Lin Che was still lazing around Shen Youran apartment .

She heard her phone ring and held up her phone only to see that it was actually Gu Jingze .
She nearly answered the call immediately but remembered that it was strange of him to call when they were in the midst of an argument .
Because of the argument, she was reluctant to go to the company or to the film set . She just wanted to stay at home all day and lay around not doing anything .
Thus, she simply rejected his call .
She snorted and wriggled her nose at her phone . She refused to bother with him .
Men who lied were all bad men!
Just then, she heard someone knock on the door .
Lin Che froze .
She got up and wondered if Shen Youran was back . But she should have had her keys with her .
She walked to the door and opened it only to see a group of people in black clothing .
And the person at the very front was Gu Jingze .
Back home, the ceiling was higher and he did not appear tall . However, the ceiling in this apartment was slightly lower . As he stood by the door, it made him look surprisingly tall .
It seemed as if his head would hit the ceiling the moment he entered .
Lin Che gulped . She looked at Gu Jingze and wanted to close the door immediately .

However, Gu Jingze stopped her from closing the door .
He placed his hand directly on the door . It closed on his hand but he still did not budge .
Lin Che’s heart suddenly clenched and she hastily loosened her hold on the door .
However, she still continued looking at Gu Jingze and asked fiercely, “What are you doing?!”
Gu Jingze looked at her with an emotionless face . Then, his lips moved, “Lin Che . ”
Lin Che turned away from him . “Let go of the door . I’m going to close it . ”
“That’s enough, Lin Che . Come home with me,” he said .
Lin Che said, “I don’t want to . ”
Gu Jingze had a gloomy expression on his face . “It’s not safe here . Come home with me . ”
“How is it unsafe?! I’m not safe with you . ”
“…” Gu Jingze replied, “Stop throwing a tantrum and come home with me . ”
“There’s a total pervert and an evil woman at your place . Of course, I’m not going back, hmph . ”
Gu Jingze said, “This door can’t even protect you against burglars . It’s too dangerous here . Come back with me, alright?”
“There’s no need for protection against theft here . There’s no way that so many evil people would target us, ordinary people,” Lin Che said .

“Lin Che, can’t you be a little more sensible?!” Gu Jingze’s eyes darkened instantly when he heard her use the term ordinary people .
Lin Che said, “Fine . I’m insensible . You’re sensible . But at least I didn’t lie, hmph . ”
“You…” Gu Jingze said .
“Move aside . I’m going to close the door . Don’t hang around here anymore, alright?”
Lin Che tried to close the door again, but his hand stayed there firmly and prevented her from closing it .
Yet she really did not want to slam the door shut again and hurt his hand .
“Quick, come out! You have two choices right now . You either come out on your own or I’ll go in and drag you out!” Gu Jingze’s tone was overbearing .
Lin Che froze . Putting aside the numerous people following behind him, Lin Che would definitely not be able to get past Gu Jingze alone . For a man as strong as him, this small door was indeed not a problem at all .
“I’m not going out . You… don’t you dare think about coming in . If you barge in, I’m going to scream!”
“What is there to scream about?!”
“I’ll scream for everyone to witness a trespass . ”
Gu Jingze sneered . “I actually want to see if anyone can stop me . ”
As he spoke, Gu Jingze pushed the door forcefully . Lin Che was powerless against his strength . Seeing that he was about to barge in, Lin Che frantically shouted, “Ah, help, help, someone is trying to break in!!”
Beside them, an old aunt opened her door immediately .

“What’s all this shouting about?” She shouted and opened the door . When she saw so many people outside, she froze immediately . Looking at them suspiciously, she wondered what was happening here .
“Ah, ah, ah… are you loan sharks here to collect a debt?” That was was the only thing the old aunt could think of . Otherwise, why would there be so many people, each one so well-built, standing there coldly and looking on?
Gu Jingze drew in a deep breath and looked at the old aunt . “Auntie, I came here to look for someone . I’m not a loan shark . ”
Hearing this, Lin Che hastily cried out, “Auntie, auntie, he’s a loan shark . Quick, help me call the police . My useless husband borrowed money from them, but that shameless man ended up running away himself . Now, they’ve come knocking on my door . I’m the only one left to care for the elders and the children in my family . I can’t die . ”
“…” Gu Jingze stood there and looked at this damned woman .
How dare she call him a shameless husband?
In her shock, the aunt’s eyes darted around the people in front of her . “You guys… you guys, it’s illegal to loan money at a high-interest rate . Why are you bullying a woman?”
Lin Che nodded her head frantically . “Precisely, precisely . They won’t even let me close the door . Auntie, help me call the police, quick . ”
The aunt did not dare to interfere too much . She could only look at them and say, “You guys… if you continue doing this, I’m really going to call the police . ”
Gu Jingze sighed . He merely glared at Lin Che before telling the aunt, “Auntie, you’re mistaken . She’s my wife, but we’ve had a bit of a conflict, so she came here . I came here to pick her up because she refused to meet me . ”
“…” The aunt immediately became even more confused .
Gu Jingze looked at her . “Auntie, all of us are good people . Do we look like loan sharks?”
The aunt looked at Gu Jingze’s tall and slender build . He also had a particularly handsome face . Furthermore, although the people behind him looked cold, they did not seem like loan sharks . Seeing that Gu Jingze was so pleasing to the eye, she smiled and looked at Lin Che who was equally beautiful . “My goodness, you’re right . You don’t look like a loan shark to me . How can you be a loan shark when you’re so handsome? You must be a good man since you’re so handsome . There’s no need for you to resort to evil methods . ”
“…” Lin Che could not believe that the aunt was so swayed by his appearance .
Just because a person was handsome did not mean that he would not be evil .
“Auntie, how could you think this way?!” Lin Che shouted .
The aunt said, “Dear me, little lady . Fights between a married couple shouldn’t last long . On account of his handsome face, don’t be angry anymore . ”
Lin Che pursed her lips . When the aunt spoke, Lin Che saw Gu Jingze’s expression clear up slightly before he looked calmly at her .
Lin Che pursed her lips and said, “I refuse to go back with him . If I go back, he’ll definitely bully me . ”
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che . “That’s enough . Come with me . Quickly . ”
“I don’t want to . If you don’t release your hold, I’m really going to slam the door hard . ”
“I won’t let go!” Gu Jingze was about to just burst through the door .
Lin Che instantly became even more anxious .
“Gu Jingze, you…” While speaking, she stuck her leg out through the gap in the door and kicked his leg .
Gu Jingze froze . When he felt her kick his thigh so forcefully, he stepped backward in pain .
How dare this woman kick him?
As he stepped back, his hand naturally left the door .
The door slammed abruptly in his face .
Gu Jingze froze completely .
