At the back of the crowd, Xue Mengqi smiled and walked towards him. She was already holding a cup of ginseng soup in her hands. The ginseng soup was in a small and white porcelain goblet and a bit of steam was rising from it. She looked extremely delightful.
The clan relatives immediately started praising her, "Good gracious, look. Mengqi has already thought of it. We dont even need reminders from the servants. Hasnt everything been prepared? Come here."
Gu Xiande looked at Xue Mengqi with his eyes narrowed.
Xue Mengqi said, "Grandfather, I havent been back for a long time. I managed to get here in time while your health is poor. Ill accompany you more when youre better in the future."
Gu Xiande glanced at her and said to the people beside him, "This is Mengqi?"
"Yes, yes. Shes the Mengqi we often mention to you,"
the clan relatives said excitedly.
Of course, Gu Xiande knew what they meant by this. They had mentioned this Xue Mengqi not just once or twice. The fact that they had repeatedly mentioned her meant that the clansmen had already collectively nominated this Xue Mengqi to be their mistress.
However, they needed the support of Gu Xiande, a prominent elder of the family.
Gu Xiande knew that Lin Che was indeed not cut out to be the mistress. He did not want her to be the mistress either.
As for the Xue Mengqi in front of him, he still had to observe her. He could not approve or disapprove of her so soon either.
By the time Gu Jingze arrived, everyone had quietened down as well.
As Gu Xiande had escaped the jaws of death again this time, the atmosphere in the Gu residence finally became much more relaxed over the next few days.
Gu Jingze wanted to return home early every day. Because Lin Che was pregnant, he wanted to stay by Lin Ches side a little more often.
However, there were times when going on business trips was unavoidable.
He had to go out and settle matters but he did not want to go as it was too far. How could Lin Che agree to it? She definitely did not want to become a burden to him.
She said, "If you dont want to go, I can go with you too."
But Gu Jingze was not agreeable. "Its too far. Youll have such a hard time taking the plane. It wont do if something happens while youre there."
Lin Che said, "In that case, go on your own first. I wont go out and loiter about for the next few days too. I can make use of the time to discuss with the company our plans to film a short comedy. Weve already chosen the novel and all the other components are going to be set in motion. Im very busy too. Even if youre at home, you wont be able to accompany me much."
There was nothing Gu Jingze could do but kiss her forehead. "Alright then. Bring a few more people with you when you go out."
"Im fine."
"I know, but I worry"
Even though he knew that nothing would happen to her since there were people with her to help her out if there was any danger, no matter how well-prepared they were, he was still worried. What could he do?
Lin Ches heart softened at his words. She pressed a short kiss to his lips.
They had not behaved so intimately in front of the maids for a long time. For a moment, she felt a little embarrassed.
Although the maids had gotten used to it a long time ago, she herself still blushed.
Gu Jingze smiled. He patted her on the head before leaving.
Lin Che was just about to head to the company when she received a call from Mu Feiran beforehand.
"Lin Che, youre not busy, right?"
"No. Whats up, Feiran?" Lin Che asked while walking.
