Gu Jingze frowned at this petite woman, "Why are you being silly? Of course, I had to toughen up while staying at a tough place. But when I got back home, I had all the food and clothes I wanted. If I continued pretending to live a hard life, what's the point of working so hard to make money?"
"Hmm... For your wife to spend," Lin Che said shamelessly.

Lin Che stuck out her tongue, "What? A man earns money for his wife to spend. That is the unquestionable truth!"
"Yes yes yes, that's the unquestionable truth," Gu Jingze looked at her speechlessly.
"Then, don't you know how to hand over your credit cards and salary?" Lin Che asked.
Gu Jingze looked at her, lowered his head, and said, "If I hand them to you, are you able to account for them?"

Lin Che thought about what everyone said. Gu Jingze's assets were equal to an entire nation's.
But she really didn't know what that meant.
Lin Che retorted, "Hmph, petty guy. Don't give it to me then. I don't care! Ah, I'm going to the toilet."
Gu Jingze looked at this petite woman and helplessly shook his head.
She was really eccentric.
After a while, Lin Che returned. She stood at the foot of the bed and looked at the decor of the room.
The furniture was simple. There were a desk, bed, simple books, tools and a dresser below.
She opened the dresser and she immediately caught the scent of mold.
There was a pile of clothes inside. She could tell that they were outdated as if they were from the 60s.
Lin Che then saw something else at the side. It was an album.
Lin Che froze and picked up the album.
"There are pictures of my Mom in here," she remarked.
Gu Jingze heard this, got up, and walked over to her.
Both of them sat down and went through the photos.
Lin Che saw a young girl with two braids. She stood in the middle and looked so fresh and pretty.
"This is my mother. She was much younger back then, but I can tell that it's her. My mother was really pretty when she was young..."
Gu Jingze looked at the photo and looked up at Lin Che, "You look like your mother."
Lin Che looked up and laughed, "I do?"
Gu Jingze nodded.
No wonder she was so pretty. He could tell that she was almost a splitting image of her mother. Her face was just slightly smaller than her mother's.
Lin Che looked at the photo. There were a few other people in it but her father was not in the photo. Her mother smiled so happily that Lin Che thought, Perhaps... she hadn't met her father at that time.
Her mother was so blissful and happy before she met her father.
The people inside were all strangers to Lin Che. She didn't recognize any of them. Lin Che flipped through a few others and most of the pictures featured these strangers.
The sky was darker now. Gu Jingze hugged Lin Che but did not rush her to sleep.
After a long time, Lin Che yawned. Gu Jingze then said, "Come on, let's sleep. We'll continue tomorrow."
Lin Che nodded and went to bed with him.
