Chapter 1055: The Gifts Sent Here Were Such A Surprise

In the room, Lin Che wanted to call Gu Jingze but put down her phone after pondering.

She leaned backward and read her script for a while. Outside, Dongzi suddenly said, “Madam, someone outside brought something here.”

Lin Che asked, “What did he bring?”

“The people outside just said that someone brought it here. They didn’t say who it was.” Dongzi continued, “It’s still outside. I didn’t ask them to bring it in.”

Lin Che was a little suspicious. She walked out and said, “I’ll go and take a look.”

She put on a coat and walked out, accompanied by Dongzi.

Outside, at the doorway, someone was standing there carrying a huge box.

The moment Lin Che saw him, she realized that the person was none other than Qin Qing.

Qin Qing turned his head around slowly. When his eyes met Lin Che’s eyes, he smiled slightly.

“I knew you were here...” He presented the box to her. “I came to bring you some food.”

Lin Che only regained her senses after a long time and looked at Qin Qing. “Did you especially come here to bring me something?”

Qin Qing said, “Yes. Come and see what it is.”

Lin Che shook her head. She seriously wondered what Qin Qing was doing so late at night.

She walked over to him and took a look. He opened the box, which was filled with her favorite foods: spicy duck necks, duck wings, and duck intestines.

Lin Che said in delight, “Wow. Duck necks.”

Qin Qing beamed at her. “So, do you still like eating these? I remember that these used to be your favorite.”

Lin Che shook her head vigorously. “Of course, I like eating these.”

In the past, she would even drag Qin Qing along to buy and eat these on the way home.

When she recalled those memories, those were the best days of her life in the past. Although it was tough, small pleasures could make her happy.

Qin Qing said, “Take these in and eat them.”

Lin Che received the box from him gratefully. Beside her, Dongzi quickly took it from her.

Indeed, because of this little incident, Lin Che’s mood improved greatly all of a sudden.

She looked at Qin Qing and felt that it was not polite not to invite him in since he had specially brought something here. Thus, she said to him, “Come in and take a seat.”

Qin Qing smiled and nodded. He felt very happy as he gazed at her cheerful face.

He felt as if they had returned to the past.

Although she was now the Gu family’s Madam, she was ultimately still Lin Che.

They did not go into her room. Lin Che found a place outside and invited him to sit down and rest for a bit. She had people bring them some drinks.

She looked at the duck necks. It was true that she had not eaten them for a long time. Now that she was looking at it, she had worked up an appetite and wanted to have a bite. The hungry worm in her stomach had awoken. She felt that she was about to drool after seeing it.

To begin with, she was prone to food cravings during pregnancy. If she could not eat what she wanted to, she would feel terrible. Now that she had seen this food, of course, she could no longer control herself.

She started eating mouthful after mouthful. While eating, she exclaimed, “Ah, it’s still the same taste. Is it from the stall at the school entrance?”

Qin Qing smiled and said, “Yes. Slow down a little. That stall is still open. Even though the boss passed away, his daughter took over the stall and is still operating it.”

“Really? You even especially went there to buy it. Thank you,” Lin Che said,

Qin Qing looked at her. “Do you feel better now?”

Lin Che froze and looked at him. “How did you know that I wasn’t in a good mood?”

Qin Qing drank a mouthful of something and said coolly, “Of course. If I can’t even tell that you’re in a bad mood, can I say I ever knew you? We’ve known each other for so many years. When you’re in a bad mood, your voice will be completely dejected. Of course, I could tell.”

Lin Che was genuinely touched. He was so sensitive. He even remembered this.

Lin Che thought that since he had a girlfriend who he liked now, and so many years had passed since what had happened between them, he had probably returned to being the Qin Qing she knew in the past and was no longer letting his imagination run wild.

Lin Che said, “Anyway, thank you.”

The two of them were chatting happily here but were unaware of a figure appearing behind them and passing by in a flash.

Lin Che looked up and sensed that something was amiss.

She glanced at the side. Dongzi realized something was wrong and asked Lin Che, “Madam, is something wrong?”

Lin Che merely felt that someone seemed to be nearby, but she was not sure either.

Perhaps she had been too paranoid recently.

Just as before, when she had gone to the old Gu residence, she had even specifically instructed everyone to be prepared just in case.

She was probably too cautious. She was so prone to treating everyone as an enemy because Gu Jingze was not around.

While thinking to herself, she smiled and shook her head. “It’s alright. Just tell them to be more alert to our surroundings.”

While chewing on the duck neck, she instructed them calmly.

Then, Qin Qing saw the personal guards beside her stealthily leave to patrol the place.

He gazed deeply at Lin Che and felt that she was slightly different, but perhaps her nature remained the same. That was probably why he still felt a sense of familiarity as he looked at her.

Lin Che ate for some time but did not expect to feel the urge to vomit again.

Although she felt that her pregnancy symptoms were not so serious anymore, she would still feel like vomiting if she ate food that was too greasy.

She quickly ran out with her hand over her mouth. There was no time for her to say anything before she rushed into the washroom.

Qin Qing looked at her worriedly. He thought that it was inappropriate for him to go in with her when he saw many people following her. What’s more, she had gone into the washroom.

Besides, the moment he turned around, he saw with astonishment... someone suddenly standing in front of him.

Qin Qing was stunned. His entire body jolted at the cold gaze on him.

—

Lin Che vomited inside for a long time. She took out her handkerchief and wiped her mouth. She felt terrible after vomiting. She sighed and felt that she was really going to die. Even eating a bit of duck neck made her puke.

When she went out, she felt someone hold her up.

She said coolly, “I won’t be able to enjoy the food, Qin Qing. Go ahead and eat on your own. I’m old. I can’t handle it anymore. I want to puke.”

However, that arm and that familiar faint scent that drifted towards her immediately made her perk up. She looked up instinctively in disbelief.

The man before her was dressed completely in black. Under the cover of night, he looked like the dark knight. He stood there with his body straightened and looked at Lin Che.

His pitch-black eyes had a hint of emotion so complex that one could not ascertain it. It flowed from his eyes like thick black ink spreading, so dense that it made one gasp.

She was so shocked that she nearly shouted.

“Gu Jingze.” She looked at the man in front of her in delight. She had already started smiling unknowingly. She immediately hugged him.

Gu Jingze’s body was still chilly. As he had just been blown by the night breeze, the scent of the wind lingered on his body.

After being hugged in this manner, the dark expression on Gu Jingze’s face began to lighten up. He looked down at Lin Che, frowned, and asked, “What are you doing?”

Only then did Lin Che remember Qin Qing.

She looked up and searched for him. But she did not see any trace of Qin Qing within her field of vision.

Gu Jingze scoffed. His voice was filled with dissatisfaction and jealousy. It was extremely obvious. “What are you looking for? He left a long time ago.”

What? He had left?
