The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage novel Chapter 1

Love is a superstition about the right time and place. It turns out that you are here too...

- Epigraph

Lin Che got up from the bed in a daze.

Her mind was so cloudy that she did not quite feel like herself. The luxurious sheets touching her palm were not the usual ones that she had washed until they aged; the light above her head was also not the half-damaged, energy-saving lamp that she was accustomed to waking up to. Her body ached badly as if it had just been torn apart by something. When she lifted her wrist, the purplish-green marks on it were clear and obvious to the eye.

That was not a dream, right...

She covered her mouth to stop herself from making any noise and lifted the blanket. When she saw that her body was completely naked, she almost let out a scream.

Lin Che's astute eyes rolled along the bottom of her eyelids twice. She decisively removed the blanket and got out of bed. After gathering her messy clothes, she carelessly put them on and prepared to leave without looking back. Suddenly, someone grabbed the back of her neck...

"Ah... let go of me. Let go..." Lin Che struggled with her arms and legs.

The man's large hand was pulling her neck and he yanked her back to the bed with seemingly no effort.

Despite being utterly confused by the way she was handled, Lin Che could not help but be dazzled by the man when she looked up at him. Her infatuated eyes fixed on his incomparably beautiful face, unable to look away.

What a handsome man...

His brooding eyes seemed to carry an aura of innate arrogance. His face was as cold as ice and his straight nose rested high on his clear, pale face. His white, jade-like skin made Lin Che who thought she had fairly good skin envious.

She knew that she had seen her fair share of men, but in front of this specimen, those labeled as male gods were immediately eclipsed by him.

Was this the same man who had tormented her yesterday until she was half-dead in the span of half a night?

"Who sent you here? How dare you drug me? After doing something like that, you think you can still leave here unharmed?" He looked at this blanked-out woman, anger flashing deep in his eyes.

This strange woman had skin as fair as snow, a pleasantly-small face, and a pair of big, expressive eyes. Her eyelashes fluttered like a deer in headlights, but she glared at him unyieldingly.

Gu Jingze's gaze fixed on Lin Che as her eyes started to move quickly along with her head.

She was but a D-list celebrity. After going through many difficulties, she had found out today that A-list celebrity Gu Jingyu was here. Thus, she specifically bought some "condiments" that could make one lose consciousness and put them in his water, thinking that she could take advantage of him...

However, she had drugged the wrong person.

The person before her, though dizzyingly handsome, was evidently not the top celebrity Gu Jingyu.

He pulled roughly on her arm again, sending her to the ground. Embarrassingly, she even rolled over once before finding her bearings.

"You... What are you doing? Do you think I'd still be lying here if I drugged you? You must be mistaken. The person who is suffering the most right now is me."

Her butt hurt due to the fall, notwithstanding her hurt arm. Worst of all, the pain in her nether regions could not be ignored. Incensed with anger, she shouted directly, "The person I wanted to drug was someone else. It had nothing to do with you. You think you're worth drugging? Yours truly does not lay her hands on just anyone. Return me my drug money!"

Drugged the wrong person? Gu Jingze's face tensed and his brow furrowed which formed three vertical wrinkles. His jet-black pupils were like those of a crouching beast's, ones that were staring at this woman in messy clothes. Half of her snow-white shoulder was exposed and the purplish-green bruises on it were all the more prominent like plum blossoms blooming on her tender, white skin.

The images of the previous night flashed through his mind a second time. His lower abdomen suddenly heated up again and he felt the obvious arousal surging through his body.

He shifted his gaze away from her.
