Yang Lingxin's gaze swept across the room. Behind her, Yu Minmin pulled out a light yellow gown and said, "I think this looks good. It's very elegant and not too eye-catching. It should be a good choice for going out to meet family."
Lin Che looked at it and thought it looked good too. He quickly pulled it out and tried it on.
She put on the light yellow dress and looked a lot brighter. Yu Minmin smiled from behind and said, "Actually, you look good in anything, especially with your fair skin."
Yang Lingxin also smiled and looked at her. "That's right, Sister Che. You're really pretty. No wonder President Gu dotes on you so much."
Yu Minmin said, "President Gu dotes on Lin Che because they are husband and wife. Moreover, President Gu really likes her. What does it have to do with her beauty?"
Yang Lingxin hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Sister Che. I didn't mean it that way."
Lin Che smiled. "Don't be so serious. I was just joking."
After choosing their clothes, it was almost time. The three of them left together. When they were outside, Lin Che asked someone to send the two of them back first. He had to take a car to the place they had agreed on.
Yang Lingxin and Yu Minmin left in the bodyguard's car. She turned back and looked at the house that was getting further and further away. After a long while, she finally looked away.

In the restaurant.
Gu Jingze arrived first and saw that Gu Jingyan was already sitting there. However, there was someone else beside her. It wasn't her boyfriend, Lu Beichen, but a girl who looked a little familiar.
Gu Jingze glanced at the girl and called out, "Jingyan."
Gu Jingyan stood up and said, "Second Brother, you're early. Where's Sister-in-law?"
"Not yet." Gu Jingze was a man of few words. He just sat down and replied.
The girl beside Gu Jingyan stared at Gu Jingze for a while before saying, "Ah, Jingze, don't you recognize me? You didn't even greet me when you saw me."
Gu Jingze raised his head and looked at her. "You are …"
The girl said unhappily, "You really forgot about me. I used to go to your house to play when I was young!"
Gu Jingyan smiled and said, "Second Brother, she's Lu Chuxia, Beichen's sister. Have you forgotten?"
Gu Jingze suddenly remembered. "It's you."
"Yeah, I thought you really forgot about me." Lu Chuxia smiled at Gu Jingze, her eyes sparkling.
Knowing that it was her, Gu Jingze was no longer as cold as he looked at her. He smiled and said, "How could I forget you? After all, you're my savior."
Hearing this, she laughed. "It's good that you know!"
Gu Jingyan suddenly remembered something. "Oh yeah, I remember when we went to the Arctic Ocean together. We were ambushed by other countries. It was really dangerous. It was Chuxia who pushed you into the water. That's why you weren't killed."
Gu Jingze smiled and nodded, "That's right."
Gu Jingyan said, "After that, the security measures were much tighter. You didn't have as much freedom as before. But it was really dangerous. It's better for you to take more people with you."
Gu Jingze said, "Thank you. But I was still young then. Now that you've grown up, I didn't recognize you. I'm really sorry."
"Yeah, we haven't seen each other for a few years. Not only have I changed, but you've changed too. I was just talking to Jingyan about you. Now … I didn't expect you to marry someone other than Mo Huiling."
Her gaze lingered on his face and she looked at him deeply.
Gu Jingze said, "The world is unpredictable."
"But I also heard from Jingyan that you were forced to get married by your families."
Gu Jingze calmly picked up his tea and took a sip. He glanced at Gu Jingyan.
Jing Yan quickly said, "She's my future sister-in-law. I have to please her."
Lu Chuxia smiled and said, "Yeah, we'll be a family in the future."
Gu Jingze stood up. "I'll go and see if Lin Che is here."
The two watched Gu Jingze leave. Lu Chuxia said, "It seems like your Second Brother doesn't want to see me."
Gu Jingyan said, "How can that be? My Second Brother has always been like this. It's not like you don't know."
"I know, but … your sister-in-law seems to be an actress?" She looked at Gu Jingyan and asked.
Gu Jingyan said, "Yeah, she's an actress. What's wrong?"
Lu Chuxia said, "Nothing. I just didn't expect your family to agree to their marriage."
"My family doesn't care about that. Plus, it's a special case for Er Ge. Sister-in-law is also a nice person. We all like her. After she came, the house became much livelier." Gu Jingyan really liked Lin Che, so she didn't hold back on her praises. "What's more, it's a special case for Er Ge.
"I only remember that Gu Jingze was only with Mo Huiling before. I thought that he was such a loyal person that he would never let go of Mo Huiling. I didn't expect him to marry someone else. It seems like he doesn't really love Mo Huiling that much."
"What are you trying to say?" Gu Jingyan looked at her and asked.
Lu Chuxia said, "What if I say that I want to pursue your Second Brother?"
"Pfft, forget it." Gu Jingyan almost spat. "My Second Brother is so old-fashioned. You want to pursue him? Are you crazy? Besides, he's already married. "
"They don't really love each other. They might get divorced one day. Love is free. I've liked your Second Brother for a long time, but I always thought that I wouldn't have a chance. Now that he has broken up with Mo Huiling, why wouldn't he choose me? After all, we're a good match. Plus, we know each other. It's better than a stranger that we haven't known for long. Don't you think so?"
Gu Jingyan shook her head. "Whatever you say. But I don't think you can get him."
"How would you know? You and my brother never thought that you could get together. But now, you're getting married."
Gu Jingyan paused. Her expression was stiff. She didn't smile for a long time.
Lu Chuxia said, "Alright, my future sister-in-law. You're getting married soon. My brother's previous girlfriend is in the past. Don't worry about it anymore."
Gu Jingyan raised her head and looked at Lu Chuxia. "Some people will never be in the past. Maybe you don't understand this now, but maybe you will understand in the future."
Lu Chuxia said, "Where there's a will, there's a way. Moreover, I'm competing fairly."
She looked at the time. "It's getting late. I'll leave first. I won't keep you from eating."
Gu Jingyan looked at Lu Chuxia. Actually, she could understand that people like her were overconfident.
Perhaps it was because she had never lost anything since she was young, but being too confident and stubborn … wasn't a good thing. However, her advice to Lu Chuxia was probably useless. As someone who had been through it, she understood that Lu Chuxia always thought she was invincible if she had never hit a wall.
She said, "If you want to pursue my Second Brother, don't you want to look at my little sister-in-law first?"
"It's okay. What happens to her has nothing to do with me. I care about your second brother, not her."
With that, she picked up her bag and turned to leave.
