"Why are you looking at me?" Lin Che asked. "Let's go."
Gu Jingze only smiled. His hand was still in her arms and held by her. They went to the lounge.
He lifted his hand, "I can't be here... I still feel uncomfortable..." He thought about it and felt that he looked even uglier. Nobody outside had seen him like this before.
Gu Jingze was always a proud man and he deserved to be. In front of everyone, he was always elegant and calm. But now, because of this illness...
He never liked to show weakness. Now, he felt that he was being despised. He didn't want to show Lin Che his horrendous side.
Lin Che stopped his hand, "How terrible do you feel? There is a bucket here. If you feel like puking, just puke in here and I'll clear it. Oh right, there is water here. You can rinse your mouth."
She looked down and said, "When I was young, I ate too much rubbish that I puked. My mom would do exactly this. I would lie down for a while and I became fine after that. You shouldn't eat anything for now either. Once you're completely done puking, you can eat again and you won't puke anymore."
Gu Jingze only continued staring at her. Lin Che looked up into his deep eyes and asked plainly, "Why are you staring at me?"
Gu Jingze took a deep breath, looked at her, and said, "Silly. Aren't you afraid of getting dirty? Just get the maid to come to take care of me. We have plenty of them at home anyway."
Lin Che froze, stared back at him, and said, "What's there to be afraid of... I puked on your body before."
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and could also understand how he felt. He was an especially lucky person with a perfect life, and yet he had this weird illness. Now, he revealed his weakness to other people. Of course, he wouldn't feel comfortable.
Thus, he probably really didn't want the maids to see him like this.
Gu Jingze slowly grabbed her hand.
Lin Che froze and then felt her hand placed at his heart, holding it there warmly. He slowly caressed her hand and felt his heart gradually calming down. The sky was already pitch-dark and the night was boundless. The people in the room had already retreated, leaving the two of them there to enjoy the momentary peace and quiet.
After some time, Lin Che got tired and because Gu Jingze seemed fine, she fell asleep beside him.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. He bent down and gently brushed her hair away from her forehead. He gazed at her silly cheeks and smiled slightly. When he looked outside, his bodyguard was at the door and seemed like he wanted to tell him something. The bodyguard looked inside and made a simple hand signal. Gu Jingze's eyes deepened. He gently planted a kiss on Lin Che's forehead and then walked out.
"Sir, Miss Mo is still outside..." the security guard said.
Gu Jingze frowned deeply.
When he went out, he saw Mo Huiling sitting on the sofa and even made coffee for herself. When she saw Gu Jingze come out, she quickly stood up and said, "Jingze, are you finally okay? I was so scared but I knew it was because of me. That's why I didn't go in and touch you. I could only let Lin Che..."
"Miss Mo, I remember that you said the same thing last time. Are you really scared that something would happen to President Gu or are you scared of taking the responsibility, so you pushed all of it entirely to Lin Che?" Just then, Chen Yucheng suddenly spoke as he leaned against his seat casually.
Gu Jingze turned back and looked at him deeply, "Last time?"
Mo Huiling's eyes sank. She stared daggers at Chen Yucheng and quickly asked, "What nonsense is he talking about? He's just a doctor. What right does he have to be here when I'm talking with you?"
Gu Jingze's face stiffened. He looked at Mo Huiling and suddenly felt a kind of disgust towards her. Although he could understand that she was a rich man's pampered daughter and couldn't take on too many things, the feelings of disgust were unstoppable and they spread throughout his heart.
"Enough, Huiling. Stop making a nuisance. No matter who you want to be with or who you want to marry, I won't bother about you anymore. It's getting late. You should go home."
