Chapter 365: 365
However, a look of coldness washed over Gu Jingze’s calm face . He looked toward Lu Chuxia, “No need . I’ll send her back . ”

It was usually rare to see Stephen and the rest of the bosses . This time, Stephen arranged for them to gather and talk . Lu Chuxia didn’t believe that Gu Jingze was actually going to leave just like that .
Was he not going to give Stephen any face because of this woman?
Lu Chuxia panicked, “No, let me help you take her back . It’s so rare for you to meet Mr . Stephen . If you don’t consider giving others face, maybe you should at least consider giving face to Mr . Stephen . ”
But Gu Jingze looked straight at Lu Chuxia, “Which is more important: giving face or the well being of my wife?”
“…” Lu Chuxia was stunned .
Her words were stuck in her mouth and she couldn’t say anything else for a moment .
What he said simply meant that he didn’t care about giving face to anybody .
Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che and took her outside .
Outside, the onlookers were extremely shocked . They watched as Lu Chuxia followed them out while Gu Jingze took Lin Che with him . He carried her in his arms and left without looking back .
Lu Chuxia stood there hatefully, listening to people talking about some rumor that came out of nowhere . They said that Gu Jingze’s woman was ill, so he spoke to Stephen and left Stephen’s private meeting upstairs .
Someone said, “I knew that Gu Jingze was unafraid of anything . He can block out the sky with one hand without caring about giving face to anyone . This time, I’m really seeing it in person . ”
“Yes . It must be so blissful to be his woman and be personally carried back by him . ”
“Stephen’s private meeting is only attended by a handful of top famous people . Didn’t you see? They didn’t come down at all and went straight up . They’re not showing their faces these few days either . Now, Gu Jingze has left and doesn’t care at all . If it were up to me, I wouldn’t come out of there even if people dragged me out . ”
Lu Chuxia heard this and her face colored .

She initially set her sight on this meeting organized by Stephen and predicted that he wouldn’t leave . Little did she expect that he still walked out of it .
And he carried that slut with him .
Back in the room .
Lin Che’s face was pale beyond imagination .
Gu Jingze placed her on the bed and looked at her, “How are you feeling?”
Lin Che shook her head, “I’m okay . It still hurts . ”
Gu Jingze said, “I’ll get the doctor . ”
“It’s just a stomachache . There’s no need for such trouble . There’s no other feeling too . ”
“Of course not,” Gu Jingze replied . Without saying anything else, he quickly asked to call for the doctor .
The doctor very quickly rushed over and carefully assessed Lin Che . He then said, “It’s just a gastrointestinal flora disorder resulting in intestinal colic . ”
Gu Jingze asked, “Is it caused by eating something bad?”
“It may have to do with the inability to acclimatize . The cause is not certain either . Anyway, it shouldn’t be a big problem . These are some medicine for the intestine and these are painkillers . She should feel better after taking these . As for the intestinal problem, don’t eat any seafood for the time being . The food here may be mostly seafood, so it might have been because she ate too much seafood . ”
Lin Che nodded, “Thank you, doctor . ”

Gu Jingze heard this and relaxed a lot more . He looked at Lin Che and let her rest . He took some water for her to take her medicine .
Lin Che raised her head and swallowed the pills . She then looked at Gu Jingze, “See? I told you that it’s no big deal . I can take some medication on my own and I’ll be fine . You didn’t have to come back with me . ”
Gu Jingze asked, “Why did you still endure it when you were feeling ill? Tell me, how long were you in pain for?”
Lin Che was immediately exposed . She pursed her lips, lowered her head, put down the cup of water, and mumbled, “It wasn’t that long…”
“Say it . How long did it hurt? Tell me . ”
Lin Che looked up and didn’t want him to worry further, “It really wasn’t that long . ”
Gu Jingze’s face darkened even more . He glared fiercely at Lin Che, “Are you going to tell me the truth?”
Seeing how Gu Jingze was so persistent, Lin Che quickly said, “Fine, fine . I’ll say it . It really hadn’t been that long . It only started to hurt after I drank those cold drinks . I thought that maybe the drinks were too cold, so they aggravated my stomach . ”
At that time, it was at least more than ten minutes .
She actually endured the pain for so long .
Gu Jingze glared at Lin Che, “Why are you so silly? You should have told me the moment it hurt . ”
“I… I thought it was no big deal,” Lin Che’s voice lowered .
“It can’t be because of that!” Gu Jingze said fiercely .
Lin Che also lowered her head, “I was just worried that I might disrupt your work . Don’t you see? I really did . I said that it hurt and you brought me back . I think their meeting shouldn’t have ended yet . Why don’t you go back? I’ll get better after taking a rest . ”

How could Gu Jingze be willing to do that?!
“You dummy,” he looked pitifully at Lin Che . He thought about how she endured the pain there for such a long time . That was why her palm broke out in cold sweat and her face was as white as paper . His heart ached so badly for her .
If he hadn’t realized, wouldn’t she have continued bearing the pain?
This silly girl .
He placed his arm around Lin Che’s head so that she could rest in his embrace . Her head leaned against his chest . He quietly caressed her silky hair .
“Silly, don’t do that again in the future . Why must you endure it if it hurts?”
“It’s not that painful actually . ”
“I know how painful intestinal colic is . You’re still trying to lie to me? What if there was really a problem? What if the pain led to another problem? How would you be able to save yourself? Furthermore, I, Gu Jingze, don’t need my woman to carry any burden for me . If I work so hard and you still have to bear such pain for me, what’s the point of my status and assets then?”
“In any case, don’t do that again, silly . ”
If something really happened to her, it would be irreparable then .
Nothing else mattered .
She said, “But is it really okay with that Mr . Stephen? He sounds very capable . ”
“He is capable . That’s why we don’t rely on face . Everyone has their own ability and there’s nothing to be worried about . Furthermore, I’ve always been like this . Everybody knows how much I dislike gatherings . I was already giving them face by showing up . I simply left halfway . ”
Alright… He was the capable one .
Gu Jingze asked, “Does your stomach still hurt?”
Lin Che was then reminded of it .
It was extremely painful just now, but after taking the medicine and resting, she felt a lot better .
She replied, “Much better . ”
Gu Jingze then placed her head on his lap and started rubbing her stomach .
Just then, outside .
Lu Chuxia arrived .
She looked at the attendant and asked, “Jingze and Lin Che are inside?”
The attendant said, “Yes . ”
“Oh, I’m here to pay a visit . Is your Madam alright?”
“She is fine . ”
“I’d like to see Lin Che,” she said .
The attendant could only say, “Let me check with Sir . ”
She pushed open the door as Lu Chuxia looked angrily at these Gu family attendants . Every single one of them was so block-headed . They dared to be so disrespectful to her and this made her so mad . Although they only listened to the Gu family’s instructions and were being professional, they weren’t giving face to her at all .
When the attendant pushed open the door, Lu Chuxia saw Gu Jingze hugging Lin Che inside .
