How Lin Che wished she could bury herself into a hole in the ground. As she looked at him, she fiddled with her hands as she said sheepishly, "Last night..."
"To be precise, you should say this morning because it was already dawn when you came back." Holding a white, ceramic coffee mug between his fingers, he brought it to his lips and took a sip.
"..." Fine. Lin Che said lowly, "S-sorry. I was drunk.
I... I forgot what I did." Lin Che was intending to play ignorance.
Gu Jingze raised his deep eyes and looked at her. "You did nothing."
"Is that so," Lin Che blurted.
Gu Jingze's eyes flashed. "Or were you hoping that you did something?"
"No, no. It's best if I didn't do anything." Lin Che looked down in guilt.
Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes and stared at her. "It looks like you've forgotten everything?"
Lin Che said quickly, "Yes, yes. I remember nothing."
Gu Jingze came closer to her and stared at her face with his dark gaze. "You kissed me last night."
Shocked, Lin Che said frantically, "No way. That didn't happen at all. I remember clearly that I vomited before I even kissed you."
It was only after she finished speaking that she realized her words. She quickly reached her hand up to cover her own mouth.
Gu Jingze raised his eyebrows. "It looks like you didn't really forget everything."
Greatly embarrassed, Lin Che truly wanted to slap herself a few times.
With her face flushed completely red, she lowered her head and said, "Sorry, I know that I'm a married woman now, but I still behaved in that way... It's my fault. I was drunk last night, so I wasn't fully conscious. I won't do that next time."
"There's still a next time?" Gu Jingze's brow twitched.
"No more, no more. There won't be a second time, at least not during our marriage," Lin Che said frantically.
Gu Jingze glared at her before getting up leisurely. Without a second glance at her, he walked out directly.
Lin Che sat there with her hands clasped together, her face full of regret.
She had actually called Gu Jingze "Hubby", hugged him, and asked for kisses.
She would rather die. She could not blame him for being furious. She had made a deal with him to mutually stay out of each other's affairs but last night, she had instead done something so crazy in her drunken stupor. She had even dared to call him Hubby even though they were just married under a contract.
He was used to being superior. To hear someone call him Hubby must have made him fall apart inside.
Besides, even if he wanted to hear someone call him Hubby, he would only want to hear Mo Huiling doing so. There was no way he would want to hear her call him that.
In her immense frustration, Lin Che swatted her head.
When the maid saw this, she walked over quickly. "Madam, what happened to you?"
Lin Che said gloomily, "It's nothing. I just have a bit of a headache."
The maid said softly, "Madam, Sir probably didn't sleep well last night, so he's not in a good mood. Also, his complexion is very poor. Don't worry, Madam."
Lin Che raised her head. "He didn't sleep well last night? Did he suffer because of me?"
The maid said, "No, Sir took a cold shower that lasted half the night, so he didn't sleep well."
What?
Dumbfounded, Lin Che said, "Your Sir has so many weird habits. Why take a cold shower for no reason?" The maid did not know either. She could only guess as she said, "I saw Doctor Chen come over just now. It's probably because Sir recently changed his medical treatment plan to a new one."
