The entire night, Gu Jingze slept exceptionally well.
The next thing he knew, it was already daylight.
When he woke up, he discovered that Lin Che’s feet were right in front of him. She had both legs on his body. Her exceptional sleeping posture made her sleep horizontally.
Strangely enough, he did not feel her legs move at all the previous night.
Lin Che, who was too tired from yesterday, was still in a daze.
“What… What time is it…” Lin Che scratched at her feet drowsily. One leg was plopped onto Gu Jingze’s face.
Gu Jingze’s face darkened as he immediately sat up. Looking speechlessly at Lin Che, he exclaimed, “Lin Che, what are you doing?!”
Lin Che suddenly looked up to see Gu Jingze sitting on the bed. He looked awful as if he just swallowed a fly.
“Ah, sorry…” she scratched her head and took her phone to see. It was only six in the morning.
She sprawled back onto the bed, “My God, it’s so early. Why did you wake me up?”
“The early bird catches the worm. Also, waking up early makes you feel more energized; it’s good for thinking,” Gu Jingze placed his feet on the floor and entered the bathroom with vigor.
Lin Che took one look and thought that he was commendable.
No matter how late he slept the previous night, he would always wake up at six and not a minute later. He always got up immediately and then came back at night to continue working until it was late before resting.
Lin Che thought that he was definitely not getting the required seven hours of sleep daily. He probably got six hours at most.
Only during filming, Lin Che would not sleep for days. However, whenever she had the chance, she certainly slept like a log.
She thought that it must be tough for Gu Jingze.
Lying there, Lin Che could not recall what they were doing the night before they ended up together on the bed. Since nothing happened anyway, she soon fell back asleep.
Gu Jingze returned only to find that Lin Che had gone back into deep sleep.
This time, her whole body was flipped over and she was lying face down.
Gu Jingze shook his head helplessly. He took the blanket and carefully tucked her in before heading out.
In the afternoon, Lin Che watched as the maid washed the car. She thought that it would be fun to join in.
The maid saw Lin Che approach and immediately put down the water, afraid that it would get onto her.
Lin Che said nonchalantly, “It’s alright. I want to help you guys wipe. Back at my home, I used to do this with my nanny. I do an exceptionally professional job.”
“Madam, you really don’t have to…”
“It’s okay. I’m the madam, so listen to me.”
Hearing what she said, the maid had no other choice.
When Gu Jingze returned, he put down his clothes and asked, “Where’s Madam?”
The maid looked hesitantly to the backyard and said, “Madam is… washing the car.”
“…”
Gu Jingze entered the backyard and saw Lin Che vigorously wiping the back of the car. Her actions were almost professional.
Watching her happily working hard, Gu Jingze shook his head. Half of her skirt was wet and sweat droplets formed on her face. However, she was not afraid of looking unglamorous or afraid of getting tanned. Exposed to the sun, she was like her own ray of sunshine. Anyone looking at her would have cheered up instantly.
He seemed to have been infected by her as his mood was lifted.
The maid noticed Gu Jingze was not unhappy and was actually smiling. He looked like he was in a good mood now. She said beside him, “Madam never put on any airs with us. She even helped us with our work. She is such a nice person.”
Gu Jingze turned to her and smiled before walking over to Lin Che.
“What are you doing?” he asked curiously.
Lin Che looked up, “I’m working. Labor is my pride.”
Gu Jingze smiled, “How do you know how to clean cars?”
Lin Che replied, “The Lin family has cars too, okay? Back there, I used to clean them. I even know how to wax.”
“Are you that good?”
“Of course. I know many things!” Lin Che proudly brushed her nose with her thumb and left bubbles on the tip of her nose.
Gu Jingze laughed and reached over to wipe them off.
Lin Che rubbed her nose adorably and looked at Gu Jingze, revealing an enchanting smile.
Gu Jingze felt his heart beat faster.
Without any thoughts, he gazed at her face. There was a warm, fuzzy feeling.
“Ah, that’s the good thing about branded cars. Once I’m done cleaning this, it’ll be as good as new. Beautiful,” Lin Che looked at the Porsche worth millions of dollars.
Gu Jingze suddenly realized that she did not have her own car. He asked, “Do you know how to drive?”
“Me? No…”
Gu Jingze said, “Right, you’re too dumb. It was pointless to ask.”
“Hey, I’m busy keeping myself alive. I don’t have time to learn, okay?”
Gu Jingze smiled and thought that she would not look nice driving this Porsche. She would look great in a smaller car.
“You should get a car and start learning. It’ll be much more convenient for you.”
Lin Che replied, “Yes! I’ll get one when I’ve saved up enough!”
She was earning quite a lot now. But even if she were to save up, she could only afford an average car.
Gu Jingze declared, “Fine. We would have to wait forever for you to save that much. Let’s go buy you a car.”
“Huh? Now?”
“Yes, this is great timing because I’m free now. Hurry up.”
“Oh no, it’s too much. I still have to use your money.”
“Are you not going to buy it then?”
Lin Che’s eyes lit up. Of course, she would take the opportunity. She laughed hastily, “No, buy buy buy. Of course, I’ll buy.”
Gu Jingze said quietly, “Can you control yourself?”
“Forget that. I have to think about my future after we divorce. Although I’m using your money now, I still have to fend for myself in the future.”
Gu Jingze frowned. He suddenly disliked how she mentioned a ‘divorce’ so casually.
“Money-minded.”
“It’s not like it’s the first time I only thought about money. You better get used to it.”
Gu Jingze brought Lin Che to the 4S shop.
The shop owner saw Gu Jingze arrive and quickly went out to greet him personally. He looked respectfully at the two of them, “Mr. Gu, are you getting a car for this lady?”
“Yes. This is my wife,” he turned to introduce her.
The shop owner was shocked and quickly said, “No wonder I found Madam so familiar.”
Of course, she looked familiar because she was getting famous recently.
The shop owner asked, “What type of car does Mrs Gu like?”
Lin Che had no opinion on this, so she turned to look expectantly at Gu Jingze.
