Gu Jingze looked down and released Lin Che. His anger towards her had yet to completely dissipate. He said, "Alright. Now, you can get lost."
What? He was telling her to get lost now that he was done kissing her?
Lin Che glared at Gu Jingze. "Gu Jingze, stop messing around. You're seriously injured right now. I came here so that I can stay here and look after you."
Gu Jingze said coldly, "No need. I have plenty of maids here looking after me. Since you hate me so much, I don't want to continue holding up your time either."
Lin Che wondered who exactly hated who. "Gu Jingze, let me get this straight. You were clearly the one who treated me so roughly first. Why did that result in you hating you?!"
Gu Jingze sneered and looked at Lin Che. "I treated you roughly? You were the one who rejected me first. Of course, you probably wouldn't have been so opposed to it if it had been Jingyu. Sorry. From the start, the person you wanted to drug and marry was Gu Jingyu.
It was I who shouldn't have stayed in that room." "Hey, Gu Jingze. Why did you mention Gu Jingyu again out of nowhere? He's just a senior in the industry. Our relationship is totally not what you think it is." Lin Che was about to spring to her feet.
Gu Jingze asked, "What kind of relationship am I thinking about? Yes, it's just a relationship where you give one another love token. Why? You gave him a wrist-watch. What did he give you in return? A necklace? A ring? But I'll give you a piece of advice. Nothing will come of the two of you anyway. His last relationship ended because of my mother's interference. Do you think that my mother will be able to tolerate a person who was once my wife have a relationship with Jingyu instead?"
Lin Che froze. When did he find out about the watch?
She looked at Gu Jingze in disbelief. "What nonsense are you spouting? Gu Jingyu asked me for the watch.
He said that I should thank him for his care towards me. I also thought that I should gift him a little something since he's usually very caring towards me and is always helping me improve my acting skills. So, I just asked Yu Minmin to casually buy something for him."
The creases between Gu Jingze's eyebrows seemed to smooth out a little but he still looked as if he had not completely relaxed.
Yu Minmin bought the watch?
It was just a casual gift of thanks?
Lin Che said, "How could you think that there's something between us just because of a present? I... There's no way I would do that. I told Gu Jingyu from the start that I'm already married. He knows it too. We're just friends."
Gu Jingze's eyes twitched. In reality, this was also nearly the same as what he was thinking. He had known a long time ago that a present did not mean anything but at the time, he had not been able to control his own thoughts.
He simply did not want to see her have relations with any man.
Even if it was his younger brother.
This was despite the fact that he knew that he was being a little overbearing given their initial agreement that he would not interfere with her personal life. He also clearly knew that logically, he should not interfere with her work and social relations. Even if they were a real couple, they should still give each other freedom and personal space to make friends.
However, Gu Jingze actually wanted to go against their mutual agreement because of her.
Now that he had heard Lin Che say that the present was merely chosen by Yu Minmin, he unexpectedly seemed to feel much more at ease all of a sudden. Like a warm day after a period of chill, his face also followed and actually softened a little.
Gu Jingze said, "Even if you're just friends... don't you feel that giving him a watch is slightly too suggestive?" Lin Che said, "Then what should I have given him?"
"Forget it. With your level of intelligence, you wouldn't have been able to think of such things anyway. The next time you need to get a gift, you can let me know and I'll get someone to help you choose it. Wouldn't that do?"
"Then that's no different from you giving the present," Lin Che said even more incredulously.
