Mo Huiling looked at them. One was tall and lanky and the other was slender. The two of them actually looked very intimate as they stood closely beside one another.

And Gu Jingze was even carrying a small gift bag in his hand. The shop’s name was drawn on the gift bag; it was called “Carving Time”.

Mo Huiling walked over in a few hurried steps. She pulled Gu Jingze’s arm all of a sudden and quietly inserted herself between the two of them. “Jingze.” She lifted her head and smiled at Gu Jingze. Then, she stretched out her hand as she wanted to take the item in his hand. “What are you holding? Let me take a look.”

Gu Jingze subconsciously evaded her. “It’s nothing.”

Upon being evaded, Mo Huiling’s face froze. She looked at Gu Jingze and pursed her lips. “Didn’t you bring someone along? Why do you still need to carry this? I’ll help you carry it.”

Gu Jingze could not help but glance at Lin Che at the side.

She stood there looking at the two of them. Her face seemed to be fairly calm.

Gu Jingze said, “No need; it’s nothing heavy.”

It was difficult for Mo Huiling to say anything again. She could only tilt her head and secretly glare at Lin Che.

Lin Che did not know what she had done wrong to make Mo Huiling detest her so much in such a short time. But thinking about it, it would have been even more strange for Mo Huiling to like her.

Mo Huiling looked at the two of them. “Why are the two of you here?”

Gu Jingze said, “Oh, we just came from eating dinner at the Gu residence.”

Once again, Mo Huiling reproachfully turned her head and secretly glanced at Lin Che. “Why did you walk back?”

Gu Jingze said, “We just walked back since we had nothing else to do. Why are you here?”

Mo Huiling raised her head. She looked at Gu Jingze with a face full of cuteness. She completely did not care that Lin Che was still beside her watching. “I just wanted to buy something to eat. I didn’t expect to see you two. Jingze, there just happens to be a cafe over there. The ambiance is really there actually. Accompany me there so that we can sit inside, alright?”

Her eyes paused. She turned her head back and said to Lin Che, “Lin Che, it’s rare for us to bump into each other here. Let’s go over together and sit inside for a bit.”

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. She did not really want to intrude upon their quality time together. However, just when she was about to say “No, I’ll go home first”, she felt Mo Huiling suddenly hook her arm through hers as if pretending to be close to her. “Let’s go. We’ll go there together and sit for a while.”

Lin Che was simply pulled along. She turned her head back speechlessly and looked at Gu Jingze. However, Gu Jingze’s expression was aloof as usual. She could not tell what exactly he was thinking.

Lin Che could only follow them into the cafe.

After sitting down, Mo Huiling automatically sat beside Gu Jingze. She looked at Lin Che across from her, smiled, and said, “What does Miss Lin want to drink?”

Lin Che said, “I’m fine with anything.”

To be honest, she did not really like drinking coffee. She could not tell the difference between the flavors of the different types of coffee.

Mo Huiling took charge and called a waiter over. She said directly, “Three Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffees.”

Mo Huiling smiled and said, “Jingze only likes drinking Blue Mountain Coffee. The Blue Mountain Coffee from this shop is pretty authentic. Right, Jingze?”

Gu Jingze could tell that Mo Huiling was intentionally leaning close to him. He could not help but be slightly unhappy.

Gu Jingze said, “Anything is fine.”

Mo Huiling lifted her head to look at Gu Jingze with a face full of tenderness. “Jingze, you’ve even lost weight. Have you been getting tired recently? You have to care more about getting rest. Don’t be so concerned about your job. Your health is the most important.”

Gu Jingze felt Mo Huiling’s hand rest on his arm. He instinctively felt slightly uncomfortable and evaded her touch by moving backward. He smoothly pushed away her hand.

Mo Huiling sensed that he was actually evading her. She became even angrier and moved forward so that she would be nearly leaning against his body.

Gu Jingze’s brow began to furrow deeply. Even though he understood that Mo Huiling had a childish temper and was intentionally putting on a show for Lin Che because she was jealous, he still felt unhappy.

She had gone slightly overboard by doing this.

Again, Mo Huiling seemed to suddenly remember that there was someone else besides them. She let out a dry cough and smiled at Lin Che in embarrassment.

Lin Che pulled up the corners of her mouth and looked at her nonchalantly. Although she felt uncomfortable in her heart, she still looked calm on the surface as if she was unconcerned.

Otherwise, what else could she do? Mo Huiling and Gu Jingze were originally a couple anyway. Lin Che did not even need Mo Huiling’s intentional reminders right now to know this.

Mo Huiling smiled at Lin Che and asked her as if she was very concerned, “Recently, I seemed to have seen a lot of news about you. I still have to congratulate you. That television series seems to be doing very well.”

Lin Che smiled as well. “Thank you.”

Mo Huiling said, “It’s true that I don’t understand the workings of artists like you. But I think that this is probably considered successful as an artist?”

As she said this, she pressed her lips to the cup and drank a mouthful of coffee. She looked as if she considered herself superior and her eyes had a hint of unconcealed condescension.

Lin Che could not be bothered to put on a pretense in front of her. She raised her head haughtily and smiled. “It’s only just the beginning. I’m still very far away from achieving success. But ultimately, I’m still young, so I have a long road ahead of me.”

Mo Huiling had grown up together with Gu Jingze since they were young. Her age was also very similar to Gu Jingze’s. Naturally, she was also much older than Lin Che.

No matter how well she took care of herself, the difference in age between her and Lin Che could still be seen.

When Mo Huiling heard Lin Che say this, her expression changed immediately.

But because Gu Jingyu was still beside her, it was difficult for her to say anything. She could only suppress her anger. She smiled at Lin Che and said, “Is that so? Then I’ll congratulate you on your success in advance. But I didn’t expect you to even know Jingyu. It looks like your relationship with him is really not bad.”

Lin Che said neutrally, “Yes, we’re friends too.”

“Jingyu is really a good person.” Mo Huiling intentionally said, “He’s very nice to people and really knows how to look after them. You two even looked like quite a good match on television.”

At this moment, Gu Jingze stood up immediately and said unhappily, “That’s enough, Huiling. It’s time for us to go home too.”

Mo Huiling’s mood dampened instantly. She stood up with a swishing sound as well and looked at Gu Jingze angrily. “What’s wrong Jingze?”

Right at that moment, Gu Jingze’s phone started ringing.

Gu Jingze glanced meaningfully at Mo Huiling. He saw that the number was Gu Jingming’s. Afraid that something had cropped up, he went out first to answer the call.

After Mo Huiling saw Gu Jingze leave, she turned back and looked at Lin Che. She said, “Lin Che, what exactly are you doing?”

Lin Che sneered. She looked at Mo Huiling’s features change immediately after Gu Jingze left. Her acting skills were really good.

Lin Che said, “What did I do?”

Mo Huiling snorted and said, “You made Gu Jingze carry things for you and even made him accompany you to walk on the streets at night. Do you know how dangerous it is for Jingze to do such a thing?”

“Dangerous?”

“Of course! Do you think that Jingze is like you, a small artiste who has nothing at all? His life is worth more than a hundred of yours! If something happens to him, do you know what the consequences will be? I just knew it. Living together with a commoner like you will sooner or later be disastrous for him. Lin Che, if you want to die, it’s up to you but don’t pull Jingze along with you!”

Lin Che sneered as she looked at Mo Huiling. “Miss Mo, in your eyes, is Gu Jingze just some vulnerable item that faces perpetual danger and can’t go anywhere at all?”
