Lu Chuxia appeared to have gotten used to the rejection . She waved her hand, “Whatever . You can sit wherever you like . ”

There weren’t many people seated in here . Stephen looked at Lin Che and spoke first, “This is my first time seeing Mrs . Gu . I never thought that you would be so pretty . I hope President Gu will bring his beautiful wife out more often . ”
Lin Che blushed as she said, “Thanks for your compliment . You’re too kind . ”
“Not at all . It’s usually very difficult to invite President Gu to such an occasion . I hope Mrs . Gu will come to these gatherings more often . This way, President Gu will come out more often as well . ”
Gu Jingze replied, “I’m just a very boring person . My presence will only leave you with nothing to talk about . ”
“Not at all . When President Gu is here, countless beauties will stare at us . President Gu can simply sit here and not utter a single word . ”
Gu Jingze laughed, “Mr . Stephen, you’re exaggerating . ”
Stephen then began speaking in English, seemingly discussing some serious problem . Lin Che couldn’t understand it and could only stare blankly .
But she didn’t feel bored at all . She only watched them and felt that the English conversation made her feel as if she was watching an American drama . It was so fluent and natural .
And her husband really looked so suave when he conversed in English . When those elegant, thin lips spouted out those twirling words, it didn’t seem odd at all .
She remained watching while Lu Chuxia sat across her and kept gazing at Lin Che .
She watched Lin Che sit beside Gu Jingze very obediently . Lin Che watched Gu Jingze with eyes full of admiration . Lu Chuxia scoffed silently, thinking that she was really such a commoner since she was so easily impressed .
How could Gu Jingze like such a low person? Sooner or later, he would become annoyed with this kind of ignorant woman!

At this moment, refreshments were brought in . Lin Che naturally wouldn’t drink alcohol outside . Otherwise, she would scare people off if she got drunk . Thus, she humbly drank a soft drink when she heard Lu Chuxia say across her, “Don’t you feel bored listening to these men talk about business? It is so boring . ”
Lin Che replied, “No, I see it as exposure to me . ” She told her directly .
Lu Chuxia secretly despised her . She didn’t expect her to be so insistent without any worry at all . “Really? What’s there to be exposed about? They’re only talking about some international situation and ocean borders . ”
Lin Che smiled . She couldn’t be bothered to explain that she didn’t understand all these . However, she simply felt that she could see his charm when she watched him talk and work . Therefore, she didn’t find it boring .
She also knew that Lu Chuxia wanted to scorn her for not knowing anything .
Lin Che knew that she indeed didn’t know anything and there was nothing to hide about .
“It’s fine as long as one person in the family understands . Why would I need to know so much? I have Gu Jingze to earn money and support me in this family . If both people in the house are equally capable, how are they going to live?” Lin Che said .
Lu Chuxia chuckled coldly, seemingly in disagreement .
Gu Jingze heard this, turned to Lin Che, and rubbed her head, “That’s right . You don’t know anything . ”
“Yes yes, as long as you don’t despise me, right?”
“There’s nothing to despise you for . Work is already so boring . If I have to talk to you about work at home, that would be even more boring . I like it that you don’t know anything . ”
Lin Che heard this and her heart warmed even more .

Although she knew that Gu Jingze was giving her face by especially saying this in front of Lu Chuxia, it still felt very heartwarming .
He stood by her side and spoke up for her . This made her happy .
Lu Chuxia heard this and subtly pursed her lips . She was so angry that she wanted to glare at them .
But seeing the drink in front of Lin Che, she decided to endure it .
Anyway, this pain-in-the-ass was going to be gone in a while . She just needed to endure it a little more .
The row of people continued drinking and eating as they talked . Just then, Lin Che suddenly felt uncomfortable in her stomach .
It seemed to be the same kind of pain as her usual menstrual cramps but now, the pain felt weird .
However, she looked at Gu Jingze and the others . She endured it and didn’t make a sound .
She could only hope that it was temporary and that it would subside .
But not long after, the pain in her stomach grew more intense . It didn’t seem to be getting better . Instead, it seemed to be getting more painful .
The weakness followed after the pain . Lin Che’s face then turned as white as paper .
However, she looked at the people in front of her and continued to endure it . She didn’t want to interrupt Gu Jingze .

But Gu Jingze noticed that something was not right .
The petite woman beside him had gone way too quiet that he began to feel strange . It didn’t fit Lin Che’s character .
Gu Jingze turned to look . Lin Che sat there in a daze . She did not make a sound and her head was hung low . She didn’t look right .
Gu Jingze quickly nudged Lin Che, “What’s wrong?”
Lin Che gradually lifted her head .
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che’s pale face and his expression instantly changed .
At the side, Lu Chuxia had noticed for a while that Lin Che was feeling uncomfortable .
However, she had expected all of this . She just kept wondering why this Lin Che still did not leave . Why wasn’t it acting up and why was she still there enduring?
Then, Gu Jingze saw it .
Lu Chuxia looked at Gu Jingze’s expression and scoffed coldly .
Gu Jingze immediately grabbed Lin Che’s hand .
He felt the cold sweat on her palm .
He asked, “Lin Che, what’s wrong?”
Lin Che looked up and shook her head . She wanted to say that she was fine but it took great effort to speak . She could only say, “My stomach just hurts a little . Why don’t you guys continue? I’ll head back myself . ”
Gu Jingze’s eyes darkened . That cold expression of his was particularly obvious .
He held her hand, “I’ll go back with you . ”
Lin Che didn’t want to disturb him . That was why she wanted to go back by herself . “It’s fine . I probably ate something bad . I can go back myself . ”
But Gu Jingze already grabbed her hand firmly, not caring about her words . His huge hand pulled Lin Che up .
Lu Chuxia immediately froze .
Meanwhile, Stephen asked in surprise, “President Gu, what is wrong?”
Gu Jingze said directly, “Apologies, my wife is not feeling well . I’m taking her back . ”
Stephen was somewhat taken aback, but he looked at Lin Che who indeed didn’t look well at all .
Lu Chuxia then stood up from across them . She looked at Gu Jingze, “It’s so rare for Stephen and Jingze to meet this one time . Let me send Lin Che back . You should stay . ”
Lin Che heard this and also looked up at Gu Jingze .
Although she really didn’t feel happy letting Gu Jingze stay here with Lu Chuxia, she really didn’t want to disrupt Gu Jingze’s work .
