MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 8 - Season 12 Episode 50

Beside him, Lin Che hastily said, “Yes, yes. Don’t tire yourself out so much.”

Gu Jingze said, “I’m fine.”

The doctor did not say anything further. He could only look on helplessly.

No matter how much he had advised him over the past few days, it had been useless. Thus, he no longer wanted to try and persuade him.

He thought that Lin Che would probably not be able to do anything either. After all, this patient was way too powerful. There was no way he could say anything.

However, he saw Lin Che crawl beside him despite this. She looked at him and said, “No way. You’re not allowed to go to work anymore tomorrow.”

“Don’t worry. I’m really fine.”

“But you said before that your arm must recover so that you can hug Shiyuan and me. In your present state, how can you hug us…”

Gu Jingze moved slightly.

She said, “If you don’t hug me in the future, who should I look to for a hug? Otherwise, I’ll find someone else to hug me…”

“Come back here.” Gu Jingze looked at her. “That’s enough. It’s just a minor injury. I’ll be fine.”

He looked up in exasperation at the doctor. “You’ve stitched me up, right?”

“Huh? Yes, yes, yes.” The doctor quickly crouched down and continued working. He looked at Lin Che beside him and thought to himself that Madam always knew what to do.

He would definitely have lost patience with them a long time ago. But he immediately went silent after two sentences from Lin Che.

Lin Che clung to Gu Jingze. However, she was feeling very bored inside. She would be even more bored without him around.

So, she pulled his hand towards her and asked him to keep her company. “If you’re not around, I can only lie down here and watch the maids look after the children. They won’t let me touch the children either. It’s way too boring. If you’re around, I can still chat with you, right?”

Hearing her words, his heart softened. He nodded at her and said, “I’ll keep you company here tomorrow.”

Only then were her spirits lifted.

He looked at her in frustration. Meeting her was really like meeting a creditor.

And it was a debt he was willing to pay.

From the next day onwards, he actually moved his workplace to her room…

Confinement was truly a very boring process. Lin Che rested for a few days. Her only hobbies were watching the television and browsing Weibo. Furthermore, she was not allowed to do these for too long. They were afraid that there would be problems with her eyes if she did these things for too long.

Although Lin Che felt that there should be no major problems, she, nevertheless, treated it as a tradition to be respected.

Fortunately, it was not as the rumors said. She was not prohibited from showering and from brushing her teeth. If that were really the case, she would have been so disgusted with her dirty self.

She recalled her days abroad. For some reason, foreigners did not care about these things at all. During her confinement period, they still permitted her to eat cakes. She was terribly shocked too.

On the other hand, it was not that bad here. There were people who helped her shower and wash her hair. They would simply make sure that she did not catch a cold.

Upon hearing that Lin Che had given birth to a girl, everyone felt that daughters were not as precious as sons. If she had given birth to another son, they would be able to accept it too. But with a daughter, they were ultimately blessed with a son and a daughter. Furthermore, they heard that Gu Jingze had never cared about whether it was a son or a daughter and was particularly doting on the child. Thus, they rushed to visit them, bringing presents too.

Everyone was turned away at the door, but all the presents were accepted.

In Gu Jingze’s words, it did not mean anything for them to accept the presents anyway. Since they gave them, he took them. Refusing them would be a waste.

Lin Che instructed the maids to bring all the presents to her. She was flabbergasted when she looked at the presents. There were so many expensive gifts. Her heart bloomed with joy as she looked at them.

“I can earn so much money giving birth to a child. These people are so generous.”

Gu Jingze said, “Of course.”

These people had tried their best to fit his fancy after hearing that he doted on his daughter.

It was a pity that Gu Jingze did not even glance at the gifts.

Lin Che said, “Tsk, tsk. If they find out that you didn’t even glance at their presents, they would definitely be upset.”

“They should already count their blessings at the fact that I took the presents.”

“…” Lin Che wondered in disbelief what these people were trying to achieve. They knew for sure that he did not lack anything, but they were still anxious to give him presents.

Did they think that Gu Jingze would look their way a few more times because they had given him presents?

If they found out that Gu Jingze was completely unaware of who exactly had given him these presents and simply accepted all of them, she reckoned that they would really cry.

Her confinement period passed in the midst of accepting various presents.

Initially, they refused to see anyone. But she met Yu Minmin and Mu Feiran when they came, respectively.

Yu Minmin had arrived with her child in tow. While looking at the plump baby, Yu Minmin said enviously, “She’s so fair and plump. I didn’t expect your child to be so plump when you’re so skinny.”

“Of course. My child absorbs nutrition well.” Lin Che had not expected the baby to get so heavy after merely twenty days of being born. She had weighed fewer than 3.5 kilograms at birth. Thereafter, she grew at an alarming speed. Looking at her again now, she had already turned into a plump little girl.

But she was still very adorable in her plump state.

Yu Minmin said, “The child looks so much like your husband.”

Lin Che felt the same way when she looked at her too…

Although she was very beautiful, she really looked a lot like Gu Jingze.

Lin Che was not happy about this.

Why did all the children she gave birth to resemble Gu Jingze so closely?

Gu Jingze was extremely happy when he heard this. At the side, a rare and tiny smile appeared on his face. Yu Minmin was so shocked when she saw it.

A while later, once Gu Jingze had gone out, Yu Minmin said, “Gu Jingming has been dealing with this matter for a very long time. Even the hospital got into trouble. I think they opened only after being closed for a month.”

Lin Che asked, “Did you hear any gossip? About how the Gu family is doing now?”

She was worried that Gu Jingze had not told her because he was afraid she would be concerned.

Yu Minmin said, “Things are alright. Everyone is just saying that you’re a harbinger of disaster and that you immediately caused a split in the Gu family or something. But no one dares to confront Gu Jingze directly either. After all, Gu Jingze is clearly saying that he’s not worried about offending any clan relative for your sake. Xue Ningshan is so furious that he hasn’t gone out of the house for a few days. Xue Mengqi also stayed at home for a few days. It looks as if she’s hell-bent on opposing you in the future. You should be a bit more careful.”

Lin Che huffed. “I don’t care. She can come to me if she wants to. If she really wants to come looking for trouble, I definitely won’t easily admit defeat.”

Yu Minmin said, “But Gu Jingze probably lost many people too. It seems that he has been recruiting personal guards recently. He has also instructed many training camps to intensify training.

Lin Che sighed. She thought of the people in the hospital who had lost their lives for no reason. She felt terrible about it as well.

There were a few familiar faces that she would never see again.

They were immensely loyal and truly very dedicated to their work too. They had given up their lives to stall for time in order to allow Gu Jingze and her to return safely.

Lin Che said, “Take out a bit of my money and send them some compensation. I hope their family members can have better lives.”

“Don’t worry. Gu Jingze won’t skimp on the compensation.”

“It has nothing to do with Gu Jingze. It is also a show of my sincerity,” Lin Che said.

Hearing this, Yu Minmin nodded. “Alright.”

After leaving, Yu Minmin herself was surrounded by numerous clan relatives of the Gu family. Because they knew that Yu Minmin was the only one who managed to meet her among the many people who had come, all of them were asking about the exact situation inside.

As Yu Minmin was on Lin Che’s side, she naturally would not say too much.

But after returning, she first helped Lin Che to send compensation to them.

Thereafter, Lin Che was finally out of confinement. The first thing she did was to walk up the mountain to pay her respects to the personal guards who had sacrificed their lives this time.

She then took the children back to the Gu residence to greet the elders of the Gu family.

Gu Jingze indulged her even more after she had given birth. He hated that he could not pick all the stars out of the sky and give them to her. He wanted to give her everything she wanted.

Even the maids at home were a bit unaccustomed to it despite having been with them for many years.
