In the past, Lin Gantang thought that he was a gentleman who was taking a step back.
Now she knew that this was the true reaction from the bottom of his heart - she did not make him fall for her.
"As long as you have any feelings for me, you won't avoid this kiss," Lin Gantang said.
"You're asking me what I want?" Lin Gantang stared at him with her frosty eyes. "In the past, what Lin Gantang wanted was your love. Now that I've discovered that you don't love me, of course I'll leave you."
Gu Zhichuan saw his outline reflected in her eyes. It was still the same as before, but her gaze was distant like he had never seen. He could not find the passion of yesteryear in her eyes.
Gu Zhichuan had a glib tongue in the business world, but was stumped. "I..."
Lin Gantang waited for him to speak.
Gu Zhichuan opened his mouth, but in the end, he tugged at his tie in frustration.
"See, you can't even say it yourself." Lin Gantang had already guessed it. "Since that's the case, let go. If you're worried about the business dealings between the Lin and Gu families, don't worry, I'll explain it to my father."
Gu Zhichuan was silent.
Lin Gantang thought that he was worried that her words would not work in front of Mr. Lin. She said, "I'm Lin Mingzhuo's daughter. He can't hold back his children as a father. Just like how I made him agree to let me marry you no matter how much my family objected, didn't I?"
Using familial love as a threat was cruel and despicable.
However, Lin Gantang knew that she could put Gu Zhichuan at ease by saying that.
"Are we going to break up or not? I'll wait for your answer here so that you won't regret it later. It's meaningless." Lin Gantang was tired of this.
The summer night wind carried waves of heat.
It made people feel similarly frustrated.
Lin Gantang didn't like to be entangled.
"I have another question." Gu Zhichuan was silent for a long time before he finally said, "What's your relationship with Wen Yanqing?"
Lin Gantang found it ridiculous. "In your eyes, I'm a frivolous person?"
Gu Zhichuan sized her up.
This was the first time he had looked at her seriously.
Her black hair was tied up, her eyebrows were like crescents, her nose was sharp, and her figure was delicate, like frost and snow.
In his impression, she was not as stunning as others.
Until he realized that her eyes were dyed with a faint iciness, clear like autumn waters, cold like the morning dew.
She was actually prettier than all the women he had ever seen.
"As you wish," Gu Zhichuan sneered.
Gu Zhichuan left.
Lin Gantang also returned to the hospital.
They went their separate ways.
Wen Yanqing, who was hiding in a dark corner, revealed himself, his gaze following Lin Gantang.
When Lin Gantang returned to the ward and took out her phone, she found an unread message.
Wen Yanqing said, "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow. The flight is at six o'clock."
After Lin Gantang opened and read it, she thought for a moment and replied, "Alright."
It was rare for Ye Qiuqiu to come to C City. Mr. Lin asked Lin Gantang to accompany her around. He found her a hindrance in the ward. In the past two days, apart from the nurse, Jiang Tongtong had also come to help take care of him.
On this day, Ye Qiuqiu dragged Lin Gantang along to do some shopping. Lin Zhaonan came over from the office.
When Mr. Lin saw Lin Zhaonan running over during work hours, he was quite puzzled. "What happened at the company?"
Lin Zhaonan shook his head. "I found out something regarding Gantang."
"Lin Gantang is up to something again?" Mr. Lin had a headache just thinking about it.
"No, it's the woman called Feng Yangyang that Gantang mentioned previously." Lin Zhaonan handed the documents to Mr. Lin.
When Jiang Tongtong heard this, she came over curiously.
"There is indeed such a person in Anye Road's Grampian Garden. The person who went to investigate said that Feng Yangyang moved in half a year ago. But the person who bought this house is Gu Zhichuan, and Gu Zhichuan often goes there," Lin Zhaonan said.
