Gu Jingze took a few steps forward and quickly grabbed her shoulders.

“Be careful. There are cars on the road.”

Staring at this reckless woman, he asked, “How can you be the Gu house mistress in the future if you’re like this?”

Lin Che pursed her lips and thought that she wasn’t really going to be the Gu house mistress.

She thought,

Some other woman would surely take on the house mistress role in the future. It wasn’t certain who it might be, but it definitely wouldn’t be her.

Would it be Mo Huiling?

She was rather reluctant to give up Gu Jingze to a woman like Mo Huiling. However, Gu Jingze grew up together with Mo Huiling and he didn’t know any other woman besides Mo Huiling. If he divorced her one day, perhaps he might just go back to find Mo Huiling.

Although he was fighting with Mo Huiling now, there was no telling when they would patch up. After all, their feelings from over ten years ago were still there.

She couldn’t deny that Mo Huiling’s words still affected her.

What Mo Huiling said was right. His time spent with her was short in comparison. His feelings with Mo Huiling were deeper. He wanted to be with Lin Che and do those things but it might have been because he never touched a woman and she was the only one who he could touch.

Gu Jingze saw that there were many cars. He turned around and gave his bodyguard a look.

The bodyguard immediately understood and quickly found people to help dissipate the traffic.

Gu Jingze held Lin Che with one hand. He held her hand and gently intertwined his fingers.

In an instant, a sense of satisfaction rose up in his heart, making his lips curl up silently.

Her hand was really too small. Looking down, it gave him the impulse to hold it tight. He wanted to squeeze it and bully her.

But then again, it was too delicate. It made him feel that just a little bit of force would break her tiny bones.

Her palm was cool, probably because of the cold weather.

He frowned and rubbed her palm as he asked, “It’s so icy. Are you cold? Why don’t we head back?”

“I’m not cold. My hands are usually icy,” Lin Che looked back at him and smiled. She wore a down jacket while he only wore a mustard windbreaker. With his tall stature, wearing a windbreaker made him look very neat. He only wore a s.h.i.+rt inside. Lin Che thought that he must have been the one feeling cold.

Lin Che quickly asked, “Why don’t we head back? You’re wearing too little, so you must be cold.”

Gu Jingze smiled at Lin Che and pulled her into his arms.

Lin Che made a sound and felt his long arms slide down her neck. His body leaned against her back as he hugged her tightly.

Lin Che did not expect that his body would feel so warm when he wore so little. She couldn’t feel it through her thick clothes but she could feel his body warmth permeating the skin of her neck.

This feeling was so warming that she couldn’t bear to leave.

Lin Che felt the warmth and stepped into his embrace. She found a comfortable position and smiled. This blissful feeling made her head and heart melt.

Gu Jingze hugged her pet.i.te body and said next to her ear, “I don’t like winter at all.”

“Why?” Lin Che raised her head.

Gu Jingze laughed, “You have too many clothes on. I can’t touch you…”

“…”

Lin Che stepped on his shoe, “Get lost. We’re out on the streets. What’s there to touch?”

Gu Jingze said, “Why should anybody care about me touching my own wife?”

Lin Che’s heart sweetened a little and felt a lot warmer.

“Gu Jingze, you’ve learned to have a glib tongue,” Lin Che remarked.

Gu Jingze asked, “How am I being glib-tongued?”

“Where did you learn these sweet nothings from?”

“Ah, these have to be learned?” Gu Jingze asked.

Lin Che said, “Otherwise, how can a person like you who has never dated properly know how to sweet-talk?”

Gu Jingze laughed, “These things don’t have to be learned. If you want to say it to someone, it will naturally come out. It’s all instinctual.”

Lin Che froze.

Gu Jingze said, “How else do we carry on the bloodline?”

“Get lost!” Lin Che rolled her eyes. “So you mean to say that sweet nothings are all to get into bed?”

“Of course not. How can you think that way about me?” Gu Jingze said in a morally upright manner. “Even if it’s not for getting into bed, the carpet, sofa, kitchen, balcony… I can accept all of those too.”

“…” Lin Che blushed. “Gangster, that’s indecent!”

“If I continue to be decent, you wouldn’t be able to stand it anymore and you’ll run away. You’ll only be able to enjoy if I’m indecent.”

“…” Lin Che hid her pet.i.te face in her down jacket like an angry little puffer fish puffing up her body to glare at him.

Gu Jingze laughed playfully. His heart opened up a lot more when she teased him like that.

Lin Che saw the way he smiled and thought that he really looked good while smiling.

Especially when he looked so candid and real. When his entire body radiated happiness, his eyes were like diamonds glistening in the light. The lines of his jaw also softened on his perfect face. He looked like he was glowing like a sun so brilliant that no one could move their eyes away.

Lin Che touched his hand. Although his palm was hot, the back of his hand was cool.

She said, “You’re wearing too little. Look, there’s a little stall there selling scarves.”

Gu Jingze looked over and saw a roadside stall selling things. A little girl squatted there and looked around energetically, waiting for customers.

Lin Che dragged Gu Jingze with her and walked over.

Gu Jingze frowned. He looked at the things at the roadside stall and felt that they weren’t clean. The material also probably paled in comparison to scarves made in Italy.

Lin Che did not realize his objection and headed straight there. She asked, “Little girl, how much is the scarf?”

“Pretty lady, do you want to buy a scarf? One costs thirty. If you want to get two, I’ll give you a discount. Get one! I made these myself,” the little girl looked up at the two of them and her eyes lit up.

Handsome guys and pretty girls were always pleasing to the eyes. The little girl immediately saw the exquisiteness of Gu Jingze. His face was so perfect that it made people sigh in amazement. His nonchalant eyes were full of s.e.xiness. He was so eye-catching.

The little girl’s eyes were bright, “Sir, is this your girlfriend? She’s very pretty. Why don’t you buy one for her to wear? The weather is so cold! It won’t be good to let your girlfriend freeze.”

When Gu Jingze heard her praise Lin Che, he chuckled and looked at Lin Che.

Lin Che said, “I want to buy one for him.”

The little girl heard this and said, “The men’s ones are here. Take a look! It’ll definitely match your clothes.”

Lin Che saw a dark gray scarf. It looked furry and although it wasn’t outstanding and couldn’t compare to those exquisite, branded ones, it did look very warm.

She raised her hand and said, “I want that scarf. Can you bring it for me to try?”

“Of course,” the little girl quickly took the scarf and handed it over to Lin Che with a smile. She snuck a look at the handsome guy next to her and felt that he was really handsome.

Gu Jingze frowned as he watched Lin Che bring the scarf towards him. Because they were on the street, he could only brace himself and let her put it around him.
