As if she had been seen through, Secretary Lan’s embarrassment turned into fury. Her face was completely flushed and she felt extremely angry too.
She looked at Lin Che. “Madam, you’re interfering a bit too much. No matter who I dressed up for, you have no right to say anything about it either.”
“Ha. I was just asking. If you want to dress up for someone, you have to consider whether or not the person will even look at you.”
“You…” Secretary Lan had intentionally dressed herself up, but she did not expect Lin Che to notice.
Today, she had, in fact, met Gu Jingze only briefly, just because Gu Jingze had felt unwell the moment he arrived and went to see the doctor.
It was all because of Lin Che that her meticulous style of dress may turn out useless.
Of course, she was angry.
“We don’t know yet if he will look at me or now. Perhaps you can see for yourself when President Gu comes later.”
Lin Che guffawed.
She was so straightforward. Did that mean it was true?
She knew that everyone felt that it was probably fine for a man like Gu Jingze to have one or two mistresses outside. That was why she behaved so impudently in front of her.
It did not matter to her what these people thought. In any case, it was enough as long as she knew what kind of person Gu Jingze was.
Just then, Gu Jingze came in coincidentally.
Lin Che stood there, facing Secretary Lan with a harsh expression.
As for Secretary Lan, who had always taken her job seriously, there was nothing exceptional about the expression on her face.
Gu Jingze walked in skeptically.
Secretary Lan looked at Gu Jingze. With her earlier words in mind, she smiled from ear to ear as she looked at Gu Jingze. The clothes she was wearing straightened out slightly.
But Gu Jingze did not even glance at her…
Her expression soured slightly as a result. She saw that Gu Jingze’s eyes were fixed only on Lin Che. “What happened?”
Lin Che scoffed. “Nothing. You can ask your secretary.”
Secretary Lan’s face remained as stoic as ever, except that her expression looked slightly awkward and her smile seemed very awkward as well. “President Gu, it’s nothing. Madam was just wondering if there was anything going on between you and me… something beyond our professional relationship. I said that there wasn’t. Madam didn’t believe me and even asked me why I dressed up today. I…”
She immediately seemed a little aggrieved.
Gu Jingze looked at Lin Che.
Oh, so she had gotten carried away with jealousy again.
Lin Che scoffed, “That definitely wasn’t what you said earlier.”
Secretary Lan said, “I’m sorry. I did retort rudely and impetuously earlier. But that’s exactly how I am. I was a little anxious. I hope Madam won’t misunderstand.”
Gu Jingze looked at Secretary Lan before glancing at Lin Che. He smiled, waved his hand, and said, “Got it.”
He looked at Lin Che, lowered his head, and put his arm around her waist. “Alright. It’s nothing. Once I’m done, I’ll accompany you out today to have fun.”
Lin Che looked at him. “Are you saying that you don’t believe me right now?”
Gu Jingze paused before looking at her. “How can I not believe you?”
Lin Che said, “This is uncharacteristic of you.”
If Gu Jingze genuinely believed her, he would have resolved the matter swiftly and decisively by now, instead of changing the subject like this.
Gu Jingze said, “Yes. I think there’s a small misunderstanding on your part.”
Lin Che looked at Secretary Lan. “She herself knows whether or not this is a misunderstanding.”
Secretary Lan felt even more aggrieved. Her expression was between laughter and tears. “I dressed up a bit because President Gu said yesterday that I should consider my personal issues. I was also thinking about it. As opposed to wasting time outside, perhaps there would be a few targets in the company. That’s why I tried dressing up.”
Ha. She said it so…
Gu Jingze said, “That’s enough. Secretary Lan, head back first.”
Secretary Lan glanced at Lin Che.
It went without saying what this glance meant.
The way she was behaving like the victor made Lin Che feel frustrated.
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze only after Secretary Lan went out. “As expected, you don’t believe me.”
Gu Jingze frowned. “It’s true that she’s a bit more direct by nature. She was probably disrespectful towards you. I will let her know.”
In S City, people dealt with others in a different manner than in B City. The people here placed work and efficiency above all else. They did not quite know how to speak to and deal with people.
Because Gu Jingze understood, he felt that Secretary Lan might have offended her for this reason.
But Secretary Lan had always done a very good job in terms of work.

He felt that perhaps Lin Che had gotten jealous because she was too sensitive. It was fine to be jealous. Any woman would be jealous. He would cajole her and nothing would happen.
But Lin Che could not be bothered to belabor the point when she saw his hesitant expression.
She merely released her hold on Gu Jingze coolly and said, “That’s enough. Rest up first. I heard you went to the hospital. Have a good rest. I’ll go back and rest up too. I’m a bit tired.”
“Lin Che…”
“Let me be alone for a while. Thanks,” Lin Che said.
Although Gu Jingze wanted to approach her, he did not follow her upon hearing that she wanted to be alone.
Lin Che walked out.
Outside, Secretary Lan looked at Lin Che.
“Madam, are you leaving?”
Lin Che said, “You acted quite well.”
Secretary Lan snickered. “It looks like your relationship with President Gu isn’t as good as the rumors say.”
Inside, Lin Che laughed grimly to herself.
Secretary Lan said, “Take care. I’ll help you look after President Gu well.”
1Was this a provocation?
Lin Che scoffed and walked out directly.
Naturally, a fire was brewing inside her heart because it was obvious to her. But Gu Jingze could not sense it.
She walked while cursing.
That damn Gu Jingze, Gu Jingze!
He was a block of wood.
He was way too trusting of women!
Did he not know that every woman was gifted in acting?!
Lin Che cursed him out all the way home. However, when she returned home and saw a call from Gu Jingze, she did not pick up either. She left her phone there while seething in anger.
She thought that perhaps she had no reason to be angry. It was other people’s prerogative to like Gu Jingze. What did it have to do with Gu Jingze? But she simply felt unhappy that Gu Jingze had actually chosen to believe Secretary Lan and not her.
1This was despite the fact that Gu Jingze was probably a person who believed evidence. He felt that he could not make a decision without evidence.
1It was also true that she did not have evidence.
It had not occurred to her earlier to record Secretary Lan’s words.
But she was still angry.
Impotent rage kept rippling in her heart. At this moment, Gu Jingze did not call again after the first time.
She tilted her body. When she saw Dongzi walking towards her, she asked, “Where is Gu Jingze?”
Dongzi said, “Oh, Miss. I just found out that President Gu seems to have gone to the venue with someone for an inspection.”
“With someone… with who?”
“It seems that he brought Secretary Lan along with him.”
Hehe…
Lin Che immediately stood up and said directly, “Since that’s the case, we won’t disturb his work anymore. Let’s go first.”
Dongzi said in surprise, “Go, go where? Miss.”
“For a stroll.”
She headed straight out. The line of people, including Dongzi didn’t dare to say anything else. They could tell that she was unhappy and quickly trailed after her.
“Miss, tell us where you want to go. We’ll go with you.”
“Let’s go for a drive.”
“Yes.”
Lin Che had not really gone around S City either. They drove around, but there was no place she could go to either. Thus, she instructed them to keep going straight ahead along the road.
Dongzi looked at Lin Che with slight worry. “We’ll reach C City soon if we keep going.”
“Oh. I heard that there are many water towns over there. Let’s drive there and take a look,” Lin Che said.
