The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage novel Chapter 14

He was right, Lin Che thought. This was his house. She had no right to chase him out.

"Alright. If you put it like that, I can be the one to move out," Lin Che said sincerely.

Gu Jingze's complexion seemed to dim slightly. He stopped staring at her and fiddled with the documents in his hands. "If you do that, my family will definitely get suspicious. They'll wonder if there are problems with our relationship and they may even suspect that we're in a fake marriage. If we don't live together, they'll definitely intervene and make sure we live together. Wouldn't that be more troublesome?"

His reasoning makes sense, Lin Che thought. Naturally, she had not thought as much as he did, but if she really tried to think of other ways, she believed she was able to think of a good excuse.

"It's all because I'm afraid that your girlfriend will be angry. If you're with me all the time, she'll definitely brood over the matter. Imagine how much that will affect your relationship."

"That's enough." Gu Jingze stood up abruptly. There was something dark in his expression, one that intimidated Lin Che momentarily, leaving her momentarily speechless.

With the documents in his hand, he walked out. As he brushed past Lin Che, he said, "Just play your role as Mrs. Gu. What happens between me and other women is none of your business."

After Gu Jingze left with his things, Lin Che muttered to herself despondently, "Fine. It's all my fault for being so nosy. The goodness of a person is of no consequence to the ungrateful; since you can't understand my good will, I'll keep my hands off your matters from now on."

Soon after, Gu Jingze returned to the guest room. He put down his folder before holding onto the table in an attempt to calm himself down.

However, images of the earlier scene replayed in his mind and made him feel... irritated.

As he breathed in deeply, he heard his phone ringing. The screen indicated that it was Mo Huiling.

"Huiling, you're looking for me?"

"Yes, Jingze. Can you come over to my house for a bit? I'm alone and bored. I have something to talk to you about too."

Gu Jingze said, "Why? You have something to say to me?"

"Yes, I've wanted to say it for a long time. Come over. I want to tell you in person." Mo Huiling sounded like she had something special to say. Gu Jingze could not guess what it was.

After being with Mo Huiling for so many years, he knew that she was a little petty. She was ultimately the young lady of a rich family and had been pampered from a young age. Although she was accomplished, had good manners, and was highly educated, she had a bit of a temper. He thought that it was normal and had always given in to her. So no matter how unyieldingly or casually she spoke to him, he was able to accept it.

Gu Jingze arrived at her house in no time.

Mo Huiling lived alone. Her apartment had an air of feminine elegance that always made him feel comfortable.

When Gu Jingze entered, he saw Mo Huiling seated in the living room. She was clearly awashed in melancholy as she sat there, looking a little withered and lonely.

Gu Jingze sighed before walking toward her.

"Huiling, why did you call me here?"

Mo Huiling raised her head to look at Gu Jingze before mumbling softly, "Jingze... I know that you had no say in the marriage and that it wasn't your own decision, but I still feel a little upset."
