She knew for a long time that since it was Gu Jingyu’s television series, there would definitely be appearances on high-quality programs like this to generate hype and publicity before the series premiered. However, Lin Che did not know that she herself would also have the chance to make an appearance. After all, discussion between the crew and the production team of the programs was still needed to decide who would be chosen when the time came.

Lin Che had been preparing for this program with a lot of excitement.

But when she left, she saw that Gu Jingze had actually come to pick her up.

He was driving the car right outside the company. Lin Che hurriedly said to Yu Minmin, “Then I’ll take my leave first, Sister Yu.”

Yu Minmin nodded her head. “Quick, go ahead.”

She glanced at the Gu family’s modest Porsche. Her eyes twitched. Contrary to what she had expected, it turned out that Lin Che was actually involved with Gu Jingze.

Previously, she could not tell what exactly was appealing about this small lass Lin Che.

But after interacting with her for a long time, she indeed felt that although Lin Che was very loud, she was in fact very interesting and very genuine as well.

Lin Che climbed into the car and looked at Gu Jingze. “Why did you come to pick me up?”

“Isn’t it normal for a husband to pick up his wife?” He looked at her and asked instead.

Instantly, Lin Che’s heart raced.

However, Gu Jingze curled the corners of his lips. “The Gu family wants us to make a trip back, so I came to pick you up.”

She just knew it...

Lin Che felt ashamed about the silly touched expression she had shown earlier. She seriously wanted to slap herself twice.

Very soon, Gu Jingze and Lin Che arrived together at the Gu residence.

Security at the entrance was still highly strict. But because she was here with Gu Jingze, they merely gave a signal before Gu Jingze drove straight through the stately bronze gates.

When they arrived inside, Lin Che did not go in together with Gu Jingze. She went in and immediately looked for Mu Wanqing.

“Mother, I’m here,” She said, smiling as she entered.

Gu Jingze followed suit thereafter.

The moment she saw Lin Che, Mu Wanqing was very happy. She tugged at her and said, “Why did you lose weight?”

Lin Che said, “Isn’t it good to be a little slimmer?”

“Of course it’s not good.” Mu Wanqing lifted her head. “Jingze, why didn’t you take good care of Lin Che?”

Startled, Gu Jingze said, “It’s her own fault for being stupid. She’s always stirring up trouble for herself; she either falls ill or meets with a mishap. What can I do?”

Mu Wanqing said, “Nonsense. You only know how to make excuses. By the way, your brother is back. He’s inside.”

Mu Wanqing said to Lin Che, “You two didn’t conduct a wedding ceremony either, so you haven’t met the brothers. Go together with Jingze.”

Lin Che did not want to be together with Gu Jingze at all. historical

Throwing a glare at Gu Jingze, she said affectionately to Mu Wanqing, “I still want to accompany Mother for a while.”

“Why would you accompany this old woman? Look. Jingze is glaring at me. It’s better for you newlywed lovebirds to spend more time together. Go ahead.”

Lin Che could only look at Gu Jingze and follow him reluctantly as he walked forwards.

Shortly after, Mu Wanqing caught up with them as well. She followed behind them to go meet Gu Jingming together.

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and lowered his head to say, “Why are you so unwilling to be around me?”

Lin Che turned her head around quickly. “How am I unwilling?”

Gu Jingze swiftly pulled Lin Che’s hand. “Then why aren’t you looking at me?”

With her hand in his grasp, Lin Che’s body stiffened completely. She looked down at her own hand and frantically tried to shrug him off. “How am I not looking at you?”

“I realized that you really... have been continuously avoiding me. Why? What did I do that you’re dissatisfied with to the extent that you must avoid me?”

“I’m definitely not avoiding you, alright?” Left with no choice, Lin Che looked at his eyes, which were watching her intently. However, she could not tell him that whenever she saw him, her mind ran wild with lewd thoughts. Thus, she could only shrug him off forcefully and walk forward swiftly.

“Hey, you...” Behind her, Gu Jingze’s brow began to furrow severely.

As Mu Wanqing watched the two of them from the back, she could not help but smile slightly.

It looked like the two of them were getting along pretty well.

They did not have that feeling of mutual respect between husband and wife. Instead, they flirted, acted unreasonably, and argued; these were precisely signs of improvement in their relationship.

Lin Che followed Gu Jingze inside.

Lin Che said, “Eh, I thought there would be many people following Mr. President here.”

Right now, Gu Jingze’s face was tight. He glared at her and said in a neutral tone, “He’s in his own home. Why would he need people following him?”

“Those bodyguards from the National Security Bureau or something.” Lin Che had seen them on television before; apparently, those people were all very fearsome.

Gu Jingze said, “They’re not even as skillful as the Gu family’s own security service. So once they enter the Gu residence, there’s basically no need for them.”

“Huh? The Gu family’s security service is that formidable?”

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che as if he was looking at an idiot. “Don’t you usually watch the news?”

“Of course I do.”

“It’s likely that no one dares to publish official reports of news about the Gu family. However, there should be quite a few unofficial reports. You’ll know once you do a search on the Internet.”

“This... I usually only read entertainment news.”

“...” Dumbfounded, Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. “You really have nothing better to do.”

“Why? This is called loving the job I take up. As an artist, of course I pay closer attention to entertainment news, hmph.”

Gu Jingze lifted the corners of his lips for no reason as he looked at her seething expression.

Lin Che questioned further, “What news is it exactly? Can’t you just tell me?”

Gu Jingze let out a sigh. “The Gu family’s entire security service was trained professionally abroad before returning. The bodyguards from the National Security Bureau cannot compare to the security service here at all. Every single one of the guards here are top-notch snipers, wrestlers, trackers, and anti-tracking personnel. Without having the best skills, there’s no way they can stand here.”

“Wow, that’s so awesome. Isn’t it very expensive then?” Lin Che was greatly interested in this topic.

Gu Jingze said nonchalantly, “It’s not that extreme either. These few close-proximity ones have a monthly salary of only three million.”

“...” Lin Che felt that she could no longer look at these burly chaps the same way again.

So they were all wealthy people.

Lin Che could not help but turn her head to take a look before again catching up with Gu Jingze.

Gu Jingze looked at her money hungry manner and said, “That’s enough. With me as your husband, you’re already the wealthiest person in the world.”

“Cheh, you narcissist.” She glared at Gu Jingze.

Gu Jingze could not help but smile.

They arrived inside soon after.

It was rare for Gu Jingming to be dressed in homewear. He sat inside looking at something and appeared to be very busy. Even here, he was spending some time to settle work matters.

“Big Brother, why were you so free to come home today?” Gu Jingze’s tone was very casual.

On the other hand, Lin Che was slightly nervous; she did not think that she would one day be able to stand in front of the President.

Furthermore, he was even her elder brother-in-law.

Gu Jingming saw Lin Che immediately and smiled before walking up to her. “This is Sister-In-Law? This is the first time we met. Forgive me for being a little busy all the time. Also, Jingze has shielded you too well, rarely bringing you home.”

It was probably because he could not be bothered to bring her home since they were not true lovers anyway.

While thinking this, Lin Che quickly smiled and shook hands with Gu Jingming.

She felt that Gu Jingming did not quite look the same as he did on television. On television, he did not really look like the other two brothers from the Gu family. But in close proximity, she could clearly see the similarities.
