Lin Che asked, “Really? I thought that he couldn’t have no money too.”

Gu Jingze put his arm around Lin Che. “That’s enough. This is none of our business. Let’s go first.”

Gu Qigang had spoken with Mu Wanqing for a long time. When they came out after finishing their conversation, they saw Gu Jingze holding Lin Che as she made her way down.

When he saw Gu Jingze, Gu Qigang sighed to Mu Wanqing, “He has really grown up. He has already become the head of the household. In the future, my son will have to give me my funds.”

Mu Wanqing scoffed. “It’s all because of you anyway. If you still insist on leaving, I’ll make Jingze cut off your funds. Then, you will really have to be a beggar.”

Gu Qigang hooked his arm through Mu Wanqing’s. “I’m not leaving.”

It was not because of anyone else. It was because he suddenly felt that he definitely could not leave after seeing Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing had only been eighteen when she first married him. People married early back then. The two of them lived together after their wedding. He did not think that Mu Wanqing was particularly appealing back then. She merely had a good family background and was beautiful too. He could get along with her but he had never felt much passion for her.

However, as time went by, warmth grew in place of passion.

At the time, Mu Wanqing would place his shoes in front of him when he went out and chat with him at night, lying in his embrace and listening to him talk about his day.

She was very patient and was the perfect listener.

In between, Gu Qigang had fallen in love with another woman but that was in the past. When he thought about it in hindsight, that had been a mere moment of passion. After the impulse had waned, he still felt that he would not leave Mu Wanqing.

Because he knew clearly who he wanted, after breaking free from his impulses, he still felt that Mu Wanqing was the woman suitable for him. If he lost Mu Wanqing, he definitely would not find a woman who made him feel as comfortable as he was.

What was love? Love was simply slowly understanding through daily life that the other party was the only woman he wanted and was irreplaceable to him.

He sighed and wound his arm around Mu Wanqing. Upon meeting her again after so many years, he wondered if it was too late to still want to be with her.

Fortunately, she had brought Gu Jingze up so well.

He smiled and said, “Luckily, Jingze is the head of the household. Without me, you nurtured him so excellently. From now, we can retire and enjoy our leisurely lives playing with our grandchildren. We won’t need to bother with family matters. Jingze can just deal with all the difficult issues.”

“Yes. Jingze is doing very well... he’s very outstanding too.” Mu Wanqing looked proudly at his back.

Mu Wanqing had waited half of her life. Initially, she had blamed and resented her husband. Later, she eventually let go of these emotions. Towards the end, she actually remained in the Gu residence not because she was still waiting for Gu Qigang, but because she did not want to leave. She was not here only because of Gu Qigang; even without him, her life could still be of value here. It was also thanks to Gu Qigang’s early departure that she was no longer a mere rich young heiress who did not know what was going on. Instead, she became independent. She had her husband to thank for this; he had indirectly given her her own life.

Everyone in the Gu family knew that Mu Wanqing was the mistress of the Gu family. Even if Gu Qigang was not around, no one dared to be disrespectful towards her either. This was all because she had her own value and did not depend on her husband’s existence.

Gu Qigang looked at Gu Jingze and Lin Che.

“It’s great that our son didn’t learn from me. It looks like he treats his wife very well.”

Mu Wanqing said, “Of course. I brought him up, so he will definitely be good to his wife. You haven’t seen the least of it. He protects her like she’s his treasure. He won’t even allow anyone to touch her. He gets jealous even when this mother of his touches her.”

In spite of her words, her tone was upbeat.

She was not like other mothers-in-law who were extremely upset after their sons were snatched away by their daughters-in-law.

Instead, she felt very happy.

Perhaps she had too many sons, so she found it difficult to get upset too. She did not think that any of her sons belonged to her either...

Besides, it did not matter if all of them were snatched away either since she still had a daughter...

Gu Jingze pulled Lin Che down the stairs. The two of them continued holding hands and were not wary of other people either. They looked extremely intimate.

Until Gu Qigang walked over to them.

He smiled and looked at Gu Jingze. “Jingze... I have something to say to you in private.”

Gu Jingze looked at him. After a moment of silence, he nodded.

In the room.

Gu Qigang said, “Initially, I came because I wanted to see Niannian. I expected to see him by now. Your grandfather spoke to me earlier and asked me to help you... I’ve been a recluse with no fixed abode for so many years. I won’t be able to help you much and I will even need your help instead.”

Gu Jingze said, “Father, you can just say what’s on your mind.”

Gu Qigang sighed and stood by the window, looking outside.

“Long ago, your grandfather abandoned a child behind my back. This child is about your age. He was abandoned in the snow but someone took him away. This is a picture of him back then.”

He handed the photograph to Gu Jingze. “I took the child back from the welfare center. As for his background... I will tell you if and when we find him one day. This person’s identity will be very important to the Gu family’s future too. I suspect that someone deliberately took him away intending to harm the Gu family sooner or later. Why don’t we take an active approach? It would be better for us to find him first.”

Gu Jingze frowned and looked down at the photograph.

It was a photograph of a fair boy wrapped up. Based on this alone, ordinary people would have no clues. But after all, the Gu family was not ordinary.

Gu Jingze’s eyes darted around as if he was thinking about something. After some time, he finally nodded. “I will work on it.”

Gu Qigang patted him on his shoulder and nodded solemnly.

Lin Che had to return to filming very soon. Gu Jingze sent her to the entrance of her hotel. Then, he stroked her hair and said, “I’ll come to see you in two days.”

“I know already. Go back quickly.”

“Hn. I still have things to settle. In the next few days, I’ll choose some newbies to train as your guards.”

“My guards?”

“Bodyguards who will only listen to your commands.”

Lin Che asked, “Don’t I already have bodyguards now?”

“All of them are my guards. They listen to my commands. You’re not their master. Ultimately, this won’t work. There will still be potential repercussions. Guards of the Gu family are absolutely loyal to their own masters. You need personal guards like these too.”

Amused, Lin Che said, “Then, personal guards like these... if they only listen to my commands, they will definitely follow my instructions if you irritate me and I tell them to throw you out the door?”

“...” Gu Jingze’s face darkened. He looked at her and said, “You had the nerve to attend Situ Qiong’s birthday party today. I haven’t even settled scores with you. You still dare to be angry with me?”

“Oh no, you’re so mean...” Lin Che whined when he pinched her face hard.
