The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next day, Lin Che opened her eyes to unfamiliar surroundings. It took her a few minutes to remember that she was now married.

But where was her husband?

She jumped off the bed. Everything on the couch had been returned to its original place, but the person on it was nowhere to be found.

Lin Che left the room and went to the dining room. The maid bowed to her from the side. “Madam, I’ll lead you to the dining room.”

The moment she arrived, she saw Gu Jingze bathed in sunlight. She walked over with light footsteps.

His emotionless expression immediately lowered the temperature throughout the dining room by a few degrees.

His well-defined body appeared even more upright in a suit. Without clothes, his body was muscular, only to appear leaner with clothes on. His face, which could make any woman heave a sigh, and his mysterious, dignified gaze made Lin Che’s brow rise slightly after just a simple glance.

“Hi. Good morning,” she walked over to greet him.

However, Gu Jingze simply raised his eyebrows and looked her once over. The casual clothes she was wearing had been prepared by the maids. They flattered and accentuated her figure. Gu Jingze lowered his head in silence. With his bony fingers, he reached for the white ceramic coffee cup on the table. He did not raise his head again.

How cold and distant…

Lin Che pouted and sat down.

Throughout the meal, they did not interact at all. When they left, the maid looked at Lin Che’s unhappy face and said anxiously, “Madam, Sir is not a bad person. Sometimes he’s just grumpy in the morning, especially if he didn’t get a good night’s rest.”

Lin Che asked, “He didn’t sleep well last night?”

The maid replied, “Yes. Sir woke up in the middle of the night and went to the study room to sleep, so he didn’t sleep well.”

Lin Che opened her mouth slightly in surprise and was at a loss for words.

She came to a realization after thinking about it.

He had been forced to marry her because of the accident. Understandably, he probably felt uncomfortable, especially when he loved another woman. It was unlikely he felt happy sleeping with her in the same room.

Sighing, she thought to herself. Gu Jingze is also pitiable; he’s an unusually privileged person, but he’s afflicted with such a strange illness.

Putting it this way, it was because she had carelessly mistaken him for someone else that he lost the woman he loved and had to marry her instead. She suddenly felt as if she had separated a pair of lovebirds and began to blame herself.

…

Lin Che packed up in preparation to go to the company. On her way out, she saw a group of people walking out noisily. When she looked more closely, she saw Gu Jingze leading them. His tall and lean figure made her think of a crane standing among chickens. His neatly tailored pants wrapped around his long legs which made large strides that were especially smooth and elegant. His gait diminished some of the aloofness in his eyes while his stern figure carried a slight indifference. An aura of calm authority could be naturally felt. He unhurriedly stepped through the double doors and seemed like he was about to leave.

Lin Che chased after him in a hurry.

“Wait for me. Wait for me.”

Gu Jingze’s austere expression changed upon hearing her chatter. His eyebrows knitted together.

He turned his head to see Lin Che wearing a flattering dress cinched at the waist. She was running towards him like a madman. His brow furrowed even more.

However, her flailing black hair accentuated her white skin so that it seemed like snow. It made her appear cleaner and tidier. He drew in a long breath, turned his gaze away, and continued walking out.

“Take me along, Gu Jingze. I’m going to the company.”

“I’ll get someone to send you there,” he said curtly while looking straight ahead.

“Oh… Okay. You can just bring me to the bus stop. There’s no need to waste a car on me.”

Gu Jingze frowned. “The Gu family is not so poor that their Madam has to save money on transport by taking the public bus.”

His gaze rested on her face and after some contemplation, he said, “Get in.”

Hearing this, Lin Che quickly stumbled after Gu Jingze, eager to save two dollars.

Gu Jingze’s car was huge. It was not the car that they had taken yesterday. Inside, the seats were made of leather and had a fresh smell to them. Gu Jingze looked down at the marks that her shoes had left and frowned, “Why are your shoes so dirty?”
