Chapter 75: I’ll Go Shopping Together With You

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The television series finally premiered amidst a lot of fanfare.

During this time, advertisements for “Swords of Love” could be seen along every street and alley.

Sometimes, Lin Che could see them even when she went shopping.

But right now, she was just beginning to get some exposure. After all, she was not known to everyone like Gu Jingyu was. Thus, the people outside still did not recognize her. As a result, even if she went out shopping, no one noticed her as well. She was still just like an ordinary person.

But it was clear that the television series was already receiving attention from the broadcast of its first episode.

Its viewership ratings stood firmly in first place and its related news fully occupied the list of hot topics.

And the few main leads inside began to be roped into various methods to generate hype.

Naturally, the response from Gu Jingyu’s fans was huge. Every day, his fans followed him around noisily as he attended his promotional activities and made everyone envious.

Mu Feiran liked to keep a low profile. She did not really like to attend promotional activities and only went to several important places. One could tell that she had the style of a greatly successful person.

And a small actress like Lin Che could only move to wherever she was needed. She followed suit and attended the promotional activities to the point where her legs nearly broke.

However, she also reaped many benefits. Gradually, she started being able to respond to the reporters’ questions. She began to learn from Gu Jingyu and was able to beat about the bush.

Gu Jingyu took very good care of her the entire time and as a result, her reputation began to rise as well.

Furthermore, what was even more delightful was that Lin Che’s tough-girl role in the television series was extremely well-received. In no time, there were already people claiming to be Lin Che’s fans and even a fan club was established.

Lin Che knew that this was just a temporary effect. Whether or not this phenomenon could continue still depended on how her future developed.

However, even if this was the case, she was already very satisfied.

On the day that they went to the Gu residence to have a meal, the television series was coincidentally broadcasted on the television.

Gu Jingze immediately saw Lin Che in the television series. She was holding a whip in her hand and appeared unrestrained and handsome. She looked extremely dashing.

Contrary to what Gu Jingze had expected, Lin Che had such a side to her. He could not help but take another look at the television series, even though he never watched any.

Lin Che was usually such a dazed person. He could not tell that she, in fact, had quite the flair for acting.

After the two of them ate at the Gu residence, they prepared to return to their own home.

While they were waiting at the entrance for the driver to pick them up, Lin Che suddenly said, “Actually, this place is pretty close to the house. Why do we have to insist on waiting for the driver to come? Let’s just walk back. We ate so much for dinner; it’ll be nice for our digestion.”

Behind them, just when Qin Hao wanted to come up to them and say something to stop them, he saw Gu Jingze stretching out a hand calmly. He gestured at Qin Hao to swallow what he was about to say.

Gu Jingze looked at the sky and secretly gave a cue to the bodyguards behind him with his eyes. Thereafter, he nodded at Lin Che. “Alright. We’ll do as you said.”

When they arrived outside, the bodyguards spread themselves out slightly. Gu Jingze turned his head and took a glance. Only after ascertaining that everything was fine did he relax and walk outward along the street with Lin Che.

This was a well-known area for the wealthy in B City. The back of the area was filled with villas attached with gardens and various manor. Not many people lived there.

However, Lin Che felt that there were even fewer people than usual today.

She did not notice that there were many bodyguards following behind her. She walked on the path feeling at ease in her heart.

The streetlights beside the road shone down on a narrow stone-tiled path. It appeared very peaceful and secluded. Looking into the distance, there was a great feel to it.

With one look, Lin Che saw someone selling handmade soaps at the side. She was attracted by those little trinkets and immediately shouted before hurriedly walking over. “Gu Jingze, look. This small rabbit was made so realistically. I want to buy it.”

When the shop owner saw the people following behind them, he just felt that their aura was extraordinary. They just did not look like ordinary people. Upon seeing the bodyguards dressed in black who were silently following behind them, a chill ran down his back.

Thus, he was very fearful and respectful to the few important people who had suddenly come to his small shop. He said cautiously to Lin Che, “These are all handmade. They can simply be made on the spot and absolutely have the most natural fragrances.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Jingze said to Lin Che, “If you like it, you can try making one yourself.”

Lin Che said, “Really? Can I make one on my own?”

The shop owner quickly said, “Of course you can. Here, we provide molds for customers to try on their own.”

Immediately, Lin Che got very happy and smiled until she was grinning from ear to ear.

As Gu Jingze saw this, the corners of his lips also began to lift up slightly.

Lin Che was really a person who was very easy to satisfy. Such a small trinket could even make her smile so happily.

The two of them entered the shop. The bodyguards outside naturally gathered together and quietly waited outside.

As Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze, she broke into a mischievous smile. “Excuse me. I want to make a handmade soap that is in his shape. Do you think that’s possible?”

The shop owner said, “That... it’s not impossible either.”

Gu Jingze presently stood beside her. Upon hearing this, he looked down and smiled. “Don’t you think that’s a little inappropriate?”

“How was it inappropriate?” Lin Che said.

Gu Jingze snickered. A corner of his lips lifted gently. “Handmade soaps are used when you’re showering? So you mean that you hope to use a soap made in my liking to rub all over your body when you’re showering?”

“...” Lin Che’s face turned completely red. “I don’t mean that at all!”

Gu Jingze lowered his head again slightly. As he looked at her small neck, he quietly sucked in a breath. He intentionally pressed himself close to her hair and gently said, “It’s alright. I look forward to it greatly. Go ahead.”

“No, I don’t want to do it anymore. I want to make a small rabbit too, hmph.”

The shop owner finally heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

From the side, he helped Lin Che as she made the soap. However, Lin Che’s ability was obviously not strong. The soap she made looked very strange.

Gu Jingze said, “Look at how clumsy you are.”

He could not tolerate that dumb manner of hers, so he also personally began to help her make it.

“How should I do this?”

“Stupid. Move your hand over a bit. Does this look like a rabbit?”

“Lin Che, how can you be this stupid?”

Lin Che looked at him speechlessly. “Anyone would get anxious with you rushing them like this.”

The two of them bickered noisily. At any rate, they ultimately managed to make a bar of handmade soap.

The shop owner smiled and said, “I can engrave your name on the soap to commemorate this.”

Gu Jingze nodded and said, “In that case, just engrave it.”

Lin Che’s heart jolted immediately. As she looked at her own name and Gu Jingze’s name carved together at the side, the smile on her face deepened slightly.

After a lot of difficulties, the two of them had finally finished making it. The shop owner packaged the soap into a beautiful bag for them. Gu Jingze casually picked up the bag and continued walking out with Lin Che.

Lin Che said with a huge sense of accomplishment, “I’m really talented. I made it look so beautiful.”

“It was clearly made entirely by me...”

“Nonsense. I laid down the foundations. You only made it by standing on the shoulders of a giant.”

“Alright, as long as you’re happy.”

“Hey, there’s ice-cream. I want to eat that.”

Gu Jingze glanced over at it. It was ice cream that was made on the spot. Only little children were eating the ice cream.

“It’s unhygienic; don’t eat it.”

“No, no. Even if it’s dirty, I won’t get ill from eating it. Hubby... buy one for me.”

Upon hearing her call him “Hubby”, Gu Jingze felt his body begin to get tingly.

Frustrated, he glared at Lin Che and said reluctantly, “Let’s go.”

“Oh yeah.”

The two of them reached the bottom of the stairs very soon. However, just when they had taken the last step down, they suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind.

“Jingze, why are you here?”

To think that they would meet Mo Huiling here...
