The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

55 HE BIT HER LIP

Lin Che immediately objected, "Since when have I insulted you?"

"You drugged me... Don't you think you're lucky that you're still able to stand here in front of me?" Gu Jingze raised his brow.

Now he felt appalled at how he fell for something so cliche.

Lin Che knew what he meant and her face blushed,

"I... We don't know who's the unlucky one yet! I was fine by myself but my freedom got stolen and I suddenly became somebody's contract wife. I still have to face you daily and tolerate your weird temper!"

She still felt wronged.

Suddenly, he got up and took a step forward. He hovered over Lin Che's petite face and looked at her chin. He reached out to hold it and said, "Come again?"

His icy breath mixed with his cologne as he got close. Lin Che was scared. Feeling the warmth of his hand, she looked at his face which became unreadable. Looking at him stiffly, his lips were right in front of her. If she made any movement, she might just touch them. Lin Che quickly pulled his hand away, "Get off me. You're too close. It's getting hot."

Her face was hot to the touch. She could not stand it any longer. She stomped on his foot and squirmed her way out from his side. Without turning back, she ran out.

"Ouch..." Gu Jingze winced in pain.

This damned Lin Che... she really used all her energy.

Gu Jingze frowned at her back, "Well done, Lin Che. As soon as you've made use of me, you're turning your back on me?"

Lin Che pretended not to hear. She ran into her room and slammed the door shut.

She took deep breaths and patted her own chest.

That stupid gangster was provoking her again.

She had not calmed down when she could hear Gu Jingze's voice right outside.

He still had work to do but after all that ruckus with her, he could not calm down either. He followed her to the bedroom.

Lin Che refused to let that gangster in. Leaning against the door, she locked it and said, "You can sleep in the other room."

Hearing what she said, Gu Jingze replied sadly, "Why do I have to sleep in the other room?"

"It's not like you haven't done that before. Anyway, I'm dead tired and I don't want you to disturb me."

She was already getting used to it.

He replied, "This is my bedroom. I can sleep in here if I want to sleep in here. Open the door."

"No. I just offended you. Who knows what you'll do to me," Lin Che was finding excuses to not let him in.

Gu Jingze huffed, "You're offending me even more now."

"Since you're already offended, a little more won't matter."

"Fine, Lin Che. In that case, aren't you afraid of me taking revenge? Your show will never be played and the company will kill you off quietly..."

"What?" Lin Che panicked, "Gu Jingze, you're not that unreasonable. We promised not to meddle in each other's affairs after getting married."

"I have done more unreasonable things than this. Don't forget that I'm a capitalist," Gu Jingze snorted.

Lin Che mulled over it and then slowly opened the door a little bit.

Little did she expect Gu Jingze to instantly push open the door with his huge palm. Lin Che stumbled a few steps back, shocked. Gu Jingze looked and quickly stretched out his arm to grab her waist, pulling her back to her feet as she almost fell.

Lin Che let out a sound and she realized that her face was pressed to his face. She felt her face rapidly burning up as she looked at his characteristically thin lips. Her throat was hoarse and she could not utter a word.

She panicked and quickly pushed Gu Jingze away. Gu Jingze frowned as he immediately grabbed her wrist.

He stared into her eyes as she tried with all her might not to look back at him. He got more upset as he pulled Lin Che up, "Lin Che, what are you doing? I feel like you've been trying to avoid me recently."

Lin Che was stunned.

He had realized?

"I... I'm not avoiding you," she struggled to get loose from his grip.

Gu Jingze's grip was tight, "Not avoiding me? Then why aren't you looking at me or even chasing me out?"

Lin Che turned around, "No way. You're just being paranoid."

Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che towards him, his slender fingers pinching her cheek and forcing her to look at him.

"Then look me in the eye and tell me you're not avoiding me."

Lin Che raised her head and stared into his deep-set eyes. Her lips moved but nothing came out.

The truth was that she had been avoiding him because each time she saw him, she felt her body grow hot. She quickly said, "I'm really not avoiding you. Let me go." She forcefully pried his hand open.

Gu Jingze became more vexed. Looking at Lin Che turn away, he followed close behind and asked, "What's going on with you, Lin Che?"

"What do you mean what's going on with me? There's nothing going on. I've just been busy lately."

"Then why did you shut me out?" Gu Jingze naturally did not believe her.

"Because I... don't feel comfortable sharing the same room with you. Besides, our marriage is a fraud. If anyone were to ask, we'll just say that our honeymoon period is over and we're both busy. So sometimes, we sleep separately. There's nothing wrong with that."

"Lin Che..." a bad feeling suddenly came over Gu Jingze, "Are you avoiding me because you have fallen for someone else?"

It just did not make any sense to Gu Jingze.

Lin Che froze.

She did not even think of something that far-fetched.

Since he already brought it up, Lin Che played along, "It's not that I like someone else, but I'm going to have a boyfriend sooner or later. I might as well be abstinent now so I don't waste a good part of my youth."

She thought, It was indeed time she got a boyfriend. Growing up, she had never liked nor got close to any guy other than Qin Qing.

So looking at Gu Jingze then, she felt all tingly.

She must have been so overwhelmed by hormones that she became so boy-crazy.

Gu Jingze's brows knotted and light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Lin Che's moving lips. He suddenly felt an impulse.

Swiftly, he took a step over.

One hand held her shoulder while the other braced the back of her head. He went for it and bit her red lip.

His tongue swept over her lip and almost subconsciously slipped into her mouth.

Lin Che was stunned. She felt his cool, slippery tongue invade her own mouth. For a moment, she was frozen.

Gu Jingze was sucking her soul away as he sucked on her tongue and brought it into his mouth. Their lips were locked.
