"What?" Mo Huiling did not expect Lin Che to even dare to retort.
Lin Che said, "That's right. I did come out to walk the streets with him and to walk home together. That's because in my eyes, he's not a man who's in danger. He's a man who has the right to enjoy life and has the right to be an ordinary person. He's my husband and the two of us share the same bed. Given our status and relationship, there's no issue as to whether we can or cannot do something. He helped me carry things and accompanied me on a stroll because we're a married couple!"
"You..."
"Indeed, I don't understand the danger that you're talking about. Because in my eyes, he was never an important person. He's my husband!"
Mo Huiling's face turned purple with rage at Lin Che's words.
Lin Che merely snickered. "So no matter how low I am in your eyes, I'm Gu Jingze's wife. Great Miss Mo, I don't need you to criticize my life with Gu Jingze."
When she was finished, Lin Che turned around immediately and left. Lin Che only let out a breath when she came outside. She stood by the entrance and looked at the sky that was dyed thoroughly neon.
She was also very worried about becoming a burden to Gu Jingze. Because the gap in their lifestyles was so large, there were many things that she did not understand and many things that she was confused about.
She closed her eyes and sighed before striding forward.
However, when Gu Jingze returned from outside, he realized that only Mo Huiling was left in the cafe.
Upon seeing Gu Jingze return, Mo Huiling cried and sprawled onto the table.
Gu Jingze froze before walking over to ask, "What happened, Huiling?"
Mo Huiling raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears. "Jingze, I really don't want you to live together with Lin Che anymore!"
Gu Jingze frowned as he looked at her. "What happened?"
Mo Huiling looked at him miserably and pitifully. "Do you know what Lin Che did to me just now?!"
Gu Jingze brow twitched. "What did she do?"
"She told me that it was you and her who are husband and wife. Whatever she does is always right and whatever I do is always wrong. She and you have an equal relationship. I... then what am I? Jingze, am I the third party? But clearly, you and I are a pair. Why did she say this to me? Why did she hurt me like this?"
Gu Jingze lowered his eyes to look at her. "Did she really say that?"
"Yes." Mo Huiling said, "If you don't believe it, you can go and ask her if she said that the two of you are the married couple. When you were here, she did not even say a word. The moment you left, she immediately started saying things like this to me. What exactly does she mean?!"
"That's enough, Huiling. I think you misunderstood what she said," Gu Jingze said.
"That's impossible!" Mo Huiling said, "I'm not a fool either. I heard what she said clearly word for word. Why, Jingze? Could it be that you don't believe me?"
Gu Jingze sighed. He sat down and looked at her. "No. I just feel that she's not that kind of person. You probably misunderstood her; that's why you misconstrued her words. Alright, Huiling. Don't cry anymore."
However, Mo Huiling bit her lips and felt even more upset.
Gu Jingze said, "Let's go. I'll get someone to take you home."
"You're not coming with me?" Mo Huiling said dolefully as she lifted her small face.
Gu Jingze did not see Lin Che. He was anxious to find out where Lin Che had gone and what exactly had happened. He was vaguely worried that she was angry so after pondering for a bit, he still said to Mo Huiling, "I'll look for you tomorrow again. Right now, I still have an urgent matter to attend to."
Mo Huiling recalled that he had gone out in a hurry earlier to answer a call. She thought that he probably did have an urgent matter.
She thought to herself that she was definitely not like Lin Che who was not considerate of his busy schedule. She merely hooked her arm through his. She was careful not to touch his body so as to prevent him from breaking out in a rash. However, she also longed to feel his body heat. She looked at his perfectly handsome looks and said softly to him, "In that case, go ahead and attend to your matters. Don't tire yourself out too much. I won't be able to bear it. I know that you're busy so I won't disturb you."
Gu Jingze drew in a deep breath and said to her, "Go home."
"Hm. Remember to look for me tomorrow once you're free. I'll be waiting for you."
"Alright," Gu Jingze agreed earnestly.
After Mo Huiling left, Gu Jingze asked where the Madam had gone. In no time, his subordinates brought him along and together, they found Lin Che who was strolling alone by the side of the road in the direction of their home.
Gu Jingze caught up with Lin Che and said, "Why did you leave on your own?" Lin Che thought that he would have to console Mo Huiling for quite a while. Seeing that he had come over so soon, she said perplexedly, "Why didn't you properly accompany Miss Mo and chat with her?"
