The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage novel Chapter 6

"There's no need for that." He threw his blanket down. "I'll sleep on the couch. You sleep on the bed."

He considered himself a gentleman; it was only right to decline.

Lin Che could fall asleep anywhere. But for someone like Gu Jingze who lived in such a huge house, he wasn't a person who could adjust to inconvenience.

"It's alright. I'll sleep on the couch. For real. I'm used to doing that at home. At your height, it would be uncomfortable to sleep on the couch," she said. She stood at his side and was prepared to pull his elbow.

But before she could touch him, he blocked her with his elbow.

Lin Che fell directly to the ground and looked up at Gu Jingze who had completely written off her good intentions. She offered him the bed because she wanted to get along with him, but a mere touch displeased him.

Her anger began to rise slowly. Lin Che stood up and yelled, "Gu Jingze, are you crazy? Forget that I came to sleep on the couch out of kindness. What do you mean by this?"

Gu Jingze raised his impeccable eyebrows, lowered his head, and patted the part of his elbow that she had touched. He looked calmly at the frazzled woman beside him and said coolly, "Let me get one thing straight. You caused all of this to happen. You're saying that you were being kind. Don't you think it's a little late now?"

"Even... even if I drugged you, I didn't make you push me down. You... you could have rubbed me off by yourself, but you pushed me down instead. I should be the one to complain." As she said this, she felt even more sheepish, but she refused to give in verbally.

It was his fault for being such a jerk.

"You..." It had not registered to Gu Jingze what "rubbed me off" meant, but when he understood it, he found it unacceptable that a woman could be this uncouth. Another layer of ice seemed to freeze over his face and he pointed his slender finger towards the door. "Get out!"

Lin Che froze, having no clue as to what she was thinking when she impulsively argued with him like this.

The more he looked down on her, the angrier she became. Glaring at him, she jumped onto his back. "Oh no! There's a rat. It's so scary! Rats are my greatest fear."

Since he disliked her, she resolved to irritate him even more by sticking to him.

Gu Jingze tensed up. When her soft, fragrant body latched onto him like a sloth, his body jolted and he instinctively tried to shake her off. "Let go!" He stretched his arm backward to push her off, but the two soft lumps pressing against his back started a flame inside his body. His body froze.

Although Lin Che was quite tall at 168cm, in comparison to Gu Jingze who was at least 190cm, she was much smaller. Her body was different from a man's: it was as soft as silk and as pliant as water. She clung to his body like a thin snake, making him realize that even though she was very tall, she was very slender. Her pale fingers held onto his arm and were comforting, even though they were cold to the touch.

However, during this time, the lumps pressing against his back felt more and more prominent, and his body began to heat up uncontrollably.

Damn it. The effect of the drug should have worn off a long time ago...

However, his body was obviously reacting.

"I won't let go. There's a rat. I'm afraid of rats..." She held onto him for dear life and refused to let go.

However, she suddenly felt his arm stretch out to grab her waist. He pulled her off his back and threw her down. Using the momentum, she held onto him and they both fell to the ground.

When Gu Jingze regained his bearings, right before him was her soft, pink lips. He could also see a sliver of pearly white teeth. It was like a passionate invitation that left his throat dry.
