Lin Che shook her head, "This... Take it as the fortune of Mrs. Gu. It's alright."
Yu Minmin smiled, "If they manage to stop my father from entering their dens, perhaps the future will be brighter. You're getting more famous and my salary is increasing. Maybe I'll be able to pay you back in full soon."
Yu Minmin raised her brow and looked at Lin Che, "However, it seems like Gu Jingze really treats you well."
Lin Che was taken aback. Gu Jingze was indeed a good man, but he was sometimes cold. Sometimes, he was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Lin Che replied, "But Gu Jingze... that guy is really hard to please. He's full of problems. I won't talk to you about it anymore; I have to go back. There's a birthday celebration in a few days."
Lin Che returned from the hotel. She stood at the gate and looked at the strict security surrounding the Gu residence. She suddenly realized that she had been under the care of Gu Jingze all this time and felt slightly embarrassed.
She was a troublesome woman. When it was time to sleep, Gu Jingze came out of the shower to see Lin Che looking embarrassingly at him.
Gu Jingze lifted his head up, "What are you staring at me for?"
Lin Che looked bashfully at Gu Jingze's face and said,
"I think... From today onwards, let's switch positions. You can sleep on the bed here while I sleep on the sofa."
Gu Jingze looked at her strangely, "Why?"
Lin Che reasoned, "Because you're so tall, it's bound to be uncomfortable for you. I'm small so sleeping here is just right for me. We should at least be taking turns; you sleep one night on the couch and then I'll sleep one night. If it's always you and we don't even know when we can divorce, it's not going to be fair to you."
Gu Jingze's eyes flashed. He smiled at Lin Che and raised an eyebrow, "So you're saying that you just can't bear to see me like this right?"
"..." This had nothing to do with that!
Lin Che said, "That's not what I meant. I'm just saying... Nevermind. If you like the sofa, you can have it."
Lin Che's heart sank. She believed that it was not because she could not bear to see him sleep on the sofa.
Why would she? It was just that she was always getting into trouble and she blamed herself for it. She simply felt bad. Lin Che glared at this ignorant Gu Jingze and turned towards the bed. However, Gu Jingze followed closely behind her and sat down on the bed with her.
Lin Che looked at him and said, "Did you change your mind?"
Gu Jingze gazed at Lin Che and suddenly said, "Actually, the bed is big enough. We can both sleep here just fine."
"What?" Lin Che thought she had misheard him.
As Gu Jingze spoke, he embraced her and they both fell on the bed.
It was a huge double bed, so it definitely had more than enough space for the two of them. But what was the meaning of them sleeping together?
Lin Che struggled as she tried to get up, "No no, Gu Jingze. We can't sleep on the same bed!"
Her waist was pulled back by him despite her efforts. She fell back into his embrace.
Gu Jingze lowered his head to look at her, "Why? What are you afraid of? Are you scared that you won't be able to control yourself?"
Lin Che's face was starting to blush, "What do you mean I can't control myself?!"
"You can't control yourself from coming on to me," Gu Jingze replied.
Lin Che glared at him, "Nonsense! How can I not control myself? Men are the ones who are wild at heart!
"Oh, if you're afraid that I can't control myself, you're thinking too much. I've been in the same room as you for so long and I've never touched you. I will definitely not lose it on a bed. You can rest assured!"
"..." Lin Che just did not want to sleep on the same bed as him.
"No, no. I really can't!" Lin Che said in a fluster.
