The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

An Lan looked at Gu Jingze indignantly. "You… How am I worse than Lin Che? Tell me, in what way am I not as good as her?"

Gu Jingze looked at her. "I have nothing against you. So, it's not because you can't compare to her."

"Then what's the reason?"

"In my eyes, all the women in the world can't compare to her."

An Lan's face crumpled once again. How? How could he treat a woman so well?

An Lan felt even more strongly that it was truly impossible to find another man like him.

It was the same for all the men whom she knew, whom she had met, who had power and influence. Whether they were abroad or in the country, every man kept a few mistresses outside.

No matter how well they treated their own wives at home, they would definitely have a few other women outside for them to play around with.

But this man… now that there was an opportunity before him and she was standing right in front of him, and his wife may not even find out, he was nevertheless saying that Lin Che was the only person in his heart.

An Lan looked at him. "It's not as if she will see us now."

Gu Jingze looked at her. "But apart from my wife, I feel nothing towards any other woman. So… even if you force me to do it, I won't feel anything for you at all."

"You…"

An Lan was genuinely hurt. She could not believe that he had said he had no feelings for her…

An Lan said furiously, "Fine, fine. I want to see if you'll really feel nothing. Hmph."

She was truly very, very jealous of Lin Che.

If it were the usual situation, when Lin Che was around, then there was a possibility that he was pretending. But at a time like this, there was no need for him to lie at all. Furthermore, being with her was advantageous to him. It was also in his interest to please her. But he still refused to do it.

How could he be such a good man?

What was she to do? The better he was, the more An Lan liked him.

Gu Jingze sat there quietly.

He had analyzed the situation for the past few days. Those people had made use of his illness and had deliberately created a weapon. Using material made out of fiber that mimicked women, they had created something to deal with him.

He had known early on that someone would make use of these things one day, but he had not expected this day to arrive like this.

That person had to have a certain level of understanding of his illness. Thus, no matter how he thought about it, it was definitely someone involved in the Gu family's internal affairs who had done this.

He narrowed his eyes and looked outside.

Lin Che, wait for me. Wait for me to go out…

Outside.

It was truly the first time Lin Che was experiencing how busy Gu Jingze usually was.

The documents piled up like a mountain. How Lin Che wished she had eight pairs of eyes and eight brains to remember these numbers.

Fortunately, although Gu Jingze was not here, Qin Hao and his other trusted aides were extremely hard working and stayed by Lin Che's side, helping her deal with all these matters.

Lin Che sighed. "There are way too many things to deal with in the Gu family. Does Gu Jingze usually have this many things to deal with?"

Qin Hao said, "Sir has more things to deal with than these."

"Huh? Even more than these?"

"We took into account the fact that you can't deal with too many things because you've just started and you aren't used to it yet. Thus, we shifted some less important matters for you to deal with later. There are also some trivial matters that the subordinates settled on their own. Usually, Sir would oversee those matters on his own."

"Good gracious…" Lin Che thought to herself that Gu Jingze really had things tough.

Qin Hao said, "But Sir is different from ordinary people after all. He has a quality that all of us admire greatly. No matter how many documents he looks at, Sir can remember everything. That's why he's faster at handling things."

Indeed. There was a myriad of things to deal with. They could be as trivial as changes of personnel in the company and as major as project management, or the movement of hundreds of millions in funds. It was very easy to forget.

"Is that so? Is Gu Jingze that impressive?" Lin Che said.

Qin Hao said, "Sir can remember every decimal point to the clearest after seeing it once. I still remember being very surprised back then. When I first started working with Sir, I thought that he relied on the 20 to 30 secretaries outside to handle things. I didn't think that he could finish looking through a huge stack of documents within an afternoon. We thought that he merely skimmed through the documents, but he was able to recite all those hundred-million figures right away. It was only then that I found out Sir is truly different from ordinary people. He has unparalleled memory and can basically remember everything he reads."

Lin Che said, "How incredible."

She sighed. In comparison, she fell far short.

When she looked down at the documents, she heard the door open all of a sudden. Seeing that it was Gu Shinian who had walked in, Lin Che immediately asked, "Why are you here?"

"Mother, Third Uncle said that you had your hands full here. I can also look through these documents."

Lin Che said, "You still have to go to school."

"School has already ended. If there's anything, I can help you take a look."

"There are so many uncles and aunts helping me out."

Qin Hao said, "Madam, Sir was already handling the company's affairs when he was six. If Little Young Master has that capability, we don't mind letting him take a look first. We can just treat it as a form of training for him."

Lin Che looked at Gu Shinian.

Gu Shinian added, "Mother, even Uncle Qin said so."

Lin Che said, "Alright, alright. From today onwards, you can come here but you must be obedient. Don't be too rash and impulsive. There must always be people supervising you. You must listen carefully to what the uncles and aunts say. Don't do things of your own accord, alright?"

"Yes, Mother. Don't worry. We'll wait together for Father to return. I won't let Father see that I've messed things up completely when he comes back."

Lin Che's eyes moistened.

Niannian was really becoming more and more sensible.

By the time Lin Che had settled matters here, it was already close to midnight.

Afterward, she still had to settle matters over at the studio.

Yu Minmin knew that she had a very special situation on her hands, so she had taken special care to make proper arrangements in relation to the studio.

By this time, night had approached quietly. An Lan also made her move.

That night, she stealthily arrived at Gu Jingze's room.

The medicine she had given him also had ingredients that caused drowsiness. She thought that Gu Jingze was probably in deep sleep right now.

When she made her way over, she saw Gu Jingze lying down peacefully. Moonlight shone on his cold face. In the dark night, his brow was furrowed deeply as if he was dreaming about something. His beautiful eyes were shut tightly. His eyeballs moved under his lids, causing his long and thick lashes to tremble faintly as well.

An Lan admired his beautiful body under the moonlight. How she wished she could throw herself on him right now.

She looked down at her own body that she had gotten ready. Then, she pulled off the nightgown she was wearing.

Underneath, she was dressed in sensual lingerie made of smooth silk. It fit her snugly and was cool and soft.

She gently shrugged off the lingerie, which immediately fell to the ground.

There was nothing inside at all…

She thought to herself that she simply did not believe that a man could reject such temptation.

On top of that…

He was still asleep right now.

She walked over to him reached out her hand to caress him gently. She touched his firm skin through his clothes. This was enough to make it even more difficult for her to bear.

However, at this moment…
