Lin Che was presented fresh flowers and she looked shyly at them. The staff quickly welcomed Gu Jingze. The two of them conversed in a language that Lin Che could not understand at all. Hearing Gu Jingze speak so fluently in a foreign language, she grew admiration for him. Although she could not understand what she heard, she thought that he was very good at it.
When everybody was seated in the car headed to the resort, Lin Che then spoke,
What were you guys talking about just now? What language did you speak? You sounded so fluent.
Gu Jingze replied,
I was just thanking them for their hospitality and things like that. I spoke French. Why?
You know how to speak French?
I went to learn when I was in France.
Then do you know English?
Of course. That’s a universal language.
What other languages do you know?
Lin Che asked as she stared at him with bright eyes.
Gu Jingze listed out,
Italian, Japanese, Russian, and German. I know a little of all these but when it comes to business conversations, I still need a professional translator.
Why did you learn so much? How do you have so much time?
Gu Jingze patted her cheeks in amusement,
You wouldn’t understand with that IQ of yours. The time you use to think about eating, watching TV and just doing whatever, I use it to learn stuff.
Lin Che pouted,
So boring!
Gu Jingze said,
Yes, it’s boring to people with an IQ like yours.
Get lost!
Gu Jingze could not help but laugh.
Lin Che said,
But with them making it so grand when your family comes here, is it because of the presidential treatment?
Gu Jingze said,
Your knowledge… When Big Brother wasn’t president, the Gu family always provided financial support during every presidential election. You can say that the Gu family has some weight in this area. Although we don’t explicitly say it, everyone knows internally.
So does that mean that the Gu family has a say in… who gets to be president for C country?
See, you’re not that dumb. You still can understand this.
Of course!
Lin Che added,
I may look dumb, but I’m actually super smart.
Gu Jingze laughed and looked at her, shaking his head helplessly.
She was super smart with this IQ?
Soon, the car stopped outside the resort.
The resort was huge and you could see the blue sea and sky in the distance. The villa was just beside the sea and you could immediately see it once you stepped out.
Mu Wanqing looked at the two of them and smiled. She said,
You two can stay at this villa. We’ll stay at the one behind. Anyway, we won’t disturb you two.
Lin Che quickly said,
You’re not disturbing us at all. I still want to stay closer to Mother.
Mu Wanqing replied,
It’s okay. Jingze will resent that. Actually, we shouldn’t have come this time. Since you two have a break together, you should have gone on a honeymoon. When you two got married, you never went on a honeymoon and never had a proper wedding ceremony. It’s all because of this Jingze who is always saying he’s busy.
Mu Wanqing grunted and glared at Gu Jingze.
Gu Jingze looked helplessly at Mu Wanqing. Lin Che noticed and quickly said,
Honeymoons and wedding ceremonies are not big deals anyway. I’m also rather busy anyway.
They had agreed that they would not hold a ceremony for their fake marriage in order to avoid trouble.
Mu Wanqing looked at the both of them,
Exactly. This may be a family gathering but you two can be by yourselves. We won’t disturb you.
There’s really no need…
Lin Che glanced at Gu Jingze and then quickly spoke to Mu Wanqing.
She wanted Gu Jingze to speak up and tell them that the two of them wanted to move around with the group, not by themselves.
However, Gu Jingze stood there without saying a word. He was as still as a log.
Mu Wanqing ushered the two of them and said,
Okay, you two can quickly go to your room. Don’t bother with us.
Mu Wanqing glanced at Gu Jingze as she spoke and then hurriedly left them.
Lin Che could not stop Mu Wanqing and could only watch her leave. She looked up at Gu Jingze resentfully and asked,
See? Why didn’t you do something?
Gu Jingze plainly said,
Enough. I usually don’t hang around people when I’m out. They already know my habits.
Lin Che still did not think that it was right,
But this is a family gathering after all. It’s not good to isolate ourselves.
Gu Jingze embraced Lin Che’s neck. Gu Jingze was so tall that if Lin Che lowered herself, she would be trapped in his armpit. They looked extremely intimate.
Gu Jingze said,
Relax, my mom won’t get angry. They want us to be together all the time even more.
He leaned closer and said,
So that we can give them a chubby grandchild.
Go to Hell,
Lin Che jabbed his waist.
Gu Jingze burst into laughter.
Lin Che continued,
Let go of me. Can you not hug me?
Don’t move. My mom is behind watching us. Shouldn’t a husband and wife be like this? What are you avoiding me for?
Gu Jingze still held onto her and refused to let go.
Lin Che only felt that it was hot in his embrace. Also, wasn’t this position a little too intimate?
However, hearing Gu Jingze say that, she lowered her eyes and stopped moving. She could only be hugged by Gu Jingze as they entered the villa together.
In the afternoon, the weather was good. The sea and sky were blue.
The sun was strong and tourists were in the distance playing on the beach but not a single person was near them. Because of the Gu family’s arrival, they had sectioned off a part of the beach to prevent anyone from getting close.
On the beach, Mu Wanqing saw that Gu Jingze was alone. She grabbed him and asked,
How are you and Lin Che getting along now?
Gu Jingze knew she would ask him such things,
Rather well.
Then why aren’t you taking the chance to have a kid?
Gu Jingze replied,
Mother, you can’t simply have a baby whenever you want. We will slowly work hard towards it.
Mu Wanqing said,
Why not? Are you two really working hard at it? You’re not bluffing me, right?
Gu Jingze looked ahead,
Of course we’re trying. If you don’t believe what I’m telling you, then I can’t help you. I can’t possibly arrange for you to view our efforts, right?
You silly boy, always going against me. I don’t believe what you said, but it’s only right if you two want to have a child. When it comes to your generation in this family, none of you want to try. Just look at your father and I. When we were your age, we would have been putting a lot more effort already. But none of you three brothers have this desire. Sigh.
Gu Jingze sighed,
Fine, fine, Mom. Don’t nag anymore, please. I’ll go back and work hard for three days and three nights consecutively, alright?
Mu Wanqing replied,
That’s more like it.
Just then, he heard people exclaiming from behind.
Gu Jingze turned around to look and saw Lin Che come out wearing her swimsuit.
Her delicate skin was wrapped in an olive bikini and the thin straps tied around her body. Her belly was flat and her chest was upright. She looked so charming and seductive, but also refreshing and adorable.
It was the exact bikini he picked that day.
