The Lin Household.
Lin Li watched the replay of the telecast of the segment when Lin Che went on stage to accept her reward. She was so angry that her face got green.
The spotlight followed her as she walked down the stage. She was surrounded by people congratulating her and reporters going up to her to interview her. She radiated with pride.
Lin Li huffed angrily and swiped the cup in her hand.
"Lin Che actually got an award!"
Han Caiying watched as she tried to comfort Lin Li, "It's fine. Now that she has Gu Jingze behind her, of course, things will be different. Wait until you marry into the Qin family. It'll be the same for you."
Lin Li gritted her teeth and tried to believe that was true. However, between the Qin family and the Gu family, there was some difference. The more she thought about it, the angrier she got.
Meanwhile...
Gu Jingze took Lin Che to a restaurant. Lin Che exclaimed, "Wow! This looks like an expensive place. Do you seriously want me to treat you?" Gu Jingze looked at her, "You won an award today, so shouldn't you be treating me?"
Lin Che pouted, "But I didn't think you would pick such an expensive place."
This was a Chinese restaurant, but anyone who saw the outside would have assumed that this was a high-end restaurant.
The entrance was beautifully decorated and there were few people inside. It seemed like they all had private rooms. Each room had a name beautifully calligraphed on the door. The staff saw the two of them enter and quickly bowed their heads to greet them politely. They smiled so naturally and their makeup was pleasant. The staff must have undergone extremely strict training.
"Mr. Gu, would you like your usual room? We always keep it reserved for you."
"Okay."
Gu Jingze brought Lin Che in. As they walked, he said, "The food here is very good. Once you try it, you'll know. And they do such a clean job so it's very homely."
Lin Che retorted, "If you want to eat homecooked food so bad, why are we at such an expensive place? We should go home so I can cook for you."
Gu Jingze looked at her scornfully, "If I let a klutz like you cook for me, I'll end up eating slag."
"No way... The last time was an accident." Gu Jingze refused to believe her. Furthermore, he specially brought her here but she was not even appreciative of this. What an ignorant woman.
"I come here a lot. The food is fantastic. You'll know once you try it."
He truly wanted to get her approval. In his heart, he wanted her to like the things that he did.
From the start, he thought of the good food at this place and for some reason, he wanted to share it with her. However, she still complained that it was expensive.
Lin Che followed him in and they sat down. She could see the lake right outside. This must have been the best spot out of the whole restaurant.
Gu Jingze was responsible for ordering the dishes since he was familiar with this place. He would certainly know which dishes were good.
He ordered a table's worth of food. Lin Che could feel her pockets crying and her heart bleeding.
It felt so expensive.
After a while, the food arrived.
Lin Che looked at the food. They looked so appetizing and delicious.
"Try it," Gu Jingze was like a noble Persian cat that ate with such graceful and slow movements.
Lin Che did not care about table manners. She took and ate whatever was good. They were indeed delicious.
She started taking big bites and gulping down her drink. She happily ate.
Gu Jingze said quietly, "Eat slower."
Lin Che replied, "It tastes better with bigger bites."
