“I know I know. I’ll talk to you later. Situ Qiong is here.”
“What? Situ also went?”
Lin Che immediately hung up.
She looked at Situ Qiong who was approaching.
He smiled at Lin Che. “Why, is Miss Lin free to walk and have a chat with me?”
Lin Che replied, “Why not?”
“Well, aren’t you the top socialite now? Your appointments must be already filled all the way until the next month. I was just worried about taking up your time by coming here unannounced.”
“What are you talking about?”
Situ Qiong looked at her. “I’m not joking! After today, didn’t anyone try to get close to you and pull you into some circle or something?”
Lin Che asked in puzzlement, “What circle?”
Situ Qiong replied, “These rich playboys have social circles. There are swimming clubs, cruising clubs, racing clubs… Actually, these are all just networking clubs. Everybody comes together for a little party and expands their social circle.”
“Really? I’ve never heard Gu Jingze talk about joining all these.”
“Like Mr. President, he has his own private gatherings but they are only for the few close friends. Nobody else can dream of being included. However, Gu Jingze is rather special. He became known for not joining any of such gatherings and that is why you don’t know about it.”
Lin Che said, “But I’ve never met anyone.”
“In the first place, you are Mrs. Gu and everybody doesn’t dare to pull Gu Jingze into any gathering. They might be trying to rope you in right now, but are probably being blocked by Gu Jingze. That is why nobody has invited you. But now, you’re famous in this circle. You just defeated Lu Chuxia, won the top socialite status, and many guys are fawning over you. Therefore, there will definitely be no lack of people wanting to get to know you.”
“But I really haven’t met anyone.”
Situ Qiong looked at Lin Che. “Maybe Gu Jingze is protecting you too well, so they don’t dare to approach you.”
Lin Che looked up. “Is that so?”
Actually, Lin Che had a heck-care attitude towards many of Gu Jingze’s matters because she wouldn’t understand it either. Thus, she didn’t ask him either and this resulted in her not knowing much about his protection.
Situ Qiong said, “Speaking of that, we’ve never fenced each other despite all the time we spent.”
“Yes… You’ve always had others torture me.” When she was learning, Situ Qiong always found others to be her partner while he stood at the side and scolded her annoyingly.
Situ Qiong asked, “Do you want to fence with me?”
Lin Che looked inside. Gu Jingze would probably take a while and the maids were still packing up.
Lin Che nodded graciously. “Alright, let’s try.”
In the fencing room.
Lin Che and Situ Qiong changed into their suits and picked up their swords. Lin Che called out, “Begin!” The two of them started fencing without a referee.
Actually, Lin Che was a rather fast learner and she seemed rather talented when it came to this aspect. Thus, she looked and moved like the part now.
However, Situ Qiong defeated her easily within moments.
She could not retaliate at all.
Lin Che stopped helplessly and called out to him, “Forget it. You’re not competing with me at all. You’re just out to torture me. Seriously, you didn’t even take pity on me. I don’t want to fight anymore.”
Situ Qiong laughed and sat down as he looked at Lin Che, “Have some sportsmanship. If I’m always giving in to you, then I’ll only be looking down on you.”
Lin Che looked at Situ Qiong. He looked much more handsome in the fencing suit than he did usually. When he fenced, his movements were smooth fluid. It was as if the sword was already a part of his body and he looked especially good.
Lin Che admired him a lot. She looked at Situ Qiong and said, “You are really good at fencing.”
Situ Qiong replied, “Of course, how else could I be the top socialite’s master?”
“Idiot. You’re mocking me again.”
Situ Qiong looked at Lin Che’s smile and paused. He noticed that her leg was still bandaged.
