Lin Che immediately objected, "Since when have I insulted you?"
"You drugged me... Don't you think you're lucky that you're still able to stand here in front of me?" Gu Jingze raised his brow.
Now he felt appalled at how he fell for something so cliche.
Lin Che knew what he meant and her face blushed,
"I... We don't know who's the unlucky one yet! I was fine by myself but my freedom got stolen and I suddenly became somebody's contract wife. I still have to face you daily and tolerate your weird temper!"
Gu Jingze's face sank.
She still felt wronged.
Suddenly, he got up and took a step forward. He hovered over Lin Che's petite face and looked at her chin. He reached out to hold it and said, "Come again?"
His icy breath mixed with his cologne as he got close. Lin Che was scared. Feeling the warmth of his hand, she looked at his face which became unreadable. Looking at him stiffly, his lips were right in front of her. If she made any movement, she might just touch them. Lin Che quickly pulled his hand away, "Get off me. You're too close. It's getting hot."
Her face was hot to the touch. She could not stand it any longer. She stomped on his foot and squirmed her way out from his side. Without turning back, she ran out.
"Ouch..." Gu Jingze winced in pain.
This damned Lin Che... she really used all her energy.
Gu Jingze frowned at her back, "Well done, Lin Che. As soon as you've made use of me, you're turning your back on me?"
Lin Che pretended not to hear. She ran into her room and slammed the door shut.
She took deep breaths and patted her own chest.
That stupid gangster was provoking her again.
She had not calmed down when she could hear Gu Jingze's voice right outside.
He still had work to do but after all that ruckus with her, he could not calm down either. He followed her to the bedroom.
Lin Che refused to let that gangster in. Leaning against the door, she locked it and said, "You can sleep in the other room."
Hearing what she said, Gu Jingze replied sadly, "Why do I have to sleep in the other room?"
"It's not like you haven't done that before. Anyway, I'm dead tired and I don't want you to disturb me."
She was already getting used to it.
He replied, "This is my bedroom. I can sleep in here if I want to sleep in here. Open the door."
"No. I just offended you. Who knows what you'll do to me," Lin Che was finding excuses to not let him in.
Gu Jingze huffed, "You're offending me even more now."
"Since you're already offended, a little more won't matter."
"Fine, Lin Che. In that case, aren't you afraid of me taking revenge? Your show will never be played and the company will kill you off quietly..."
"What?" Lin Che panicked, "Gu Jingze, you're not that unreasonable. We promised not to meddle in each other's affairs after getting married."
"I have done more unreasonable things than this. Don't forget that I'm a capitalist," Gu Jingze snorted.
Lin Che mulled over it and then slowly opened the door a little bit.
