The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage novel Chapter 23

Gu Jingze pressed the bell on the side while saying to her, "If you need anything, don't move. Just press this and a maid will come."

It was his first time explaining these things to her personally. For the past few days, she had remained oblivious that such things even existed.

She looked at the button at the head of the bed and said in awe, "Being rich is just great. You can lie on the bed for a whole day without moving and you still wouldn't die of hunger."

Gu Jingze looked at her. "Right now, you're also a rich person."

"I'm not at all," Lin Che said.

Gu Jingze said, "With a husband as wealthy as me, of course, you're a rich person."

When Lin Che heard this, she felt a tingling warmth in her chest. But then again, she remembered that it would only be for a few years, so she pondered a bit before saying, "Forget it. If I really get too accustomed to it, then I won't be able to get used to living a hard life after we divorce." Gu Jingze looked at her in frustration. "You think too much."

"Of course."

Gu Jingze thought for a bit, looked at her, and said, "Don't worry. I'll give you a large sum of money even after we divorce. I won't let you live a rough life again."

Upon hearing this, Lin Che could not help but smile. "We'll see what happens then."

For some unknown reason, Gu Jingze was irked by her words.

Then, the maid came in.

Gu Jingze requested the maid to bring him some ointment. Soon, the ointment was brought over.

Just as Lin Che was expressing her thoughts about how life was so convenient for rich people, Gu Jingze had already crouched down and pulled up her leg with one hand.

Shocked, Lin Che struggled immediately and said, "There's no need. I'll do it myself."

"Don't move." Gu Jingze frowned. He raised his head and glared fiercely at this disobedient woman.

Gu Jingze said, "Since you already fell, just stay still."

Lin Che could only freeze where she was. She looked on as he took the ointment seriously with his long and slender hands and held her ankle. With his head slightly slanted, he slathered ointment on her ankle. She could not help but feel warmth growing in her chest.

A serious man was definitely more handsome.

She felt that in his half-crouched position, he simply looked extremely sexy and attractive.

She unwittingly smiled and said, "I can do it myself too."

"You're not used to being taken care of by other people either?" He raised his head.

Lin Che said, "Yes, I'm already used to looking after myself."

Gu Jingze gazed at her with his deep eyes. "I'm your husband. It's clearly stated in the agreement. Apart from the fact that we shouldn't interfere with each other's love lives, we must live like a typical couple in all other aspects of marriage life."

Lin Che smiled as she looked at him. She suddenly felt that there was in fact nothing bad about marrying him. Although his heart belonged to someone else, their days together could still be considered comfortable and memorable.

Gu Jingze carefully rubbed the ointment on her. Although she was tall, she was not heavy at all. When he was carrying her earlier, he felt that she was really light and almost weightless. When he looked again at her slim and long legs, he felt even more strongly that she was really thin.

Her small feet were dainty and cute, and each toe was very round and full.

As his fingers brushed lightly over them, it was as if his heart had also been brushed lightly until it became numb.

When Lin Che saw that his movements had slowed, she looked down and asked, "What happened? Is there a problem?"

Gu Jingze raised his head. "Oh... no. It's fine now."
