However, not even a few days had passed before the attention turned to Gu Jingyu .
Although there was no make-up to speak of for men watching the show, the netizens noticed some other things instead .
As a matter of course, the few shows that Gu Jingyu watched were all shows by big brands . It was very difficult to get tickets to them .
However, the most inconceivable matter remained:
the person who accompanied Gu Jingyu to watch the show .
Netizens were gossiping, “Did all of you notice? During the show, Lin Che and Gu Jingyu’s seats were different from the rest . All of the other celebrities sat on the left, but they sat near the back on the right . That’s the best place to sit . These seats are usually reserved for some special guests . ”
“Then, who were these seats allocated to? Not just anyone, but the members of Y Nation’s and F Nation’s royal families . The people who could sit here were people invited by Y Nation’s royal family . ”
“Let me give you a little lesson . The man sitting on Lin Che’s left who looks quite short is Y Nation’s Count Sterman . And the young, handsome man on her left is Y Nation’s legitimate royal descendant . In principle, he’s also the thirteenth in line to Y Nation’s throne . Although it’s unlikely that he’ll succeed to the throne, this at least shows that he has a high status . ”
Accompanied by some images, these posts attracted a great number of people in no time .
Everyone was collectively amazed . They did not expect Lin Che to actually sit there as well . It looked like they had really underestimated Lin Che who had gone to the show with little fanfare .
When they looked back on how she had dressed before, they really felt that Lin Che was indeed a low-key and amicable person . She quietly went to watch the show and did not think of hogging the limelight at all .
Seen in this perspective, Qin Wanwan’s behavior was a little too deliberate; she had specially appeared at the event resplendently attired, took photographs, and also posted photos of herself watching the show .
After watching runway shows for a few days, the trip to Paris was finally about to end .
Lin Che felt that although it seemed that she had done nothing at all, it was nevertheless more tiring than filming .
Back at the hotel, they were packing up . Yu Minmin was constantly looking at the news while telling Lin Che, “There’s finally more news about you than there is about Qin Wanwan . ”
Beside them, Yang Lingxin said, “Of course . Other people can definitely tell that she was scheming . She intentionally made her rounds flamboyantly before going back, but in the end, her name wasn’t even searched as frequently as our Sister Che . ”
Yu Minmin glanced at Yang Lingxin and said, “In any case, she attained her goal too; she occupied the headlines for the entire day . ”
“But our Sister Che has been occupying the headlines for so many days . She’s also the hottest topic on Weibo . Right now, people are even saying that the clothing that Sister Che wore to the show was very beautiful and very dashing . ”
Lin Che said, “I just feel very tired now . It’s better to go back earlier . ”
“Yes . We’re going back soon . Let’s go . ”
They headed to the airport together . This time, Gu Jingyu did not come along as he still had to stay for a few days to attend the royal banquet .
When they arrived in the passenger cabin, Qin Qing was surprisingly there . Upon seeing Lin Che, he paused before saying, “What a coincidence . ”
Lin Che was very surprised as well . “Yes, it’s so coincidental that we’re taking the same flight back too . ”
Qin Qing immediately exchanged seats with the person beside Lin Che and sat beside her .
Behind them, Yang Lingxin curiously asked Yu Minmin who that person was .
Yu Minmin said, “Didn’t you see the news previously? He’s Lin Li’s former fiancé . ”
“Ah, then isn’t he a second-generation heir?”
“Yes, he’s the Second Young Master of the Qin family . ”
“Oh my god, how come all the people Sister Che knows are so famous?” Yang Lingxin said in awe .
Yu Minmin said, “Lin Che and Lin Li have known him since they were young . It’s different for the others . ”
“Oh, so that’s how things are . ”
“Yes . The Lin family is not some unknown family either . It’s just that it’s too inadequate compared to the Gu family . ”
“Alright . ” Yang Lingxin glanced at Lin Che enviously . She was dearly loved wherever she went .
The airplane landed shortly thereafter .
Qin Qing always felt that the time he spent with her tended to be so short .
When they were in the airplane, Qin Qing saw that Lin Che had fallen asleep in her seat and gently covered the blanket over her . He recalled how she had often fallen asleep while sitting on the swing in the park when they were younger .
The journey lasted more than ten hours but it seemed like no time at all .
After alighting from the plane, Qin Qing said, “My car is parked downstairs . Let me drive you home . ”
Lin Che quickly replied, “There’s no need . Our company will send someone to fetch us . ”
“It’s alright . It happens to be on the way too . Anyway, I drove here alone . ”
However, just then, a bodyguard working for the Gu family suddenly walked towards them in a hurry .
“Madam,” he called out to Lin Che .
Lin Che froze and Qin Qing also halted .
When he laid eyes on the bodyguard, the momentary smile on his face fell slowly .
It did not bear mentioning that Gu Jingze’s face immediately appeared behind the bodyguard .
Gu Jingze had unexpectedly come .
Lin Che had not at all expected that Gu Jingze would actually come here personally to take her home .
She froze before looking at Gu Jingze . “Why are you here?”
With a dark gaze, Gu Jingze merely looked at Qin Qing beside her .
Qin Qing paused . Despite involuntarily clenching his fists at his sides, he nevertheless bowed his head and said, “Hello, President Gu . ”
Gu Jingze merely shot him a glance . He then smiled and reached out his hands to take Lin Che’s luggage from her before saying, “Hello . ”
The people behind him consciously attended to the luggage .
Gu Jingze wrapped his arm around Lin Che’s shoulder and headed outside directly .
Lin Che felt momentarily embarrassed . She turned her head around hastily and said to Qin Qing, “Then, I’ll be leaving first . ”
With Gu Jingze leading the way, they naturally headed directly for the private passageway .
From behind them, Qin Qing watched their retreating figures .
The private passageway was reserved for the Gu family’s exclusive use and no one else was allowed inside . Thus, he could only stand there and look on .
He saw them walk into the passageway . Inside, a car from the Gu family was waiting . Then, the row of people there left in a formidable fashion .
He had not expected Gu Jingze to personally take Lin Che home .
Could he say that Lin Che held a very important place in Gu Jingze’s heart?
Should he be happy for Lin Che? But he did not want to be happy for her at all .
Lin Che followed Gu Jingze into the car and asked him strangely, “Why did you come here?”
Gu Jingze said, “Why? Did I disturb you by coming here?”
Gu Jingze’s face darkened and he glared at her .
“Of course not!” Lin Che continued, “We coincidentally met in Paris . ”
Gu Jingze wanted to pick her up personally and give her a surprise since he had not seen her for a couple of days . However, he did not think that he would actually bump into Qin Qing .
Lin Che sneaked a glance at Gu Jingze and smiled . “Could it be… that after so long, you’re still jealous of him?”
Gu Jingze’s face darkened again . “Lin Che!”
How dare she say that he was jealous!
Was this girl getting ahead of herself again these days?
Lin Che laughed and said to him, “Alright . Honestly, there’s really nothing going on between him and me . We’re just ordinary friends . We’re busy with our own matters and can’t meet up often anyway . ”
Yes, she treated him as a friend . He believed that .
But as for that man…
