After Lin Che returned home from the studio, Gu Jingze was still busy and hadn't returned.
He heard that the closer the year was to the end of the year, the more things there were to do in the office.
He didn't even have time to rest.
Lin Che was watching TV at home and saw that the Spring Festival Gala was at its final rehearsal. Qin Wanwan's figure was on the TV. This made Qin Wanwan, who had been quiet for a few days, once again become the focus of attention.
Among a bunch of old faces, a new face was of course very noticeable.
In the news, it was probably a press release from Qin Wanwan's team, which made Qin Wanwan sound like she was about to enter the A-list.
Later, it was Xin Xiaoyuan, who was also from Lin Che's company, who would also be participating in the Spring Festival Gala.
When she was interviewed, she kept saying that she had participated in the gala a few times, but she still felt very honored. Knowing that she was from the same company as Lin Che, the reporters asked her how she felt about the younger generation in the company, especially Lin Che.
Xin Xiaoyuan seized the opportunity and said directly, "Oh, I only know that she and Gu Jingyu are very close, right? With Gu Jingyu taking care of her, she shouldn't be too bad. The two of them are very close, but she recently took a leave and won't be participating during the Spring Festival. I don't know why she suddenly took a leave, but I don't know if there's something wrong with her body."
This was supposed to be nothing, but not long after the report came out, there was a rumor on the Internet that Lin Che, who hadn't been out for a few days, might be pregnant and was resting at home.
Lin Che wanted to curse.
He saw that it was posted by a Weibo verified account, saying that someone had revealed that Lin Che was indeed resting and had canceled all her activities. The company's big sister had also confirmed that she had taken a leave from the company.
The verified account even made a very suggestive guess. Whose child could it be?
The few people who had worked with her before were listed, including Gu Jingyu.
Among them, everyone knew that Gu Jingyu was the one who had the closest relationship with her.
So in just half a day, everyone started guessing that Lin Che was pregnant with Gu Jingyu's child.
Are you kidding me?
Can't you let me rest properly?
Yu Minmin quickly called Lin Che. Although she was resting, Yu Minmin didn't have a holiday, nor did she take the initiative to take a vacation. She was still working in the company.
Lin Che said, "What the hell are those people doing? How did I get pregnant out of nowhere?"
Yu Minmin had no choice but to say, "We've already released a statement saying that you're not pregnant. This should be Xin Xiaoyuan's doing. She wants to defame you and Gu Jingyu for having an illicit relationship. She wants to say that you two have an underground relationship or something like that."
She had indeed seen many people saying that she had given birth to Gu Jingyu's illegitimate child on purpose. She had relied on Gu Jingyu to climb up to the top, and now that she was hugging his thigh, she even wanted to give birth to his child …
"Are you saying that I sold my body to get here?" Lin Che was speechless.
Yu Minmin was also speechless. "Alright, you go ahead with your work. The Gu family will be very busy at the end of the year. Come out in the afternoon and let's pose for a photo. Tell everyone that you're fine and can't go out because you're pregnant. Remember not to wear that fat down jacket of yours. It's just that people are saying that you're covering up your belly on purpose. Can you wear something a little more revealing today?"
Lin Che could only twitch his lips and agree.
When she went out, she purposely wore a beautiful, tight-fitting outfit. She didn't wear a jacket on such a cold day, and she still had to look good on the road.
Lin Che cursed Xin Xiaoyuan in his heart. He thought that he must have said a few words to her during the annual meeting, which made her hate him.
After putting on a pose with much difficulty, Gu Jingze called to say that he had recovered and was coming to pick her up to go to the Gu residence for the New Year.
When Gu Jingze came from afar, he saw Lin Che shivering in thin clothes. His heart sank. He quickly got out of the car and walked to Lin Che's side. "What are you doing?"
Lin Che said, "There's a son of a b * tch on the Internet saying that I'm pregnant. I … I'm here to prove that I'm not pregnant. Ah Qiu …" As she said that, she sneezed on Gu Jingze's face, spraying saliva all over it.
"…"
Gu Jingze gritted his teeth and looked at her. "Lin Che!"
She was so stupid. How could she not sneeze when she was wearing so little?
He took off his jacket with one hand and put it on her. With the other hand, he covered her body. "I'm still far from being pregnant, right?" He looked down at her flat stomach and smiled. "Some people are already looking forward to it? Does that mean … we should work harder? "
Lin Che's face darkened. "Who wants to have a child with you!"
Gu Jingze smiled and wrapped his arms around Lin Che. He felt her hair rubbing against his face. He turned around and smiled. He felt that her hair was really soft. It only tickled his face, but it didn't sting at all.
After entering the Gu residence, Lin Che saw that the atmosphere of the New Year had suddenly become more intense. Because the surroundings were decorated in a festive manner, it suddenly looked like the New Year.
The older he got, the more he felt that the New Year was boring. Looking at it now, he seemed to recall the feeling of the New Year when he was young.
Lin Che said, "I haven't seen such lanterns in a long time. Your house is so beautiful."
Gu Jingze said, "Really?" He didn't think much of it in the past. It was probably because it was done every year and he was already used to it.
Lin Che reached out to touch the small lantern. "When I was young, I loved the New Year too. Every year when it was time, I would paste couplets and buy firecrackers with the nanny. I was very happy when my father gave me a red packet at night. I was very happy, but then …"
Lin Che paused. Her little face looked a little self-deprecating.
Gu Jingze looked down at her. "What's wrong?"
"My father always gave me a red packet of ten yuan. I thought that was a huge sum of money. After I grew up, I realized that he gave Lin Li and Lin Li thousands of yuan. The ten yuan he gave me was the same as the red packet he gave the nanny. So I didn't look forward to the New Year anymore."
Gu Jingze looked at her and his eyes slowly darkened.
He seemed to be thinking about something and didn't speak for a long time.
Lin Che said, "But my father might not be so cruel. It was my aunt who didn't allow him to give it to me. After all, I'm just an illegitimate child."
Gu Jingze said, "Let's go in. Oh yeah, why did someone say that you're pregnant today?"
"I get angry when I talk about it. An idiot from the company said that I'm pregnant. I'm such a young and beautiful person, but they said that I'm pregnant. There must have been some conflict during the last meal. Really …"
Gu Jingze's eyes flashed and he nodded.
He didn't say anything and led her into the newly decorated living room.
Inside, Mu Wanqing was chatting and eating with her family. There were really a lot of people in the Gu family. Until now, Lin Che hadn't really recognized all of them. However, probably because of Gu Jingze's status and ability, everyone became polite when they saw the two of them enter. In an instant, the two of them became the focus of the family.
