After walking out from the hotel's grand entrance, Lin Che pulled Gu Jingze to her and looked at him. "What exactly are you up to? Why was Qin Qing there?"

Gu Jingze said, "Why?" He looked at Lin Che with a completely innocent expression. "The Qin family won the bid for a project and he's representing them as the person in charge of it."

"..." Fine. It sounded completely plausible. "But why must you go to the Qin residence to attend some banquet?"

Gu Jingze asked, "Why can't I? Since he's your classmate and the two of you were on very good terms in the past, I accepted the invitation out of respect. I'll go over and take a look so that he won't be bullied for his young age while supervising the project. What's wrong with that?"

Did he have an explanation even for this?

Lin Che was momentarily stunned into silence. However, as she looked at Gu Jingze, she had a nagging feeling that the situation was not so simple.

But Gu Jingze was already ignoring her and heading outside.

Lin Che quickly caught up with him from behind. "Gu Jingze, come back here. You still haven't explained what exactly is happening."

"You're such a nag. Let's talk about this again when we go back." Frowning, Gu Jingze opened the door to the car and got in.

However, the moment they arrived home, before she got a chance to clarify things with him again, his lips had already landed firmly on hers.

Um... what happened to talking about this again when they got home?

The next day, Gu Jingze woke up bright and early in serious preparation to go to the Qin residence.

Behind him, Lin Che was despondent and wanted to escape.

However, Gu Jingze had seen her through the mirror.

"Lin Che, where are you going?" He asked while putting on his tie.

Lin Che hastily said, "I... I'm planning to go out. I'm going to the filming site to film."
