Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mo Huiling looked at him and panicked. She gritted her teeth and grabbed a vase beside her, breaking it into pieces as she threw it on the floor. Then, she picked up a shard and cut her own hand...

“Huiling, you...” Gu Jingze tried to snatch it away from her but he was too late. The shard had already made a slit on her wrist.

Mo Huiling did not expect it to hurt so much, so she cried in pain, “Jingze, I... Everything I do is only so that I can get closer to you. You... Please don’t be angry anymore...”

“You... You...” Gu Jingze was hopping mad. This Huiling, how could she do that to herself? That kind of self-harm was such a self-loathing act!

Then, Mo Huiling shuddered and collapsed on the floor, yelling in pain.

Gu Jingze stood there and watched her with dread. He shook his head and called for a car.

At the restaurant.

Lin Che sat there and waited for a long time, but Gu Jingze still did not come.

Perhaps it was indeed true that Gu Jingze would never come here since he was summoned by Mo Huiling.

Lin Che felt so dumb to be actually sitting there and waiting for him.

She was famished, so she figured she might as well order some food. No matter what, filling her stomach was the practical thing to do.

As she was eating, she felt someone standing beside her.

Thinking it was Gu Jingze who finally turned up, she raised her head, “You still came? I already ate your share.”

However, when she looked up, she saw Gu Jingyu standing in front of her.

“Gu Jingyu?”

The older brother did not come but the younger brother came here instead.

Gu Jingyu sat down, “What happened? Did you get stood up?”

“No such thing...” Lin Che replied sheepishly.

Gu Jingyu smiled and looked at her gorgeous get-up, “What you just said was obviously not true. You don’t need to pretend. Fine, since you look so pitiful, I’ll help you eat a little.”

“...” Why were the Gu men so shameless, one after the other?

Gu Jingyu then started eating. He looked at Lin Che, “I heard you’re going to be in a reality show.”

“Yes, it’s that very famous one. Our company let me take it up,” Lin Che said.

Gu Jingyu chuckled, “Given your IQ, won’t the reality show turn into ashes?”

“Why?!”

“You should know that reality TV stars must be very capable in order to capture the audience’s attention. With your IQ, how are you going to compete for that attention?”

“It can’t be that bad...” Lin Che said, “It’s a reality show and everybody has a chance. Also, since when did I have not enough IQ?!”

“Why don’t you look at who you’re with? There are a few veterans who have been in the show for two years; they are definitely more experienced in grabbing attention than someone like you. Besides them, there are a few other guests joining you and they are all fearless too. But you...” he munched on the side dish that came with the steak and shook his head.

Lin Che asked, “Who are the guests joining me?”

“I heard the theme this time is about new female characters. The ones joining you are all new ladies. When you go there, you’ll definitely recognize them, but the newcomers... Each new individual gets bolder and bolder. When you’re there, you’ll know.”

Lin Che suddenly felt slightly hesitant. Snatching resources were definitely not her strong suit.

And the entertainment industry now was not a place to rely solely on acting skills anymore.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingyu, “Why are you here to eat?”

“What’s the matter?” Gu Jingyu replied, “This entire mall belongs to the Gu family, so I’m just here to look around.”

It turned out that this belonged to the Gu family too.

However, thinking about how Gu Jingze was still with Mo Huiling, her heart felt somewhat uncomfortable. She looked at Gu Jingyu and said, “If there’s nothing, I’m leaving first.”

When she got home after parting ways with Gu Jingyu, Gu Jingze still had not returned.

Lin Che decided to spend the entire afternoon with Shen Youran. At night, Gu Jingze was still not back.

Lin Che sat on the bed, not wanting to ask the maids where Gu Jingze was. However, she was getting worried. Was Gu Jingze ill? The last time he touched Mo Huiling, he immediately fell ill. Perhaps this time, he could not control himself with Mo Huiling and fell sick again.

But, why would he touch Mo Huiling...

Thinking about it, she felt even more anxious and mad. How could he not control himself and touch someone else? If that was the case, he deserved to fall sick.

If he died, it would be his own fault.

Lin Che covered herself with the blanket, not wanting to think about Gu Jingze anymore.

The next morning, Gu Jingze was still not home.

Lin Che’s spirits sank early in the morning. She spent the night alone in the room but she could not sleep properly. For some reason, she did not feel at ease. She was usually a heavy sleeper but last night, she kept drifting in and out of sleep.

It must have been because she was too kindhearted and worried about how Gu Jingze was.

Just then, Gu Jingze came back from outside.

She heard the noise and immediately stood up. She wanted to go out. But then, she thought about how he had spent the entire night with Mo Huiling. He was probably still living in the dream of being with her, so she decided that it was better not to rush out and burst his bubble just yet.

After all, Mo Huiling was the woman in his heart.

Lin Che gritted her teeth and remained inside.

Gu Jingze headed straight into the bedroom. Seeing Lin Che there, his mind suddenly felt at peace.

For the whole night, Mo Huiling was making a scene and threatening to kill herself. Anyone would have been impatient.

But no matter how annoyed Gu Jingze got, it was no good to do anything to her.

He only thought that Mo Huiling only became like this because of him. She was never like this before.

“You’re back,” Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze and grumpily greeted him.

Gu Jingze nodded and eagerly wanted to explain, “Huiling is in the hospital. She cut herself and she had been emotionally unstable. I was afraid that she would take things too hard...”

Lin Che lifted her head, “Oh, is that so? Then you should accompany her more.”

Gu Jingze took a few steps forward, wanting to hug Lin Che from the back.

Because he got held up the entire night, he was frustrated and exhausted. It was as if seeing Lin Che made him feel a lot more at ease...

Lin Che felt him come closer and immediately stepped away.

“Gu Jingze what are you doing?!” She glared at Gu Jingze.

Gu Jingze gazed at her, “What’s wrong... Are you mad at me for not meeting you at the restaurant? I’m sorry. It was because something suddenly cropped up...”

“I’m not angry. Why should I be? It’s only right for you to go accompany Mo Huiling and it’s none of my business. I’m just... I need to go to work and I’m going to be late. Step aside.”

She pushed Gu Jingze away and quickly walked out.

“You...” Gu Jingze watched Lin Che’s back helplessly. Standing there, he crossed his arms and sighed.

Lin Che did not want to bother with Gu Jingze. She thought that she should distance herself from Gu Jingze.

Otherwise, she would really get used to having Gu Jingze around. What was she going to do after the divorce?

She was definitely not going to be with Gu Jingze forever. This was only to protect Mo Huiling; she should not let herself get too committed to this marriage.

No matter how good things were, this was all fake.
