The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

Chapter 1138 I Can’t Believe You’re Praising Me

His voice was full of seductiveness, like a temptation from the bottom of the sea.

He circled her waist from behind, pressed his face to hers and said, “Congratulations. You were able to succeed this time because of your hard work.”

“Thank you...”

It turned out that he had prepared a gift...

She had thought that he would not come tonight.

She had not expected him to have prepared a surprise for her a long time ago.

As she looked at the firefly heaven before her, Lin Che’s heart truly felt so full.

She felt her entire body heating up. She felt feverish as if she could not even speak at the moment.

Most girls would like things like this.

Although they would say that such surprises were too cringeworthy, they would still feel extremely glad to see them.

Lin Che walked into the world of fireflies in strides. When she reached out her hands, she could see the little stars and dots fly between her fingers.

She raised her head and looked at Gu Jingze.

“Hmph. You lied to me!”

Gu Jingze smiled while looking at her. “You’re the stupid one.”

“How... how was I supposed to know that you weren’t angry?”

Gu Jingze held her hand. “I’m angry.”

Lin Che quickly resumed a pandering smile. “The atmosphere is so nice. Don’t be angry anymore.”

There was nothing Gu Jingze could do about her. He pinched her hands and asked, “Why are you so good at causing trouble?”

Lin Che said, “You really can’t blame me this time. The room I went to was the one you reserved for me.”

Gu Jingze shook his head. “Your subordinates were probably lured away this time.”

Lin Che said, “As for Qin Qing, I really just didn’t want to see anything happen to him in front of me.”

Gu Jingze asked, “Why? What could I possibly do to him?”

Lin Che responded, “How... how would I know?”

Gu Jingze asked, “Why do I have to personally take action against him?”

“...”

Alright then.

He then said, “Furthermore, it’s better for me if he’s around.”

“Why is it better?”

She wondered if he already had a plan to make use of him.

“By comparing him to me, you will only feel more strongly that not everyone is as outstanding as me.”

“...”

She was wrong. It turned out that he purely wanted to boast about himself.

How could she have mistakenly thought that he had some plan for revenge?

After being with him, she seriously thought of schemes and conspiracies by force of habit. But she had forgotten that her man was a narcissist, to begin with...

Nevertheless, what he had said was, in fact, not wrong either...

Gu Jingze pulled her along and they walked in together.

Inside this forest, they could still see the bright color of the fireflies after a long time.

She really did not know how many fireflies exactly he had prepared.

She said, “How strange. Do people breed them? How did you get so many?”

“I got people to catch them.”

“...”

In that case, how many people did he need to catch them?

She said, “You can’t have mobilized many people to catch them, right?”

“I didn’t need to. I instructed a few of my subordinates to catch them.”

“Pft. You told them to catch fireflies...”

She looked at the people outside who were looking over here with disgruntled expressions. She seemed to understand now why their expressions were so stiff.

“They’ve been away for the past two days and many of them vanished without a trace. Were they away precisely to go and catch fireflies?”

“Hn.”

“...” Lin Che cried out in alarm, “You made these elite bodyguards and personal guards go and capture fireflies...”

Gu Jingze’s expression was completely nonchalant. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing...”

They had salaries of tens of millions of dollars and had acquired skills over so many years. All of them were rarely-seen experts on earth. But now, they had gone to catch fireflies for him to cajole a woman.

They must have been completely dumbfounded when they received this command.

Lin Che said, “Wow. This forest is huge too.”

“Yes. I specially chose it.”

“You’re so prepared... how did you think of this?”

“Baidu.”

“...”

Mr. Gu was too honest.

Lin Che leaned into Gu Jingze’s embrace. For a moment, she felt that the world was so wonderful.

Meanwhile, behind them.

Some people had caught sight of the fireflies over here long ago and were momentarily in awe.

How could there be so many fireflies in B City?

It was not the right season. What’s more, there weren’t that many fireflies in B City.

“Wow. Are those real or fake?”

“Are those actual fireflies over there?”

“Good lord, they’re so cute. I didn’t know there were so many fireflies here.”

“Forget it. Don’t be happy for no reason. This is a wealthy man’s present for his girlfriend. Didn’t you see the number of people cordoning off the area outside? I don’t know how much money he spent buying them. You can forget about it.”

“Damn it. The lives of wealthy people are way too carefree. They can even give such romantic presents.”

Lin Che and Gu Jingze sat there, leaning against each other.

She looked at Gu Jingze and said, “I always feel very unaccomplished. I don’t know how to do anything but act. I didn’t expect to actually succeed when I was just casually playing around this time and giving it a try. Don’t you think I’m really, very lucky?”

In the process of selecting the script back then, she did not think that this script would succeed. She merely found it interesting and wanted to bring it to life on the screen. It had gotten famous just like that. It was really...

Gu Jingze looked at her. “The harder you work, the luckier you’ll be. Furthermore, you can’t succeed without talent either. You selected a good script because you have a good eye. It has nothing to do with anything else.”

“Is that so...”

“Of course.” Gu Jingze continued, “You should know better than me the number of television series produced each year, and how many of them end up failing. The fact that yours was able to gain such fame must have something to do with the way you operate.”

Lin Che raised her head and looked at Gu Jingze in surprise.

Good gracious. He was never someone to praise people.

Where had the sun risen from today?

Lin Che glared at him. Gu Jingze asked, “What are you looking at me for?”

“I can’t believe that you praised me.” Lin Che placed both her hands on her chest.

“...”

Gu Jingze said, “Am I that harsh? To the point where I don’t even know how to praise people? I’ve always been honest about things. It’s good if it’s good and it’s bad if it’s bad. I think that you’ve done a very good job this time, so of course, I praised you.”

Hearing this, Lin Che felt even more proud.

As expected, she did not feel anything when other people praised her. But with one compliment from him, she felt as if she was on cloud nine.

She was the one who had been poisoned by Gu Jingze.

But it was because Gu Jingze did not often praise people, so she really felt great at being praised this time.

She giggled and said, “Looks like I’m quite talented too.”

He pinched her nose. “Of course. The Gu family does not feed idle people.”

Lin Che leaned against his shoulder. The two of them kept looking in the direction of the fireflies. The long night was completely silent and tranquil.

Midway through the celebratory banquet, many people were so drunk that they were already swaying on their feet.

Nan Gongyu saw that Mu Feiran seemed to have drunk a bit of alcohol. He walked towards her and said, “Let me send you back.”

Mu Feiran looked up. “Huh? No need. I called for a car.”

“It’s fine. It’s on the way.”

“You live in the north of the city. I live in the south. How is that on the way?”
