The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage novel Chapter 168

Gu Jingze looked at his hand for some time. To be honest, he had not expected himself to actually hit her.

It was just that the extreme fury in his heart earlier had been like a ball of fire burning inside. It made his entire body get angry as well.

Thus, he involuntarily slapped her without hesitation.

Gu Jingze stood there unmoving and looked at her.

Mo Huiling bit down on her lips as she glared at Gu Jingze, "Gu Jingze, I've been with you for so many years. How dare you hit me because of another woman?! In the past, you could not bear to see me suffer even a bit of pain. Your heart would ache when I bumped into something even slightly. And now, you actually hit me..."

When Mo Huiling finished speaking, she directly barged in between the two of them and ran out while crying.

Lin Che turned her head back again after she saw Mo Huiling leave. Gu Jingze was standing there rooted to the ground with a very ugly expression on his face as well. Lin Che only felt awkward and did not know how to best deal with the situation.

After all, this was something that had happened between the two of them. Yet, at the same time, it had happened because of her.

She looked at Gu Jingze and fidgeted slowly before stroking her hair and saying with a lot of difficulties, "Gu Jingze, are you alright? Sorry, I..."

Gu Jingze immediately regained his bearings upon hearing Lin Che's voice. He looked down and grabbed her hand swiftly. Fortunately, the soup was not hot. Her hand was only slightly red.

Gu Jingze gestured at a distance for the maid to come over.

"Go and take the ointment for burns."

Lin Che wanted to say that she was fine and that she did not really feel any pain; she only felt ashamed.

However, she looked at Gu Jingze's gloomy expression and did not say a word.

Gu Jingze lowered his head and lifted her hand. He applied the ointment on it carefully.

"Go and change your clothes."

It was only then that Lin Che remembered that her clothes were still in a sorry state.

She nodded and went to change her clothes. When she came out, Gu Jingze was already seated there quietly. He continued to eat his unfinished dinner.

However, the atmosphere in the dining room seemed to have plummeted to rock bottom within that short span of time. It made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Lin Che walked over to him, lowered her head, and

said, "Gu Jingze, I'm sorry..."

Gu Jingze raised his head to look at Lin Che. "It has nothing to do with you."

"But..."

"I'm the one who didn't handle the situation properly. It's not your fault." Gu Jingze put down his chopsticks. "It's a fact that she did something wrong. No matter what, she can't do that. But it's also a fact that I shouldn't have hit her. I'm just a bit vexed. I'm not someone who would ever lay a hand on another person. I was momentarily impulsive earlier and I didn't manage to control myself."

Gu Jingze had never thought that he would be a compulsive and irrational person. However, when he saw the soup in Mo Huiling's hands pour down on Lin Che's body earlier, Gu Jingze really did not know what was wrong with him. What made him unable to control himself? This was something that had never happened before and it was very difficult for him to accept it at the moment.

Indeed, he had never hit someone before, much less a woman, and even much less Mo Huiling.

He was not some saint. However, whatever he did, there was never a need for him to raise his hand either.

Gu Jingze lifted his head. "I'm the one who should be apologizing. Are you alright?" Lin Che hastily patted herself. "Of course I'm alright."

Gu Jingze nodded his head and went upstairs.

The balcony on the third floor was very big. The foliage there was very beautiful and tended to by the gardeners.
