Gu Jingze grabbed her hand and slowly lowered it.
If it was only a natural desire for her, then why did it all disappear after hearing all these?
Gu Jingze looked plainly at her,
I’m sorry. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you.
Gu Jingze had indeed never really put himself in her shoes before.
Because he was affected by Chen Yucheng’s words and only thought about that one sentence, he only thought of wanting her and not understanding his own dilemma.
However, this was indeed unfair to her.
Gu Jingze said,
I promise you that as long as I haven’t properly understood myself, I won’t touch you like this again.
Lin Che halted and looked at Gu Jingze’s face. She felt extremely touched.
All men were creatures who followed what their lower bodies told them. But if he started thinking with his upper body for her… wouldn’t that mean that deep down, he still cared about her?
This small caring act already made her heart very happy.
She was actually very easy to please. Just a tiny bit of effort moved her.
But if you’re angry because of Mo Huiling’s gift to me, I can tell you…
Gu Jingze stepped aside and pulled out a box.
There were countless boxes of all sizes inside. Lin Che was stunned.
Looking at these pretty packages, Lin Che asked,
What are all these? They look like they’ve never been opened.
Gu Jingze looked at the dust that collected on them and said to Lin Che,
Some were opened but others stayed closed. All these are gifts from Huiling throughout the years.
Lin Che looked in wonder,
Why did you dump them all in here?
Gu Jingze said,
Huiling would give me many presents every year but I have no use for them. I don’t have the time to manage them either. She kept giving more and more without caring if I used them or not. Thus, I could only put them all in here. The one that you saw was just because I haven’t had the time to put it here.
In that case, Mo Huiling actually never really cared. She didn’t take note of whether he needed those things and continued giving. She didn’t even care if he would reject them and just sent them over. If he refused, she would get upset for a long time and insisted that he no longer liked her.
She was a little too self-centered.
Lin Che still could not quite comprehend,
Wow, all these are very expensive. And they are gifts. You are too…
Gu Jingze continued,
At the beginning, I would give her a proper reply every time. Eventually, I realized that I was wasting too much time as I was always so busy especially during that period. I kept going overseas for business. I was practically spending my days in a plane and I had no time to return the favor. I could only chuck them in here and wait for when I had the time to handle it.
Lin Che thought that this Mo Huiling was too scary.
How much did she spend on all those things?
But this was a wealthy person. That was the difference compared to a poor person.
Lin Che wanted to give but she didn’t have a lot of money and giving should be done with the heart. As long as she was thoughtful, there was no need to constantly give. Buying some everyday item or something useful would have sufficed.
Lin Che saw several tie clips, bracelets, ties, shoes, and almost every other thing inside.
She could immediately tell that these were branded goods. Anyone would have been envious.
You have a girlfriend like this; if anyone saw, you don’t know how envious they would be.
What girlfriend?
Gu Jingze asked with a straight face.
Lin Che looked at him,
Isn’t she your girlfriend? She spent so much on you. All these here are worth a lot.
Gu Jingze said,
At the start, I was happy too. But afterward, I realized that she continued giving me things when she saw that I was happy. The more she gave, the less meaningful they became. She only needed to ask someone to buy on her behalf and I don’t exactly need all these. I guess I no longer anticipated them eventually.
Lin Che thought that it was indeed the heart that mattered when giving. Otherwise, if it became such a norm that it lost its meaning.
Gu Jingze frowned at Lin Che,
And who said she’s my girlfriend?
Lin Che looked at him strangely,
Why not?
Gu Jingze said,
Actually, from the very beginning, I already told her that she could go find another man after I got married. But she just wasn’t willing to. And I already made it clear to her that I am a man with a wife. I cannot have an intimate relationship with her anymore. She stopped being my girlfriend a long time ago.
Lin Che’s jaw dropped in shock.
She didn’t expect him to suddenly say all these.
He already made it clear to Mo Huiling?
Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes at Lin Che,
Don’t tell me you really thought that I was that bad of a person?
I thought you said that we will divorce sooner or later, so you could continue that kind of relationship with her.
I’m telling the truth. I don’t want to lead Huiling on and I don’t want to embarrass you. If I continued being intimate with her like before, how would other people look at you? Don’t worry. I won’t do that to you.
Lin Che was so grateful that she didn’t know what to say.
He was truly a very good man.
Or perhaps, she was too easily satisfied.
She honestly thought that they were still a couple and her position was so awkward that she could die. Now, she felt a lot better. Him thinking about her was already enough to move her.
Lin Che blurted,
Gu Jingze… I… Why not…
Looking down below, she blushed and said,
I can use my hands to help you… Otherwise, it might be too uncomfortable for you to endure like this.
Gu Jingze thought he had heard wrong.
But he didn’t.
He looked at her red face. Because she took the initiative and suggested it herself, his body stopped listening to him and swelled up again.
He wanted to say no but his body had already betrayed his thoughts.
Lin Che was too moved, so she blurted it out in that moment. But looking at Gu Jingze’s bulge below, she started to regret it.
Gu Jingze said,
Wear that for me to see. Can you do that?
Lin Che turned to look and felt even more embarrassed.
The clothes he was referring to was part of the
tools
that Shen Youran sent over. There was a lot of fabric but it was the type that clung to the body.
Give Gu Jingze an inch and he will take a mile.
However, Lin Che looked and was spurred on by his words. She didn’t even think and agreed to it…
In the bathroom.
Gu Jingze unbuttoned a part of his pajamas and sat on the bed. He could not keep still. After a while, he heard the bathroom door open and quickly looked over.
Lin Che was trying to cover her important parts. It was not revealing but she looked even more sexy like that.
His eyes moved as he stared at her. The appreciation in his eyes became engulfed by desire…
