Gu Jingze looked at his hand. He hadn't expected that he would hit her.
He had been furious just now. It was as if a ball of fire had ignited in his heart, making his entire body angry.
He couldn't help but slap her.
Gu Jingze stood there and stared at her.
Mo Huiling bit her lip and glared at Gu Jingze. "Gu Jingze, I've worked for you for so many years. How dare you hit me for another woman! You didn't even bear to hurt me once, and your heart ached when I was touched. How dare you hit me now … "
After saying that, Mo Huiling directly bumped out from between the two of them, crying as she ran outside.
Lin Che watched Mo Huiling go out. When she turned back, Gu Jingze was still standing there with an ugly expression on his face. Lin Che felt so awkward that she didn't know how to deal with it.
After all, this was between the two of them. But it had happened because of her.
She looked at Gu Jingze and moved slowly. She held her hair and said with difficulty, "Gu Jingze, are you okay? I'm sorry, I … "
Gu Jingze heard Lin Che's voice. He lowered his head and grabbed her hand. Luckily, the soup wasn't hot. It was just a little red.
Gu Jingze waved for a servant to come over.
"Go get the medicine for the burn."
Lin Che wanted to say that she was fine. She didn't feel anything. She just felt embarrassed.
But looking at Gu Jingze's gloomy expression, she didn't say anything.
Gu Jingze lowered his head, pulled her hand up, and applied the medicine for her.
"Go change your clothes."
Lin Che then remembered that her clothes were still in a mess.
She nodded and went to change. When she came out, Gu Jingze was already sitting there quietly, eating his unfinished dinner.
But the atmosphere in the dining room seemed to have fallen to the bottom, making people feel very uncomfortable.
Lin Che walked over and said with her head lowered, "Gu Jingze, I'm sorry …"
Gu Jingze looked up at Lin Che. "It's not your fault."
"But …"
"It's my fault. It's not your fault." Gu Jingze put down his chopsticks and said, "She did something wrong. No matter what, she shouldn't have done that. But I really shouldn't have hit her. I'm just a little annoyed. I've never been a person who hits others. I was too impulsive just now and couldn't control myself."
Gu Jingze never thought of himself as an impulsive or irrational person. However, when he saw the soup in Mo Huiling's hands pour onto Lin Che's body, Gu Jingze really didn't know what was wrong with him. He couldn't control himself. This was something that had never happened before. It was hard for him to accept.
He had never hit anyone before, not to mention a woman and Mo Huiling.
He was not a saint, but he never had to do anything himself.
Gu Jingze looked up. "I should be the one apologizing. Are you okay?"
Lin Che hurriedly patted himself, "Of course I'm fine."
Gu Jingze nodded and walked upstairs.
The balcony on the third floor was very big, and the flowers and plants were beautifully tended by the gardeners.
Lin Che followed Gu Jingze up and saw Gu Jingze standing behind the railing, alone outside.
Knowing that he was in a bad mood, Lin Che's mood also became bad. She walked over with a deep sense of guilt. If it weren't for her, perhaps Gu Jingze wouldn't have quarreled with Mo Huiling.
"Gu Jingze, you …" She suddenly said, "Let me ask you a simple math question."
Seeing that Gu Jingze didn't turn around, Lin Che said, "This is elementary school math. The question is, a man takes five minutes to bathe, and a woman takes half an hour to bathe. Then, how long does it take for a man and a woman to bathe together?"
Gu Jingze's shoulders stiffened. He was still puzzled.
Lin Che laughed and said, "Xiaoming replied, 'Idiot, of course it's half an hour. Does bathing together overlap?' Xiao Hua said, 'Idiot, the length of the bath depends on how long the man can last!'"
Gu Jingze couldn't help but burst into laughter. He turned around and looked at Lin Che, whose face was slightly red from laughing.
He understood the meaning of the joke and thought speechlessly, 'What an idiot.'
However, the next moment, he grabbed Lin Che and said, "Come, come here."
Lin Che was stunned. She felt him pulling her wrist and bringing her into his embrace.
Lin Che's head rested on his shoulder. His hand gently caressed her back. Then, he lowered his head, closed his eyes, and smelled the fragrance in her hair. Lin Che wanted to move, but she heard him say softly in her ear, "Don't move. Let me hug you for a while."
Lin Che froze there. She was a little stiff from being hugged by him. She could still feel his hand on her back, gently caressing her. The heat of his large palm made her feel warm for a moment. There wasn't the slightest feeling of lust. Just hugging her like this made her feel so good. For a moment, it was as if time had frozen here, and she didn't want to let go …
Gu Jingze hugged her. He felt as if she had a strange medicinal effect. Not long after, his heart calmed down and he didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
However, he still wanted to hug her, as if he was greedy for her scent. He lowered his head and took deep breaths. He was getting more and more addicted, and he couldn't bear to let go.
Lin Che felt that he was still not moving and thought that he was really in a bad mood. She sighed and said lightly, "If you're worried about her, you can call her and ask. Actually, you should have chased after her just now. It's quite dangerous for her to leave like this, and she'll definitely be very angry. But actually, it's just a matter of coaxing a woman. It depends on your attitude. Women are still very soft-hearted."
Gu Jingze slightly let go of Lin Che. Looking at her serious face, he said speechlessly, "You're still giving me advice about relationships?"
"Yeah." Lin Che didn't want to see Gu Jingze in a bad mood.
Gu Jingze said, "Silly."
He lightly flicked her forehead. "Silly. Actually, I'm not in a bad mood because she's angry."
"What?" Wasn't it? Lin Che looked at him strangely. What was the reason then?
Gu Jingze said, "I'm in a bad mood because I can't control my emotions. This is my fault. I should have been able to control myself, but I don't know what happened at that time."
It was actually because of this …
Lin Che looked at him speechlessly. "Why did you …"
Gu Jingze silently raised his head and looked at Lin Che. He felt that she was the reason why he was so impulsive.
Because Lin Che was actually so fierce to Mo Huiling.
He really felt that it was a little unreasonable. Looking deeply at Lin Che's little face, he said, "Lin Che, I feel that I …"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Gu Jingze's cell phone rang.
It was Mo Huiling's number.
Gu Jingze frowned and pressed the call button. However, he heard that it wasn't Mo Huiling's voice …
