MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 8 - Season 13 Episode 37

She went to the supermarket in a similarly grand fashion.

Before going in, her subordinates were already stationed outside to keep a lookout.

Lin Che pushed a shopping cart inside while looking around. She bought some snacks, planning to eat them when she returned.

Going to a supermarket was an extremely relaxing affair, to begin with. However, with these people following her, she felt slightly uncomfortable.

Fortunately, she had also had personal guards following her around in the past, so she had gotten much more used to it.

But there were many more people with her today than usual. It made her feel slightly uneasy.

However, she had no other choice but to adjust to it.

She was pushing the shopping cart and walking around when she suddenly knocked into a child when she turned around the corner.

“Oh no…” the child cried out.

Lin Che looked down and said, “I’m sorry.”

She rushed to pull the child towards her when a woman ran over from the side.

“Dong Dong, Dong Dong. What happened to you?”

Lin Che hastily said, “I’m sorry. I accidentally bumped into him.”

Wang Li looked up at Lin Che. Then, she smiled and said, “It’s alright. You didn’t do it on purpose either.”

However, at this moment, the people behind Lin Che immediately rushed forward.

One of them came directly in front of Lin Che and looked at Wang Li coldly.

Wang Li froze. She retreated backward in shock. There was terror written all over her face.

Lin Che stopped the man with one arm. “It’s fine. It was just an accidental touch.”

In the past, Lin Che had also wondered why she had to bring so many people along when she went out.

Later on, Qin Hao told her that Gu Jingze had been attacked once, by a person on the street who looked extremely ordinary. He was actually a special agent from another country. After pretending to fall, he seized the opportunity to make his move on Gu Jingze.

Another time, even a pregnant woman suddenly attacked him.

After those incidents, Gu Jingze’s subordinates became extremely vigilant towards all people who passed by on the street, even if they looked completely ordinary.

Lin Che looked up and glanced at Wang Li.

Wang Li frantically said, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I didn’t watch my child properly. I’ll leave right now.”

At one glance, these people looked like people whom she could not afford to offend. Wang Li dared not stay a second longer and wanted to leave immediately with her child.

Lin Che smiled. “I’m sorry. They scared you. I should be apologizing. Why don’t you leave first? They won’t do anything.”

“Yes, yes. Thank you.” Wang Li rushed off.

Lin Che turned around and continued shopping.

Wang Li turned around. She heaved a sigh of relief only after the troop of people had left.

Beside her, Dong Dong looked up and asked, “Mother, what do these people do?”

Wang Li shook her head. “I don’t know either. She looks like the heiress of some family.”

“Huh? What does an heiress do?”

Wang Li said, “It’s none of your business. Anyway, we can’t afford to offend them.”

Seeing that those people simply looked extraordinary, Wang Li sighed in admiration. She was beautiful and rich, and she even had so many bodyguards trailing after her. A person as lucky as her was different from them ordinary people.

But why was a person like her here at the supermarket?

Lin Che lost interest after buying some things. She left the supermarket with her men in tow.

Meanwhile.

After returning home, Wang Li saw that Gu Jingze was still lying there. He seemed slightly feverish and his entire body was trembling while he slept.

Oh no. He could be running a fever because his wound had been infected. However, he had also said that he dared not go to the hospital.

Wang Li was about to die from fright.

She had merely taken a few steps towards Gu Jingze when she heard him calling out, “Lin Che… Lin Che…”

Was that someone’s name?

Wang Li felt that he was calling her name in a particularly loving way.

Was she his wife?

He was completely unconscious but continued to call out his wife’s name. What a good man he was.

Wang Li lost control for a moment. She had never seen such a good-looking person before. She felt the slight urge to touch him and see if he was real.

So, she reached out her hand. He did not react at all when she touched him, because he was running a fever after all. His body was still extremely weak and he had completely let down his guard.

She stretched her hand further along his body. Although Wang Li felt shy, she also felt that his body was very pleasant to the touch.

Good gracious. It was a pity that she had never met such a good-looking person.

But when she thought about it, a person so good-looking definitely would not marry her.

She was merely an ordinary teacher with an ordinary family. Her greatest goal was to bring up her child. After getting married, she no longer had any other dreams of her own. She had put all her hopes in her child. Thus, she was content with her lot and thought only of her family. She had never indulged in wishful thinking.

A life like hers was probably different from theirs.

For some reason, she felt as though this man’s life was the same as that of the rich heiress she had met in the supermarket.

She felt the man move while she was thinking.

His body suddenly broke out in rashes and his breathing became labored.

Wang Li was frightened. Had he been poisoned?

Of course, she would not know about Gu Jingze strange illness. Perhaps there had been some sweat on her palm when she had touched him earlier. In any case, she had triggered Gu Jingze’s illness.

Wang Li felt that this seemed to be an allergic reaction. But she did not know what to do either.

She kept looking at him, wanting to wait for his rashes to subside on their own. However, if Gu Jingze’s illness was that simple, he would not have spent such a long time studying it.

After some time, Gu Jingze’s body started twitching even more violently. He lay there completely unconscious. Only his eyes were moving as if he was about to die at any moment.

Ultimately, Wang Li didn’t dare to delay treatment any longer and quickly rushed him to the hospital.

—

After returning to her accommodation and lying down, Lin Che thought of the mother and son whom she had met earlier.

Beside her, Qin Hao said, “Madam, it’s time for you to rest.”

Lin Che said, “Sometimes, I think it would also be quite nice to be an ordinary married couple.”

“What?” Qin Hao looked at her.

Lin Che said, “I saw a woman and her child in the supermarket today. I thought of the fact that I seldom bring Niannian to the supermarket, because there are too many people and because Niannian doesn’t like going out either.”

“Indeed. Little Young Master was born with extraordinary talent. He’s different from other children.”

“But perhaps the joy of ordinary people is more blissful.”

Qin Hao said, “All of us were ordinary people in the past. It’s not that we never had such experiences. It can’t be that you don’t know whether or not they’re blessed, right?”

Lin Che froze before thinking back to those days.

Yes. She herself had forgotten how she had been bullied in the Lin family back then and how she had run away with nothing to her name.

Now, she did not have to worry about basic necessities. She had other concerns now, but she had forgotten that even if she did not have such troubles at the time, she would have had other troubles.

She said, “Yes. Each person has his worries. If I could choose a kind of worry, I still prefer the current kind.”

Because, at least she had Gu Jingze now.

For Gu Jingze, all these troubles were nothing.

She looked up and smiled at Qin Hao. “Thank you, Assistant Qin.”

Qin Hao smiled and said, “It’s nothing.”

At this moment.

Someone came in and said all of a sudden, “Madam, we just received news that a hospital took in a patient with no identity.”

“A patient?”

“That’s right. The hospital had some difficulties identifying this patient’s illness. It’s currently seeking the assistance of international experts.”

Lin Che immediately stood up. “Gu Jingze’s illness…”

Beside her, Qin Hao also nodded. “Madam, there’s a strong possibility.”
