Chapter 948 - Bullying Her While Gu Jingze Was Not Around

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Lin Che arrived home, Gu Jingze said, “The new year is coming. We’ll probably be very busy during this time. We’ll also have to attend events when the time comes. Remember to rest up well over the next few days.”

Lin Che said, “Hn. I’ll just look through these scripts. I want to see if there are any scripts we can film.”

Gu Jingze said, “I’ll help you take a look.”

He took the scripts from her and perused them.

Lin Che snatched them back. “Forget it. You don’t understand such things.”

“...” Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. “Are you starting to look down on me?”

Lin Che asked, “What’s the matter? You must admit that you’re not omnipotent too. You don’t understand acting, so you won’t understand scripts either.”

Gu Jingze glared at her and said, “Fine. You’re becoming more and more impressive, so you’re looking down on me more and more, right?”

“Mmhm. In the future, I’ll be a boss too. I’ll be the director of a company too. We’ll be at the same level. You won’t be of a higher class than I am either.”

“...” Gu Jingze asked, “In that case, what can I do to solidify my position in your heart?”

“Hmph. Wait upon me every day. If you serve me tea and water whenever I need it, I can consider letting you keep your place.”

“Hn. It seems like I have to practice a few more new positions so that you will find it more fresh and novel.”

“...”

Gu Jingze hugged her and pulled her body closer towards him. Then, he sat facing her and looked at her face before asking, “Am I right?”

“Get lost!”

The two of them were smiling when a maid suddenly barged in. When she saw them sitting together so intimately, she immediately blushed and ran out.

Gu Jingze frowned. “The maids have been really unruly recently.”

Lin Che said in an even tone, “Give them a chance to learn.”

Gu Jingze said, “I still have to leave C Nation for M Nation in a few days. I have something to discuss with the President over there.”

“Hn. Don’t worry. I can look after myself over here.”

“Sure. Anyway, I’ve already told Lu Beichen to look after you while I’m not around.”

“...” Lin Che looked at him in disbelief. “Why did you tell him that?”

“At the very least, he’s your brother. He’s better than an outsider.”

Lin Che seriously...

Gu Jingze left the next day.

Lin Che stayed here with Niannian. She did not know what Niannian had been busy with for the past few days. He left early in the morning and came back late at night. He ignored her completely too; it seemed that he got ready for bed the moment he returned.

Lin Che thought about it. Before this, she had suspected Black Hawk’s identity and now, it had basically been confirmed that he was her brother. That meant that Yunyun was basically confirmed to have blood relations with Niannian.

She wondered when Yunyun’s identity would be revealed as well. When the time came, she hoped that Niannian could understand what was going on and not be too upset about it.

Meanwhile, outside, after Gu Jingze left, the maids needed to look after Lin Che only.

Lin Che read the scripts too late into the night and only woke up past ten o’clock.

By the time she came out, Niannian had already left a long time ago. She only started eating breakfast when the chef was done preparing food for her.

As she sat at the dining table, she still felt a little lonely when she saw that no one was around. It was really boring for her to eat alone.

Lin Che asked, “When did Gu Jingze leave?”

The maid replied, “Sir left at six o’clock in the morning.”

“So early...”

She muttered and continued eating her dough fritters.

The maid cleared the table after breakfast and thereafter said to the others, “Madam wasn’t even embarrassed saying it was so early. Sir woke up so early and she didn’t even know. I don’t know what kind of wife she is either.”

“It’s because Sir spoils her way too much, so she forgot how a wife should behave.”

“I’ll see how she continues assuming great airs while Sir isn’t around these few days.”

After the maids left, it was as if nothing had happened at all.

Lin Che got hungry in the middle of the night.

She came out to look for something to eat. When she saw a maid, she stopped her and asked, “Is there still anyone in the kitchen? I’m so hungry. I want to eat something.”

“Ah, Madam. There’s no one in the kitchen already.”

“Is that so... alright.”

When Gu Jingze had been around before this, it seemed that there were always people in the kitchen.

Could it be that all of the kitchen staff had gotten off work early because they knew that Gu Jingze was no around?

The maid asked, “Madam, why don’t I call the chef back? The chef should still be around anyway but he may be resting already. I’ll just wake him up.”

Lin Che said, “No need. That’s too troublesome. I’ll just cook myself some instant noodles.”

She turned to look at the maid who said nothing and left.

She remembered that this maid was probably a new addition.

For some reason, she felt as if the maid’s words had another layer of meaning, but she did not say anything either and went off first to cook herself a bowl of noodles.

The next day, Lin Che had to go attend an event. She was looking for clothes at home but could not find anything suitable at all.

While sitting there and looking through her clothes, she called for the maids to bring her clothes. However, they always took a little too long to bring them to her.

Lin Che wanted to criticize these maids for behaving way too badly. But as she was too busy, she could only leave first while wearing a tight expression. She did not say anything.

Seeing this, the maids laughed up their sleeves amongst themselves.

“Look. Without Sir, Madam is just a weakling.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Precisely. Doesn’t she know that as well? Who does she think she is? She’s only in this position because Sir dotes on her. I heard that Sir even had another girlfriend before her. She pushed that woman away and became his wife.”

“Yes, yes. I’ve truly never seen such a lazy person. She needs Sir to wait upon her every day. Furthermore, Sir treats her way too well and abides by all her wishes. He dotes on her so much too. Our Sir is a prominent figure. And his looks...”

“Exactly. I see Sir being so intimate with her every day. I even wonder if she cast some spell on Sir.”

The moment everyone recalled how Gu Jingze had been so intimate with her, they could not help but blush.

“Yes. Sir is such a prudent person but at home, he doesn’t care where he is and gets intimate with her as he wishes. Don’t you find it strange?”

They walked about like conjoined twins. All of the maids had seen the two of them being extremely intimate.

Lin Che returned at night. There was still nothing to eat at home as she had returned too late.

Thus, she made herself some instant noodles and did not ask the maids again.

However, she did not expect Gu Jingze to return at this moment.

The moment he entered, he caught a whiff of a familiar aroma.

As expected, he walked in to see Lin Che eating something.

“Hey, Gu Jingze. Why are home so late?” Lin Che quickly jumped off her chair, asking while looking at him.

Gu Jingze said, “I came back as soon as I was done settling matters. Why are you eating noodles alone? Did you want to eat instant noodles again? Although it tastes good, eating too much isn’t good for your health. Don’t eat it so often, you heard me?” He looked at her reproachfully.

Lin Che said, “It’s alright. I only ate a bit.”

“There are chefs on the night shift. Ask them to make you something to eat. You can eat whatever you want.”

“It’s so late. Why would I still trouble the chef?”

“Enough. Every profession has its responsibilities. Weren’t you the one who said that? They’re chefs. They’re supposed to be on the night shift. This is what they should do.”
