Lin Che immediately controlled herself, "What are you doing..."
Gu Jingze stood up and looked strangely at her, "Why? It's just a meal out. I know a place opened by a French chef and the food is extremely authentic. Go change and I'll take you to try it."
"Ah... Oh, okay. I'll go change now," Lin Che's face was red as she hurriedly went in.
Gu Jingze turned his head and watched her in surprise. It was suspicious.
Looking at her clumsily run in, he stood there and shook his head helplessly.
Lin Che tried on numerous outfits. Since it was a French restaurant, she had to wear something proper. Unfortunately, nothing felt right. It was either too long, too short, or too revealing.
She normally did not feel this way.
It was just that after what happened the day before, something in her heart did not feel right every time she thought about Gu Jingze. Her face would uncontrollably turn red and she would not dare look him in his eyes.
Pondering, she finally changed into plain clothes. She still looked pretty, but it was nothing fancy.
She twirled around, put on some simple makeup, and then smiled in satisfaction.
When she walked out, Gu Jingze had one hand in his pocket. He turned to look at her and paused for a while.
Dressed in retro fashion, Lin Che looked like a medieval princess; she looked luxurious and elegant.
Gu Jingze stared deeply at her, then walked over and said, "Let's go."
Lin Che smiled. Gu Jingze asked, "Don't you know that you need to take my arm? This is Western dining etiquette."
"Huh?"
Gu Jingze bent his arm to form a hook. Lin Che looked and could only place her hand on his arm.
He smiled happily and raised his head. Just as he took a step forward, the phone in his pocket rang.
He grudgingly took out his phone to see that it was Mo Huiling.
Gu Jingze frowned. He glanced at Lin Che beside him and then answered.
"What's up, Huiling?"
Mo Huiling was crying, "My house was burgled; I'm so scared."
"What? Burgled by who? How's that possible?" "The house here that I just moved into. I don't know what the situation is like here, but I don't have as much security as your place. Also, I'm living alone, so..." as she spoke, Mo Huiling's voice gradually got softer as if she was so scared and compromised.
Gu Jingze took a deep breath. He had no choice as he looked over at Lin Che and then tried to soothe Mo Huiling, "Don't cry. I'll be right there."
When he hung up, Lin Che had already let go of his arm, "Well... You should go take a look."
Gu Jingze gazed at Lin Che but before he could say anything, Lin Che smiled and said, "Hurry up and go. Burglary is not a small matter."
Gu Jingze pursed his lips and looked at her, "Alright then. I'm going over. Let the chauffeur take you to the restaurant first. I'll join you once I'm done."
"Hm, okay."
Gu Jingze took one last look at her, then turned, and left.
Lin Che pouted. This Mo Huiling couldn't have found a better timing.
Meanwhile, at Mo Huiling's place.
