Chapter 59 - He Really Left Home
At night, Lin Che returned to her room and closed the door. She was not going to let Gu Jingze in.
She waited for a while but there was no sound.
Quietly, she opened the door and heard Gu Jingze who appeared to be on the phone.
“Huiling, what’s wrong?”
Upon hearing Mo Huiling’s name, Lin Che grew curious and continued eavesdropping.
Gu Jingze was holding his phone and listening to Mo Huiling whine.
“Jingze, I quarreled with my family. I have nowhere to go now. Can you let me stay at your place for a few days?”
Gu Jingze thought deeply, “Why did you quarrel with your family?”
“It was because of… Forget it. Anyway, I have no place to go now. My mother and father even confiscated my credit cards.”
“Okay, I’ll arrange a place for you and go over to find you.”
“Okay. I’ll be waiting.”
Gu Jingze stood there as he made some arrangements. He flexed his wrists and called Qin Hao, “Prepare the villa at the bay. Huiling needs a place to stay. I’m going over to her now.”
“Yes, Sir,” Qin Hao saw Gu Jingze’s serious expression and dared not say another word.
As he retreated, he caught a glimpse of Lin Che and could not help but sympathize with her. Gu Jingze’s temper was really something that not everybody could handle.
Lin Che watched Gu Jingze walk away. She lingered at the door and silently cursed at him. That damned, half-hearted Gu Jingze. He dared to meet another woman when he already had a wife.
When she was done, her heart felt uncomfortable.
Actually, Mo Huiling was his real love. Was it not assumed that the one not receiving love, was going to be the third party?
She was the actual third party.
Gu Jingze really left home and did not return that night.
Lin Che vaguely heard Gu Jingze mention something about the villa at the bay and imagined him cuddling with Mo Huiling there.
Meanwhile, at the villa at the bay.
Mo Huiling put down her luggage and happily looked at Gu Jingze, “Thank you so much, Jingze. If it wasn’t for you, I really wouldn’t know what to do.”
Gu Jingze let the maid take in Mo Huiling’s belongings while the two of them sat on the sofa.
“Huiling, what exactly happened at home?”
Mo Huiling bit her lower lip, “I… It’s nothing big.” She stared at the floor and looked pitiful, “They weren’t approving of us being together all along. Now that they know you’re married, they are trying to get me a boyfriend. I objected and we ended up arguing.”
Gu Jingze gazed deeply at her as he crouched down beside her, “Huiling…”
She had suffered because of him.
Mo Huiling raised her head, “I am not getting a boyfriend. I want to wait for you, Jingze. There’s no happiness in marrying someone I don’t love. I won’t allow myself to suffer for the rest of my life…”
She was talking about herself but at the same time, she was reminding him that he was not with someone he loved and facing her daily.
Gu Jingze frowned with unhappiness.
However, looking at Mo Huiling, he decided to control his anger.
Today, he was not in a good mood. He felt irritated and his heart burned.
Even Mo Huiling could tell. From the beginning, Gu Jingze’s expression had been as cold as ice and his eyes were like daggers. His mouth had curled downwards unhappily.
However, Mo Huiling still felt rather happy.
Perhaps he was not happy because of how her family treated her.
She had always known he was a strong-willed person. She thought that he must have felt jealous.
Mo Huiling slumped against him and looked at him, “Jingze, what am I supposed to do? My family will continue trying to force me. I don’t even want to go back home anymore these days. Who knows what kind of guy they’ll try to set me up with.”
Gu Jingze turned to her and said plainly, “You can stay here as long as you want.”
Mo Huiling tugged at him and said, “Are you going to stay with me…”
Gu Jingze sighed and said without hesitation, “Huiling, that won’t be right. I’m a married man.”
Mo Huiling’s face fell, “But I’m scared to be alone here.”
“I’ve already delegated five maids here. There’s a chef in the kitchen and my security guards. Everything is secured. I won’t let anything happen here. You can rest assured.”
“No matter how many people are here, they can’t compare to you,” Mo Huiling looked at him, “I don’t want to be alone here. I don’t feel safe.”
However, Gu Jingze sat there and didn’t say a word.
Mo Huiling grew frustrated and looked at him, “Or you’re thinking of going back to your pretty little wife. That’s why you don’t want to stay here?”
Pretty little wife?
Gu Jingze’s brows knitted again and his eyes flickered. He looked at Mo Huiling, “Forget it. I’ll stay here.”
It was not like he had not stayed outside his home before, but he had never stayed in the same room with her. Because of his illness, he could not have physical contact with her.
Mo Huiling was exhilarated. She quickly called for supper to be prepared. Her beautiful face brightened up.
Seeing how happy Mo Huiling was, Gu Jingze decided to go ahead and stay. He owed Mo Huiling too much. Thus, a small matter like this making Mo Huiling happy also alleviated some of his guilt.
Later, they ate their supper and returned to their respective rooms. Gu Jingze was completely uninterested. Mo Huiling wanted to ask him over and see if she could make him stay in her room. However, he never gave her the opportunity to ask and retreated to his own room.
Mo Huiling could only stomp her foot and go to her own room.
Gu Jingze really did not return home the whole night.
Lin Che went out to have her breakfast. There was only one plate of food on the table in the huge hall. She felt moody.
Even though there was just one less person, and there were so many servants walking around obliviously, the house suddenly felt empty to her like something was missing.
Soon enough, the company called and excitedly told her about an advertising job. She quickly rushed over.
When she arrived, Yu Minmin told her all the details about the advertisement. There would be a lot of viewers. With her endorsement, it would greatly expand her popularity as well.
However, she did not know that this good opportunity would lead her into her very first defamation plot…
