The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

253 HELLO, THIS IS THE HOSPITAL

Lin Che looked up and wanted to get up but a huge hand pressed her shoulder down.

Lin Che turned around to see Gu Jingze with bloodshot eyes. His expression was the usual coldness but his eyes looked tired from his lack of sleep. It seemed like he came here immediately after finishing his work.

Before Lin Che could speak, Gu Jingze already hushed her and pointed to the bed. He pulled Lin Che up and brought her out silently.

Outside, Gu Jingze gently released her hand and asked her, "How was the operation?"

Hearing his voice so hoarse, Lin Che asked, "Were you working all night with no sleep?"

Gu Jingze replied, "A few cases were sent over together so I handled them together. It's fine. They are already more or less settled."

Lin Che felt uncomfortable seeing him suffer and yet she couldn't help him.

She hated herself for not studying economics back then. She couldn't help him at all.

And now, she even troubled him. He was so busy but he still came to show his concern for Granny.

"Granny is fine. The operation was fruitful but the lab results are not back yet," she said.

Gu Jingze nodded and held her face, "Don't worry too much then."

"Yes, Granny will be fine. You don't have to worry too. If you didn't sleep at all last night, why not go take a rest?" Lin Che looked at his eyebags, which had turned blue. Although it made him look like a decadent beauty, it was still unhealthy.

Gu Jingze said, "There are still some matters unsettled..."

"Still? Didn't you say it was more or less done?"

"More or less, not completely. You're so silly. It's fine. I'll just finish up my work in the meeting room next door. There is not much left. There are just some forms that I need to look at."

Lin Che turned back and saw that Granny was still in a deep sleep. She probably wasn't going to wake up soon. Thus, she looked up at him and asked, "Then is there anything I can help you with?"

"Sitting beside me and looking at me will help," Gu Jingze didn't think that she would be able to do anything with her intelligence.

"No, let me do something. I can... do some miscellaneous office stuff. It's no big deal. I can help get you water or tea and stuff. Don't look down on me! I'm a university graduate!"

Lin Che wanted to help in one way or another so that she wouldn't appear useless. Gu Jingze looked helplessly at Lin Che and nodded, deciding to grant her wish.

Lin Che jumped up and down and went next door with him.

Everything was already prepared for Gu Jingze in the meeting room. His laptop and documents were all there.

Lin Che walked over to take a look. Those forms were filled with numbers and she... couldn't understand them.

Gu Jingze asked, "Why? Do you know how to manage forms?"

Lin Che looked and laughed dryly. She came up with an excuse, "My... My mathematics is bad. How about some language stuff?"

Gu Jingze said, "Then... can you help me sort out the language for this case?"

Lin Che smiled and picked up the case.

Damn it. There were so many strange lines.

She almost wanted to faint, "This... my composition is actually not that good. I can only memorize poems. Is there anything else..."

Gu Jingze watched as she foolishly tried to come up with excuses to save her face. He burst out laughing.

His first smile of the day radiated on his tired face.

Lin Che looked up and saw his curled lips. That shallow curvature stunned Lin Che.

He didn't smile often but he looked very good when he did.

Because of his pleasing smile, Lin Che also forgave him for his ruthless mockery just before.

Gu Jingze didn't tease her after that either. He pointed to some other data, "You can help me handle these documents."

"How do I do that?" she got excited at her new assignment. That high-spirited demeanor was especially meaningful.

"File them according to date."

"Ah, okay. Leave that to me! Don't worry. I guarantee that I'll finish this!" Lin Che thought that it sounded simple, so she quickly sat down and started working on it.

After that, Gu Jingze sat there sometimes using his thick notebook, sometimes typing, sometimes video calling and speaking in foreign languages. He was so busy that he couldn't step away.

Lin Che sat beside him, recording and arranging the data in chronological order.

This was extremely boring. She thought that these office people had tough lives. Filming may be tiring but it was at least meaningful. This was soul-crushing.

Lin Che finally finished. Seeing that Gu Jingze was still busy and couldn't tend to her, she sat there and waited. Within a short while, drowsiness kicked in and she almost fell asleep.

When Gu Jingze looked up, her pen had already left countless circles on her face.

Gu Jingze was initially in a dull mood from his lack of sleep but seeing that funny face of hers suddenly lightened him up. He speechlessly looked at her and said, "Lin Che..."

Lin Che was nodding off and she looked really adorable.

But...

She already left a pool of drool on the documents she had just arranged nicely...

Gu Jingze speechlessly went closer and took the pen away from under her chin.

Lin Che's head fell on the table and she immediately woke up. She saw Gu Jingze beside her smiling devilishly. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Damn it...

Lin Che got up and exclaimed, "Gu Jingze, what are you doing?" She wiped her mouth and felt the dampness. She got a shock and looked down at the table. There really was a pool of saliva...

"Oh my God, are these documents important?" Lin Che was shocked, thinking that she had made a grave mistake.

She was really unable to do anything right. "Forget it, it's fine," Gu Jingze said.

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. How could it be alright? "Tell me the truth, are these documents expensive?"

"Not really. These data only cover three projects. Each project has about 13 million in investments."

"..." So how many millions did she drool on? Lin Che was bad at math. She only felt even giddier.

"Oh my God, I can't afford to pay for them. What do I do? What do I do? Gu Jingze, what do I..."

Gu Jingze thought that she was really silly. If he didn't look after her, that brain of hers would probably get cheated and she wouldn't even know.

He said that there was so much involved but he didn't say that the data was actually useful in determining the real value of the projects.

However, Gu Jingze wanted to let her be anxious for a little while more. It was her payback for always making him angry.

He smiled and went closer to her, "Do you really feel sorry?"

"Yes..." Lin Che felt terribly guilty.

Just then, Gu Jingze suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her up onto the table.

Lin Che yelped. She sat on the table with her legs spread slightly apart.

That secret spot in the middle was placed shyly in front of him...
