With Gu Jingze in it, the viewer ratings for the television series immediately went up.

Although Gu Jingze was in the background most of the time, everyone was still very interested in all topics related to him.

Some people even said repeatedly that even though Gu Jingze was part of the backdrop, just looking at him, they felt that he belonged with Lin Che.

“What should I do? What should I do? I think the male lead doesn’t have to appear at all. I get irritated the moment I see him. He’s blocking my Gu Jingze.”

Whose Gu Jingze? Gu Jingze is mine!

Lin Che read the comments on her computer and said bitterly, “Gu Jingze is mine!”

Seriously. She would not let Gu Jingze appear onscreen anymore.

He clearly belonged to her, but so many people were licking their screens upon seeing him.

No way. She was jealous!

At this moment.

Outside, the maid came to deliver something.

“Madam, there’s good news from the presidential palace. The First Lady is pregnant again. They’ve invited everyone there for a flower-appreciation and tea-tasting session.”

“Huh? Minmin is pregnant?”

Lin Che thought to herself in surprise that the last time, Yu Minmin had even said that it would probably be very difficult for her to get pregnant. After so many years, there was nothing wrong at all but she could not get pregnant. Perhaps she had been hurt because of what had happened the last time she had given birth.

But hadn’t she gotten pregnant now?

Lin Che said, “That’s worthy of celebration. Prepare some presents. Let’s go together. By the way, did you ask who else is going?”

“I think they invited quite a few people. Mr. President is very happy this time. He’s opening his doors wide and welcoming everyone.”

Lin Che smiled and said, “Of course he must be happy.”

—

Sure enough, the atmosphere at the Glazed Tile Palace was one of jubilation.

Yu Minmin had been pregnant for more than three months but had only just discovered it.

After going in, the maid led Lin Che to meet Yu Minmin. While walking, she heard the maid say, “Ma’am is really careless. It was Mr. President who asked her. He felt that something was wrong and got the doctor here to examine her. I can’t believe Ma’am has been pregnant for three months but didn’t even know it.”

Lin Che said, “She probably didn’t think in that respect.”

“Yes. Sir is incredibly happy.”

The two of them went in while speaking.

Yu Minmin was lying on the bed with a heap of supplements placed beside her.

Frustration was written all over her face when she saw Lin Che. “It’s starting again. I knew it…”

Lin Che smiled and said, “It’s because he likes you.”

Lin Che sat down and continued, “But how did you not realize that you were pregnant?”

Yu Minmin said, “To begin with, my menstrual period was irregular. But recently, I kept feeling as if my chest was swelling up immensely. I felt slightly uncomfortable. But every time I get my period, I feel the same way, so I thought my period was coming.”

Lin Che shook her head and looked at this muddle-headed mother.

However, she saw that everyone had arrived outside to congratulate her. At the moment, they had filled up the entire drawing-room of the Glazed Tile Palace.

The moment she went out, she saw Gu Jingyu and Gu Jingze sitting together. Gu Jingming was chatting with Lu Beichen at the side. Black Eagle was sitting with Mu Feiran while the children were playing on the ground.

They were causing such a clamor, but everyone was having a nice time.

When Lin Che and Yu Minmin came out, Gu Jingming made his way over to Yu Minmin first and carefully supported her.

Yu Minmin said disbelievingly, “That’s enough. I’m pregnant. I’m not disabled.”

Gu Jingming said, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

At the side, Gu Jingyu also joked, “Really? Older Brother has such anxious moments too? I thought you were always pulling a long face and looking cold.”

Gu Jingming said, “Try getting married and you’ll know.”

Lin Che said, “I reckon he’ll get married soon. Recently, hasn’t he been with…”

Gu Jingyu’s face immediately darkened. “Lin Che, don’t spout nonsense. I’m incredibly happy alone. Why must I get married like you guys? Getting married is like a calamity. Each of you dawdles more than the next. It’s like you’ve become entirely different people. I don’t want that.”

Gu Jingming said, “You’re complaining that the grapes are sour because you can’t eat them.”

Gu Jingyu said, “Hehe. You speak as if I actually want it.”

Gu Jingming looked at Gu Jingze. “By the way, I remember you saying back then that Lin Che wanted to drug someone at the time?”

Gu Jingze looked up.

Lin Che was still having some snacks. When she heard Gu Jingming’s words, she immediately choked.

Why had they suddenly, suddenly brought up this issue?

“Hey, hey, hey. What are you guys talking about…”

Gu Jingming said, “Back then, didn’t you want to drug Gu Jingyu to cause a scandal? But in the end, that night, didn’t Gu Jingyu let Gu Jingze have the room to rest up? That’s why the two of you…”

Lin Che hastily went up to stop him, but Gu Jingming had already finished speaking.

Gu Jingyu looked on with an expression of complete confusion.

“What? When did this happen? How come I didn’t know about it?”

Gu Jingze had told Gu Jingming this back when he had been at odds with Lin Che, as he tended to tell Gu Jingming everything.

But he had definitely never told Gu Jingyu this.

Lin Che quickly stood up. “Ah. No, no. Older Brother remembered wrongly. He remembered wrongly.”

However, Gu Jingyu’s eyes twitched and he figured out what had happened.

“Oh. I remember it now. There was once when I said that the presidential suite in the Gu Industries’ seven-star hotel was not bad, and I told Second Brother to try staying there. He didn’t want to go, but I still dragged him there afterward. Oh no, was that the night where something happened between Lin Che and Second Brother?”

Lin Che held her head in her hands.

Mentioning past events in front of so many people… Her face was already starting to burn.

Seriously. Could they stop talking about those ridiculous incidents?

But Gu Jingyu slapped his thigh and said, “What the hell. So, you’re saying that if I had stayed there back then and didn’t offer the room to Second Brother, then…”

However, before he could finish, Gu Jingze had already stood up. His voice was laced with warning as he looked at Gu Jingyu. “Then what?”

Gu Jingyu immediately saw Gu Jingze’s warning gaze and hastily shut his mouth. “Oh, oh. Nothing. It’s nothing…”

He had forgotten that this insanely-jealous man was still around.

But internally, Gu Jingyu definitely thought that way.

If he had not offered the room to Gu Jingze back then, Lin Che would have been his…

What a pity. A pity.

But this was probably fate.

Gu Jingyu said, “So, that night, what exactly happened between you and Lin Che?”

Hearing this, Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che with a suggestive gaze.

Lin Che’s face had become as red as an overripe tomato that was about to fall.

Yu Minmin still looked a bit confused. She did not know when this had happened.

“When did this happen?”

Lin Che quickly said, “Alright, alright. Let’s stop talking about this.”

Gu Jingyu asked, “Good gracious. Really. What happened exactly? It can’t be that you forcefully slept with Second Brother, right? I thought Second Brother couldn’t get close to women at the time. How could anything have happened between the two of you?”

“…”

She had not forcefully slept with him. She definitely had not!

But… it seemed no different than forcefully sleeping with him.

Lin Che wanted to cry. If given another chance… she really would not do something that dumb.

But thinking about it, if she had not been so foolish back then, perhaps she would not have known Gu Jingze.
