When she got nervous, she simply forgot about the fact that her stomach was still hurting. During the performance, she flew downwards on the wire as if she was descending from heaven. After landing, she only felt the bright lights shining all around her. She could not even see the audience down below and could only follow the rhythm to sing.
She was just here to sing as an accompaniment. Most of the parts were still sung by the male singer. Her singing skills were really not good enough. They were merely enough to meet a karaoke standard, so the only thing that she could do was hum along with him.
She finally finished singing with a lot of difficulties. After getting off stage, Lin Che even patted her chest.
Next time, don’t ever ask me to come sing. It was seriously too terrifying.

From the side, the male singer who had collaborated with her smiled.
The one who was terrified was definitely me. You were so out of pitch that even I found it frightening.


That’s mean. Anyway, you’re around to carry the performance. I know how capable you are, so I can just depend on you,
Lin Che said hastily.


The male singer was very easy-going. Upon hearing her say this, he was very gracious as well.
Alright. At least we still completed the performance. The fact that you tried and didn’t lip-sync it is already pretty impressive.

Thereafter, Lin Che also watched Qin Wanwan sing for a little while. She and Gu Jingyu appeared on stage together in order to create hype for their television series. The song that they sang was also the theme song of the television series, so it caused quite a stir at the scene.
Below the stage, Lin Che said,
Qin Wanwan sang really well… I’m done for. My image. It’s all Gu Jingyu’s fault. For no reason, he made me attend this…

Yu Minmin said,
Forget it. You’re an actress. Who cares whether you sing well or not? Let’s go. It’s good enough that you attended this event and got some exposure.

However, Lin Che’s stomach began to start hurting. She sat there and said,
I can’t take it anymore. I feel like my stomach is about to hurt to death.

As she said this, Lin Che was already sitting there but could not get up.
Shocked, Yu Minmin said frantically,
What happened? Let me take a look.

Lin Che said,
Give Gu Jingze a call… Tell him my stomach hurts…

Yu Minmin held up Lin Che’s phone. She still felt a little uncomfortable when she thought about calling Gu Jingze. However, as she saw that Lin Che was really in pain, she quickly called Gu Jingze.
In no time, Gu Jingze picked up the phone. As per normal, he asked into the phone,
Have you already finished the event? Do you want me to pick you up?



Yu Minmin quickly said,
President Gu, Lin Che’s stomach hurts terribly. We don’t know what happened.

At the other end of the line, Gu Jingze stayed silent for a few seconds. Then, he said firmly,
I’ll go and pick her up.

He proceeded to simply hang up the phone.
Then, everyone was still discussing going out together that night to have fun as a Christmas Eve celebration. However, Lin Che had already left without a sound.
When Qin Wanwan came out to look for Lin Che, she discovered that she had already disappeared.
She was still muttering to herself over there,
All of them ran away so quickly, one by one. Seriously, am I the only lonely person who’s looking for someone to spend Christmas Eve with me?

A staff member at the side said,
You didn’t see what happened. Earlier, a very luxurious car came to pick her up. Its manner was extraordinarily imposing. With one look, you could tell that it was no ordinary person. There was a crowd of bodyguards following behind the car and they took her away immediately. It looked like she was feeling unwell. She’s quite professional as well. Before this, she just held on without saying a single word. When they came, they carried her away straightaway.

Qin Wanwan felt very perplexed after hearing this. She knew that Lin Che had said earlier that her period was causing trouble, so it was perhaps due to that reason that her stomach hurt.
However, who came to pick her up?
She looked all over the place once again but did not see Gu Jingyu. She thought to herself that maybe it was Gu Jingyu. After all, the Gu family’s capabilities were clear to everyone. Even if Gu Jingyu brought a crowd of people to pick her up, it was normal too.


In the car, Lin Che’s pain was clear on her face. Gu Jingze wrapped her tightly in his embrace as she asked in a daze,
Where are we going?

Gu Jingze said,
To the hospital. Don’t move.


Actually, there’s no need… it’s just painful…


Stay still. Don’t move. We’re almost there. You’re in extreme pain.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che’s expression and frowned as he thought to himself. In the past, it never used to hurt so badly. Was it possible that she had moved around too much because she had to rush to attend this event and so it caused this pain?
Lin Che leaned against his chest and raised her head to look at him. Although she felt that she was being a little greedy, at this moment, she suddenly felt that even a little more pain would be worth it.
His pampering tone as he spoke to her earlier penetrated deeply into the bottom of her heart. It even made her ignore her own greed as well.
Although she knew that she should not be like this, she still quite liked how he cared for her like this.
When it happened earlier, the first person she thought of instantly was Gu Jingze. Lin Che thought to herself that she was really a little addicted to relying on him. She did not know why Gu Jingze’s name had simply appeared in her brain either. She knew that if something happened to her, he would definitely be able to help her.
This type of reliance was unacceptable; it was definitely unacceptable.
However, as she lay in his arms right now, she did not want to think about anything anymore.


When they arrived at the hospital, sure enough, it was just as he had thought. The doctor said that it was just because she had moved around too much. There was no major problem and he told her to rest up well.
Thus, they returned to the hotel from the hospital very soon after. In the suite, Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che and asked her,
What do you want to eat? I’ll send someone to buy it for you.

Lin Che said,
But I don’t want to eat at all…


No way. You must eat a little,
Gu Jingze said.
Lin Che pondered for a bit.
Then… then, what do I do if I want to eat home-cooked instant noodles?

Gu Jingze looked at her wordlessly before saying,
I’ll get someone to bring the noodles over. Wait for a bit.


Are you going to cook for me?
Lin Che smiled and blinked as she looked at him.

Of course. Otherwise, who’ll do it?

Lin Che jumped up immediately as she looked at Gu Jingze.
Woohoo. Gu Jingze, you’re really great.

This compliment was better than any other honeyed words. It boosted Gu Jingze’s morale when he heard it. He looked at Lin Che and seemed to have this impulsive desire to do anything for her.


He could not help but think about how he was no longer some young boy. He really should not be having such feelings.
However, her words seemed to have magic to them. They really made him feel extremely satisfied.
A little later, the instant noodles were brought to the room.
The hotel suite had everything in it. Everything necessary was supplied and there was even a small and proper kitchen built inside it. Although no one probably used it usually, it still had all kinds of facilities. As Lin Che looked around, she thought to herself that the hotel was deserving of its seven-star status. It was really expensive because of its service and facilities.
She sat there and watched Gu Jingze make himself busy like he knew what he was doing. Although he had only seen her make this once, he still managed to put the noodles in to cook them in no time. He held a spoon in one hand to test the flavor while his other hand rested on his waist. His tall height and firm stature seemed extremely alluring in the kitchen.
No wonder people said that a man was the most handsome when he was cooking.
Especially with an appearance like Gu Jingze’s; wherever he stood, he was seriously like a magazine cover come to life.
A while later, Gu Jingze served the cooked noodles to her.
Lin Che said,
You made it pretty well.

Gu Jingze said,
Of course. Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?


Hey, the noodles I cook taste very good too.


That’s enough. Open your mouth.
Gu Jingze picked up his chopsticks and actually tried to feed her.
Lin Che looked at him blankly. Seeing that she did not move for a long time, Gu Jingze frowned and said,
I told you to open your mouth.


Oh, oh…
She quickly opened her mouth. However, her gaze was still fixed on his beautiful and splendid face. For a moment, she felt a warmth in her heart. When this man was thoughtful towards her, it was really too much.
Lin Che suddenly remembered that today was still Christmas Eve.
She raised her head and said,
It’s almost Christmas.
