MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 8 - Season 13 Episode 89

The ratings were quite good on the first day of the TV drama broadcast.

Numerous people rushed to collaborate with Lin Che and Gu Jingyu. No matter how they had wanted to show support, they figured that it might not have been as effective after some comparison.

After some surveys with the audience, they felt that they had placed too much importance on Panda Station. It was as if they were not picked by the TV company like something was missing.

This was an effect of the Panda Station’s branding.

Lin Che was not discouraged. She would watch the TV at night to support herself.

At night, the entire crew would also gather to have dinner together.

Lin Che went out as Gu Jingze was busy. She addressed her two kids before she headed out. “Niannian, take good care of Shiyuan. Mommy will be back soon.”

Lin Che had confidence in Gu Shinian and gave Shiyuan a kiss before she went out.

A celebratory feast was organized at one of Gu Industries’ hotels.

Gu Shiyuan started crying after Lin Che left.

Gu Shinian did not know what to do.

He had never seen a child cry so much before. He looked out as he was thinking and could only say to Gu Shiyuan, “Be good. I’ll take you to look for Mommy.”

Gu Shiyuan stopped crying immediately when she heard that.

Gu Shinian pinched her chubby cheeks. She was so puffed up that she looked like a ball.

Gu Shinian did not care much about others but to his sister, he always found it hard to reject her and ended up giving in.

However, as he saw that there were so many people outside, he thought it would be better if he snuck out alone instead.

If he took Shiyuan out with him, they would be bound to be stopped by the adults.

As the two children were escaping out from home, Lin Che was at the celebratory feast, having some good food with everyone.

“I would like to thank everyone again for your hard work. Especially Jingyu. We are very happy that you could take on this role.”

Gu Jingyu lifted his head. “Then you should give me more credit.”

“Didn’t we lower the rent already?”

Gu Jingyu’s face turned black.

Lin Che shook her head helplessly.

Su Wan was at the next table, eating quietly without much movement. Nobody seemed to have noticed her.

Gu Jingyu continued drinking.

As Su Wan looked over, she heard someone say, “Is there really nothing going on between Gu Jingyu and Lin Che?”

“I’m sure there’s something. Didn’t you hear something about rent? Some lowering of rent. Maybe there isn’t any remuneration for the filming and he went straight to Lin Che’s home to stay?”

“Oh, maybe. Don’t tell me they are living together?”

“That is very big news. How can the media not react to this?”

“It’s never easy to find news about Gu Jingyu in the first place. Lin Che’s bodyguards are also different from other bodyguards. However, if they’re really together, I personally think they are very matching.”

“I think so too. They have good chemistry all the time and they talk without reservations. Look, Gu Jingyu usually doesn’t give a hoot about others, but when it comes to Lin Che, it’s like he has endless things to say.”

Su Wan knew about the relationship between Gu Jingyu and Lin Che. She told herself that it was impossible for the two to be together.

Yet, deep down in her heart, she felt a tinge of sadness.

Gu Jingyu treated her very well, including these few days. He gave her the best of everything and did not throw his temper or shout at her.

However, it just felt like something was missing.

Come to think about it.

He was good to her, yes. But they did not have that sort of romantic connection.

It seemed like she had gained some weight under Gu Jingyu’s care, spending money without a care. Hence, with that aside, they didn’t have a proper romantic relationship.

Someone noticed Su Wan silently sitting there and asked, “Your character will debut tomorrow right?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll need to watch closely tomorrow. You should be featured quite prominently.”

Su Wan smiled and felt a wave of attention on her.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow would be the last day of their 100-day countdown.

After tomorrow, her agreement with him would end and she could leave him.

Thinking about it, she felt relieved yet sour.

But seeing that it was Gu Jingyu, she guessed that he would not have any sense of nostalgia.

Seeing him laugh and talk only made her feel more miserable. What did she expect, that a rich guy would feel nostalgic with his woman?

After having a bit of alcohol, she was a little dizzy and walked out.

As soon as she stepped out, she felt someone’s foot get in her way and almost stumbled.

“Hey, look where you’re going. You almost stepped on me.”

Su Wan looked up. “Oh, I’m sorry.”

“You think apologizing would cut it? Do you know what shoes I’m wearing? Brand new Gucci’s. Do you know how much they cost? How can I wear it if you’ve stepped on it?”

Su Wan looked at the pair of shoes. “You can take off your shoes and send it for cleaning. Wouldn’t the problem be solved once they’re cleaned? I’ll pay for the cleaning alright?”

“Ha. Who wants your dry-cleaning money? Its shape would be changed once it’s washed.”

Su Wan could not help but laugh. “So you mean you won’t wash your shoes after wearing them? Oh, they must stink. No wonder when you walked in, there was a smell…”

The woman’s face changed.

She pointed her fingers at Su Wan and angrily scolded her, “Who are you being sarcastic to? Do you dare to be sarcastic if you know who I am?”

Just then…

The woman saw Gu Jingyu walking over.

Her face changed.

“Oh, I really don’t know who you are. Who are you?” Gu Jingyu asked nonchalantly.

The woman stood there dumbfounded.

That was the first time that Gu Jingyu had spoken to her.

They had never talked even though she was part of the crew for so many months.

And now, the only words he spoke were those sentences.

She certainly felt embarrassed in front of Gu Jingyu but did not dare to refute him. She immediately smiled and replied, “Senior Jingyu, it’s nothing. I’m a nobody. I’ll take my leave first…”

Most people were considered nobodies when placed in front of Gu Jingyu.

The woman had forgotten about putting Su Wan in a spot and immediately ran off.

Then, Gu Jingyu held her chin and moved closer to her lips.

“You had alcohol?”

Su Wan nodded.

He frowned. “Come home with me.”

Home?

It would not be her home tomorrow.

She pushed him away. “Don’t pull me. I can walk on my own.”

“You can’t walk steadily.”

“Fine, I’ll listen to you. Stop pulling me. Anyway, I’m only yours for one more day tomorrow. I’ll listen to whatever you say.”

What did ‘one more day tomorrow’ mean…

Gu Jingyu looked at her. “What did you say?”

Su Wan blinked. “After tomorrow, our agreement will end. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten, hmph.”

Ha…

Agreement…

He had really forgotten about it.

But he had never expected that she would be so clear about it and that she would be so calculative about the days.
