Especially when he recalled Gu Jingyu's watch. He recalled the day when he saw that wrist-watch on her dresser. He had actually flattered himself in thinking that it was a gift for him.
Gu Jingze did not speak a word. But it was clear that the veins in his face were throbbing. It made one momentarily feel that his facial expression was extremely terrifying.
Lin Che looked at him angrily. "Gu Jingze, say something. Where exactly are you taking me?"
The lift continued to move downwards. Then, the elevator dinged and its doors opened.
Gu Jingze remained silent but the expression on his face seemed to get more and more stiff. He continued dragging Lin Che forward like this.
This was the hotel's presidential suite. The elevator was inside and it led directly into the suite when it traveled downwards.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze in surprise. "Why did you bring me here? Gu Jingze, say something."
Gu Jingze turned his head around to stare at Lin Che's face. His dark eyes were like a densely-clouded sky that weighed heavily downwards. They were like the silence before a brewing storm with the smell of a raging tempest.
"How far has your relationship with Gu Jingyu progressed?" He stared at her and asked.
Lin Che looked at him in surprise. "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Was she crazy? Why did she need to progress her relationship with Gu Jingyu?
It was completely impossible. Gu Jingyu knew from the start that she had already married. Right now, they were just friends.
Gu Jingze laughed grimly. "Nonsense? I'm asking you again. How far have you progressed with Gu Jingyu?!"
While his voice was not loud, it was vaguely laced with burning anger. Each word was like a needle that pierced straight into her.
Under his glare and his seemingly interrogating expression, Lin Che felt very distressed.
"How far have I progressed with Gu Jingyu? What does that have to do with you?!" Lin Che responded fiercely. She was so angry that she stood up and skirted around Gu Jingze in an attempt to leave.
Gu Jingze twisted his body and grabbed Lin Che's wrist in one swift motion. He then dragged her back again.
"What you said just now... try saying it again!" Gu Jingze said. Lin Che shook Gu Jingze's hand off forcefully. "I'll leave you alone and you should leave me alone too. If we're in a contractual marriage, this should just be a contractual marriage. Don't go so far as to forget who you are!"
"You..." He was forgetting who he was?
Gu Jingze was boiling with so much rage that his face even began to contort.
To him, she was the one who had forgotten who she was and who he was.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. She recalled the sarcastic remarks she had received from Lu Chuxia and also felt aggrieved for herself. When she had gotten involved with him, she had not known either that he was the great Gu Jingze, someone whom she could not afford to offend. She lived according to her own way and just wanted everyone to be a little happier. However, to the Gu family, she lacked manners and was uncultured. To him, she was but a fool who knew nothing.
She was very sad inside and she really wanted to become a highly cultured and proper young lady too. But would she still be that?
Suddenly, Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che and pushed her directly onto the sofa inside.
"Lin Che! You better be aware of what you're saying!" Even Gu Jingze's eyes were flaming and his gaze was red-hot as he looked at Lin Che lying on the sofa.
Biting her lip, Lin Che gazed at Gu Jingze. "Of course I know it well. Our marriage is just a contractual marriage. If we get along, then we'll continue. If we don't, then we'll get a divorce. I don't want to bother with you. You should do the same too. I don't care about what goes on with you and Lu Chuxia, so don't you come and interfere with whatever relationship I have with someone else either! Gu Jingze, don't tell me that you've fallen too deep in the act!"
"You..." Gu Jingze's expression darkened by several degrees.
He glared piercingly at Lin Che's proud, stubborn face.
He had spoiled her too much only to allow her to become so brazen now. She was now riding roughshod over him, right?
