The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage novel Chapter 5

"What. I was telling the truth. And anyway, you criticized me first." Lin Che's crescent eyes glared at him.

"Alright, I'm sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have said it," Gu Jingze said while pulling at his clothes.

Lin Che nodded. "I accept your apology. I won't touch you again anyway, so I won't mention your skills anymore."

Gu Jingze's face darkened even more.

Resisting the urge to throw another tantrum, he said, "While we're living together, we may have to share a bedroom like a typical married couple so that word doesn't get out. If my family hears about it, we'll be in trouble. I'll respect your freedom. You can make friends and you can have your privacy. I won't ask about it as long as it doesn't compromise my reputation."

"Don't worry. I have my professional ethics. Since I'm married to you, I won't casually get involved in scandals with other men. We'll be divorcing soon anyway; I can tolerate this for at least these few years."

"Okay. It's a deal."

Deal. Of course, although they were married, in reality, they were no different from two strangers who had gotten a marriage certificate.

As if he had completed some mission, Gu Jingze did not look at his new bride again. Instead, he turned his head and gestured to the people following behind him outside.

Lin Che followed Gu Jingze through the downtown area and into a compound.

There was a three-story villa in the courtyard. The person inside smiled at Lin Che as she came out of the car. His hands were folded and his head was bowed as he said respectfully, "Madam, you can call me Butler Hu."

"Oh." Dazed, Lin Che looked inside. The courtyard was wide and spacious with a long and straight road leading in. A lush-green field stretched into the distance. This place was so big that she could not see where it ended.

Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che. "You'll be staying here with me from now on."

"Oh, you'll be staying here too?"

"Of course. Are you prepared to live separately already when we just got married?"

"No, I'm just confirming," Lin Che raised her head and spoke.

Looking at her, Gu Jingze said, "My parents don't usually come over. You can command the servants as you wish. If you don't like the interior design, feel free to tell Butler Hu. You can change whatever you want as long as you don't touch my bedroom and study room."

How rude that would be. Lin Che blurted, "No, I'm not dissatisfied with anything. It would be too troublesome to renovate."

Gu Jingze stopped in his tracks and looked at her with a distant gaze. The way he casually leaned against a corner of the table was very elegant.

Maybe people with good looks looked good doing anything.

Gu Jingze's hand rested on the table. His slender fingers held his wallet. Their bone structure was distinct and beautiful and those hands were definitely suited to play the piano.

"Butler Hu will take you around the house," he said. "I hope you get used to your surroundings soon."

Butler Hu swiftly took her on a tour around the house.

There was an alarmingly large number of rooms. The maids' quarters were outside, the kitchen was in the back, the living room was in the front, and the bedroom was upstairs. She felt that she would definitely lose her way if she went around alone.

Although the Lin family was a fairly respectable family, the Lin residence was obviously drastically different from this place.

She turned around to look at Butler Hu. "This is Gu Jingze's house?" "Yes, Madam. From now on, it is also your house."

Lin Che looked around. "Gu Jingze seems to be pretty wealthy."
