Chapter 62: So Urgent to Meet Her Parents?
Lin Gantang and Assistant Liu were conversing.
A car was parked on the opposite side of the road. Gu Zhichuan sat inside the car and, through the window, saw Lin Gantang dressed in light-colored casual suit pants and a white shirt.
Her curly hair was swept up high, revealing her slender, fair neck. She appeared focused, a side of her he had never witnessed before.
This version of Lin Gantang was unexpectedly captivating, compared to the image he remembered of her smiling in the kitchen, asking him if he wanted soup. It caught him off guard and stirred his emotions.
Gu Zhichuan’s gaze deepened.
The driver who had taken Mrs. Gu to Grampian Garden the last time had been replaced. His assistant, Feng Jin, temporarily acted as his driver.
Before the car started, Feng Jin followed Gu Zhichuan’s line of sight and also noticed Lin Gantang. He remarked, “The man next to Miss Lin is Mr. Lin Mingzhuo’s assistant.”
“Why are they here?” It made sense for Lin Gantang to be shopping here, but their apparent business conversation was perplexing.
Feng Jin pondered for a moment. “There are many vacant storefronts around here. I wonder if they are discussing something related to that.”
When Gu Zhichuan saw Lin Gantang leaving, he averted his gaze. “Back to the company.”
Lin Gantang, who had been busy for two days, finally had a chance to take a breather.
On this day, Lin Zhaonan and Jiang Tongtong returned after their wedding photoshoot. They were affectionate and close, and it reminded Lin Gantang of the matter she had asked Wen Yanqing to bring gifts to her home.
Lin Gantang promptly made a phone call.
The call connected, and she was asked to wait for a moment. She then heard his footsteps and paused apologetically, “I was in a meeting just now.”
The one feeling of sorry suddenly transformed into Lin Gantang. “Sorry for bothering you…”
“It’s alright. The meeting is almost over. Yi Qian is inside taking notes.” Wen Yanqing’s voice was gentle. “What’s the matter?”
“All, I just wanted to ask, weren’t we supposed to tell my dad about our matter?”
Wen Yanqing chuckled. “No rush. The gift is already being prepared.”
“Are you planning to build a building? Should I go see your dad?”
“No need.” Wen Yanqing’s laughter grew even more joyful. “In such a hurry to meet the parents, are you eager to marry me?”
“Ugh! We’ve just started dating.”
Wen Yanqing laughed heartily.
Lin Gantang felt that Wen Yanqing was dragging his feet a bit, which wasn’t like him. But she soon understood why he had liked her for so long, and in this relationship, he was always so cautious.
When Lin Gantang thought about posting a WeChat Moment to make their relationship public, she realized she didn’t have any photos of the two of them together in her phone’s album.
With a sigh, Lin Gantang thought, no wonder he lacked security. She hadn’t done enough.
The cufflinks she had recently received were in a drawer. About to call again, Lin Gantang remembered he was in a meeting. She sent a text instead. “Working late tonight?”
Having received the message, Wen Yanqing checked his schedule and replied, “Might be a bit late.”
“Until when will you be busy?”
Wen Yanqing’s demeanor softened. “Around seven. Can 1 come find you?”
Lin Gantang responded with a big OK.
With a moment of leisure, Lin Gantang remembered her little sister, whom she had ignored for days, and messaged Lin Qiuqiu on WeChat.
She sent three adorable photos of Little Leopard Flower eating, playing, and sleeping.
As expected, Ye Qiuqiu immediately exclaimed, “So cute! 1 want to cuddle!”
Lin Gantang asked, It’s working hours, and you’re slacking off?”
Ye Qiuqiu replied, “I’m done. I’ll wait until it’s time to eat. What were you doing a few days ago?”
Lin Gantand said,” I am preparing to open a bookstore. I’m thinking of ways to attract more attention and customers. I still have to choose a location. I’ll probably be busy renovating it after a while.”
Ye Qiuqiu replied, “Wen Yanqing is so unlucky. He has finally confirmed his relationship, and now his girlfriend is all about her career..”
