Chapter 167: He Had Actually Slapped Her

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mo Huiling had not seen Gu Jingze for many days. Right now, she looked at Gu Jingze fondly and flashed him what she thought was her most beautiful smile.

It was only when Gu Jingze saw Lin Che go in that he looked at Mo Huiling and said, “Why did you come here?”

Mo Huiling pursed her lips. “Why? Do you not welcome me here?”

Gu Jingze’s gaze was downcast. “It’s just that you suddenly came without telling me beforehand.”

“Why? Do you think that I came here for you? I came here because of Lin Che.” Mo Huiling snorted. She intentionally raised her head haughtily. “My life definitely doesn’t revolve around yours. I came because of work.”

Gu Jingze looked at her with narrowed, dark eyes.

“Because of Lin Che?”

“Yes. She wasn’t in a very good condition during filming today. I wanted to come to help her practice and adjust herself a little. We’re pressed for time, so we hope that we can complete everything in one take,” Mo Huiling said.

Gu Jingze nodded his head. “But this is Lin Che’s field of expertise. In actual fact, you don’t know anything either...”

From a young age, Mo Huiling did not know how to do anything. Her position in the family business was just an empty title. She had done nothing at all and he did not think that she knew anything.

Mo Huiling said, “I only thought of wanting to do this properly because I introduced Lin Che to the job after all. It’s just to prevent her from performing poorly and causing me to draw flak as well.”

Gu Jingze was very vexed by Mo Huiling’s words. He frowned and said, “Alright then. It’s fine for you to supervise her. But Lin Che should have no problem at all.”

Hearing Gu Jingze say this, Mo Huiling walked to him, smiled and said, “It’s already this late. Did you eat something before coming back?”

Gu Jingze did not often eat out. It was a little safer to eat at home.

Naturally, she knew this as well. That was why she had intentionally asked him this question.

Gu Jingze said, “Not yet. The kitchen has probably prepared something already.”

Mo Huiling said, “Oh, is that so? I was speaking to Lin Che until now and was too engrossed. I haven’t eaten anything either.”

Gu Jingze said, “Alright, let’s eat together then.”

This was precisely what Mo Huiling wanted. Immediately, an expression of happiness showed even more strongly on her face.

Inside, Lin Che did not know what Gu Jingze and Mo Huiling were talking about either.

However, regardless of what it was, none of it had anything to do with her.

Lin Che drew in a deep breath. She felt that she was still unable to ignore the stifling sensation in her chest. It was as if something was weighing down on her chest. That feeling was truly hard to bear.

However, at this moment, the maid came to call Lin Che out to eat.

Lin Che quickly regained her bearings and walked out.

Gu Jingze and Mo Huiling were already seated at the dining table. Mo Huiling was saying something softly and smiling as she leaned on Gu Jingze’s side. They looked intimate.

Lin Che walked over and could only sit opposite Gu Jingze.

Seeing that Lin Che had come, Gu Jingze raised his head and said, “Quick, let’s eat. What time is it already? You still haven’t eaten.”

Lin Che smiled and looked at Mo Huiling.

Then, the maid came over and said to Lin Che and Gu Jingze, “Sir, Madam, dinner has already been prepared.”

Gu Jingze said, “Let’s start eating.”

The dishes were served. Because of Mo Huiling’s presence, Lin Che felt uneasy as she ate.

When Mo Huiling ate, she ate in the same way Gu Jingze did. Both of them ate leisurely, chewed, and swallowed slowly.

However, Lin Che ate in huge mouthfuls and in extreme enjoyment.

In the past, Lin Che did not really feel anything since it was just her and Gu Jingze. As she looked at their identical movements today, Lin Che thought to herself that it was no wonder that Gu Jingze always called her crude when he saw her eat.

It was probably because she was the only one around him who ate in such an ugly manner.

However, the reality was that Gu Jingze did indeed like the way she ate in huge mouthfuls. As he looked at her eat so heartily every day, he too felt that the food was very tasty and so he began to eat more as well.

He looked at Lin Che. Although her expression was blank as she continued to stuff food into her mouth, her actions were still so efficient.

Gu Jingze instinctively broke into a smile. He picked up his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of a spare rib for her. “We have your favorite sweet and sour spare ribs today. Why aren’t you eating?”

Lin Che regained her senses and frantically nodded. She picked up some food to eat.

As Mo Huiling watched Gu Jingze enthusiastically put food on Lin Che’s plate, the hand holding her chopsticks began to clench tighter and tighter.

She repeatedly told herself that she had to bear with it and endure it silently.

Gu Jingze was simply a person who played it by the book like this. He felt that Lin Che was his lawful wife, so he put up a facade in front of the maids in order for outsiders to believe.

However, at this moment, Gu Jingze saw that there was sweet and sour sauce all over Lin Che’s nose. He smiled and picked up a wet towel from the basket at the side. He lifted his hand and naturally wiped her nose.

The fire in Mo Huiling’s heart was lit immediately with a strike of the match.

She glared at Lin Che with her teeth gritted. She immediately lifted the bowl of soup at the side and walked to Lin Che while saying, “Lin Che, it has really been hard on you today. Eat a little more. Also, you shouldn’t eat such greasy food at night. It’s better to drink some soup.”

While saying this, she brought the bowl of soup to Lin Che directly.

When Lin Che saw this, she quickly said, “No need, Miss Mo. I can do it on my own.”

Mo Huiling smiled and moved closer. “Why are you still calling me Miss Mo? Please don’t be so formal with me. I’m so familiar with Jingze. You’re his wife, so it’s fine for you to call me Huiling as he does. Come on, drink the soup.”

Lin Che really did not want to drink it. She got up and just when she was about to say something, she saw Mo Huiling walk towards her with a cold steely gaze. Her gaze was vicious as she carried the bowl of soup towards Lin Che. Instinctively, Lin Che lifted her hands to block her.

However, Lin Che clearly felt that she didn’t touch the bowl of soup. Yet, it still spilled onto her arms in a sudden gush.

Before Lin Che could even react, Mo Huiling had already let out a scream.

“What are you doing, Lin Che? Why did you block me when I was giving you soup? I wasn’t giving you poison.”

Lin Che and Gu Jingze stood up immediately.

Gu Jingze gazed at Lin Che’s wrists. When he saw that her hands were tinged red from having been burned by the soup and that the soup had splattered all over her body, his gaze turned steely and became even fierier. He turned his head to look at Mo Huiling. All of a sudden, he raised his palm and aimed it at Mo Huiling’s face. With the sound of a slap, he hit Mo Huiling’s face.

Mo Huiling froze immediately.

It was inconceivable and she could not believe it.

Mo Huiling lifted her eyes and held the side of her face which had been hit. She glared at Gu Jingze before her.

He... how dare he hit her?

Mo Huiling gazed at Gu Jingze. In an instant, her eyes welled up with tears and gushed down her cheeks.

Lin Che stood at the side. At this moment, she was completely frozen there as well. She thought that she was dreaming as she looked at Mo Huiling.

“You hit me... ” Mo Huiling’s face had even begun to contort as she looked at Gu Jingze. She bit her lips as she cried and uttered, “You actually hit me. Because of this woman, you actually hit me!”

Gu Jingze looked at Mo Huiling and his eyes darkened immediately.
