Lin Che immediately controlled herself, “What are you doing...”

Gu Jingze stood up and looked strangely at her, “Why? It’s just a meal out. I know a place opened by a French chef and the food is extremely authentic. Go change and I’ll take you to try it.”

“Ah... Oh, okay. I’ll go change now,” Lin Che’s face was red as she hurriedly went in.

Gu Jingze turned his head and watched her in surprise. It was suspicious.

Looking at her clumsily run in, he stood there and shook his head helplessly.

Lin Che tried on numerous outfits. Since it was a French restaurant, she had to wear something proper. Unfortunately, nothing felt right. It was either too long, too short, or too revealing.

She normally did not feel this way.

It was just that after what happened the day before, something in her heart did not feel right every time she thought about Gu Jingze. Her face would uncontrollably turn red and she would not dare look him in his eyes.

Pondering, she finally changed into plain clothes. She still looked pretty, but it was nothing fancy.

She twirled around, put on some simple makeup, and then smiled in satisfaction.

When she walked out, Gu Jingze had one hand in his pocket. He turned to look at her and paused for a while.

Dressed in retro fashion, Lin Che looked like a medieval princess; she looked luxurious and elegant.

Gu Jingze stared deeply at her, then walked over and said, “Let’s go.”

Lin Che smiled. Gu Jingze asked, “Don’t you know that you need to take my arm? This is Western dining etiquette.”

“Huh?”

Gu Jingze bent his arm to form a hook. Lin Che looked and could only place her hand on his arm.

He smiled happily and raised his head. Just as he took a step forward, the phone in his pocket rang.

He grudgingly took out his phone to see that it was Mo Huiling.

Gu Jingze frowned. He glanced at Lin Che beside him and then answered.

“What’s up, Huiling?”

Mo Huiling was crying, “My house was burgled; I’m so scared.”

“What? Burgled by who? How’s that possible?”

“The house here that I just moved into. I don’t know what the situation is like here, but I don’t have as much security as your place. Also, I’m living alone, so...” as she spoke, Mo Huiling’s voice gradually got softer as if she was so scared and compromised.

Gu Jingze took a deep breath. He had no choice as he looked over at Lin Che and then tried to soothe Mo Huiling, “Don’t cry. I’ll be right there.”

When he hung up, Lin Che had already let go of his arm, “Well... You should go take a look.”

Gu Jingze gazed at Lin Che but before he could say anything, Lin Che smiled and said, “Hurry up and go. Burglary is not a small matter.”

Gu Jingze pursed his lips and looked at her, “Alright then. I’m going over. Let the chauffeur take you to the restaurant first. I’ll join you once I’m done.”

“Hm, okay.”

Gu Jingze took one last look at her, then turned, and left.

Lin Che pouted. This Mo Huiling couldn’t have found a better timing.

Meanwhile, at Mo Huiling’s place.

She put down the phone and spun around gleefully. Looking at her perfect room, she thought for a while and then threw everything out from the cupboards. She poured wine all over and pulled out all the drawers. Branded things were strewn across the floor. She set it up so that it really looked like a burglary took place. She smiled in satisfaction.

Hmph! Lin Che, Gu Jingze is mine. He may be your husband, but when I call for him, he still has to come to me!

Gu Jingze quickly reached Mo Huiling’s house.

This place was very close to the Gu residence. It only took ten minutes to walk to her place.

Gu Jingze entered to see a crying Mo Huiling throw herself onto him.

Gu Jingze recalled the time her tears came into contact with him and immediately caused a rash. He quickly dodged her.

Mo Huiling threw herself into empty space. She looked up pitifully at Gu Jingze.

Gu Jingze said, “I didn’t take my medicine today. It’s best that you don’t touch me or I’ll have to go to the hospital immediately and won’t be able to stay here.”

Mo Huiling heard and wiped her tears. She looked understandingly at him, “Okay, I know I can’t touch you...”

Gu Jingze looked at her, “What happened?”

Mo Huiling pointed inwards, “You see this? When I got back, I discovered my house like this. I... I’m so scared.”

Gu Jingze observed the mess in the room. His eyes scanned the entire place and then fixated on Mo Huiling’s face, “You were burgled?”

“Yes yes,” Mo Huiling nodded furiously, “It must be because I just moved in. They must know that I live alone, so...”

Gu Jingze replied, “I asked you who asked you to move here? Weren’t you fine at home? Staying here alone is of course not good for you. There’s no one to look after you.”

Mo Huiling fidgeted with her hands and looked at him, “I still have you.”

“But I’m very busy. I can’t possibly come here and look after you every day.”

“But I just wanted to be closer to you... I just wanted to be able to see you often, really.”

“Just because of this, you moved here...” Gu Jingze said, “You’re acting too immature.”

“I’m willing to do anything for you.”

“But, you can’t lie because of me either,” Gu Jingze looked at Mo Huiling.

Mo Huiling was stunned, “I... I didn’t lie...”

Gu Jingze saw that she was unrelenting. He pointed towards the room and asked in a furious tone, “Look at this! Does this look like a burglary?”

Mo Huiling felt guilty by his words and looked at the room too, “How... How does it not?”

Gu Jingze walked in, “There are so many expensive necklaces and earrings, each one costing hundreds of thousands. The burglar only took them out but didn’t take them with him? Furthermore, why would the burglar flip out your entire wardrobe? All the expensive items are in the locked cupboard and your wardrobe is just filled with clothes. Why would he waste time taking them out?”

Mo Huiling was flabbergasted.

She had not thought these through and simply wanted to find a reason to let Gu Jingze know. But she was a pampered, rich girl who had never been burgled nor came across a burglar. Naturally, she did not think about these logical questions and did not set it up accurately.

Her face burned with embarrassment. She looked at Gu Jingze and hurriedly said, “I... I... Sorry, Jingze.”

Gu Jingze shook his head and thought about Lin Che who was waiting for him at the restaurant. He turned around and walked out, “Enough. Since there’s nothing, I’ll go first. I have things to do.”

“Jingze!” Mo Huiling looked up and grabbed his arm, “Don’t go. Please don’t be angry. I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please don’t leave.”

“Huiling, let go of me!” Gu Jingze got annoyed.

This Huiling was getting more and more clingy and was still so unreasonable.
