Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che . She gazed at him seriously and her expression was so grave for the first time .
Gu Jingze said, "You're saying that you don't want me to continue doing this with you…"
Lin Che also looked at him and plainly said, "That's right . I think this is completely different from what we agreed on in the beginning . We should keep a certain distance from each other . Doing this now puts me in a pinch . "
Gu Jingze looked deeply into her eyes as if he wanted to capture the slightest hint of emotion in them that could explain why .
However, if she wanted to follow their agreement, what else could he do?
He gently let go of her hands and turned away . His stiff posture looked even darker under the glow of the fireworks .
He also suddenly became quiet .
After a long time, he finally spoke, "If you've already made this decision, then I will respect it . "
Lin Che heard his answer and felt relief in her heart . At the same time, there was an indescribable pain .
But there was no future for them . If they continued this way, it would make her feel disgusted .

Thinking about how he was still keeping in contact with Mo Huiling while being with her, she somehow couldn't accept it .
It was New Year's Eve . The distant sky was filled with an enchanting red color . The two of them sat at the verandah in silence and listened to the countdown behind .
When they returned to the room, Gu Jingze took the initiative to take his blanket and head out . Lin Che didn't bother about him and leaned on the bed . She heard him making his bed on the floor outside but didn't pay attention to him .
Lying down, there were still sounds of firecrackers but it was already a lot quieter .
Lin Che hugged her blanket and heard Gu Jingze soon fell asleep . There was no movement outside .
He was usually a quiet sleeper but he seemed to be much quieter today .
Maybe she was being too sensitive . In any case, she hugged her blanket and smiled gloomily . She didn't think that he would agree so readily .
It looked like his heart was still certain that they would divorce sooner or later . That was why he logically agreed with her thinking .
But why did he agree? She began to feel uncomfortable as if something was touching her small heart . There was a pulsating pain .
Lin Che smiled bitterly and thought, Did her heart really have such a glimmer of hope? Did she really think that he wanted to spend a lifetime with her?

Actually, being able to meet such an outstanding man and interact with him for a few years was already her good fortune . How could she still be so hopeful?
She was with him for so long that her heart actually had such unrealistic dreams .
This man… It was better to keep a distance from him .
Thinking about it, Lin Che blurrily fell asleep .
The next day .
Gu Jingze left early in the morning and didn't care about Lin Che .
Lin Che went out and Mu Wanqing was puzzled, "It's the first day of the New Year . How come Jingze went to work when he should be keeping you company?"
Lin Che said, "Hm, I thought his work was very busy . Wasn't he like this in the past?"
"That's true . He didn't care that much about these festivities in the past but he has you this year . I thought he wouldn't go . "

"Oh," Lin Che replied . "It's only right to be serious with work . I should understand and support him . "
Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Che empathetically, "I'll talk to him next time . There's no use working so hard . "
Lin Che and Mu Wanqing walked out together and got ready to drink some tea in front .
Lin Che said, "Oh right, Mr . President and Gu Jingyu… didn't come back this time?"
Mu Wanqing said, "Jingming said that he would come back but something cropped up that he had to tend to . Jingyu… Sigh, it's okay if he doesn't want to come back . I know he doesn't want to see me . "
Lin Che looked at Mu Wanqing strangely, "Mom, why do you say that? I worked with Senior Jingyu many times . He probably does want to see you . He may be stubborn but he is still good at heart . "
Mu Wanqing sighed, "It was wrong of me as well that year, I know that . I know none of my children are bad . He is a good kid . It's just that these three brothers all have different characters but they are all stubborn people . "
Lin Che said, "I know I shouldn't be asking all these, but… I'm very familiar with Senior Jingyu, so I really don't understand what exactly happened that made him not come back anymore . "
Mu Wanqing said, "That year… when he was still in school, he had a girlfriend . When they were in school together, they got along very well . That girl initiated the chase and from what I heard, her family background wasn't good . However, that wasn't a big deal . We judge the person by how good they are, not their families . But I found out that the girl got close to Jingyu on purpose because she wanted money . How could I agree to that? I couldn't watch Jingyu get cheated . That time, while they were still young and ignorant… I separated them . I sent the girl away with two million dollars . If it really wasn't for money, she would have chosen to be with Jingyu . How could she just take the two million and leave? She definitely would have rejected it, but she readily took it . "
Lin Che thought, There was such a thing? Seriously…
Lin Che looked at Mu Wanqing, "Then, wasn't Senior Jingyu very sad?"
"Of course he was, but at least he wasn't cheated any further . What if he only realized that she was after money after a few years? That would have been even worse . However, he never came back home after that . He even rebelled, went to learn acting, and became a star . Otherwise, he would have been helping Jingze out at home . Then, Jingze wouldn't be so busy that he doesn't have time for you . He's working so hard that even my heart aches for him . Sigh . "
Lin Che smiled awkwardly . Mu Wanqing tugged Lin Che's hand and felt that it was cold . She quickly told her to go back into the house .
Lin Che looked at Mu Wanqing and gratefully said, "Thanks for telling me all of these, Mom . I know Mom wouldn't say all these to anybody . "
"Yes, but you're not an outsider . You're my daughter-in-law and a daughter of the family . I can only pour my heart out to you . "
Lin Che's throat choked . She felt that she really couldn't bear to tell her that her marriage with Gu Jingze was only contractual .
She could only carry her guilt and hold onto Mu Wanqing's hand tightly .
Mu Wanqing even wanted her to have a child one day but she didn't know that it was forever impossible between her and Gu Jingze .
Because Gu Jingze knew what he wanted and he already agreed logically to never touch her again .
They were going to be formal with each other . How could they have a child…
Over at the office, the atmosphere was so dull that everyone on the high floors was breaking out in cold sweat .
