There were too many big shots today. The sounds from outside traveled in wave after wave and made her envious.

However, the person who pulled the door open then and came in was Gu Jingyu.

With this, the two of them understood the reason for those cheers earlier. No wonder they were so loud.

Qin Wanwan smiled and said, “We could hear your fans cheering from so far away.”

“Is that so?” Gu Jingyu smiled and came to Lin Che’s side. “You look so haggard.”

Qin Wanwan looked at how intimate Gu Jingyu and Lin Che were. She smiled and asked, “Hey, Lin Che. Could it be that Gu Jingyu is really your boyfriend? Was he the one who picked up the call last night? The voice actually sounded a little similar... ”

Lin Che went blank.

They were brothers so there were more or less some similarities between their voices.

After hearing this, Gu Jingyu raised his eyebrows darkly. “Hey, what’s going on... ”

Lin Che recalled that she had told Gu Jingyu before that she was already married. Of course, it was Gu Jingze who had used her phone to force her to tell Gu Jingyu.

Right now, Gu Jingyu’s ambiguous expression momentarily made Lin Che’s heart seize up with anxiety. He would not recklessly reveal this incident, right?

There was still a difference in the response she would receive from a secret marriage as opposed to a boyfriend.

Lin Che was still on tenterhooks. She then saw Gu Jingyu break into a playful smile. He raised an eyebrow and said, “Alright. Whatever you heard, just take it as you’ve never heard it.”

Thereafter, he glanced at Lin Che with a face full of amusement and again said misleadingly, “There are some things that Lin Che doesn’t want to reveal to others.”

“... ” Lin Che immediately glared at Gu Jingyu.

On the other hand, Qin Wanwan blanked out straight away. She looked shocked at the revelation that things were really as she thought they were.

Lin Che asked immediately, “What nonsense are you spouting, Gu Jingyu?!”

Gu Jingyu said, “Could it be that I said something wrong? Don’t you have some private information that you don’t want to reveal to outsiders?”

Yes. Like the fact that she was married. She told Gu Jingyu before but she did not want to tell anyone else again.

However, did he not feel that saying this now would cause Qin Wanwan to mistakenly think that there was something between him and her that could not be divulged to outsiders?

Qin Wanwan instantly registered what was happening. She looked at the two of them and thought in astonishment that they really turned out to be together. In that case, the person Lin Che was dating was seriously extraordinary.

It was no wonder at all. How could Gu Jingyu merely be good friends with Lin Che when he watched over her so much for no reason?

“Aiya, so it was true... ” She patted Lin Che’s hand. “Alright, alright. Lin Che, don’t be angry. It’s true that I know it now, but I won’t tell anyone else. If you two want to hide it, I’ll help you hide it.”

“It’s not what you think it is!” Lin Che could not find any other words to say.

However, Gu Jingyu was totally just watching the fun beside her.

From the side, Qin Wanwan even said, “Lin Che, your mouth is really sealed tight. Alright, you don’t have to say it if you don’t want to. I don’t have to make you admit it. I know that it’s not wrong to be a little more careful in this industry. It’s enough for us to know, hehe.”

“It’s really not the case... ”

Lin Che totally did not know what she should say anymore.

However, Qin Wanwan said, “But you’re so lucky to find a boyfriend as good as Senior Jingyu.”

“... ” Lin Che no longer had the energy to complain.

At the side, Gu Jingyu was even styling his hair as he pretended to look cool. It made Lin Che want to just slap him right now.

Then, someone came to ask Qin Wanwan to go out and try some clothes on. Qin Wanwan said, “I’ll leave you two to enjoy your quality time together.”

Thereafter, she glanced at Lin Che enviously.

With Gu Jingyu to protect and escort her every step of the way, she did not have to work hard for so many years.

Only after watching her leave did Lin Che turn her head angrily and yell, “Gu, Jing, Yu!”

Gu Jingyu’s expression was completely innocent. “Why? Did I say something wrong?”

“You, you, you, you’re just pitting yourself against me on purpose!”

“Hey, what’s so bad about being in a scandal with me? You seem to feel like it’s such an inconvenience for you. Am I really just that bad?”

“That’s totally not the case, alright?!”

“Alright, alright. Anyway, she won’t tell outsiders.”

She was not crazy. If she released the news, it would increase Lin Che’s exposure. Even an ordinary person would not release the news. There was only a certain amount of resources. If one person occupied the headlines, the others would be pushed aside.

“Furthermore, even if she does tell outsiders, she doesn’t have any concrete evidence either. It’s a fact that I didn’t say anything at all and neither did you. If the time comes and someone asks me, I can just say that I didn’t know about this and they can’t do anything either.”

Lin Che glared at him and felt like he was definitely someone whom the heavens had sent to specially make trouble for her.

In no time, the program was about to begin.

Outside, the venue was a complete mess, so no one had the time to concern themselves with the people inside either.

Lin Che did not know how long she had been waiting inside and watching the big shots and small celebrities walk back and forth. Luckily, Gu Jingyu’s staff came over later to watch over Lin Che for a little while. That was the only reason why she was not pressed into a corner by all these people.

That night, only when everything had been properly arranged did the venue become slightly more organized.

It was only Lin Che’s first time attending a gala like this. She looked outside for a moment and suddenly saw people holding placards with Lin Che’s name on them.

Lin Che called for Yu Minmin at the side and said, “Aiya, did our company get people to do that? Why are there people holding placards with my name on them?”

“Silly. Of course! Those are your fans.” Yu Minmin said, “Right now, you’re a person who has fans as well, alright?”

It was still Lin Che’s first time seeing her own fans. She could not help but jump up in surprise. “Oh my god, it can’t be. I even have fans?”

Then, she saw her fans look uncertainly to the area where she was. Lin Che even specifically walked slightly closer to them.

When they saw Lin Che walk towards them, the group of young girls over there started to cheer in excitement.

“Lin Che! Lin Che! Lin Che!”

Lin Che was slightly embarrassed. She walked over and said graciously, “Aiya, thank you for all your support. By the way, do you want me to sign anything or take photos together?”

Of course, the few young girls immediately got immensely excited.

Lin Che took photos with them and used a specific application to edit them for a very long time.

Yu Minmin watched from where she was and shook her head speechlessly. This Lin Che.

However, they did not know that this scene would be posted on the Internet by her fans in no time.

The next day, people on the Internet then began to start discussing Lin Che’s cute actions. They described the details in a very interesting manner. They stated that after Lin Che took the photos, she even said that she would edit them and put filters over them. She varied her poses and retook the photos. After taking more than ten photos, she only chose one nice photo for them to keep...

She totally seemed like a little girl.

After these details were exposed, many people similarly felt that Lin Che’s personality really was extremely cute.

Of course, these were all incidents that were brought up after the event.

On this Christmas Eve, Lin Che went on stage for a live broadcast for the first time. While she was performing, she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest throughout the entire ordeal.
