The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

“I know I know. I’ll talk to you later. Situ Qiong is here.”

“What? Situ also went?”

Lin Che immediately hung up.

She looked at Situ Qiong who was approaching.

He smiled at Lin Che. “Why, is Miss Lin free to walk and have a chat with me?”

Lin Che replied, “Why not?”

“Well, aren’t you the top socialite now? Your appointments must be already filled all the way until the next month. I was just worried about taking up your time by coming here unannounced.”

“What are you talking about?”

Situ Qiong looked at her. “I’m not joking! After today, didn’t anyone try to get close to you and pull you into some circle or something?”

Lin Che asked in puzzlement, “What circle?”

Situ Qiong replied, “These rich playboys have social circles. There are swimming clubs, cruising clubs, racing clubs… Actually, these are all just networking clubs. Everybody comes together for a little party and expands their social circle.”

“Really? I’ve never heard Gu Jingze talk about joining all these.”

“Like Mr. President, he has his own private gatherings but they are only for the few close friends. Nobody else can dream of being included. However, Gu Jingze is rather special. He became known for not joining any of such gatherings and that is why you don’t know about it.”

Lin Che said, “But I’ve never met anyone.”

“In the first place, you are Mrs. Gu and everybody doesn’t dare to pull Gu Jingze into any gathering. They might be trying to rope you in right now, but are probably being blocked by Gu Jingze. That is why nobody has invited you. But now, you’re famous in this circle. You just defeated Lu Chuxia, won the top socialite status, and many guys are fawning over you. Therefore, there will definitely be no lack of people wanting to get to know you.”

“But I really haven’t met anyone.”

Situ Qiong looked at Lin Che. “Maybe Gu Jingze is protecting you too well, so they don’t dare to approach you.”

Lin Che looked up. “Is that so?”

Actually, Lin Che had a heck-care attitude towards many of Gu Jingze’s matters because she wouldn’t understand it either. Thus, she didn’t ask him either and this resulted in her not knowing much about his protection.

Situ Qiong said, “Speaking of that, we’ve never fenced each other despite all the time we spent.”

“Yes… You’ve always had others torture me.” When she was learning, Situ Qiong always found others to be her partner while he stood at the side and scolded her annoyingly.

Situ Qiong asked, “Do you want to fence with me?”

Lin Che looked inside. Gu Jingze would probably take a while and the maids were still packing up.

Lin Che nodded graciously. “Alright, let’s try.”

In the fencing room.

Lin Che and Situ Qiong changed into their suits and picked up their swords. Lin Che called out, “Begin!” The two of them started fencing without a referee.

Actually, Lin Che was a rather fast learner and she seemed rather talented when it came to this aspect. Thus, she looked and moved like the part now.

However, Situ Qiong defeated her easily within moments.

She could not retaliate at all.

Lin Che stopped helplessly and called out to him, “Forget it. You’re not competing with me at all. You’re just out to torture me. Seriously, you didn’t even take pity on me. I don’t want to fight anymore.”

Situ Qiong laughed and sat down as he looked at Lin Che, “Have some sportsmanship. If I’m always giving in to you, then I’ll only be looking down on you.”

Lin Che looked at Situ Qiong. He looked much more handsome in the fencing suit than he did usually. When he fenced, his movements were smooth fluid. It was as if the sword was already a part of his body and he looked especially good.

Lin Che admired him a lot. She looked at Situ Qiong and said, “You are really good at fencing.”

Situ Qiong replied, “Of course, how else could I be the top socialite’s master?”

“Idiot. You’re mocking me again.”

Situ Qiong looked at Lin Che’s smile and paused. He noticed that her leg was still bandaged.

“Your leg…”

Lin Che looked at it and said, “Oh, it’s alright. I just wasn’t used to ballet practice at the beginning.”

Situ Qiong gazed deeply at her relaxed face. Then, someone from outside came in and whispered something to him. He then said, “Gu Jingze is here for you.”

“Really? Then I’ll be going.”

Situ Qiong nodded and watched her get up to leave.

Actually, he really didn’t think that Lin Che would be able to win against Lu Chuxia. However, what was surprising was that she really won.

Housekeeper Chen saw Situ Qiong and stared frozen at his fencing suit.

Who would have thought that Young Master Qiong would actually wear his fencing suit once again because of Lin Che?

This was way too shocking.

—

Lin Che walked out and saw that Gu Jingze was indeed outside.

Lin Che ran to him and asked, “Are you done with your work?”

“Yes, I’m done. Let’s go. I’ll take you for a walk.”

“Really? That’s great! I’ve been so nervous the past few days and haven’t had the chance to explore this place. And it’s also my first time at a small island like this,” Lin Che said.

Gu Jingze turned back to look. He could see Situ Qiong’s figure through the glass. He seemed to be wearing a white fencing suit.

“Were you guys fencing just now?”

“Yes. I’ve been learning for some time and wanted to give it a shot, but he was too good and I was no match for him at all,” Lin Che said with admiration.

Gu Jingze looked at her. “Is he very good?”

Lin Che nodded, “Yes yes, very good.”

Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes and said, “Go change your clothes. We’re going to the seaside.”

“Oh, alright.”

Gu Jingze watched Lin Che leave before turning around.

Situ Qiong was already out. He looked at Gu Jingze and asked, “Does President Gu have something to say to me?”

Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes and looked at Situ Qiong.

After a long pause, his throat moved, “Stay away from Lin Che.”

Situ Qiong didn’t say anything and looked silently at him.

Gu Jingze also didn’t say anything else. He turned around to leave, his figure ominous.

When Lin Che returned, she saw that Gu Jingze’s eyes were dark. She was puzzled. “What is it, Gu Jingze? Did something happen?”

“Nothing. That Situ Qiong is a weird person. It’s better to stay away from him.”

“Really… I’m really confused. Why does everyone love to say that he is weird? I really think that he is rather normal. He is just annoying when he talks.”

“Nevermind. I’ll take you to the seaside.”

Because there was no farming here, the sea was extremely beautiful.

Lin Che looked at it. The sky and sea were vast. She said, “Who would have thought that Lu Beichen would have pretty good taste? It’s really a good idea to use this place for recuperation. To be able to go fishing and strolling every day… What a good life!”

Gu Jingze replied, “Yes, Beichen has always been unruly and doesn’t like being tied down. Actually, I disagreed with him and Jingyan being together because he is a negative influence on Jingyan.”

“Oh, okay… But it’s fine as long as they think they are compatible. They are married now. Why do you care so much?”

“Yes, I should care about you more instead.” He bent his head and tugged her ear. This disobedient little lady should really be looked after more.

Coming here this time, she was so inviting. He still hadn’t properly taught her a lesson. He wanted to see if she still dared to be so attractive next time.
