21 I WILL DEFINITELY FULFILL MY PROMISES TO YOU
"Stepmother, I''ve said it before. I''m not going back, so just forget about it," Lin Che said.
Through the phone, Han Caiying could not see her, so at the very least, she did not dare act too
aggressively. Her tone of voice brought with it a hint of constion as she said, "Lin Che,
Stepmother is also doing this for your own good. There is nothing bad about the Cheng family.
Although the idiot is dumb, at least his family background is good. If you marry him, you will good
days ahead. You''ll immediately be the Young Madam and be able to buy whatever you want;
their family won''t control you. Your husband is sick and won''t be able to control you either. By that
time, the Cheng residence will be under your rule."
Lin Che snorted. "If it''s so good, why don''t you let Lin Yu marry into the family?"
"It''s because they didn''t take a fancy to Lin Yu." In her heart, Han Caiying thought to herself, Let Lin
Yu marry into that family? In the future, Lin Yu is going to be a proper Young Madam. How can she
marry into that kind of family?
Lin Che said coldly, "Stepmother, I''m not interested in being some Young Madam. I''ve already
asked someone to retrieve my belongings at home. I will never return to the Lin residence again."
Hearing Lin Che be so resolute, Han Caiying''s voice instantly sharpened as she said, "Lin Che, do
you really want to cut ties with the family? Fine! First, return me all the money I spent on you since
you were young. I put so much effort into bringing you up and now that your wings have hardened,
you want to leave?"
Dumbfounded, Lin Che said, "Fine, putting aside the fact that I waited on all of you like a
housekeeper-something I should have received a lot of money for— you have given me a ce to
live after all. I will slowly repay the money I owe you by earning it."
"You... Lin Che, what''s wrong with you? Do you think I''m unaware of your machinations? The
reason you went to Lin Li''s production team is because you still want topete with Lin Li and
seize the opportunity to make Qin Qing notice you, right?"
"Stepmother, your imagination is straying way too far." Lin Che could not be bothered to exin
herself.
Han Caiying scolded, "Why don''t you look at yourself? Which part of you can evenpare to Lin
Li''s pinky finger? Yet you still hope that Qin Qing will take a fancy to you? If you really don''t have
such thoughts, then immediately back out from the cast."
Lin Che scowled and said, "Now get this clear. That is my job. I won''t listen to you and back out just
because you asked me to."
''You... Lin Che said, "Also, if you''re really so scared that I might snatch Qin Qing from her, then
make your daughter look more attractive. What are you threatening me for?!"
When Lin Che finished speaking, she mmed the phone down.
She lifted her head only to coincidentally see Gu Jingze behind her.
His jet-ck irises were like deep waters of the sea, alluring and mysterious.
With awkwardness showing inly on her face, she looked at him and said, "Why don''t you make
any sound when you walk?"
"It''s basic etiquette to walk quietly. Surely, not everyone should be like you, making unnecessary
noises and fussing around?" Gu Jingze walked in with his long legs, his posture elegant.
Lin Che said in a dismayed tone, "Yes, yes, yes. You''re the most well-mannered person and I''m the
most uncultured. Luckily, we''ll be getting a divorce sooner orter. Otherwise, I would really go mad
if I had to be educated and be looked down upon for the rest of my life."
With his hands sped behind his back, Gu Jingze said, "Indeed it''s true."
"What?"
"I''m the most well-mannered and you''re the most uncultured. It''spletely true," Gu Jingze said.
"You..." Lin Che shot a re at him as she huffed. She then walked forward, imitating the small
steps of ady.
Upon seeing this, Gu Jingze''s urge tough almost broke his facade.
Lin Che turned back and said, "Do you like such a gait? Did I imitate it well?"
"So dumb," he said. "With your stupidity, it''s no wonder you ended up drugging the wrong person."
"Hey, didn''t we agree not to bring up that matter again?" Lin Che said, her face swelling with anger.
Gu Jingze looked at her and wanted to say something, but could not help but ask, "Is that Qin Qing
the man you like?"
The smile on Lin Che''s face instantly stiffened greatly. A hint of deep grief shed in her eyes.
"Don''t you feel awkward at all talking to your wife about the person she likes?"
"No," he said.
"..." Lin Che was speechless. "Fine, anyway... yes, actually. It''s alright for me to tell you since you
don''t know him anyway. Not everyone is so lucky to have the person they are attracted to like them
back as well. He and I can probably be considered childhood sweethearts but unfortunately, the
person he has always liked is Lin Li."
When she lifted her head, Lin Che''s eyes met Gu Jingze''s profound ones. At that moment, she felt
as if that sensual gaze could almost prate her body.
"If you want, I can help you get him."
"Get him?" Lin Che looked at him in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"It''s exactly what it sounds like. If you want, I can make him like you and be together with you." Gu
Jingze''s rich voice wasced with haughty arrogance.
"Ha, how can you make him like me?" Lin Che said.
Gu Jingze said, "For instance, I can make him unable to get engaged to your sister. I can impose
pressure on him and force him to be with you."
"Ha, then forget it." She said quickly, "Why not make him marry Lin Li quickly so that people won''t
all think that I''m trying to snatch him away? I feel so awkward in that situation."
Gu Jingze''s brow furrowed. "It''s not impossible either. But are you sure you want that?"
"I''m already married now. Is it really good for you to be talking to a married woman about this?"
Looking at his poker face, she hurriedly interrupted him.
Gu Jingze said, "It doesn''t matter. I''ve said it before. I made this marriage happen, so I can
definitely give you anypensation you ask for. Apart from money,
I can count this as part of thepensation too."
"Forget it. Right now, I just feel that I''ve heard enough of his name. Actually, love is just one part of
life. My bigger wish is to act and improve myself, career-wise. In this way, better people will be able
to see me. Then, I''ll be able to meet much better men. As for Qin Qing, he''ll just be a small interlude
at most by then. Throughout life, who hasn''t met a person he or she loved but could not have,
right?"

"I haven''t met such a person," Gu Jingze said coolly.
"..." Fine, Lin Che thought as she looked at him speechlessly. But she also knew that he was
speaking the truth.
Lin Che said, "Alright. I''ll go take a shower first."
"Alright. But if you change your mind, you can tell me anytime."
"Thank you." Lin Che thought to herself that no matter what, he was still trying to help her.
Gu Jingze said, "It''s alright. I''m your husband. It''s only right for me to consider your interests."
"Including helping your wife find her next husband? Gu Jingze, you''re really too nice," Lin Che
smiled instinctively and said.
When Gu Jingze saw her radiant smile, his gaze paused for a bit before it shifted away. "That''s
right. I''ll fulfill every promise I make to you." When they just married, he had already said that he
wouldpensate her and he was definitely going to.
Lin Che''s heart thumped. As he stood therepletely upright, saying things like "I''ll fulfill every
promise I''ve made to you", she felt that he gave off a deadly sensual feeling. She turned her head
away and blinked before smiling faintly. No matter how good he was, he belonged to someone else
anyway. She was going to divorce him sooner orter.
