MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 8 - Season 12 Episode 9

Lin Che immediately recognized the look in those eyes.

Because when she looked at Gu Jingze, her eyes would give off the same look too. How could she not?

An expression showing that she wanted him. She wanted him so badly. She had it too.

Lin Che quickly looked away.

Surprised, she thought to herself, Did Secretary Lan…

However, for a woman beside Gu Jingze to develop feelings for him was completely understandable.

After all, Gu Jingze was so outstanding and feelings could not be controlled. She might have fancied him, but like most normal and proper women, she would simply be infatuated for a little bit or simply keep it to herself. However, it was not for certain how many women had that look in their eyes.

After all, Gu Jingze was already married. All subordinates who were closer to him knew about it.

They also knew that Lin Che was Gu Jingze’s wife.

However, Secretary Lan continued looking at Gu Jingze in such a manner.

That was wrong.

Lin Che shook her head. On the one hand, she was amazed at how Gu Jingze could be so charming that he could win over countless girls’ hearts.

On the other hand, she was uncomfortable with it.

Because Secretary Lan was right by his side, but she still desired him so obviously. And she even seemed to… want his everything.

Like him, for all I care, but you can’t have him. That man is taken. So what if you want him?

Secretary Lan quickly snapped out of it. She looked up at Lin Che and frowned, wondering what the employees outside were doing. How could Lin Che simply come in without knocking?

She had no idea that all of Gu Jingze’s people knew Lin Che. When Gu Jingze was working, Lin Che could always go in and out as she pleased. Seeing Lin Che did not make Gu Jingze angry. Instead, it made him very happy. After a long time, they naturally understood. Thus, Lin Che could go in and out of the room whenever she wanted. They did not have to bother.

Lin Che hesitated before stepping in.

Gu Jingze clapped his hands and let Secretary Lan leave first.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and then turned around to look in the direction that Secretary Lan left. She asked, “What were you talking about?”

Gu Jingze, “I was following your sagely advice and showing concern about my subordinate’s personal life.”

“Oh… How was it?”

“She said that she wanted to devote all her time to work.”

Ha, devote her time to work… or to him?

Lin Che narrowed her eyes. It was indeed uncomfortable for her. Thus, she decided to ask Gu Jingze directly, “Does she harbor any kind of intentions on you?”

Gu Jingze froze immediately.

Then, he burst out laughing.

Lin Che was puzzled by his laughter. “Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?”

Gu Jingze asked, “Are you jealous?”

He swooped Lin Che into his arms with one quick motion.

Lin Che ended up sitting on his lap.

She hit his shoulders. “Don’t do this. I’m so heavy!”

“You are heavy,” he looked at her and said.

Lin Che huffed angrily, “What did you say?!”

She could call herself heavy, but others could not!

Every woman was the same!

Gu Jingze looked at her. “Because… You are my everything, so of course, you’re heavy.”

“…”

Lin Che’s heart suddenly shot up sky high.

Oh my, her heart was already melting.

Did this man know how charming he already was? Coupled with some lovely words, he was simply too irresistible. People would die.

Lin Che leaned on him and smiled. However sweet it was for a little while, she still couldn’t forget about that Secretary Lan.

She said, “Anyway, women have women’s intuition. I feel that Secretary Lan does like you.”

“Impossible.” Men were laggards when it came to this kind of matter.

He said, “It is only for work. We only see one another a few times a year.”

“That doesn’t stop her from liking you,” she replied.

Gu Jingze pinched her nose. “You’re incredibly jealous now, but I quite like it when you’re jealous.”

Incredibly jealous…?

That meant that he still didn’t believe it.

Lin Che could not be bothered about saving his emotional quotient. Thus, she didn’t say anything else.

They cuddled for a while before they went to rest together.

The next morning, Gu Jingze went to work again.

Lin Che tidied up before heading out.

She still went to the company to wait for him. He was having a meeting as planned. Lin Che arrived at his office and saw Secretary Lan come in. She said plainly, “You must be so busy these few days, Secretary Lan. Thank you.”

When Secretary Lan looked at her, her eyes were completely different and Lin Che naturally could tell.

Towards Gu Jingze, she was so gentle and dutiful. She was so willing as if she wanted to give her heart and body too.

But towards Lin Che, it was entirely different. She smiled, but only superficially.

Other employees may not have been personal either, but they absolutely would never show such a drastic difference.

Lin Che asked, “Is Gu Jingze busy?”

Secretary Lan said, “Madam, President Gu went to see the doctor. He wasn’t feeling well.”

“The doctor?” Lin Che repeated in surprise. “What happened?”

Secretary Lan said, “He probably ate something bad. His stomach was upset.”

Lin Che jolted.

She looked up at Secretary Lan.

She smiled. “Secretary Lan, if you have anything to say, just shoot. You think that the restaurant where President Gu and I went to eat was not proper, don’t you?”

Secretary Lan looked at her. “Madam, I have no other intention. It’s just that President Gu had been busy with meetings over the past few days. He simply should not be eating food that is not substantial. It would waste time. Furthermore, President Gu is a picky eater and his digestive system is weak. It’s not good for him to be eating rubbish.”

Lin Che was even more surprised.

Her words sounded like she was Gu Jingze’s wife instead.

While Lin Che was an outsider who did not understand Gu Jingze.

However, Lin Che laughed.

“It’s probably because the food you’ve been preparing over the past few days didn’t suit his taste. In B City, we often dine outside and he was fine.”

Secretary Lan maintained a poker face. “Perhaps, but President Gu has never been like this, so that was what I deduced.”

Lin Che narrowed her eyes and looked at her. “Secretary Lan, I hope you’ll understand one thing. I am his wife, and I am indeed like any other visitor coming to the company. You can carry on with your work. You don’t have to bother about me.”

She replied, “Everything in President Gu’s office is under my care, so this is also my duty.”

Lin Che said, “Secretary Lan, let me ask you something.”

Secretary Lan looked at her.

Lin Che asked, “Do you have something against me?”

Secretary Lan raised a brow and looked at her. “Madam, how can you say that? I don’t.”

Lin Che said, “I’m not your boss, so you don’t have to hide anything from me. Just be honest with me.”

“I… Okay, I’ll say it. I just feel that you are disturbing President Gu by being here. Why don’t you go back and rest?”

Lin Che stood up. “Am I disturbing President Gu, or am I disturbing you?”

Secretary Lan said, “How can you say that, Madam? Have I done anything wrong? You can tell me.”

“Oh, then let me ask you this. You usually never put makeup on. When I first came here, you never wore makeup and you only wore work clothes. Today, you actually put in the effort to doll up. You’re not dating and neither do you have a boyfriend. You even wore a low-cut top to work. I would like to know who is your intended audience?”
