She asked, “Have you really thought about going to find me then?”
“Every day,” he replied without hesitation.
“Did you miss our child?”
“No.”
“…” Lin Che looked up at him. He said, “I only miss you.”
She asked speechlessly, “How can you be such a father?”
Gu Jingze replied, “I don’t want to waste any of my thoughts about you on someone else, not even for our child.”
Because of his teasing, her tears could not flow.
She released his shoulders and could not hold back her smile as she looked at him. “Tell me. How much sweet-talking did you learn over the years? How is every sentence you say so smooth? Who did you learn from? Leniency to those who are frank and strict punishment to those who resist.”
Gu Jingze bent down and touched the tip of her nose with his own. “I didn’t learn it from anyone. It’s just that for each time I thought about you, I’d think about what I would say to you. The hand gradually accomplishes what the heart wishes.”
“Oh my, oh my, oh my…” Lin Che looked at him in surprise. He still had the cheek to claim that he had no practice? These sweet words were so fluent now.
It was as if Lin Che’s heart was smothered by a layer of honey now. Furthermore, this honey was from Gu Jingze, making it sweeter by a ton.
However, she thought that Gu Jingze might have been telling the truth. He used to say the same things but it was absolutely not this sweet. It must have been because he kept it all inside him for so long that he would say it out now.
She looked at him and at that moment, all her anger seemed to have dissipated.
She said, “Actually, I’m not very angry either.”
“I know,” he said as he hugged her.
If she was truly angry, she wouldn’t have been prepared to stay.
She said, “But you have to make it up to me.”
He looked at her. “What do you want?”
“Hmm… I can’t think of anything at the moment.” Lin Che didn’t have anything she wanted now.
He replied, “If you really can’t think of anything, then forget it.”
Upon hearing this, she panicked and hastily said, “No, no. Give me the money then. I want a lot, a lot of money. Hmph. This is so that if you abandon me again, I wouldn’t want you by then. I’ll be a rich lady and have a few gigolos. I’ll have plenty of freedom then.”
“…” Gu Jingze knew that she was not truly angry now since she was starting to ask for money.
However, her motive for wanting money was a little too…
His face darkened. Then, he thought of something and said to her, “Okay. When you become rich, I’ll also be your gigolo. I’ll definitely be the strongest and most energetic. I’ll make you feel so good that you’ll still choose me in the end.”
“…” He had the cheek to talk about that…
He asked, “Why are you so disgusted? Surely people would want a gigolo like me?”
Indeed. Even if he was not Gu Jingze, with his looks… and his irresistible skills… He could absolutely be the top gigolo.
However, she had to attack him a little more. “Forget it. A gigolo at your age? The ones getting picked now are all seventeen or eighteen-year-olds. That is the tender age.”
Gu Jingze’s face turned dark once again. “Fine, fine, Lin Che. Seventeen or eighteen-year-olds, is it? I’ll let you experience how much time a guy at that age has today.”
“…” As he spoke, he pressed his body down on her and bit her earlobe vengefully.
“No no no, there are people outside,” Lin Che quickly exclaimed.
Gu Jingze took another bite and licked her with a vengeance. He felt Lin Che withdraw slightly. He had clearly hit a sensitive spot and invoked a strong reaction in her. He then released her and patted her clothes. “Alright, let’s go out.”
Lin Che glared at him hatefully. “Don’t forget my compensation!”
“Yes, I’ll give it to you back home!” Gu Jingze replied generously.

Outside, the weather was nice and refreshing.
Mu Feiran sat on the edge of the tent. Chen Yucheng saw Gu Jingze and Lin Che returning with smiles and laughter. It looked like the ice was already broken and there was no longer a distance between them.
He immediately sighed and blew at the dagger in his hand. “Just wait and see. She’s going to be tortured again today.”
Shen Youran looked up and saw the two of them. Although they were not holding hands, their shoulders brushed past each other. Gu Jingze looked relaxed while Lin Che had the same infatuated look for Gu Jingze once again. Immediately, she understood that Lin Che was not going to kick up a fuss anymore.
Chen Yucheng sighed and said pitifully, “She’s forgiving President Gu just like this? Your best friend has too big of a heart.”
Shen Youran grunted and replied, “Of course. She has to forgive him even if only by looking at his face. What else is she supposed to do? Give up this role to some other woman just because of a matter like this? Absolutely not. Even if she’s willing to, we won’t agree to it.”
Mu Feiran watched the couple walk towards them. They looked very casual, but there was a very natural atmosphere surrounding them. It was as if they had plenty of chemistry even if they did not have to say or do anything. They did not have to waste any time arguing. This kind of feeling was indeed very different from before.
Looking at the couple, they really seemed to have already become one harmonious picture. They made the outdoor scenery look even more beautiful.
“What are you guys talking about? Why are you all staring at me?” Lin Che approached them and asked.
Chen Yucheng said, “I was wondering what exactly President Gu did in such a short time in the tent. You came out looking so radiant. I had thought that it was something more substantial, but it was not even half an hour. That would be too quick for President Gu’s usual duration.”
“…” Lin Che looked at Shen Youran and exclaimed, “Isn’t there anyone to reel him in? What is this?!”
Shen Youran pouted, “He’s too much to handle. Not every man is as doting to his wife as Gu Jingze. I’m always serving the one in my home. How can I reel him in this time?”
“Hey, since when have you served me? How come I don’t remember?”
Shen Youran flared up and said, “Idiot, can’t you be more cooperative?”
Everybody laughed. Just then, Gu Jingming also returned with Yu Minmin.
Gu Jingming tugged Yu Minmin along. She still looked rather lethargic.
“What happened? What took you guys so long…”
Yu Minmin replied, “I fell. It’s no big deal.”
“Oh my. If I didn’t know you fell, I would have thought that it was this wild beast…”
This time, Shen Youran shot a look at Chen Yucheng who was spouting gibberish. For Mr. President to be in the wild and do that… It would be crazy.
Just then…
“Oh my, there’s a fire! What’s going on there? It’s on fire!”
In the distance, some tourists were yelling and the group immediately noticed.
Sure enough, thick, black smoke was already coming out from over there. Gu Jingze remembered something and stood up, “Niannian is over there.”
“…”
“…”
They then recalled that the children indeed went over there…
