The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage
295 WHAT KIND OF MARRIAGE IS THIS

The next day.

Valentine's Day was here and it was really overbearing.

Lin Che slumped in her chair at the film set. Xin Xiaoyuan arrived at the other side.

There were rarely any scenes that involved both of them, so they rarely crossed paths. Perhaps it was also because of the rumors that they didn't get along, so the director intentionally put their scenes to the back. As a result, there was nothing to talk about when they met. They sat in their own corners and did not disturb each other.

Gu Jingyu soon walked over. He looked at Lin Che, "Why are you spending Valentine's Day alone?"

"I'm spending it with you guys," Lin Che replied.

Gu Jingyu said, "Ha, where is your husband?"

"Does he have to be around?"

Gu Jingyu was already getting more incredulous about her 'already married' declaration.

"I keep feeling as if there are problems in your marriage," he remarked.

Lin Che looked at him, "What problems?" "Even if it's a secret marriage, you don't hide it like this. Look at yourself. It's as if you're always living alone and you don't look like you have a man in your life at all. Tsk tsk. This face," he said and pinched her face.

"Hey hey hey," Lin Che said. "We're an old married couple. We're not sick of each other if that's what you're thinking. You don't understand the true meaning of marriage. This is it! It's just two people getting used to each other."

"Ha, you see, my agent has been married for two years and received some gift today for Valentine's Day. She even asked for the day off, saying that they want to spend some alone time together. On the other hand, you..."

"Bastard, we... We don't like that kind of formality, okay?"

"Right. I think... your husband is not even in B city right now. Has he forgotten that you exist? Tsk tsk. His staff probably spends more time with him than you do. What meaning is there in this marriage of yours? Your home has become a hotel and you're just a piece of decoration. What do you say..."

Those words hit Lin Che right in the heart.

Perhaps he was just carelessly joking and poking fun at her, but the words that entered her heart hurt her again and again.

Indeed, their marriage was only for show. Working together was just a nicer term for it.

Actually, his original intention was really to show everybody that she was his wife.

But he treated this display piece so well...

So well that she thought that she was really becoming his wife.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingyu hatefully, "Gu Jingyu, you don't want others to live well, right? You single dog!"

"Okay okay, be good. Don't panic. If no one keeps you company, I'll keep you company. Let's have dinner together."

"That won't be good," Lin Che thought that other days would be fine. Today was Valentine's Day and if they were caught eating together, the damage would be irreparable.

As if immediately understanding Lin Che's concern, Gu Jingyu speechlessly said, "Fine, fine. It'll be a group dinner. I'll invite all the single dogs in the crew and you can come along. Relax, it won't hurt you."

After hearing Gu Jingyu say this, Lin Che's eyes flashed as she looked up, "Ah, really? You should have said that earlier. Okay, okay, I'll come along."

Gu Jingyu shook his head and looked at her. This silly brat was really so afraid of creating a rumor with him. Since when did he become so fascinating?

At night.

When Lin Che and Gu Jingyu arrived, they discovered that it was a huge party. Everyone was gathered around the dining area and eating. They saw both of them arrive and unanimously thanked Gu Jingyu for his hospitality.

Lin Che and Gu Jingyu sat together.

Gu Jingyu had someone prepare food for Lin Che to eat.

Lin Che said, "You don't need to bother about me. I'm not some handicapped child. I can eat by myself."

"Lin Che, tell me. Who in this place wouldn't want me to personally serve them? Now, take a look at yourself. I'm picking the food for you. What kind of attitude is this?"

Lin Che simply didn't want others to misunderstand.

Looking around, she saw that everybody kept stealing glances at them.

Even though people stared at them when they appeared together these days, there was no way that Lin Che could get used to it.

Just then, someone called out from the side, "Ah, Jingyu, your second brother is on the news."

Gu Jingyu looked over, "My second brother?"

"Gu Jingze?"

"Ha, his news? It'll soon be deleted across the entire nation. This guy hates exposure. Since it's out, let's quickly take a look. It'll be gone soon."

Lin Che heard this and quickly took the phone. She immediately saw that the news was indeed talking about him attending some economic summit.

It must have been a national event.

Someone said, "Gu Jingze is so capable. He must be very proud to represent the country in such an event."

"He's going there for the cooperation of the country. Did you not see that the reception is the national etiquette?"

"Hey, how come there's a girl beside him? She looks familiar."

A girl?

Lin Che quickly held up the phone and anxiously scrolled to his news.

Her eyes fell on a blurry picture. This photo was obviously taken in secrecy. Gu Jingze was standing there with his back facing the camera. Beside him, Lu Chuxia had an arm around his waist. They actually matched quite well when they stood together.

After all, Lu Chuxia was such a beautiful and graceful woman. She wore similar work clothes and looked like an elite woman. If people didn't know, they might mistake her as his wife.

Lin Che's hands froze and her mind went blank.

Gu Jingyu noticed something was amiss. He looked at her, "What happened, Lin Che? Are you okay?"

"Oh, I'm fine," Lin Che quickly snapped back to reality with his nudge. She smiled and said, "Let's eat." Actually, she was very good at pretending to be on her own. Since she was young, she already knew how to act calm no matter how sad she got.

Because she was always alone since she was young. So what if she showed her unhappiness? Nobody was there to comfort her and nobody would understand her.

After liking Qin Qing for so many years, she was also silently watching. People always said that she was loud, but she knew that she was sensitive when it came to her feelings. She felt inferior for so long, but she found such an unrivaled and noble man.

When it came to her feelings, she really had no identity. There was either love or no love.

However, when he didn't love her at all, her identity became especially important...

When the dinner ended, Lin Che stood outside. Gu Jingyu came over. Seeing that she didn't look okay since earlier, he asked her, "What happened? You suddenly look unhappy."
