Gu Jingze said, "There's no need to be so polite with me."
Lin Che replied, "Of course. With me as your wife, you probably have to tolerate a lot. If someone else was your wife, you wouldn't have to give in so much."
That 'someone' she was referring to was naturally Mo Huiling.
Lin Che thought that she did have a lot of things going on. Her work and life were ridden with trouble.
Maybe when Mo Huiling was with him for over a decade, there wasn't too much trouble.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and his eyes moved. He looked far into the distance while deep in thought and said, "Now that you mention it, you do have a lot of problems."
Lin Che's heart sank as she looked at Gu Jingze.
Gu Jingze laughed, "But since I married you, I have to accept it."
Lin Che glared hard at him.
"You really don't know how to make a girl happy. How can you be so honest at a time like this? Now that you made me think, you're lucky you married me. If it was another woman, she definitely would be angered to death by you. At least we had an agreement beforehand, so I can get along with you peacefully. If it was someone else, nobody can endure a blockhead like you. Hmph."
Gu Jingze said, "Since you asked me, of course, I had to answer you seriously. What should I be saying otherwise?"
"Of course, it is according to what I meant. Girls need to be coddled, do you understand? That's why I said that marrying you is also my suffering. At least other married couples have a honeymoon period but I don't have anything at all. And I still need to tolerate your bad temper. Tell me, am I suffering?"
"Yes, you're suffering. A good girl like you deserves a better marriage," Gu Jingze thought that it was indeed tough on her to marry him. There was no ceremony, no honeymoon stage, and no honeymoon vacation.
A good girl her age should have a lovely relationship and the sweetness that comes from a marriage out of love. However, she didn't have any of those.
Lin Che looked at him in surprise, "Ah, you know how to talk nicely now?"
Gu Jingze replied, "Yes, I'm learning as I go."
"..." She just knew his mouth wouldn't kick its bad habit.
But as Lin Che gazed at Gu Jingze, she felt that she actually didn't deserve him.
Being able to get to know him and get along with him like this probably used up all the luck in her life.
She had no status. She was nobody and she always got into trouble. She was not gentle or virtuous enough. He deserved a better woman, but she was selfish and liked being carefree. She would never change to become a better woman for him.
Lin Che glared at him and then looked up at him, "So can I really go for the audition?"
"Of course you can. Whatever I said just now were casual words. I won't interfere in your career."
Lin Che laughed, "I still have to thank you. You actually have the right to interfere. We agreed on this.
I will play the role of Mrs. Gu well. If I'm not good to you, you must tell me. I don't know a lot after all."
"Silly, this doesn't really affect me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done it for so many years," Gu Jingze said. "If you can't be carefree and do the things you want to do as my wife, then I failed as a husband."
"But Miss Mo probably never had this much trouble... I just thought... that maybe I'm being too selfish," Lin Che bit her lips and looked down at her fingers. She felt guilty.
Gu Jingze took a deep breath and looked at her, "Huiling indeed never was this troublesome."
