MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 5 - Season 9 Episode 76

Gu Jingze looked at Mu Wanqing and retracted his previous expression. He said, “Mother doesn’t need to worry. I have already asked someone to take a look.”

He told Lin Che, “You come here.”

Upon seeing that, Lin Che quickly grabbed Mu Wanqing’s elbow. “Mom, look. He is going to bully me again.”

Mu Wanqing asked, “Why do I feel like you are the one bullying him?”

Lin Che pouted, looking innocent as if she was wrongly accused like Dou E. [1. Dou E: A character of an ancient Chinese play. She was wrongly convicted of crimes by a corrupt court official for actions perpetrated by a rejected suitor, Zhang the mule. After her execution, three prophesied phenomena occurred to prove her innocence, including a blood rain from the sky, snow in June, and a three-year drought.] “How so? He is so powerful and so stern; how can I possibly bully him?”

Mu Wanqing tapped her forehead. “No matter how stern he is, you have him wrapped around your finger. Other people will never be able to bully him, but it is definitely possible for you.”

“Mom, look at you. You are starting to be biased towards him.” Lin Che stomped her feet and whined.

Mu Wanqing softened because of her. “Okay okay okay, I will be biased towards you. I won’t let him bully you, alright?”

“Yes yes, mom! You treat me the best!” Lin Che leaned on her shoulder and rubbed slightly.

Mu Wanqing looked at him. “She is a girl and you have to accommodate her. How can you bully her?”

Gu Jingze’s face darkened. He had never seen another woman who was better at confusing what was right and wrong or better at whining.

The most important thing was that other women looked annoying when they whined, but she was not like that at all.

Her whining look was so natural and not fake at all.

Gu Jingze knew it was not because love was blind or because beauty was in the eye of the beholder. She just had this power. Even though everyone knew she was spouting rubbish, they were still helpless against her.

Gu Jingze could only glare at her threateningly as if his eyes were saying, After I catch you, see how I will deal with you.

However, Lin Che still dauntlessly made funny faces at him as if she did not care at all.

Mu Wanqing looked and laughed boisterously. She saw Gu Qigang just walk in then and next to him was little Niannian. It was as if the whole family had gathered, making Mu Wanqing feel extremely fulfilled at the moment.

In her life, she had not hoped for anything else but a whole and happy family.

Everyone thought that the couple was fighting when they saw a gloomy Gu Jingze chasing Lin Che inside.

When they looked again, they realized they were just playing around.

When Second Young Master used to be just the Second Young Master, everyone did not give much care about him doting on Lin Che.

Now that Second Young Master was the head of the family, everyone’s gaze was even more focused on him. They cared about every tiny change about him. Seeing how he could play around with Lin Che, they further confirmed that their relationship was still stable after being together for so long. They even still seemed like a new couple fresh in love, playing around like the start of their relationship. More people thought that soon, Gu Jingze would not be less doting on Madam. It seemed like their good relationship would continue, so no one could threaten Madam’s place currently.

Thus,everyone automatically became more respectful towards Lin Che.

Gu Qigang brought Gu Shinian out to play, so Lin Che and Gu Jingze went back to their room.

Gu Qigang peeked at Gu Shinian and asked with a sigh, “Niannian, are you tired?”

Niannian shook his head. “I am not tired.”

Gu Qigang said, “Ah, grandfather knows you are not only studying at the preschool. You must have learned a lot of things already. If you are tired, you can tell your father. These things are not mandatory to learn about anyways.”

Niannian shook his head. “I am really not tired. The more I learn, the better I can protect mother.”

Gu Qigang thought with surprise, This child was really different upon inspection. He could be compared with young Gu Jingze.

He told Niannian, “Okay, good child. Seeing how you are so hardworking, grandfather will give you a present.”

Niannian asked, “What good present is grandfather going to give me?”

“Hey, how do you know it is something good?” Gu Qigang looked at the clever boy. Although he looked silent, this little guy’s eyes were sharp.

Niannian said, “Grandfather has been observing me for a while now. Isn’t it because you have something to give me?”

Gu Qigang said, “Good, good. I did not misjudge you. Yes, these few years, grandfather has been playing outside. I played around and did not accomplish anything but there is a small team that I especially trained. Now that I am back, these people are not very useful to me so grandfather will give them to you.”

Niannian heard it and immediately looked up. “Is it people? Where are they?”

Gu Qigang took out a card from his pocket and passed to him. “This is a chip with their information. Take it and they will be yours in the future. You cannot see them now, but when you have the chance, I will get them to come and find you. This is team of secret guards. They are very good at tracking and finding, and they are adept at protecting you secretly. As for other functions, it will depend on how you use then after learning more.”

Niannian looked at the thing in his palm and asked Gu Qigang, “Such powerful people… grandfather, why are you not giving this to father?”

Gu Qigang said, “Your father naturally has his own people, so he doesn’t need me, ah.”

Gu Shinian naturally accepted it happily.

He looked up and really smiled at Gu Qigang. “Thank you grandfather.”

Gu Qigang said, “Hey, you little materialistic guy. You only looked at me properly after I gave you something.”

Gu Shinian said, “Grandfather, you have given me time to get used to it. I am still not used to suddenly having so many elders caring for me.”

Gu Qigang speechlessly shook his head.

But since he was his own grandson, and such a clever one at that, he naturally became more fond of him the more he looked at him.

He was considering how to settle these people when he returned. They were actually used to find that child, but since they could not find him after so many years, it seemed like it was useless finding him without an aim. It was better to let his two sons activate the official and private methods to find him across the country.

Since they were now useless to him, it was better to give them to someone who could use them.

Although Niannian was young, he had a great aura. In the future, he would not be any ordinary guy, so it was apt giving them to him.

And on the other side.

Gu Jingze found the chance to finally trap Lin Che in the room.

Lin Che turned back and saw Gu Jingze entering. She initially did not give it much thought, but she felt Gu Jingze’s eyes lit up. He smiled at her deeply, walking towards her step by step.

Lin Che suddenly felt uneasy as she looked at him and asked, “Hey, what are you doing…”

What do you think…”
